D. W. Forbes, of the Citizens State Bank, of Butte. and W. T. Wills, an attorney of the same city, were In O'Neill Tuesday nnd favored this office with a pleasant call. Fred Herre, who will be remembered by many of our old citizens as an old O’Neill boy, was visiting friends in this city yesterday. Fred is now located at Hooper and is doing well, a fact we are (.leased to note. Mrs. S. C. Sample'and daughter, Alice, of Butte, have been in O'Neill the past few days the guest of Mrs. Ed Gallagher They leaye in the morning for the world’s fair city, where they expect to visit a month or two. C. P. DeLance arrived in this city Sunday evening and visited his family Sunday and Monday. Chan informs us that he is well pleased with his new location and expects to remove bis family there in a few weeks. It is with pleasure Thu Frontier this week calls the attention of its readers to the enlarged ad of our pop ular blacksmith, Emil Sniggs. Mr. Sniggs is a wide-awake business man and understands the value of printers' Frank Anderson, who runs an exten sive cattle ranch on Dry creek, last week received from Lincoln a herd of fifty thoroughbred Galloway cattle. They are beauties, collectively and in dividually, and without doubt the finest aggregation of bovines that ever came into the county. Ed. F. Gallagher and his sister,.Mrs. T. Birmingham, left last Friday morn ing for Darlington, Wis., being called there by a telegram announcing the dangerous illness of their father. A telegram from there stated that he died last Sunday and was buried Tuesday, lie was over 80 years old. Will Kinkaid resigned the position he has held in Mann's store the past five months and left thin morning for 8ioux City where be will visit for a few days, and then go to Valentine where he has accepted a position in a general store. Will is a steady and industrious young man and we wish him success. Frank Mills has been appointed super visor of Green Valley township, vice, 8. J. Doud, resigned. Frank is a compe tent, intelligent man, of many years residence in Holt county, and the Graphic predicts that be will represent his township in a manner satisfactory to bis constituents.—Graphic. Elmer Merriman returned Saturday night from Omaha, where he went to purchase some new machinery for his bottling works, and get a few new ideas on the work. As soon as bis machinery arrives he will proceed to manufacture delicious temperance beverages in the latest and most approved style. If the business men of O'Neill will prod up their enterprise a little and create a small fund to pay the expehse of printing, Tnn Frontier will print a small folder descriptive of O’Neill and Holt county and see that they are mail ed to 10,000 eastern farmers who are now renters. This is the way to advertise. _ 8. J. Doud, long and favorably known as one of the mest enterprising farmers and worthy citizens of Holt, loaded bis personal effects yesterday, and left on the midnight freight for Kansas. While regretting the removal from Western Holt of such an estimable citizen, The Graphic, in common with his wide cir cle of friends, invoke for him and his, all the fortune kindly nature has to be stow upon the worthy and deserving.— Graphic. __ . Dr. Farrington, of tbe Morning Side sanitarium, specialist in woman’s dis eases, Rectal Diseases, Nervous diseases Obscure'Diseases and those who have been treated a long time without per manent cure, especially solicited. t Her nia cured without pain, operation or detention from business.

