Imagine a professor attempting to de

The settlement committee was in the
city again this week working on ex
Treasurer Hayes’ settlement. This time
they found that the county owed Body

owing the county $600 as they found

closed here yesterday afternoon. Judge
Kinkaid has been persistent in his

A crazy man in charge of two attend
ants was transferred from the F. E. to
the Short Line Monday morning. They
were from the Black Hills and enroute
to Sioux Falls. He was of a very
savage turn of mind and his keepers
bore external evidences of his frenzied

The "sport carnival” at the rink
Saturday night would have fallen almost
unbearably flat had it not been for the

feature of the evening, a ten round go

was awful. Simpson can’t spar fast

Tne crowd was very small.

Judge Bowen’s family left yesterday
morning for Lincoln, where they expect
to reside in the future. The judge will
remain in the city for a week arranging
business matters when he will join his
family. Tiie Frontier wishes the
estimable family unlimited happiness
and prosperity in their new home.
Mr. and Mrs. John Golden were
agreeably surprised last Friday evening
by a large number of their young friends
dropping in to spend the evening. A
program was quickly arranged and the
evening spent in the en|oyment that is
to be found on the fantastic toe when
concords of sweet sounds ruffle the
ethereal mildness.
D. L. Darr returned Monday evening
from his trip through the southern
states. He has purchaaed some land
near West Plains, Mo., Aid in a short
time will remove his family to that
place and engage in the fruit raising
business. This is the home of Lew
Shanner and Otto Miltz, the latter of
whom accompanied Mr. Darronhis trip.
Dancers who failed to attend the
party at the rink last Tuesday evening
will probably never know just how
nice a time they missed. The music
was of the first grade and the hall just
comfortably filled with congenial com
pany. The receipts were more than was
anticipated and will add materially to
the fund being raised for cemetery im
provement. _
The entertainment given by the ladies
at the rink last Monday evening for the
benefit of the cemetery fund was not as
well patronized as their efforts deserved.
The program was pleasing throughout
and the actors were frequently encored.
Miss Maud Gillespie as the "Mouse Trap”
star was exceptionally good. The
Italian band, from Sioux City, furnished
the music.
Charlie Pond, of the Exchange Hotel,
informs us that he has decided to con
tinue in the hotel business at the old
stand. It was his intention to move to
bis farm south of town, but found a
purchaser in J. E. Johnson, of Bell
fouche, S. D , who will occupy the farm
and become a Holt county resident.
The Frontier is pleased to see Mr.
Pond remain in the hotel business and
also welcomes Mr. Johnson among us.
Barrett Scott and attorneys went
down to Heiigh Monday to stand trial
in that district, under an order from the
court in this district. We see by the
dailies that Scott applied for habeas
corpus before the district court there
and was denied the writ, but appealed
to the supreme court. The despatches
do not state upon what grounds he
asked the writ but we presume it was on
account of being sent out of this district
against his will.
Beacon Light: The delay in Mr. Har
mon’s confirmation as register of the
land office might lead one of very nerv
ous temperament to believe that there
would come a slip between the cup and
the lip, and that too much intimacy
with the Barrett Scott kind of dem
ocrats, who politically and otherwise
patronize his republican newspaper
apologists, in preference to the only
true democratic paper in the county, is
likely to be investigated at Washington.
Mr. Harmon’s appointment was con
firmed by the senate last Tuesday.
J. H. Cotton and wife, of Omaha,
arrived in the city Saturday evening,
remaining until Thursday morning,
when they departed for Butte via the
Concord stage line. Mr. Cotton is re
porter for the World-Herald and was
here for the purpose of picking up valu
able items of news for his paper. He
found, ot course, irrigation the princi
pal topic of conversation anl gave it
due consideration. In conversation
with a Frontier man Mr. Cotton ex
pressed himself as being very much im
pressed with the enterprise and thought
there was no reason that it should not
be made a perfect and complete success.
The Amelia postofflce is now a bone of
ooutention among rival politicans in
that vicinity. Fred Austin, present
postmaster and republican, wishes to
hold his job which is coveted by Mrs. A.
A. Anderson, editor of the Journal, and
it is said somewhat inclined to the popu
listic side ot things. Mr. A. C. Sam
mons was appointed by Cleveland not a
great while ago, but refused to qualify
and turned his appointment and resig
nation over to Austin with a letter to
1 Grover requesting that the present in
cumbent be retained, which, together
with a petition signed by all of the
patrons of the office was forwarded to
headquarters last week. Mrs. Ander
son worked a different vein and secured
the indorsement of influential Holt
coun‘y democrats. The result will be
watched with interest by people in the
vicinity of the seat of wai.

