Floyd Spencer, a former resident of
Hoi; county, but Into of Iowa, was in
the city visiting friends tho fore part of
the week.
James Gallagher is now employed In
McManus* store. James is a good boy
and we predict will make a flrst-class
salesman. _
Oh, ladles! have you seen those new
spring cloaks at McManus’? If you
have not you should do so, they ate the
latest out and are just beautiful.
It is passing strange bow some people
delight to rush into print at the slightest
provocation, just to show their flue
"Italian hand.’’
The Independent force should take 3
or 4 years off, at their own expense, and
learn the printing business. At the
expiration of that time they might dis
cuss ordinary pieces of job work with a
slight degree of intelligence. '
If you want to get green tibbon for
St. Patrick’s day, go to McManus’.
Last week Mrs. Shanner tendered her
resignation to the school board as a
teacher in our public school. Miss
Lowrie was placed in charge as teacher
pending the meeting of the school board
when a teacher will be elected to fill the
vacancy. _
It tbe Independent editors had a little
of that substance, generally known as
brains, "smeered” artistically around on'
tbe inside of their skulls they probably
would cease to uncoil that proverbial
rope in which they so hopelessly en
tangle themselves every time they open
their capacious maws.
Do your trading at McManus’, When
you have bought $25 worth of goods he
will give you a line steel engraving,
36x32 inches, which retails for $5.
John M. Graham * left Wednesday
morning for California, where he
intends to make his future home. John
was known to some of the people of
this county as “Sambo Sunflower,” and
now that he has departed for the land
of fruits and flowers, he will uo doubt
be able to blossom and shine in all his
glory. Wo wish him prosperity in his
new home. _
Tbe Independent sarcastically alludes
to the “inhabited portion of Eid King's
cranium." This certainly is a vile and
uncalled for remark, but at the same
time, it may be true. The city has been
afflicted with divers kinds of pestilence
of various degrees of virlulence since
the Independent editors walked into
town, and we suppose it is no more than
right that Kid King should uncomplain
ingly bear his share of the community’s
misfortune. _
Kid King has been confined to his bed
the past week. He was taken ill while
performing his duties as inspector of
“internal improvements,” the position
be was elected to by Bro. Wertz, with
the hearty endorsemp*n of McArthur
and Gen. Bates. We learn that Wertz
is sick also, and we are not surprised,
for King told us that he made Wertz his
deputy,and we thought it a wise selection.
Resign your offices boys and you may
regain your health.
John A. Harmon, who left this city a
little over two years ago to go to Ann
Arbor University to study law, returned
to O'Neill last Friday a full-fledged
lawyer, and intends to make his future
home among us. John is a youug man
full of grit and energy and has good
ability, and we predict that in a few
years he will be counted among the
ablest lawyers in the state: Tub Fkon
TiRit joins his numerous friends in this
city and county in wishing him success.
The Independent attempts to sneak
out through a knot hole on the printing
question by asserting that the stock they
used in printing the rules is worth 93
more than that we would have used.
Lessinger may be able to make some
people believe that rot, but a man with
any intelligence at all could see at a
glance that the paper would not cost
over 33 at the outside. How then, in
■the name of John Crawford, could we
save $3 by substituting a cheaper grade
of paper, which certainly would cost
something? _
‘ Last Saturday n!ternoun several
officers of the Short Line arrived in the
city. They were here to see if our
citizens would assist them in trying to
modify the railroad legislation pending
before the state legislature. A meeting
of our citizens was held Sunday after
noon and it was the sense of the meet
ing that the residents of Holt county
were opposed to stringent railroad laws
as they believed that it would be a
detriment to railroad building and we
need more building in western Ne
braska. The following' gcntlatneu left
on a special train for Liucoln Sunday
evening: M. F. UarriDgton, T. V.

For thousands of years woman, as
wife, mother and sister, has wondered
at man’s loro of mystery, and the words
“been to lodge” has been the excuse of
the late hours of the husband and
father. But the end has come. The
curiosity of all may be satisfied by at
tending the unmasking of one of these
societies at the rink on Monday night,
March 18. The most skillful artists in
the nation have been secured to present
| this work to the public; their long asso
ciation with secret societies, as well as
their constant practice as actors, is a
guarantee of the realistic presentment.

* Below we give the letter from Melville
D. Landon, of New York, to Q. C.
Hazelet, mentioned in these columns
last week. This is a very interesting
communication, and more particularly
so on account of most of our renders
having heard the gentleman lecture,
and are cognizant of the fact that the
ideas be advances emennte from a brain
made fertile by cultivation and obser
vation in every clime under the sun,
and when he speaks he speaks words or
wisdom.' From his letter also will our
people be able to comprehend the ad
vantage our chicory factory is as an ad
vertisement. In the course of two years
Mr. Landon will have spoken of it in
the four quarters of the Union. He
takes a pardonable pride in this factory
as it was through him that Mr. Hazelet
was first awakened to the possibilities
of this country in that direction, and
instituted an investigation, with the end
of which we are all familiar. Mr.
Landon says:
Feb. 30. 1813.
My Dear Mb Hazebet—You cannot
imagine how delighted I am to get your
note describing the first chicory farm in
the Uuited States, and that located at
O’Neill. ,
l nave tnea ute samples of chicory,
you seat me, and they are equal to the
best French or German chicory.
Our wealthiest New Yorkers prefer
their coffee to be made with one-third
chicory. Delmonico uses .chicory to
give a rich flavor to coffee. The best
hotels in Paris do this.
In an ordinary family where there are
children and women, coffee made of
one-half chicory is just as palatable and
far more healthful than pure coffee.
Coffee is a stimulant—a nervine. It
makes people nervous. Chicory, while
it tastes like coffee, is soothing. It is
food and drink like cocoa.
As soon as i get time I am going to
publish your letter in the New York
Bun; and call the attention of the whole
world to your O’Neill enterprise.
I am now interested in having Ne
braska, Kansas and Colorado raise rice.
It is a short crop and can he raised in
north countries. All it wants is irriga
tion. It is raised on the top of the
mountains in Japan and North China.
They raise wheat on the same land in
winter, then sow rice in rows about a
foot apart and irrigate. It needs no
hoeing. The water kills the weeds,
while the rice thrives. Nebraska land
capable of irrigation will raise 50 bush
els of rice per acre, worth $2 per bushel.
If our farmers would raise 15,000,000
more sheep; 88,000,000 worth of chicory
and $200,000,000 worth ot sugar, there
would be no surplus wheat crop for the
conntry would absorb the crop. With a
home market wheat would be worth
$1.50 a bushel. It is unwise to send
corn and wheat to'Europe to buy sugar,,
chicory and wool.
Yours very truly,
Mei.vri.ls D. Lanpon.

