When the Independent speak* of our
four or fire hundred readers It should
remember that The Frontier has a
larger circulation than any other paper
in Holt county.
A subscription paper was circulated
yesterday for the puroose of raising
money to assist Dan Stewart in the
hardship incident to the loss 6f his team
the other day by fire.

The Misses Pearl Burleson, Maud
Walker and Daisy Mussar came down
from Atkinson last Friday morning to
take part in the Delsarte drill given by
the Fredrick Renolds theatrical troupe
here Friday evening.
A country editor sarcastically re
marks that he wants to buy a sack of
flour, a pair of shoes and a straw hat
and is ready to receive lowest bids for
same. He also states that some of his

they want $3 worth of printing done.
Chas. Pond has removed his Exchange
hotel from the Hayes builning to the

his connection with the Ogden and

Last week’s Creighton -Courier con
tained a sensation about Bill Campbell
and Harry Gillespie having another

•Mr. Eisele, of Chambers, was in the
city Monday. He brought his wife and
two daughters in, they taking the train
for Chicago, where Mr. Eisele expects
to join them in about a week. The

and also the receipt of three delicious

People favoring county division
should remember that each new county
must bear a proportionate share of the
debt of Holt county (which is of some
magnitude) and then bond the new
counties for ten or fifteen thousand in
order to have the records transcribed
and have a little cash with which to
do business.
“Woman's Rights” was played at the
opera house last Friday evening by the
Renolds: company to a large house.
The most pleasing feature of the enter
tainment was the tragic recital by
Fredrick Renolds. The Misses Burle
son, Walker and Mussar of Atkinson,
ably assisted Mrs. Renolds with her
Delsarte performance.
Miss Dykeman of O'Neill has been en

Miss Dykeman is an efficient teacher
and an accomplished lady and the
Bassett people may congratulate them

The feeling entertained for O’Neill by
the F. E. railroad was again brought to
the surface Tuesday evening when the
wreck occurred. A train load of. pas
sengers were clamoring to be trans
ported to the wreck that they might
spend the n igbt in O’Neill, and our
citizens offered to meet them at that
point and convey them to the city, but
railroad magnates refused to move a
wheel. '_
Kautzman has 'labored earnestly to
establish as a fact that Dave Adams is a
, scoundrel and that he has entered in
collusion with other men to defraud
depositois and the county. If this is
true, is Mr. Kautzman excusable tor
failing to denounce the man who holds
the bag for these asserted illegal trans
fers, even though he was a delegate and
tireless worker in the reform conven
tion last Saturday?
The Atkinson Graphic says that
Barrett Scott’s attorneys have notified
the state treasurer that all monies be
longing to the state would be paid as
soon as the amount had been ascer
tained. The attorney has also intimated
that probably in the near future Scott
will make a proposition to settle with
the county with the proviso that he be
allowed bis expenses incurred in litiga
tion with the supervisors.
Be sure to see the new fall styles at J.
P. Mann’s, Saturday, September 9. 8-2

