A CONFIDING MAN. H« Pat nil Faith In the FubUo and It Waa All Right* There was a young man about twenty years old walking up and down Park place oh if looking for something special, and a policeman who had been observ* ing him for some time finally asked him what he wanted. “I left my satchel in a doorway along here somewhere,” was the reply. “You loft your satchel in a doorway?” "Yes. I wanted to run up to the post office and it was pretty heavy to carry; had two suits of clothes in it.” "And you left it in a doorway?" “Yes. 1 put my wallet containing ninety-live dollars in it, and also a watch worth about thirty-five dollars. I was afraid they might get lost. It was right along here some whore.”# “Well, you are about the greenest chap I ha7e seen for the last ten years!" exclaimed the officer. “Why?” “Don’t you know that some one picked that satchel up within two minutes?” “Ok! I guess not. I’ve alius confided in the public, and I never got robbed yet.” “Well, this is real old fashioned inno cence, and no mistake,” laughed the of ficer. “There is about one chance in a million of your ever seeing” “Ah! here’s the place and here's the satchel!" interrupted the young man, as he stepped aside into a doorway and lugged it out. “I knew it was along here somewhere. Much obleeged for your kindness. Alius confided in the public and never got left yet.” And as he shouldered it and went off down the street the officer looked after him in blank amazement and muttered: “By jim! but I really believe I ought to have tapped him once with my club!” —New York Evening World. Singular Conduct of a Citizen. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a man without a hat or coat, carrying a small valise slung over his shoulder, rushed through the crowd at a promi nent corner near the court house square and began hurriedly to climb up the fire escape of a six story building. Before anybody could prevent him he had got half way »p to the top. Then he stopped, stood with one foot on a round of the ladder, held on with one hand, hung out as far as he could, and looked with wild, staring eyes at the excited throng below. His long hair, thin about the temples and gray with age or suffering, blew about his face, and his gaunt frame shiv ered in the scanty garb that clothed it. “My friends,” he said to the horror struck crowd watching him as he opened with a trembling hand the valise that hung down in front of him, “if any of you are suffering from a lame back, sprains, bruises, neuralgia, corns, in growing toenails or inflamed eyes, one application of this magic salve, which I have the pleasure of offering to you at ten cents a box” But his audience had fled in wild dis may.—Chicago Tribune.

Would yon fight him for me?” “Yes, I would.” “Could you defeat him?" “N-o, he’d probably thrash the life out of me.” “Mercy! Well, never mind. I’ll take you without any fighting; and, oh, dc please remember, my darling, promise me on your honor, that if ever you see Mr. Bigfish coming you’ll run.”—Good News. _ His Idea.

Well, ’pears t< me he’s hunchbacked on the wrong side of ’im.—Boston Courier. Often That Way. “H’m, that young man of yours—is he worth anything financially?" “Why, yes, papa.

