Fred has numerous friends here who are always glad to see him. Scottville has arranged a large and entertaining program for the Fourth. They will spread the eagle in McWhor ter’s grove. Graphic: Lessinger’s chunk of alli ance harmony that he is nursing in O’Neill seems to act like a fly blister plaster on the bowels of the Sun and Tribune. The Fhontiek is this week publishing in pamphlet form plans and specifications for O’Neill’s system of water works. It is to be a first class system and complet ed by October 10.

The manufacturers’ exhibition now being held at the Colliseum in Omaha'is proof positive that Nebraska is not merely an agricultural state.

Graphic: Tiik Frontier is now be sieged by the allied forces of opposition newspapers. “Cannon to right of it, cannon to left of it, cannon in front of it,” belches and thunders, firmly it stands and well, smiling at the shot and shell, vomited from the mouth of hell, charged with alliance blunders. John Murphy, who has been in Park City, Utah, the past six months returned home Sunday morning, to make ar rangements for removing his family there, which he expects to do about the first of July.

S.—Hoc returned last night, says he has the boom all right and Is loaded for bear We are inclined to the opinion that If hi; blunderbuss is charged that way he will have a Golden opportunity to got It off next fall. _ Fourth of July sale of ladies’fine Oxford Ties at L.

Every character was represented in a most becoming manner. Ti e band consists of father, mother and four small children. The last evening enter tainment was played to a crowded house and from start to finish was greeted with with rounds of applause. The Frontier Is indeed sorry to be called upon to chronicle the death of 0. H. Young of. Dorsey, which occurred Sunday. Mr. Young had been a resi dent of this county for about seven years, at the time of his death being employed in the flouring mill-of Menzie & Parker at Dorsey. Deceased was 2S years of age. The funeral occurred Tuesday in O'Neill. The Frontier ex tends its sympathy to the family of the deceased. _ Johnnie Weeks expects to attend the greatest show on earth at Chicago next week. He will return as far as Omaha on the 3d, where he will be met by Jack Hazelet. They expect to shoot fire crackers and drink red soda water at that place on the Fourth. If there were any pretty girls iu Omaha we would feel called upon to admonish them to keen in the shadow of their paternal roof as we are not prepared to guarantee that the boys would not steal them. Amelia Journal: C. W. Moss of Sun nyeide came tearing into our sanctum this morning Jun 4th at 2:40 gait.—Its very happy yez look this mornin’, Mr. Moss, An’ why be the cause av it?” Says I. "Its a bye; and tho neighbors do be tellin’ me the child is the vary image of his father,” Snys ho.—Well! says I, Oi wouldn’t be afther moinden’ a little thing loik that. What’s the harum in his resemblin' ay yez if the choild's only healthy?’ Says he, “I want a pair of No. 11 boots.” But we failed to learn whether Mr. Moss wanted the boots for himself or the boy. Democrat: Last Sunday Tommy Uuf feny, son of B. Gaffeny of this place, met with a very painful accident. He iu company with his brother Burt and two or three other boys were hunting in the vicinity of Emmet. Burt was handling the ‘‘Zulu’’ and in some manner the gun was discharged, five of the heayy shot lodgiug in Tom’s legs. As he was only about twenty feet from the gun the shot were buried to such a dedth that they have not yet been extracted, and one that lodged inuhe ankleicausing consid erable pain. The boy was brought home on the delayed passenger train Sunday night. Dastardly outrage! Introducing the ways and customs of Ireland in free America! Evicting a lone Irish widow tenant! Worse than that! Bodily throwing her from her own building, ignoring her vehement protests, even though backed by the tomahawk! The Lord Mayor orders his paid minions to fire the widow and remove the buidling! Her body unceremoniously placed be hind the bars! A daylight exhibiton of legal power! The valiant marshal and ex-sheriff do the bidding of their royal master, the city’s mayor! The populace dare not say a word in defense! Widow Collins and her shanty no longer grace the Faliy corner! ’Tia well! Selah! _ How customary it is for newspaper correspondents to heap maledictions upon the heads of compositors, editor and proof-reader when they discover a slight error in their communications. They allude to them as chumps, block heads. ignoramuses and what-not? They should always be thankful that matters are not worse. They should consider that perhaps their copy was so badly written, sentences intermingled and ideas so jumbled that the famous Phil adelphia lawyer would throw up the sponge in disgust. It is safe to say that if it were not for the compositor and proof-reader nine-tenths of their articles' would be preserved as relics of bad-en glish and plebeian illiteracy. Attorney A. II. Anstine has come back from O’Neill with a physical black eve and a legal red feather. The black eye was given him by a bank cashier whom he catechised severely on the stand for a few hours, l’he red feather he won by getting free his client, who was ac cused of embezzling from the bank.