Trommer ihausser has purchased the Clapp resl Jence property in this village, the con ilderation being 81,000. This is one of the neatest properties in Ewing and rrom. was surely fortunate in securing It at such low figures. Graphic: The fire fiend seems to have a vengeful spite at O’Neill, but the enterprising spirit of her business men cannot be cremated with the monuments their energy and industry. The Fabled bird is exemplified in every dis astrous fire that visits that city. John Skirving and Lieutenant Bren nan accompanied the state officers to Norfolk last Thursday and were pres ent at the mustering in of the Moore Quards at that place in the evening. They say the reception tendered the officers was not a circumstance com pared to O'Neill’s model entertainment. O'Neill is seldom equaled and never Ex celled. _ Barney McGlone, an old and respected resident of Holt county, died Tuesday it Seattle, to which > place he went a ihort time ago for his health. Mr. Mc Olone formerlv resided on a homestead In the Dry Creek valley near Hahni jan's bridge,and taught school for a num. per of years in different parts of the :ounty. He was a single man, about 00 pears of age. Lew Hewitt,* formerly dispatcher at the F, E. depot in this city, left Mon-, lay for Ewing, which station has been placed under his charge by the com* pany. Mr. Hewitt is a gentleman and t scholar who hag lots of friends in this lity and Thb Frontier predicts that he will discharge the duties of bis new of fice with credit to himself and the satis faction of his patrons and employers. Exchange: Of the 3,890 convicts in the state penitentiaries of Texas, there is not a printer or newspaper man, while there are bankers, doctors, photo graphers, ministers, bar-keepers, cooks, Parbers, and,members of all other call ings and professions. ( The Texas rule may apply to every state in the Union, but it is wrong. The Jew, for instante, who published an extract saying the Boyd county excur sionists were all drunk,should be sent to the penitentiary on general principles. Valentine Republican: Observer Fitzgerald is taking hourly barometer readihgs during the present week for the O’Neill Irrigation Co. for the pur pose of comparing accuracy of their Parometer for obtaining elevation in irrigation work. This ie being done at the request of A. J. Meals, president of the company,, who called here Sunday evening for that purpose and returned Pome on the passenger train Monday morning. The company is supposed to Pe surveying at the presennt time through Cherry county lakes and up the Gordon Creek. Stuart Ledger: Mrs. H. W. Miller received a letter from Mrs. Lessenger, now living at College View, a suburb of Lincoln, last Friday evening, conveying the sad intelligence that her little boy, Everett, aged about nine years, bad met with an accident which will deprive him of the sight of one of bis eyes. A little playmate and he were running along the sidewalk at the height of their speed. The former was pushing a stick along ahead of him when it caught in the side walk and springing out of his hand struck the little Lessengei; boy in one of his eyes, cutting the ball and the eyelid. Graphic: Wonder if Kautzman imagines that the low, filthy, pothouse billingsgate that he fires weekly at the editor of the Stuart Ledger, reflects aiir lustre on the cause or the parly he rep resents. If it does ttiat party must be sunken, morally, many fathoms below the mudsills of perdition. And this In dependent scab of putrid scum, with ostentatious pride, assumes to be a Mason. Can it be possible that such a monumental pile of obscene moraT rot affiliates with that ancient and honorable order? .If he does, then their good name requires that they should purge themselves of such a loathsome vampire. Last year when Tub Frontier was awarded the contract for publishing the supervisors’ proceedings it was com palled to cnntraot to publish four columns within a week after the ad journment of each meeting, and four columns each succeeding week until all were published, but now that an inde pendent paper has secured the contract we notice that but two columns are pub lished. As a matter of justice between papers and a right, of the public the rule applied to Tub Frontier should be applied to the Sun. Never since the organization of the county were the proceedings as promptly published as while thia paper held the contract. A special came from Sioux City juat as 4re go to press that the prize fight between James J. Corbett and Charles Mitchell tor the champlonspip of tho wotld, and a purse of 920,000, took plfifee at Jacksonville, Florida, as adver tised. Corbett won in three rounds, knocking his opponent down several tidies. America still holds the cham pionship. tn accordance with the unanimous consent of county superintendents in at