Why Is * hen immortal? Because her
son never sets.—Gutxman’s Beacon
Light.
That silly gag has been a space filler
in comic and patent medicine almanacs
ever since the dawn of the nineteenth
century, yet Gutzy publishes it as an
exotic plant that spontaneously sprung
from hla own fertile genius. But it is just
as original with Gutzy as is the title of
his paper, which he claims to have dis
covered and adopted. It was not an
uncommon newspaper title long before
the O’Neill egotist was born. The only
thing novel about his connection with
the cognomen is the fact that his Beacon
Light is the first one that was ever moved
about the country on the wheels in a
fool’s head.—Graphic.
Mr. Morrow’s soliloquy after reading
"School-boy’s’’ communication in last
week’s Frontier: “Zounds! I am in
part discovered. -Would that I knew
who writes those communications that
I might mete out punishment in a
degree commensurate to my injured
feelings. But how can It be done? Oh,
I have it: I will lecture my school upon
the subject Monday morning and per
chance move the culprit to confession.
If I fail in that I will draw up a general
denial of tho authorship and cause it to
be signed by my pupils; of course the
^author will not sign it and then I will
have attained my object; but it that
should fall through I guess I will
suppress the newepapers. I really
don’t see any other way to prevent the
public from getting on to me and my
methods.’’ ■
The following from an eastern ex
change la eminently correct: “It Is an
admitted fact that during the recent
flurry in financial affairs no agency did
more potent work to maintain confi
dence among the people In the money
institutions than the country news
papers. They all swore by their towns
and their banks, boosted them up as the
safest in the land, managed by able
financiers and equal to any emergency.
In some towns we know of had the
local papers just dropped a hint of one
line that things were not exactly safe
there would have been such runs on the
banks that would have “busted them into
smithereens." It’s the local paper that
keeps down excitement in perilous
times, throws oil on the troubled waters
and makes all men better by its being
published in the community. It de
serves all the support good citizens can
give it.” _

Rot** From th* Tempi* of Ltarnlng.'
Monday morning dawned as April
Monday morning* usually dawn In Ne
braska—a little unploasant of course but
without the faintest shadow of a
tragedy; but, ye gods) what a com
motion greeted the handful of "high
school” scholars who entered the room
and sneaked to tbeir pews, followed by
the glaring looks of the great manl An
awful silence, such as that which ac
companies the approach of death,
ensued. Order! It was be who broke
the silence. We shall not attempt to
describe the scene, much less the feelings
of tha^ terror stricken assembly. The
great man then poured forth his tale of
woe. It was about Schoolboy. He
told of the terrible ravages committed
on the good name and well being of the
school by Schoolboy, of the awful
thing* we said concerning one fellow
correspondent, of the slanderous reports
of the "lover’s lane,” and concluded bis
remarks by saying that Schoolboy wsb
not a gentleman. By the grace of God
we do not claim to be a gentleman; we
are only a schoolboy, and nothing more.
But listen: while all this was in progress
Tom miraculously produced a long slip
of paper and by dogged remarks warned
all those who would not affix their John
Hancock to It that they would suffer
the consequences. Some of the pupils,
who dared not refuse, signed without
perusing It, while many who refused
were at last bullied Into signing it, and
yet others, composed of the material
that makes a patriotic nation, ignored
the dire threats of the pedant and re
fused to have anything to do with tho
slanderous petition, the object of which,
we are informed, was viz: To malign
and slander Schoolboy, to suppress hl.s
communications and to prevent all
persons excepting Student from writing
school items. In the mean time School
boy is prepared to make affidavit to the
truth of every statement eyer made in
this column and is alone responsible
for all theories which he may advance.
We also wish to inform Morrow that
notwithstanding his petition game, we
are allowed by a special dispensation
from the providence of God to exist for
the present and partake with him of the
air and freedom of America.

is “Resolved, That the Members of the

temporary foothold in the tender heart
of a worthy young gentleman of the

as to his identity, for Cbolly told us not
to give it away.

