The Frontier.
PUBLISHKD KVKBY THURSDAY BY
THE FBONTIEB PRINTINO COMPANY.
W. P. Matiiews, Editor.
KOTA BEHA.
The Frontier Printing Company hav
ing purchased the material and business
of Tiir Frontier and the Item has con
solidated the two papers into one, re
taining the name of the former. The
records made by these two journals are
well known. The new management
has only the future to deal with. It will
be its main object to publish a good
newspaper, a people’s paper, and while
its politics will be republican, it will
not be so hidebound or inconsistent as
not to see any good in other parties.
All men will be treated fairly regardless
of party or faction. It has no jlght to
make for or against any man on personal
grounds, but will maiutain republican
principles just so long as it believes
these principles just and eqpitablo, and
proposes so be honest enough with the
party and itself to kick when it con
sistently thinks that the party is wrong.
We believe it is necessary for party
success that the utmost harmony pre
vail—all good republicans must admit
this-and we will conduct Tiik Frontier,
or try to at least, with this end in view.
There is no cause for dissension at this
time and it will not be the fault of this
paper If there is cause in the future.
In merging the two papers into one
the management desires to compliment
the former publishers by saying that
they have done good work, honest work,
not only for the party, but for the city
and the county, and that their efforts
are duly appreciated we honestly believe.
The subscription lists are owned by
us. A new book will be prepared nt
' * once and proper credtts given as shown
by the old books.
In equipment for all classes of work
the office is not excelled by any in tho
state outside of tho cities. We are pre
pared to do almost any kind of printing
and solicit the patronage of the public.
Call and see us.
Yours respectfully,
Tub Frontier Printing Company.
W. D. Mathkwb, Editor.
Gho. D. Riogb, Manager.
Dear Readers; The Item is no more. I
iif have sold it to X'lie Frontier Printing
Company, and it will be merged into and
become a part of Tub Fbontikb. Here
after there will be but one republican
' paper where for the past two years there
hae been two. The consummation of this
end waa deemed advisable by many lead
ing republicans of the oonnty, and in a
business sense it has the enoouragement
of the business men and eitisens of
O’Neill. In surrendering my control of
Thu Inn to the new management I do it
in the belief that its policies and princi
ples will be safe in the new hands. The
editor and manager of the new Fbontxbb
have long represented ideas in oonsonance
with those of Thu Item, and they are not
without plenty of experience in the bus!,
ness or acquaintance with Holt county
readers. I bespeak for Tbb Fbontibb a
long and prosperous career, and respect
fully request Itbk readers and friends to
give it their assistance and support. To
Itrm subscribers who are paid in advanoe
Tnu Fbohtxbb will be sent for tbo unex
pired time, and all subscriptions due from
Ixam subscribers will be paid to the new
management.
!'• • Thanking my friends for the enoour
agement and support they hove aocorded
my newspaper efforts in the past, I again
bow myself out of the editorial arena.

Tbkrb will be no fun at the republi

no harmony there.
Wi would like to place Thb Frontier

want it understood that its columns are
always op;n to all, irrespective of
■$; party. __
Hutchison, for several years local on
the Tribune, is about to start a new
paper in Fremont to be called the Eye.
It ^11 be a black eve, if- he runs up
against Hyatt of the Flail.
The republicans of Holt county must
be united and harmonious during the
approaching campaign, and there is no
good reason why they Bhould not be. 1
And they will be, without doubt.
The Beatrice Express is oil. O’Neill is'
to have a genuine Keeley institute too.
> With the one at Blair this will make
three in the state, and the only ones
authorized to use Dr. Leslie Eeeley’s
bi-chloride remedies. According to
O’NeiU’s contract with the Keeley com

