A young man talks with pleasure, an
old man talks with ease; the orator
talks as some men walk, a six-day go-as
you please. The preacher talks of sius
and things, of hell’s eternal fury; the
lawyer hurls his jawbone at a mad but
helpless jury. Thus each one talks and
talks and 'talks, each one of his own
speach proudest, neglectful of the pain
ful fact that money talks the loudest.
J. W. Hall, living six miles south of
Inman, was In the city Saturday and
made this office a short call. Mr. Hall
informs us that the recent cyclone
touched bis place and tote down his
windmill, carried away purl of his wa
gon, unroofed his sheds and twisted his
house badly. He also informed us that
all of the buildings on the Van Scheetz
farm were also destroped. We should
be truly thankful that the storm was no
worse and that no lives were lost in this
county.
It begins to look as though O’Neill
will get no new hotel this year. Ar
rangements were almost completed for a
$15,000 building, but when it came to
buying the lots the land owners shoved
their'prices away up above the clouds
and the man with the $15,000 refused to
go up that high for the land and the
cosequence is that the hotel will orob
ably not be built. It seems strange
that the men who ought to be the most
interested should throw stumbling
blocks in the path of the city’s progress
and developcment.
Kid King left for Lincoln Tnesday
morning, where he went to try and in
duce Gov. Crounse to furnish the
O'Neill militia company with uniforms
and arms and have them go into
the Nebraska national guards. The
Fremont company dropped out a few
days ago and the boys here «re anxious
to get ini and take their place. The
company here has been filled up and is
now composed of about fifty men. We
hope that his journey may be success
ful and that the boys will be supplied
with arms and nice new uniforms.
Then woe unto the hostiies that dare
invade our borders.
Last Sunday a number of young men
assembled in the Methodist church to
select a delegation to attend the fourth
annual conference of the Y. M. C. A.
of the Fremont district to be held
at Neligh, Neb., Aplil 21, 22 and 28.
The delegates chosen wrere O. R.
Bowen, W. N. Lowrie and R. D.
Saunders, and it is expected that a num
ber of others will accompany them.
The object in sending a delegation is'
to get a thorough understanding of the
workings of the organization, what is
required to organize and report at once,
and should the report be favorable ar
rangements will at once be made for the
organization of an association at this
place. _
£ The Frontier was right in regard to
Bannon last week. He was not drowned
as reported. John Harmon, of this city,
received a letter from him which was
written at Mitchel, S. D., and was dated
April 13. How the report happened to
g6t into the daily psess is not known,
and various theories are advanced. In
formation from Running Water, S. D.,
is to the eifgpt that no person was
drowned in the river there at the time
reported. Bannon is expected home
the first of next week and he will have
an opportunity of reading his own
obituary notice—published in some of
our contemporaries—which is some
thing but few men can do. He will be
the recieptient of numerous congratu
lations for his safty upon his return.
Workmen excavating a cellar in Corn
ing, Iowa, a short time ago, came upon
an interesting memento of some long
forgotten race. The workmen struck
what at first appeared to be a solid ledge
of rock, or coal, and sitting down to
rest one of their number began to idly
peck at an apparent fissure, when a
solid block nearly two feet square dis
appeared with a dull thump. The men
set eagerly to work, and, removing the
bottom of the pit, discovered a chamber
with a 15 foot ceiling, and 13x20 feet in
extent, the walls being of neatly seamed
stonework. Ranged in rows, on rudely
constructed platforms, were skeletons,
each with a tomahawk and an arrow at
his side, ear-rings and brackleta of lead
lying where they were dropped, and
piles of what appeared to have been
furs in the center of each platform, each
pile crumbling to dust as soon as ex
posed to light. A number of tools made
of copper were also unearthed, and
fresh discoveries are constantly being
made. _
An interesting session of the Loyal
Temperance Legion will be held at the
school-house next Saturday. All per
sons interested in this work are cordially
invited to attend. All persons coming
will be entertained.