— Omaha World-Herald. The bewhiskered so-called attorney not only got a beautiful black eye and sore mug generally,but did not get a legal ted feather. That was black also, as his partner, Fuller, was bound oyer to trial by the district court. This man Anstine is a light weight all ’round, and thought he could insult Sam Sample when on the witness stand. Sam is a well known gentleman in all the name implies, and has more friends in his old home in Omaha than Anstine has ac quaintances, and his physical resent ment after court adjourned was' right and proper, and an object lesson to Anstine that ought to do him good, if he has brains enough to appreciate it. Another Pioneer Gone. "In the midst of life we are in death.” One by one the old settlers are passing away, and it is the best ones lately that death has selected for bis victims. The latest is that good old man, that cour teous, honorable and obliging gentle man, known by all, loved by the people, and one who will bo sadly missed— Thomas Donohoe, “Uncle Tom” as he was familiarly called by his intimate friends and those who had known long. Mr. Donohoe was born at Longford, Ireland, Aug. 15, 1832, where he resided until 1846 when he came to America, at a time when bis native country was suffering with famine and devastation, and when this country was enjoying rn era of prosperity. Mr. Donohoe soon became an American. He soon removed to Pennsylvania, where he resided until he removed to O’Neill in 1877, being among the first of the Qon. O’Neill col onists, With his family he settled on the raw prairie seven miles north of town jtnd has made of it one of the finest farms in the county. He has always been a progressive and enter prising citizen, and all unite in saying "peace to his ashes.” Mr. Donohoe has been sick about three months, and bis death on Wednesday night at 10:45 o'clock while not unexpected was a severe blow to his family. The funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10 o’clock at the Catholic church. Tug Fhontikh joins the many friends of the family in extending to them its sympathy in their sorrow. _ The following from the pen of Walt .Mason jg true to life and is splendid reading for young men, whatever their avocation, and it might be well to paste it in your hat where it could be readily referred to: "When Rufus Smileworthy commenced to work for the Echo City Daily Blazer he gave promise of being a valuable man. He was young and his style of writing was rather crude, and at times he was liable to slop over, but he was a youth who had good and or iginal ideas and the editor recognized in him the possessor of brains. In order that Rufus might improve and outgrow his faults of composition, the editor went through his copy with great care, weeding out the redundancy, tautology and grammatical lapses, so that when the articles appeared in print they were really good and attracted attention. For a time Rufus was grateful to the ed itor for thus pruning and trimming his effusions, but after a while his head swelled and he became impressed with the idea that the editor was jealous of him and deliberately tried to spoil his best things. "The editor knows that I can write ail aronnd him,” he would say to his friends, “and he is just mean enough to murder everything I com pose.” As time went on and the name of Rufus acquired some local renown the swelling increased, and be fancied that he was known from the pine-clad hills of Maine to the sorrowful and som nolent Pacific, and so ho let his hair grow long and tried to look dreamy, and cultivated certain eccentricities which made him a nuisance to all who knew him. He also became lazy and allowed the patiunt, mild eyed editor to do most of the work while be loafed and admired himself. Rufus was thor oughly convinced that the Blazer would sink into eternal night without him, so be was astouished when one day the editor told him that his services were not required any more. He knew that the editor was commiting suicide, but it was not for him to protest. Was he not known and admired wherever the English language's spoken? Had not his picture been printed in the Clam myville Herald? He would attach him self to some large paper and give the world a backward twist. But to his in finite surprise, when he went to- the nearest large city, and hunted up the various managing editors of the papers, and announced that he was Rufus Simleworthy, they were no more sur prised than had he said his name was Jones, or Smith, or Robinson, And when he explained what a great man and marvellous writer he was the cruel managing editors told him to tackle the Congressional Record; they bad no opening for him. And the star of Rufus Smileworthy went down in darkness. The Echo City Blazer still lives and makes money, but Rufus rides wearily to and fro through the vast and dusty land ip freight cars, vainly seeking somebody who will recognize his sur passing ability and give him a meal ticket. There are a good many Rufus Smileworthys working on the Echo City Blazers of this western country who should soak their beads in ice water and reduce the swelling before it is everlast ingly too late, or they too will soon be riding in freight cars in company with Hunger.”_ A deep cut in the prices of ladies’ Ox ford Ties until July 4, at Dwyer's Boot and Shoe Store. 