Dave Adams has been on the sick list

Tom Goldon has returned from his
business trip to Colorado.
A short communication from J. C.

procedure as suggestive and leading and
no proper foundation laid.
The O’Neill Sun last week purchased
the Prouty power press and Paragon
paper cutter formerly in the office of
the Item. Charlie now has u well
equipped office. By the wuy the Fron
tier Printing Company has one or two
hundred fonts of type, a Little Giant
lead cutter, Mustang mailer and other
material that is for sale very cheap.
Write them for paticuiars.
The Bee, of last night had a big sen
sational article about the poor settlers
around O’Neill being robbed by land
Bharks. The whole story seems to be
without foundation and probably grew
out of the Boyd county school laud bus
iness. School land was reserved on the
strip, and afterwards thrown open for
settlement unexpectedly and a “Kid
glove outfit” from Omaha and towns
along the Short Line came up and filed
on it. Contrary to the Bee's report wo
don’t think any blood will be shed.
Mr. Charles Ferrier, of Chambers, and
Miss Abbv Kimblade, of Mt. Ayer,Iowa,
were married last week in Mt. Ayer, at
the home of the bride's parents. They
arrived in O’Neill Tuesday evening and
were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. V.
Golden until Wennesday afternoon,
when they went down to Chambers,their
future home. Mrs. Ferrier i» an ac
quaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Golden,
having attended school in districts where
they' taught in southern Iowa several
years ago. Charlie Ferrier is one of the
best citizens of southern Holt, and is an
honorable, upright young man who will
make a success in any line of business
which he undertakes. The Frontier
wishes Air. and Mrs. Ferrier a happy
and prosperous journey through life.
Dave Dftrr is now thoroughly convin
ced that an ad. is a source of profit to
the advertiser. His conversion hap
pened in this wise: Last week he han
ded us a little 3-line, local—farm for
rent—aud in less than 24 hours after
the paper was out a man walked into
the bank saying: “I see by Tint Fitox
tieu you have a farm for rent, and I
want to lease it.” But the best joke of
the whole affair was that the ad. was
so small Dave could not find it in the
paper and had just been down cussing
the foreman a little for leaving it out.
The moral to this little incident is plain.
If you have anything to say to the
people say it through the columns of
The Frontier. We have the largest
bou a fide subscription in this part of
the state and our rates are reasonable.
James McDonald, the restaurant man
late of Chicago, intends visiting O’Neill
the latter part of this week or the fore
part of next anij writes us to make an
announcement of the object of his
business. We know of no better way
to do it than to extract a paragraph
from his letter: “I own some lots and
houses in O’Neill, also a quarter section
of land four miles west of town. I de
sire to do some business with anyone
there feeling so disposed. Anybody
wishing to buy of me may do so on
almost any terms. Can have all the
time to pay that may be required. I
will sell any parcel of property I own
cheap enough to make it an object to a
purchaser to buy of me. I am abla to
give very easy terms. I shall not push
a man if he shall get behind in a pay

