spurious imitations.
Some one feloniously appropriated

The Fbontieu takes pleasure this
week in calling the attention of its
numerous readers to the statement of
the Holt County and State banks,which
show these deservedly popular institu
tions to be in flourishing conditions.
Ainsworth Star Journal: Dr. T, J.
Farleigh, of Johnstown, who has been
at O’Neill taking the Keeley treatment,
> has become an enthusiast in support
of that treatment, ns can be seen by a
letter received from him by the editor of
this paper.
i Mr. J. A. Landei, a prominent citizen
"of Clarksburg, Mo., and widely known
. in that state, says of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy:
“I have seen its good results' and enn
recommend it.” For sale by P. C.
Corrigan druggist.
The Enterprise says it is located in
the rear of the postofflee where The
Fbontier used to be. The Independent
could have chosen no better language to
locate itself. Everybody knows where
The Frontier “used to be” and every
body knows where it is now.
The Frontier’s article last week
touching the supervisors has had the
effect of stirring them up considerably,
"hey have been quite busy looking up

their swift horses and promising colts to
Chadron in order to work them over a
good trick and get them in shape for
the fall races. Tins Fko\tibr predicts
that Mr. Thompson will come home
with several victories perching on his
banners.
O'Neill nimrods spend a considerable
portion of their time on the prairies
these days. As it is contrary to .the law
of the land to harm chickens, it is quite
probable they are simply practicing on
gophers and last year's bird nests in
order to get their hand in and be rcudy
for the great slaughter which will bo
inaugurated in September.
Messrs. Browning and Doubit, promi
nent business men of Peoria, III., have
been in Holt county the past week, in
vestigating farm lauds, made some in
vestments, and go home happy. Charlie
Odell accompanied them. A good
mauy thousand acres of Holt .county
land is owned at Peoria and the holders
are all satisfied with their investments.
"Sambo Sunflower” in last week's In
dependent, attempting to annihilate Tub
Frontieb force, succeeded admirably
in crucifying the English language, or
the small portion of it that his abridged
vocabulary permitted him to attack.
His impoverished diction and rank
phraseology almost eclipsed the idea he
so laborously strived to convey in his
heterogeneous conglomeration of sense-!
less twaddle.
Saturday when the news of the shoot
ing of Frick reached camp atHomestead,
private lams, of company It. Tenth
regiment, shouted out "Three cheers for
the assassin.” In discussing the affair
in O’Neill Monday, Lessinger, of the In
dependent, said he would rather hurrah
for the assassin than for Harrison. The
independents might as well have one r.f
the Chicago bomb throwers for leader
as Lessinger; their ideas are identical.
Joe Meredith desires The Frontier
to state that he has not ordered a post
office of Montgomery Ward & Co., Chi
cago, and the report to that effect that
is now being circulated is wholly with
out foundation. Joe believes in patron
izing home industries and says that
when he gets ready to purchase a post,
office he will borrow $3000 and buy the
one that is already here. Of course it is
a second-hand concern and about 19
years old but then if properly taken care
of it may last for years.
Only the Elkhorn riyer quietly glid
ing along in the peaceful solitudes of its
beautiful valley, only a printer weary
and worn, divesting himself of super
fluous raiment preparatory to ap
proaching Godliness by applying a little
cleanliness, only a little nait in a little
board, only a corned and bunioned hoof
on the nail, only a sulphuric streak of
beautiful language soft and sweet, only
a thousand people asking what's the
matter with your sore foot? Not much
to grumble at to be sure but such lias
been the life of Kid King for the pas
week. _
Mrs. Mathews has the finest and most
varied assortment of house plants in the
county, and takes great pride in them.
On Saturday night the night blooming
cereus developed a beautiful fiower.and
the Presbyterians took advantage of it
to hold a sociable at the Mathews resi
dence. A good time was had, refresh
ments were served and about $13 netted.
On Sunday evening another flower de
veloped. These flowers are most fra
grant and beautiful, and as the plant
blossoms but once a year and exist only
from dark till midnight they are quite
scarce.
Johnnie Weeks several hundred
years ago remarked that “those who
bear the cross shall wear the crown.”
Where he got his information is imma
terial and bis assertion will be accepted
as true until the reverse is shown. Were
it not for the consolation to be found in
Jack’s promise we do not believe we
could continue struggling along to the
river Styx where a spectral bark is
moored in the bull rushes, wailing to
convey us to—well no matter. There
are a few things, the Page News in
particular, that makes us tired and sick,
and fills our soul with dire forebodings.
With reckless disregard for all rules,
and exceptions, of orthography, eto
mology, syntax, prosody, compos!tion
and poetic diction, it roars and belches
alliance doctrines until we wonder that
Webster, Brown, Swinton and other
illustrious gentlemen of letters do not
pool issues and haunt him to his lonely
tomb. Look at these:
Good bye old party, good bye.

