Tried and true is the verdict of people who take Hood's Sarsaparilla. The good effects of this medicine are soon felt in the nerve strength restored, appetite created and health given. Miss Annie Lowie desires a class in instrumental music. While in Chi cago she enjoyed the instruction of Prof. Watts, of the College of Music, and other musical opportunities. Albion News: North Nebraska’s two state officers, Treasurer Bartley and Auditor Moore, will be nominated by acclamation, and only for the Australian ballot law, would be elected in the same manner.

After some choice music and a few games refreshments were served, after which all prepared to go home, each expressing regret that the evening had passed so quickly. Bonesteel News: Col. Az Perry and Agent Dobbs, of O'Neill, were in the city Friday discussing the feasibility of extending the Concord stage line through from Butte to Bonesteel, thus making a daily trip from O’Neill to Bonesteel, a distance of sixty miles, which would be a grand good thing and meet the approval of the citizens unanimously. M. P. Kinkaid, Col. Towle and D. H. Cronin left Monday morning to attend the congressional committee meeting which was held at Kearney Tuesday. Messrs. Kinkaid and Towle went down to look after their respective congres sional booms, while Mr. Cronin will represent Holt County republicans at the committee meeting, being committee man from this county. Chains E. Ulrich, of the Home Savings and State bank, Peoria, 111., arrived in the city Wednesday evening and will remain several days. Mr. Ulrich comes on business and while here will trade some fine Arkansas land for Holt county property if he finds anybody so inclined. He is favorably impressed with our oounty and the enterprise our citizens display in promoting irrigation. The beginning of the municipal year witnessed several changes in the saloon business in O’Neill. Miles Gibbons has dropped out and O’Connor & Gallagher have moved into the building formerly occupied by him, while S. F. McNichols has moved into the old Critic, formerly occupied by O’Connor & Gallagher. It is rumored that Elsworth Mack will, about the 1st of June, open up a saloon in the building vacated by McNichols. Died—May 5, 1894, Phillip Hayes, age 95 years. The deceased was born in county Tipperary, Ireland and emigrated to Canada fifty years ago, from which countrv he removed to Holt county about 14 years ago. On Monday last his remains were conveyed from the Catholic church to (he cemetery at this place, where his wife and only son, William, preceded him a few years since. Three daughters survive him; one resides in Detroit, Mich.; one in Canada, and the other at North Bend, Neb. Mr. Haves possessed many noble traits of character and his tales of the exciting events in his native country, which he witnessed almost a century ago, -endeared him to many who will miss his kindly face. We know that many people are under the impression that they can save money by sending away from home for cloth ing, carpets, dry goods, etc., and that they frequently do so without getting prices at borne, and find out later that they have not saved anything by doing so. Clothing has not been as cheap in thirty years as at present, and if you will get our prices you will be convinced that you do not have to send away • for bargains. Our stock is very complete and the prices will suit you. We can furnish a strictly first-class tailor made suit to order at from 818 to $30, which is from 10 to 20 per cent, cheaper than last year, and our 85 all wool pants, made to measure cannot be beaten any where in the United States. Yours truly, 44-2 J. P. Mann. The Frontier last night received a letter from its senior editor, who was in attendance at the congressional com mittee meeting at Kearney Tuesday. We make an extract: "The convention will be held in Custer county at Broken Bow and will be held not less than ten days nor more than twenty days before the state convention. The representa tion will be based upon the vote cast for I. M. Raymond for presidential elector in 1892, and will be one vote for every county in the district and one for every hundred votes or fraction thereof. This will give us twelve delegates and make a convention of 199. Kinkaid is strictlv 'Jn it’ and I believe is sure to be nomin ated. The fight will be between him and Mallalieu. From indications here Jack McCall will have a walk away in I the gubernatorial sprint." I Graphic: T. V. Golden, of O’Neill, a prominent and active factor in promot ing the irrigation project in northern Nebraska, was in Atkinson Tuesday and reports everything favorable for speedily pushing forward that great enterprise. This morning’s Sioux City papers bring tidings of great foy to the dem ocrats. Elmer Williams, of Atkinson, was yesterday appointed receiver of the O’Neill land office. If this had happended a month ago the big Sixth would now have one less candidate for congressional emoluments, as the doughty Col. Towle would now be basking in the salubrious sunshine of a California spring, inhaling ozone made intoxicating by the subtle perfnme of a million opening buds, else riding the crest of the waves on the sounding sea, or reclining his corpulency in the trough of the same. Anyway if Grover had been less leisurely in his actions the congressional complication here would haye been avoided. The Frontier is not advised as to whether the colonel will move to California before his nom ination or move and return to make the race. An exchange remarks: The store keeper Who expects to do much business in 1894 must practice the lesson taught in the following story. Two frogs found themselves in a pail of milk and they could not jump out. One of them was for giving up and said to the other, “Good by; I sink, I die." Said his mate, “Brace up, you old duffer! Keep a jumpin' and see what turns up.’ So they kept jumping up and down all night and by morning had so churned the milk that it turned to butter, and they jumped off the butter to the ground. Applied to business the fable means this: if you want the business of 1894 to exceed the business of 1893, ‘keep a jumpin.” Don’t cry, ‘I sink, I die!’ The merchant who continues looking for bad times will not survive to see gool times. The man who keeps a jumpin' will see good times first. Carry a level head, buy standard goods and keep a good, clean Block, an attractive store and advertise with bright, attrac tive ads.” The true sriends of home government have never been pleased with the Ne braska township law, the like of which was never known before, truthfully remarks the Columbus Journal. Seem ingly it was designed by politicians to become odious and in the near future perish out of sight because of offensive features. There has been no limit to the amount of curses, loud , and deep, that have been heaped on the principle of township organization, when they properly belonged to a defective system inaugurated for the purpose of making the principle obnoxious. Those citizens who in other states lived for years under just systems of township organization have known all along that our statutes could be greatly improved upon, and bring them somewhere near What other states east of us had been enjoying and thriving under. A convention has been called to meet in the senate chamber, Lincoln, May 15, to discuss much needed amendments to our laws. Platte, Holt, Cuming, York, Hall and Gage counties send committees, and seventeen out of the thirty counties of the state working under township organization, have signified the intention of being repre ssed. Supplementary. The following remarks, which should hare followed the Sunday school con vention program last week, are handed in by the officers: The sessions of the convention will be held in the M. E. church. Papers and addresses to be discussed will be limited to 30 minutes. Every school should be represented. Pastors and superintendents are dele gates. Delegates will be entertained. Bring your bible. Pray for the success of the convention. W. R. Jackson, Pres. O. H. Churchill, Sec. Notice to Canal and Railroad Contractors. Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received at the office of the secretary of the Elkhorn Irrigation Company, at O’Neill, Holt county, Ne braska, up to 6 o’clock p. ii. of June 1, 1894, for constructing an irrigation ditch according to profiles and specifica tions on file in the secretary's office.

The new city council met in first regular session last Monday night. Mayor Dickson, Clerk Martin, Council men Gat*, Wagers, Pfund, DeYarman and Mernman, present; absent, John McBride. Fred Gats was elected chairman of the council for the ensuing year by a unanimous rote. £. H. Benedict was elected city at torney, Joe Miller city weighmaster and Charley Hall city marshal, water com missioner and road overseer. The appointment of Mark Erwin as nightwatchman was announced by the mayor but the council declined to con firm at that time and the matter went over. The mayor then read a message to the council vetoing the action before taken in regard to leasing the light plant. It was as follows: Gentlemen of the city council—I beg leave to teturn to you not signed the proposed lease of the Electric Light & Power Company, of this city, which you instructed the cleik and myselt to make and sign. I must respectfully de cline to sign the same for the reason that in my judgment it is illegal and not within the power of the city to make. It. R. Dickson, Mayor. John McHugh, president of the Elec tric Light & Power Company, then made proposals substantially as follows: The said power company agrees to do the pumping tor the city of O'Neill for the ensuing year at $45 per month, pro vided: in the event of the city using water from the hydrants to sprinkle the streets, the sum of $60 per annum shall be charged additional, and that as the water mains are extended a propor tional amount shall be added to said monthly rental. This proposition was accepted. It was moved seconded and carried that the sum of 9290.77 be transferred from the general tund to a fund to be known as the water fund, and the treas urer be instructed to pay coupons of water bonds as they mature. The mayor's salary was then fixed at $50, and the salary of each of the coun cilmen at $25 for the ensuing year. The following standing committees were named by