Harry Uttley came up from Omaha
Saturday evening returning Sunday
morning. He thinks there are a few
attractions in O’Neill that cannot be
equaled, even in Omaha.
There is an endless amount of litiga
tion in sight on account of the Scott
trouble. It is indeed an ill wind that
blows nobody good. The attorneys are
the lucky ones in this instance.
Tom Morris and Otto Slchter left
Monday morning for the world’s fair.
Tom will be gone for a month or so,
while Otto, after taking in the show,
will return to his home in Indiana.
The Frontier is pleased to call the
attention of its readers to the fact that
L. Pfund has purchased the stock of
goods formerly owned by Pfund &
Wagers and will conduct the business
at the old stand.
The state should make haste slowly In
attaching the property of Scott’s bonds
men . The effort to protect the county
Is commendable, but a large amount of
costs with no benefit to the tax payers
Bhould be avoided.
Mias Allie Burke, who baa been vislt
ing relatives in O’Neill for the past
three months, returned to her home in
Winona, Tuesday. During her stay
here she made many warm friends who
regret her departure.
Tony Uurray, who resides on the
northeast quarter of section 1, township
29, range 12, found a 2-year-old colt in
his pasture some time ago and he desires
the owner of same to call and pay
charges and take it away.
The Sioux City Journal says there
were a couple of men from O’Neill in
Sioux City last Wednesday looking for
Barrett Scott. They found his name on
the register at the Hotel Garreston.
Only that, and nothing more.
-The county board last week can
celled several thousand dollars worth of
tax receipts for T. A. Thompson, of
Sioux Citv, on the grounds that they
were paid to Barrett Scott in Iowa, and
not at his office in Holt county.
The county division scheme should
receive no encouragement from voters
in the proposed old county. We have
not as yet learned the lines upon which
tho division is to be made, but it is
immaterial. It’s a bad thing anyway.
The Sun says we still have the court
house left. That is true at the present
time, but just wait qntil Harrington
gets his pay for work Murphy should be
doing to earn his salary. We will be in
luck then if we have the county left.
We see by the Madison, Ind., Herald
that: "Miss Josephine M. Brooks, who
was appointed missionary lay reader one
year ago in the Platte country of Ne
braska, arrived yesterday on the mail
boat and will make a short visit at her
home in this city.”
September 9 is the date set by J. P.
Mann for his fall opening. His large
stock of seasonable goods will be ready
for inspection at that time. He is
purchasing this year for his trade an
unusually large stock of novelties.
Wait for the opening.
Mr. and Mrs. James Skirving were in
Fairfax the first of the week looking
:\fter business interests. Mr. Skirving
lias just returned from a business trip to
[owa where he has disposed of his cloth
ing store at South Ottumwa for a half
lection of land.—Fairfax Review.
Unlike the independent journals, the
republican papers will make no kick on
the courts simply because the opposition
happened to get a decision. They
have a high regard for the mills of jus
tice and are inclined to believe that they
idminisler the law as they understand it.
County Attorney Harrington and
Lookerup of Reports Murphy talked
itrongly of having District Clerk Skirv
ing impeached Monday because he re
fused to accept an attachment bond
until he took time to investigate its
sufficiency. There is always a bath of
woe for the official who refuses to tip
the light fantastic to the tune of the
pseundo-reform horse fiddle.
In “spiking another lie” last week the
Independent carpenter smashed his
thumb. He denied point blank that
Hopkins was a defaulter in any amount.
Idle fact is that he is not now a default
er, having make settlement, but at the
time the statement was made by us he
was short in his accounts and a suit wn9
pending against him in the district
court. And by the way, this same Suit
wus dismissed last week by the county
board without authority. Clerk Butler
was prosecuting the case and he should
question the right of the board to drop
in and dismiss his action. The Fron
riEit is of the opinion that Mr. Hopkins
is liable for the interest on the amount
held by him from the 10th day of last
September.
A letter from the heavy-weight editor
of Tub Frontier—Cronin—who is do
ing the great fair (and numerous other
things) says that it is a great show. He
is not pleased with the Nebraska bulfd
ing and in the Vernacular of the west
says “it is not in it.” He has seen
Frank Hynes, Felix Murphy, 01 Slocum
and Jimmy McManus, all old 0‘Neili
boys, and reports them flourishing as
they deserve.
Mrs. Annie Ashton, formerly of
O’Neill, committed suicide at Sioux
City Tuesday evening, at which place
she had spent most of the summer. De
ceased is the mother of a small baby
which at the present time is a member
of I. It. Smith’s family circle. We have
not learned the particulars, the above
information being obtained from Mi.
