Two Germans arrived hero last
Friday evening from Lincoln on their
way to Boyd county, having taken up
land there. Their names are Herman
Kc’neser and Herman Schiuner. Her
man No. 1 was slightly under the in
fluence of mineral water that he had
taken on at Lincoln, and Herman No. 2
says he was not accountable for what he
did. At any rate, Marshal Lappan
caught No. 1 as he passed Dr. True
blood’s store in the act of appropriating
to his own use several pairs of boots
that hung out as a sign. They rested
all night in the city jail and were turned
loose in the morning, Herman No. 2
making the explanation giyen above
and adding that he was not aware that
his partner had made the grab until the
marshall had him in charge.
Ready For war.
If Chile or any other country dare insult
the American flag, they are everlastingly
forewarned that the O’Neill Military com
payny is ready for n rush call at n mo
ments notice
After the Indian scare had taken wings
and flown away about a yeur ago, the
O’Neill company seemed to have aban
doned all desire to achieve honors on the
Held of battle and by common consent
disbandannd. However, the opening of
a new year put new ambitions into the
manly breasts of the young men and the
weekly drills have been inaugurated.
At a meeting held not long since the
following officers were elected: Captain,
Neil Brennan; first lieutenant, M J.jMere
dith; second lieutenant, John Davidson;
quartermaster sergeant, Clyde King.
Sergeants—C. E. Hall, first; S. L. Thomp
son, second; D. H. Cronin, third; H. E.
Murphy, fourth; J. Paul Bnrchr.il, fifth.
Corporals—S. A. Dowling, first; Merritt
Moore, second; Bob Marsh, third; Bo
maine Saunders, fourth; Charles Bright,
fifth; J. M. Robb, sixth; Merritt Martin,
seventh; W. J. Outhart, eight. Wm.
Adams, first musician; Denis Hunt, sec
ond musician.
Besides the officers given above, the
company has on its roll book thirty-eight
privates They meet every Monday even
ing in the rink for drill. Mr. M. J. Mere
dith, who by the way is a West Pointer, is
drill master. He is well up in army tactics
and will soon have the compauy in shape
to appear before the public. The guns
and ammunition are packed and ready for
shipment from Lincoln and will arrive
hero some time during this week.
When the guns arrive it might be well
for those persons who have pet dogs or
cats or who have a cow that they are
rearing in the path tfiat cows should go,
to keep them tied up in the cellar for a
few weeks until the soldiers learn to pull
the trigger properly.
BRAVE BACHELORS.
O’Neill’s Galaxy of Gallant Gentlemen Should
Suit tho Host Fastidious of Fair Females,
The Frontier fears the golden oppor
tunities of leap year aro not being prop
erly appreciated by the fair females of
O Neill, and thus early in the season
desires to direct attention to a few of
the ’‘attractions” we hage on our list.
If the gentlemen enumerated in this
truthful writeup havo not dono their
duty it is no excuse for the dear ladies
who are now longingly lingering in love
less singleness if this unhappy condition
continues. Now is your time, girls, and
if you do not make a mash that sticks
this year you deserve to develop into
sour old maids.
In the words of Eli the philosopher
and poet, “get there" hard while It is in
your hands to do so. The list wo have
prepared is equal to any in tbs west of
equal number, considered physically,
moially and financially, and it would bo
unpardonable if the ladies permit any of
the boys to remain single.
John P. Mann, a smooth article, about
33 years old, ail wool, a yard wide', the
quint essence of affability, and with the
"stuff” to draw on is an exceptionally
good catch. He is wiley as a trout how
ever, and the angler will necessarily
have to be very judicious and discreet
in handling the rod or she will lose him
even after getting him on the hook.
Habits—pretty good, an after supper
cigar and a bottle of imported "Kaiser”
with his friends, Me and Doc, being
about the extent of his "sins.”
A.jL\jiua, diuuuj iiiiu ii'illlUlU ill lii|
times, about 35 summers, a great smoker
but will reform if tenderly Itaudled. Is
ready for the sacrifice, but will not jump
at the first offer by any means, lias had
offers the lust four ieap years and de
clined. His b. 1. a. is rather of an in
ducement as it drived away dull care.
