It seems that these monuments may be had from the government by the county pay ing the cost of transportation. Mr. Bryan wore the gray in the rebellion and it is quite evident that he does not believe In waving the “bloody shirt." T. V. Golden says: “I had the pleas ure of bearing Prof. Ambrose lecture and consider him an able, scholarly and entertaining lecturer. O’Neill is to be congratulated in having secured him. All who attend will be entertained to their entire satisfaction' and be made to feel that an entertaining lecture gives value for ■' the time and money ex pended.” At the court-house Feb. 20.

An exchange gives a list of eight classes of people that, do a town no good:- First, those whq go out of town to do their trading; second, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; third, those who imagine they own the town; fourth, those who think business can be done slyly without ad vertising; fifth, those who deride public spirited men; sixth, those who oppose every movement that does not originate with themselves; seventh, those who oppose every public enterprise that does not appear to benefit them; eighth, those who seek to injure the credit of an individual._ It is with pleasure thatTHB Frontier this week announces the marriage of Mr. Fred Swingley, of O’Neill to Miss Mary Bertolet, of Leaf River, 111. Mr. Swingley left O’Neill last Saturday for Leaf River to be present at the impor tant ceremonies, which occurred yester day at that place. Mr. Swingley has resided in O’Neill for the past two years, and during that time, as assistant cashier of the First National bank, has made many warm friends who will join with us in wishing the couple all the nice things customary in these hymeneal events. A few of Fred’s bachelor friends in O'Neill, being unable to attend, sent their regrets to the bride’s parents and enclosed a note to Mr. and Mrs. Swingley stating that a set of dishes were awaiting them at this place. And a handsome set they are too. cost ing in the neighborhood of $50 whole sale. The two, which now are one, are expected to arrive in this city some time next week, when they will be at home 'in the residence formerly occupied by J. W Thomas. One of the finest social events of the season was tbe card party given at the Hotel Evans on Tuesday evening by Mrs. W. T. Evans,Mrs. Q. C. Hazelet and Mrs. Potter. There were ten tables which were arranged in two rows, four prizes being awarded to each row. The head prizes for ladies were beautiful souvenir orange spoons, and were wotf by Mrs. D. L. Darr and Miss Tess Har rington. The gentlemen’s head prizes were beautiful silver soap boxes and were awarded to Doc Wells and D. H. Cronin. The consolation prizes were a ribbon handkerchief sachet, awarded to Mrs. Ed Gallagher, and a scissors chatelain awarded to Mrs. E. N. Cress. The gentlemen’s consolation prizes were won by E, W. Adams and J. A. Hazelet,a dainty toilet accessory bearing the inscription, *‘Oh bow sweet you will find me wheD you have used met’’ An elegant repast was served at 13:30, which consisted of escalloped oysters, rolls, chicken salad served on lettuce, olives, chocolate, orange and silver cake, pistachio, ice cream, bon bons and coffee. Altogether it was a splendid social success and the guests all declare that tbe ladies were no novices at entertaining. A Birthday Party. Last Friday night, Feb. 10, Mr. and Mrs. Geo, McGowan entertained a num ber of their G. A. R. friends at their home at Leonia, the occasion being the 58th anniversary of Mrs. McGowan’s birthday. Singing G. A. U. songs, re lating army experiences and telling army stories were the principal amuse ments of the evening. At 10 o’clock an elegant dinner was served, at least that is what Comrade Moler said, but he was off his feed and therefore he did not en|of the dinner like be would under other circumstances. Comrade Hodgl^n was under the Charge of the post surgeon at that time and was ordered by him not to partake of the good things that the table afforded, but when the bugle announced dinner, like all good soldiers, he. obeyed the last order first, and the result was he had to be taken home on a stretcher, Capt. McGowan was a little more careful, he also being on the sick list at the time, but it was necessary to call on an United States ambulance to take him home. There was a large number present and the all enjoyed themselves. Following is a partial list of those present, with their regiment and number: T. Simmons, Company B, S3 Wis consin. D. Moler, company B, 88 Ohio. M, Hubby, company C, 44 Iowa. J. Hubby, company G, 24 Iowa. H. Hodgkin, company K, 18'Mass achusetts. S. Bedver, company 4, 50 Indiana. R. E.

"It is to be hoped,” said King of Thk Frontier to Doc Mathews, fighting editor of. the same journal, "that, for the sake of the manufacturing industries of the state, the present legislature will not discriminate against the ballet cos tume.” “What” said Doc with a hor rified expression o’ershadowing his comely phiz, "class of manufacturers are benefitted by the ballet?” “Manufact urers of tong£” said King. And the fighting editor still ponders.—Stuart Ledger. Investigate Them. Why js it that our farming population is so susceptible to the schemes of the various traveling men that flood the country with their numerous schemes from the patent l’ghtaing rod and pat ent gate man, to the latest and greatest fraud, the traveling grocery man. This smooth individual plies his vocation ex clusively among the farmers and never tries to sell his second and third rate groceries, from a line of first class sam ples, in the numerous cities and towns which they make their headquarters, although many of the dwellers in towns ceuld use groceries in large quantities as their farmer friends. It seems that all that is necessary to get the confidence of many people is to come from gome foreign point, show some fine looking samples, quote a low price on one or two staple at tides and give the home merchant fits. Then they are willing to buy goods they have never seen, from firms they have never seen and take their chances on getting what they order, or something else. And when the sleek traveling man has got their cash trade they do not hesitate then to go to their home merchant and ask for credit or any other accommodation they may need. Why not compare prices on large lots with your home merchants, who are willing to sell you goods as cheap as any fakirs, who often have only the cost of samples invested in their business and who buy their goods after their orders are received. If you could get as good goods for less money there would be some reason for sending your money away from home, but this you cannot do and we, the undersigned, guarantee to prove it to you if you take the pains to compare prices and goods.

