he is amputating whiskeis in Hoffman’s
tailor shop, two doors north of the old
stand.
Hon. J. P. Caldwell of Lincoln, will
address the republicans of Holt county
at O’Neill on October 5 at 8:80 in the
evening. Mr. Caldwell is no stranger to
Holt republicans, as he has been on tbe
stump in the county before and is uni
versally recognized as one of the best
orators in the state. He will be escorted
to the court house by the republkan club
in uniform. There will also be a grand
torch light procession that evening.
Mr. Miles Gibbons, mannager of tbe
Globe saloon, has put in a lunch countor
and employed that popular and efficient
caterer, Ed. Mills, to take charge of the
same. A room in the rear of the build
ing has been splendidly furnished and
will be used for a dining room, where
the choicest viands procurable will be
served on the short order plan. Busi
ness men who have no time to take din

The Boyd County Agricultural Socie
ty’s fair is now in progress at Butte.
The Frontier acknowledges receipt of
complimentaries and regrets that cir
cumstances are such that it cannot be

sition ot that prosperous young county,
but hopes to see a goodly number of itB
citizens in O’Neill on October 4-5-0-7,
during which days Holt County’s Agri
cultural society will hold high carnival
in O’Neill.
District cou'Tt.has been busy most of
the week disposing of equity cases.
However time was found Wednesday to
try the case of Charles Connors against
tbeF.. E. FE. V. Ry., an action for
damage on account of the railroad back
ing water onto Connor’s farm. The
case was ably defended by Ben White of
Omaha and prosecuted by Messrs. Har
rington and Benedict of O'Neill. The
jury was out but a short time and re
turned a verdict for defendant. The
case of Michael Slattery vs. Micky
Caughlin is being tried to-day. In this
action Mr. Slattery accuses Coughlin of
shooting cattle. •
Homer Campbell arrived in O’Neill
Monday night via the Short Line and
will visit friends in Holt county for a
few weeks. It has been two years since
Homer bid a tearfull adieu to his sweet
heart in O’Neill and pointed his toes to
ward the city by the Sioux, where he
hoped to win wealth and fame, both of
which he has accomplished. He has a
wealth of beard on his upper lip that
would cause an oriental denizen to turn
white with enyy. And his fame lies in
the fact that Sioux City typographical
union number 185 recognizes him' as the
swiftest man on the job. The King end
of The Frontier entertains a sort of
brotherly lover for Homer as ’twas he
that explained to us the intricacies of
'morning newspaper work, ’twas he that
cracked with us the orignial package,
’twas he that had dissension with the
landlady and caused us to seek a new
boarding house, and last—but not least,
oh. shades of giatefulness, ’twas he that
alienated the affections of our best girl.
Saturday was a grand day in O’Neill.
It was a big day for political parties and
it was an opportune day for.l. P. Mann’s
grand opening. His store presented a
betAtiful appearance and Was viewed by
and rushing throngs from sunrise till
awayinto thenight.This was the firstform
al opening held in the city and was a de
cided succes and of course will be fol
lowed by others. The store on this day
was indeed a thiDg of beauty. Entering
from the south you were confronted on
either hand by magnificently trimmed
windows, one ornamented with costly
1 ribbons, silks from the orient, rich and
lare, the other with carpets and trim
mings of the latest styles and finest qual
ity. Passing on through the room the
sight-seer was at once astonished and be
wildered. Astonished to find so large
and complete a store west of Omaha and
bewildered by tl\p gorgeous and magnif
j icent display of merchandise. We have
not the space to pursue this subject
further but are free to confess that Mr.
Mann’s establishment is a credit to our
city.

