In speaking of Bartow’s decision in
the Hcott case the Sun says, “In the
mean time we will grin and bear it.” No
“grin” has been seen lurking around the
corners of Ilopkins’ mouth. This an
gular gentleman of high altitude with
the lean and hungry look never smiles
any more. He is like the small boy
who Btuck the pin into his dad. The
sun does not shine as brightly, the birds
do not warble as sweetly, the grass is not
as green and he is not so glad that he is
alive.
A little boy, 5 years of age, by the
name of Rudolph Gruber, whose parents
reside near Inman, had both feet cut off
by a locomotive at that place last week.
It seems the little fellow had been
watching the engineer oiling his machine
and thought he would get under the
tender and see what it looked like; so
when all hands were at dinner he got
under the iron horse and was just in the
act of getting out when the engineer
returned and started the engine. The
little fellow was taken to Ewing at once
and both feet were amputated by Dr.
Watson. He will probably recover.
While it seems to be true that John C.
Hayes is a republican and is short in his
accounts, yet it is also true that the
board, whose duty it was to see that
Hayes gave a good and sufficient bond
to indemnify the township against loss,
w as a democratic board. It consisted of
of S. B. Howard, supervisor, farmers’
..11:.._. 11 oi .— J __XT x/f_
tin, clerk, democrat. No blunder more
reprehensible could have been made.
They should have had a bond from Mr.
Hayes. It is only another exemplifica
tion of the ancient ttuth that if given
rope enough tiie democratic party will
hang itself every time.
The May Louise Aigen company was
at the opera house last Saturday ntgbt
and attempted to please a rather slim
house. The slimness of the house can
be accounted for by the penuriousness
of the managpment and their failure to
please, by lack of talent. Some sage,
whose name we have forgotten, once
remarked that the “American people
would rather be humbugged than not”
and by the way these fourth rate com
panies have been palming off their 25
cent shows at 75 cents per palm has led
ue to believe the aforementioned sage
about correct in bis diagnosis. A good
theatre is all right but these itinerate
tails that wag at the end of the theatri
cal business should be stepped on.
The present season opens up with
every indication of being one of un
precedented prosperity for O’Neill in
particular and Holt county' in general.
With a Keeley institute already estab
lished and prospering, the normal school,
rebuilding of St. Mary’s academy, a
llouring mill, a chicory factory and a
system of water works, we ilatter our
selves that a first-class start has been
made. Hut we havu't got enough. We
want everything tnere is in sight. Let
the good work go merrily on. It is an
undisputed fact that O’Neill has a class
of the most energetic business men and
citizens to be found anywhere. Politi
cal differences and business competition
fade (tuickly away when any enterprise
heaves in sight that will be conducive to
the public weal, and to this fact,
coupled with the advantage of location
can he credited the prosperous events
of the present year.
It is at once amusing and exasperating
to do business with the average adver
tiser. For instance a clothing merchant
comes into the*business office and asks
the price of a column ad. for a week, or
a month, and when he is told that it will
cost him, say $15, he generally gets
frantic and wants to know if he looks
green or if there are any fins visible
around him and will say, “why man, I
was just over to the Weekly Snide
office and they only asked $7.50 for the
same work.” This class of advertisers
generally lose sight of the fact that a
newspaper has a circulation—a subscrip
tion list somewhere around the office
and on that list depends the value of
an ad. If an ad. in the Weekly Snide is
worth $7.50, a like ad. in a paper with
twice the circulation is worth twice as
much. But how diilerent the man when
a customer comes in to lmy a suit of
clothes. lie has been down to a cheap
cash store and priced a $7 50 cotton suit
and then comes to the advertiser in
question who shows him an all woolsnit
for $15; then it is the buyer’s turn, lie
will probably say: “The cheap casli j
"store offered the me same thing for $7.50.
Then the merchant will get mad and
offer to bet $10 that the competitor’s suit
is not all wool. This is our position
exactly. While the service of our cot
ton contemporaries is probably worth
all they ask, Tiir: FnoNTiKit’s service is
worth more. It is all wool and a yard
wide.
A NOKIALJOR O'NEILL
That a Normal School Will Be Lo
cated Here There Is Little Doubt.
