Rev. Wilson is holding a series of re
vival meetings at the M. E. church this
week. The attendance is quite large
and he has hopes of doing a great
amount of good for the church and
church work. He wishes The Fhontiek
to extend a cordial invitation to every
body to attend.
Dr. Wells was in Norfolk and attend
ed the traveling mens minstral enter
tainment at the opera house last Satin
day night. He says the commercial
boys gave a refined show, which was
well patronized by the people of Nor
folk. We understand they wilfgive an
entertainment of a like nature in O’Neill
in a tew weeks.
Will Lowric entertained ii few friends
Tuesdry evening who gathered at his

sary of his advent into this world.
Those present were: Misses Leino La

and Messrs Lloyd Gillespie, A1 Evans
and Homer Newell.
. The Episcopalian sociable last Fliday
evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Will J. Dobbs was attended by quite a
large number of young people. A very
pleasant time is reported. Supper was

usual pleasant manner.

Demonstrator, the handsome Harable
toniau stallion formerly owned by Edgar
Thoidpson and sold by him to a gentle
man in Little Rock, Ark., was brought
back to O’Neill last week and will be
taken care of and worked this season by
Mr. Thompson, who still retains ail in
terest in the horse. He is a magnificent
specimen of horseflesh and under Ed’s
skillful care will be brought to the front
very quickly.
Barney Mulleu came up from Omaha
Sunday evening, stopping over in O’Neill
and going west to Hot Springs Monday
evening. Mr. Mullen has from seventy
five to a hundred men at work on a
large five story building at that point,
and also has the contract for putting up
an immense bath house this summer.
The Frontier is pleased to see one of
O’Neill’s prominent citizens getting to
the front like this.
There is no dangor from whooping
cough when Ohamberlain’s cough rem
edy is freely given. It liquefies the
tough, tenacious mucus and aids in its
expectoration. It also lessens the sever
ity and frequency of the paroxysms of
coughing, and insures a speedy recovery.
There is not the least danger in giving
it to children or babies, as it contains no
injurious substance. 50 cent bottles