Smith, who received a telegram from
Sioux City Tuesday night.
Contrary to The Frontier’s Judg
ment and expectation, Judge Marshall’s
decision in the Scott case was one of
ouster, and Rhody Hayes is now county
treasurer. He took possession of the
office Friday morning. Jim Sullivan,
formerly a clerk in Butler’s office, is
deputy, and John Golden and ex-Super
visor Kline hold clerkships. We wish
Treasurer Hayes a more pleasant reign
than that enjoyed by his predecessor.
The Sun is greatly disturbed oyer the
fact that the council requires Clerk Mar
tin to furnish The Frontier with a
copy of their proceedings. We might
remark to the Sun and Mr. Martin that
it is very immaterial to us whether he
does or not. It is only when the copy
is so furnished that we are under obli
gations to publish the proceedings.
The controversy does not effect us in
the least. It is simply a question be
tween the council and the clerk.
Jack Hazelet left Sunday morning for
Boone, la., where he and Mrs. Andy
Potter were made one yesterday by the
process of matrimony. The contracting
parties are both well and favorably
known in O’Neill, the bride being a
teacher in our public schools and the
groom assistant cashier of the State
Bank. They are expected home next
week, and will be welcomed by a
host of friends, who send them their
best wishes, among them The Frontier.
We have a man out in Holt county.
Judge M. P. Einkaid, who would grace
the supreme bench of Nebraska and
would be quite as acceptable to the
masses as Judge Maxwell. Judge Ein
kaid has distinguished himself on num
erous occasions as an official and would
run like a house afire if nominated on
any ticket. This part of the state is en
titled to some recognition and friends of
the judge should take up his boom and
send it thundering down the line.—
Tilden Citizen.
John Bach McMaster, the eminent
historian, is preparing tor the September
Forum a financial and historical review,
entitled “A Century's Struggle for Sil
ver." In this review, Mr. McMaster .will
depict vividly the widespread embarrass
ment that prevailed among merchants
and others in the United States a century
ago for want of a small exchangeable
coinage, and will insist on the vital im
portance of an abundant and convenient
silver currency medium in everyday
mercantile transactions.
rue imra principle oi tne a. r. a. is ;
that it believes in the right of every
man to "worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience." The
principle and theory is all right but the
practice is to keep Catholics out of pub
lic offices. The principle and practice
are not compatible. You cannot accord
a man the privilege of "worshiping God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience,” and then ostracize him for
doing so. The A. P. A. is un-American
and should be frowned upon.
The closing of woolen factories in tbe
east is severely pinching the farmers of
the west who have wool to sell. The
Hot Springs, S. D., Star quotes Col.
Hudunt, a prominent wool grower of
Billings, Mont., as saying that tbe wool
industry in Montana iB practically par
alyzed, and that buying agents will not
advance 0 cents a pound this year. The
wool manufacturers, if there is to be
free wool, do not wrnt any stocks on
hand when the change is made, so the
wool raisers are getting a taste of free
trade prices.—Sioux City Journal.
A telegram was received last Friday
by Sheriff McEvony from the sheriff at
Santa Fee, X. M., asking how badly
Barrett Scott was wanted up here and
adding that be could be' apprehended.
The county board being in session au
thorized tbe sheriff to answer him that
he was wanted $1,000 worth, which he
did, but the wires brought back reply
that they would have to kidnap him and
wanted more money. The board then
by motion offered a standing reward
of $2,000 for his delivery to any author
ized agent of the state of Nebraska. It
is thought he is in Old Mexico.
•i ■>' •
If Harrington will come down here
Toncray and myself will boom him for
attorney-general. It we could got him
on our side we think we could pocket
one of these states before snow flies.
The above extract is from last week’s
Sun. It was published inaletter written,
probably by Charlie McHugh, and pur
porting to have come from Barrett
Scott, in Mexico. The idea conveyed
| is good, strictly in harmony with the
views of this community. If any one
could pocket a state bodily It would be
| M. F. Harrington. But ho will not go
to Mexico this fall as he has not as yet
foreclosed his mortgage on Holt county.
The republican newspapers of this
land district are singing hozanahas be
cause the two "stalwart" republicans at
the O’Neill land office are about to be
bounced for offensive partisanship. Doc
'Mathews, the register, hod not well
warmed his seat, made possible by the
republican party, when he put out
temptations to the democratic papers in
the shape of land office notices. Tobe
Castor has recommended John A. Har
mon for register and Elmer Williams
for leceiver, and Uncle Tobe’s sword
has a keen edge—a keen edge, Uncle
Towel and Dockie.—Niobrara Pioneer.