A FLOURING MILL SECURED
A Communication That Explain* the Per
secution of Scotty.
As stated last week, O’Neill will have
a normal school. Mr. Yost, of the
Arm of Guuu, Yost & Co., of Fort Scott,
Kan., was in the city Wednesday and
purchased the entire Huzulut addition,
comprising 111) lots. On this laud will
be erected a handsome 3-story structure
to cost about $20,000, a cut of which
was shown us this week by Mr. Millard,
who wns instrumental in making the
sale.
The value of this now institution to
our city cannot well be over estimated.
It is said their school in Fort Scott has
added over 2.000 population to the city
und the one at Wayne has operated in
the same manner to the extent of nearly
1,000.
This firm asks no bonus or anything
of the kind. However, these lots will
be for sale and judging from the effect
these schools have in other places will
be a safe and highly remunerative in
vestment.
The management will run no board
ing house in connection witli the school,
which fact will mnke an opening for
another enterprise in thut part of the
city in the shape of a boarding house
for students.
In speaking of the success of the nor
mal at Wayne, opernted by the same
company, the Journal, of that, place says:
In the five months since the opening, about
100 students have enrolled Ironi the following
counties: Wayne, Cedar, lllxon, Dakota,
Hurt, Gumming, Stanton, yieree, Hall and
Boon. The work during tlds time has not
been eunllned to the lower branch, but lias
Included the hlgberbranebesuf mathematics,
latln, sciences and literature. We notice on
the program of the present term which
opened a week ago yesterday, two classes In
geometry, three classes in latln. nutural
philosophy, botany, general history and
other work of this grade, besides classes in
all the common branches, bookeoplng short
hand, music, etc. No one doubts hut that
200 students will he In attendance during the
summer session, which opens the 7th of June.
A Sure Thing,
A meeting was called last Saturday
evening in the club room for the purpose
of discussing a proposition for a flour
ing mill to be located at this point. The
meeting was well attended and much
interest manifested. Mr. Fahy was el
ected chairman, who called upon Mr.
liarr to state the object of the meeting
which was to the effect that if a cash
bonus of $2,000 was given a null would
be erected at a cost of $10,000. Upon
motion a committee consisting of Messrs
Fahy, McCnfferty and Darr was ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions. They
proceeded at once with the work and
secured $1800 without leaving the room.
The other $200 has since been subscribed.
The power will no doubt be furnished
by the Glkhorn river. This is some
thing that O'Neill has been sorely in
need of for some time and will he a great
drawing card for the city.
If Not Conspiracy, What Then!
The following communication in last
i week’s Plain Dealer throws some light
on the “persecution of Scotty.” It is
an old saying that “wlipn thieves fall
out honest men get their dues” and the
truth of the saw was never more fully
appreciated than in the present instance.
It proves conclusively that the ousters
were not acting in good faith; they were
not afraid of the county losing any
money but it was necessary for them to
manipulate the treasurer’s office in order
to work some political schemes for the
fall campaign. Hopkins wanted to be
treasurer. Golden wanted to be senator
and here bangs the tale which is unfolded
in the communication published below.
Verily, there was method in their mad
ness. But here is the communication
that gives the whole snap away.
Paddock, Net)., April 6.
Editor I'i.aiv Dkai.kr: There Is a good
deal that has been said lately, and Is being
said about the action of the county hoard in
this section. One to read what is said in the
alliance papers in this county concerning
these malcontents would almost believe that,
they were genuine reformers. I wish to say
that barret Scott today has the hacking
of the best element of the alliance in
this section, llopkins is as mad as a setting
hen because he was not appointed In place of
Hays, and swears that John Crawford, Cord
Smith and Tom V. Golden had made a fool of
him, as they had promised to appoint him if
.. !..II_
kins now swears ‘hut if Tom Hidden is nomin
ated by the democratic senatorial convention
and endorsed by the alliance for state senator
lie pronoses to kick tint and will fight him
from the fact that such was the hurgin be
fore lie signed the complaint against Scott.
He said, “they made a straight bttrgin with
me anti instead of their appointing me they
gave it to that nonentity Hays." Hopkins
says that the matter of ousting Scott was
fully determined upon before the trial and
there is no use tif denying it Judge Hartow’s
decision gives entire satisfaction in this sec
tion. as being in accordance witli law and
justice.

