VOLUME XII O’NEILL, HOLT COUNTY, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 12. 1891. NUMBER 18. j; BOYD'S ELECTION. Characterized by Fraud and Cor ruption at Butte City. THE county seat contest. spencer Wins and the Friends of Spencer Elected, but the Town and Its Friends Counted Out. The Fhontieb has been unable to Ret nny definite figures on the Boyd county election, but we understand that every tiling lias gone Democratic except on the judges, and Butte City is declared tiie permanent county seat. According to all reports Butto City carried everything with a high hand.but in all other townships a fair and-honest expression was given by the people and if a fair count were had Spencer and her friends would be in it big. Undoubted authority says that parties who were favorable to Butte went so far as to seek to get control of the election hoard at Spencer, but were foiled. They, were allowed, howeyer, to remain there all day and challenge. But when a Spencer man went to Butto to challenge lie was unceremoniously fired,'as was also another Spencer man who went up there to see the votes counted. ^ Butte Citv would not give in her vote until nil others were m and then claimed to have nearly 500 votes, an evidence of itself that all was not straight. Santee is no doubt avenged, hut the end is not yet. Spencer will undoubtedly contest aud if right and justice prevails she will win in the end. --- a- — -. Railroad Matters. Messrs. L. F.

Luther started up west Monday night to work insurance for the U nion Insurance company of Omaha. Mr. Goldeu is general agent for this company and has appointed Mr. Luther agent for several counties west. They will work In Rock^ Brown and Keya Paha counties at present. Mr. Luther is competent and reliable and will make a good agent for the company. The Frontier wishes him success in his new Held. The Union company is a home institu tion and offers extraordinary induce ments for one wanting insurance. Its policies are of the very best and in many respects far better than those of any other company. Persons wanting in surance should see these agents before taking out any. A gay party of O’NeilUts were pleas antly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. San ford Parker at Spencer last Thursday and Friday. Those in attendance were: S. (>. Sample and wife, Will J. Dobbs and wife, W. T. Evans and wife, Misses Mattie Mann, Jennie Keysor and Ella Perkins, and Messrs. C. A. Wells, John Mann, E. E. Evans and Frank Mann. They report an excellent time and are enthusiastic in their praises of the charming reception accorded them by their Spencer friends. Prof. J. B. O’Sullivan has been en gaged as an assistant in the High school room of our public schools. Mr. O’Sullivan was formerly principal of our schools, seven or eight years ago, and is competent and trustworthy. With this increased assistance our schools will no doubt increase in efficient work. Mr. Hazelet will remain at the head for the present at least. George Blinco, the gunsmith, met with quite a serious and at the same time very painful accident one day last week. While doing some work with a circular saw, he accidently caught the thumb of his right hand on the saw, cutting the flesh to the bone. Mr. Blinco suffered considerably. William Pettis was in town several days this week jollifying over the Re publican victory. Wanted, a good, stout boy to learn the printing business. Inquire here. Alfalfa Fanning at the Foot of the Rockies As the time approaches for the World’s Fair, greater interest is being felt in the marvelous City of the Lakes. The Cosmoplitan Magazine has devoted 28 pages of the Novemeber number to a most interesting and exhaustive article upon Chicago from the pen of the fam ous novelist, Col. Charles King. Count Jacassy, who spent some time on the ground for that purpose, and Harry Fenn, have illustrated the most charm ing features of the city by twenty-eight sketches. An article upon alfalfa farming in this number, is by John Brisben Walker, who, as the result of ten years spent in the saddle, in direct superintendence of his farm “Berkeley,” one of the largest alfalfa farms in Colorado, gives the reader much val uable information in regard to the irri gation and curing of the wonderful plant which is destined to become one of vtbe most valuable products of tbe United States. General Sherman’s let ters to bis daughter, written from the field during the wav> are perhaps tbe most valuable contribution that has yet been made to the literature of the war. Judge Tourgee furnishes a charming story called “Au Outiug with the Queen of Hearts.” Louise Chandler Moulton* Commander Crowningsheild, ex-Post master-General James, are among the other contributors. Gen. Horace Port er's articles on militia service is worthy of the attention of every one interested in the National Guard. Very curiously, but little attention has ever been given in the magazines to the frightful tra gedies of the Roman amphitheatre, which were carried on through centuries and in which the lives of hundreds of thousands were sacrificed. C. Osbourne Ward, whose book"The Ancient Lowly” last year excited much attention, and who has made this subject his life work, gives an article in the November Cosmopolitan on the “Massacres of the Roman Amphitheatre,” and the article is illustrated by drawings by Dan Beard, and from famous paintingsi cov ering pages of history which will hold the reader’s closest attention.