Mrs. J. W. Flrebaugli returned from
Jackson Saturday evening where sho
had been visiting relatives for several
days.
Some of the boys say that John Mc
Hugh got lost going to the picnic the
other day. Wo suppose that it was
coining home that he got lost.
Harvey Bentley went up to Long
Pine Sunday. He is confined to his bod
now with a serious rase of ivy poison
ing. The Fiiontieu hopes for his
speedy recovery,
0 Neill s team played ball at Spencer
Saturday with the Fort Uandall team, 9
to 12, in favor of llandall. The next
dny Butte crossed bats with the victors
and won 9 to 14. Spencer and Randall
will play in O’Neill during fair week.
Mrs. David Adams started this morn
ing for Hoboken, N. J., where she goes
to visit her brother for a few weeks.
She will also visit Saratoga, N. Y., and
Long Branch, before her return. Mr.
Adams accompanies her as far as Chi
cago.
Ned Jones, who has charge of J. P.
Mann’s store at Mpenoer, was married
in Ainsworth Inst Tuesday to Miss Clara
Swett of that city. Mr. Jones and wife
arrived in O'Neill this morning on their
way to Spencer, where they will make
their home. The Frontier wishes Mr.
and Mrs. Jones a long and happy life.
Last Tuesday afternoon the Meredith
residence presented a gay and festive
appearance. It was little Luclle’s fourth
birthday and her numerous young
friends had called to pay their respects.
The little lady was the recipient of
many presents. Tii'e Frontier trusts
Lucile may celebrate a hundred more
birthdays.
Prof. Hunt of the State University'
Lincoln, has been spending a week or
twd in O’Neill rusticating. Mr. Hunt is
a genial gentleman and one whom it is
a genuine pleasure to meet. While The
Frontier reporter was conversing with
him the other day the conversation
turned on county superintendents and
Mr. Hunt volunteeied the assertion that
our own Mr. Dudley was recognized as
one of the leading superintendents of
the state. Although The Frontier
cannot indorse Mr. Dudley's political
principles it is always pleased to hear
Holt county’s citizens well spoken of
and take this occasion to congratulate
Mr. Dudley on the success he has gained
ns a public official.
Last Friday a large number of our
citizens, who had received invitations,
drove down to Haynes’ grove to attond
a picnic which was given by the Knights
of Pythias. As is well known Mr.
Haynes has one of the finest groves in
this county for a picnic and a person is
alwavs welcome when he goes there.
Prof. Hunt of the Nebraska state uni
versity made a short speech which was
well received. About 8 o’clock the
members of the order and their wives
commenced passing around the eata
bles which consisted pricipally of every
thing that was good. The Knights
have never yet undertaken anything
without making it a success and this
picnic was no exception to the rule. It
was about 10 o’clock when the party
returned to town after having passed a
very pleasant afternoon.

THE WEEK'S NEWS
Republicans Elect Delegates to the
County Convention.
BOYD COUNTY SCHOOL LANDS
The Tilings Made on the Lends Lest Spring
Will Be Allowed to Stand.
The Filing! Will Stick.
The following dispatch to tho Sioux
City Journal, date of July 28, throws a
little light on the Uoyd county school
land qncstion. It would seem from a care
ful perusal or the same that the filings
made last spring on the supposed school
lands will hold good, but here’s the ex
tract. Read it:
Tho senate last ovenlng at tho lustance of
Senator Paddock passed tho Fort ltandull
military reservation bill. It provides that
odd numbered suctions In that portion of tho
reservation In Nebraska may bo selected by
tho state as school Idemnlty lands In lieu of
those lost and that the even numbered aoe
tlon and the odd sections not selected shall bo
subject to homestead eutery otdy. Tills Is
tho third bill of direct Interest to his district
which has not received the slightest attention
from Congressman Kern. Thu others are
those which provide for tho taxation of tho
lnnds held by the Indians In Thurston county
and that provldos for the extension of tho
exception to thejpre-cmptlon ropeul bill to
Iloyd county settlors, A careful analysis
of tho votes roeorded against Kern shows
that ne has oast himself with many of tho
measures which would scarcely be In
dorsed by Ills constltutcnts but ho seems to
take no Interest whatever In tho bills which
the senate passes for the uspeelul benefit of
the district.
The republican primaries in this city
passed oil very quietly last Saturday,
That is as quietly as they generally do
in O’Neill. The First ward had two
tickets in the field, both of which were
all right, but strange as it may seem one
of them was defeated, There was no
issue to speak of and the fight was
simply a little good natured rivalry to
see who should represent the ward.
Here are the two tickets:
Candidates.
John Mrllrlde.
Ed llorshiser.
Dave Stannard..,,