Say* the State Journal of the 8d Inst.:
"The extradition of Barrett Scott, the
defaulting Holt county treasurer, is to
be effected if possible. The papers were
forwarded to Washington yesterday and
Frank Campbell of Holt county has bfen
selected to go to Mexico and induce
President Dias to honor the request, by,
courtesy if not by the terms of the
treaty.” It will be a grand junketing
tour for Frank, anyway.
O'Neill has an ordinance regulating
the speed of trains within the corporate
limits of the city, and The Frontier
begs leave to inquire the whyness of its
nonenforcement. The city has banished
the bicycles from the sidewalks under
penalty of fine, taxed the canines under
penalty of death, and numerous other
ordinances abridging the rights and
pleasures of our citizens, but still the
railroads continue to run the gauntlet at
the rate of 40 miles per hour. If the
ordinance is unfair it should be repealed.
If it is just it should be enforced and
that without delay.
Mr. (?) Kautzman will, in the near
future, very probably have an opportun
ity to acknowledge that be is a consu
mate liar or disclose from whence he
received bis important disclosure "by
letter" to the effect that the state
treasurer’s property in this bailiwick
had been transferred. Bold, dastardly,
lies are easily enough concocted by fools
and children but it sometimes becomes
necessary to prove them and this wart
on the face of humanity may sqon have
an opportunity to do so or suffer the full
penalty for his villainous actions.—
Graphic.
The State Journal's Washington cor
respondent says: “Representative
Bryan caught a Tarter in the ways and
means committee today in the person of
a producer of Bermuda onions. The
gentleman was arguing for the removal
of the duty on' onions, which amounts
to about $800,000 annually. Mr. Bryan's
favorite theory is that the consumer
pays the tax, and he thought he had dis
covered his opportunity to enforce this
view upon the committee. To his
qucsutni as iu nu'j paid lue uuiy me
man promptly replied: ‘Why, the pro
ducer' of course.’ Mr. Bryan made
matters worse by prosecutiug the in
quiry and compelling the witness, amid
the laughter of the republican members,
to prove the truth of his assertions.”
At the meeting of the democratic
central committee last Saturday S. M.
Wagers moved that the county conven
tion be called to meet on the same date
as the republican convention. Tom
Golden made a vigorous protest and
denounced the republican party as a
foster parent of the A. P, A. Without
discussing the merits of the motion we
desire to call Mr. Golden's attention to
the fact that the A. P. A. is not a repub
lican organization and that where the
order is the strongest he will find upon
investigation that it is composed of as
laige a per cent, of democrats as repub
licans. As far as the order is concerned
it finds no favor with The Fbontieu,
and we kick against anyone charging its
origin to the republican party.' We
wonder that Mr. Golden would hold
stock in an independent paper said to be
edited by an A. P. A.
Eastbound freight No. 39. ditched
nine care Tuesday afternoon about. Si
miles east of O’Neill. The cause of the
accident was a broken wheel, and of
course it happened on a high grade,
throwing the derailed cars into the
ditch and smashing them into smither
eens. Five of them were loaded with
coal, one with flour.one refrigerator car
and a couple of empties. The broken
wheel was on the car next to the engine.
The engine was not derailed. Several
cars of 6tock were in the train but
fortunately they were far enough in the
rear to escape injury. Two wrecking
crews, one from the east and one from
the west, arrived about six o'clock and
commenced immediately to clear the
track. The passenger, due at 5 o'clock
was delayed at Inman until 4 a. m.
Wednesday morning. The damage to
railing stock will be several thousand
dollars.
The Sun and Independent do not
hesitate to pronounce the King-Short
foot race a fake. Those editors went
down to the track for nothing else but
to see King defeated, and when he sur
prised them by jogging off 70 yards in
7 seconds they were greatiy disturbed,
and straightway retired to their respect
ive dens to tell the people it was a
hippodrome and fake. There are some
people so,,lakey”themselves that tbeycan
see nothing honest in anyone, and for
the opinion of those people we care
nothing. This item is not for the pur
pose of defending King in his foot race
ing proclivities, for the man who will
participate in such sport is deserving of
nothing but contumely, but it is for the
purpose of stating that King has 930
which he will put In a purse and run
Bbort 70 yards on proper notice. Will
the Sun dig up those men who "think
Short can beat King any day?”
Ota Soott Be Bstreditodl
Counfy Attorney Murphy’s visit to
Lincoln lest week, (or the purpose of
securing requisition papers for Barrett
Scott, called forth the following in the
State Journal in its issue of the 9d Inst.:
At the state house Scott’s absence and
the probable causes leading up to It
were the topics of conversation. As
has been stated his shortage is practical
ly 190,000, but the afhount he took with
him is not known. It is believed that
the county’s money has mysteriously
disappeared and is scattered in various
I ways, but that only a small part of it
was carried uway by Scott. In con
nection with his trip to Sioux City the
day before his disappearance the in
formation now comes out that he col
lected from the Pacific Short Line rail
road $8,000 in taxes which were due
Holt county on railroad property and
real estate located throughout the
County. That amount has never been
accounted for and the conclusion is that
Scott took it with him, either in cash or
certificates of deposit. The opinion
prevails that he was not provided with a
great deal of cash, but took with him a
large amount of securities in certificates
of deposit or other forms.
County Attorney Murphy, whose mis
sion it was to secure requsition papers
from the governor, completed his work
day before yesterday and was not at the
capitol yesterday. The necessary re
quisition papers contained the signature
of the governor, but were left with At
torney General Hastings to go through
the usual process of examination as to
form and regularity. As soon as pos
sible they will be forwarded to Wash
ington for the approval of the author
ities and the signature of President
Cleveland.
There seems to have arisen serious
doubt about tbe ability of the Holt
county board to cause the return of the
defaulter. He is charged w'ith embez
zlement, but it is asserted that he can be
brought back only by courtesy of Presi
dent Diaz, a favor which is rarely ex
tended when not absolutely demanded
by the treaty.
Under tne treaty with Mexico persons
shall be delivered up who shall be
charged, according to the provisions of
tbe treaty, with any of the following
crimes, whether as principals, acces
sories or accomplices, namely: Murder
(including assassination, parricide, in
fanticide and poisoning), assault with
intent to commit murder, mutilation,
piracy, arson, rape, kidnapping, defin
ing the same to be the taking and carry
ing away of free persons by force or

