Notwithstanding the fact that Treas
urer Scott has—according to the inde
pendents -embezzled ail of the county’s
spare change, he continues doing'busi
ness at the old stand, paying warrants
and otherwise bisburslng large sums of
money. If he has embezzled the
county’s wealth, the question naturally
arises, where does he get the money to
carry on the business of his office?
Banker W. D. Mathews of O’Neill
was in the city several days last week.
He is a thorough devotee of both rod
and gun and has an inezhaustable fund
of reminiscense anent hunting in the
early days of Nebraska. At some future
time the tale of his adventures in the
Niobrara valley will be recounted in
these columns—particularly bis night

legendary Minnachaduza.—Sandy Gris

Our Ewing subscribers failed to get
their papers on time last week, for
which they may thank the courteous
and obliging Mr. Jamas H. Riggs, post
master at this place. In some way the
package was broken open, and instead
of tying a string around it and sendingji’t
Friday morning, he poked the package
into our postofflee box, to be discovered
after the mail had gone. It is by just
such measly little acts as these that
James has so .everlastingly endeared
himself to Uncle Barn’s patrons at this
place. _■
A petition of the World’s Women’s
Christian Temperance Union which Is
to be presented to the rulers of the
world at the World’s Fair is now being
circulated in this city by one of the
members of our local W. C. T. U, The
object of this petition is to obtain the
co-operation of those high in authority
in every nation in their praiseworthy
efforts to purify the world’s homes, and
it is requested by the ladies of the W.
C. T. U. that all to whom the petition
is presented will cheerfully affix their
signatur.es thereto.
The W. C. T. U. gave a parlor social
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Snyder
last Tuesday. evening. Mrs. Fisk pre
sided as toastmistress and the following
toasts-were responded to: "The work
of the W. C. T. U.,” Miss Linna Shell
hart; “The Public Schools," Superin
tendent W. H. Dudley; “The Church,”
Rev. N. S. Lowrie; “The Press," D. H.
Cronin; “The Seeley Institute,” C.
Selah; “The Temperance Woman.’’ Mrs.
Jeanette Taylor. The meeting was
largely attended and royally entertained
by Mr. and Mrs. Snyder.
Can the Independent tell the truth?
It doesn’t look that way. Speaking of
the settlement with Treasurer Scott
last week it says:
The independent members and two or
three others refused to adopt the report
as the final settlement, and these was a
hard fight made on the issue, but the
Scotty men were knocked out.
This is a misrepresentation, whether
willful or not we do not know. But
the facts of the case are that the “Scotty
men” wete not "knocked out," as the
tote stood for adoption of report 24
against 5. Our readers will find this
statement correct when the proceedings
sre published in these .columns next
week. '
, One of onr exchanges says that a
leading chemist has recently anaylized
a number of cigarettes which were made
by the best factories, and as a result of
investigation has sounded these words
of alarm: “There are five ingredients
in e\ery cigarette, each one of which is
calculated to destroy human life. First,
there is the oil of tobacco; next the oil
in the imported paner, which is almost
as destructive; third, the arsenic intro*
duced to make the paper burn white
and’add a peculiar flavor; fourth, the
saltpetre put into the tobacco to keep
it from moulding; and : fiually, the
opium that is sprayed on ths tobacco to
give it the insidious influence it
posse sets over the brain. Can you
wonder that the animal life of our
young men is killed with such a disease?
In the cigar or pipe we have bat one
poison—nicotiue—but that is not in
haled.”
Hr. Soy Talks to Lessinger.
F*ibview Township, Feb. 10, ’08.
Editors Frontier—If not imposing
on yotir time end (pace, I would like to
answer the letter in the Independent of
February 8,1803 It is without' signa
ture and we suppose' it came from the
editor of that paper. He says “if Mr,
Boy’s statements are true then Dayton
has no right to hold the position and the
township board should declare the office
vacant.’’Now that it the exact position I
take and 1, in company with Mr. Rlsor,
went to see the entire town board,
which consisted of two justices of the
peace only, that we may have a chanoe
to prove the truth of that statement,and
was refused the opportunity although
one of the justices thought that he,
Dayton, had to all intent and purpose
moved. We got our information from
the man that bought his house and slock,
and moved him away. The writer
claims that Dayton says that he had
rented a farm in Greeley county but he
had not moved from Holt county yet.
Dayton may have a few relics left here
which he is prepared to load as soon as
the next session of the county board
adjourns, and that Mr. Dayton claims
that his family is only visiting. The
facts are, when his wife left here she left
with the understanding that she would
never return to Holt county to live, as
her house and all the improvements
about the place were sold to Mr. Gilman
before she left, in October last, for the
consideration of 850. So if she con
tinues her visit until next centennial
that will not make a citizen of her and
family in Holt county, Nebraska. The
editor of the Independent to the con
trary notwithstanding. Now I will
inform the Independent that so long as
I remain in this township there will be
one at least always ready to expose an
Injustice and fraud.
I am, sir, yours with great respect,
L. P.Roy.

in Columbus last Thursday and Friday
and it was one of the pleasantest meet
ings of the association. The citizens ol
Columbus spared neither paint

the members of the association Friday
evening was a sumptous repast and wii
and humor flowed as freely as cham

truly say that Columbus is noted foi
two things at least, the number ol
beautiful ladies it contains and thi
hospitality of its citizens. They ai
returned home with many pleasani
memories of their trip.

