This is what the In Bpendent calls “converting the whole buntry.” _ |The Independent says “King does not pm to be in the races this year.’’ fell, it may be that King is not overly pet of foot or swift on a wheel, but it (d not require any great length of time »r him to cause Lessinger to crawl into |s hole when it came to discussing the ppervisor question. Mr. Austin,of the Amelia Journal,was l the city Saturday evening, having pst returned from Omaha. He in jirmed us that while away he had made pro important land deals and the con tquence would be that two new fami es would move into the South Fork Buntry mithin a month. ..Charlie Millard, Ed.

Little, known as the ‘king of settle theives,’ was sentenced to two ears in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. Two hours after sentence he was on his iray to jail, heavily ironed, in charge of wo deputies. Little was one of the loldest cattle rustlers that ever lived in his section. It is estimated that lie has luring his brief time here stolen 2,000 :iead of cattle, which’he shipped east. Cattlemen now breathe easier that he is lisposed of than before. John L. Sullivan is no longer the ;ing of fighters. Ten years ago last [February he conquered Paddy Ryan and [thereby won the championship of the [world, which title he held until Sept. 7, >3892, when he was conquered by James Corbett in 21 rounds. Sullivan being badly punished while Corbett did not have a scratch. Although Sullivan was defeated he died game. He took more punishment than any other pugilist liv ing could take. He was outfought, out generaled, and in fact was not in the fight from the start. O’Neill sports lose heavily as they were betting two and three to one on Sullivan. Corbett is a young man 28 years old and has a bright future before him. Judge Kinkaid returned from bis trip west, Monday evening. Billie Lowrle is in O’Neill again work ing on the Independent. Mrs. Thomas’ father and mother from Iowa are visiting in the city this week. Rev. -Father Smith came up from Omaha Monday night and is the guest Father Cassidy.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith returned from York last Friday evening where they had been visiting relatives for about five weeks'. Albert Blinco, formerely an employe at the Short Line depot, has thrown up his situation there and and secured one as “newsboy” on the same line. Last Saturday evening James DeYar man was elected president of the O'Neill Republcan Club to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of President Towle. _ Harry Uttley came down from Hot Springs Saturday, where he had been employed in the law office of G. M. Cleveland. He will now remain in O’Neill. _____ At a meeting of the fire department held last Tuesday evening, the resig nation of Chief Mathews was accepted and T. V. Golden was elected chief of the department. Cbarle Hoffman has purchased the tailoring establishment of Estlund & Sclden, and he will do business at the old stand. Mr. Hoffman is an exper ienced tailor and guarantees satisfaction. We wish him success. It was an anxious lot of sports that congregated at the telegraph office Wed nesday evening. You could hear a pin drop in the room as the reports came in, but the roof was raised when it was learned that Corbett was winner. W. B. Nider with a party of Sioux City gentlemen arrived in the city Sat urday and left at once for the South Fork country on a hunting expedition with Agent Firebaugh as guide. They returned Tuesday morning with plenty of game to pay them for their trip. Henry Murphy, the alliance candidate for county attorney, while walking down the street the other day met Shine, the bootblack, who was wearing a Harrison hat, and Henry, thinking to swell the ranks, said: “Shine, come down the street and I'll buy you a Wea ver hat.” But Shine, who evidently has an eye to business, said: “By gosh, Henry I’d like to, but I couldn’t get anything to do if I wore a Weaver hat.” Henry’s face got red and he meandered off down the street whistleing: “The Day is Cold and Dark and Dreary,” while the boys exercised their horse laugh. When the discussion between The FnoNTiEH and Independent, on the supervisor question, was at its height, Lessinger said, “if we are wrong we will gladly make the correction.” To con vince him and the public generally that that he was wrong we procured a cer tificate from the county clerk sustain ing our position, and at the same time stated that we would “hold our breath” lor the correction, but as week chases week down the corridor of time we be gin to feel like taking one more good iong breath. We earnestly admonish Lessinger to break this ominous silence. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Lappan was beautifully decorated and the lawn and entire grounds was bril | liantly illuminated last Tuesday even ing, it being the tin wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Lappan. About 8:30 o’clock the guests began to arrive and so continued until there was present about 150. A bowery had been elected for dancing and most of the yonng people present were soon tripping the “light” fantistic \ toe, while others whiled away the time by playing cards. Supper was served at midnight with cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. Lappan were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents, and many wishes were given them that they might live to celebrate their golden wedding and that each anniversary might be as enjoyable and pleasant as ; was the tenth. Will Hot Go This Timo. It will be remembered that R. R. Dickson was arrested last spring on the same old charge from Hot Springs and again applied for a writ of habeas corpus which was heard before Judge Klnkaid at chambers. Here is the Judge's opinion: "My decision in this case is that in as much as the purported copy of the pro fessed indictment on which the gover nors of South Dakota and Nebraska respectively have acted and on which this requsition was granted does not contain the name of the foreman of the erand jury or indicate that the original indictment was signed by the foreman of a grand jury, aud without which no indictment can be created or given iegal vitality; that the requisition granted in this case is an nbsolute nullity; and the fact that this may have been an over sight with the attorneys of South Dakota for the prosecution and the res pective governors cannot alter the result. As a legal proposition this will prob ably not be questioned by lawyer or layman.