KEELEY COCK-TAILS.
It wits particularly demonstrated last
week that liard cider and Keeler would
not mix.
Malinger Mathews and his estimable
wife handsomely entertained a qusrtet
of “jags" Sunday evening.
Visitors are alwnvs wolcome at the
club rooms, but wo want It distinctly
understood that petty larcency will not
be tolerated. We miss several books.
At the regular meeting of tho club
Friday evening tho following officers
were elected for tho ensuing term:
president, Cy Murphy; vice-president,
VV. A. Westfall; secretary, 11. W,
Mathews.
Dick liarrett graduated this week.
Dick has been a very close student,
never missing a “shot” or a “dope.”
Ho goes out comeplotcly cured and a
tlrm believer in Kecloyisin. It is such
cures as Dick’s that convinces the skep
tics.
We violato no confidence whon wo
say that Dr. Allon is a talker from the
headwaters of Talkorville; also, that
liis appetite is a wonder to the public
and an honor to liis landlord. A few
such boarders would drive a man to
drink or bankruptcy.
Mr. Toune, of tho Sioux City Journal,
was an agreoahle caller at tho club
rooms Tuesday. Mr. T. is a graduate
of tho Hot springs instituto and r firm
believer in Keeloyisiu. His personal
experience lias made him an eloquent
advocate of tho treatment.
Four musicnl “coons" with guitars,
banjo and mandolin, gave a pleasant
musicalo at tho club rooms Sunday af
ternoon. Tlie inspiring strains woko
up Judge Westfall and he favored tho
audience with the highland fling, after
which Harry Mathews, in his rich, deep
reservation tones sang “Rocked in the
Cradle of the Dope” with such sweet
ness and pathos that the clock choked
with grief and the electric wires coiled
up with remorse.
Judge Westfall received a bill from a
red-nosed rum-seller named Az Perry,
stating that he was indebted to the
aforesaid r. n. r. s. to the amount of
$17.08, and that he bad 20 minutes to
pay it in. He also wrote him a letter,
from which we extract tho following;
i Inclosed you will And bill for whisky fur
nished you. I let you luivo wldsliy when no
one else would and you skipped out, without
paying me and went over to O’Neill where
you eoold get free whisky at the Keeley.nl
was going to put It in llurhiink's hands for
ml lection Imt ho told mo you had throe
weeks to pay It In from the time you arrived
at O’Nellf. Von told mo when you left that
you would pay me lu 20 minutes.
Ibe ,1 niltfe soya he will do nothing
until he finds out wliot that odd 3 cents

The following is an extract from a
letter written by James O’Hanlon, of

CUAIIKON. Nun., Anri: !). '03.
W. D. Mathews, O’Neill. Dear Friend—
SlcUer and I arrived liotne all o. k, and a>-e
feeling well. For my part I never felt better
in my life and can't say too much In favor of
the Keeley treatment and am confident
that It Is a success In my case. It has done
my mother ns much good us It did me. Him
looks l» years younger Ilian when I started
for O'Neill. I have never thought of liipior
Illness some one would ask me about the
treatment nr if 1 thought I eould drink It. I
tell them that I eould drink whisky hut 1 do
not want it and would he a fool to try. There
arc about eight of us old jags here and we
are going to organize a ft. 0. of G.club to
morrow. Vours very truly,
James O’Hani.on.
