J. I. King, of O’Neill, is Judge Kln
ksid’e court reporter. It seems strange
to see anyone but A. L. Warrick taking
down court proceedings in Rushville,
but Mr. King seems a very pleasant
gentleman.—Rushville Btandard.
Don’t fail to attend tbe opera house
Saturday night, April IS. The famous
Nashville students, the world’s greatest
I jubilee singers. The/ will please all
with their singing, dancing and special*
ties; all to conclude with their funny
j comedy, the "Cake Walk,” Don’t miss
it, get your tickets in advance.
Tbe concert given last night at tbe
rink by tbe Sixth cavalry band was
fairly well attended and gave general
satisfaction. There Is no question but
that it was the greatest musical treat
O’Neill has ever had. Tbe band
orchestra will furnish tbe music for the
ball tonight and tbe devotee of terp
sichore who fails to attend will never
know what be has missed..
Judge Klnkaid is with us again, hav
ing convened district court here Mon
day morning, and all seem glad- to see
him. It strikes us that there are but
few men who could preside on the bench
as long as Judge Klnkaid has in this dis
trict aud make so few enemies. In fact
we do not know of a single fair minded
man in Sheridan county who does not
hold him in the highest esteem. He is
always honest, fair and impartial with
everything that comes before him in his
eourt.—Rusbville Standard.
The grand parade which was adver
tised to-day in connection with the
Sixth cavalry band turned out to be a
grand fizzle. We don’t know who had
the matter in charge but it was certainly
a disgrace to the city and the fire com
pany. The band was all right, the
uniform rank Knights of Pythias was all
right. Liberty hose team was all right,
but the balance of the fire company was
burlesque enough to cause our citizens
to blush with shame. If the companies
could not turn out en masse they should
have been left out of the parade.
In reading of the new “horror," the
gown faced to the knees with erinolinc.
bear in mind that the crinoline alluded
to is simply the thin, slightly stiffened
material long in use for lining panels,
cuffs, cellars, etc., and not more than
half so (stiff .us the canvas with which
most gowns have been faced for a long
time. Hoop-skirts will hardly be worn
this coming summer; and though dark
hints are thrown out that autumn will
see a radical change in styles, the dire
prediction need not cause alarm.—From
“Easter Hats and Gowns," in^Demor
est’s Family Magazine for April.
The old and original Nashville Stu
dents and Wrights grand colored con
cert company will appear at the opera
house on Saturday night, April 15.
This is without doubt the oldest, largest
and best colored company traveling, and
should have a full house. Apyoue not
well pleased with the show after the
first part can go to the door and their
money will be cheerfully refunded. All
lovers of good singing, dancing and
specialties should attend. Now we are
getting a first class attraction and they
deserve a full house. Their funny
comedy, “The Cake Walk,” will make
all laugh. Get your tickets in advance,

