Tns Frontier has heard considerable
talk the past week of the probabilities
of a petition being presented to the
school board, the prayer of which
would be that the schools be closed on
account of the universal dissatisfaction
that exists regarding their management.
B. P. Neher, a populist slandered by
Gutzman. in a communication to the
Graphic says that while he is 56 years
old that if the Jew will set the time and
(flace he will whip him so thoroughly
that the "independents of Holt or the
devil, his father, will not know him.’’
This is some of Gutzy’s rural “fluence.”
Have you seen the new line of $5
pants at Mann’s? J. P. says they are
the best bargain he has ever had in the
line of clothing,strictly all wool, western
made cassimere and if you are hard to
tit be will have a pair made to order for
you at the same price. This looks like
a big offer; better look it up when you
want pants.
The Ban and Beacon Light, contrary
to the tree trade principles they advo
cate, insist that people giving entertain
ments in O’Neill must employ Kautz
man’s orchestra. There is no doubt
but that the people doing the employing
will consider the price, qnality ot music
and then consult their own wishes.
Nothing eyer was made by boycot.
Gutzman rather over-reacbed himself
as an oracle in bis article last week
wherein he related to bis readers how
ready and overly anxious King was to
aceept the position of police judge to
“protect himself from the several young
country fellows who might have it in
for him for the miserable falsehoods he
has published.” If our readers will
kindly over-look the expression we will
simply exclaim, rats!
The Independent Order of Odd Fel

