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.

accepted a position in a general store.
Will is a steady and industrious young
man and we wish him success.

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.—

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

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.—

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.

Died, Mrs. A. T. 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.

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.

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

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*

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.