When engineers Neenan, Knowles and
Crane were discharged from the Short
Line without cause a committee asked
for the management’s reason. Mr. Hills,
the great railroad magnate of Sioux City
informed them he would listen to no
committee from any brotherhood or
lodge, aD insinuation that the Short
Line and Northern would do as they saw
fit and that settled it. How changed
things are at this date. Last Monday
Grand Master Arthur of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers called on
Mr. Hills with the discharged engineers
by his side and demanded that Messrs.
Neenan and Knowles be reinstated in
good standing. Mr. Hills together with
bis assistants bowed gracefully and ad
mitted the gentlemen, and after a few
hours’ talk they submitted and granted
the request, and today the Brotherhood
is on top.—South Sioux City Times.
J W. Thomas returned to his present
home, at O’Neill, last Friday evening.
During the two years that Mr. Thomas
was a resident of Rusliville lie made a
host of friends here, both in business
and socially. He is possessed with' a
great amount of personal magnetism,
and this coupled with strict honesty and
good business qualifications abundantly
titsjiira for the position he holds with
the Rochester Loan & Banking Com
pany. of Rochester, N. H. The com
pany has recognized his true merit and
made him general manager over all their
western business, with his home at
O'Neill, Nebraska. He is also president
of the company’s bank at O’Neill. The
Standard need not say it regrets his
leaving Rushyillc. as this is generally
understood in connection with all lirst
class citizens. However he retains his
interest in the First National here and
will make frequent visits to this place.
—Rusliville Standard.
When we said last week that “B. A.
[)eYarman returned from Missouri Wed
lesday evening," we did not know thal
to had brought with him a highbred
dambletonian 4-year old. He was pur
:hased of L. E. Clement, of Pierce City,
Miss., who savs in a letter to the Rural
tVorld, under date of the 10th lust:
‘l have sold to B. A. DeYnrman, of
D'Neill, Nebraska. Cormorant 11,030,
he highest priced and best horse that
:ver left south-west Missouri, and nl
.liougli ouly four-years-ojd and unkuowu
;o fame and turf records, 1 expect to see
lint a rival in the stud to Lobasco or any
>ther horse ever taken into Nebraska.
Liis sire, Herscbel, is only eignt years old
ind has three on the 2:30 list. Budd
Doble will handle Prince Uerschel in
1302, aud he is expected to beat 2:20.
Neva Seeley has a record of 2:201, und
sntered the 2:30 list us a three -year-old.
Herscbel has never been developed, but
ids owuer is eontldent that lie will have
three in the 2:20 list before he is ten
years old, and not less than eight or
nine in the 2:30 list. . Cormorant's dam
:s a full sister to Beauty 2:28 by Blue
Bull, a mare thut for eight years has
been a winner against all kinds of fields.”
O'Neill will soon have a reputation as
the home ot high-bred horses ilnd such
>i reputation is worth bags of money to
the city and county. It is a shame and
a sad commentary on the enterprise of
out-progressive little city that the citizens
do not build a race course. O'Neill has
a horse or two that can get over n
mile track ns fast as any horse in the
state and there is not even a track that
is safe to work them on. Other towns
have offered large bonuses to horsemen
to build tracks and operate them and
there is no reason why O’Neill should
not do the same. Half the money -that
wi.s »unk in the nrtesian well or that in
vested in the Keeley institute would
build a first-class track. While the
profit to the stock holders might not be
as large as in the Institute, the financial
profit to the town would be ten-fold
greater. This question should receive a
little agitation.
The traveling men made Rome howl
Friday night and Saturday. They are
a sporty lot of boys and assisted by
local talent appeared to enjoy them
selves in O'Neill. Wells accidentally
received a black eye and it is said King
likened unto “Liberty Enlightening the
World” as be rode away on top of the
’bus.
KEELEY COCK-TAILS.
Dope !
Shot time !
The skeptics are no longer skeptical.
The “gang” had a photo taken Tues
day.
The club listened to some well-timed
remarks by T. V. Golden last Sunday
evening.
John Golden, George Merritt. August
Musaiggmnnn and Will Cowie graduated
this week.
The ••hoys" are under obligations to
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Matthews for a nice
basket of popcorn.
Jo Miller is no longer a disbeliever in
the Keeley cure. Jo and his “jag” have
had a falling out.
Among the visitors from abroad this
week were Atlee Hart, of the Dakota
City Eagle, and Ed Savidge, of South
Sioux City.
Henry Stetter has lost his appetite for
whisky, and says he has no idea where
nor bow, but he will make no effort to
find it,
Tommy Barrett, who has been wrest
ling with King Alcohol for the past few
years, says he has at last got the cinch
on the king and proposes to keep it.
Billy Cowie is confident that he will
be able to market a carload of cattle and
return to his home with the proceeds
since his graduation. Heretofore it was
quite different.
Jimmy O’Hanlon, now in his second
week of treatment, says that corn juice
isn’t to him what it “used to was.” It
now tastes to Jimmy worse than a poor
grade of soap suds.
Gus Mussiggman thinks the Keeley
cure “sliust wort a tousand dollars to
him or any Oder man who vos tam fool
enough to drink too much visky.” He
leaves this week for home, a cuied mun.
After several years’ trial at drinking
all the “booze” in O’Neill, Barney
Stewart says he has finally abandoned
all hope. Barney will dispose of all his
interests in salooon stocks next Wednes
day.
The treatment has made a new mac of
Charlie O’Neill, and he thinks it will be
a cold day when he again sits on the
sidewall: 'all night and sings “Little
Annie Rooney” to the mythical man in
the moon.
Donliam, the South Sioux City “jag,”
was in the city four days before he dis
covered that O’Neill was supplied with
electric lights. „ Now, however, he finds
it an easy matter to distinguish an elec
trie light tower from a church steeple,
and has no fear of another attack of the
“triangles.”
After the graduating exercises Tues
day evening, which were held at Masonic
hall, lunch was served at the club rooms
by several of the ladies of O’Neill who
are deeply interested in the success of
the institute, as well as every other move
calculated to promote the morals and
welfare of humanity, for which the
members of the B. C. of G. club desire
to return their most earnest thanks.
Dr. /Vilen started for O’Neill Wednes
day to take the B. C. of G. treatment.
The doctor is one of the best physicians
in the state, and his already large prac
tice will become much larger upon his
return.J. I*. Donbam. who has
held cases on the Argus for the past four
teen months, left the citv Saturday for
O’Neill, where he will take the Keeley
cure. J. L. is a good all-around news
paper man. and we bespeak for him a
bright future, as he is not only an adeht
at his profession, but he is a man among
men when he is himself.—South Sioux
City Argus.