Dr. P. C. Corrigan is the dandy dude
of ’em all, the enemy of the men and to
the women an enigma unsol vable. Great
care must be exercised in popping,as the
slick doctor is easily frightened. A
good plan would be to make the declar
ation to his phonograph, and then when
the doc. gets it in the cool of the morn
ing, it will not paralyize his nerve, and
if couched in language sufficiently ele
gaut acceptance is liable to follow.
Habits good; age anywhere from 35 to
40 years. [The above has got to go, al
though the doctorhas just returned from
an eastern trip with a wife ]
Jake Hershlser,Corrigan's right bower,
is worthy of any of the girls, and the
only chance to make a Benedict out of
him will be during leap year, as he is ex
tremely modest, but as he also is oblig
ing it will be hard work for him to re
fuse. Neither smokes, chews or drinks;
age about 35 years; finances in good
shape. Call at the store some noon
hour when Doc is at dinner, take Jake
confidentially down back of the prercrip
tion case as innocently as though you
wanted an ounce of frumenti or an
Alcock porous plaster, and then ask the
question plump and fair. In his surprise
he cannot refuse.
Clyde Kiug, the Kid, slick, sleek and
slim, affects a surfeit of female adoration
but withal is susceptible if properly ap
proaehed. Feed him taffy to start on.
H. H. Dickson, the warm-haired dis
ciple of Blackstone, young in years but
old in sin—no, not sin, experience we
mean—has it in I.im to be a magnifi
cent family man, providing some attract
ive woman can coax him to take time to
have the knot tied. Chews a little,
drinks ditto, rustles a lot, and will be
rich, very rich, when he realizes on his
Hot Springs property. Easily ap
proached, cannot be frightened, and will
say no emphatically if not suited. A
good subject to practice on.
John Weekes, about 25 years, no bad
habits mentionable, in good condition
and a prime article for ahusband. You
must catch him out of the treasurer’s
office, take him to some secluded place
without exciting his suspicion that it is
not politics, be very confidental, smile
sweetly, look lovingly, propose modestly
and then t'13 chances are you will—be
refused.
John Hazelet—well, now girls, here is
a good boy, if he is red-headed, age 25
winters and 24 summers, no bad habits
to particularize, very easily aifected by
female influences, but we opine will
fight shy of entangling alliances. Han
dle him quietly and get him pledged
before he realizes the situation.
John McHugh, though comparitively
a new comer,has a presence in the bank,
on the street and at the terpsichorean
festivals which causes the average citi
zen, particularly citizens of the female
persuasion, to conclude that he would
be a desirable catch indeed, and he is
the subject cf many admiring glances.
Age two dozen and two; habits good.
A nic* girl with financial prospects will
capture him—sometime—perhaps.
Frank Mann, in the language of one
of The Fuontieb’s lady friends, “is the
most facinating creature alive." He has
a faculty of adapting himself to all cir
cumstances, no matter how perplexing,
and is perfectly at home either in a dress
suit and frilled shirt, or cowboy ^pants
and a revolver. Frank is not only a
very gallant youth, but has it in him to
make a successful business man. He is
out to Spencer just now—and, say—that
wouldn’t be a bad place to go to begin
operation. Its a trifle lonely there, and
the matter could be more easily adjusted.
Our advice is to take a carrage and pro
ceed to Spencer at once. [A bird which
just flew through the broken glass In
our office iloor, says that the candidate
is pledged. and its no use to attempt to
break tho Iron bond oath.] This is sad.
Dr. C. A. Wells, so much of a
chum of McHugh's that ho sleeps In
his bed, drinks big—water, wears Ids
clothes, uses his toothbrush, reads his
lovo letters, counts his chips, stacks hlsi
cards, and calls him "Canada Jack,'' is a
sporty brunetto of so pronounced a type
that Prof, llnzelet insists that ho is an
Ethiopian from darkest Africa, or at
least is a Florida refugee, 80 years old,
good habits aside from gum chewing
and cubeb smoking, and would mako a
sweet hubby, as is evtdoneed from his
gallantry toward all females, especially
pretty ones. Tho girl who captures the
Doc must have music in her soul, love
in her heart and gold in her teeth.
