Caancilmen Have Gone to Lincoln, Fre

At n recent meeting of the city couu:
[ j, ,V!is decided to send a committee to
lit metropolitan cities of Nebraska to
look ul, the matter of fire protection
an,l examine the various modern de
vk.t,s. The committee consists of his
junior. Mayor Biglin, and Messrs. C. C.
Millard. Benj. DeYarman and Fred C.
tiaiz councilmcn.
The gentlemen sturieu y esieiuay uiuru
jiu; and will visit Lincoln first, then go
m'dinaha and stop at Fremont on the
Wtv hack. In each of the cities named
tlir committee will thoroughly lookup
the matter of fire protection. It is not
tn he presumed, of course, that O’Neill
tjulil support a fire department such as
these cities are blessed with, but the idea
*t,i obtain what information they can
on the subject. There is plenty of ap
paratus for use in cities the size of
O'Neill, and the couucilmen in charge of
the matter may be relied upon to make
n wise and judicious selection if the
ptirrhassc is made, keeping in mind, of
course, that money spent for fire pro
tection is always a safe investment.
The matter was discussed at length at
tin council meeting Tuesday morning,
ami it appeared to be the prevailing
opinion that a light chemical engine
would answer all the requirements of
our city for a few years at least.
The Frontier has upon several occa
sions urged immediate and definite ac
tion in the matter of fire protection, and
‘the quicker the question is settled the
better for all.
How They Stood the Test.
The following figures, gleaned from
the official records of Superintendent
Dudley's office, furnish information of
interest concerning the institute of 1891:
Hole inimtH'i-of applicants examined ....103
Certificates issued.
First grades..
Second grades.
Third grades.
lailuri's, first, grades.
second grades.
Third grades..
This shows that twenty-three who
laM certificates of the above grades
Med to get any at all.
Many of our best teachers wrote pa
pers that reflected much credit foi ad
vanced scholarship. Mr. Dudley sub
jected each paper to faithful, personal
examination, although Prof. Clemmons
wtote the questions in arithmetic and
grammar and did the marking.
Some have said that the examination
wss a little too severe, yet all must ad
®it tbut Holt county should not fall back
in educational requirements or let go the
•tandsrd.

The Frontier is in receipt of its an
nual subset iption fee from Mr. James
Dorgan,formerly of tbis place,for which
he will please accept thanks. Mr. Dor
gan has evidently “struck it rich.” so to
speak, since his visit here a year or so
ago, being now, judging from the fol
lowing clipping from the Daily Common
wealth of Covington, Ky., owner of an
addition to what we should judge was
the thriving little town of Fort Thomas,
Ky.:
A serious accident was narrowly aver
ted in Dorganville, the new addition to
Fort Thomas, yesterday. Mr. Bulrushes
who has a large contract for digging cis
terns and grading, has in bis employ an
inexperienced “Dago” who thought to
lighten his labors and so introduced a
keg of powder and several sticks of dyn
amite into a cistern under course of con
struction—the combined explosion oc- :
curred fortunately when no one was in
the vicinity, and save throwing an im
mense quantity of earth and rocks over
the premises, no damage resulted. Mr.
Bulrushes, however, should exercise a
little closer supervision over his “Dago"
laborers.
Mrs. W. M. Hogsett and Mrs. D. M.
Patterson of Fayette county, Pennsyl
vania, sisters of the DeYarman boys,
came to O’Neill last Thursday night on
the Short Line, and will visit here for
some time. This is the first time for
twelve years that the brothers and sisters
have been together, and although the
boys knew nothing of the intended
visit of their sisters, the surprise was
a very pleasant one indeed. Mrs. Pat
terson’s little son and daughter accom
pained them.
Palmer Cox has signed a contract with
the Ladies' Hume Journol whereby his
amusing little “Brownies,” which he
has made so marvelously successful in
SI. Nicholas and in his books, will here
after belong exclusiveiy to the Journal.
Mr. Cox’s contract begins with the
October number, for which he has
drawn the first of an entirely new series
of adventures of his “funniest little men
in the world.”
Mr. B. T. Trueblood of Grand Island
was :.n O’Neill visitor Tuesday. His
visit here was one of business and
pleasure combined. He is looking up a
location and is thinking very seriously
of stopping right here and starting a
large general merchandise store. The
Frontier would be pleased to welcome
Mr. Trueblood to O’Neill.
The “old man” has been on the sick
list all week, just able to be about to at
tend to necessary business and that’s all.
Next week he and family are expecting
to go over into Boyd county to take an
outing of a week or ten days and visit
Major Dudley and family at their new
home on the reservation.
The town of Mankato has removed
from its location, some of the citizens
going to Butte City and some to Spencer.
Notice has been given to the depart
ment to have the post office discontinued
That county will then be supplied from
Butte City and Spencer.
John Gormley, post master and pio
neer merchant of Butte City, was in
O’Neill this week. He came over Sun
day afternoon, went to Sioux City Mon
day and came back Tuesday. John is a
rustler and is getting to the front in
good shape.__
St. Patrick’s pills are carefully pre
pared from the best material and ac
cording to the most approved formula,
and are the most perfect cathartic and
liver pill that can be produced. P. C.
Corrigan sells them..
Other towns up and down the road
are putting on metropolitan airs by get
ting department stores and we don't see
why O’Neill could not follow suit in
this particular. What say our mer
chants? _
F. B. Cross, son of the late D. I.
Cross, has settled up his father’s busi
ness and gone back to Aurora, 111. lie
will return in November, however, to
make final settlement.
B. J. Ilyan is in Lincoln this week and
will go to the southern part of the state
to look after some property there be
fore returning home.
Monday and Tuesday were vcry^ quiet
days. A calm usually follows a storm,
if the Saturday primaries could be prop
erly called a storm.
Greer Storts, an old O'Neill citizen
who has been out west several years,
came in from Washington Monday after
noon. _
Mrs. Ellis of Whiting, Iowa, was an
O’Neill visitor Wednesday, going on
west on the afternoon freight.