RUN DOWN BY A SNOW PLOW Canght in tho Act of Crossing the Short Lino Two Miles last of O'JToiU. The Pacific Short Line snow plow carried n horrible sight into O’Neill yesterday about 1 o'clock. It was the remains of two boys from Inman, Nute McCleary and Will Moore, aged respectively 31 and 38, who had been tun over and mangled beyond all recog nition about 3 miles east of this city. Sheriff McEvony and undertaker Biglln at once took charge of the remains, and found papers in the pocketrf of the rem anents of clothing by which they were identified. The pieces of humanity were gathered in blankets and carried into the freight room of the depot, after which the engine ran down to Page to get Coroner Skelton to hold an inquest. It was an awful sight. Blood and pieces of flesh were smeared over the engine and caboose, and it was unnecessary to see the remains to tell how well the work was done. They were literally cut to pieces. Heads, hands and feet being mixed together lh one sickening whole. How the accident happened is not exactly known, but It is supposed the boys were attempting to head tbe train off on the crossing. Chas. Wright, the engineer, says he did not see them until they were almost on the track and at that time tbe hotses were on the run. This statement is quite plausible, as at the place where the accident occurred the track takes a northwesternly course, and tbe engineer on a west bound train, being on the north side, could not very well see a team coming from tho south, especially considering that he is hem med in on all sides by a mammoth snow plow. It would appear that tbe buggy was directly in front of the engine, as there are two large holes in the plow, said to have been caused by striking the hubs of the vehicle. The horses were torn loose and escaped unhurt. The deceased were highly respected citizens of Inman, where their parents, now reside. engineer wright pulled tbe train and Mr. Cbamper was conductor. Besides the regular working crew, Master Mechanic Roope, Roadmaster Sheely and his assistant, E. E. Blondell, were on the train. Coroner Skelton arrived in the city last evening and at once impaneled a jury in the case, whose verdict we give below: State op Nebraska, ) Holt county, * J B8‘ At an inquisition holden at O'Neill, in Holt county, on tbe 15th day of February, 1893, before me, H. A. Skel ton, coroner of said county, upon the bodies of W. E. Moore and N. C. Mc Cleary lying dead by the jurors whose names are hereto subscribed, the said jurors upon their oath do say that W. E. Moore and N. 0. McCleary came to their death in Holt county on the 15th day of February, 1893, at about 11 o’clock a. ic., through the accidental collision between a carriage in which they were* attempting to drive across the Sioux City, O'Neill and Western railroad and an engine being operated on said road, and we further find that tbe operators of said engine are in no way responsible for said accident. In testimony whereof the said jurors have hereunto set their hands tbe day and year aforesaid. Attest: B. S. Gillespie, H. A. Skelton, Foreman,' Ed F. Gallagher, D. A. Doyi.e, Arthtr Mtllek, M. M. Sullivan, Michael Cavanaugh The fathers of the two boys, Messrs. Moore and McCleary, were in tbe city last evening and took a last look at the remains at Biglln’a undertaking rooms, where they now lie. We have been unable to learn where the funeral will take place, but are under the im pression that it will be at Inman, near which place their parents reside.

Some time last week Qene Ciess, be of the cotton sock, received an invitation to attend a high five party to bo given by the club of the silk-stockings. This may not appear strange, and perhaps it isn't, but it caugbt Gene with a depleted wardrobe; so depleted in fact that he had no pre sentable pants, and he mailed his re grets in language something like this: Owing to olroubistanoes over which I have no oontrol, I regret to be unable to attend high-live at 8:80. (t HA VS WO PASTS,> after diligent search amongst the clothiers of O’Neill I am enable to procure the same. Yours, eto., Buoana Cams. The ladies took this as they should, good naturedly, and immediatedly sent these words of condolence to "Gene the pantless." A panter went panting about In O’Neill, His pants were all ragged and run down at the heel; Invaln would he borrow,In vain would he buy, The tailor couldn't make 'em,hla friends were all shy. He regards our’lnvltatlon with an Inverted glanoe. The long pantless panter who Is panting for pants. Listen to us, what we tell you to do; Steal Bryon O’Lynn's, for our hearts pant for you. In the meantime Gene had procured a new pair of trousers and embraced the opportunity to accept the invitation, in this way: Bryon O'Lynn, you remember, had' no pants to wear, So be bonghta goat skin to make him a pair. By your advice I have stolen the same. And will be at tbe party and take a hand In the game. Thus,1 with the advice you so freely advance, 1 hope nover more to be caught without pants. This diplomatic correspondence will no doubt be preserved by relic hunters and authorities on social ethics. » If the Minnesota legislature passes the bill prohibiting the wearing of hoop* skirts, we presume it will be necessary to appoint inspectors of female apparel, and for chief of that brigade we nom inate “Ananias."
