Neligh Leader: Hon. Miner Brace,
formerly representing the United States
as governor or agent of Alaska, was
visiting friends and relatives in Knox
county and vicinity recently. Time has
dealt lightly with him, and the natural
goodfellowship of his nature has been
in no wise impaired by a long residence
among the nations and solitude of the
far north.
Doc Mathews went down 'to Lincoln
Sunday morning, at which place he will
join the car-load of Ewing-Oallfornia
tourists and bask in the sunshine and
ethereal mildness of the southern coast
for 80 days. Doc promised to write us
a communication, and also promised not
to go into and ecstatic trance oyer the
beauties of the country, but rather to
write upon its dark side. If he commu
nicates it will be interesting. Wait
for it.
Bloomfield Monitor: The O’Neill
Frontier has been boycotted by the
Nirst National bank of that place, on
account of a slight difference of opinion.
We are of the same opinion as The
Frontier, that this institution will not
make any friends by the act, and they
will wake up some morning and find
the golden sheckles they are grasping
for so hard, slowly but surely slipping
from their hands and wonder how
came it so?
R. L. Clapp visited in Ewing last week.
Dick had intended ere this to remove
with his family to Massachusetts, but he
happens to be under bonds to appear as
a witness at the November, 1893, term
of district court, which has not yet
adjourned. As soon as he is dismissed
from the obligation the places in Holt
which knew him will know him no
more forever. Dick and his family will
be missed in O’Neill and The Frontier
is sorry that they have decided to
remove..
A gentleman widely and favorably
knawn in Holt county came into our
office Monday and asked now much the
First National bank had been paying us
annually for advertising. We informed
him that the 2 per cent, institution in
the exuberance of its generosity and
public spiritedness had contributed
annually the magnificent sum of $20,
whereupon the gentleman drew
from the depths of his wallet a bran
new bill of the above denomination and
spread it before us and begged us to
accept it as a token of admiration and
renumeration for duty well performed.
And we accepted. Virtue is not always
its own reward.
Last Thursday evening about 8:30 the
residents of this city were startled by
the alarm of fire. A large crowd soon
gathered at the engine-house and it was
learned that it was the mill that was
burning. The fire department soon
reached the scene of the conflagration
but as there was .no hydrant near at
hand water could not be got upon the
flames. The chemical engine was used
but the fire had gained such headway
i that it was impossible to get it under
control and hundreds of citizens stood
by and saw the building reduced to ashes
while they yere powerless to prevent it.
.The mill was built by D. L. Darrin
August 1893, and commenced operations
October 37, of the same year. The
building and machinery cost $15,000 and
there was about $3,000 worth of stock
on hand, making the loss $18,000.
It was insured in the Millers’ Mutual, of
Dos Moines, for $7,500. Mr. Darr
informed a Frontier reporter that the
probabilities are that the mill will be
rebuilt. _
Graphic: The O'Neill Bun, which has
been clamoring for social reciprocity be
tween O’Neill and Atkinson, neve r neg
lects and opportunity to malign the peo
ple ot this village and traduce their
motives. Following is a specimen brick
from its colmn of "reciprocity:”
"Lord Doolittle, of Atkinson, was in
O’Neill yesterday conferring "Vith the
same old gang.”
The animus of the above dirty inuen
do hod its birth in the simple fact that
Milton Coolittle, who ranks among the
most worthy and prominent democrats
of Nebraska, refused to recommend
McHugh for appointment as postmaster
at O’Noill. Doolittle knew, as every
other honest democrat in the county
knows, that McHugh is politically dis
1 honest—that he is a snake in the grass,
and that his democracy never rises
above the amount of dollars and cents
that he imagines may bo in it for
McHugh. His politicrl course, ever
since he assumed control of the Sun, has
been a tergiversating, meander and no
one can divine where he is or where he
isn’t. In the language of an ancient
but expressive metaphor,
“He wires In and wires out,
And leaves his readers still in doubt,
Whether the snake that made the track
Was going out or crawling back.’

the city last week got a little excited
and spoke of one of the excursionists in

put into practice was really- the foun
dation of the whole affair.
Governor Crounse tipped the light
fantastic last evening for the first time
in 20 years. He said the good looking

cause of it. He Baid further that he

Grant, had been arrested for embezzling

trial came off last week with a verdict
in favor of defendant. It is thought
that the government will also fail to
convict Blake.

in Rock Falls township, was heard Mon
day by County Judge McOutcheon, and
decided in favor of defendant. Mr.
Oreigg, independent, was elected over
Mr. Ross, republican, by a major
ity of one and the plaintiff alleged that
three illegal votes were cast for the
defendant, but he failed to prove the
allegation to the satisfaction of the
court and consequently the verdict for
Oreigg. Attorney Benedict appeared
for plaintiff and M. F. Harrington for
defendant._ _

