Mr. and Mrs. Firebaugh, of Osmond, were visiting friends in this city yester day. During the two-and-a-half years that J. W. was agent of the Pacific Short Line here no man made more friends than he did and they are always pleased to see him in the city. , J. D. Liken, county treasurer of Rock county, who has been under arrest for embezzling 17500, was brought down yesterday by Sheriff Harris and placed in jail at this place. His trial will come off this term of court, the case having ! been transferred to this county. The M. E. church, of this city, is making arrangements for some first-class lectures in the near future.

Miner, Judge Bowen officiating. These young people are both residents of Stuart and are quite well and favorably known in that neighborhood. The Frontier wishes the'young couple much joy. Jim Smith took his little girl, whose eye was injured sometime ago, down to Omaha last Sunday for treatment. The injured eye had to be taken out, although the specialist said that if be had seen it sooner it might have been saved. Mr. Smith returned Tuesday evening and the patient is expected back next Sunday. The resignation of Mr. DeLance has caused a great scramble for the place and it Is really surprising the amount of gall displayed by some people in pre suming to think the plum can be knocked with their abbreviated poles. The Frontier does not care who gets the appointment, providing he is worthy and a good republican. Chan DeLance, deputy clerk of the district court, will to-day hand in his resignation and go at once to Boone, Io., at which place he has a half interest in a large retail boot and shoe store. His family, however, will remain here until spring. During his sojourn in O’Neill Mr. DeLance has made many friends who will be sorry to learn of this in tended change. “Old Rome,” says the Stuart Ledger, “never presented a more enthralled audience of gladiators than did Ensan guined Holt last week when Crawford, the modern Spartacus, addressed the Caputians in the ampitheatre at O’Neill. As his voice rolled out in duded sock Cadence, the phonograph recorded as follows: “Ye call me chief, and ye .do well to call him chief who for two con secutive times could bamboozle the denizens of Sandy creek into thinking he was a reformer.” The close of this to be histoiic gaseous escape was clothed in the following language: “If we must kick the bucket let it be like bold, bad men with one hand on the treasurers neck and the other in his funds.” “Iuto the funds or bust,” , was the in spired cry of the listening gladiators as they followed their leader in his quest for the county’s gold. They blew down the postern, frightened the combination off the portcullis but were met in front of the safe by the Roman, Scott, and bis doughty warriors armed with slap sticks. The onslaught was fierce but Crawford was not the Spartacus of old, and he and his band were flung from the dizzy heights of the court-house wall into the slough of despond, where they still lie wallowing—unmourned and un cared for.” The following check wee presented at the First National bank, at Hartington, last week for payment, and from Its import we guess the drawer to be a member of the alliance: "Pay to the order of W. L. Schremp one.dollar In full of all accounts, notes, debts, de mands, dues, damages and losses from the marriage of Adam and Eve to 13 of the clock, midnight, February 18, Anno Domini.” The drawer was a business man of Hartington. The O'Neill man who went panting for pants And for effect turned poetloal hard, Was Indeed out of shape For anything “great;” In a fix that though amusing was hard. Now It .suspenders the poor cus had wanted And bad so Informed his acquaintances fair They'd huvo obeyed his behest If he’d mind their request. “To be sure and return them with care." As It was, relief appeared dear out of sight. The future looked barren and bare. When with an air that was ''fetohlng” And a grip that was “catching” He got out of the soup by stealing a pair. —LLxdoir. A man that it so base as to refuse the dying request of his wife—to go and see her before she leaves this world of care and sorrow, although they had not lived together for some time—is un worthy the name of man. Such a thing has happened, and right here in our midst. Can it be possible that we ate going back to the ages of barbarism? We trust not. Some day this thing—we cannot call him man—will be lying on his death bed. He will cry for some one to come and stroke his fevered brow, to soothe his aching heart. He will recent but it will be too late; his con science—if be has one—will smite him his punishment will be heard but he will have to bear it for he brought it on himself. ._ The Oakdale Beacon Light, speaking of Antelope county’s delinquent tax list says: “How many men are there in Antelope county who are foolish enough to say that the county should charge twenty cents to the poor tax payer for advertising his land for sale, and then rob the. printer of fifteen of that twenty cgnts in order to create n sinking fund which is not authorizeiAy law?” These words come from a good and able inde pendent paper and are perfectly har monious with the views of The Fron tier. Independents in this coanty who last fall so heartily maligned and sland ered the printing committe should set apart a few moments each day to ponder on the mattei.. P. J. McManus returned from Chicago last week and every day since new goods has been arriving for him. One of tbe pencil pushers of this journal dropped into his store yesterday and found Pat and his clerks busily engaged waiting on numerous customers. A little lull occurring in the rush he took advantage of it und began to show us some of his goods. One of the first things shown us was what is called pussy-cat print; it makes a splendid ornament and will afford the children much amusement. Next came the Colnmbus egg puxzie, and a good puzzle It is. Call in and ask P. J. or one of his clerks to show you one and see if you can solve it. It will be worth your while to try it. Then his line of dress goods, why it is simply grand, and he has the finest line ever brought, to this country. For the first time in our life we were almost sorry that we were not a married man so that we could have made our wife happy by bringing home a beautiful dress for her. Then in shirts he has all kinds at all prices. When you need anything in any of the lines we have mentioned be sure and call at McManus’ no matter whether you buy or not he is always pleased to show you his goods and guarantee you good prices. onto winning. Sioux City, Io., Feb. 37.—The Pacific Short Line bridge, begun three years, ago and suspended by financial reverses, is to be completed at once. It will be sixty feet wide and cost over 91,000,000. It is expected to be completed Novem ber 1. The Pacific Short Line 'is also getting ready to push westward Irom O’Neill. Its first aim will be to get connection with the B. & M. road near Dunning, Neb..which will give the road a line into the Black Hills and the Bur lington a new line to the Missouri river. Negotiations looking to this have been completed. The ultimate object is to make the Short Line a new route into Denver. Ogden and the Pacific.—Omaha Bee. _ Attention, Farmers!