C. OF S. CLUB
The First Open Meeting an Inter
esting Success.
GRADUATES FEEL JUBILANT
Speeches by President Golden, Col. Towle
' and Others.
The graduates of tho Keeloy Institute and
those hero taking treatment have organized
Branch No. JkI, of the Bl-Chlorldo of Gold
Club of tho World, with tho following mom
bora enrolled: T. V. Golden, E. II. Cress, M.
M. Sullivan, M. I). Long, O. U. O'Neill. W. 8.
Cowle, John A. Golden, Geo.; H. Merritt,

O’Han lun, J, L. Don ham, A. O. Allen, M. D.,
Scott Uouj^i, Henry Htetter, J. P. Miller, A,
B. Stratton,Thomas BnrrotJ.
Meetings are held every night in tho Kocley
club room, and at least once each week
exercises of some kind will takoplaco.
The mooting on Sunday ovenlng was very
interesting Indeed. Y, V. Golden was elected
president and M. I). Long secretary. The
remarks of tho president wore logical, sen
sible and eloquent, and excited tho most
favorable’comment from all present, par
ticularly from the patients. We hope tube
able to publish this spoach, which
is creditable alike to Golden’s brt.itn and
heart. Remarks were also made by Dr.
Trueblood and W. 1). Mathews, which were
applicable.
Tho president of the Kooley Institute per
sonally presented tho club with $10 as a
neuclus for a fund to aid lndlgeut persons
needing and willing to receive treatment.
The Gold Club Is In no way connected with
the institute, and us the .objects are simply
-of a social nature and to aid tho unfortunate
It should be encouraged by our citizens. If
you care to contribute to tho club fund you
can rely upon it that tho money will bo
placed where It will do the most good.
At this meeting it was decided to hold a
meeting at the Odd Fellow's hall on Tuesday
evening and the friends of tho club were In
vited to attend.
TUESDAY WIGHT’S MEETING
was held at the Masonlo hall and was quite
well attended, though not as generally as It
should have been, the short notice and un
pleasant weather being the reasons.
The programme as arranged was carried
out to the apparent patlsfactlon of all. The
music was furnished by Dr. Wells and Mrs.
llazelet, and as usual was most excellent.
The president of tho club, T. V, Golden,
spoke in an earnest mannor.commaudlng the
attention of tho audlonce from start to
(inish. We would bo pleased to publish the
full text of Mr. Golden’s address, but will
have to simply epitomize:
j,uuies .mu ueuiiemcu uuu mcmocrs m me
lii-Chlorido or GoldUlub of the World: Wo as
soiuble here this evening to listen to and
take a part in the graduating exercises of
the O’Neill Keeley Institute lor tho first time
and it becomes my pleasant duty to open the
exorcises. To say that I am proud of this
distinction is to express my feelings mildly.
I have belonged to various societies, civic
and military, fraternal and religious, and
will now say that 1 feel prouder of oelougintr
to this society than any other of which 1
claim or ever did claim membership. This
society,ladiesand gentleinen,is an extraordin
ary one.;It represents 5d,h00or more regenerat
ed and redeemed men; ftO.OUO men and women
redeemed from lives ofdrunnkoness,debauch
ery aua disgrace, and regenerated to lives of
usefulness, honor and respectability.
Graduates exercises wo call this meeting
tor want of a more appropriate mime, but
the name is fitting nevertheless.
Graduating in the ordinary application of
the term are young men and women who
have tilted themselves for the important
duties and realities of life and the graduate
of a Keeley institute Is one lW|io has, by the
treatment, eliminated from liiB system a
disease; a disease which was surely bring- .
ing him to disgracejand death, and has fitted
him by such treatment to begin again
with renewed vigor the work alloted to him
in the worid. The parent looks with pride
on his child as he leaves the university und
bui»ds castles in the air on their future pros
pects. The friends of the young man gather
around, congratulate and recongratulate
him upon his sublety of thought, masterful
oratory, wonderful perorations and thrilling
climaxes in the delivery of his valedictory.
The graduate of the Keeley institute re
ceives, too, the congratulations of his friends
not unmixed, however, with doubts and fore
bodings lor the future. It Is diiticult for the
graduate to convince his friends that the
treatment he hus taken will accomplish more
than all the resolutions, prayers, supplica
