Ewing Democrat:- Judge Slattery of O’Neill, who so long held the scales of justice in equipoise in that thriving city, and who at all times was a terror to evil doers, made the Democrat a very pleas ant call one day last week. The judge has laid aside his “ermine” and is now engaged in the more peaceful pursuits of inspecting the different G. A. R. posts of the Twenty-Fifth district of Nebraska. The judge was tne guest of Leroy Butler while in town. Dr. Trueblood has been called to Grand Island on professional business, and started this morning. While away the doctor will attend the dedicatory service of the new Keeley institute at Blair, which occurs tonight and to morrow. _ The Rev. J. W. Bates, who has preached very entertainingly to O’Neill audiences upon several occasions, will hold Episcopal services nt the Presbyter ian church next Sunday evening, to which the public is cordially invited. T. V. Golden, chief of the O’Neill fire department, went down to Fremont Tuesday morning to attend tbe annual meeting of the State Firemen’s associa tion in that city. He will remain there several days. The post office at Emporia, which was discontinued some time since, has been re-established. This news will no doubt be hailed with pleasure by a large num ber of people living in the vicinity therof. __ It is time to offer up another hurrah for O’Neill. A Keeley institute has been dropped into O’Neill’s yawning Christmas stocking, which is hung up at all times of the year. The Roseland Gazette, by D. L. Ma chamer. has rnat.e its way to our ex change table. It is a brUbt little pub lication and we are pleased to extend the usual courtesy. Arthur Coykcndall, an employe in Tiib Frontier office, has recovered from an attack of la grippe which con fined him to his room for several days last week. __ C.E.Uall has jumped the counter at the Chicago clothing house and will stay there and assist Manager Smith from noW on. _ •I. R. Smith, from near Paire, was in O’Neill yesterday looking for a house. He expects to move his family to O’Neill soon. ____ Mr. James Doughty, a Sioux City at torney, was in O'Neill on legal business a few days last week. Geo. A. McArthur of the Graphic was down from Atkinson Monday. Mr. Frank Kimberly of Sioux City was in O’Neill last Friday. 1 Burdette as a Reformer. Bub Burdette has gone iuto the busi ness of preaching the doctrine advocated by the new party. In the following nu vico to his son he grows enthusiastic and the son is doubtless able see the point; "So you have joined the anti-poverty party, have you. luy sou? Well your old father is ahead of you there, he didn’t havo to join; he was born into it. Am:you are to nominate a candidate for president and run nlfull ticket, are you? Well, I understand, from some much older and wiser than myself, that to nouiinato a candidate for president and run u full ticket is the aim, object, end and triumph of all reform. If you do that you need do nothing more; nothing more at all. That settles evervthing. bet me look at your platform a minute. H’m! ah! why! this is the perfection of political wisdom; I would have thought I had written it myself; it’s just wliat I have always said the auti-poverty and labor reform party would do. ll’m; pledged an era of high wages,steady cm: ploy men t for everybody at his own terms, high prices for wheat and next to nothing for flour, porterhouse prices for scalawag cattle for the stockman, and choice cuts at liver rates for the honest workingman, plonty of money, low in terest and the best kind of times for everybody except hankers, railroadmen, and manufacturers, who are to have everything taken from them'and are to be kept so poor that they will havo no credit and no money to pay their hands and nothing to do business with. That's grand. If you will excuse mo while you go on and nominate your ticket I will go on down to Eichelsteiner’s and buy me a snow-white ascension robe; I don’t want to have the millennium strike me in a business suit.” Expect A New Road. A telegram from Wallace, Neb., says: Great excitement firevails at present over the prospect of securing another railroad known as the ‘‘Sioux City Short line,’’ which is to start ut Sioux City la., run ning westward on the old survey of two years ago (made by a company known as the Missouri Itiver, North Platte & Denver railway system) touching North Platte, then branching off, making this place the division station, thence run ning westward nearly parallel with the Burlington & Missouri as far as Madrid, thence southwestward through Chase county, touching Imperial and terminat in gat Denver,Col. By running this way it will not be a detrimental to the town, as most cross roads are, but on the other hnnd'will give us competing lines, also a direct railway route to North Platte which will be a great benefit to this sec-, tion of the country. , Willard Wheeler’s Ceal Find. From the Atkinson Graphic. Specimens of coal from the vein re cently discovered and opened by our I former fellow townsman, W. A. Whee ler, in the vicinity of Hot Springs.S. D., have been sent to his father in this village and the Graphic has had an opportunity to test its caloric properties, and is glad to note that the test proved to be of superior quality. As a generator of heat it equals the best quality of soft coal brought to this market, being free from clinkers, while the residuum of ashes is a very small per cent of the original bulk. Mr, Wheeler has evi dently struck a vein of wealth in the Black Hills that will prove to be a bon anza. both to himself und to ull whose interests are identified with the region of country in which the discovery was made. O’Neill Should Hoys Quickly. From the Chambers Eagle. Wliy is it that the enterprising citizens of O'Neill do not secure the erectfon of a flour mill? The town is losing much trade for want of it. Our farmers are hauling their wheat toNeligh, Atkinson and other points and as a natural con sequence do their trading where they get their milliug done. There is a large amount of wheat in the graiuarics here now aud in order to get it exchanged for flour, it will be necessary to haul it a great distance. We would suggest to the O’Neill friends that they get to work when the spring opens and secure one with the least possible delay. As an in vestment it can scarcely fail to be prof itable, in fact it would be a