Blackburn, McDonald and Slurdevant', removed a tumor from Mrs. Frank Bit ney, of Atkinson, yesterday. It was a very difficult surgical operation but was successfully performed and the patient is doing nicely. McHugh escapes censure from the alliance. The reason is self-evident: in the first place he is one of them, and an independent was never known to censure an independent. In the second place he never did anything of sufficient importance to merit a severe rebuke. He is harmless. The supreme court of Indiana re cently made a decision which declares the saloon, even though licensed by the state, a nuisance, and that the proprie tors thereof are liable for damages for injury to adjacent property depreciated either for sale or rental, by the presence of the saloon. John McNichols was down from At kinson Monday making an effort to col lect rent the Jew owes him. The Jew has occupied John’s building about 81 months and has paid the magnificent sum-of $5. And still Kaiitzman says people who (ray their debts are a detri ment to the town and county. Postmaster Riggs has been informed that the daily mail route from Spencer to O’Neill will be extended to Butte on July 1, 1894. This is a good thing for O’Neill as well as her sister city, Butte. It will give them a daily mail from the outside world. This is the route that was petitioned for a few weeks ago C. P. Webster of the Nebraska Loan and Trust Co., Hastings, was in the city Wednesday. Mr. Webster is quite en thusiastic over the irrigation project, his company being interested in this county and gives as his opinion, that if the scheme is feasible there will be no dif ficulty about securing the necessary funds to push it to a successful termi nation. '_ The editor of the Ewing Advocate remarks that the business of a Holt county sheriff has never been interfered with by the appointment of a master commissioner. The Advocate may be innocent of intent to deceive, but it is a fact that a master commissioner was aopointed in Holt county a couple ot years ago and there was no “reason assigned” why such officer should be appointed. The “Shamrock and Rose,” presented at the opera house last evening by the Academy Dramatie company, was wit nessed by a crowded house. The play was presented in a pleasing manner and to the satisfaction of the audience, evidenced by the hearty applause that punetuated the performance. We have not the space to go into details jind speak merited words of praise for the individual actors, but pronounce the effort a success that Manager Biglin and his company have cause to be proud of. After the pdrformance Father Cassidy dined the players at his residence. Independent: When Judge Kinkaid emphatically declared in court last Sat urday that he would “not appoint any 1 masters in chancery ai all this year,” the Meredith-Dickson-Uttley-Adams- Scott gang, and the poor, unclean, editorial mendicants, were knocked into smither eens like a bomb had burst in tbeir midst, and their (to them) shrewd scheme died abornin’. Now if the inde pendent members of the board of super visors will manife|t sand enough to set down bard and flat on that gang of edi torial scabs and defenders of tax rob bers, they will receive the eternal praise of every honest man in the county. Our attention has repeatedly been called to the methods of the principal of onr city schools in his desire to in culcate his principles of political econ* omy into the studies of his pupils. This may be all right but we doubt if It is what he is supposed to be drawing his salary for. But when, in addition to this, he requires his scholars to relate the biography of prize fighters it is time to call a halt. William Wisegarver was in the city | Tuesday and called upon The Frontier. | Mr. Wisegarver subscribed for The Frontier about 14 years ago and has not missed an issue in all those years. Mr. Wisgarver, of course, is an old settler, and one that has made money by cleaving to his Holt county farm through grasshoppers, famine and other vicissitudes that beset the path of advance civilization. Once upon a time Tiie Frontier mildly protested at tbe action of the supervisors in employing one John Mor row as assistant expert on the county records. We were roundly abused for it. After Hayes took charge of the treasurer’s office this man Morrow was appointed as clerk. The settlement committee, who are now checking up Hayes’ accounts. And that the work of Morrow, did for Hayes, is so full of rank errors that our charge of his utter in competency is fully verified. His ser vices have been dispensed with and he has gone away to attend school at the earnest solicitation