O’Neill’s Chance.
Here is a chance for O’Neill to secure
a sugar factory, and.. the opportunity
should be grasped with all the earnest'
ness our citizens can command.
The following telegram from Norfolk
to tha Sioux City Tribune explains itself:
“Johh Koenigstein, mayor of this city,
comes out today in an open letter, mak
ing a pioposition to Norfolk or any Ne
braska city or town to build, equip and
operate a beet sugar factory. Mr. Koe
nigstein states that bo has ample capital
and an experienced company back of
him. He proposes to pay four dollars
and fifty cents pet ton for beets, regard
less of the saccharine percentage, and
oilers a premium of fifty dollars to any
one raising 100 tons. At least 0,000 acres
of beets must be guarantee!.. If a satis
factory arrangement can be entered into
before January 1, 1892, the new factory
can be completed ready for beets Oc
tober following.”
It would be quite the proper thing for
the mayor to call a meeting of the citi
zens at an early date and appoint a com
mittee to go down to Norfolk and wait
upon Mr. Keonigstein and ascertain if
it is possible for O’Neill to secure the
prize. It is worth working for, and the
hustling town that gets on the ground
first will get the plum. The old and
very true adage, “The early bird catches
the worm,” is applicable to this case,
and Tns Frontier advises the citizens
of O’Neill to “Get There.”
Now is the time to HUSTLE!
The Eagle Club.
The dancing party given by the Eagle
Club at the academy Thanksgiving night
has been pronounced by a great many
to have been the most thoroughly en
joyable event of the season. The hall
was comfortably filled and the club
members put forth every effort to make
the occasion a pleasant one.
The music, furnished by two Italians,
a violinist and harpist, was "simply
charming," if we may be allowed to bor
row the expression from a member of
the fair sex in attendance.
The supper at the Hotel Evans was
perhaps the best appreciated feature of
the evening’s entertainment. Landlord
Evans and wife received many compli
ments for the elegant spread.
The Eagle Club is in a flourishing con
dition, financiallv, socially and every
other way. It has a large membership,
which is increasing rapidly. They have
two nicely furnished rooms over Corri
gan’s drug store, one of which is used
as a billiard room. Books, magazines
and papers are to be found on the tables
at all times, and every evening the
young men gather there and spend a few
hours in conversation and social amuse
ments. The money derived from the
parties they have been giving is to be
spent for books, and in time they will
have a large library. The officers of the
club are: H. E. Murphy, presidant;
Fred Swingley. secretary; J. L. Her
sbiser, treasurer.
No married man is allowed to join the
club, and if one of the members so fur
forgets himself as to make an attempt
to get into the wedded world, he is
promptly caught, gagged and bound,and
a largo X branded qp his left heel. This
is not official, but the authority is sup
posed to be good.
The mammouth stock of flour that
Pfund & Wagers have on hand goes to
show who sells the flour m O’Neill.
They have just received three car loads,
one from the Long Pine mill, one from
West Point and one from Randolph.
They propose ro sell these three cars of
flour by January 1, and all persons wish
ing to avail themselves of the opportu
nity of laying in their winter stock
should be sure and examine the quality
and get their prices before buying else
where. _
Don’t forget the “C. C.” supper at the
rink Friday evening. Dec. 4. Come out
and enjoy the good supper served at 8:30
by the young ladies. The apron table
will be worth while visiting. Aprons of
different kinds can be bought cheap.
“The Tree Fates” will be an interesting
! feature in the evening's entertainment.
All are invited to attend.
^EARE NOT

j Guarantee to sell Goods
Cheaper than any House
in O’Neill for the next
THIRTY DAYS.

For the past four or five years It has
been the custom for the Knights of
Pythias of O’Neill to give a ball on New
Yeary’s eve, and the public generally
have come to look forward with pleas
ure to that event and have always
spoken of New Year’s eve as K. P.
night. This year the Knights have
decided they will not give the usual
dance, but will step aside and allow the
firemen, who have been contemplating
giving a ball, to have the use of the
hail on that evening. The Knights,
however, will devote their energies from
now on to preparations for en elaborate
entertainment to be given on the an
niverssary of the Pythias order, which
is Febuary 10.