great boom not only to O’Neill but to the surround ing country. Satisfied With Nebraska. From the Ewing Democrat. The many friends ot Dr. Heston gave him a glad welcome upon his return from the Pacific coast on last Saturday evening. The doctor has been in Idaho and on the cq/ist fu# tiie past several months and not only says that he is sat isfied to remain in Nebraska, but thinks it superior in many regards to the far famed Pacific coast. His teturn brings joy to the household of his many pa tients who feared that the allurements of the west would be sufficiently strung to induce him to remain. ODE KBELEY INSTITUTE. O’Neill Citizens Tube $10,000 in Stock and Secure One. MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ALSO. Dra. Connolly and Truoblood Will Establih an Institute For the Treatment of Chronlo Diseoaes, Including Eye and Ear Troubiee. Last Saturday night W. D. Mathcwg was in 131air>nnd visited the Kocley in stitute at that place. Hu had tpiltu a long conversation with Dr. Monroe,who is in charge of tho institute, and from him learned that the company proposed to establish two other institutes iu tho slate. Mr. Mathews at once asked why they could not come to O’Neill and what it would take to secure one. Tho doctor finally made him the proposition that if they and O'Neill citizens could organize a stock company, capitalized at 020,000, and our'citizens would take half of tho stock, paying up $5,000, they would es tablish an institute here. Mr. Mathews returned Sunday, and Monday afternoon a meeting was called to consider the proposition. After con siderable discussion a paper was drawn and subscriptions for stock taken. Be fore night over $9,000 of the necessary amount was raised and tho next day the remainder was secured. Tboro is now little if any question but that we will get the institute and that soon. The town has done its part and all that is neces sary is to have the sanction of the Biair people and Dr. Kceley, who is at the Blair "housewarming” today, and will be seen by the O'Neill parties going down. This enterprise will be of great value to O’Neill and the surrounding country, morally and financially, and The Frontier thiows its banners to '.he breeze and shouts hurrah. Let the good work proceed. At the meeting Monday the fact devel oped that Dis. Jouuolly and Trueblood had been contemplating the establish ment of a medical aud surgical institute in O'Neill for some time past, and in form us that they will formulate their plans soon and get their institute in run ning order before long, 'I’hoy will treat all chronic diseases and eye und ear troubles. We are glad to see this move on the part of our home physicians and wish them unbounded success. It is The Frontier's painful duty this week to record the death of Katie O’Neill, sister of Mrs. Andy Gallagher and Dan aud Michael O’Neill, which oc cured at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gal lagher, where the deceased has been liv ing for several years pust, at C o’clock Saturday evening. The cause of death was consumption, from which dcsease she has been suffering for the past two years. Katie O'Neill was a bright, win some young lady, scarcely 17 years old, and leaves a host of loving friends and relatives to mourn her death. The fun eral services were held at the Catholic church on Monday and were conducted by the Kev. Father Cassidy. Died, on last Punduy at her home nsrth-west of town, Mrs. Jolin Keeley, wife of John Keeley, nr., an old resi dent of this county. Mrs. Keeley was the mother of W. F. Keeley, county jailor, and John Keeley of Valentine. She was a very estimable old lady and her death causes -great sorrow among friends and relatives. The funeral took place Tuesday from tho Catholic church and her remains laid to rest in the cem etary at this place. Tiik Frontier is very sorry to learn of the serious illness of Dr. Walter Lowrie of Chicago, son of Rev. Lowric of this place. Ilis left lung is affected quite seriously and he was obliged to give up his practice over a month ago and seek a milder climate. Me has gone to Xew Mexico and will headquarter at Albuquerque for some time. .Wo hope to soon hear of his complete restoration to health._ Mr. F. Into practical working shape a novel plan for the transportation of passen* gors and frolght In pneumatic tubes, ’ says an oxchange. The lino consists of a pneumatic tube largo enough to take a ; C: car 40 Inches In diameter and about 04 foot long. This car is divided Into three compartments, each of which will ao* . ^ commodate a passenger. Each compart* .«££ moot Is to contain an apparatus filled with compressed air, so that passengers can huve an ample supply of pure air as long ns they remain boxed up. Tho car is to bo shot through the tube at a high rate of speed, but with a gentle sliding ' motion. One of tho foreign papers, In referlng to.thls railroad, remarks: Trav elers will be allowed a limited amountof boggngo, but smoking will be strictly *" ’ / prohibited. An experimental Hue Is to be built on this principal between Ham burg and Buchon, a distance of about fifteen miles, which the cars are expect* 1 ed to traverse in eleven minutes. “Bill Nye was odd of my vestry men in my former parish In Laramie, Wyo.,” said Dean Cornell to a Sioux City Joutn it reporter recently, "lie was a regular at-' tendant at church and aided in taking ' up the collection with a gravity that little suggested a humor which was dea- :,;i lined to make thousands shake their sides with laughter. But Nyo was fuuny J' j then. The Boomerang, named after a mule which formed part of Bill's equip- * ; ment in an unprofitable mining venture, was being published, and tho many bright and amusing things appearing In Its columns had begun to attraot quite wide attention. I don’t think that Nye' has ever written since anything better than he often bad then In the Dally Boomerang. He woe postmaster at that time, by the way, and it was then that he wrote his famous letter of reslgna- *“i tlon to tho president. Nye owed a good deal in those days to Eugene Feild, who . was then on the Rocky Mountain Newt jfih at Denver. Feild, through his many favorable notices of Nye's work, did much to bring him into public notice. ‘ Now he has such a grip on the publio - ^ ear that it will listen to about 925,000 worth of his humor annually. Nyo always had lots of pluck.