of his friends. For news that is reliable consult The Fron tier, $1.50 a year in. advance. Emery Baitezore appeared before County Judge McCutchan'Monday with his adopted son, Alva Baitezore, aged 7 years, and asked that he be sent to the reform school for the reason that he had set fire to the complainant’s hay stacks and barn,and that he was an untamed and all ’round ungovernable kid. The judge examined into the merits of the case and concluded that the youth was eminently qualified to enter the reform atory class, and was about to make an entry on his docket to that effect, when the boy’s uncle, Price Pabcock, appear ed and agreed to undertake the task of civilizing the urchin for a short time, when he will be sent to his father in the southern part of the state. The Sun’s comment last week on the master commissioner appointment, or, rather, the non-appointment, was about as senseless and ridiculous as anything we have seen for some time. In the first' place The Frontier did not apply for a master commissioner, .nor did it know that a master commis sioner had been applied for until we read it in the Sun. In the second place TnE Frontier has no attorney, neither has it any foreclosure cases in the dis trict court. We have expressed our yiews on this question before and it is not necessary at this time to dismiss tbe action ot the court, although we reiter ate that the cry of “sheriff’s excess” is mere buncome, balderdash, senseless rot and tactics of tbe bushwhacker. Dr. Shore, formerly of O’Neill, but now of Washington, recently performed the rather rare,, difficult and dangerous operation of ligating the Common Ca rotid Artery. The doctor Was called to see a boy who, by some accident, was shot, the shell entering the eye, totally destroying that member; the wound was dressed and the patient made as com fortable as possible but no hope was en tertained for his recovery. Some days afterward a messenger was sent for the doctor on account of profuse bleed ing, and upon examination the shell was located and found to be'deeply imbed ded near the ear. On removing the shell (which had injured the Common Ca rotid), the doctor found that he had to deal promptly with hemorrhage of that vessel, and without professional assist ance he promptly exposed the vessel and tied it, and after the lapse of more than two months the patient, we are inform ed, is doing well, the incision in the neck being about healed and the pros pects are fair for a complete recovery. Owing to the anatomical peculiarities, bifurcations and branches of this artery and the necessity, often, of tying it above and below the wound, and the skill required in making choice of a proper place to ligate, and upon which the ultimate success of the operation de pends, speaks well for the doctor's skill and ability, and the case is well worthy a place in the medical journals. It is an operation that few surgeons would un dertake without professional assistance. The renowned Sir. A&tley Cooper per formed this operation the second time it was eyer successfully performed, and thirteen years afterward he had occasion, in the interest of the profession, to suf ficiently dissect the patient upon whom the operation had been performed, to de termine nature's mode of establishing the collateral circulation and to observe the changes wrought by nature in con sequence of the operation. , A Large Attendance And a Sacceas Ail Session. NORTH NEBRASKA . SOCIETY, Beneficial Basalts Cannot Fail Whare Snob Interest Exists. This great gathering of representative citizens of North Nebraska, was the result of a call issued by the Holt County Irrigation Society, and from the success of the convention, and the general inter* est manifested and the unanimous senti ment in favor of irrigation, the society lias cause to feel well repaid and assured that its efforts have not been In vain. Thu Frontier has the space this week to give but a brief synopsis of the work of the convention, but next week will give the secretary's report in full. The convention was called to order Tuesday at 3 o’clock and Judge Kinkaid elected chairman and T. V. Golden secretary. Upon motion Mr. Murphy, of Urown, Mr. Selah, of Holt, and Mr. Gale, «f Rock, were appointed a committee on credentials, and also to report on order ot business. Mr. Gillespie made an extended report on his findings concerning tbe practi cability of an irrigation ditch from the Niobrara, Stmke and Bordman rivers. 