and the crime of larceny of cattle or
other goods and chattels of the value of
#29 or more, when the same is com
mitted within the states or territories
of the contracting parties. .
"Embezzlement of public moneys" is
the crime for which the Holt county
board can demand extradition, but it is
said that the embezzelment of public
moneys has never been interpreted to
mean the taking of funds other than
those of the United States, except in
one instance when it wdb applied to the
embezzlement of funds belonging to the
state of Alabama. It is true however
that Scott owes the state 89.000 as taxes
due and whether the taking of the
state's money can be alleged and hold
good !b not knqwn. The changing of
bond gives rise to the claim that it is
invalid an the county cannot recover.
Meeting of Democratic Contra! Committee.
The democratic central committee met
in this city last Saturday. They bad a
good repreaentation, no doubt on ac
count of the call being published in Tnic
Frontier. They decided to hold the
county convention on Saturday, Septem
ber 30, and baaed the representation on
the vote cast for secretary of state, and
decided to allow one delegate at large
and one for eyery ten votes or major

The Independent Convention,
The independent delegates to the
number of ninty seven met in the oourt
house Friday as per call and proceeded
to place in nomination a “slated” ticket.
Temporary organization was perfected
before dinner by electing Ham Howard
chairman and Prof. Morrow secretary,
after which the various committees
were appointed and adjournment taken
The gavel sounded again at 1:80 p, it.
and the committee on order of business
was called, whose • report was read and
adopted, after a lengthy discussion led
by Judge Roberts. He objected to the
informal ballot clause.
Committee on credentials then re
ported, which report was adopted. A
contest from Green Valley was decided
by the convention seating the delega
tion with credentials. Jim Sbanner
wanted them sworn in but he was talked
down.
The gentlemen who were to decide
permanent organization reported in
favor of making temporary organization
permanent, which was done, but Chair
man Howard respectfully declined and
Rev. Coppoc was elected to fill the
vacancy.
A paper purporting to be a platform
was then read and upon motion adopted.
It was a reiteration of the Omaha decla
ration, with an additional clause
censuring the republican officials of
Holt county. Tom Cane, although not
a delegate, arose and moved to amend
by inserting the word democrat in the
castigation. His motion was seconded
and about to be voted upon when some
one objected because he was not a
delegate, but the difficulty waa settled by
a delegate holding credential* himself
making the motion, which carried.
ad miormai oanot was then taken
for treasurer, which brought to light
the following candidates:
J. Mullen. 40
W. Bethea... **
J. Hopkins......2
B. Smith. 7
A formal ballot waa then ordered,
which resulted in the nomination of the
Idol by this vote:

Mullen* was called for and made a
very nice little talk, but he failed to
arouse much enthusiasm among his
subjects. After his nomination about
forty honest delegates awoke to a
realization of the fact that a “slate" was
before them and they were atfgry.
Bethea and Windy McDonald left the
convention at once while a large num
ber who staved were plenty road and
some of them declare now that as they
had no hand in the nominations they
feel under no obligation to support the
ticket.
The informal ballot for sheriff was
then had and resulted as follows:

occasion and were happy for one short
night, although we wished we word