This writer ia an ardent Blaine man
and would hail bis nomination with en
thusiasm, yet is of the opinion that Mr.
Harrison is entitled to a second term.
He ia a magnificent ,American, n grand
executive, and all republicans should de
light to do him the honor he has so
fairly earned. However the convention
decides, and the greatest harmony in the
party may be expected.
Since the above wus put in typo Mr.
Blaine has by public letter addressed to
the chairman of the national convention
positively refused to permit his name
to bo presented to the convention us a
candidate. This will be sad news for
the thousands of admirerss of "the
great American citizen,” yet we consider
it a wise step and decidedly creditable
to the man. This almost assures the
unanimous renominntlon of Mr. Harri
son. ‘Tiswcll.
THE KEELEY INSTITUTE.
The unanimity expressed by our citi
zens in the effort to secure the location
of a Kceloy Institute is evidence tit at
when it conies to the good of tho town
individuality and personal differences
are not ponsiejored. That ten thousand
dollars of stock lias been subscribed
and paid for without going outside of
the city limits is proof that times with
us are not so hard after all. To be sure
this is generally considered in the nature
of an investment that will prove re
munerative, and in view of the fact that
tho great remedy has proven so emi
nently successful in working certain and
| permanent cures nnd that other Kecley
institutes tlnancially have satisfied in
vestors, wo are inclined to think this is
tho correct way of looking at it.
The FnoNTiEit considers jhe numer
ous imitators of Dr. Koeley who arc es
tablishing so called gold clubs and in
stitutes for the treatment of inebriety
as fakes, pure and simple. Unscrup
ulous men are always to be found ready
to speculate upon thn genius nnd dis
coveries of others. It has always been
so. It makes no difference if human
life is sacrificed. The almighty dollar
is the great desideratum.
I)r. Keeley’s bi-chloride of gold rem
edies, cure drunkenness, morphine and
tobacco habits. There is no experiment
about it. It is a demonstrated fact, ami
we have the ovidence scattered all over
tlie land in the persons of the patients
themselves. Dr. Keeiey has been treat
ing these diseases for fifteen years,
though not much notoriety was obtained
until two years ago. The doctor never
advertised his wonderful discovery, yet
he litis received advertising of a char
acter that money could not buy. The
most noted ministers and physicians,
the greatest newspapers and magazines,
have endorsed his treatment after the
most searching investigations, and this
without even the thought of fee or re
ward, except the reward of aidiug the
unfortunate drunkard to a menus of
cure or reform.
Dr. Keeiey has been censured some
what for not giviug to tho medical world
the formula of his remedy, but the
writer thinks he is doing exactly right
in keeping his secrot. Ily authorizing
the establishment of branches in the
different states he is doing as much as
any reasonable man could expect him to
do. lie makes money out of it, and
ought to. But with a largo number of
institutes scattered over tho country
theopportuity is available to all. That
O'Neill has succeeded in securing
one of these authorized branches wo hon
estly think is a subject of congratula
tion. not considering it from a financial
standpoint only.
If we admit that drunkenness is a
disease, and it is now universally so
considered by the medical fraternity,
then the Keeiey treatment is the correct
solution of the great problem of how to
rescue the world from the horrors of
drunkenness. It is prohibition that
co inis.
This paper, with most of our people,
is greatly interested in this matter, and
expects to see every encoursgemcut
given our institute, morally, financially
nnd every other way. There will be
three Keeiey institutes in Nebraska, at
Blair. Beatrice and O'Neill and the
fake factories should not be con
founded with the genuine in the mind
of the publ'c.
A JUDICIOUS PRESIDENT.
It is no ordinary mind that cun turn
off 134 speeches in a month, as many as
twelve of them in'a sing’e day, fresh,
suggestive, free from blunder and gen
erally fitted to the successive localities
where they were made, as did the pres
ident on his Pacific coast trip last year.
That opened the eyes of the country to
the power of mind and judgment at the
head of our government. liven his po
litical opponents recognized the breadth
of instructiveness shown in this series of
speeches. The Chilian episode testifies
to the same solid foundation for the
confidence and respect of our people.
The president himself was the first to
appreciate the grave character of the
mobbing of our sailors and its destruc
tion of the respect due to a friendly
power in the ports of Chili. The con
duct of the affair by our government
drew its inspiration from him. It was
this firm stand that brought the govern
ment of Chili to a realization of the
offense. When that was appreciated at
Santiago it was neither difficult or hu
miliating for that government to ex
press what was due its own sense of re
spect for a power whose friendly ser
vices have been extended in former times
of need.
The adminisliation of President Har
rison has not only completely vindi
cated the honor of our government and
people, but has done it in a spirit of
forbearance that has won the respect of
a power where insidious influence has
been at work to our prejudice. The
prospect is now that the settlement will
leave the two countries on a footing of
regard such as has not existed for nearly
a generation. The course of our gov
ernment has not only brought good re
sults. but improved the name of our dip
lomacy, and the respect in which we
will be held abroad. It is abundantly
Justified in the renewed confidence of
our nation. And Pat Egan, our Pat, is
vindicated.
Tirn democrats do not attempt to
deny that their party is In the throes of
a deadly struggle over their presidential
nomination. The party has been stead
fastly following Cleveland for eight
years, proclaiming that be was the one
man who stood for their principles.
Now comes along an adventurer who
captured Now York, stole, its legislature,
according to his own party press, ami
proposes to get the New York delega
tion in the same way. Ho assumes that
bn himself can carry New York for the
presidency, and ex-Governor Grey In
diana; or he can buy the electoral vote
of some republican state by trading the
congressional and state ticket to the
farmers’ alliance, and finish out what
he would lack on electors. His pro
gramme is meeting with fierce opposi
tion inside the party, however. Meet
ings of influential democrats have al
ready been held in New York to send a
contesting delegation to tho Chicago
convention. “We will not have this
man to rule over us,” is the rallying
idea of the lato dominant Cleveland wing
of the party.
Walt Mason in the Blair Becord
says: “Encouraged by the Keeley cure
every druggist who can raise a syringe
is establishing a little institute of his
own, and once in a while a patient is
secured. One of these druggists re
ceived the following letter the other
day:
Bear Sul: My brother had been an ab
normal drunkard for three years; In that
time he scarcely ate anything, but was sat
urated with whiskey week In and week out.
I sent hint to you and lie was under tront
inout three weeks. He arrived homo two
wooks ago, and since he has not tasted a
drop of liquor of any kind; ho has abandoned
the tobacco habit, never visits paloons and
duos not associate with dlsreptable charac
ters as formerly. The change Is wonderful.
Respectfully yours, P. tv. E.
1*. S. 1 forgot to state that my brothor
died the day he returned home. P. W. E.
There is a great future before the average
American drunkard so long as the enterpris
ing druggist can retain possession of his
syringe.
Tue Fremont editors are fighting dis
gracefully as a result of the recent meet
ing of the state editorial convention at
that place, and Uyattofthe Flail issues
the following direful warning:
I am afraid that the present •■hellebeiow"
that the editors of the Tribune and Herald
are kicking up will destroy the excellent
good feeling and friendly Intercourse so long
enjoyed by the newspaper men of the city.
Of course Smalls and Hammond can do
nothing to make mo hate them for the bible
that I recently lost Instructed me to love my
enemies and bless them that cuss me, but if
they continue their frolicsome mood I may
be tempted to give them a little foretaste of
that hell to which they are so rapidly tend
ing.
Ilyatt dips bis pen in red ink when
be gets hot under the collar, Hammond
slings a nasty quill, and Smails of the
Herald is no slouch, so the fight will be
interesting. Let slip the dogs of war.
Hugh O’Neill, the gallant defender
of thd people’s rights, made an excellent
speech at the meeting of the republican
club last Saturday night, presenting
some new ideas on the money question.
Although Hugh is neither republican,
democratic, alliance or independent in
politics so far as Ihe party names imply
anything he was accorded the distin
guished honor of being elected the first
honorary member of the club, and was
invited to call again. And by the way
.the club room is always open, and you
will he welcome there no matter what
yonr political faith may be.