Will Adams, young enough to be
manageable, sweet enough to be lovable,
and long enough to be useful, needs
only to be asked. The proper way is to
"wheel 'inlo his good graces and thus tap
his nice little bank account.
Pat aud Jim, brothers McManus, are
among the most eligible, and it 1s a
shame to permit them to hide their light
under a bushel or wasto their sweetness
on tho desert air, although Jim is not
doing that sort of thing to any alarming
extent. Pat, however, is fancy free,
handsome as a god (with a little g you
notice) and just about the right ago to
start on the matrimonial voyage in
proper shapo and steer clear of all
breakers.
Jesse Mcllor, our lean aud lank,
though withal handsome, generalissimo
of the city transfer line, is a subject
worthy of the cnreful consideration of
the girls. Age a score and a quarter,
habits most exemplary, barring an in
ordinate and uncontrollable passion for
fan-tan, and—say, when it comes to
hearts be discounts all the hoys—we
mean that he avoids capturing hearts
with surprising success, and unless some
bewitching girl places her heart on a
silver dollar and presents it to him
draped with a five dollar bill she wil
get left. And don’t forget to praise the
mules.
Levi Hershiser is too attentive to busi
ness perhaps to be popular with the
young folks, because ho always keeps
liidMights brightly burning, which is not
conducive to unalloyed and successful
courtship. However wo are inclined to
think he would break the circuit if it
..would result in a “pop.”
Homer Garrctson, the electrician and
engineer, is a smooth article just of age,
and if the conditions art) right and all
connections properly made, insulations
perfect, no wet blankets on his dynamo,
is capable of switching on a shock when
the proposal is made that will plcasantlty
electrify the lieait of the proposco
and culminate in the most burning love,
and light with effulgence all their walks
of life.
Dick Dwyer and Tim Hanley, the
twins of Sullivan's trade palace, are a
pair of eligibles not to be sneezed at.
They are susceptible, too, and beiug
much sought after it is necessary to
make advances early in the season, as
they are bound to go in ’93. Combined
age just fifty-two and a half; habits good
complexion a trifle dark, nationality
Italian.
r,a. uraay is a jewel or the first water,
attentive to business, affable and sun
tempered, ago about 28 years, and as the
best things are dono up in small pack
ages, the girl who gets Ed. can rest as
sured she has drawn a capital prize.
Prospects, a good business and a mine
in tho black hills.
Will Blair is lightning itself either at
the depot or in society, and will soon be
taken out of the list if appearances are
not deceptive. Age about a quarter of
a century and habits good.
Jamils Cavanaugh, whose tastes and
accomplishments would suit the most
fastidious; is about 25, genial, sociable
and with plenty of first-class, unadulter
ated Irish wit. The head of the family of
which James is an honored member has
a most cnviabio reputation us a
humorist, and the son in this case has
inherited much of the old gentleman's
genius. Jiiu is what might be termed
a "good catch,” but the catcher must
necessarily exercise considerable calm
deliberation when the time comes to
apply the bait. Therefore, the writer
would caution the fair ones to go easy
and not break into the mystic charm 'of
bachelorhood too suddenly in this case.
Gene Norton is young, but so far as
known has not beenf taken in. A few
smiles, liberally bestowed at certain in
tervals, would do for a starter, and then
it would be advisable to drop a pair of
gloves or a necktie in his path. A short,
ride into the country or a moonlight
stroll on the bridge would finish the
business for Gene. [N. B.—The only
point against the subject is that he hails
from Niobrara.]
Otto Miltz, whose name is an indi
cation of his nationality—and the nat
ionality is O. K.—is a quiet, orderly
young man who has a good start in the
cigar business, and who would be able
to blow beautiful ringlets of pure bnv
ana happiness around the fireplace of a
modest, humble home—the humbler the
better. Age, not given in the lan cen
sus. Red moustache—but that could be
amputated.