Ladies entrance to ball. First room up Itairs, examination free. 37-1 Jake Hershiser was the victim of a genuine surprise party last Saturday night,‘at the residence of his parents west of town. It was Jake’s 28th birth day, and we opine neither he or the guests will soon forget it. The evening was very pleasantly spent, bb are all evenings at tbe Hershiser farm. About midnight the guests departed, but not before Doc Mathews, in behalf of the company, in. a neat little speech, pre sented Mr. Hershiser with a beautiful ring as a slight token of their esteem, and wished him many happy and pros perous returns of the very important event. Saint Patrick’s day was appropriately observed and celebrated in O’Neill this year as it always is. In the evening the Academy Dramatic Company presented' at the rink that popular Irish drama, ■’Iunlsfail,” or the “Wanderer’s Dream,” to a large audience. The play was well rendered and netted the academy about #ldO, ___ J. A. Harmon, of O’Neill, Neb., who graduated with last years law class, visited in the city the early part of the week. Mr. Harmon was the first presi dent of the University Democratic Club, which position, together with his genial personality won him many friends, both among the students and citizens. While in the University he took advantage of every occasion to preach good demo cratic doctriue, and we are pleased to say that notwithstanding the recent magnificent success of the democratic party he still indulges in the habit.— Ann Arbor Argus. The women’s polyglot petition has now been signed in more than 40 lan guages and has millions tf names. Is will be on exhibition at the world’* Columbian exposition, 1893, in Chieago, from the first of May to the last of Onto •ber, in the temperance department. If the names were written one under an other the petition would be not lest than twelve miles long. Lady Henry Sumerset, of England, and Miss Francis E. Willard, of America, wltly a commission of white ribbon women, will go with the petition to every civilized government within two years after the world’s fair. (station agent Dobbs of O Neill, was in Atkinson last evening, making arrangements to put on the boards at this place a “Grand Expose of the Hid den Mysteries of Secret Societies," which will bo rende/ed at this place about the 28th inst. by the home talent of O’Neill. This is said to be one of the most laughable and entertaining plays ever written. A dance will probably be given after the entertainment for the benefit of the Atkinson Eire Depart ment.—Graphic. The “Ancient Order of Hercules" is indeed a laughable and entertaining production. It is worth going many miles to witness the awful ceremonies of inintion, superintended by such stars as Grand Hiankidink Towle, Chief Custodian of Dispatches Mernmaq, Principal Musician Grady and Rat Thompson. All of the characters are represented by artists, but those men tioned are particularly good, and if the company decides to go up the road the good people of Atkinson may well sew an extra button on their waistbands. Grand Opening. Of spring and summer millinery, Saturday, March 25/ at Mrs. S. G. Nichols. ___ 87-1 Easter Monday Ball. The Liberty Hose Company will give a ball on Easter Monday evening, April 8.

Potter it the realder.ee 9f her daughtet in O’Neill, Neb., March 18,1608, in the 00th year of her age. Mra. Potter was born in Hecter, Schyler county. New York, where ahe lived until after her marriage in 1854. In 1855 ahe removed with her huaband and one child to Juneau, Dodge county, Wisconsin; thence, in 1808, they removed to Boone, Io., and into Nebraaka in 1881. Four children were born to them —two aona and two daughters—three of whom aurvive her. Mra. Potter waa the child of Chriatain parenta and early yielded to religioua impressions, and at the age of 18 entered into covenant with God through faith in Jeaua Christ and the confession of his name. She was through all her life faithfhl to that covenant and she found a continued strength and comfort in the promise and help of God. In all her sorrows ahe preserved quiet and patience and oame out of the sorest afflictions in a sweet ness of disposition and firmness of faith that made her presence a delight to all about her. In the afflictions of others she was a moat sympathizing helper, ever ready to sacrifice herself for others. She waa a ministering angel wherever she waa. A quiet and patient sufferer for many months, ahe ever shrank from complaining, or any expression that would distress others. . And when at last the final hour came, she. gently fell Into the slumber of death, Lovely and beautiful in her life she was so in death. It was hot with sorrow of those without | hope that her loved ones and her friends consigned her to the last resting place.' Her future was now the paradise of God. Sadly