Saturday Evening
Last Saturday evening, about 7:30,
the O'Neill Republican club donned their
bright and showy uniforms, and with
their torches illuminating the entire
street, formed in line in front of the
club room. They were 100 strong and
headed by the Ewing cornet bund
marched through the principal streets of
the city and then to the court
house where Matt Dougherty was to de
liver a speech on the political issues of
the day.
The meeting was called to order by
J. L. Mack, who in a few well chosen
words introduced the speaker of the
evening, Mr. Dougherty. The speaker
at once started in and proceeded to bring
to light Mr. Kern’s record in congress,
and very clearly defined Mr. Kem’s yote
on the Pickier timber culture bill and
also bis gas bill. Mr. Dougherty is an
eloquent speaker and the applause he
received throughout his speech proved
conclusively that. he had caught the
crowd.
■ Our own Col. A. L. Towle was then
introduced and spoke for about thirty
minutes. He paid an eloquent tribute to
the republican nominee for state senator.
The Colonel is a natural orutor and his
O’Neill friends are always pleased when
they are presented an opportunity to
listen to him.
Jo Hunter was then introduced by
Samuel C. Sample, of Boyd county. Mr.
Hunter said that if elected, as he be
lieved he would be, he would per form
the duties of the office to the best of his
ability and for the best interest of bis
constituency. He was loudly cheered.
As the young republicans of O’Neill
desired to be represented in the speech
making line, C. H. Towle was called for
as their representative. The vast audi
ence soon realized that the young men
had an eloquent and able speaker to
champion their canse. He spoke about
fifteen minutes.
Three cheers and a tiger were then
given for Ben Harrison, Jo Bartley, Jim
Whitehead and the whole republican
ticket, and Jo Meredith said that the
roof of the court house was raised six
inches. It was one of the most enthus
iastic republican meetings ever held in
the county.
Elkins’ Beeord.
Kem in hta speech idst Saturday made
the statement that secretary of war
Stephen B. Elkins was in the rebel army
during the war. We thought at the
time the gentleman was mistaken and
the more we have learned of the life of
Elkins the more we are convinced that
Kem maliciously maligned his record.
Secretary of War Elkins graduated from
the university of Missouri in 1860, was
admitted to the bar in ’63, practiced m
New Mexico for several years, (remem
ber the war was m progress all this time)
was a delegate to the republican national
conventions in ’84 and ’88. He was ap
pointed L\ 8. district attorney in ’68.

Whitehead in the War.
"James Whitehead came to my regi
ment In February. 1804, at Newbcrg, N.
C., and he served right through the war
to the close,” said Colonel Rollln B.
Strong to a reporter yesterday, as the
conversation drifted upon Mr. White
head's race for congress.
"Whitehead was one of the best sol
diers I ever knew,” be continued, "al
ways ready to take his life in bis hand
for the defense of his country. When
he went with Butler over to the Appo
mattox and struck the river at Bermuda
Hundred a call came for fifteen men out
of evory 100 to swim the river and give
the rebels a tussel on the opposite bank.
When I stated to my men the nature of
the work that had to be done and called
for these fifteen volunteers Whitehead
was the first man to step out and offer
his services. He will tell you, if you ask
him about it, that there was another mkn
who stepped out first, but that is on ac
count a f his modesty. As I remember,
he was tho first man to come out for that
hazardous task. It happened that the
men who volunteered were not required
to make the sacrifice for we found a ford
a little way above where the cavalry got
across and routed the rebs, but the men
who volunteered to swim the river would
have done it just the same if it had been
necessary.
"My regiment was the Nineteenth Wis
consin and we lay in front of Petersburg
nearly all the summer of 1804 getting
ready for the fall campaign. In October
of that year wo were engaged in the
second battle of Fair Oaks, where our
regiment was pretty badly cut up, and I,
with a number of ray men, went to
Libby prison. In that battle I lost my
leg. From that time on I lost sight of
Jim Whitehead. He was not captured,
and, with the remnant of our regiment,
went on through the war to the close.
At the fall of Richmond the Nineteenth
Wisconsin was the first regiment to plant
its flag on the city hall tower. White
head was one of the boys who entered
Richmond and was mustered out in Oc>
tober, 18015. I never knew him to shrink
from-duty, and so far as I know he was
never in the hospital a solitary dpy. He
went to the war to fight, and he did it
like a hero. I hope ho will bo elected
to congress, for this state could not send
a truer or more worthy man to represent
the people in the national assembly of
law makers."—Bee.