Tiik Frontier desires to call the at
tention of the Republican lenders in
O'Neill to the fact that there is an infaut
industry in our midst that seemingly re
quires the strong arm of the protective
policy to strengthen it and make it an
institution of some vuluo, Mr. Jesse
Mellor has been endeavoring for some
tune past to induce a few hairs to grow
on the soft, mellow spot under his nose,
but up to date has not been at all suc
cessful. We merely call attention to
this in thu interests of protection, and
suggest that a high tariff be placed upon
hair at once.
Ed Hershiser, who hus been breaking
on the Elkborn rood for several months
past, came up home Friday evening on a
leave of absence made necessary by his
falling from the top of a frieght car
down near Blair one night last week.
Hu was rear brakeman on the train and
it being dark did not see an obstruction
in the way and hardly realized what hit
hlui, the blow was so sudden and unex
pected. He is pretty sore and some
what lame as a result of the fall, but is
recovering, a fact we are pleased to note.
Frank Kubecek, living northwest
about ten miles, met with quite a serious
accident last Saturday, while handling
a loaded gun. The gun was discharged
and the contents entered the fleshy part
of bis right hand and run up the arm,
but the arm was not hurt much. The
wound in the hand is rather serious and
may give him seme trouble. He came
down Sunday morning and Dr. True
blood dressed tbe wound, and at the
latest report it was improving nicely.
A. H. Corbett has secured C. It. Will
iams, a photographer of New York city,
to help him until after the holidays.
This will give his patrons a rare chance
to get the best grade of cabinet photos,
with extra fine gloss finish, for $3 pet
dozen. 21-2
Attention is called to an article on
this page concerning the establishment
of a beet sugar factory in O’Neill. Our
citizens should get together and make a
desperate stab for that factory. Now is
the time to HUSTLE.
Eil Butler returned Sunday evening
from a trip over the eastern part of the
state.
Now is the time to HUSTLE. Get
that beet sugar factory whatever you do.
Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Hazclet spent
Thanksgiving in Omaha.
May Mean to Build.
Chamberlain. S. D., Nov. 27.—An
order has been received here from the
headquarters of the Illinois Central rail
road. in New York, asking for samples
of clay found along the Missouii river in
this vicinity. It hns always been be
lieved that the Illinois Central would
finally extend its line from Sioux Fulls
to this city, with the ultimate intention
of building across the ceded Sioux lands
to tbe Black Hills. The interest mani
fested in the mineral products ol this
section strengthens that belief. Tbe im
mense amount of stock annually shipped
from west of the Missouri is also thought
to be an important factor in this com
pany’s interests m the section.
Attended the Banquet.
From the Atkinson Enterprise.
The Bebekahs tendered a banquet to
their O'Neill sisters last Saturday even
ing. The affair was a complete social
success. Supper was served by Land
lord Sage of the City hotel. About
thirty plates were laid. The following
representatives of the O’Neill lodge
graced the occasion with their presence:
Mrs. Bright, Mrs. Ed. Butler, Mrs. Ed
gar Adams, Mrs. Barrett Scott, Mrs. E.
S. Kinch, Mrs. Ed Uershiser and Miss
Flora Bentley. The gentlemen present
from O'Neill were Messrs. Bright, But
ler and Corbett.

Court Notes.
The jury in the Tierney case brought
in a verdict of guilty last week, but as
yet Judge Critcs baa not pronounced sen
tence. Attorney Golden, who with W,
II. Pierce, uppeared for the defendant,
wished to argue a motion for a new
trial, but owing to the fact that Judge
('rites had heard the case, Judge Kinkaid
declined to hear the argument. The
opinion ia general that Ed Tletney will
not be granted nnother hearing,
The Redfleld case was a hard-fought
one on both sides, and Attorney Dickson
for the defense and Attorney Adams for
the state labored for hours with the jury.
The jury also labored for hours with tho
case when they dually got at it. They
were in tho jury room for thirty-six
hours, and finally came out with in
structions to the foreman to announce
thut they could not agree. The first bal
lot stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. All the other ballots wero
eight for acquittal and four for convic
tion. Court adjourned Mouday and
Kedficld will have to remain in custody
until the March term, when his case will
be heard again.