PREDICTS REPUBLICAN SUCCESS A Meeting of the Committee Will Probably Be Called at Oaoe. Following lea copy of a letter mailed to-day to Joe Hunter, chairman of the senatorial central committee, which ex plains itself: O’Neill, Neb., Sept. 8, 1802. Hon. J. M.

I do this with deep regret, as no man could es teem the honor conferred by tho great republican pnrty more than I do, but the condition of my health and business and financial reasons almost forces this step. I honestly believe the republican candidate for the senate will be elected, and I know that whoever your com mittee selects to fill this vacancy will bo a man in whom the voters will have confidence, and that he will do us 1 would have tried to do—kept the banner of republicanism at tho front during the entire fight. Yours very truly, W. D. Mathews. TWO CONGRESSES COMPARED. The Minneapolis Tribune has been making a little review of the present democratic and and the last republican congresses, comparing the work of the present body with that done by the re publicans, and also with the promises and pledges of the democratic party. It finds that the great things promised the people, anl the fashion in which those pledges were redeemed were as follows: DEMOCRATS PROMISED TO X. Kepuul McKinley tariff. 2. Carry free sliver. U. Kill tlie reciprocity fraud. 4. ltopcul the sugar bounty. 5. Stop mail subsi dies. 6. Cut appropriations SlUO.UUO.OOtl. HOW PROMISES WERE MET. 1. No attempt made. 3. Vote split; nothing done. II. No attempt made. 4. No attempt made. 5. No attempt made. (!. Appropriations 444 322.870 bigger. After appropriating the funds of the government on a scale never before ap proached, and scarcely even atlcmping legislation on its radical pledges, it amended five little flea-bite tariff duties, wool, barley, twine, lead and cotton ties, all of which together did not amount to the one republican tariff re form of removing the duty on sugar. “The tariff was to be slaughtered in order to kill off the trusts and tariff barons which prey on the people.’ It appears, therefore, that the trusts and tariff barons on which this brave demo cratic congress had its eye were the fel lows that raise wool and barley, mine lead and make cotton ties. ‘The people’ who suffered were the manufacturers who consume wool and lead, the dis tillers who use barley, and the planta tions that use cotton ties. As fire sixths of the duty on binding twine had already been removed by the preceding republican congress, that duty was not a party issue.” The pledges made to the people by the democratic party were entrusted to a congress having 158 majority, the lar gest possessed by any party in congress since the war. We have seen what its performance was. The republican congress had only seven majority. It passed a great number of far-reaebing measures, some of which have affected commerce all over the globe und are a constant factor at work for the prosper ity and interests of the American peo ple. Some of those measures are as follows: The agricultural college act. The anti-lottery act. The anti-trust act. Various army legislation. The McKinley tariff, including reci procity. Four miner custom laws. The land grant forfeiture act. Meat and live stock and inspection laws. Increase of navy act, and other navy legislation. Admission of Idaho and Wyoming. “Original package" legislation. Several pension acts. The present silver law. The World’s fair bill. Immigration legislation. Indian legislation. Public land legislation. Let the country judge. The facts are before it. Which congress has shown the greatest capacity for government, the greatest fidelity to the interests of the whole people and the greatest dis patch of important business? An exhibit of the ice age is being pre pared in Ohio for the exposition by Prof. I. F. Wright. He will collect boulders from different parts of the state, and with them fragments from the original ledges in Canada from which the Ohio boulders were brought by the ice; aud specimens of scratched stones; exhibit a large glacial map of Ohio, an an outline map showing the course the boulders have been brought, placard detailing the principal glacial facts, etc. From California, Editor ok Tub Frontier; Dear Sir—I will at this lato hour of my sojourn on the western const make good mv promise to writo you. The first thing that impressed me on reaching this state was the great scars the multitude of mines have made on the Slerm Nevada mountains. Large patches of huge forest trees have been cleared away and the earth dug uo to a considerable depth and washed to gather out or it the gold it had hoarded for untold ages, glnce this kind of mining is prohibited by law. The irre pressible yankee is muklng these baro patches on the mountain grow gold getting vegetables and fruits. The largo valleys where immense tracts have for years been devoted to raising wheat, barley, oats and hay, are being divided and sub-divided into small parcels and planted to orchard trees. Tho Santa Clara valley, of which San Jose is the chief city, is ono of the best fruit grow ing portions of the state. Here there are many thousand acres of orchards, mostly owned in small tracts varying in size from one or two to forty acres each. Tho homos of the people indicate thrift, mnny of them are elaborate and costly. Flowers are abundant almost everywhere, in some places in vast va riety and profusion. Californians gen erally claim theirs to be the best coun try in the world. For