tendance at the last meeting of the Ne ll risks state teachers’ association, A. K. Gdjudy, - superintendent of public In ettbctlon, has prepared a schedule show ini the date of opening of the annual lnftitue of each county for the coming si^nmer. The counties are divided into file groups and the dates are June 18, Jwy 9 and 98, August 6 and SO. Holt ominty Is set for August 90, but Mr. Jackson informs us that he is at the pfesent time unable to say whether or n|t he will be able to bold the instltue pi that date, although it is his intentiou to do so if possible. ,8tuart Ledger: Wm. Dustin, the rounder ot Dustin, postofilce and for a itfng time merchant and postmaster there, who has been In the mercantile business in Morrell,Brown county, Kan., #as up on a visit last week returning Home on Friday morning. He informed the seribe that he had made arrange ments with Mr. Gill to take the store again, and will resume business there the first of March. This will* be wel come news to the many old friends and acquaintances of Mr. Dustin. One of the inducements which led him to re turn was the healthfulness of this climate. His family always had good health here which has not been the case since he went to Kansas. '1 he following from the Stanton Reg ister no doubt refers to the individual who reaped such a rich harvest - in O’Neill not long ago. It may afford the O'Neill suckers some satisfaction to know that there are other suckers: '"There was a fellow struck the town last Friday and advertised a free show that night in‘tbe Nelson building. It proved to be a rank gambling scheme, it is pretty hard to get the particulars but quite a number were caught, It 1b mighty poor policy to buck a man’s own game, fie took small sums from several hard working men, but they are not deserving of an / sympathy, and we don’t think, they are asking it. In fact they have very little to say in regard to the affair." __ As diphtheria is so very serious a dis ease, whenever a child seems languid and miserable, fretful and depressed, without apparent cause, examine the throat carefully, writes Elisabeth Rob inson Scovil in a very valuable article on "Care in Infectious Diseases” in the February Ladies Home Journal. If it Is swollen and covered with patches of gray membrane looking like slate-pencil dust, send for the doctor. It is always safest to have medical advice when the throat is affected. Until the doctor comes keep the child in bed. If the throat Is pdtnful procure a lump of lime, pour cold water upon it; when the effer vescence subsides strain off the clear water and apply it to the throat with a brush or swab. If the child is old enough the throat can be gargled with the lime-water. Inhaling the steam from a pitcher of boiling water some times gives relief. The neck may be rubbed with warm oil'and bound with flannel. Milk, either hot or cold, should be given every two hours. The cold milk may have (he white of an egg shaken with each cup full. Strong beef-tea ‘can be given and (he doctor may order stimulant. The strength must be supported by nourishing liquid food. In no lean than half a dozen papers have we seen copied Kautzman’a state ment that the O'Neill excursionists to Boyd county were all most beastly in toxicated. As an initiatory statement and preface to further remarks it might be well to nail the lie and brand it as unqualifiedly false. The party con sisted of representative business men and citizens from tkiis city and while perhaps they drank and perhaps they didn't, it is a fact that the party con ducted thcmaelves as gentlemen and labored to sustain and uphold the reputation of the prosperous city whose representatives they were. But if it were a fact that they indulged to excess, danced the can-can, rolled in the gutter and otbqr degraded things, we should think it would be the last office of an O’Neill newspaper to publish the same. A man wielding the pen should treat the matter as a closeted skeleton for the good of his town if not for respect of the parties most directly interested. But this thing Kautzman, familiarly known as “it,” has absolutely no idea of propriety or the eternal fitness of things and recklessly slanders those who thrust his daily bread down his miserable throat and make it possible for him to keep carrion-tainted breath in his worth 1 less carcass. Irrigation Hooting. There will be n meeting held In O'Neill on January 80 and 81, 1804, to discuss the oubjeot of Irrigation, at which every one interested in the mrtter la earnestly requested to be present. It was decldea, at a previous meeting held in this place, (at which an irrlgatlou association was organised) to Issue this call for a general meeting of all the counties of tins part of the state interested in the subject, that a general Interchange of tueas might be obtained and some plan for mulated for utilizing the waters at our command.. In pursuance of their in structions the underslgued committee, issues this call, and respectfully requests all who can from adjoining towns aud counties to be present aud participate in the convention’s deliberations. The committee have the promises of Hon. <1. 