And there’s Sammy Thompson—who
could object to Sam? An extraordinary
good helpmate, Sam would make, for he
is a first-class cook and is able to got up
a dish of oysters or fry an egg to a turn
without burning his fingers or swearing.
Hns a good start in business, and is en
dowed with n first-class varietv . of
hustle. A Nebraska boy, nge 88, and
hair n delccate brown. Has made do
doratory statement to the effect that he
will establish a mustache, the one he
has being the outgrowth of the filing of
Jirstmipers._
MlUe Hayer, age amnintToifflll^^ff
known, says be Is not in It at all, but ns
ho Is reported to have a sock full of
rocks bid away somewhere he should be
looked after.
Pat nnd Jack Mullen are the pink of
tho Mullen family, nnd as they are much
nought after since coming to town they
(ire bound to go off soon. Get right
after 'em if you don't want to get left.
Ilarvy Bontly Is about the right age to
think about It now rather seriously, and
there is no doubt but a hitch-up could
be effected. Handle gently.
Will McNichols, age 32, habits out of
sight, can be reached best when on his
rounds with the delivery wagon. Meet
him at the kitchen door and when he
works you for n grocery ordor you work
him for his heart and hand.
Arthur Coykendall—Taken,measured,
wrapped up and labeled with a precau
tionary not to “handlo with care.” No
bidders need apply,
liomaine Saunders, Tim Faontikk’s
handsome job'printer, has a well devel
oped nmbition to be a historian,but bj| a
little persuasion could be Induced to
tuko to matrimony instead. No bail
habits at all, except smoking. Age 22,
mustache and light hair has a 8 year
old colt, and a buggy bargained for.
Printers always make good husbands,
and Uomninc is no exception to the gen
eral rule. Apply at the side door after
office hours.
i ue iNewen uoys although new comers
suould not be counted out on that score.
They are manly, ambitious young men,
ages 21 aud 10 respectively, and with *
leaning toward athletics, but by that
torm wo do not mean brutish prize fight
ing, but legitimate sport and gymnastics.
They are from Grand Island, and are
city bred: gentlemanly, polite, with faci
noting eyes and hair curled with n pitch
fork.
And tliero are the two Gibbons boys—
Miles and Pat. Pat lives most of the
time at Spencer, but that should not go
ngaiust him. Of course not, who said
it would? Spencer is not a bad place.
Sanford Parker and Sumner Adams live
there. Pat is able to hoe his own row.
Has a strong fascination for turkey
shoots and railles, but is a rustler. Miles
is n young man after his father’s own
heart, and is so proud of the city ol
O'Neill and so much taken up with her
cliarmsjthat nothing will induce him to
stay away. Not even the chance of se
curing a diploma from ft celebrated col
lege would induce him to-remain away.
Handle Miles tenderly, drop a hint or
two unobserved, and the path is clear.
M. D. Long, the little Phil Sheridan
of Holt county in the days of auld lung
sine, when he was clerk and Flannagnn
Pitney and Townsend were commission
ers, isstill in the ring.refumlgated.rcnov
ated, rectified, restored aud rebuilt by
the famous Keeley cure (institute at
O'Neill) will make some woman a splen
did hubby. We desire to help Mike
out right here. He says that the
Keeley treatment fora time impairs the
memory, that be is under the impiession
he was engaged to some lady, but when
be returned home he couldn’t remember
who it was. Will the lady please take
pity on Mike’s unfortunate condition
and put him right. Age 36 years, habits
good, you bet, nationality French with
a very slight mixture of Irish.
H. K. Murphy, the alliance orator and
fine political schemer, is a couple of
dozen years of age, and also essays to
act on the stage and practice luw. He
is on the market and swears that he will
accept the first offer. Now', don't all
speak at once.
Jim Harrington is all right, but he Is
spoken for, so no need to tantalize the
girls be enumerating his virtues.