About twenty married couple congre
gated at the residence of John Dwyer,
in the northern part of this city, on last
Monday evening, and a very enjoyable
time was had by all. This was strictly
an old folks’ party, and the way they
danced clogs, jigs and “break-downs”
made many of them think of their
younger days. About 2 o'clock they all
departed for home after having passed a
very pleasant evening,
The Frontier has lately seen a copy
of a new book entitled “Pioneer Heroes
and their Daring Deeds,” which will be
put on the market in O’Neill soon. The
book is accurate as to data and is inter
esting and at times thrilling. Among
the features may be found the exploits
of American border heroes and heroines,
stories of Indians, outlaws and wild
beasts, from the earliest times to the
present. Also a history of the lives of
DeSoto, Standish. Boone, Kenton.
Crockett, Carson, Custer, Comstock, etc.
Mr. Robert B. Loucks, father of Ben
and Ed. Loucks, living near Inman,
died very suddenly last Synday morning,
having been sink only a day or two. His
illness was thought to be only a slight
attack of la grippe and the family had
hopes that be would soon recover.
Sunday morning he became suddenly
worse and died before they had time to
realize his condition. Mr. Loucks was
a respected old gentlemau, a plasterer by
trade, and has lived in Holt county for
a namber of years. The funeral ser
vices were held at Inman Tuesday. The
Frontier extends sympathy to the be
reaved family.
POLITICAL
PERSECUTION
That's just wbat it looks like, and if
you are close enough, that’s exactly what
it smells like.
The supervisors of Ilolt county liavo
been in session several days. Tint
Frontier will not attempt to givo the
regular proceedings of the board, but
will tell its readers what a certain fac
tion of the board is doing. It will be
remembered that at the last meeting a
committee was appointed to examine the
books of the treasurer anti count the
cash and make a report at this meeting.
The committee made its report, whicii
was as follows:
O’NKILL, Nan., Feb. St. 1882.
Wo, your committee on scttMfllcnt. consist*
ing ot T. V. Golden, Joliu OraWford and H.
Millor present, mot as per agreement In thu
treasurer's oltico and found us follows:
Currency.*51,385.00
Cold. . 5,000.00
Silver.. 3. <4
Receipts from state treasurer. 808.00
Total. 70,707.04
This, the committee states, is iu ac
cornance with the settlement of Fob. 7,
1893. Tlie board adopted 1 lie report and
tbe committee was discharged.
Immediately the following resolution
was read:
Wiiekeas, It has been reported that
the money that was counted on Feb. 24.
1892, by the committee on settlement
has been removed from the vaults of the
treasury; therefore be it
Resolved, That there be a committee
appointed by the chair to recount thu
motley now in the treasurer’s office and
report to the board.
(Signed) D. G. Hull.
Upon motion the resolution was
amended to have the committee consist
of the entire board, which carried, the
alliance faction voting as one man.
Think of it tav-payers, the entire board
to count the money in the treasury!
A committee was appointed to inter
view Mr. Scott and ask him whether he
would bring the money into the county
j udge’s office, where tbe board was in
session, or whether he would have them
come into his vault and count it. Mr.
Scott replied that he did not wish to do
either. The opinion of the county at
torney was called for on the question as
to whether they had a righi to count the
money, and Mr. Scott’s position was
sustained by that gentlemen. Mr. Scott
holds, and The Frontier thinks rightly,
that all the members have no right to go
ioto the vault and count the money.
They apoointed a committee to settle
with the treasurer, the committee re
ported and the report was accepted and
adopted and the new bond of the treas
urer approved.
Hut it is apparent that there is a fac
tion of the board determined to perse
cute the officer, and they are acting as
a unit in that direction. The next
move they made was to have an outside
alliance man, one John Hopkins, a
leader, begin impeachment proceedings
against Scott, making a long list of
charges. This was Wednesday morn
ing and they gave him until 1 o’clock
to appenr and show cause, etc. Mr.
Scott’s attorneys, Messrs. Dickson and
Uttley, appealed and asked for a contin
uance until this morning at 9. The fac
tion was not disposed to grant even that
much at first, but finally did so.
today’s work.
lush-ici court tiaa to oe adjourned
this morning, in order that they might
use the court room. Several important
cases were on hand, but the court’s busi
ness had to be called off, and the wit
nesses and jurors-twenty-four of them
are loafing today at the county’s expense.
All concerned appeared this morning
and the “faction” proceeded to deal out
what they call justice, but what in the
writer’s opinion is the rankest kind of
persecution. Why do we think so, you
may ask? The eighteen alliance mem
bers, advised and instructed b.v Messrs,
llarrington and Murphy, stop every at
tempt on the part of Mr.Scott’s attorney
to get even a fair trial. The board sits
as a court and the "faction” has a tiia
jority. We will cite an incident to
prove that there is no justice in it:
Scott’s counsel tiled a ^notion objecting
to the supervisors conversing with the
attorneys during the trial, which was
promptly voted down, and the attorneys
for Hopkins call upon and instruct their
friends on the board to make motions
and carry tnem. Is there any justice
there.
The trial is proceeding slowly: At
this hour—3 o’clock—Mr. Hagerty is on
the stand.
During the trial every time Mr. Scott’s
attorneys object to the introduction of
certain testimony, Cord Smith appears
with a motion to overrule the objection
and over she goes. They have the re
quired number of votes, and they stay
by the leaders like chicks around a hen.
Smith is on the stand at this writing—
<1:30 o’clocu. ,
It is very evident that this scheme has
been on tap for some time, and that
Hopkins is only used as a tool.
CIRCULATED FALSE REPORTS.
A report was circulated in Chambers
last week that the treasurer was short
$10,000, and Tue Frontier will under
take to hunt down the man who started
it and publicly brand him a liar.
The false report was carried to Keligh
by a member of the examining board,
whose name we will also lind out, and
we offer the following clipped from the
Neligh Tribune, a strong alliance paper,
to substantiate jur statement:
It Is reported that Uarrett Scott, treasurer
of Holt county. Is short In his accounts. A
committee of the county board finished an
examlnatIon of his accounts last week and
found a shorUiRC of W3,1)110. Ho claims It Is
In the banks and was Riven ton days In which
to produce it. This comes from on* of the
examining commtttno.but it Is to lio hoped ho
can place Ills hand on tho amount wl thin the
sped lied time.
At 5 o'clock tho plaintiff rested, anil
an adjournment was tnkcu uutll
tomorrow at 0 o'clock.
The Commercial Drummer.
Last Friday night the Aendemy Dra
matic company presented tho “Commer
cial Drummer” to a hundred dollar houco.
The audience anticipated something
good and they wero not in the least dis
appointed. Mr. Tom Uoldon was master
of ceremonies and under his directions
and advice amateurs achcived prollceiucy