Irrigation Delegates.
State Journal. Nebraska will take an
active part in the irrigation convention
to be hold at Salt Lake City September
15 to 17. At the request of the governor
of Utah, Governor Thayer has appointed
a list of delegates comprising many
representative ,men. The list is as
follows:
W. I). Carlock, Mr S. Baird. Profes
sor Crombic, Professor D. N. Johnson,
Lincoln; F. II. Dunham, Boca; H. O.
Phillips, Lincoln; D. P. Onrey, Henry
St. Raynor, Sidney: C. II. Peck, Tren
ton; C. H. Meeker, McCook;A. L. King,
Culbertson; J. C. Grabel, Crawford; F.
M. Dorrington, Chadrpn; Mon. J. II.
McCall, Lexington; Professor L. K.
Hicks, Lincoln; Leroy Hall, Crawford;
C. E. Warner, Omaha; Dr. I. M. Cooke,
C. E. Loomis. Lincoln; J. I). Graves,
Bcokelman; It. M. Wildman, Culbert
son.
The state is entitled to seven mote
delegates and the governor is ready to
receive applications.
What’s the matter with Holt county
having two or three of the remaining
delegates to this irrigation convention?
The north part of the state is not very
well represented in those already chosen
and we know of no county entitled to
more recognition than our own. We
were among the first to stir up the irri
gation question last year when there
was so much talk about the subject
throughout the state and the first to in
augurate a plan to test, the feasibility of
irrigation by means of artesian wells.
Judging from the statement that the
governor is waiting for more applica
tions, it will not be difficult to get on
the delegation and we would like to see
some of our citizens make the effort and
Tiie Frontier would suggest, for say
three applicants from Holt county, Mr.
D. L. Darr of O’Neill, Mr. W. E. Me
Robert of Leona and Mr. Milton Doolu
tie of Atkinson. <

Special Notice.
Having sold our yard "The Chicago
Lumber Yard” to O. O. Snyder & Co.,
we would say to all our old customers
and friends that they will be treated by
our successors the same as if we still re
tained the yard. And we feel safe to
say that all those dealing with O. O.
Snyder & Co., will obtain good treat
ment, and that the quality of lumber
will be as good and prices as low ai
usual. Thanking you for your liberal
patronage in past years and hoping that
our successors may still receiv e the same
good usage, we are.
Very Truly Yours,
Barnett & Frees.
There is little doubt that many per
sons suffer for years with ailments that
could easily be cured by the use of some
simple remedy. The following incident
is an illustration of this fact: My wife
was troubled with a pain in her side
the greater part of the time for three
years, until cured by Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. It has, I think, permanently
cured her. We also have used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy whenever
needed and believe it to be the best in
the world. P. M. Boston. Pennville,
Sullivan Co., Missouri. For sale by
P. C. Corrigan. Druggist.
I We advertise at present for a firm
whose preparations have proven, in our
own family, all they claim to be. We
refer to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
find Dirrahcea Remedy. We stand up
for this medicine because we have tested
it. This is not an advertisement for the
medicine, it is simply our testimony re
garding it after a fair trial.—Iloutzdalc,