not only, butf the reality of sturdy health and
happiness, Fred may conclude to engage in
business here again,—Chadrou .Journal.
Fred was one of the brightest business
men of Chadron, but whiskey did him
up. His best fiiends thought reformation
was impossible, but I)r. Keeley’s bi
chloride of gold' cured him. We are
pleased to know that Fred is speaking a
good word for the O'Neill institute.
Gov. Tiia.yeu on Monday gracefully
turned over the governorship to James
E. lioyd, the man who ■ was elected.
The greatest honors in the gift of Ne
braska have been conferred upon Gen
eral Thayer, and now that be retires to
private life at the age of 73 years be is
eutitied to the respect of the people.
He has made mistakes, of course, es
pecially in the last year or two, but this
paper considers him honest. May the
old gentleman’s last days be pleasent.
John M. Thurston forvice president
of the United States? Well, hardly,

state. lie is not in touch with the peo

a representative citizen, hut the general
Is not enough of a politician to stand

' We understand our old and estimable
friend Bates of Atkinson is an enemy
of the Keeiey institute. At nny rate he
refuses under any circumstances to be a
patron, holding that ft man would be
foolish to attempt to eradicate an appe
tite that has taken fifty years to cul
tivate to a highly appreciable degree and
has required the expenditure of a for
tune or two. Well, the argument is not
bad to be sure.
Two of the writer’s old boys have
purchased the Crawford Clipper, and it
will bo a clipper, sure thing. With
Col. William Henry Ketcham at the
editorial table, with whiskers in the
paste pot and scissors in hand, and red
headed Elmpr Brainnrd at the case there
is no mistake about success perching on
the Clipper.

Blair’s new daily, the Evening Rec
ord, is a spicy venture nnd deserves suc
cess. ‘We notice the earmarks of Walt
Mason, who is about to graduate at the
Keeiey institute, and it might be re
marked that Blair would not have a
daily if it did not have the institute.
O’Neill is to have a Keeiey—perhaps a
Daily Frontier.
According to the Advocate the finan
cial standing of Neligh is bad, and it is
proposed to vote bonds or levy a spe
cial assessment. O’Neill comparatively
ds a* millionaire, with several thousand
in the treasury, after putting a thous
and dollars over fourteen hundred feet
into the ground.
Broken Bow wants the republican
congressional convention for this dis
trict and also has a candidate to be
presented at that convention. O’Neill
also wants the convention, and with
pleasure will furnish the candidate, if
the two go together.
Jim Mallon, ex-sheriff of Dodge
county, who was warden a couple of
days under Boyd, is a mighty clever
fellow and we are pleased to know he
will get his job back. Vhen we go to

sure.

Our earnest sympathy goes out to them,
in this, their hour of affliction and sad

Individually our hold on life is but n
feeble one at best. Omnipotence need
only nod, and the scroll of our destiny
will be instnutly rolled up. Then will the
frame, now so sturdy, sink down like n
withered reed; the bonuding step be ar
rested; the bright eye will be dulled; the
lips, fervent with affection, will become as
ice, and the arms, ever ready to receive a
brother in distress, will be straightened
out like our brother's, in the narrow house
of death.
He has faded away as a leaf, and has
passed as the shadow that fleeteth away.
His warm heart that throbbed for others’
woes will moulder away slid join its kin