an extra good one and on the back left

address and name. Address all inform

company F. Nebraska National
Guards is making arrangements for a
grand May-day ball. It is Captain
Meredith’s intention to give a short
company drill, to bo followed by an
officers drill, before the ball commences.
Indications are that the splendor of this
entertainment will eclipse that of the
company’s former effort. Every lone is
invited to participate in the festivities
of the occasion.
The Sun last week published a state
ment by request of the school board,
so it says, to the effect that The Fron
tier’s assertions regarding the condi
tion of the public schools are “without
foundation, malicious and untrue." It
would seem to us that the school board,
which is responsible for the present
deplorable state of affairs,had committed
crime enough without now attempting
to defend their mistake and force the
people to believe that white is black or
other propositions of equal absurdity,
for shame! _
Again The Frontier desires to warn
Holt county residents against the folly
of fleeing from the evils we have here In
Holt county to those in California that
we know not of. For Instance, the
Ewing Democrat says: “D. W. Farrell
a former agent at this station was in
town n short time today. Mr. Farrell
moved his family to California the first
of the year where they still reside. Since
moving there he has been tendered a
position in the mail service which he
promptly accepted. His run will be on
this line from Long Pine west.”
Spencer Advocate: The Concord stage
line, under the management of A. O.
Perry, is receiving a well deserved rep
utation along the whole route, and one
only has to look back but a short time
since and the contrast between the then
public conveyance through Boyd and
Holt counties with the now easy and
quick mode of travel, to appreciate the
change. Mr. Perry has on the road a
number of freight teams, which travel
the route from O’Neill, Spencer and
Butte at regular intervals. His charges
are reasonable and he in every way is
responsible for the safe delivery of all
freight handled by him. He should be
encouraged.
One of Kautzman’s rural constituents
has found him out and gives the formula
to the public in this language: “The
diabolical methods he employs in treat
ing every subject of a partisan nature
and the contemptible manner in which
he defames and calumniates individuals
who oocupv no official position, is a dis
grace to journalism and an outrage on
the amenities of social life. He is but a
pitiful piece of putrid political pollution
in which no shade or color of manhood
abides. He is a moral dwarf, so infin
itesimal that the most powerful micro
scope could not find a grain of sand in
his gizzard or divine scrutiny discover a
scintilla of manly virtue in his mental
structure.’’ _
Michael Harrington and H. E. Murphy
are taking quite an active part in the
prosecution of Barrett Scott, notwith
standing the case has been taken into
the jurisdiction of another county at
torney. The Frontier has no objec
tion to these gentlemen following this
case to the ends of the earth so long as
they do it without price and pay their
own expenses. There is a section in the
statutes of Nebraska which says that
when a change of venue is taken into
another county it then becomes the duty
of the county attorney residing in the
county to which the change is taken to
prosecute the case. If the supervisors
allow these attorneys anything for their
services it will be more money unlaw
fully appropriated and almost criminally
thrown away. We shall see.
Mortuary*
WALKER—In Middle Branch, Holt
county, Neb., on Monday, April 19,
Mrs. John Walker, aged 54 years.
Deceased was an old resident of Holt
county and leaves eleven children, an
aged husband and many warm friends to
mourn her demise. Among the children
areJ. 8. Walker, postmaster at Page,
and Mrs. Elmer Merriman, of this city.
The funeral took place yesterday at
10 o’clock, the remeins being interred in
the Middle Branch cemetery.
Ths Scott Trial.
The following from the State Journal
gives the present statue of the Scott case
pretty fully with the exception that the
Neligh court baa continued the case
until September 4, and fixed the bond at
$70,000: “The expected appeal of
Barrett Scott, the ex-treasurer of Holt
county who Is now in jail charged with
embezzling $70,00 of Holt county funds,
from the Judgment of the district court
of Antelope county denying his appli
cation for freedom upon a writ of
heabeas corpus, was filed yesterday in
the supreme court.
“Scott's return from Mexico and his
arraignment on the charge of embezzling
public funds is still fresh In the minds
of newspaper readers. He was Indicted
by the Holt county grand jury and
arrested upon the charge. February 2t,
at tne ruguiar term of the Holt count;
district court,Scott made application for
a change of the place of trial to some
county adjoining the county of Holt in
the Fifteenth judicial district. This
application for a change of veniie was
heard by the court and it was adjudged
that Scott could not obtain an impartial
trial in Holt county and Scott was given
into the custody of Sheriff J. G. drink
law, of Antelope, the court ordering
that the trial be held in Antelope county.
“Scott’s attorneys objected to going to
trial in Antelope county, claiming that
it was outside the judicial district, that
the order was contrary to law and that
therefore Scott was unlawfully deprived
of his liberty by Bheriff Orinklaw. Ap
plication was made for a writ of habeas
corpus in the district court of Antelope
county, before Judge JohnS. Robinson,
on the ground that Scott was unlawfully
deprived of bis liberty. The petition
was based on the section of the statute
which provides for a change of venue to
adjoining counties in the district, but if
objection is made to all the counties,
then the case may be taken to the near
est county in the adjoining district. In
Scott’s case he was sent out of the dis
trict without objection being made. His
application for habeas corpus was based
on section 4507 of Cobbey’s statutes,
which is as follows:
* “In all cases in which it may be
made to appear to the court that a fair
and impartial trial cannot be had in the
county where the suit is pending, or
when the judge is interested or has been
of counsel in the case or subject matter
thereof, or is related to either of the
parties, or is otherwise disqualified to
sit, the court may on application of
either party change the place of trial to
some adjoining county, wherein such
impartial trial dkn be had; but if object
ion be against all the counties in the
district, then to the nearest county in
adjoining district.’’
Scott’s application states that although
Rock and Boyd counties adjoin Holt
county, are in the Fifteenth district, yet
the court sent him to Antelope county
which is in another district. In pur
suance of this order he was placed in
the Antelope county jail at Neligh April
0. This he claims is unlawful and with
out authority of law. Judge Robinson
denied the writ and Scott brings the
case to the supreme court on error. He
alleges error in that the court adjudged
that the district court of Antelope
county had jurisdiction of criminal pro
ceedings in the case pending, and that
the court erred in finding, that he might
be tried without his consent for a crime
committed within the state, outside of
the judicial district wherein the crime is
alleged to have been committed.
“It is understood that Scott’s attor
neys, Brome and Jones, will file a
motion Tuesday, when the supreme
court sits, asking that the habeas corpus
case be advanced. In the meantime
Scott will remain in the jail at Neligh
and his embezzlement case will not be
tried on its merits until the supreme
court decides the habeas corpus matter.”
PitaM and Cong-raw.
Congressional candidates are becom
ing numerous and there are already a
number of them in the big Sixth. It has
been rumored that Judge Kinkaid would
probably enter the race but up to the
present time he has not declared himself
publicly, if he may have done so to a
few personal friends. The Journal is
pleased to publish the following inter
view with him, from which it will be
seen that he will be a candidate.
When Judge Kinkaid was in the city
the lost time he was approached by a
Journal reporter on the question of who
who was to make the race for congress
on the republican ticket. He was asked
who were the probable candidates, and
replied that there were several in the
field.
"Have you been thinking of making
the race vourself. Judge?”
"Well, I do not know that I am pre
pared to answer that question at the
present time.”
"Have you been spoken to in regard
to this mateer yet?”
"Yes, several of my friends have
.... v --r’s~ „ v >v- .■rJ- ^ «s;:*■&;
advised me to announce myself ai a
candidate."
“Do you think you will accede to
their wishes?"
“I cannot lay juit at present.”
“If you were convinced that the party
wanted you to make the race would you
agree to do so?”
“I rather think that I should be In*
dined to.”
“Then I am to understand you will be
a candidate?"
“If I shall receive much further as
surance, I shall be, and if the party sees
lit to nominate me I shall do all in my
power to make a successful race, you
may depend upon that.”
From the above it will be seen that
Judge Kinkald is h candidate, as there
1s little doubt but that he will reoeive
considerable assurance that he is the
proper person to succeed Mr. Kem. No
man whom the republican party might
nominate would stand a better show of
election than Judge Kinkald and his
nomination will be equivalent to his
election.— Ohadron Journal.