'From the examination made by himself and Mr. Meals, he was cleaily of the opinion that an adequate ditch could be made at a comparatively small cost. Messrs. Gillespie and Meals, It will be remembers 1, wore sent out some weeks ago by tbe Holt county society for tbe purpose of making findings, collecting data, securing water rights and report same to this meeting. That a wise fore sight prompted this move the value and fullness of the report fully demonstrated. I. A. Fort, of North Platte, president of the Nebraska State Irrigation Society, then addressed the meeting upon the subject under consideration. VV. G. Price, of the United States surveying corps, wns introduced by the chairman and spoke at some length. 0. W. Potter, of Brown county, re sponded to the call of his county and made a very spirited and patriotic address. He said he was instructed by the citizens of Brown county to say that they were ready, willing and anxious to do their share in the matter of making an irrigation ditch to water Holt, Brown and Cherry counties, R. H. Clopton, of Keya Paha county, spoke for his county,.and said that the people of bis county are fully alive to the interests at stake and ready to lend a helping han'd. Thomas Carlon, of Holt county,spoke upon the future of irrigation and held his audience in close attention while be discoursed pleasantly an Instructively for some time. Ur. Gale, of Rock county, wanted it distinctly understood that Rock county was “in it” regarding the irrigation ditch. She was not only “in it’* but wants “in it” and is going to stay “in it.” After Mr. Gale's remarks the conven tion adjourned until 7:30 p. m. After re-convening at 7:30 a committee of five, on resolutions, was appointed, consist ing of the following named gentlemen: Mr. Carlon, of Holt; Mr. Gale, of Rock; Mr. Mastick, of Brown; Mr. Cloptcn, of Keya Paha and Mr. McCafferty, of Holt. The chairman in a neat speech then introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. E. R. Moses, of Great Bend, Kan. It was an eloquent and exceedingly in structive speech, a synopsis of which we will give next week. Mr. Heath, of Lincoln, editor of the Nebraska Parmer, also addressed the convention. Wednesday morning was a business session, and the proceedings were in itiated by the appointment of a com mittee for the purpose of organizing a North Nebraska Irrigation society. The committee consisted ot I. A. Fort, as chairman, Dr. McDonald, of Holt; W. D. McCord and Mr. Carr, of Keya Paha; A. H. Gale, of Rock county, after which the meeting adjourned until 2 o’clock. The afternoon session was called to order by the chairman, who introduced Mr. Emery, of , Kansas, who ad dressed the meeting for an hour. J£is remarks were well received and ho sat down amidst great applause and cries of “go on!” “go on!” Dr. Johnson, of Sioux City, also made a short talk, after which the permanent organization was effected by electing Judge Kinkaid president, T. V. Golden secretary, and allowing a vice president from each local organization. The committee on resolutions reported and the report was adopted. They read in favor.of the government taking charge of the enterprise. X - ' < .. " V, . -i. . : ' *ei:’ ' .. .v •!' »v.

Wynn—At her residence, two miles east of this city, on Wednesday morn ing, Jan. 31, 1804, at 5 o'clock a. u. of Bright’s disease, age 61 years. Mrs. Bridget Wynn was born in Coun ty Sligo, Ireland, in 1883. In 1852 she came to America and settled in Scran ton, Pennsylyania. She was married in 1854, and in 1879 she came to Nebraska with her husband, at which time they settled on their farm adjoining this city. The deceased enjoyed good health until the past year, during which time she has been a sufferer from Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and which was the cause of her death. She leaves on aged husband, two sons and two daughters, all of whom were at her bedside when she died, to mourn her death. The funeral will take place tomorrow morhlng at 11 o’clock from the home of the deceased. Tub FnoNTiEn tenders its condolence to the relatives and friends of the de ceased. _ _ 7—A Seven Sooial.—7 The “King’s Daughters” will give a Seven Social in the dining room of Hotel Evans on Tuesday evening, Feb ruary 0.

Hot A Bad Idea. What’s the matter with a telephone line from O'Neill, via Spencer, to Buttef It would cost in the neighborhood of $3,000 and would be a paying investment for each of the towns mentioned. In many of the eastern states there are tele phone lines connecting small towns that compete with the telegraph lines and pay well, and with the enormous busi ness that would naturally be done be tween Boyd county and the outside world a line would not only pay for itself in u short time but would also pay handsome dividends on the capital in vested.—Butte Gazette.

