John flazelct would almost give his prospects of going'to heaven for infor mation leading to the discovery of the person who sent him that little useful piece of furniture bearing the export mark of France. John objects to this 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 _,_ 38-2 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. > yi; -il; U : f if 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, Barney Stewart, G. J. Musslgman, James 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 rett. A. J. MussIgmnu.Wm. 8. Howie und Geo. 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 what's "in it,” and as long us he does that it is all you can consistently ask of any one. Chambers Bugle: Qus Schreier was kicked by a horse last week and hnd to be Uiken to Ewing for medical treatment. Dr. Heston sewed up the wound and he is doing well. _ Atkinson Graphic: Peter Anderson, residing about 8 miles northeast of town, lost a 3-ycnr old child with diph theria last Mouduy. Several others of the family aro suffering from the dread malady. _ Atkinson Graphic: Mrs. Eva Richard son. wife of superintendent of the Pul man Company, Ouiulm; Miss Marianna Johnson, professor Penn College, Osk aloosa, la.; Mr. Herman Gnrretson, elec trician in O’Neill; speut Sunday with 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 bid for tbe erection of three new build ings at Pine Kidge agency. Tbe con tract price for tbe work is $17,953. Work will begin in a few days. The brick and lime will be burned on tbe ground and quite a number of men from tbe neighborhood will be employed on the contract. 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. Chambers Bugle: It is painful to record tbe sudden death of Lynn Eisele, the pet and favorite of W. E. Eisclc and wife of Chambers. Little Lynn was 1 year and 8 months old, a bright lovely boy'and the beloved of the 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 sympathy. The burial services were conducted by Rev. Isaac Husted. my-V * ’ The Minstrel ley*. ■ Friday night wa» a loud om far D’Neill, That was the night the travel- ' ug men gave their minstrel performance. In Tub Frontier's opinion it was . / the grand eat thing of the kind , sver put on the boarda In • D'Nolli. Not that the boya possess ^renter talent, but the.'r Joke* and aongi. . were all more or loss personal, not Ufa personal, just enough to makn «N«gF.V* # body enjoy them thoroughly.

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 NEW ARRIVALS.