The Fkontieh believes there should
be some way by which such cases as that
of Itedlleld could bo tried in a closed
court room, from which the general pub
lic should be excluded. A recital only
of the disgusting vulgarity indulged in.
whether necessarily or not we do not
know, is bud enough and what the orig
inal was can better be imagined than de
scribed. Not only is such a case disgust
ing in the extreme, but it is demoraliz
ing uhd in the interest of morality and
common decency should be tried at a
time when the-public can bo excluded
from the court room. If the law does
not permit a judge to exclude the public
we believe he would be justilled and ex
onerated, In view of the circumstances,
in doing as we indicate.
The Winter.
According to an old sign, said to never
fail, this winter will not be as hard and
severe as has been predicted. The old
saying is, that the first three days of De
cember rule the winter, and parties who
have watched ibis sign for years say
they have never known it to fail. If it
bolds good this year, then, it is fair to
presume that our expectations for a se
vere winter will not be realized. This
will be an agreeable disappointment. Of
course we must expect squalls and an oc
casional blizzard, as today is rather on
that order. December 1 was as fine as
any October day, the second was rainy
but not cold, and today, but for the wind
und the slight fall of snow last night,
would be almost equal to the first, bo it
is very fair to presume, if signs do not
fail, that we will have a reasonably mild
winter. Another blessing, among our
many this year, for which to be grac
iously tliaakful.
While rounding up some cattle on the
Grey ranch Monday afternoon Ells
worth Mack was thrown from the horse
he was riding and had his right ankle
badly sprained and bruised. The horse
was going at a pretty lively gait, and in
making a short turn, missed its footing
and fell so suddenly that Ellsworth had
no time to prepare himself for the full,
but was thrown violently to the ground
with the above result. He limped to the
bouse, only a short distance away, and
as soon as Mr. Gray could hitch up a
team was brought to town and placed
under the care of a physician ut his
father’s home. The Eiiontiku trusts
that Ellsworth will be able to be out
soon. He was resting easy this morning
and was nut suffering much pain.
Will Kellar, son of My. and Mrs. J. S.
Kellar of South Fork, accompanied by
his wife and sou, lett O’Neill Wednes
day morning for Florida. They will slop
at Tecumsek and Lincoln several weeks
for a visit and then go on. Their object
ive point is Ocala, Florida, where they
expect to locate permanently if they like
the country and climate. Will and wife
are most excellent citizens, and we are
very sorry to lose them, yet wish them
well in their new home if they conclnde
to locate south. The ill-health of Mrs.
Kellar is their prime motive in seeking a
warmer clime, and we also trust that in
this particular their fondest hopes may
be realized.
C. A. Ingersoil and wife were prob
ably the most thankful people in tbis lo
cality on Thanksgiving day. because of
the safe urrival at their home on the day
before, Nov. 25, of a bright baby boy of
average weight. Tim Frontier extends
cos^tratulatious and well wishes for fu
ture happiness and usefulness.
W. D. Mathews was up to Atkinson
Tuesday evcuing and reports that Dell
Akin, who was hurt by a horse - falling
on him. is resting easier. Tub Fron
tieu earnestly hopes for Dell's speedy
recovery. _
Sanford Parker is about town again
after a few days’ tussel with la grippe.
Tiik Frontier learns that Dell Akin,
while rounding up some cattle to load at
the yards in Atkinson last Saturday, met
with a serious accident. The horse ho
was riding fell and threw him in such a
manner that the whole weight of the
horse came upon him, the pommel of
the saddle striking him squarely In the
stomach. Ills feet got fast in tho stir
rups and when the horse plunged ahead
in its efforts to free Itself, Dell was
thrown into the air and came down on
the hard ground with such force ns to
break his collar bone. The latest word
from Atkinson was that he was being
cared for at the homo of Mr. and Mrs.
James Perry and was receiving every at
lion possible. He Is very badly hurt,
but The Frontier hopes he will pull
through all right.
The Frontier has recotved a copy of
the Medical Lake Ledger, published at
