Love is going to return to his post at San Sal vador. Harrington will soon return, and then Scotty will feel that he has a friend in court. Frkd Fox has taken the whisky cure, and we predict and wish for him the prosperity his talents warrant. There promises to be some fun in politics before the campaign is over, in the democratic ranks particularly. L. D. Richards wants to be ono of the state delegates to the Minneapolis convention. All right here, governor. — The Garfield Enterprise says V. U Stone of Ord is & candidate for congress from this district. Who is stone any way? The water works fever prevails in many towns, so O’Neill'is now rifeht in line witU enterprise to say nothing of necessity. Thh candidacy of Jo Bartley for the republican nomination for state treasurer progresses encouragingly to bis legion of friends. John Thurston says ho is a republi can whether his friends are nominated or not. This is the right spirit. No sulking this year. The silver question was the bone that nearly strangled the democratic con gressmen, and will have a bad effect along in November. Judoe Norris has the Knox county delegation, the first delegation selected to a nominating convention in the third district, and for that matter in the state. Wertz accepts the situation philo sophically, and has about made up his mind that a paper does not begin to prosper in good shape until a boycott is ordered. Senator Cullum was never in the race for president yery hard, but he 1ms withdrawn. Harrison practically has no opposition at Minneapolis, which is as it should be. » The Norfolk News comes out iq a nobby new spring suit. The News was always a model paper, and the improve ments it inaugurates surprises no one. It is expected to take the lead. I She alliance people are souring on I Simpson and Ins colleagues in congress, dunging them with essaying the char* ! in ter of dudes since going to Washing* on. Just think of Kem as a dude. Paste this in your hat: Grover Cleveland will he the democratic nomi nee for president. That llill which has been in his way will be mighty small by tlie time the convention meets. Fuemont is to have a side issue jag factory; not a Keeley however. It is safe to predict that if this enterprise is successful the amazing democratic majority in Dodge county will be largely reduced. Tun press dispatches in Sunday's lice carry the startling information, second hand however, that Blaine is a candi date. Probably no stock will be taken in this, yet the hearts of the admirers of the great secretary beat faster at the very idea. -- ~ — The Chicago Herald, at least, is a frank Democratic paper. It says it “must be admitted by all frank demo crats in all parts of the country, chsos has fallen on the democracy of the east.” Just so. The Lord hath brought con fusion on His enemies. -- -* - The Fremont Tribune may designate our citizens by almost any nppclation in the catalogue, but when it refers to our predcccisor as handsome we kick. We know Jimmy is good and honest and affable, but handsome never. lie is too short, too fat, too blonde. -►*«#*. ---- W. M. Hohektson, of Madison county, is not an aspirant for congressional hon ors in the ordinary acceptance of the term, but some of his friends are “men tioning” him in that connection. “Rob" would make a very creditable represen tative for the third district. The speculation in the papers con cerning future movements of the Short Line company is varied and unreliable. About the way to figure it is that it is a line short of cash. It makes but little difference to O’Neill whether tho road is extended further west or not. The World-Herald says tlie demo cratic party wants "harmony in large chuncks” and adds “apply to the demo cratic ceutral committee.” Should the party be able to secur"! the harmony chunks it would need some large blocks of votes to make a decent showing airainst Hen Harrison. It makes the ku-klux remnants in Alabama chuckle clear down into their boots when they read this from one of Senator Hill’s Alabama speeches: “I am rejoiced to know that it is a country where the people rule, and where every citizen, no matter how humble or unlet tered he may be, has the same rights as the wealthieft citizen in the land.” Scotty still holds the fort and all is serene at the court house. As there is no question but that Judge Bartow’s decision will be held good by the su preme court should an appeul be taken it is presumed that this is the last of the celebrated case. It has been a little bit expensive to the county of course, but the reformers (?) are not worrying about that. _ TnE Butte Free Lance mentions our Colonel Towle as good congressional timber. Bight you are for once, Santee. But the Colonel authorizes us to state positively and unequivocally ’that he declines in advance to accept a nomi nation. Of course if the dear people should elect him to the honorable position of congressman no doubt the Colonel would qualify, and you nan rest assured that he would be heard from while iu Washington, and in a manner most pleasing to his constitutents. It is hardly pleasant to ourself to be forever complaining, but at this period there’s a good opening for fault-finding. Why don t the property owners of this city commence at once to mend their ways? It’s a natural consequence that sidewalks should be in a delapidated condition in the spring, and, it seems to neglect the repairing of the same. Get loaded with a dose of benzine and try a tramp around town and you will find that the boards are continually coming up to kiss the dew from off your rosey nose, while bright stars gleam forth in wondrous splendor. Fix up your sidewalk for the sake of all, and don’t let us give ourselves away in this manner. Tub following piece of railroad news is taken from the Sioux City Journal of recent date and will bo of interest to our neighbors over north: “The Fremont Flkhorn and Missouri Valley road will do some building in northwest Nebraska this year,” declared a gentleman yester day, who claims to have inside infor mation from the'otScials of thecompany as to the plans. ‘.The line that now has its terminus