tions. promises and pledges made before. It
is difficult to explain that the change is
physical and not psychological. A graduate’s
reputation for veracity, be it ever so good,
is seriously put in question when he Informs
his friends that in three short weeks of treat
ment tho disease (or vice if you will) of
dipsomania lias been forever removed from
him. Notwithstuadiug this doubt and
scepticism there a* e tot^ay more than 10,U00
of these graduates, living examples and
animated monuments of the efficacy of the
Keeley treatment, and within the walls of
our little city wo have those who before
taking treatment had nearly or quite
abandoned themselves, who were looked
upon by the citizens as hopeless cases of
inebriety and who a year ago were consid
ered as certain to die the death of the drunk
ard as the sun was to rise hi tho east. The
physical change cume and today we see
everyone of those men sober and each an
ardent advocate of the treatment. It is
sometimes said that these men wno take tho
treatment and remain sober deserve credit.
Not so. With these men it was and Is a
method of self preservation for themselves
und their offspring, a faculty of the brain
possessed by all animal creation and the
animal which will not protect Itself and its
offspring from threatened death is very low
in the scale of creation. The graduate asks
no credit for liis acts, he only asks the char
ity of silence for bis "ast shortcomings and
a not too severe censure for his future acts in
endeavoring to reciitub the hill he so graceless
ly desended.
Now a tew words to the boys who today
graduate. You leave this institute with a
certificate of cure. You feel and know that
you are cured. You must remember, how
ever, that you are human and consequently
fallable. Tho records of the Keeley institute
dischtee tho larnontablo fact that live out of
every hundred return to drink. You should
alwas be fearful shut it is possible for you to
be included in fallen ones. In my opinion
that it is notneceesary to studiously avoid
temptation, but it would be the heigh of
folly, if not Indeed criminality, to Invite
tho tempter. Jn in a few days you will re
ceive a badge similar to the one worn on my
lapel. Remember this badge is worn by
some of the noblest of men. it Is worn by
men in nearly every hamlet in tho United
States and by men In all walks of life, the
clergy, the professional, the artisan und
laborer. Let not you be the one who wiil
disgrace this button. If the tempter should
approach look down upon you badge and say
to the tempter, “Get thee behind me Satan.”
In the absence of ltev. Father jCassldy, who
was to speak, Col. A. L. Towle Was pressed
Into service. The colonel Is patriotic, In fact
is always loaded, and as a substitute has no
equal In the state. No matter what the sub
ject or occasion may bo he is equal to the
emergency, und never disappoints an
uudlenco. Something good la expected und
In this Instance; wo know 4 Until owe but
voice the opinion of the uudlenco when we
any that bo gave complete satisfaction. Mr.
Towle'e talk was spontaneous, but tils heart
was In It, the sympathy of his hearers was at
once enlisted and every word, phrase and
sontonce was to the point und fell on appreci
ative ears.
W. D. Mathews’ remarks on “The Institute”
wore about the proper thing at this time and
were listened to attentively.
Dr. Trueblood spoke of "The Treatment"
and as everyone was Interested and the
doolos Is u good logical talker much valuable
Information was obtained. Thu doctor spent
ten days at Dwight under the Instruction of
Dr. Ivcelcy and the inoro ho Investigated und
the more he saw the more (Irmly lie became
oonvlnood of tho efficacy of thu remedies and
tlio cortalnty of the euro, llo studied euro*
fully thu treatment of the disease, noted tho
effect, talked with the hundreds of patients,
and as thu national Uold Club wus in session
bo was thrown In contact with men who tiad
graduated months and years before— mou of
prominence in all walks of life—and the en
thusiasm among all was most marked, und
without exception tho testimony was favor
ably viewed from any standpoint.
John J. McUufferty und O. S. (llllesplo
made pertinent talks—short but pointed.
L'larenoe Hulah then rend nil interesting
and Instructive paper which wo would like
to reproduce here nut. lack of space forbids.
The graduates, lolin A. Holden. Tlios. Bar