Kid King, sick in bed, sends greeting

The supervisors are swearers from
Swearersville. One of them came into
court auct swore that Scott had felon
iously and maliciously embezzled
$88,000, and then came another swearer
of swears in the mandamus case and
swore by his whiskers and everything
that was ever aware by, that Scott had
in the vaults $83,000. and that he
wouldn't let the board count it. First,
they swear he had stolen the money, and
next they swear he had not. It is little
wonder that the action of these swearers
make the whole county swear.
And it came to pass In those days that
the county’s vaults were filled with gold
and silver and precious stones and
myrrh and frankincense garnered in
tithes from the stores of the children
of Holt and given into the hands of the
Roman, Scott, that he might them guard
that no thief break in and steal, or any
imposter false of heart by oily words, or
color of law, which same there was
none, get them in possession and un
lawfully keep the same and place them
in the hands of the scribes and false
prophets to waste in riotous living. But
in those days there was a common
council who ruled the whole country
and built many bridges that their pock
ets might be filled with shekels for the
labor thereof; and this council, in which
there were many hypocrites and un
righteous and wildcats in jack rabbits’
hides, was forthwith notified by the
chief bugler to congregate in the syna
gogue, and the people stood amazed
and mere sore perplexed, and spake they
one unto another, saying; “what now
will become of our treasure, which is In
the vault, when they crucify the Roman,
Scott? V„erily, verily, these are stirring
times!" And when the council had as
sembled then, John, whose sirnatne was
Crawford, lifted up his voice with a
derrick and placed under it a mighty
stack of mileage bills, that the same
might not fall, and said unto the multi
tude: “What are we here for?” And
they answered and said unto him,
“verily, verily, we are congregated in the
temple to devise ways and means te
sack the vaults and stone the Roman,
Scott, to the gates of the city and giye
him forty-nine kicks.’’ Whereupon
John, whose sir name was Crawford,
again lifted up his voice and his disci
ples held it up while he spake unto his
chosen follower, whose sir name was
Hayes, and said: “it is rumored among
the publicans that you have wngered
jewels and piecious stones with the
Gentile Roscoe, whose sir name is
Coughlin, that the Roman, Scott, can
not hold his job; therefor aro you
chosen to give audience to the great
and mighty iaw-giver, He, whose sir
name is Murphy, and bear false witness
against the Roman. Scott, and we will
deliver him over to the officer and cast
him into prison. And the disciple,
whose sir name was Hayes, appeared
forthwith before the lawgiver. He, whose
sir name was Murphy, and spake as he
was bid, and straightway the Roman,
Scott, was delivered into the hands of
the constable who took him before the
judge and the rabble cried, “crucify himl
crucify him!” But the judge was sore
afraid and sent him forthwith to the
court of the district, which in those
days Was a higher court, and the judge
thereof was a just Judge and wiser than
the scribes and chief priests and he
spake unto the constable and bade him
unchain the Roman, Scott, and his
chains were removed and he stood up on
one foot and winked one eye at the law
giver, whose sir name was Murphy, and
departed on his way rejoicing and the
council was sore perplexed and hired
mighty men, who girded up their loins
and smote them with staves and there
was great rejoicing among the Godly,

District court convened last Thurs
day with Judge Klnkaid on the bench.
Several equity cases were disposed of
last week. On Monday the jury arrived !
and the criminal cases were taken up
with Judge Jackson on the bench. The i
following cases were disposed of:
State of Nebraska vs John Brady and
Howard Miller, dismissed for want of :
prosecution. *
State of Nebraska vs H. Q. Balus was
continued on the appllcrtion of the
defendant.
State of Nebraska vs S. W. Conners,
by consent appeal dismissed, and judg
ment made against sureties for line and
costs of prosecution.
State of Nebraska vs John Marley.
The charge was assault with intent to
commit murder. The jury returned a

The Sun last week published a some
what lengthy dissertation on the ever
seasonable subject of Scott and the
county’s money. Whether this ‘‘con
stipation of Ideas and dysentery of
words”—as Charlie says—was original
or not we are not here to publicly an
nounce, as it bore foreign earmarks, al
though it was published as original mat
ter. Besides filling up a little space and
displaying someone’s egotism it did not
amount to much more than one of Lea
ainger’a editorials. After intelligently
sifting the subject to the bottom, throw
ing aside the many untenable positions
of the author, all that remains is a few
cords of cap I’a.