as her helpful and ever cheering presence will be missed by those left behind, there is joy in the thought of her happy presence with the Liora. The funeral services were held in the parlors of the Evans house Monday afternoon at 2:30. The following rela tives were present from abroad: Fred Potter, son,from Glendille, Mont.; Rev. J. E. Chapin, brother-in-law, Neemab, Wis.; Mrs. D. C. Van Astraed, sister, and Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Crossett, brother-in-law and sister. The funeral ocurred at 3 o’clock and the remains were fallowed to the grave by a large circle of friends and relatives. The Frontier extends its sympathy to the relatives and friends. #*# The City Eleotion. Interest in city politics has warmed up a little since our last Issue, although there is not as much interest manifested as in prior elections. Although there are but one or two nominations filed with the city clerk up to date, and by the way this is the last day, it is author! , tatively announced that Thos. Carlon and R. R. Dickson will oppose each . other for the mayoralty. There is no l question of public' policy before the people and the contest for this office will probably not go beyond that of good natured rivalry. They are both good men for the position and the race will be a close one. For city clerk George Clark and N. Martin are in the field. David Adams is the only candidate for city treasurer heard from up to date. Ben DeYarman seems to have no oppo sition for alderman in the First ward and Fred Gatz is meeting with the same success in the Second, while Sam Wag ers seems to have brought peace in the bloody Third. We understand he will have no opposition. We have seen or heard of no petition nominating a police judge, but have beard the name ot E. H. Benedict fav orably mentioned in that connection. Mr. Benedict would make an excellent official. Hr. Hum’* Spring Opening. O'Neill has many business enterprises of which she is lustifled in feeling proud, and foremost among them is J. P. Mann’s general merchandise estab lishment. His spring opening, which ocurred last Saturday, was a complete success and was a credit to our town as well as a source of satisfaction and profit to Mr. Mann. _ The store room and show windows were beautifully and artistically decorated with merchandise of the latest styles and best quality fresh from the markets of the east, and'every e&ort was made to make things pleasant and profitable for his customers. A piano, presided over by skilled artists, lent its charm to the occasion, and its mellow tones mingling with the murmer of many voices, while perhaps not making a harmony profound, bad a pleasing effect and was appreciated by the callers. For Sale. 65 bead of choice Galloway cows, in calf by registered bull. One yearling Galloway bull, also stock cattle of all ages, in numbers to suit purchasers. Time given on bankable paper. Frank Anderson ft Co. O’Neill. Neb. 87-tf MO HAira OOIVKM. "Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o' orloollne? For crinoline, my deareat dear. For circling orlollne, 1 Wo’U take a hoop of blgneaa yet, For orlnollne." One of our faehlon exchanges said “bustles are a thing of the past," and then a funny man on a contemporary laconically remarked that they always were “somewhat behind.” A long suffering people In this com munity would call down many kinds of blessings on the head of President Grover If he would only give them a good postmaster. Give them some man who would esteem it a great favor to accOmmodaJte the petrous of his office; get up earl/'in the morning to be cour teous >nd obliging. One who would not keep a person standing' out In the cold; dreary world, a prey to pneumonia and mad dogs, just because it hap pened toabe 9 minutes before the legal timo to throw open the front doors. Give them a man who would smile -and look pleasant when they ask for their mail and not say there Is nothing for them when there is, and one who will write out a postal note or a money order any time during business hours and not tell them to “come around to morrow." In short, give them a man capable of realizing that he Is the ser vant and not the master of the people. "At fight they called him Wllliej At twelvo they called him Will i At sixteen he wax nilly; At twenty just plain Bill., Uls mother 'Wlllled' him always, Her strong love to evlnoe: His father willed him nothing. And he's been billed ever since." Dame rumor has brought to the ears of this department a story of a young : married man in O'Neill who last week let his amorous instincts get the better of his horse sense and lead him into trouble. It is the same old story. The woman Was true to her hymeneal vows, the irate husband appeared upon the scene, the young man was summarily bounced and he’s never gone back. "A publisher who 'picked