De Witt's Sarsaparilla cleanses the

THE COMING FAIR,
Promises to be the Best Ever Held
in the County.
COUNTY DELEGATES CHOSEN.
Harmony Prevailed Generally Yet Some
Cutting Indulged in as Usual
' and Faith Broken.
Tho secretary of the Holt county agri
cultural society, Mr. Campbell, informs
Tins Fhontikr that the people through
out the county are taking more intorest
in our county fair this year thin ever
before, and he is very conlldent that the
exhibition in general this year will sur
pass any previous effort in that line.
Said Mr. Campbell the other day: "I
have received premium lists from almost
every county in the state, and the prem
iums offered by a majority of them do
not bear comparison with the list offered
by our society. Especially in the
counties in mu uuriu pun oi me siuiu
add adjoining llolt. I observe by
the lists sent me that we offer twice
the amount of money in premiums that
any other county does. When other
fair associations offer $5 for the first
premihm on stock our list gives the
prize at $10.”
“I feel very much elated over the pros
pects of our coming exhibition,” con
tinued Mr. Campbell, and the officers
of the association desire the aid and
co-operation of the farmers in this
movement. There will be a great many
strangers in O’Neill at that time aDd a
first-class county fair will impress them
very favorably with our county.”
"By the way,” and the secretary
glanced at the premium list, "our fair
book this year is a perfect little model
of neatness, and of all the books I have
received, the one gotten out by Tiie
Frontier knocks them all out. It is a
very fine pamphlet.”
The Caucuses.
Saturday the Republican and Demo
cratic caucuses were held and the attuoi
pherc was extremely warm, figuratively,
for some time during the afternoon.
They were all harmonious, however,
except a little fiurry in the Third ward,
where some of the resident voters broke
faith and defeated one of the compro
mise candidates on the Republican
ticket. The following is the list of Re
publican delegates:
First Ward—James DeYarmun, W. 11.

some of the business spirits of this place
were busily engaged during tbclr spare
hours in tho construction of pontoons
for a bridge across the Niobrara river at
llougan’s Island, sixteen miles north
west of this place. Tho first of the
week all of the raaterlnl had arrived and
all of the work that could be done here
was completed. On Wednesday teams
conveyed tho material to the river, on
Tuesday a force of men consisting of
Geo. II. Howrlng, L. J. C. Heichard, II.

the work was done. A barrier to trade
and conveyance has.been removed and
thu settlers on the opposite side of the
river, who have been obliged to
traverse many weary miles to roach a
bridge when it was necessary to come to
the railroad, have now n means of egress
from their isolation and a good ami
short route to tho lailroad. The road
from here to the bridge is good and al
most ns stright as a bird would lly. Tho
writer saw tho bridge last Sunday and
was trucly surprised to And such a
skillful and neat pioce of workmanship.
The channel spanned is about 115 feet
wide. There were teams in Monday
that came by way of tho new bridge
that reached here before noon, did their
trading nnd returned again the same day.
Tho way they have had to come hereto
fore would have consumed two whole
days. The bridge is a monument to tho
enterprise of tho Stuart citizens and
business men who were instrumental
in conceiving tho plan and pushing tho
the work through to completion.

A Big Month.
There were ovor 300 homestead ap
plications made at tho O'Neill land office
during the month of August and Clerk
Harnish informs us thnt it is the largest
number of homestead applications were
made in this offico. There is another
feature of the case which Is interesting
and suggestive. Out of these 300 appli
cants from 100 to 110 filed citizenship
papers at the same time. Today and
tomorrow will undoubtedly be big days
and thiN mouth promises to be larger
than last, as tho towns and ranges in
which lay Spencer, Mankato aud Butte
City come in now. This land is all in
Boyd coutty, which accounts for the
big rush.
Madames Dobbs and Gunnell returned
from Lincoln last evening, They re
port that ns a prize winner Ilolt county’s
Hog palace ami exhibit, owing to the
fact that it is no early and many
of tho things upon which "points” are
given are not matured and could not
bo secured, is not a success, but that as
uu advortinement it Is the greatest win
ner ever sent out from tho county.
And that tho crowd, just as it was last
year, is gathered around Holt county’s
exliibit. It is the attraction of agri- t,
cultural hall. This is Just tho kind of
report Tub Fuontihk expected to hear
from the exhibit.
Mrs. Mary Murphy, step daughter of
John Uiblin, met with a very painful,
and what may prove a very serious ac
cident on tho evening of Sept. 1st, from
which she is still quite ill. She and Mr.
Uiblin were returning home on the
evening mentioned from her daughter's
ami when near the Presbyterian church
stepped into a hole in the side walk and
fell down. Her spine is iujured and the
doctor says she is quite seriously ill.
She is under Doctor Connolly’s care and
everything that skill and care can do
is being done. We trust that no fatal re
sults will follow. •
Messrs. Heed, French and Hunter of
Page came up yesterday to attend to
some matters in relation to the new
school building about to be erected in
that thriving little village. The building
will bo quite a large structure,frame and

lots given tho town for that purpose by
Mr. W. W. Page, on the hill south of
the Short Line depot.

Wc will endeavor to give an elaborate
description of it when fully completed.
The J. II. Meredith household is re
joicing over the arrival at their homo

attorneys are reaping a little harvest,
which we are pleased to see.
