Mr. Moshier is a prominent young attorney of Boyd county. The Frontier con gratulates. _ As will be seen by a notice elsewhere in this issue, A. B. Newell has pur chased the Emporium of Or. Truoblood, and will continue business at the old stand. Mr. Newell is a first-class busi ness man and The Frontier wishes him success._ Dept. Sheriff McBride rested his port ly and manly figure in Stuart one night last week. He had a pair of handcuffs in his pocket and it is authoritatiely stated that he was hot upon the trail of the fiend who is afflicted with the "is it hot enough for you?” habit. The 50-yard foot race between Miles Gibbons and Dime Short last Saturday was witnessed by a large crowd and was quite exciting. Short won by a couple of feet. The race resulted in another match, between Short, and King to be iun on the 10th for a purse of 9100. Treasury officials state that the treas ury is prepared to supply all the small currency wanted and the lack of such currency in certain sections of the country is accounted for on the theory that much of it is being hoarded by those who receive it, thus withdrawing it from active circulation. Walt Keeler has moved big barber shop from Atkinson and is now located in this city. He has his shop in Smith’s grocery store where he is prepared to meet all his old friends and patrons. His prices are: Shaving 10 cents; twelve shaves for $1. Hair cutting 25. cents. __ A party of young people, about fifty in number, drove down to the palatial residence of Michael Gallagher last Monday evening to have a moonlight picnic. Various games were indulged in for the amusement and pleasure of the picnicers. An enjoyable time was had by all. _ Tiib Frontier has on exhibition at this office an Indian arrow head, made of flint, which, it is said, was found in the head of the Spencer serpent., The arrow head is of regulation size, about 4 inches long by 1$ wide, tapering off to a murderous point. It was sent to this office by Orland Blits key, of Pleas ant Valley. _ Harry Hileman, the bachelor editor of the Ewing Democrat, was in the city Wednesday evening. As thi's-is the first time Harry has bean In O’Neill for a year we are of the- opinion that some of the fair school mams that are attend ing the institute from Ewing are the cause of his visit. We acknowledge a pleasant call. Otto Richter, of La Porte, Ind., ar rived in the city Monday night on a1 business and pleasure trip combined. Mr. Richter is an old friend of the Mor ris’ family, having located in Holt county with George Merritt and Tom Morris in 1884, taking a homestead, and removing east again after making proof. He will prove up on a timber claim; while here. _ ■ S. M. Wagers and wife, of O’Neill, were over in this part of the kingdom this week on a hunting trip. The coun try and town pleased them so well that Mr. Wagers contracted for the Coleman building on Main street, and expects to locate and engage m the grocery busi ness here in about sixty days. We bid them a hearty welcome to Butte.— Butte Gazette. The Kms of The Frontier have been immortalized in song by Kautzman, of the Independent, who imagines that the mantle of Mother Goose has fallen upon him.—Graphic. Not immortalized, but made tempor arily notorious. The Independent couldn’t immortalize anyone or any thing, unless perhaps, it were the im maculate gall, impenetrable ignor ance and partisan bigotry of its editor. Now that John Harmon is booked for the land office the question arises as to whether or not M'eHugh can secure the postoffice. The appointment of Har man will indicate that the straight dem ocrats are in close communion with the powers that be and that the door is open for half-breeds to bunk with the independents, with whom they have been hobnobbing for years. Self-sealing fruit jars and jelly glasses now for sale, at hard times prices. 4-3 O’Neill Grocery Co. Langdon, the man whose voice was heard all over town during the races of July 1, blowing what a better be was, passed through town this morning with his wife, they having been to Wheeler to replevin the running horse, Prairie King. He now claims that the horse belonged to his wife who replevined it, although Langdon himself gave a bill of sale for same. It remains to be seen what the law will do with him.—Fairfax Review. The lawn'social last Friday night, at the residence of Dr. Morris, for tlic benefit of the Episcopal jdiurcb, was pronounced by those in attendance, a very pleasant affair. A platform dance was one of the principal attractions and greatest source of amusement. The proceeds were in the neighborhood of 840. _ A little misunderstanding over the purchase of a pair of shoes at John Murphy's shoe store created a little ex citement Thursday night. A couple of itinerant dagoes attempted to work the establishment and got a few black eyes for their trouble and paid in a few dol lars to the city treasury. Mr. Murphy was also arrested but upon trial was acquitted. _ An accident, occurred on the Pacific Short Line last Saturday evening which delayed the passenger three hours. When a half mile below Orchard the rod connecting the front drivers of the engine broke and swung arround in the air, cutting ties, digging holes in the ground along the track and stripping the side of the engine, for a distance of about 40 rods before the train was stopped. The only damago done was to the engine which was badly wrecked. It was reported here Monday that the Farmprs and Merchants bank of Bassett had failed, but it seems to have been a false report. A Bassett special to the Omaha Bee of the 8th inst says: “The cashier of the Farmers and Merchants bank of this place claims that It has not failed but is closing-out the bank as it was not paying expenceB. They are paying off all depositors in notes and very little money, as they claim they have no money and have taken this way of saving their depositors.” Miss Theo Hall, formerly of this city but now a resident of Medical Lake, Wash., has been appointed postmistress at that place by President Cleveland. For the past five years Miss Hall has been editing the Medical Lake Ledger which she recently sold in order to assume her duties in the postofficc. The Frontier and her numerous friends here congratulate her on her success. Although she never voted for Grover she got the poBtoffice. The Frontier, which is recognized abroad as the only newspaper in O’Neill, last Friday received a telegram from Tony Cornelius, of Kearney, stating that they had a man there who would wres tle Doyle for $300. Mr. Doyle, how ever, declines to make the match on account of being overweight and not having time to go into training. We would like to see Gus go against the Kearney man as we don’t believe there is a wrestler in the state who can give him the worst of it in a catch-as-catch can match. The funny column in a local news Daper is a treacherous thing to handle. It is supposed to be a reservoir of wit, fresh, sparkling and appetizing. It may be borrowed, stolen or made at home, but its palatabilily depends much upon the collector’s discrimination and versa tility. Of our exchanges conducting readable columns may be selected the Wayne Democrat, Creighton Courier and O’Neill Frontier. The “Sermonizer,” “Ecurb's Column’’ and “No Man’s Column” have a breezy flavor, and on the whole are agreeable features of these newspapers.