A delegation of twenty-three memb
ers |of the O’Neill Commercial Club
went to Sioux City this morning to
meet with the railroad committee of
the Sioux City Commercial Club to
secure their assistance in urging the
Burlington railroad company to ex
tend the O’Neill line west to connect
with the Burlington main line at
Dunning or Thedford. The party
went in a special car on the North
western, leaving here at four o’clock
and will return this evening.
It is a chillier day than it has been
the past ten days when Jack Quig
does not make some kind of a deal.
Two weeks ago he bought the livery
business and transfer and bus line
of George Devlin & Son and last Mon
day sold the bus aud transfer line to
I. N. Boggs, whoconductsa pool and
billiard parlor in the Golden block.
Mr. Boggs does not intend to give up
his other business but has placed a
man upon the transfer line and will
attempt to get a share of the business
Sam Wolf, one of the pioneer resi
dents of Lhls county, will have a pub
lie sale of his personal property next
Thursday and will move to Loulsana
where he has purchased some land.
Sam has been one of the land marks of
this section of the state for so many
years that his departure will be great
ly missed by his many friends and
neiOhbors, but they will all wish him
happiness and prosperity in the “sun
ny south” and will extend to him the
glad hand should he ever decide to re
turn to good old Holt. ’ .
P. J. Hanley was in the city several
days the latter parf of last week and
the first of this visiting at the home
of his parents north of town. He had
been in Omaha attending the wedding
of his brother and ran up for a few
days. Pat is now located at Portland,
Oregon, where he owns an employ
ment agency with branches in several
cities on the coast and is coining
money. The ooast olties are very
prosperous he says but no country on
earth looks as good to him as this sec
tion or Nebraska. He departed for
his western home last Tuesday.
C. L. Lewis of Chambers, who was
so seriously injured in the tornado at
Chambers a month ago, was in the
city last Monday. Mr. Lewis showe
the effect of the storm that he was
through by numerous cuts and scars
upon his face and head. He is afraid
however, that he has been injurec
Ji I seriously internally as he suffers con
slderable pains in his chest since the
night of the storm. He is happy,
however, that his family escaped from
the ruins of their home without ser
ious injury. He desired The Frontier
to extend ths thanks of himself and
family to the kind people of this city
for their gifts of clothing, etc , which
was sent to him immediatedly after
the storm. Their kindness was great
ly appreciated and will never be for
gotten.
Many business changes occurred in
this city the first of the week. Among
the changes was the O’Neill Dray and
Transfer lsne, which has been owned
by J. B. Mellor and Tom Quilty for a
number of years, but which was sold
last Manday to C. E. Hall and John
Walmer who took immediate posses
sion. The new owners are both well
and favorably known in this city and
county, Mr. Hall having served the
people of the county for eight years as
sheriff and until recently conducted
the Busy Bee restaurant. Mr. Walmer
was a resident of this city for years,
prior to his removal to a ranch in the
southeastern part of the county, mov
ing back to O’Neill last fall. Both
men are hustlers and we predict w ill
make a financial suocess of the busi
ness.
The case of J. B. Ryan vs the Chic
ago & Northwestern railroad company
has been appealed by the railroad
company to the district court. Mr.
brought suit in the county court
against the railroad company to re.
cover tne sum or **au lor steers alleg
ed to have been killed by a train on
the Northwestern tracks on the 16th
of last July. In his petition he alleg
ed that the cattle guards on the cros
sing, near his ranch five miles west of
this city, were defective and that five
head of steers, worth $350, got on the
company’s rignt-away and on the rail
road track and were killed by an en
gine of said company. Two more head
of steers were killed on the crossing
on the public highway near his farm,
through the carelessness of the em
ployees of said company. In county
court ne received a judgment of $350
and costs of suit, and from this judg
ment the railroad company appealed.
P. D. Mullen, who for twenty two
years has been catering to the wants
6f the people in the need of livery, has
retired from the business selling his
livery stock to Joseph Filsinger, a
brother-in-law of Mr. Johnson, who is
in the employ of the McGinnis Cream
ery Co., who took possession of the
barn last Monday morning. Twenty
two years ago this month Mr. Mullen
entered the livery business In this
city and lie believes that after con
tinuing in one business for that length
of time that he was entitled to a rest.
He was very successful in bustnessand
has acquired sufficient of this worla’s
goods to live on easy street if he so de
sires. He does not intend to sit idle,
however, as he has entered the life
insurance field and has already writ
ten a good deal of business for an
Omaha company. Pat Is very fortun
ate in possessing the gift of “gab”
that is very essential In the life in
surance business and we predict that
he will prove one of the most success
ful solicitors in the employ of the com
pany. In retiring from the livery
business he says that he is very thank
ful to the people of O’Neill and vicin
ity for the very generous business ac
corded him during the time he has
been in business and he retires from
the field with the best of good wishes
for every one. His successor is a hust
ling young man and we predict will
make a success of the business.
Mrs. Marie O’Donnell Weekes, the
talented and versatile editress of the |
Norfolk Press, will be a candidate for
nnstmistress of Norfolk at the post.
office primary which will be held in
that city In the near future. Norfolk
has been the graveyard of many dem
ocratic newspapers during the past
twenty-five years, many of which were
edited by big and brainy men, but it
was left to this little lady to edit the
first successful democratic newspaper
in that city. And it is a newspaper
in every sense of the word. It is one
of the ablest edited and one of the
cleanest newspapers typographically
published in the entire state. Her
trenchent pen has done valiant ser
vice for the democrats of Norfolk,
Madison county and the Third con
greesional district and she is deserv
ing of the best the democrats of that
city and county cau give her. The
salary of postmistress for four years
would come in mighty handy to the
editor of the Press, as it would enable
her to secure better equipment with
which to publish a larger—it could
not be better—paper and the prosper
ity of the Press would in the end re
dound to the benefit and credit of the
democrats of Norfolk. If the demo
crats of Norfolk appreciated the value
of the Press to the city of Norfolk and
the democrats of that section; if they
knew that the Press was looked upon
> aa one of the greatest weekly publics.
'. .. • e
fcions in the state, we believe that
there is enough chivalry among the
democrats of the one-time sugar city
to give Mrs. Weekes the position she
desires without opposition, and in
honoring her they would also be honor
ing themselves and every patron of
the Norfolk postoffloe. It is the ear
nest wish of the editor that when the
ballots are counted on tbe eve of prim
ary day that Mrs. Weekes will be able
to read her title dear as editor of the
Norfolk postofflce, and incidently the
receiver of the nice little salary that
goes with the position, for at least
four years.