In the Second ward there were five

great convention convenes next Satur
day. The ticket was:

Towle, Mack and Jones will represent
the ward.
The Third ward, where heretofore
harmony has always been a stranger,
where strife and discord held the scepter,
was quiet. There was but one ticket
and out of the 37 ballots cast but one
was scratched. The delegates are: C.
Sclah, S. L. Thompson, .1, H. Meredith
and Clyde King. ♦
Harmony also prevailed in the town
ship and D. H. Cronin, It. J. Hayes and
Eli Hersbiser were elected without op
position.
Another Testimonial.
T. J. Farleigh of Johnstown, who has
been taking bi-chloride of gold injec>
tions in O’Neill, writes the following
letter, under date of July 17, to his old
friend Tom Smith, of the Ainsworth
Star-Journal:
I thought I would write and give you my
experience up Ur date since I arrived here. I
came here loaded and thought I .would
“buck” the treatment, but could not “buck.”
On the second day I was very sick, was- able
todrlnkuhalf plntof whisky, on the third
day two ounces, and on the fourth one-lialf
ounce. On the fifth, to-day, none at all, nor
do I ever want to again, t could not If I
wanted to. This Is one of the, most blessed
treatments In the world. Would to God I
had taken It years ago. I would have been
better oil every way. I saw Warren Town
send yesterday and ho said, “Doc. you look'
five years younger." I feel five years young
er every morning when I get up. I believe 1
could leave off treatment now and never
want another drop of liquor. Everything
looks different to me. I never saw the utter
devlllshness of drunkenness as I see It now,
and 1 never pitied a poor victim of the dis
ease—for It Is a disease—as I pity him now. 1
And more than this I will be able to go home
and not hear my children whisper, “Mamma,
Is papa fully” My advice to any man that
cannot control hi s appetite for drink would
be to comb to the Keeloy Institute at O’Neill
where he will be treated fairly and kindly.
Public Sale.
I will sell at public auction at Mullen's
livery barn in O’Neill oh August 6, '92,
the following described property, to
wit:
Two ponies 8 years old, one with colt
by her side; two 3-yr. old colts and one
yearling.
Six months time will be given with 10
per cent, interest and bankable security.
Ten per cent, off for cash 1

Sapervlior Golden Arlioi to Explain.
Editor ov O'Nkii.i, Fuontirr—In
Inst weeks issue of your paper appears a
list of the supervisors with the amount
each had drawn from the county for
services this year. Dy Implication you
accuse the members of having charged
the county rnoro than thoy should. The
amount received so far as my hill for ser
vices is concerned is correct and I have no
objection whatever that the amount be
published, but think it but justice to mo
that a statement of the services per
formed should be made in order that
the public be informed whether or not
the money was earned. The law Axes
mileage and per diem allowed to super
visors and it is generally presumed each
member charges according to the law
for the time employed at the legal rate
of per dny and 5 cents per mile nec
essarily traveled. Until the reverse is
shown the bills of the supervisors are
presumed to be correct. Whether or
not the supervisors worked us intelli
gently or expeditiously as other men
could have done is not a matter of Issue.
The question is: Did the member
work the number of days and travel the
number of miles charged for? If lie
did it is then a question of ability and
not a question of honesty. I do not
appear to attack or defend the ability of
tbe board nor to pose as au apologist
for the system of lounty government in
use in our couuty, known as tbe “super
visor system.” Any person of reasonable
intelligence can see its glaring defects
inconsistent with economy, but it has
been fixed upon our connty by o vote of
its people and while it remains the bus
iness of the county must be performed
under it, however much we arc convinc
ed that it is on absurd and necessarily
expensive luxury.
And now answering for myself with
regard to the amount of my bill for ’03
1 will say: I am willing for you to ask
the question, “did he earn the money?”
and let the records be the answer. My
afhdavit is attached to the bills and a
statement here that I was employed in
the county’s service the number of days
stated would make it no more convinc
ing. The records will show that a con
siderable portion of the time for which I
have charged was performed as a member
of a special tax committee consisting of
C. E. Butler and myself. This com
mittee was appointed for the purpose of
examining the records of the United
States land ofllces at Neligh and O’Neill
with a view to the thorough correction
of the tax list and assessors’ books. If
was known to be a fact that numerous
tracts of land in the county hud been
taxable for many years and yet never
appeared on the tax list. It was also
known that many tracts of land had
been erroneously assessed for many
years and in many cases tax deeds given
on land upon which proof had not
been made and therefore not assessable.
These errors had not only been the
means of defrauding the county of con
siderable revenue but had also been the
means qf causing numerous residents
time and expense in clearing their land
from eroneous taxes when proof was
made upon their land. The committe
compared the assessors’ books with the
land office books and found by virtue of
its labors three hundred and eighteen
tracts of land in tbe county which were
omitted from the assessors’ books that
were assessable. Many of these tracts
had been assessable for a number of
years. The committee also found one
hundred and eighty-two tracts of land
upon tbe tax lists in the county upon
which no proof had been made and
were therefore not assessable. In many
ot these cases tax deeds hjive been given
and will necessitate a large payment to
the holders of the deads by the county.
i uave noi computed me tax on me 31S
tracts added to the tax list for yeor 1892
by virtue of the committee’s work but
am safe in saying it will not be less than
$1,000. The work done will not only
add that amount to the county’s revenue
hut will be the means of making the
assessors' and tax books correct by
eliminating the errors and save the
county officers a large amount of time
in the examination of the records.
Whether or not 1 worked diligently and
faithfully I refer you to the register and
receiver, Mr. Harnish or to my co
committecman, Mr. Butler.
Besides the above named committee
the ^writer was also a member of the
committee on settlement, which, as
is generally known, requires consider
able time to perform its labors.
This article would not have been
written but for tho fact that my name
appears on the list as being the highest
amount claimed by any supervisor and
without a reason given for the extra
charge. Very truly,
T. V. Goldex.