Pat Biglin, the dextrous mixologist,
age 20, can be caught first rattle out of
the box if approached right. Praise bis
dog,admire his—Pit's—phiz and phys
ique, flatter his picture in the cigar case
—we mean Pat’s, not the dog’s picture,
and then set ’em up to the house.
Ed E. Evans, the quarter of a cen
tury plant that blooms in the bank base
ment, and essays the role of farmer
editor, is irrevocably pledged, and there
is no use of the girls wasting time on
him. He will make a good husband,
however, and if you have uerve wade in
and break the combination,
RoscoeConkling, at this day and date
the only living Roscoe, has we under
stand re-entered the ranks of eligibles
for this season only. Age uncertain;
the habits and address of a genial
gentleman.
M. P. Kinkaid, our worthy district
judge, while last on our list is by no
means least In the lottery of matrimony.
He is a trifle particular to be sure, but
he is a courteous, dignified gentleman,
whose affable ways subdue the storms of
political passion and prejudice incident
to man, and it is reasonable to suppose
with the opposite sex he could, should
and will in time be as successful, unless
leap year privileges result favorably.
lie Is wary hoWover and muat be ha!
led with care. It will take time tomati
the victory sure, but the prize la woith
the effort. Age a little abort of forty,
habits the beat, a big bank account, and
an honorable position.
This Hit has grown lengthy for one
write-up, and so we will qjose it, with
this admonition to the ladies: ,
trade in.
And if at first you don’t succeed try,
try again.
'I here was a genuine surprise party at
the Cavanaugh residence last Thursday
evening. The party as orlglonally
planned was to be a surprise on Miss
Lizzie, but a day or so before the time
set, some of James’ friends took the
matter in hands and the result was a
general surprise‘ on the entire house*
hold. Twenty-sis couples participated
in the entertainment, and games con
sisting of cards, checkers and chess,
were indulged In. The carpet eras taken
off one of the larger rooms and the
merry crowd danoed until a late hour.
Daniel Davis and Hank Mills furnished

HIS WORD FOR IT.
An Artesian Vail Expert Say* we Kay Xm
A Wall Tat.
Mr. M. Halit an artesian wall expert
from Bt. Paul, was in O’Neill aeveral daya
last week, coming in lest Saturday even
ing. Ilu wan sent here to make a thorough
examination of the well and to ascertain
if it were possible to get the pipe aud
drill, that are now lodged in the “hole,”
out, and by that means prooeed with the
work of boring. Mr. Hall has completed
his inspection and states positively that
he will be able to get the tools out of the
ground aud soon linvo things in shape for
the men to prooeed with the work. He
went to Sioux City Monday to arrange to
have the necessary mnohinery sent on at
OllCO.
This will indeed be gratifying news to
the people of O'Neill, whoso patience has
been stretched to the limit in this oaae.
lu conversation with Mr. W. T. Evans'
concerning the well, Mr. Hall said: “There
is no reason for being discouraged at the
condition of affairs. With proper machin
ery on the ground—and I will have it
here in n few days—I will soon be able 'to
shape things so the men can prooeed at
onoe. There is also every reason to hope
for a flow with as great a capacity for pro
ducing power as the well at Niobrara.
I don’t, think it will bo necessary to go
down more than 100 feet before the water
will spent forth.”
Artesian well stock will take a shoot up
in the air if these predictions are found
to be reliablo. Wait for O’Neill’s artesian
well.

gan started for a trip'east, presumably
on business, and not ono of his most
intimate friends had any knowledge of
the fact that his mission on this journey
was to take that important step In the
career of every man's life, when he
joins heart and hands with the woman of
his choice.
Miss Bridget Nulty, who will now be
known to O'Neill people as Mrs. Dr.
Corrigan, is one of Monroe’s fairest
daughters and brings with her to her
western home the well wishes of a host

married in Monroe last week and im
mediately started for O'Neill, arriving
Friday night last. They at once began
house-keeping in the Barney Mullen
cottage in the western part of town,
and have settled down to the enjoy
ment of a quiet life.
The Frontier joins the many friends
of Dr. Corrigan in extending a hearty
welcome to his charming wife, and
wishes them a pleasant journey through
life.
