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.

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. CEREALIA, The new breakfast food. Ask your grocer for it. Epworth League Keating. At the meeting held by the Epworth League Tuesday evening the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, Miss Rosa Meals; 1st vice-president. Ora Bowen; 3nd vice* 1 president, Miss Laura Meals; secretary, John Ashton; treasurer Earl Bowen. For delegate to the district convention to be held at Oakdale, April 18, Romaine Saunders was elected. Reso lutions were adopted changing the hour of devotional meeting from half-past six to half-past three every Sunday afternoon. Three new members were taken in. The Epworth League in this place can he made productive of much good if all will get together and work. All the members are urged to come out to the devotional meetings and bring others with them. Come one, come all. Everyone is invited to attend and will be cordially welcomed. J. T. Ashtoh, v ( Secretary. t "v \‘ .‘-.'V', -■-.r ‘ 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. CEREAUA The New Breakfast Food. Palatable, wholesome, anti-dyspep tic, indorsed, recommended and used throughout Europe. Now introduced into this country. Ask your grocer for it. Once more O’Neill has a band. Several of the boys got together last Tuesday evening and perfected an* or ganization. They elected the following officers. President and treasurer, R. R. Dickson; vice-president, G. W. Smith; secretary, Harry Uttley. The boys are making arrangements to secure a good teacher at once. This organization has formed for the purpose of staying to gether and giving O’Neill a good band, and we see no reason why we cannot have one.

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. »Q MAlTSCOLUmr.

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.
