When a girl allow* a fellow to put on his overcoat without assisting him, it is a sign that she doesn’t want him to come back any more. Boys and girls should therefore be careful. There are many railroad rumors afloat these days. The latest is to the effect that Donald McLean is again about to take charge of the Short Line and that he will push it on toward Den ver this summer. Why not have a bicycle club in O’Neill this summer. We have more wheels here than any other town of our size in the state and we surely ought to have a club. Get together boys and talk the matter up. California hams, nice chipped beef and boneless bacon constantly on hand. I also a fine lino of fancy bottled pickles and relishes. 41-2 O’Nkilp Grocery Co. This city has • been in darkness the past three or four days, as they have been moving the electrict light plant. Our citizens will fell more like appreci ating the lights when they are again started. They expect to have them running tonight. The smiling countenance of Jake Hershiscr can once more be seen in Corrigan’s drug store. He commenced work again last Saturday morning aftei a vacation of three week. The many patrons of that store will be pleased to see Jake reinstated in his old position. Are we going to celebrate the Fourth of July in O’Neill this year? If so, it iB time we were doing something as the time is getting short. Get together and talk the matter over and let us prepare to have a grand celebration here this year. — We have the finest thing out for hold ing gasoline or kerosene in 5 gal. lots, no waste, no leak, no evaporation, no pump, no faucet. The siphon can is just the thing. 41-2 O’Neill Grocery Co. Will Adams came home from Stuart Sunday morning, where had been acting as cashier of the bank there during Mr. Bowring’s absense. The ladies of Stuart will, no doubt, miss his smiling countenance. We would like to call the attention of our street commissioner to the dilapi dated condition of our sidewalks. They need repairing and at once. Some one is liable to get hurt and then the city will have a lawsuit upon its hands. Fix the walks by all means. On April 80, 1893, at the third quart erly meeting of the Minneola and Pad dock charge the Marquette chapel near Blackbird postofflee will be dedicated. Rev. D. Marquette, presiding elder, Rev. Gnrst and other prominent min isters will be present. The atteptfon of the public is especi ally invited to the lecture by Prof. Hunt on Rn intensely interesting subject. Don’t forget the date, Tuesday, April 25, at the M. £. church. Excellent music will he furnished. Tickets 25 cents; children under twelve years of age 10 cents. Edgar Thomyson has sold his swift horse, Demonstrator, to D. Schillinger of Spokane, Was. Robert Murray, Mr. Bcbillinger's agent, was in the city Mon day and shipped the horse Tuesday. Demonstrator is a daisy as fine horses go a'nd will make Washington flyers hustle to keep the belt. When it warms up you will want a nobby straw bat and you can find just what you want at J. P. Mann’s as he bas just received a new line of the nicest goods to be found anywhere. He also has the best line of neck wear in the county, and a beautiful assort ment of shirts, collars, cuffs, etc. C. P. Defiance and family left yes terday morning for Boone, Iowa, where they will make their future home. Mr. DeLance and his estimable family have made many friends during their resi dence in this city who are sorry to see them leave, but wish them prosperity and happiness in their new home. The Misses Katie and Lizzie Cavan augh entertained a number of their friends at their home on Monday even ing. Dancing and cards were the prin ciple features of amusement. It was one of the largest and merriest parties held in this city for some time, and everyone present enjoyed themselves, as they always do on such occasions at i the Cavanaugh mansion. Beautify your lawns by planting trees next Saturday. If thev are planted on Arbor day, next Saturday, they will grow better, ns Secretary Morton now bas charge of the weather and he will furnish the moisture. There is nothing that enhances the yalue of your prop erty more or adds more to its appear ance than trees. Plant trees by all means. 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. Parnell Golden, Secretary of L. T. L. An Old Besident Gone.

Feeling deeply grateful to the many friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our beloved husband, father and brother, we de sire in this public manner to express to you our heartfelt thanks and to assure you that your kind.ness shall never be forgotten. ^Irb. G. W. Jones and Family. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cleveland. Annual Town Heettlng. Thn annual town meeting of Grattan township met as per adjournment in the court-house last Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

TH« WAHDBRIKO MOW. » 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 taths 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! .1 — (Mason. 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.” Death of In. Perry. PERRY—In Yankton on Monday. April 10,1898, Grace Ackerman Perry, wife of A. L. Perry, aged 18 year*, 11 months anil 10 days. Mrs. Perry’s term of residence In Yankton has extended orer lust two months, but she possessed womanly qualifications and Christian traits of character which attracted friends to her, even In so short a time. She came from Albion, Neb., to Join her husbaad. agent for the Hesperian Nurseries com pany, and has made her home with Mrs. 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 peaceruuy into tbe preicnce of the Qod ■he professed to know. Her demise Is 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 found among strangers many who ap preciated her goodness and loved her. —Yankton Press.