at Verdigris, in the northern part of Knox county will be extended flftv-three miles to Butte, in the newly created county of Boyd. Boyd is simply the north part of what was formerly Holt county, and the new county has been organized since the Ponca reservation was thrown open. The proposed line wiil be the only one in the reservation, which is one of the richest sections of Nebraska. The line will be along the valley of the Niobrara i river, and there is no question that it will be built this year, and that all arrangements to that effect are now consumated.” Pbesidknt IIaumihon lias not only won tlic warm praise of liis political friends but bas also commanded admir ation from bis bitterest foes, by bis management of the great international controversies which of late have risen between this and other countries. Noth ing lias been more marked in the politi cal world of recent days than the ability shown by the president through them | all. Manly and dignified his bearing lias been one of unswerving firmness. And the world rccogniy.es in him a master diplomat. Nothing of bravado bas entered into bis utterances. Only calm plogic and irrefutable argument characterizes his correspondence with foreign powers. The democratic paper that alludes to the old chesnut of “grand father's hat” to the statesman who is now at the head of the greatest republic of the world is very low in the scale of decency. President Harrison hasgreat'.y increased his reputation tor statesman ship with the American people without any ostentacious or particular effort up on his part to curry popular favor. Here is a little prose-verse that Walt Mason wrote a number of years ago: “I stood on the bridge at midnight as drunk as a son-of-a-gun. Two moons rose over the city, where there ought to have been but one. I could see their bright reilection in the water under me. and I expressed n feeling of wonder and great curiositv. If only one hail been I would not have been in doubt. But what two moons were doing I could not make out. The tide was slowly ebbing, I could hear the waters roll, as I stood in the waver ing shadows to escape the night patrol. Ilow often. Oh! how, bow, often, in the days of auld Jang syne, I had tried to cross at midnight and got lost many a time. But to-night I was hot and rest less, and my mind was full of enre, for the walk before me seemed greater than I could bear. I had no latch key with me and locked would be the door aDd I’d have to sit in the doorway in agony and fear, ’till a voice said from the window,“did the lodge hold late my dear?” Mo to-night I Btood there dream ing and watching the restless tide, ’till a cop came along with a wagon and asked me to take a ride. There are a number of boys in O’Neill —too large a number for the size of the town—who are a disgrace to themselves aud their parents. This is plain talk but it is true, lamentably true. We do not propose to argue the question as to who is to blame. The bringing up of a family is a serious undertaking, and the responsibility altogether too great to be lightly considered. The fact is patent to all that the boys need some sort of curb or the results are certain to be fraught with many heart aches and un told suffering not only to the boystliem selves but to all connect3d with them. We do not believe in being too severe, yet under the circumstances the plan adopted at Had Oak, la., strikes us as being wise and naturally productive of much good. In that city children are not allowed on the streets after eight o’olock in the evening unless accompan ied by grown persons. What a contrast in O’Neill, where young boys are to be found on the streets at almost any hour of the night. If the parents cannot keep the boys at home is there any other way to work a reform in this direction? Friends of Justice are you aware that the county board of this County have been turmed l’lrates by the children of The Fron tier and their long eared ass who manages the whole concern. Is this bate thrown out to catch subscribers, or is It payed for In ad | vunoe. The Frontier outfit know that the facts arc correct brought out In the trial and there Is no excuse for them but that they aro Interested. One of the stockholders of that paper told a gentleman on the train that If county board pushed Scott they would drive him to the wall but if they wonld leave him alone until bis term expired be thought lie would have all the money there but now said be it Is out and ho cannot get it. These are l ads and then for an outfit to call a set of men Pirates because they ousted Scott when ' ■ ■ V.-V- »‘"-V" V HUIUIUICU 13 <1 11LUU tainted with Boodle we are led to believe.— Ewing Advocate. We reproduce the above without an attempt to correct spelling, composition, punctuation, capitalization or grammar, in the hope that the reader will be able to make out what is intended by the astute editor. The Frontier cer tainly is iutererested in this case, as it believes in fair play under all circum stances. We do not believe a stock holder of The Frontier Printing Company ever made such a statement as above charged, and we would suggest that the Advocate give names. Friend Butler we have always esteemed as meaning tube fair,but such insinuations are not fair. It is natural that the parties who have been engaged in the persecution of Treasurer Scott should feel sore over the total failure of their schemes as to final results, but they should accept the situation with better grace and hereafter be more honor able in their efforts. KEELEY IS KING. Letter From J. L. Donham on the Bi Chloride of Gold Cure. O’Neii.i., Nkii., March 21. Editor Argus:—In compliance with your request before leaving South Sioux City, I will attempt to give you at least a slight idea of life at the institute. Almost every victim of strong drink who enters the institute harbors a doubt as to the efficacy of the treatment, and I was not an exception to this rule. I was skeptical up to the eleventh day, when I CHICAGO Be Fair "With Yourself and SEE OUR SPRING STOCK OF MEN'S AND BOYS' CLOTHING. HATS, CAPS, GENT’S FURNISHING G! BOOTS, SHOES, TRUNKS AND VALISES.