I ■sett's Battlement With the Btata. The arreat of Treaaurer Scott, of Holt county, which is claimed to be the re sult of a difference between himself and the commissioners, is a reminder that over 933,000 is due the atate from that county.—Lincoln Stale Journal, Sunday, Peb. 19. 1898. The above, figuratively speaking, was true at the time it appeared, yet at the same time it Is misleading, and has crea ted a false impression which has been scattered broadcast by the enemies of the treasurer, political and otherwise! The facts in the case are, that Scott wke ready to settle with the state on or about the 10th of February, but the alliance chairman of the board of super visors, who is also chairman of the set tlement committee, refused to sign up the records so that the settlement might be made according to law, and hence the above report. Even after the board had met and accepted the report of the settlement committee on Scott, the chair man still refused to affix his signature, Scott finally getting a certificate of the records from County Clerk Buttler In order to make the settlement and stop interest, $184.15 of which had already accrued while the board was filibuster ing. This interest will eventually come out of the county as the treasurer ex presses a determination to collect it by law if he'is not otherwise re-imbursed. Following is a receipt from the atate treasurer to Mr. Scott showing the amounts paid into the various funds: Lincoln, Ned., Feb, 38,1898.

Nichols on South Locust street last evening at 8 o'clock Mr. Albert B. Newell, of O’Neill Nebraska, and Miss Polly P. Nichols were married, in the presence of a select party of friends, Rev. R. H. Sparks, officiating. The World is un acquainted with the groom, but can sav to him on behalf oi the young poeple of Pittsburg, that be is carrying away one of its most popular young ladies, whom all wish a bright and happy future.— Daily*\Vorld, Pittsburg, Kas., Feb., 28. The groom has resided in this city the past eighteen months and has a host of friends here who wish him and his bride a happy journey through life. Mr. and Mrs. Newell are expected home the latter part of the week when they will go to housekeeping in their cottage on Walnut avenue. The Frontier joins their many friends in wishing them much happiness. A Double Header. There may be flies on you and there may be flies on me, but there are no flics on John Crawford. When there is money in sight for him he is as active and alert as a kid of ten pursuing the fleeting pennies. January 17, last, he appraised a piece of land for which be put in abiH and got his money, as is evidenced by the following receipt: , O’Neill, Jan. 21, 1893. Received of Barrett Scott, treasurer, 84.80, for appraisement of 16 -38—15. John Crawford. Of course he is entitled to pay for his service, but in looking over his bills, filed for work rendered as supervisor, we find that on February 15 he filed a bill for bridge w.ork January 17, 18, 19 and 20; mildage 85.65, total 817.65. Now it mav he that the nature of the country is such that he could stand on a bridge and view the farm, but certainly while viewing the farm he could not examine the bridge to see whether it was put together with six-inch spikes or shingle nails, or whether the piles were of oak or sections of the artesian well. Look at it in the most favorable light possible and the fact cannot be overcome, that one of the two jobs suffered, as it is a well established fact, and one that Mr. Crawford cannot successfully contradict, that no man can do two things at the same time and do them both well.