Oratorical exercises were indulged in
last Friday by the pupils of the high
school and second grammar department.
The scholars of the high chool express
their sincere sorrow for Miss Susie
Quilty, who has accepted the preceptor*
ship of a school four or five miles north
of town. _
The rhetoric class is rapidly progress
ing under the able management of Miss
Carlon and the literary productions of
many of the pupils are worthy of favor
able comment. _
In the certificate of the pupils last
week Morrow failed to state that he
compelled about one-third of them to
sign it, and also that in one case he
fraudulently affixed the name of a
certain pupil thereto. Shame on such
an ignoramus who will force Innocent
children to defend himt
Messrs. Mathews and Tom Golden en
couraged the teachers and pupils by
making a pleasant visit to the various
departments, on Friday, and having
brought with them a camera, leveled
snap shots at the scholars in the three
higher rooms. Neat little speeches
were delivered by both gentlemen, and
when they departed Morrow probably
wondered if they had with them a like
ness of Schoolboy’s classic features.
Mrs. Taylor is deserving of the high
est praise for the novel method which
she has invented for the inculcation of
the prlncptes of journalism upon the
minds of her pupils. This plan oonsists
in the publication of a weekly paper
within the school, which is edited by
each pupil in their turn. If Morrow
permits this wholesome practice to con
tinue (which is very improbable) the
pupils will reap many advantages which
will be a benefit to them in after life.
It has come to our notice that Miss
Carlon, assistant principal, has accused
us of trying to cast a shadow .of dis
approval on her administration while
acting in the capacity of a teacher. Now
all we have to say to this is that what
ever may be our personal feelings
towards this estimable lady, we request
our readers to reflect no false light on
our gramatical constructions, which are
meant only tf expose the deception
which Morrow has practiced upon the
board and patrons of the schools and we
beg to assure the reading public that
Miss Carlon’s course, both as a lady and
a teacher, is above criticism.

has at last seen the innate vulgarity of
turning a social function Into an oppor
tunity for collecting property, It will
take the highly respectable middle class
that occupy this belt a few years to find
out that the next smart set above have
stopped giving 'progressive high fives.’
when they do, immediately the scales
will fall from their Island eyes, they will v