Politicians From the Big Sixth Qosslp About Congressional Candidates. From tho Onmhu live, Hi, Mr. W. H. McCann, icgistor of tho Cbsdron land office, has been mentioned lately us a possible candidate next year for congressional honors In 1lie big Sixth district. Mr. McCnnn was scon In tho city yes terday by u reporter, and In response to the mild impeachment he suid: "It is pretty early to begin talking about congressional candidates. It Is difficult to predict just what turn mat ters will take, but I should say just at present that the three most likely men mentioued in our district for congress uro Jack McCall, James Whitehead and Judge Kinkuid, in the order I have men tioued them. Jack McCall Is popular and aggressive. Jim Whitehead is very popular with the farmers, and Judge Kinkuid is widely aud favorably known, so that each of the three will doubtless have a large following. There are other candidates who may develop greater strength later cn, but at present these three are the leaders." Another well-known raau from the Sixth was seen, who BBid: "There aro candidates and candidates in the big Sixth. We have McColi, Cady, lCinhaid, Whitehead, McCann,, Dorrington and others coming to the front for congress. Dorrington, I think, will expect tho Al liance support. I don't believe Kinkaid will be in it to any great extent. He is not positive enough to suit the people. McColi will have a strong following and Cady will have some good backers. Mc Cann. I think, is only in the thing for fun and to help somebody else. The man who can go into tbc race against field and win is James Whitehead of the Broken Bow land office. If Jim While head will improve the opportunity ns ho should he can knock out any mau in the district. He is very popular and is a man of ability and integrity. He lias the confidence of the people. If Jim Whitehead wants to go to congress, 1 think lie cun go.” ABOUT "OUU JOB.” "Havc^ou any candidates for Mata office* up futho Sixth?” "Oh, yes.'v Don’t imagine for a min ute that the big Sixth Is going to lay down when It come* to the election of stuto officers. The Sixth stands ready to servo the dear people In any capacity, however humble or exalted It may be. Yes. we have a candidate for stale treas urer, and he will swing Into tho race with mighty good baching. He la Mr. Joe Hartley of Atkinson, a bankor and n mighty good man In any capaolty Sevural other offices to be tilled next spring will attract the special efforts of some of the energetic citizens of the big Sixth, and we expect to be In the debate, as President Harrison would say, from j the start to the finish.” I Tub govenor of Kansas will appoint someone to fill the senatorial seat made vacant by the death of senator Plum. The legislature which moets In 1803 will elect. --— Senator Pekfkh, In making tho speech in the senate formally announc ing the death of Senator Plumb, paid a very high tribute to the houesty ami integrity of his colleague. In opening bis speech, tho senator said: “Mr. President: I esteem myself ns peculiarly unfortunate In thAt, before I had been a member of this body long enough to become familiar with even tho dlutcfiH ions of the chamber in which we sit, I am called upon to announce the death of my distinguished .colleague* upon whose wonderful resources I expected largely to rely.” What Is Oood Baking Powder? It is a well known fact that carbonate j of amtnoniu is used by bakers in the I preparation of the finest and most wholesome bread and cake, and has I been from time immemorial. It is | among the oldest and at the same time | most healthful constituents for baking powders. It Ib all cvolvud in gns by i the heat of the oven, and leaves no trace of itself in the food, and it is this th it gives it its great value as a leavening agent in thu opinions of the physicians. —JS/ew York Journal FRANK CAMPBELL’S Sewing Machines and Organs. I keep constantly on hand the WHITE sewing machines, walnut, oak or mahogany. The new Rotary Shuttle is the lightest running, most noiseless and fastest sewer of any ma chine ever made. I have the ESFEY Organ always in stock. All mucicians know this to be one of the best Organs made by any manufacturers. If you want a Sewing Machine or an Organ don’t let some traveling sharper take you in. He will be sure to charge you two prices for inferior goods. No mat ter what guarantees he will give you they are not as good as you can get from a permanent dealer in your own locality. I will take orders for Pianos and give the very lowest.prices and most liberal terms. 22-3mo FRANK CAMPBELL, O’Neill, Neb. The Emporium -Is In It! The citizens of Holt county will remember that in our first announcement we promised vou “PRICES MUST COME DOWN IN O’NEILL”. This is now verified for prices have taken a glorious tumble, in O’Neill. We now make you a new promise—Prices have not come down for THIRTY DAYS only, but for THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE DAYS, 5 hours, 48 minuets and 48 seconds in the year. We believe you will appreciate the real cause of low prices and give us a call. With your assistance, by a liberal trade, prices will never get up again where they have been, and the people will not send off to the large cities for goods they can buy in O’Neill as cheap. Mow Listen: In order to make tlie personal acquaintance of everybody and to extend and increase our trade we will sell for a short time at COST! COST! Yes, that’s what we said—Not only calicoes and muslins, but dress goods, underwear, boots an* , shoes; all seasonable and fresh goods. Bv the way there is not an article in stock that has not been bought inside of two years from the manufacturers and wholesale houses. We , commenced business less than two years ago and did not buy 1 out any old stock either. We shall expect everybody who takes advantage of this ACQUAINTANCE SALE to leave their name and postoffice address with the clerks. We have nothing to say of our competitors or their goods, we wish them well and are pleased to see them unite with us in the ■ effort to increase the trade of O’Neill by cutting the hitherto 1 exorbitant prices. We don’t want the EARTH, but we do want to double our trade this month and get acquainted. Come in and get prices and examine stock. Don’t “jew” the 1 clerks; they have no authority to cut any prices below what they are marked; it would lose them their job. WEE SELL FOR SPOT CASH, no time or discount. Respectfully, ; DR.