GOVERNOR AND STAFF HERE
A Good Company, A Bitter Sanoo, A
Perfect Banquet.
The long looked for and much talked
of muster in of the O’Neill Militia took
place last night. There waa a dance at
the opera house and a banquet at the
Hotel Evans where wine was drank.
That was last night, this is Thursday,
when we are supposed to tell all about
it, but to be honest with our readers we
are in no condition mentally or physic
ally to do justice tb the occasion. The
many and diversified pleasures of the
evening are fresh m our memory but our
thoughts are in a state of choas. The
wheels in our heads make many kinds
of music but above it all we hear the
echo of hilarious mirthfulness and the
recollection comes os soothing as drops
of icy water upon a parching palate.
out to our suDject.
As per previous announcement the gov
ernor and staff and other state officers
arrived in the city last evening to be
present and assist in the ceremony of
mustering in the Bartley guards. The.
party consisted of:
Gov. Crounse.
Treasurer Bartley.
Auditor Moore.
General Gage.
Col. Hotchkiss.
Col. Paine.
They were met at the depot by a re
ception committee and escorted to the
Hotel Evans, where they were greeted
by a large number of people anxious to
pay their respects to the honored and
distinguished visitors. At 8 o’clock
the ceremony of mustering in the com
pany was gone through with and was
completed satisfactorily and with im
pressive solemnity. Short talks were
made by Col. Hotchkiss and the
governor, the latter pf whom presented
the commissioned officers with license
to wear shoulder straps.
The next thing on the program was
the ball, which was initiated by a grand
march, led by the governor
and Mrs . Meredith. This part
of the proceedings was well attended
and yve .should judge very enjoyable.
The music was excellent, the company
congenial and the supper, seived by the
i Rebeccas superb.
At 18 o’clock the' male gueBts were
usheied into the banquet hall at the
Hotel Evans. And what a spread! We
will not say "the tables were loaded
with all the delicacies of the season”
but will give the menu in full and take
) occasion to say that in the general ar
rangement and execution of the affair
nothing like or approaching it was ever
done or attempted in the city. Mr. and
Mrs. Evans certainly did themselves
proud and have reason to congratulate
themselves upon the success of their
efforts.

evening and The Frontier is proud of

Upon motion the report was accepted
and placed on file.
Now that Expert Stitt is in the city
we think it would be a good idea to
have him expert this report of Mr.
Murphy’s. For instance, in his trip to
Lincoln we notice the footings show
a total of 975.SO, which, when correctly
computed, amounts to only 970.80.
Also in his trip to Omaha in the Akin
case his footings show a total of 910.10
when it should be 917.10, Of course he
isn’t beating the county out of a great
deal, and perhaps if his whole statement
was carefully experted it would be
found that he has cheated himself, but
that cuts no figure; it should be correct
and if our county attorney doesn’t
know that two and two make four his
statements should be critically scanned
before being hastily accepted In the
future.

O'Neill Gbockky Company,
Hr. Oolden to the Supervisors,.
Honorable Chauiuan and Members
or tub Board op Supervisors, Holt
county, Nebraska:
Gentlemen—Advance is the char
acterestic of every progressive person or
community,
I it wo woum do proaperoui we moat
make new departurea In the way of -I]
improvementa and exercise our Intel*
ligenoe in bettering our oondl*
tlon aa a people u well aa J
individuals. Beoauae our fathera !
out bay with a scythe and grain with tM
a alokle ia no good reason why we should
do ao. Beoauae the present generation
of farmers in this county is following
in the footsteps of the past generation
in waiting and watching, In rain, for
sufficient rain fall to aupply Its ' crops
with moisture during the hot months of
July and Auguat, ia not a sufficient
reason that the next generation should
be handicapped in the same matter, |
provided of .course there Is good reaaon
to believe a remedy oan be obtained and
improvement mads.
Men employed by the government to
investigate this very matter have made
thler report and have unqualifiedly aald
that a remedy fordry weather on the
great plaina of Nebraska and Kanaas
does exist. The men who made these
reports are disinterested save as they
are benefltted by being citizens of this
great nation. They were employed to
state the facts aa they found them and
draw conolualons therefrom. It ia un
necessary to set out what theae men aay.
The reports are open to you If you nil
will take the time and trouble to send to - '
the secretary of agriculture for ‘ ‘Progress
Report of Irrigation in the United -
States.” In a word all who have in
vestigated have said that where there ii
sufficient water within 100 feet of the
surface, it can, by aid of well-known and
easily obtained machinery, be brought
tothesurface and made to irrlgatetbe land
at a cost far below the beneflta to be
derived. We have an Inexhaustible »|jj
supply of water within the above limit. ; 'n
These statements are known to be true
but am made to base the argument that .C
now is the time to commence operations
looking toward the reclaiming of our' i
county. ,]M
Taking it for granted that yon will
agree with me regarding the necessity
for prompt action towards the reclaim
ing of our county, the question will
naturally arise, who will or ought to
bear the burden of further Investigation,
or in other words demonstrate by practl
cal test and experiment, the utility of "
irrigation by the well, pump and reser
voir system.
Personally, I believe no experiment
or test necessary as that has already v!i
been done In other parts of the country,
but our people being naturally a con
servative one/ will continue to doubt
until they have actual visual proof of ; 1
results. This experiment, or test, if ;7
made, will be for the benefit of every - 4a
citizen of the county and every non- 4
resident land owner in tne ratio of tho A
value of the real estate and other prop
erty he has in the county. Conte- ’£j
quently each person benefltted ought to
pay in the ratio of the benefit derived.
Voluntary contributions to the expense
is out of the question as it would un
doubtedly be Inequitable. There if no
doubt but that the expense of such an
experiment should be made out of the
county treasury. The amount necessary
would be a mere bagatelle and would be >
well expended money.
It is to be hoped that your honorable > f,
body will investigate this matter and do
your duty as you see it after invest!- ^
gation. Very truly, ;
T. V. Goldin, ! *•'
Sec’y Bolt County Irrigation Society. 4••