The services were con* ducted by the pastor, Rev. N. 8. Lowrie, assisted by the synodical superintendent of missions, Rev. T. L. .Sexton of Seward, who preached the dedication sermon. The congregation filled the house and the people weie glad in hav ing the place of woiship completed. The building is neat and comforabie, and cost about $800. Services have been continued this week. Rev. O. A. Elliott of Columbus, It assisting Rev. Lowrie in tbe meetings at this cliurcli, which is located about twenty miles almost directly south of O’Neill, It is in a good neighborhood and they are deserving of much praise for the selfsacritlcing work which ac complished the building of this new church. The Frontier congratulates them upon their success and perserver ance and hopes they will not weary in well doing. The Eagle Club Party. The members of O’Neill’s popular Eagle Club will' give another of their delightful dancing parties it the Acad emy on Thanksgiving night, to which the public is cordially invited. Invita tions are now being issued and the members having the matter in charge are putting forth their best efforts to make the entertainment a success. ' The money derived In this way is to be used to purchase a library to be placed in the club rooms, and the cause being a worthy one, the dance should be liberally patronized. Remember tbe date, Thanksgiving night. New Doctor’s Story. One day when they were criticising Dr. Bliss, General Sheridan came to the Doctor’s defense. ‘‘Dr. Bliss was a good physician,” said General Sherman, “be saved my life once.” “How? How did Bliss save your life?" asked Dr. Hammond. “Well,” said Sherman, “I was very sick in tbe hospital of the battle of Winchester. One day they sent for Dr. Agnew of Philadelphia, and he gave me some medicine,but I kept getting worse. Then they sent for Dr. Bliss, and—” “And you still grew worse?” “No, Dr. Bliss didn’t come; he saved my life!"—Eli Perkins, “WUand Humor ’’ Mr. Wm Z. Swarts, ex-mayor of Sioux City, who is now representing the Neeley institute located at Blair, was in O’Neill today, distiibuting literature setting forth the advantages of the Blair institution. This is a branch of the famous Keeleyjinstitute at Dwight, 111., for the cure of the liquor and opium habit. J. W. AVertz of the Stuart Ledger and G. A.

Oct. 80,1891, I awakened thin morning in Oolnmnbne Ohio, after a night'* run from WellerviUe, O. We exhibited in Oolumnbus until 8:80 p. in., leaving for Newark, Ohio, at 10 p, m. ootobXu 81st, Exhibited at Newark all day, returning to Oolumbns at 10 p. m. At Newark we were met by one of tho largest and most appreciative crowds of the trip. It was composed largely of farmers who had oome to town to see what Nebraska had to show to interest Ohio farmers. It is expressing it mildly to say that they were greatly interested. Our impression of Newark is, that it ie one of th* bright est and cleanest towns, intellectually and morally that Ohio oan boast of, and a man in charge of an exhibit on our train is in a good position to judge. An inter esting feature at Newark is a work shop of the pre-historio mound builders. It is apparently a circular earth work, about n mile in oireumfereuoe, 10 to 18 feot high; i!0 feet in width at the top and 50 feet wide at the bottom, with a massive ditch inside whioh is plainly apparent but is so tilled that its original depth cannot be estimated. The walls have occaisonal breaks in it, whioh evidently were once used as entrances to the fortification. About the oenter of this enclosure is a mound some 90 feet long, shaped to rep resent the body of an eagle with mounds extending each way from the sides to represent wings. The whole formation has been carefully protected and forms a part of the fair ground. NOVKUBBB 1ST Hnndayed at Columbus. Many of the party attended religious servioeB at the Ohio State Fennitentary i\t 10 a. m. It is a novel experience to see 1500 oonviots dressed in dark gray suits with black stripes girding them, marching into chapel to the slow mournful music of the organ, voluntary, breast to back, in dose order and with each right hand resting on the shoulder ahead. The seating of the prisoners occupied 25 to 80 minutes and when seated the congregation pre sented an appearanee never to be for gotten. The dark shade and uniformity of color in the clothes of the prisoners gave it the effect of a background from whioh their faoes rose as from a dead level, standing out in bold relief, for the inspection and study of visitors. To know the history of eaoh of these men would be a revelation of the treachery and seednotiveness of sin that would startle and put us on our guard. The sermon was from the text: “Died Abner as the fool dieth.” The chaplain possessed the happy faoulty of getting down to the appreciation of his hearers and in illus trating the arroganoe of sin and sinful men he brought his audience to a hearty laugh in several instances. In one of his violent gestures his hand oame in oontaet with two hats which were lying on the rostrum’ and Bent them flying accoss the to the first rank of prisoners and oaused a general outburst of laughter. Since onr Hot. Beebe’s plug hat was in this flying game wa flatter ourselves that we “pleased the audience." The speaker likened sin to Joab who had sent for Abner with the avowed objeot of holding a friendly consultation, bat with the real intent of luring him to his death. “Boys” he said, “most of you can witness to the truth of what I say, and I implore you through the remainder of yonr lives, refuse to listen to any propositions from this aroh enemy who seeks only your destruction.” A look at the city from the dome of the capitol building and a visit to the state University completed the days experiences. We were shown through the electrical and meohanioal departmenr of the institution by James E. Boyd, a graduate of the school, who is now connected with the corps of in structors. He mistrusted we were Mo Kinley men and took pains to explain that he was no relation to James E. Boyd of Nebraska, whose father resided a short distance srom Coiumubus. Reference to memoranda reminds me that at Newark I met several relatives of J. D. Qormley, of Butte City, Neb. NOVEMBKB 2ND.

We shall remember Mr. Willbee as a gentleman of ability and a very pleasant entertainer and we hope to have the pleasure of returning the compliment he has paid ns at some future time.

In my Sunday school class when I was in college, writes Eli Perkins, was a dear, sweet little boy. His was be loved by every one and especially by his Uncle William. Still his uncle used to tease him a gcod deal and teach him all kinds of noncense rhymes just to plague his mother. One day I was tel ling the children about Satan. I told .them that Satan was a wicked tempter and that is why our Savior said, “Get thee behind mo, Satan.” “Now,” said I, “can any of you children tell me anything about Satan?’’ “Alfred can,” spoke up one little fellow. “Well, Alfred,” I said, “you can stand up and tell us what you know about Satan?” Then Allred arose proudly and re peated in a boyish key: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I die before I wake. It'll puzzle Satan to pull me straight.” “Why, Alfred,” I said in amazement, “did your mother teach you that?” “No. but my Uncle William did.” FOR THE LADIES We have just received a Large and Varied Assortment of Mus lin Underware and Aprons in all goods from the cheapest to the best. • As this is the first time we have carried a full line of these goods, we invite you to come and examine it and hope you may find it to your advantage to give us your trade in this department.