EXIT OV THE PEDAOOODE
A preoepter most discerning
In an emerald village dwelt.
Who withstanding fabulous learning
Was a hair-toothed Celt.
Be was restless and uneasy
As he grasped at fortune’s pole.
But his hands became too greasy
And he slipped into a hole.
So he tired of his profession
And he wandered far there from
For his pupils In succession
Had all tired of “Simple Tom.”
In last Monday’s debate, the subject
of which was “Resolved, That the In
dians Have Been Imposed Upon More
Than the Negroes By the United
States Government," the affirmative side,
consisting of Misses Alice Cronin, Gertie
Norval and Mary Cullen gained the
ascendency over Misses Mary Clark and
Maggie Dwyer and Syren Freeland, who
constituted the negative side.
The Frontier Is slightly mistaken
when it says that we are a “bright"
pupil of Morrow’s. The fact <s that no
bright pupil could exist in the same
atmosphere with the man.
Schoolboy.
Those who never read the advertise*
ments in their newspapers miss more
than they presume. Jonath Kenison,
of Bolan. Io., . who had been troubled
with rheumatism in bis back, arms and
shoulders read an item in his paper about
how a prominent German citizen of Ft.
Madison had been cured. He procured
the same medicine, and to use his own
words: “It cured me right up." He
also says: “A neighbor and his wife
were both sick in bed with rheumatism.
The boy was over in my house and said
they were so bad he had to do the cook
ing. I told him of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm and how it had cured me. He got
a bottle and it cured them up in a week.”

The above out hai been prepared at
great expense and no little amount of
Inconvenience to enable No Man to
give Froktibh reader* a faithful like
new of the “youngest police Judge la
the state," and at the same time give ■
them an opportunity of beholding the
beauties and redeeming points to bo
found In his Judicial mug, “without
being obliged to come to town by fam
ilies to see him personally." It Was
only yesterday that Kid King exhibited
to No Man an artistic scrap of parch
ment bearing the seal of the city clerk,
which duly certified that the aforemen
tioned King had been regularly elected
to the exalted position of police Judge
for the city of O’Neill, elevated to the
bench and draped In the ermine of
office as it were. But the Kid Informs
us that be will not accept the responsi
ble position. Not that he in any degree
falls to appreciate the compliment ten
dered and the trust reposed In him by a
plurality of his countrymen, but that
he feels the duties of a rigorous magis
trate and vigorous newspaper writer to
be incompatible; that It would not look
becoming to roast some miscreant
through the press and then be called
upon to interpret law In the same ease
and perhaps in the end And him
not guilty. Besides he deeply feels that
his tender years would In no wise bring
to or maintain any superfluous dignity
in the vicinity of the bench, ana for
•hose and other reasons be will allow '
the city mayor to choose by appoint
ment some personage worthy and cap
able by virtue of his years and
experience.
Gutman maka the Monk tick.
A couple of fair damaels were seen
perambulating about town Tuesday
evening in masculine attire. Who they
were or the object of the disguise the
engineer of this train of thought has
not been apprised, but he would tear* ’
fully admonish tbe giddy girls to at all .
times strive to subdue those coltish ten
dencies and tenaciously cling to the
flowing skirts and furbelows fashioned
for them by custom adopted by a long
and illustrious line of sedate ancestors.
And now that egotistical pedagogue,
Morrow, has established a censorship ,
over the press and private individuals,
with the school .house as his main office.
Highly incensed on account of "School*
boy’s” communication of last week, he
took occasion Monday to severely re*
buke the pupils of tbe entire school and
collectively and individually roasted
them to a turn, juBt as though he wes
drawing a salary for shoving his nasal
organ into other people’s affairs. Th*
Frontier happens not to be under this
nonentity’s fancied jurisdiction, neither
is its correspondent. We lay claim to
the grand and heretofore unquestioned
privilege of publishing anything that
we see fit so long as it is not contrary
to the constitution, the laws of the
United States or the state of Nebraska,
and our correspondents are entitled to
write unaer the same restrictions when*
ever they choose to avail themselves of
tbe privilege. If our correspondent
is a pupil of Morrow’s it doesn’t legiti
mately follow that he has the right to .
require tbe disclosure of identity. If
"School-boy’s” pointed remarks barbed
with truth happen to lascerate the .
professor's tender hide let him mend his
ways and lay himself less open to criti
cism. Fact is he is a monumental booby
and an effigy in his profession.