The remains were shipped on Tuesday to Milford, Nebraska, for interment. Deceased was three years of age. Three other chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Bushart are very sick but hopes are entertained fur their recovery. HO KAN’S OOLUHN. The following lines are said to hate been picked up on the streets Mondays Who killed Till FllOimaii? “I," said the First National Bank With ft vrhoopl "1 put It In the soups ■ I killed Til* PitowTlMH." Who will dlsr Its Bravo? "I," said tho Jew. with a bound, "I'll plant It ten feet under ground I iii rj “^a '■fr '> U I will dig Its gravo.

V’ No Man venture* the assertion that M this is not the first case of a rolling 'pin , ^ being burnt. The blundering Jew, who edits the sausage mill that turns out bologna man ufactured from bleeding parts of the * English language, by which he labors to express the suspicion of an Idea, says that the ‘‘county alliances should throw \ nS their Inaotlve lethargy.” Just what '} kind of lethargy he would have them adopt he leaves his readers to guess, but | It Is fair to presume that he would favor an active lethargy. Now Webster says' lethargy Is preternatural sleepiness; , ; morbid drowsiness; continued or pro found sleep fipm which a person can scarcely be awakened; dullness; Inaction. 41? It would be an Inspiring sight and well worth the price of admission to .see the county alliance possessed of active ‘‘pre- - ternatural sleepiness” and laboring with a severe case of active '‘morbid drowsi- V;l|| ness," or wrapped in Morpheus’ arms in Mf a masterly active “profound sleep." Men ;i| with the frame of a mastodon and about as much brains, occasionally attempt to v £ edit newspapers and express premature, ill-begotten ideas with the cats and dogs || of the English language and nomadlo ff hieroglyphics, and still people wonder ’’;V at crime. , >, . Practicability of Irrigation. '-JM Editors Frontier-At the last meet* mg of the irrigation convention held on January 17, there was an article read on the underflow of the Elkhorn Valley - and in discussing the practicability of ' the plan to develop the underflow. The chairman of the convention mode the statement that the development of the '7 ’ underflow has been tried and found impracticable. . u Mow 1 want to show your readers, and Slyr also the members of that convention, by r this article, that it is a success and it Is , now in use in a large number of places .'V in this and other states and hoe been found reliable in every respect, and there Is no doubt in my mind but that . it is practicable in the Elkhorn Valley , and will be one of the main links in the ' chain that will make the canal through the Elkhorn Valley a success. Three of these sub-canals are now flowing in the Arkansas valley. One of these, the first constructed, has been flowing four years discharging DO cubic feet per second, or 224.41 gallons or over 18,440 per minute, or over 806,400 gallons per hour and all the proprietors of most all the canals in that valley, large and small, are figuring on providing for the work a supply of water from the underflow. On the South Platte, near Ogalalla, Neb., the same method met with signal success. The water having been flowing in the sub-caual for more than three years. A new canal, or a system of sub-canal, tapping the underflow of the South Fork of the Republican river in northwest Kansas is well under way. Near Limou, Colorado, a Denver company has invested a half million dollars in irrigation works which em braces large storage reservoirs fed in part by the underflow from the Big Sandy. For 28 years the valley lands of Creek, a branch af Salmon Creek, abundant crops by the underflow. 1889 the water of Pine Creek diverted from its bed for mining ations. The result was entire fnilure crops. Ou Clover Creek, a branch the same Pine Creek, the water in this creek was several feet below the surface of the ground of the adjoining land and by a set of dams, so os to bring the stream almost even with the surface, the stream was so raised as to afford sufficient water to irrigate crops. These are illustrations ot the fact that throughout the plains of Kansas. Colo rado and Nebraska this method of securing water is a success and that it will be the reclamation of large areas of land which would be without water supply for irrigation but for the employ ment of this method can scarcely be doubted by any one who will carefully study the facts of surface characteristics of the Elkhorn Valley and divides its draws, and their outcrops, its springs, sand beds and dooIs together with an intelligent consideration of the facts to be drawn from a knowledge of wells made by private enterprise throughout the Elkhorn Valley show forth its sub terranean resources as clearly and with as much certainty as a man’s character may he judged from his face. . .
