Moreover, a number of persons who

of the big city have all been greatly
enthusiastic over him. In addition to
his splendid pitching. he has been bat

a number of cases his hitting has been
the feature of the game.
O'Neil formerly pitched for the
Minooka team, and later twirled for the

the pitching staff, at the same time as
the now celebrated Christy Matthew
son. He never played professional ball
here but on one occasion helped out
the local management by twirling a
game against the crack Richmond
team, the Atlantic league champions.
He was a student at the Stroudsburg
State Normal school for some time, and
played OH both the base ball and foot
ball teams of that institution. His
brother. John. who is now catching for
st. Louis played on Marty Swift's local
Atlantic League team, and later caught
in the Eastern league.

enjoys the confidence and esteem Of u

DR.. Brennan is one Of the most

The campaign liar is in the held-kcep
your eye on him. When one of the small
handful of Neil MacDonald's supporters
tells you that Crawford cannot qualify
he tells you something that is not the
truth. The qualifications of Mr.. Craw-
ford for county superintendent of schools
was thoroughly Investigated before his
name was placed before the convention
and found to be thoroughly satisfactory
legally and otherwise. We Hatter our
selves that the legal opinion as to Mr.
Crawford's qualifications came from an
emincntly more reliable source than that
presented by "Citizen," who cites an
opinion from that walking distillery, S.
G. Comstock, the republican, attorney
general. whom the party was too much
ashamed of to nominate for second
term The statement that Chas. G..
Crawford cannot qualify for the office of
county superintendent of schools is no
thing more or less than Il political cam

Neil McDonalds plight is a good deal
