President of the Board of Directors of the Sioux County Company and the party were known to be among the objects of their organization. The company, having been in the city for several years, was known to be among the most prominent in the state. The state superintendent, Corbett, was in the city last Saturday. He spoke to the teachers both in the afternoon and evening. The Meadow Grove Tribune, by C.S. Evans & Son, has reached our exchange table. It is a seven-column folio and bears evidence of prosperity, which we hope may be lasting. United States Senator Palmer and wife, of Illinois, were passengers on the eastbound passenger Friday morning. They had been up to Bassett looking after some real estate holdings. Mrs. W. W. Collins, of Silver, Mont., is in the city visiting with family of O. M. Collins. She, accompanied by Mrs. O. M., will leave tomorrow morning for Sedalia, Mo., on a short visit with friends there.

Morning service at 10:30; evening service at 8 o’clock. Katie Joyce, 20 years of age, was taken to the insane asylum at Norfolk, last Wednesday morning. She had a severe attack of the grip four years ago, from which she never recovered and which is responsible for her present trouble. The lecture delivered Friday night by Mr. Watson before the teachers’ institute. The institute was well attended and greatly enjoyed by the audience. He is a lecturer of more than ordinary ability and those of our citizens who had the pleasure of hearing him felt well repaid. Frank Gallagher, a young man who resides on the Black Bird about 10 miles north of O’Neill, was thrown from a horse Sunday and suffered a fracture of the collarbone. He came to O’Neill in the evening and the fracture was reduced by Drs. Gilligan and Furay. Father Cassidy’s little 10-year-old niece, Miss Cullen, who a short time ago arrived from New York for a brief visit, fell Sunday evening and broke her right arm below the elbow. The fracture was reduced by Dr. Furay, assisted by Dr. Gilligan, and the young lady is now recovering as rapidly as the nature of the case will permit. At a meeting of the school board last Tuesday night Chever Hazelet tendered his resignation as principal of the O’Neill public schools, giving as a reason therefor that his chicory business would demand his undivided attention this fall and winter. The resignation was accepted and Prof. Anderson, of Atkinson, elected to fill the vacancy. The meeting was given by the pupils last Friday night at the residence of Dr. Morris was a pleasant and profitable affair. Prof. Smith’s band furnished some excellent music for the occasion and those whose feet are moved by a concourse of sweet sounds could hardly be restrained from breaking out into a cotillion. The proceeds were about $18. Ghadron Signal: A number of papers in the 15th judicial district are publishing a call for a judicial convention to be held in O'Neill on the 26th. This convention, it is said, was called without the knowledge of a majority of the committee. The committee by H. M. Bullock, of Bushville. It is given out that the convention will most likely be held at Valentine, which is much nearer the center of the district. North Nebraska Eagle: A bashful country girl went into one of our stores one day this week carrying some live chickens. The fowls had their feet tied to prevent their escape and the young woman planned them on the counter. The clerk who waited on her is noted for his polite manners, but he is not always grammatical, and he smilingly inquired, “Are you sure they will lay there?” “Oh, no sir," she stammered, “they're all roosters.” Friday night’s westbound passenger ran into an open switch at Wisner and ditched three cars. The cars ran up against some freight cars standing on the side track and took the side completely out of the coaches. A number of people were slight injured, one baby dying from the effects of wounds received. John Skirving and daughters, Sadie and Nellie, were on the train but escaped, with the exception of a few scratches received by Sadie. O’Neill Baseball The game of ball between O’Neill and Randolph, played on the home grounds last Thursday afternoon, was the best seen in O’Neill since the days when old Tex and Wilson occupied the pitcher's and catcher's boxes respectively. The grounds were filled with spectators and the enthusiasm was something wonderful to see and deafening to hear. Nothing happened to mar the pleasure of the game, except the awful uniting of Frank Dorsey, who had his money staked on the Randolph team and did his best to win it. He missed no opportunity to give the Randolph boys the better. Of the decisions, but for all that our team won out by a score of 7 to 8. Following is the way the game was played: O'Neill..