Mr. De Van VJeck, of llushville,
graduated with honor on Saturday. lie
made the following address to the club
boys:
Comrades of the Club—I thank you for tlie
honor you have conferred upon mo In select
ing me as president of this club, and for the
attention and consideration you have shown
me while acting In that capacity. During
my rational moments when 1 was tlilnktngof
coming to this institute I supposed I would
lie looked down upnn as a self-cor.fessed
drunkard, hut upon mv arrival here I found
ii entirely dilt'erent. The patients, the uffl
'•'•rs of till' Institute and the citizens of
11'Neill said In language and actions too
st rong to he doubted that they would render
all the assistance In their power to anyone
w ho was making an honest endeavor to re
deem himself from degredutinn and shako
otr the clutch that the demon drink lias upon
him. 1 have only time to say a few words
this evening as many of you are anxiously
waiting to go to the show. While I have Imd
I lie honor to preside our club has not met
as olteu us it should owing to a number of
(drriunstiiiircs, the absence from the city of
a number of working members, the Inclem
ency of the weather etc. During tny service
in the army of a little over two years the
comradeship formed with the hoys of my
company and regiment while on the march,
in camp and in buttle, was and Is strong In
deed; and 1 remember the bovs now, after
37 years, with feeling of affection, hut 1 do
believe that during tho three weeks that I
have associated with members of this club
and the officers and managers of this instt
iulu i nave Kiriiiuu mcnutuupsstrongerthan
any formed during my army service. Then
it I hud fallen I would have been remember
ed with honor and affection, while If 1 had
bet.ailed by death when drinking and
carousing I would have been buried In dis
grace and shame, and 1 feel now that my
t It ret' week’s treatment it,Is been my redemp
tion and yon have all been rny companions
while being1 raised from the (lead, i know
that when I reach home next Sabbath morn
ing and tell them that 1 am certainly cured
of all desire for drink, my wife and little
ones will he the happiest family in Sherldun
county.
Comrades of the club, managers and offi
cers of the institute and citizens of O'Neill
I sincerely thank you for your kindness,
consideration and courtesy to me wldlo here
and 1 shall always remember you all with
feelings of kindness and friendship and I
shall ever have a warm place in my heart for
you. Again 1 thank you.
Language is some times powerless to
convey the deep emotions of one, who,
stirred by thoughts that lie nearest the
soul, endeavors to give expression to
his feelings in saying farewell to those
whom the ties of friendship have en
deared. Of tliis truth we were forcibly
reminded while listening to the parting
words of Van Vleck, prior to leaving
the institute on Saturday of last week.
Mr. Van Vleck hud taken treatment at
this institute the necessary three weeks
and during his stay did,’by his inatc
manhood and courteous deportment
toward all with whom lie came in con
tact, struck that chord of sympathy
that "makes all men a-kin,”and the im
pression left upon those who soon will
i follow him to their various homes will
Iio much moro lasting than the short
period of time that made bis compan
ionship so enjoyable. As a veteran of
ll)o array of the union his bravery on
ilio fluids of battle is attested by more
than one scar and wound. No badge or
decoration is needed to tell the tale of
bis suffering in his country’s cause.
And while the ooinradcship of the sol
dier, who drank from tho same canteen
and slept under the same blanket, who
suiforud the many hardships and re
joiced over the same victories, are not
forgotten, yet in words that found a
kindly response in every listening heart,
he Baid: "1, through the aid of means
that seem almost divine, have been en
abled to conquer a foe more Insidious,
dishonorable, than death by the bullet
of an armed fou, and I regret to leave
those who assisted me in this effort to
regain the manhood bestowed upon me
by the great Creatoi, more than I did
tho soldierB with whom I endured the
terrors of war. I go home a man, not
a slave.” Noble words from a noble

A Suggestion.
We wish to make a suggestion to per
sons troubled with rheumatism. Try a
few applications of Chamberlian’s pain
liiam. If that does not bring relief,
dampen a piece of flannel with the pain
balm and bind it on over the seat of
pain. The first application is almost
sure to relidVc the pain and by its con
tinued use many severe cases have bee*
permantly cured. 50 cent bottles for

A Kansas Kan’s Experience With Coughs
and Colds.
Colds and coughs have been so prev
alent during the past few months that
the exDerience of Albert Favorite of
Arkansas City, Kan., cannot fail to in
terest some of our readers. Here it is in
his own words: !‘l contracted a cold
early last spring that settled on my
lungs and "had hardly recovered from it
when I caught another that hung on all •
summer and left me with a hacking
cough that I thought I never could get rid
of. 1 had used Chamberlain’s cough rem
edy some fourteen years ago with much
success and concluded to try it again.
When I had got through with one bo|-'*
tie my cough had left me and I have not
suffered with a cough or cold since. I
have recomended it to others and all
speak well of it.” 50 cent bottles for