up the trade’ ” says the South Sioux City Demo crat, "on making up the forms for the first time got a marriage and a grocer’s notice sand witched so as to read:’’ "John Smith and Ida Quay were united in the holy bonds of sauerkraut which will be sold by the quart or bar rel. Mr. Smith is*an esteemed codfish at 10 cents a pound, while the bride has many bams for sale at a shilling a pound. Rev. Brown officiating ’’ “Judgment day will have come and gone, And days of yore come back, When there's a sailor on the stage Whose name is not 'just Jack.'" Last week’s Frontier contained an article written in perfect biblical style and exceptionally bright and well-timed. That Thb Frontier should produce , an item of exceptional brilliancy is no surprise, but the style, think of it; where did they find it? That’s the question that is agitating the' mind of this truth ful abserver.—Stuart Ledger. m vi 111 i/vuipnujviii to a a rcuco lion on the morel character of the en gineer of thie department, to say noth ing of the pain it gives his pride to have it even intimated that he is a Btranger to the etymology and phrase ology of holy writ and other ancient lore. But we forgive him. Perhaps there wae some grounds for surprise at seeing an article in this department; that indicated any knowledge of mat ters spiritual or divine, or even good; but it happened in this way: The above mentioned engineer was sick. It seemed as though all the pains which torture animate things had congregated in bis system to resolve that the ani mal kingdom was on the verge of moral, financial and material ruin. He even grew delirious and in those waking dreams the devil and bis angels gathered around his lonely couch and beat the tom-tom and filed their pitchforks and discussed the probabilities of his being too green to burn nicely. The unright ueous acts of his younger days came trooping through his feverish fancy in batalions, many of them with jags on, and respectfully saluted his satanic highness, who greeted them warmly and smiled sardonically as the little imps tugged at the bed-clothes and plucked our eyes out, and laughed a maudlin chuckle as they said, “hie 'ow Mg old man?" But in time his faoulHwl re turned and he opened his parched lips and asked that a bible might be brought unto him, and when it was placed in his hands he immediately commenced to read and read for three days and refused to eat or drink and could not be comfort ed and at the end of three days he arose and wrote the article in question; a sort of an inspiration as it were, and the engineer was transformed into a wiser, albeit a sadder Kid, who trusts this ex planation will be satisfactory to the doubting brother. j Dlatrlot Court. Several Important caaea have been tried In the dlatrlot court the peat week, Judge Kinkald preaided laat week. One ot the moat important caaea waa the •tale of Nebraska n. John 0. Hayea, ax-treaaurer of Grattan townahlp, for embezzlement. The eaae occupied two days, and owing to the bungling manner In which It waa handled by the county attorney, the Jury, after being out about 10 minuter, returned a verdict of uot guilty. Murphy abould raaign hla poal tlon aa he la no more qualified for county attorney than a child. The following caaea were Mao die* poaed of: E. W. Adamava. G. T. Baated'o, ear* diet for the plaintiff for $979.80. B. T. Montague va. John Hoyt et al., dismissed by plaintiff. Hiram M. Van Every va, Obarollette M. Van Every, decree of divorce granted. Hanna Gibbona va. H. 0. McEvony, continued by requeat of defendant. F. 0. Kulnsh va. Henry Ttenken, civil action, verdlot for the plaintiff for $8,605.07, State of Nebraska vs. J. D. Llkeu, i ex-treasurer of Rock county, for em bezzlement, occupied three dayi of this, week with Judge Bartow presiding, The case was left to the. Jury last night at 10:80, and after four hours dellhera* tlon the/ bropght In a verdict of not guilty.. There was considerable interest In the case and able counsel for bothy sides. Llkene had been In Jail about eighteen months awaiting trial. The verdict gives general satisfaction here as public sentiment was with the defend* ant. . . .-A;. The two casee of Holt county ys. A, 3. Meals for embeaalement were brought up thla morning and were dismissed by the county attorney. They might as well be dismissed for what good he - could do in prosecuting them. The court excused the Jury at noon and they will not return unless called for. Words of Praise. The following letter was received some time ago by Postmaster Meredith* of South Sioux city, according to the Democrat of that place. The South Soo Meredith Is a brother of Joe Meredith of this place: Wasbixgtox, February 15,1808., « I desire officially to recognise the important service you have rendered ae postmaster under the administration of President Harrison.