H. Merritt., responded to calls. The latter
said hu had been shot S4 times, taken a tut)
full of “dope," and was rennovulcd and re
juvenated. George Had prepared In writing
nls Ideas of the treatment, which were ex
plicit and Interesting.
All things considered tho first open
meeting of the lll-Uhlurdo of Gold Glut) wus
n pronounced success and will prove of In
cnluiilublo benefit to the Institute und Its
patrons.
SCATTERING CHIPS FROM NEIGHBORING
WOODPILES.
Amelia Journal: Don't monkey with
“Scotty's” heart rap or lie'll show you

it is all you can consistently ask of any
one.
Chambers Bugle: Qus Schreier was

the family aro suffering from the dread
malady. _

llcv. Boswell's family. They returned
on Monday.
Atkinson Grnphic: Ur. and Mrs. Mo
Pherson arrived home from (inrland, Ala.
where they have been visiting with
friends and relatives the past two
months. They express themselves as
having spent a thoroughly, enjoyable
time and the doctor states thut he is
now ready for business again, as will be
seen elsewhere.
Stuart Ledger: The action of tbe
alliance and deinocratie members of the
county board of supervisors in bringing
a suit of impeachment agnmst County
Treasurer Scott is thoroughly denounced
by fair minded ulliance men and dem -
ocrats. It is the opinion of the best
alliance people that their prospects are
blighted for the next campagin by this
revolutionary act.
Page Eye: R. T. Young, of Wiota,
la., spent a few days of last week in
Page and vicinity, returning to his
home in Iowa Monday. Mr. Young has
several hundred acres of land in these
parts and was up to look after them.
He says that they may talk as they wish
about this western country but they
cannot make him think but what it will
make a rich country before many years.
Atkinson Graphic: Cord M. Smith,
the irrepressible alliance leader from
southeastern Holt, made himself shame
fully couspicuous by appearing in the
role of both juror and prosecuting wit
ness in tbe trial, and tbe board exhibited
purblind stupidity by sustaining him in
the disgraceful attitdue. But tbe farce,
probably, would have been more tame
if this disgusting feature bad been
eliminated from this new comedy of
errors.
Omaha Republican:* Tom Madden of
Chadron, has received from tbe com
missioner of Indian affairs a blank
contract and bond and acceptance of his

Work will begin in a few days. The
brick and lime will be burned on tbe

Atkison Graphic: Tbe silver wedding
of J. T. Prouty and wife was well at
tended. There were a number of old
time settlers present, including a good
turnout of tbe VV. K. C of l.eonia. of
which Mrs. J. T. Prouty is president.
As is usually expected on such an oc
casion they all bad a remarkably g rod
time and a dinner that satisfied the most
dainty appetites and to which they all did
ample justice. If there were more wed
dings of this kind they most assuredly
would be highly appreciated.

entire Trinity, llis death occurred on
last Sunday morning after an illiuess
of but four days. The remains were
interred in the Chambers cemetery on
Tuesday, followed by a large number
of sympathizing friends aud neighbors.
The bereaved ones have our heartfelt

In Tub Frontier's opinion it was . /
the grand eat thing of the kind ,

were all more or loss personal, not Ufa
personal, just enough to makn «N«gF.V* #
body enjoy them thoroughly. Prhfal.1: i

a a star, a coudensed package of origin* ' ’

kept daucing until the police stopped #

Wells’ song on the persecution of fcotty

howled themselves hoarse and haven't
been able to speak above a whisper since.
Kvery body enjoyed the entertainment ,
hugely and would welcome the boye

anytime. We might write a chapter

A
Death of John Hart.
Word reached O’Neill last Friday to
the effect that John Hart, son of Wm
Bait, living at Inman, had been killed
by a locomotive at tirand Island Tues
day. As much as we could learn of tbe ■
particulars was that John, in company
with two other buys, were trying to \
board a moving train when be missed
his footing and fell under the wheels,
being killed instantly. His father went
down and brought the remains up Sat
urday, and Sunday they were intered In
tbe O’Neill cemetery. Mr. Hart was a
young man of about 21 years and his
untimnly demise is sad indeed. Tbb
Frontier extends its sympathy to the
bereaved family. i