Judge Kinkaid presided over a spec
ial term of district court Monday after
noon, the case on trial being the forfeit
i ure of Barrett Scott’s appearance bond,
sought by the state. Scott’s attorneys
questioned the legality ot forfeiting the
bond at a special term when the bond
stated, that he should appear at the next
regular term, which in this case was
last March, and at which time he did in
fact appear. Although the court made
no positive decision, it intimated that
this could not be done, but at the same
time allowed the plaintiffs to call de
fendant and bondsmen in open court
and granted them default at this term.
This gives the state the right to proceed
on the bond, but does not settle any of
the questions involved. The merits of
the case will be tried in the numerous
civil suits which will at once be insti
tuted to recover from the bondsmen.
The blue-coated boys who have been
pushing old ladies, delicate girls and
lazy men around the fair grounds at 75
cents per hour have struck. They have
been getting $1 per day and 10 per cent,
of the profits. A few days ago the
pushers were informed that their pay
would be rednced to 75 cents a day.
The boys held an indignation meeting
at the corner of Seventieth street and
Madison avenue, and students who have
taken part in the intercollegiate orator
ical contests are numerous among the
pushers. The protests were eloquent,
fervid and emphatic. There were fully
250 of the 800 pushers at the meeting
and they were unanimous in declaring
they would quit work unless the com
pany abandoned the idea of reducing
their wages. Resolutions to this effect
were adopted and a committee of five
was appointed to confer with President
McOinnis and Manager Adams of the
campany.
Leroy Butler, Mr. Bryou and J. Roll,
of Ewing, also H. A. Allen, H, Beebe
and C. J. Brooks of Atkinson arrived at
Chambers on Tuesday as delegates from
their respective town for the purpose of
conferring with the people of Chambers
and vicinity upon the question of a di
vision of the county, and quite a num
ber of our people got together in the
evening, when the question was fully
discussed, and it was plainly evident
that there is a strong feeling in favor of
a division. It is evident that the county
is too large and unwieldly, and a divis
ion must necessarily be made without
further delay. It is urged by some that
the maintenance of four county govern
ments would be an additional burden
upon our people. On this point we be
lieve that the additional expense would
be but small in comparison with the ad
vantages to be gained. In all important
moves of this kind it is a matter of great
consequence that a desire to effect the
greatest good for the greatest number
should prevail among those interested.
The delegations left for their homes
Wednesday morning.—Chambers Bugle.
Tns Frontier has always opposed
county division in every form and we
cannot see yet wherein it will afford
relief to the tax-payers. Especially at
this time will it be a burden to the new
counties. Besides supporting their own
governments they must contribute to
Holt until the present debt is liquidated.
The people of Holt should show their
ability to successfully conduct one
county before they attempt to run four.

The editor of one of our exchanges
takes his life in his own hands and says
that “antipyrine, which people use a
good deal nowadays, is made by the
condensation of a halogen butyrate and
phenylhydrazlne; the methylphenylpy*
razine resulting is converted by a weak
dehydromethlylphenylpyrazine. and
yields dehydrodlmethylphenylpyra.”
The Grand Island Times is authority
for the statement that a man Interested
In human nature has made note of 1,000
conversations between young women
overheard by the aforesaid reader of
that amalgamation called human nature.
Here is the reported beginning of each
social chat; “ 'And I said to him,’ or,
'he said to me,’ or, 'she told me that
he said;’ 160 referred to dresses or hats
that were either ‘perfectly lovely’ or
'just splendid,’ and the remainder were
pretty evenly divided between comments
on other girls, who were ‘horrid’ or
'stuck up and hateful,’ new novels,
studies, the summer holidays and the
latest scientific discoveries."
Gives us liberty. Death will come
without solicitation. >
When this hurly burly is done and
the battles are lost and won we will still
be one people living under one govern
ment, working for the greatest good to
the greatest number and waiting for
something else to turn up to create ex
citement. In an hundred years from
now none of us will believe the world a
hoodoo.

it mean our Congressman Bryan?
Ho Man has the following sure cure
for love which Is freely recommended to
all of the boys, including Jack Kennedy:
"Take 12 oz. of dislike, 7 lbs. of resolu
tion, 2 oz. of experience, a large portion
of time and 8 quts. of the cooling water
of consideration. Set them over the
gentle fire of love. Sweeten it with the
sugar of forgetfulness. Skim it with
the spoon of melancholy. Put it in the
bottom of your heart, cork it
with the cork of a clear conscience
and yon will quickly find ease, and be
restored to your senses again. These
things can be had at the apothecary's,
in the house of understanding, next
door to reason, on prudent street in the
village of contentment. Take when a
spell comes on." '