11. Emery, national lecturer on irri gation; Hon. E. K. Hoses, president In terstate Irrigation Association, of Qreat Bend, Kansas, and many others that they will be present to give the. conven tion the benefit of their experience on irrigation matters and aid in any other way they can. That some means for utilizing nature's bountiful supply of water in this section for the developing of our . agricultural resources to their natural capacity, is necessary to the success and perma nency of our population is now almost a foregone conclusion. Though blessed with a rich productive soil, a salubrious climate, an industrious and Intelligent class of farmers, as well as many other advantages requisite to the upbuilding of a populous and prosperous locality ; a plentiful supply of watef also in oar rivers and lakes and subterranean flows, a proper distribution in the season of the year when the grains are Ailing and ripening, and moisture is necessary to bring them to their full fruition, seems to be the one thing lacking. In many arid and semi-arid sections of the earth, the science of men has supplemented the works of creation, overcoming these minor obstructions and transforming the waste and barren plains into fields of fullest fruitage and lands of pros perous, happy homes. What has been done elsewhere can certainly be done here if only we bring to bear* upon the matter a portion of our time, intelli gence and energy. It is the testimony of experts who have examined the terri tory, that irrigation in this part of the state is practicable, cheap and easy. That under us and on all sides of us are the waters in abundance and of easy access. While the lay of our country is favorably fashioned in the proper flow and meander. It carries no re flection as some may think to admit the need of irrigation. Rather it is a de claration to the world of our advance ment and progression, our disposition and determination to make the most of God’s great sifts. No soil in the world but what is benelltted by Irrigation un less it be low land and marshes, and to make our soil produce tu its full capacity is a noble purpose and worthy of our greatest efforts. It is hoped and expected by this com mittee that many or all of the counties in North Nebraska will send represen tatives to the convention and thus give support to the project which promises so much for this entire section.

Oar readers will remember of reading last fall, when busted banks were all the rage, that the Plain view State bank was robbed of a considerable amount of cash and paper, the effect of which was to close the bank. Mr. Lamb, who was appointed receiver of the defnnct bank, says it is bis opinion that all or a large portion of the money and notes went unlawfully and wrongfully into the hands of George E. Cheney, C. Hecht, H. J. Hecht ana the Norfolk National bank, with the full knowledge and con sent of the president and cashier of the bank. The receiver asks the supreme court to compel the attendance of the parties above mentioned in order that they may be made to disclose the facts concerning-the notes and money. Mr. Cheney is well known in this vicinity,' Chambers Bugle: We were thown the subscription list for the building of the new church at Harold, and we noticed the usual amount of generosity on the part of the business and profes sional men of •O’Neill. Among the names we observed those of Hon. Neil Brennan, J. J. McCafferty, Seiriff Ham ilton, J. P. Mann, R. J. Hayes, Dr. Trueblood, Mr. Ryan, of the O’Neill Grocery Co., Charlie Hempstreet, pro prietor of the New Ogden hotel, the proprietors of the tavern, Dr. T. V. Nor veil and a score or more of others. While the list properly indicates the readiness with which the people of O’Neill lend their aid to such matters in the rural districts, it is also an evidence that they know how to appreciate what the people of this section of country have contributed, in the way of business to that town. This last act ot theirs will be remembered by the Harold people as well as the entire South Fork country. O’Neill contributed about 9130. In contributing liberally to the above cause O'Neill did nothing but what it has done ever since the town has been in existence. No person ever entered the gates of the city and asked aid for charity or other commendable objects and was turned away with a kick and a curse, yet these same people, when division agitation is ripe, affect a holy horror as they raise their hands and cry out agonizingly, Ob.