O’Neill has for the past two or three
years lost considerable trade from the
surrounding country by reason of the
fact that there was no mill here. Tins
Fhontieh is pleased to state, in this
connection, that with a little encour
agtment from tho business meD, a thirty
five barrel mill can bo secured. Mr.
Joseph Bringier, of Deloit, was in town
Tuesday looking up tho matter. He
has been living in Holt county for ten
years and has accumulated considerable
property, lie lias a deal on hand just
now to trade some of his land for ma
chinery of eastern parties, the number
of acres included being near 400. >lr.
Briniger is a practical miller, a hard
working german, and Tim Fkontikb
believes will make a success of the mill.
He says he has encouragement from the
farmers'in this section of the county.
They want to trade in O’Neill but arc
compelled to go where they can get their
grain ground. Neiigh is tho nearest
point for them and there they go. This
is a chance O’Neill should not let slip,
and when their man comes around the
proper thing to dc will be to give him a
small donation. He doesn't want much
and the amount that was tulkcd of
Tuesday couid bo raised in half day.
He will be in O’Neill soon again, when
he hopes to be ready to talk business.
The mill which this man proposes to
build will have a capacity of thirty-five
barrels per day, which is plenty large
enough for this point.
Mrs. AV, D. Mathews and Mrs.' Will
Dobbs planned a surprise party upon
Mr. Mathews for Tuesday evening of
this week and invited a number of
friends to repulr to the Mathews man
sion and catch the doctor with bis boots
off, so to speak. The affair went lovely
aud the guests gathered at the appointed
hour. They found the house brilliantly
lighted and Mrs. Matbews on band to
receive, but the doctor, oh. where was
he? Over the telephone came a familiar
voice, “I am onto the whole scheme and
will bo home some time during the even
ing.” Home fiend in human form had
given the whole affair away. This was
a corker, but the company nevertheless
did not let that mar the pleasures of the
evening, as they were hospitably enter
tained bv Mrs. Mathews, and W. D.,
who glided noislessly in about 1:10, and
assisted in the festivities. High-five
was played until 11 o’clock, and an
elaborate lunch followed. The prizes
were taken as follows: Gentleman’s
first, Frank Mann; lady's first, Mrs.
W. T. Evans; the two lesser prizes go
ing to S. J. Weekes and Mitfs Mazie
Darr.
The friends of Mr. aud Mrs. Mose
Campbell got together Wednesday even
ing of last week aud surprised them to
the queens taste. There were perhaps
thirty ladies and gentlemen in attend
ance, and they passed the evening hours
away pleasantly, partaking of an elegant
lunch at the close. The feature of the
evening’s enjoyment, however, was the
fact that the company went in so sud
denly that they caught Mr. Campbell
with his shoes off. his feet comfortably
restiug on the top round round of the
stove pipe,his trusty cob-pipe in his
mouth and enjoying himself to his
heart’s content. The surprise upon the
entire family was complete, and it is
certain that those present had an agree
able time. The party was planned and
carried out by Mrs. Frank and Tkos.
Campbell.
Some time ago the O’Neill Are com
pany ordered a fire bell from the east
and it arrived by freight Monday after
noon. It weighs 1,100 pounds and cost,
list price. $225. By paying cash, which
the company was amply able to do, a
liberal discount was taken advantage of.
The city council has decided to build a
lower for the bell and work has already
been commenced. It will stand directly
over the city scale bouse aud will be
very convenient. The Fito.vriKit con
[ gratulntes the fire company and also
commends the good judgment of the
council in its decision to build the towel
at once. _

SCATTERING CHIPS FROM NEIGHBORING
WOODPILES.
Atkinson Grapblo: If tbo Keeley In
stitute at O’Neill meets with the success
anticipated, who will furnish the elixir
for the next campaign in the rural dis
tricts?
Ewing Democrat: Gene Cress, rep
resenting the Keeley institute of O'Neill
was in Ewing yesterday. After looking
around for awhile he was fully convinced
that it would be a waste of time in try
ing to And a victim among the sober,
industrious citizens of our lively little
town.
Unite Danner: A. O. Perry made a
business trip to Atkinson Tuesday. In '
crossing the Niobrara the Ice broke and
Perry and team took a ducking. He
look it very oool, that Is, what was in
his off side overcoat pocket, and waded
ashore, got help and had himself rescued
from a watery grnve.
Butte Banner: It. II. Mills and An
drew Little, of O'Neill were over with
lumber for Bartow last week. They
were surprlred at Butte, suppose
Ing it to bo only a small town with lots
of “blow” behind It. Thais the way it
goes. A man comes here a skeptlo, and
gous away a boomer.
Atkinson Graphic: Many will learn
with sincero regrot the sad news of the
denth of Mrs. Geo. Staples (nee, Mattie
McFarland,) which occurod in Omaha,
Jnn. 23. The cause of her demise was
diphtheria. Mrs. Staples will be remem
bered as a school teacher in this section
for some time, possessed of rare accom
plishments and an exceedingly affable
disposition.
Atkinson Graphic: Tho democrats
in this nock of woods are cursing Hill
with a vengeance that bodes that par
tisan pirate no good. They swear by
the hollowed memory of Jefferson and
Jackson, if that arrogant would-be par
tisau dictator is nominated at Chicago,
the democratic state central committee,
of Nebraska, will have to make an affi
davit, after election, that he was a can
didate as the vote will fall to show it.
Madison Chronicle: 'Vo understand
there is a movement on foot to introduce
dumb bells for the use of tho young ladies
of the higher department of our public
schools. It is all right for young ladies
to have plenty of exorcise, but after
school hours and before school calls in
the morning if they would pitch in and
help their mothers exercise the wash
board, manipulate the broom-handle
and agitate tho bedding it would be
more sensible, give them sufficient ex
ercise and tit them to preside over a
home of their own some day.
Ewing Dcmocrnt: A rumor reaches
us that a free for all light took place out .»
in Deloit township last Monday, in which
Mike Brady is reported to have whipped
live men single handed. Among the
vanquished were Sandy McCarthy.
