Sunday school presented Miss Lillie Bowen with a bethitifm album last Sunday, as a token oflleeu and appreciation of her services as secretary of the Sunday school, a position she has held the past year. The Wizard oil people are in the city giving nightly entertainments and dis posing of their remedies between acts. Their stereopticon views are very fine and their entertainment refined through out. They will remain in the city until next Tuesday. Imagine a professor attempting to de prive his scholars of the pleasant privi lege of writing for the press. He may subdue and entitely kill the literary spirit of his school but he can never bridle the press, whose duty it always is to expose imposters. 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 something over $200, instead of him owing the county $600 as they found in their former settlement. Valentine Republican: District court closed here yesterday afternoon. Judge Kinkaid has been persistent in his labor to make clean the pages of the court docket. The court bad a great amount of work on band from the be ginning and accomplished much before the close. _ 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 j prowess. Pete Kutcher, of Chambers, met with an accident while in O’Neill Monday. While handling some baled hay at the Diamond livery barn he fell against a manger and broke his nose. Dr. Gilligan straigtened the injured organ and made the patient as comfort able as possible under the circumstances. Wm. Barnes, of Butte, who was acci dently shot in the foot last Thursday by Editor Armstrong, arrived in the city Monday on bis way to Sioux City for treatment, the local doctors of Boyd being unable to locate the bullet. He was accompanied to Sioux City by Dr. Warner, E. R. Maxam and W. P. Bridgeman of his town. The "sport carnival” at the rink Saturday night would have fallen almost unbearably flat had it not been for the bouts between local men. The main feature of the evening, a ten round go by Jack Davis and Professor Simpson, was awful. Simpson can’t spar fast enough to keep his blood in circulation. Tne crowd was very small. Gutzman in his Beacon Light warns everybody to beware of militia com panies. The poor fossil. Time is not far distant when military tactics will be taught in every high school in the United States. As a physical recre ation it is unexcelled; as a patriotic duty it is a necessity. Tramps and rcg-flag gera always did abhor the fife and drum. 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. Btock Cattle! I am prepared to furnish stock cattle of all ages, or will buy on contract or commission. Frank Anderson, 32tf U. S. Yds., Sioux City, Iowa. 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.” _ Pvt Your Money in the Ground In the form of Landfeths Seeds.

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. The Misses O'Malley and Menish graced the various rooms of the Temple with their presence on Thursday. The subject of next Monday’s debate is “Resolved, That the Members of the Legislature of the United States Should Be JSlected By the People." The partic ipants’ names will appear later. The pangs of first love have made a temporary foothold in the tender heart of a worthy young gentleman of the sophomore class, but our lips are sealed 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.

The Frontier Is slightly mistaken when it says that we are a “bright" pupil of Morrow’s. The fact