I've wandered, I've wandered (or thoumnd*
of yours, as I'll wander for thousand! of
years;
I've inolstoned with teardrops the sands of
the south, and the snows of the north
know my tears;
A pitiful doom Is the doom that Is mine, to
wander forever and aye,
TUI the waves cease to heat on the shell
laden shore, and stars cease to beam In
ti.n alii, ,
Through hinds In the east and through lands
In the west to Journey for ever and roam.
And pray t<w a heaven that hears not my
prayer, flPr a couch and a roof und a
home!
To face the wild blasts of a borean realm, to
roam through the rain and the dew—
TUI the journey of time Is all ended und done.
Is the fate of the Wandering Jew.
Though rugged the roads that my sore feet
must know, there aro roads far more
rugged and harsh;
Aud mortals are treading these highways to
gloom, through forest, and morass and
marsh;
I've seen them. I've seen them for thousands
of years, go forth with hilarious tones,
And anon I have seen at the end of the road
the ravenous wolves gnuw their bones;
They start In tho Hush and glory of youth
pursuing a fatuous light.
That glows Tor a time In the gray of the dusk
and dies In the black of the night;
And, lost In that blackness, they struggle
and die, where the vapors are darksome
and blue—
•O, better to wander for ever and aye, as
travels the Wandering Jewl
Away in the punt, In th.e doud, dreary past,
to a hamlet I wandered one night;
ThrouKh the open door way of a glided saloon
the lamp rays were gleaming so bright:
And there stood u youth In the pride of his
health, bedecked with his Jewels all fine,
He laughed as he looked at his comrades
about and drank to their health In the
wine.
O, sweet was the smile on the face of the
fiend who dealt him the vintages fair.
As sweet as the smile of a siren that lures the
sailor to death and despair;
But said I: “You are treudlng the road to
a doom as fearful as man ever knew—
A fate that Is worse, vcs, a million times
worse than the fate of the Wandering
Jew!”
I roamed to the north and I roamed to the
south, and I trod In the east and the west,
And never ut night or In glowing of day
knew I but a moment of rest;
The years sped away, and one cold winter
night, once more that poor little hamlet
I saw;
And once more saw the door of the gilded
saloon, that hell with Insatiate maw;
And there at the bar stood the youth I had
known, but haggard and wretched and
wan;
The diamonds no more caught the rays of
the lamps, and the pride of his beauty
was gone;
And stern was the face of the fiend of the
wine, the face onoe so smiling I knew.
And I muttered: “O God, there are more
ruggedj>aths than the path of the Wau
I roamed to the east and I roamed to the
west, to the north and the south roamed
'Neath the sombre cloudB of a frozen realm
and the blaze of a copper sky;
Andonce again to that town remote I Journey
ed my winding way,
As the shades of night, like a sullen host,
drove thither thu spirits of day;
And the lights gleamed forth from the open
door of the fiend of the wine's saloon, 1
And a wretched wreck in a tattered garb lay
there In a Bensuless swoon;
The dust was thick where the gems hud been,
and the night wind as It blew
Swopt over a man whose fate was worse than
the fate of the Wandering Jew I
And the years flew on and I roamed again to
that hamlet by thu hill;
And the moon shown soft In a summer sky,
and sleeping the world and still.
A graveyard lay In my path and there a lone
woman knelt and wept,
A mother, whose weeping was all
t and wept,
»e weeping was all for one
who under the cold earth slept,
For one who stood In his bright array away
in the bygone years.
Who gave his health and his wealth and life
for the wine and a mother's tears.
As 1 moved away on my ceaseless rounds lit
the moonlight and the dew,
I said: “The life of that mother Is worse
than the life of the Wandering Jew!"
I've wandered, I’ve wandered for thousands
of years as I’ll wander for thousands of
years: j
I’ve moistened with teardrops the sands of
the south and the snows of the north
know my tears;
But happy my lot to the lot of the one who
kneels In the darkness and moans
O’re a grave where are resting, dishonored,
unsung, some unhappy wayfarer’s bones,
And better to journey as journey I do than
follow some fatuous light
That glimmers and glows in the gray of the
dusk and dies in the black of the night.
O, many and many a mortal who now la
beginning their sorrow to strew.
Might envy the one who Is roaming tonight;
might envy the Wandering Jew!

O’Neill’s new malitia company was
not organized for the purpose of sup
pressing John Crawford, the report to
the contrary notwithstanding.
"Beauty is only skin deep” remarked
a young lady Sunday night as she linked
arms with a coon and piloted him safely
through the many shady aisles of the
city.
It is a question in the mind of the
engineer of this department whether
the young lady who went out with the
coon Sunday night did it "just for the
novelty of the thing” or to "change her
luck.”
With the soldiers and minstrels in the
city the same week some of the boys
have evinced a little nervousness for
the affections of their best girls. They
kept a pushin’ and a shovin’ but they
couldn’t push those "clouds” away.
"There are a number of excellent
housewives who are not astute bankers
or able financiers,” says Town Topics.
"It is only a few days ago that the lov
ing spouse of—well I shall call him Mr.
Old Man—received a notice from the
bank where she kept her private account
that she had overdrawn the amount $150.
The lady went to her escritoire, sat
down and wrote an apologetic note to
the president of the bank, and begged
to enclose her check for $500, in order
that the deficiency might be made up,
and, as she added naively, ’the other
$350 that the cheque calls for, you may
place to my credit.’ She was annoyed
to have the cheque sent back, but she
has since taken a lesson in the laws of
banking.”

Mary Loifler on Douglas avenue. Qn
Wednesday last a son was born to Mrs.
Perry and her death resulted. The
death bed scene this forenoon was most
affecting. Mrs. Perry realised that she
could not live, and calling her husband
and friends to her. one at a time, bade
them goodby, and expressing her readi
ness to go. She took her Infant child
in her arms, wept over him and gave
him a mother’s final benediction. Then
she resigned herself to death and passed

an affliction of the severest nature to
her young husband and a cause of Im
measurable sorrow on the part of her
friends. Bho was a good woman and