the mayor: Water—Wagers, DeYarman and Gatz. Printing and supplies—Merriman and DeYarman. Judiciary—McBride Merriman and Wagers. Board of health—DeYatman, Merri man and Pfund. Meeting adjourned until 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, TCESDAT MORNING'S SESSION. Council met as per adjournment and started the morning's business by con firming tbe appointment of Mark Erwin as nighlwatcbman. Saloon licenses and druggist permits were granted to all applicants, arrange ments made for extention of the water mains and other unimportant business disposed of. after which tbe council adjourned. VOTES FBOX THE TEMPLE OF LEASHIKO Charlie Meals went up to Atkinson Tuesday afternoon. Had Morrow continued to give lessons in the "manly art,” fistic cronology, etc., which branches he was the first O’Neill professor to introduce into the schools, boys might learn to whip their big sister’s objectionable beaux, if nothing more. As it is the few who rashly exposed themselves to his in structions have simply wasted eight or nine months, with the exception of learning a little about the principles of the independent party and how to say, “I is,” “we has,” etc. Pat Holland, of Qrattan, was a Friday caller at the high school. Superintendent Jackson visited the schools Friday afternoon. He opened his mouth to make a few remarks, but we think that his disgust at the mode of engineering the school prevented the gentleman from saying very much. Miss Katie Cain, Mrs. Kincaid and Harvey Bentley took in the schools Thursday. Monday’s debate—“Resolved, That An Amendment to the Constitution Should Be Ratified By a Direct Vote of the People”—was affirmatively discussed by Mamie Cullen and Charlie Meals, and negatively by Byron Freeland and Miss Norval. Affirmative won. Morrow refused to permit the scholars of the second grammar department to take part in the literary entertainment of the schools at the close of the term. This is contrary to the rules of the school and is an insult to Mrs. Taylor and her scholars. The pupils of this department have received careful ora torical training from Mrs. Taylor, who is herself a fin^elocutionist. and the idea that her room would not be allowed a representation in public school affairs is too a'bsurd to emit from any mind save the bigoted Morrow. „ Schoolboy.

It Wasn’t Conspiracy, Oh, Kol We give below another invoice of the tas list discussion between Supervisor Roll and the editor of the Ewing Advo - cate. The Advocate denied that there was a put up job, in fact swore that there was not, but along came old re liable Frank Phillips, of- Star, who by affidavit deposes and says and quotes a converse! ion had with the Advocate man: i ne Advocate took back one of their wilful lies in regard to my voting on the tax list. They say I did not vote to save the county <1,200. That is another of their malicious false statements, but that doesn’t cut' any figure with the Advocate outfit for falsehoods and pub lishing the lies of others is their main stock and capital. Any editor who had a particle of manhood about him would never publish a letter from a lying cur like the one published two weeks ago in the Advocate, from that lying sneak at Tonic. Cole made an affidavit to the effect that he never told Frank Phillips that he would get more out of the tax list not to bid than he would to bid. The fol lowing affidavit from Mr. Phillips will probably be interesting reading for our friend Cole and his backers. Who is the liar now, Darwin? D. G. Roll. State of Nebraska, 1 County of Holt, f F. W. Phillips, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that in a conversation with D. A. Cole, of Ewing, Neb., said Cole told him that he was running a paper at Ewing called the People’s Ad vocate. And on his asking said Cole why he did not put in a bid on the delin quent tax list Cole answered that be was to have part of it anyway. In answer to a question said that he did not have to do any of the work but was to have Dart of it anyway. About two days later in another conversation with said Cole he repeated the above statements, and further stated that this was the agreement with east part of the county. That he was not to bid and that the printing of said tax list was to be let to the Independent and that the profits of the said printing were to be divided with him; that it was a good job ana that there ought to be somewhere from $1,200 to $1,500 clear profit in it. And said Cole further in answer to the query, “you will probably make more out of it this wav than if you bid on it yourself," replied, “yes." Affiant further states that until the time of first conversation with said Cole that he did not know his name or that be was in any manner connected with a newspaper. Had met him first at an assessors’ meeting in O'Neill inn the spring of 1802 but tlid not get acquainted with him, simply saw him there and understood that he was the assessor from Ewing township. . Both of the conversations referred to were had at the New Ogden hotel at O’Neill. That the tax list referred to is the delinquent tax list of Holt county, Nebraska, which was let to the Inde pendent, published at O’Neill. F. W. Phillips.