—Randolph Times. The prohibitionists held their county convention in the M. E. church in this city last Saturday. ReV. B. Blain was elected chairman and N. S. Lowrie sec retary. The following ticket was then placed in nomination: Sheriff, Samuel Beavers; county judge, Bartley Blain; county clerk, L. V. Humphrey; county treasurer, D. M. Dow; surveyor, M. Miller; coroner, D. O. Lockhart; super intendent, Mrs. L. H. Blackburn. Rartley Blain was elected chnirman of the county central committee. The following were elected delegates to the state convention: N. S. Lowrie, W. C. Evered, B. Blain, D. L. Pond and Mrs. J. Taylor. _ An editor died and slowly wended his way to hell. The devil saw him and said: “For many years thou hast borne the blame for the many errors the print ers made in the paper. Thy paper has failed, alas! for subscriptions never were paid. Thy printers have deviled thee on Saturday eve for wages when thou hadst not a cent to thy name. Men have taken thy paper without pay ing a cent; yea, verily, and accursed thee for not issuing a better. All these things thou hast borne in silence. Thou cans’t not come in. There would be a continual dunning of delinquent subscribers (for hell is full of them) and discord will be created in our kingdom. Be gone. Heaven is thy home." Adolph Bosshardt has rented the New Odgen hotel and will run a hotel and tailor shop in connection. Mrs. Boss bardt will feed the hungry and Mr. Bosshardt will clothe the ragged m first class shape. Give them a call. Stf. Mandamus to Isins. Judge Klnkaid hao decided that man damua may. Issue to compel County Treasurer Scott to pay certain county warrants in the case brought by the board of supervisors. But a serious difficulty has arisen. Mr. Scott went down to Sioux City before the trial and has not yet returned, and it Is gravely asserted by some that he will not come back again. The testimony introduced on the trial of the case shows that in the banks of Holt county he has on deposit some $15,000, while the amount of cash lliRt should be on hand is about $80,000. The prosecution have started afresh that old proceeding of ouster on the in sufficiency of his bond. Judge Marshall, of Fremont, is expected up to-morrow night to hear the case. Tim Frontier has always had the most implicit confidence in Mr. Scott, but we are compelled at last to admit that things are looking decidedly blue. However, we wlthold further comment for future developments. A Lost Document. When the Holt county Alliance met in secret session in O’Neill last Saturday they seemed to think that the responsi bility of saving the county from ruin and bankruptcy had devolved upon the members of their star chamber force, so they proceeded to dictate to the lawful officers of the country precincts a recom mendation, entreaty or command which is given below. We do not know that they Intended it for publi cation, but as it was found in the room where they held their last pow-wow, we take the liberty to give it verbatim cl literatim-. To the Holt co Alliance: Sirs—We your comittie, recomend that the township treasurer do not pay any funds to the county treasure untill there is a settlement with the county treasure. W. H. Bedford. Chas. Howilton. ' D. C. Blonbin. Now if the various treasurers in the' county see fit to follow this ill-advised recommendation another burden of costs will be laid upon the tax payers. The law specifies that the township treasurers must make final settlement not later than the 10th of September, and also makes it the duty of the county clerk to at once institute proceedings against the treasurers failing to comply with that provision of the statute. In this instance it would necessitate the starting of thirty suits, the cost of which would be in the neighborhood of $1,000. The above resolution was shown to Attorney Murphy by a Frontier re porter Monday and his opinion asked for. He said: “It is my opinion that the township treasurers must make settle ment as provided by law.” We await the result and smile the while. Institute Desolations. O'Neill, Auo. 9, 1893. Resolutions adopted by the teachers of the Holt county institute: Resolved, That we extend our sympa thy to Miss Anna and Reuben Slay maker who were called from nmong us Monday by the death of their sister Maud.

Chase, Mrs. Jeanette Tavlor, • Miss Mamje McManus, Miss Addie Burleson, Miss Agnes Fullerton, Committee, The Alliance Besolves. The following resolutions were unan imously adopted by the Holt County Farmers’ Alliance, last Saturday: WnBBBAS: It having come to the knowledge of the Holt County Alliance that the local coal dealers of Holt county have combined to prevent alliances from buying coal from miners for their own consumption, thereby saving the royalty to said dealers; and Where as: The alliances have never shipped in any coal for sale or profit other than for their own immediate use; therefore Resolved, That this alliance respect fully request that these dealers remove the aforesaid objections and allow alli ances to buy and ship coal direct from miners for self consumption. Other wise be it. Resolved, That this alliance persists in its right to buy its own coal direct from the minegj and will do sc, even if it be comes necessary to engage in the busi ness of buying and selling coal in tbis county to others than its own members. Resolved, That the secretary of tbis alliance be instructed to furnish each paper in Holt county a copy of these resolutions for publication.