Irish Lassies at th* Fair,
All visitors at tho world’s fatr
doubtless want to Inspect the Irish vflfi.'
InRe which is being arranged under th^ a|
auspices of tho Countess of Aberdeet -
and Mrs Krnest Hart. Tho latter glv(t
the following outline of what it wttl-1
contain:
wo snail bare seven cottages to 5*
peasant girls and lads from Donegal and ••
elsewhere will be seen at work, weavings |
spinning, dying, sprigging, carving; 1
etc. The girls will look very pretty la *
Connemara red petticoats, iishwllt. a
skirts and blouses, and scarlet cloaks*.
In the first cottage will be a precis#
model of a cottage in Donegal, with uit«
dressed walls of granite, with a hooded < i
flroplaco and a dresser full of bright V'
crockery; a girl will be seen dyeing and * «
spinning our famous Hund-and-Hearth •' ■'
homespuns, the wool of which she gets
from the litchens and heather of her.;
nativo bog outside. There will be air
imitation peat fire, add on this the dyes V
will from time to time place her iron
potato pot, and proceed to dye the woof', 1
This operation is sure to provo lm>
mensoly attractive to sight seers, and,
as well as the carding, spinning.ang fp|
bobbin-filling, which will be shown hers e’*
is an extremely interesting process. ®
"In the second cottago there will be
linen weaving and embroidering of the f
famous Kells art Embroidery; whilst‘ ^
linen damaBk weaving on a Jacquard ■
handilnom and fringe-knotting will go
on in tho third cottage. Between this
and the next cottage there will be # \ ■
model dairy, in which dairy-maids will* '
be at work churning and butter making.
I can assure our American cousins theyr'.!«
will have a chance of some good buffer,*
..... • V »» wMtaxww VI n V m v g uuu I »'
as wo shall send over some of the world®*
famed Kerry cows, which will be stabled
at tho rear. There will also be a pleas
ant, cool spot here where visitors can
rest and drink iced milk.
“In the fourth cottage, which is under"^
the especial care of the Irish Industries .* .
Association, every description oft Irish
lace will bo shown. There will be •'
.Limerick lace worker at her frame, the,'.-Jr
Torchon lace worker at the pillow, the
numerous varieties of point lace, and so
forth. fcj
"Sprigging and veining, which are
employed in tho production of theff|
beautiful hemstitched handkerchiefs of
Belfast, will be shown in the next cot- (
tage. The girls of Down are especially
noted for their exquisite and beautiful
work. We have not quite definitely
decided abog| the two remaining cot
tages. but we shall probably show in the
seventh the wood-carving Industry in
Ireland, which has reached a really re
markable degree of devclopement when
ono remembers the workers'aad'tMih-~%i
ers are peasant fads. You shonld
the set of owls carved by t&un&mif
own boys for Lady Aberdeen- last year. ’ *
The expression of the owls' faoWk W$' f’;
well ns the execution, was excellent. * j
Other features of our Irish
villages will be a replica of Donegal <
tie. an old well, and other interesting
Celtic memorials. I believe the Irish
village will be successful; wei
tainly do our host to make it so.”