Married, Tuesday morning at the
Catholic church in this city, Rev. M. F.
Cassidy officiating, Mr. Dennis Murphy
to Miss Nellie Dixon. The bride is a
young lady who has resided in this
county for several years and is quite
well and favorably known. The groom
is a brother of our county attorney and
is one of our most popular farmers, and
is well liked by all his acquaintances,
and is known as an honorable, straight
forward, progressive young man. The
young couple have gone to housekeep
ing in the house of the groem about 4
miles northeast of O’Neill. Thb Fbon
tibh Joins the many friends of the
happy couple in wishing them a long
and happy journey through life.
Any person visiting the city of O'Neill
can soon see who the republicans are
fitting for tbe fall campaign. Little
Hank and Johnnie Weekes stand watch
ing a chance to hug and kiss any voter
belonging to Holt countv who happens
to come to that place. Quite a scheme
for Johnnie resigning from the corrupt
able reign of tbe Scott administration.—
Ewing Advocate.
Again do we find verified the state
ment that it is necessary to go away
from home to lenrn the news. It is a
little early in tbe season to talk politics
again but The Fhontiek has no kick to
register against either of the above
named gentlemen, although as far as
Johnnie |\Veekes is concerned it does
not believe he wants' to be treasurer,
nor does it think he would accept the
nomination. If Little Hank wants to
be sheriff again he probably could get
the nomination,* and. as usual, the
election.
A RBGDLAROLD TWISTER
A Rather DoatraetWo Cyclone Viaita
the City of Page.
NO ONE FATALLY INJURED
Tha Chambera Valley and tha tenth Fork
Country Alao Tialtad.
Tuesday evsnlng a cyclone passed
through the southern part of this
county. The first report of the storm
that was beard in O’Neill came from
Page, th?y having telegraphed to this
city for a physician. Shortly afterward
a telegram was received from Inman
also asking that a physician be sent
them as there were some people Injured
by the cyclone which bad passed
through there about 3:40 that afternoon.
Dr. Eiseman went to Page and Dr.
Gilligan to Inman. There was no heavy
wind at this place, although It became
so dark that lamps hiid to be lit in ail
the stores. The dense darkness was
followed by a heavy rain storm. The
Short Line train, which is due at 9:80 p.
M., did DQt arrive until 10 o’clock yester-*
■day morning, being detained by a
wreckage of some box-cars at Page.
The storm struck Page at about 4
o’clock in the afternoon, coming from
the southwest, and was about 50 rods
wide, altho'tgh the space of the storm
where the most damage'was done was
about 50 feet wide. In Page there were
three houses destroyed, five barns, a
feed-mill, six box-cars - belonging to the
Short Line and the new creamery which
had just commenced business a few
days ago was twisted all out of shape.
The feed-mill, which set alongside the
railroad track on the south, was lifted
up and set over on the north side. The
house of Mr. Wagers, a brother of Sam
Wagers of this city, was destroyed.
Mrs. Wagers and two children were in
the house at the time and were slightly
injured. Robert Gray’s house was
moved about 30 feet. His stable, in
which his horses were tied, was picked
up and carried away and the horses
uninjured. Part of his farming tools
and wagon box are missing and it is
supposed they are still sailing with the
clouds. 8everal other minor buildings
in Page were more or less injured. The
damage to property in that place is
estimated at $4,000.
Southeast of Inman the wind also
did some damage. About 5 miles from
Inman there resides a colored man by
the name of Hill. He was in the bouse
at the time of the storm and it picked
up the house with him inside and bore
> them away. Shortly after the storm
had passed some neighbors found him
about 20 rods from where the house had
stood. His left leg was broken above
the knee, his right foot was mashed
and he was otherwise badly bruised and
injured. As he is about 70 years of.
age it is doubtful if he will recover.
The Thomson and Sunnyside school
houses near Stafford were also destroyed.
There was school in both these buildings
at the time and the children escaped,
there being but two or three who re
ceived slight scratches.. The buildings
were completely-demolished and boards
from them wero carried a mile or more.
The houses, barns and sheds of Miner
Riley were also destroyed, as were the
buildings of Dan O’Donnell. The storm
traveled northeast from Stafford in a
zigzag course. .
In the Chambers country the houses
and buildings of Dudley and Eli Lewis
were completely destroyed and carried
away, as was also the La Rue school
house. .
This has been the worst storm that
has eyer visited this county, in fact
the first cyclone, and our people have
reason to fell thankful that it was no
worse, as there were no lives lost.

Last Friday afternoon Kid Cronin and
Jess Mellor started for the reservation.
At we had never been over to Boyd Co.
we had a longing desire to see the
country of which we had heard so much.
We left thia city at about 1 o’clock,
croaaing the Niobrara at Whiting’s
bridge we turned down the river and at
about 7 o’clock we arrived at the home
of George Mellor, a brother of our com
panion, where we put up for the night.
Jess was taken sick on the road over
and shortly after stopping for the night
he was forced to go and seek repose.
The next morning we were up bright
and early and we drove up to Lynch.
This is a neat little town situated about
eight miles from the eastern line of the
county, and Is In a good farming coun
try, it being on Ponca creek. From
here we drove up to Spencer where we
had dinner. Here we met several for
mer O’Neill people. This is a nice
town situated In the center of a good
farming country and has some good
substantial business houses, and is com
posed of a set of good, live business
men. After dinner we drove up to
Butte City, the eountv seat of Boyd
county. Judge Marshall, of Fremont,
rendered hit decision in the contest case
a few days before and as it was in favor
of Butte City, the citizens had selected
that day to have a grand blow out,
and they had sent several invitations
abroad. As we drove into the town we
must confess that we were surprised at
finding such a good sized town out upon
the prairie and to see so many people
upon the streets. They had a reception
committee appointed te receive their
visitors and we were soon taken in
charge by the president of the day,
Samuel C. Sample, and several mem
bers of the receptlonucommittee, includ
ing r. S. Armstrong, of the Gazette, Az
Perry and Price Jamison. We were
taken to their new school building
wherein they had four large tables spread
with tempting food and three or four
score of people were busily engaged in
disposing of it. In the evening they
hcld a ratification meeting in their new
hall, which had just been erected, and
speeches were made by H. M. Uttley, of
this city, A. L. Tingle, of Bassett, and
John Mosher, of Butte, who were the
city’s attorneys in the contest case, also
by Samuel C. Sample and M. T. Row
land. Taken all through they had a
very nice time and the business men of
that city did their utmost to entertain
tbeir visitors and make them feel at
home. It is our opinion that Boyd
county has a bright future before her,
as has also the town of Butte if she can
secure railroad connections with O’Neill.
The soil over there appears tO: be all
right and the county is pretty well
settled.