some it may be, yet the chronic habit of Americans, of boing distressingly in debt, prevails to a considerable extent, even here. This may ue a goou country lor homcB for well-to-do people, but I tbink, with many others here, that for the poor who have not an assured occupation this is the poorest place In America. The ordinary Holt county farmer has a para dise, in his present home, despite the blizzards and cyclones, compared with what the proceeds of that homo would buy in this land of earthquakes and Eden-vales, of lato springs, frosts and gorgeous summer flowers, of various lucious fruits too costly for the poor to buy, of tramps that carry their beds or sleep at night without them, and or ladies and gentlemen in fine carriages driving like the driving of Jehu. The average common laborer gets a dollar and a half a day and boards him self, but is much of the time without work. ' The lowest price of unimproved land that I h^re heard of in this valley is one hundred dollars an acre. Lands with bearing orchard trees are held at #500 to $1,200 per acre. I think there is much more careful and intelligent attention given to fruit growing here than is usually given to other kinds of farming, here or else where. The cities and smaller towns that I have visited seem full of enter prise and are generally thrifty. All political patties here as elsewhere are at work for the maintainance of the principles of their various platforms. Educationally, California seems fully up with '.he foremost of our sisterhood of states. And its churchly activity is probably superceeded by none. All or pearly all the denominations being well represented by able and efllcient men. To the tourist California has many places of interest that will amply repay the visitor for time and money spent in taking them in. To the opulent home seeker there is much here that is invit ing. Hut as for a paradise for the poor, they can make it for themselves any where else in America, as easily as they can here. u. n. Ws Are Not Bluffing. It is sn easy matter for any merchant to claim he is selling goods cheaper than anybody and nine out of ten claim it whether it is so or not. Common sense teaches anyone that the more goods a man buys the cheaper he can buy them, and the cheaper he buys the ohearer be can sell and the cheaper be sells the more he sells. Never since we started in business in O’Neill have we had a larger of better stock than this fall and we know we own our goads as cheap as any firm in the state, and are determined *,o sell them at prices that will astonish the county. We do not believe it pd^s to buy or sell poor, trashy goods even if they are cheap and our business to-day after eight years trial provesdhat the trade has confidence in our goods and prices and if we have given satisfaction in the past we will more than please you in the future as we will spare no pains or ex pense to get your business. Our dress goods and trimmings, are particularly attractive this season and you can not find a better selection this side of Omaha AND THE PRICES AKE RIGHT. In clothing we will show many of the best styles ever made in ready made clothing equal to half the tailor made clothing and much cheaper Cloaks, cloaks, cloaks! You ought to see our beautiful new styles and our immense assortment. They will all be here about the time our new salesroom is finished and you can expect something extra in assortment and prices. Don't invest a dollar in fall goods until you have seen our stock. Yours truly, J. P. Mann. WORLD’S FAIR NOTES. A. novel and interesting question came np beforo Collector Clark at the Chicago custom house. It was In re* gard to a consignment of nails, Iron beams and building materials sent over by a Bolgian firm on the world’s fair grounds. The law permits the free ontry of all goods intended for exhlbi* tlon purposes, but it was a question with the collector whether these mater* lals, which will be hidden in the build ing and cannot, therefore be exhibits, wero entitled to free entry. The col lector finally came to the conclusion that the goods were duty free provided the director-general accepts them for use within the exposition grounds. If Bold after the exposition closes, duties will have to be paid. An Interesting exhibit Is to come from the Black Hills, 8. D.. which will dis play In novel form the minerals found in the llills. The exhibit when arranged will be in the form of a two story and a half cottage. The framework of the structure is already built and Is in the stylo of the Renaissance, with towers and numerous gables. It is impossible to decldo on all details, of course, until all the material has been collected, but the following plan will be carried into effect as nearly as possible: The foun dation will bo made of pure white lime stone, headed with a layer of Buffalo Gap "calico” stone. The first story will be veneered with pink quartz. Above that tho handsomest rocks obtainable will be used—copper, mica, schist, needle, spar, garnet, etc. The lower part of the tower will be made of rubles and the upper part of some spaikllng substance. Tho windows and shingles are to be of mica and the steps of mar ble. The cottage will no doubt prove an attractive feature of the state exhibit. A part of tho material for the New Hampshire state building has been shipped from Concord, N. H. The shipment consists of 182 pieces of Con cord granite. 102 blocks of Conway stone and eleven barrels of moulded granite for the fire-places.