"SCOTT AGMNARRESTBD
Polled This Time for Embeuling
$82000 From the Cooaty.
IT IS THE SAME OLD FIGHT
WtWod BnlimlMry Xxnminitlon end wu
Brand Oror in tho lam of 810000.
The board met last Tuesday and ot
course could not adjourn without per
secuting Scotty a little more, and It did
not take them long to find an excuso.
The settlement committee went In and
demanded to count the funds, but Scott
declined to grant them the privilege,
and hades was once more turned loose.
Scott based his refusal upon the fact
that the statute does not license a com
mittee to fumble over the county money,
but distinctly says in section 4055:
The county treasurer shall settle with
the board or county commissioners on
Wednesday after the first Tuesday
Id January, and on the first Monday
in July of each year, and at such other
times as tho board may direct, at which
time the county treasurer shall file with
the county clerk a statement showing
the amount of money collected since
last settlement, from wbat souice de
rived, and amount of moneys paid out,
and for what purpose, together with the
vouchers for same, the amount of taxes
due and unpaid, and the amount of
money oh hand belonging to the several
funds. * . * * *
Sec. 4Q56. If there be no session of
the county board at the-proper tikis
for the settling and adjusting of the
accounts of the county treasurer, it shad
be the duty of the treasurer to file the
list with the county clerk, who shall
examine saM list and correct the same,
if necessary, in like manner as said
board is required to do. * * *
This is the law governing settlements
and has been fully complied with by the
treasurer.
We fail to see anything that contra
dicts Barrett's views,‘but his ideas did
coincide with those of the independents
and county attorney, so Bill Hayes,
one of the radicals, signed the following
complaint drawn up by the county
attorney: * , , : ;
State of Nebraska, Plaintiff,
vs ' •* '•
Barrett Scott, Defendant.
Statb of Nebraska, Holt County, ss:
The complaint of W. F. Hayes, made
before me, Wm. Bowen, county judge
of Holt county, Nebraska, who being
first duly sworn upon bis oath says that
Barrett Scott, on the 15th day of Feb
ruary, A. D., 1893, in said county, being
tbe treasurer of Holt county, Nebraska,
and as said officer being intrusted with
the collection, safe-keeping, disburse
ment and transfer of the public moneys
belonging to said county, and by virtue
of his position as such treasurer, said
Barrett Scott did receive and hold the
public moneys of said county, and while
Said money was so held by him, he did,
then and there, fraudulently.unlawfully
and feloniously convert to his own use
and embezzle the sum of eighty-two
thousand three hundred ninty-seven
dollars and sixty-nine cents, of said
public moneys, the property of said
county. W. F. Hayes.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 17th day of February, 1898.
Ws. Bowkn, County Judge.
Judge Bowen immediately issued a
warrant and placed it in the hands of
Constable Lappan, who returned it with
the prisoner at 2 p. m. The judge sat
on the bench nervously sharpening a
lead pencil, defendant’s attorneys,
Messrs. Adams and Dickson, were
preparing legal papers, while Treasurer
Scott’s bald head loomed up in the
back-ground like footprints on the
sands of time. He Murphy was looking
up session. laws while the alliance
contingent of the board ranged around
the room eying him admiringly.
Crawford came in at 2:15, took oft his
hat and leaned up against the wall.
The outward workings of his face be
tokened that the inward storm was more
than he could bear. Attorney Murphy
read tbe complaint, after which Dickson
moved that tbe case be dismissed on the
ground that the complaint did not
charge a crime, but the motion was
overruled by the court.
• Upon request of Murphy defendant
was arraigned and when the Judge pro
pounded tbe momentous question of
“guilty or not guilty?” Scottie looked
at him fearlessly out of one eye and
firmly said “not guilty.” The defend
ant then waived preliminary examina
tion, the judge fixing the bond at 815,000
for his appearance at the March term
of district court. The bond was
promptly secured and that ends this
, chapter ot the tale, which is to be con
, tinued.
Our readers can and probably will
draw their own conclusions in regard to
this matter, but we are free to state that
Mr. Scott is doing justice neither to
himself nor his party if he permits these
outrages to go on indefinitely unre
buked. ' It is nothing more or less than
conspiracy, and' for that offence the
ringleaders should be required to
answer in court. The complaining
witness even has 820 wsgered that Scott
i will not finish his term, and the great
and mighty county attorney has offered
to risk wealth on the cast of the same
die. Oh, verily, they are a righteous
aggregation!

About 5,000 words in the English lan

include such important words aa honor,
virtue, gulf, month and echo. This cir

hard one.

< -
The funny men of Town Topic* pre
dict* that the crinoline will not again
be popular, and give*, among other*,
the following reason* for the belief that
is in him. "I hare confidence enough
in the vanity of American women to
believe the voluminous stuff will not
find favor here and will be but little
worn. The line from the hip to the
boot heel is prfsed very highly by the
native girl, I think, and if it i* not, it
should be. Perhaps there is nothing in
the whole physical splendor of a fine
woman equal to that active and elo
quent line. With the present fashion
of skirt drapery its most exqusite effects
are gained, and I think that the poet,
the sculptor and the religious man can
find no more admirable reminder of
women’s mysterious and tender charm
than is discovered in the eloquence of
that glimpse of the limb’s contour, in
crossing the street, in bending to catch
the hem of the skirt, in perching on the
edge of a chair and in floating over the
floor of the ball-room, it is with that
underline of herself that women en
trances. In crinoline this victorious
part of her will be lost to the world.
And I venture to say that, when it be
comes conscious that it exists in the
center of a huge balloon, far from gaze
of admiring eyes, it will become de
jected and uninteresting, torpid and in
firm. I think that women are thorough
ly conscious of the efficacy of that skirt
line, and will preserve it indefinitely. I
am sure that crinoline will not arrive.”
While we do not look at it—the subject
—in just the same way, we admit there
are some forcible arguments in the above
against the hoops. *