WAS BANNON DROWNED
Lon Bannon of O’Koill Raportad

REPORT HOT CORROBORATED.
*ka fraatlar IaTMtlfktM laaagk to Koto

Cur citizen* were surprised end
shocked last Saturday to see a special In
the World-Herald from Runnlngwater,
S. D., stating that on Thursday, (April
6), Lou Bannon of South Dakota and
another man who could not be identified
had been drowned while attempting to
cross the Missouri river at that place,
contrary to the wlshea and advice of
old and experienced rivermen. The
conclusion was at once Jumped at that
it must be our Louie, as it was known
that be was In that vicinity, haying left
O’Neill on the 5th Inst, with the inten
tion of visiting Tyndall, S, D., on busi
ness. As he has no relatives In this
oounty no. special effort was made to
verily the report other than to closely
scan the various dailies for some, cor
roboration, but as none came The
Fhontieb instituted an investigation of
it* own which makes things look decid
edly queer. We first sent the following
telegram to the Niobrara Pioneer:
O’Neili,, Neb., April 11,1898.
Pioneer, Niobrara, Neb.: Wire us
particulars of Bannon drowning of
last Thursday. Frontier.
The following reply was received:
Niobrara, Neb., April 11,1898.
Frontier, 0’Neu.i., Neb.: Have
heard of no drowning in this vicinity.
Ed A. Frt,
Considering that Niobrara is but
across the river from Runnlngwater,
the above reply looks rather queer. It
does not seem possible that two men
could be drowned within sight of the
city and no one know it; but fearing
guck might be the case we, knowing
that, Bannon had intended visiting
Tyndali, S. D., sent the following dis
patch to the Tribune of that place:
O’Nkiui,, Neb., April 18,1893.
Tribune, Tyndai.i,, 8. D.: Was Lou
Bannon drowned in the Missouri Thurs
day? Frontier.
This is the reply:
Tyndali,, 8. D., April 18,1898.
Frontier, O’Neiu,, Neb., Bannon
waff here last Saturday and Monday.
Tribune.
This information only serves to deepen
the mystery. It will be noticed that he
was reported drowned on the Oth, while
the above information says he was in
Tyndall on the 8th and 10th, four days
after his reported death and three days
aster the notice appeared in the World
Herald. Now if these dates are correct,
and they seem to be, it is very plain that
Bannon is not dead; and if not, why the
report? We have given the tacts and
»ur readers may draw their own con
clusions.

And now the nlmrod loads ble gun and fills
his flask with liquor stout,
Then hies him to the rippling lake to put the

But the chances are, before another sun baa
risen,
He returns again, his system foil of rheuma

One of our exchanges laments the
fact that some 70,000,000 Europeans
wear wooden shoes. We do not see
why this circumstance should throw our
sympathetic brother into convulsions,
considering the fact that all of the
actors on this worldly stage must, make
their exit in wooden overcoats.
The perusers of this column will no
doubt remember the gentleman who
last winter kept the wolf from his door
by plying the baker’s trade in this city,
and later in the season surprised some
people by taking unto himself a bride
from the tenderloin district, known to
the sports as "Miss Minnie," and re
membering this incident, will not be
surpiised to learn that he has since
committed suicide by shooting; and all
on account of his unrighteous consort
quitting bis bed and board for larger
cash and other inducements offered by a
fresh sucker, captivated by ber good
looks, smooth talk, winning ways and
constant movements.
Man’s life is a game of cards, first it
is “cnbbage.” Next he tries to "go it

contrary to Boyle, "beate the little