Barney Ryan took a campstool out with him but he was so excited that he couldn’t sit on it. Patridge says there is a town up in South Dakota with a set of roasters that out roast O’Neill. The field work was simply immense. O’Donnell was good but Holland was out of sight. His one-hand catch was the star play of the game. John Auten was unusually enthusiastic for Randolph. He bet silver dollars against aluminum. - medals with an O’Neill lady and was so excited that he didn’t know the difference. Umpire Frank Dorsey was about as rank as they make them. Captain Merriman didn’t miss the truth far when he told him that he never knew a Dorsey who would give a man a square deal. Harry Dowling sprained his ankle while attempting a slide at second. It was a very painful accident and although he finished the game he was confined to his room for a couple of days afterwards. A voice from the bleachers yelled out to Umpire Dorsey that if he did not let up on his rough work, the vigilantes would be out in the diamond with a rope. Editor Lohman said the remark made him nervous. Hanley pitched a good game considering that he has had no practice this year to speak of. He didn’t fan the boys but he confined their hits so they were easily handled. If the management would give Tim a little more work, he would pitch a game plenty good enough. His arm is in better shape than it was seven years ago when he played with O'Neill’s champion team.

TRIBUTE OF NUMEROUS FRIENDS His Career at a Union Soldier and Fenian Leader-Foanderer of O'Neill. Omaha Bee: For over seventeen years, the grave of General John O'Neill in Holy Sepulcher cemetery in Omaha remained unmarked. By many, this was regarded as a reflection on the patriotism of surviving friends, admirers, and associates in the movement for the betterment of his countrymen. But his memory was not forgotten, nor was his grave neglected. Some time ago, friends of the deceased in Omaha inaugurated a fund to procure a monument in all respects worthy of his memory, and with the assistance of outside admirers, their efforts were recently crowned with success. The monument stands at the head of the grave on the northern crest of the cemetery hill. The location is a sightly one. To the east and north miles of the city’s suburbs are within range of the vision. South and west the eye may sweep the Pappio valley and the valleys and upland. The monument is a square column of polished granite, fifteen feet high, resting on two terraced blocks of granite, and beneath is a four-foot foundation of cemented stone. The cap Stone is cruciform. On the four squares are emblematic designs—the open hand, the Irish harp, the American eagle and stars. Around these shamrocks twine. On the main base, the name "O'Neill" is carved in raised letters, and on the front of the monument is the following inscription: GENERAL JOHN O'NEILL. Dero of Ridgeway. Born in Ireland, March 9, 1814. Died in Omaha, January 8, 1878. By Nature a Brave Man, By Principle a Soldier of Liberty. He Fought with Distinction for His Adopted Country, and Was Ever Ready to Draw His Sword for His Native Land. To Perpetuate His Memory This Monument was Erected by the Irish Nationalists. GOD SAVE IRELAND. The lot is surrounded with a granite coping. General O’Neill achieved distinction in the union army during the war. At the breaking out of the rebellion, he was sergeant major of the First cavalry, having joined the army in 1857. He served with McClellan in the Peninsula campaign, and had a horse shot under him at the battle of Gaines’ mill. Later he joined the Fifth Indian cavalry, serving in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, and for gallantry in the famous Morgan raid was commissioned first lieutenant, and later rose to the rank of captain. Trouble, some wounds forced him to retire from the army in 1884. After the war, with thousands of big countrymen who had just laid down their arms, General O’Neill rallied around the Fenian standard, and was chosen of the leaders of the projected raid on Canada. The movement crystallized in the early summer of 1866, and rendezvoused on the American border from Buffalo to Ogdensburg. General O’Neill commanded the first detachment of the raiders to set foot on Canadian soil. They crossed Niagara river near Buffalo, to the number of 600, and captured Fort Erie on June 1. The day following they met the British troops near Ridgeway, a dozen miles north of Fort Erie. There were three Britishers to one Fenian, but the desparity in numbers did not prevent them coming together. Some sharp fighting was had, culminating in the rout of the British. O’Neill did not receive the support expected, in fact, the movement was without a governing head on the American side, and was forced to retire in a few days. Days from Canada. Arrest followed and the raid collapsed. General O’Neill is best remembered in Nebraska for his efforts in colonizing the state. More enduring than granite is the prosperous and progressive city of Holt county which he founded and which bears his name. The best efforts of his later years were in the interest of the peace and prosperity of his countrymen. He labored zealously to draw them from the crowded cities to fertile lands, then to be had for the asking. Many acted on his advice and struggled through the hardships incident to pioneer farming. Scores of those pioneers are today rich in the world's goods, the ripened fruit of their energies directed by General John O'Neill. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY Ed Tierney escaped from the United States jail last Friday evening about 9 o’clock. The rich for liberty was well planned and boldly executed. Ball, the old man confined on the charge of rape, was the only prisoner because Tierney and Jailor Gibbons did not keep them confined in the cells all of the time, but allowed them the liberty of the jail when he was there to watch them. Ball is subject to fainting spells and it was while suffering from an attack of that kind that the prisoner made his escape. Ball fell over in a faint and while the jailer was administering to his comfort Tierney made a rush for the door. Gibbons realized in a moment what was up and followed hot on his trail and would have overtaken him had he not been attacked by a vicious dog urged on by Mrs. Tierney. Young Tierney ran across the back yard of his own home — which is next door to the jail — and over to his father's blacksmith shop where two horses, belonging to Martin Gallagher, were standing. He sprang upon one of them and accompanied by another young fellow, known as “Reckless" Chisholm, upon the other horse, put spurs to the steed and was off like a rocket. The alarm was spread and pursuit given but it was of no avail. They made good their escape. The plans for the flight were well made and called out without a hitch. Chisholm, the man who aided in the escape, had been staying at the Tierney residence for a couple of days getting everything in readiness and waiting until such time as fortune might find it convenient to favor the brave. Tierney was being held to answer to the charge of petty larceny, and possibly counterfeiting. THE TOILS. United States Attorney A. J. Sawyer and Deputy United States Marshal Hubbard, were in O’Neill Wednesday on what transpired to be important business, especially to J. W. McLaughlin, of O’Neill, who was arrested by the marshal and taken before County Judge McCutcheon upon the following complaint: United States of America, District of Nebraska, Before me, L. W. Billingsley, United States Commissioner to take bail: On this 10th day of August, 1895, at the city of Lincoln, in the district of Nebraska, before me, L. W. Billingsley, commissioner of the circuit court of the United States of America, for the said district, comes Donald J. Sinclair, and upon his oath complains and says, that he has good cause to believe and does believe, that James W. McLaughlin, late of O’Neill, in the county of Holt, in the state of Nebraska, on the first day of May, 1895, at O’Neill aforesaid, in the said district, then and there being, did then and there with the design to abstract the correspondence, and pay into the business and secrets of another, unlawfully did take a certain letter, which then lately before had been in the post office of the said United States there, and had not been delivered to the person to whom the same was directed, that is to say a certain letter directed to one J. A. McLaughlin, at O’Neill aforesaid, contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided. The above is the first count of the complaint, which cites four more similar infractions of law, covering the same dates. One of the letters is said to have contained a valuable package. Mr. McLaughlin was bound over in the sum of $500 to appear before the United States circuit court. The defendant, a young man who has resided near O'Neill for a good many years and has numerous friends. The trouble in this case arose over the similarity of names, his name being J. W. McLaughlin, and the name on the letter being J. A. McLaughlin. One of the letters contained notice that a suit of clothes had been shipped by express to J. A. McLaughlin. It is said that the defendant in this action took the letter to the express agent, paid the charges and took the clothes. It may be a little early for you to think about ordering a suit but some good salesman representing an eastern firm will drop in on you soon, and probably get an order; so we wish to remind you that we have our full samples from two of the best custom tailoring houses in Chicago, ranging from $15.00 up, and guarantee as good satisfaction in fit and price as can possibly be obtained from any traveling agent. The same will apply to our white shirts, underwear, collars, hosiery etc., and we hope you will inspect our stock before sending out of town. Yours respectfully, J. P. Mann.