SMITH, Manager. very suddenly concluded that Keelev was king, and that old barleycorn was no longer "in it." On the eleventh day after my arrival, I punished more booze than on any preceeding day, and had almost arrived at the conclusion that my case was an absolutely hopeless one, but after taking the 13 o’clock shot,I changed my mind. Within twenty minutes after the shot I grew deathly sick, which, of course, I had to patiently en dure amid the laughing and jeering of those who had been in the same boat before me. That settled my case, and I haye not tasted whisky since, and sin cerely believe that I will be permanently cured of the curse that has so many years darkened my life, and I furthei believe that any man who will come here in good faith and obey the rules can be cured. The treatment is not only a sure cure for the liquor, morphine, opium and cocaine habits, but there is a patient being treated for rheumatism, n.ni1 althmiirh lip nmxr nnlv nn thp mm mencement of hi9 second week, lie feels a wonderful improvement, and that hr will he permanently cured he has nol the slightest doubt. It thoroughly cleanses the blood, tones up the system and absolutely removes all desire foi liquor. And in justice to the manage ment permit me to say that if kind treatment and a constant lookout foi the welfare and comfort of the patients will contribute anv toward bringing about a cure, the O’Neill institute will certainly stands without a peer in its good and glorious achievements. Ir fact, every officer of this institute, from President Mathews down, seems to br endowed with a natural faculty foi gaining and retaining the respect and confidence of the patients. To this faci may be attributed the chief cause ol their success. There have been several visitors here who have taken the treat ment at Blair and other places, anc they are universal in their praise ol President Mathews. Treasurer Selat and Dr. Trueblood, of the O’Neill insti tute. These gentlemen do all in theii power to make the crestfallen “jag” feel that he is in the hands of true friends when he enters the institute, and nc matter how obstinate the poor victim ol alcohol may be on the start, within twe days he is usually willing and anxious tc follow the instructions of the physician. There are also other advantrges posses sed by the O’Neill institute over many others. Some of the worst boozers that ever wallowed in the ditch of drunk enness have taken the treatment ai Dwight, 111. To-day they are leaders ir the business and social circles of O’Neill This fact has given the good people oi this busy little city implicit confident in the merits of the treatment; conse quently they Cheerfully co-operate witl the management of this institute ir making things pleasant for those seek ing a cure. One night last week thi first class graduated, and an interesting entertainment was given at Masonic hal utter which the stuuems returned t< tneir club rooms, where, to their sur prise, an elegant repast awaited them which hud been prepared by the gooc women of O’Neill, whose whole heart! seem set on uplifting downfallei humanity. Scarcely a week passes by, but there are trom one to three enter tainments at the opera house, and Presi dent Mathews invariably looks after the interests of the Keeley boys in the way of providing them with free tickets, al his own expense, while his good wife occasionally gladdens their hearts with large baskets of pop-corn, in short, the man who will return to drink aftei taking a course of treatment at this in stitute is certainly unworthy to be called a man, for If he drinks at all, he does sc through pure ?ussedness, and not be cause his appetite craves it. My time will be out next Monday, bul 1 will probably remain a week longei for the benefit of my neryes. Dr. Allen is getting along finely, anc expresses his earnest confidence in th« efficacy Of the cure, as all others do aftei a few days treatment. To those who were instrumental it sending me here, I desire to tender m\ sincere thanks, as to me like thousand! of others. I deem the Keeley treatment a godsend.—South Sioux City Argus.