49-2 WORLD’S PAIR NOTES. Tho Commercial association of Oporto has decided to furnish money for an ex hibit from Portugal at tho World’s Fair. About twenty-flvo wine merchants have made arrangements to send exhibits. Tl)e food fish of Wisconsin, which is one of tho host fishing grounds in tho Union, are to bo shown in a tine exhibit at tho World's Fair. The state commis sioners have appropriated 811,000 to de fray the expense of preparation of the exhibit. A cablegram from London savs that tho original portrait of Pocaliontas, painted in 1613, has been secured for ex hibition at tho World’s Fnir. Tho por trait la owned by Eustace Neville Kolfe, of Loachum Hall, Norfolk, who is a de scendant of John Uolfo, whom Poca hontas married. Chief Samuels of the Horticultural department has nlieudv received dona tions of plants and flowers for the Ex position valued at more than $50,000. All preparations for the caro ot tender plants has been made, and largo consign ments are expected soon fiom tropical countries. Tho World's Fair authorities have de cided to bear the expense of transporta tion of such works of Amorican nrtists nbroad as may bo offored for exhibition at tho Exposition, and are accepted as cxiiibitis. This action was taken with a view of securing as complete and rep resentative collection as possible from American artists. Yacht clubs and yacht owners, both on the lakes and sea coast, arc to be in vited to be represented at Chicago by their boats during tho World's Fair. The invitations sro tq be oillcinl, and will be accompanied by detailed infor mation concerning the depth of water in tho various canals, the size of locks, etc. It Is believed that several hundred yachts will accept this invitation. George Wilson, secretary of the World’s Fair bureau of music, has re turned from a two mouths tour of Eu rope in the interests of the bureau. Ho visited leading musicians at London, Paris, Munich. Milan, Genoa, Home, Vienna. Prague, Dresden, Brussels and a number of other places. Mr, Wilson received assurances from musicians in all these places of cordial co-operation at the Fair. The Wisconsin World’s Fair board has decided to exhibit at the exposition two statues typifying the culture, energy and progress of the women of the state. It was the intention at first to have only one statue, but two designs were sub mitted which are not only of superior excellence but of merit so nearly equal that no decision between them could well be made. It was, therefore, de cided to make use of both. The design ers are respectively Miss Miner of Madi son and Miss Mears of Oshkosh. Thirty-five of the forty-nine states and territories in the Union have ac cepted the building sites assigned them on the exposition' grounds, and have submitted to the construction bureau for approval the plans of the buildings they propose to erect. Nearly all the others, it is known, are about ready to take like action. Every state and terri tory, with perhaps three exceptions, will erect a building. Quite a number of these buildings will be reproductions of historic structures such as Indepen cence Hall, Washington’s Mt. Vernon home, old Fort Marion, etc. They will occupy the northern portionv of the ex position grounds and will be surrounded by walks, lawns, shrubbery and flowers. They will be used as headquarters for state boards and visitors and as recepta cles for exhibits showing state resour ces, etc. rope Leo XIII has shown the deep interest he feels in the World’s Fair and in America by deciding to exhibit at the Fair some of the rare treasure* of art, literature and history which the Tatioaa contains. Archbishop Ireland, DOW la Rome, has cabled this information and asked for space for the exhibit. The Vatican contains a collection of art and other treasures which cannot be dupli cated and which are priceless in value. The exhibit will, no boubt, contain many of the most interesting of these treasures and will attract, perhaps, more attention than will any other one display at the Exposition. This action by the Pope will certainly tend to increase greatly the interest taken in the Fair by all Catholic countries, and thus render it a greater and more successful Exposition and one in which the world will take pride. To Hon. Thomas B. Bryan ami Mrs. Potter Palmer, as well as to Arch bishop Ireland, is due much credit for using their influence to effect the result mentioned. Exhibits from the Pacific coast states for the World’s Fair, will be charged only half regular freight rates each way. The Transcontinental Association made a decision recently to that effect. Full tariff on the forward journey and free return are the best terms thus far offered by the other great traffic associations. California’s exhibits will be fruits largely and will not be returned, hence, it was deemed reasonable that a reduction should be made on the forward journey. The London Polytechnic has already booked more than 800 for the World's Fair tour which it has undertaken to manage for English artisans, and the number is being incicased daily. These excursionists will visit the Exposition and incidentally see the sights of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chi cago ,and Niagara Falls, on a total ex pense, including transportation both ways, of about $125. They will be com fortably lodged, while in Chicago, in D. L. Moody’s biblc institute, anil in barracks on a block of ground belong ing to Marshall Field, the use of which accomodations has been donated by the gentlemen named. Fred Aim has removed his shoe shop to R. J. Dwyer's, shoe store, where he can be found at all times prepared to do all kind: of reparing at reasonable rates. 48-2 J. M.
