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. Prof Hunt

follow. When arrangements are com

Married, Thursday morning March 3.
1803, in the office of the county judge,
Mr. Wesley J. Jillison to M<ss Niva M.
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.

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

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.

Sioux City, Io., Feb. 37.—The Pacific

getting ready to push westward Irom
O’Neill. Its first aim will be to get
connection with the B. & M. road near

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:

At the home of Mrs. J. H. 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.
