Yes, Indeed, things are getting cheap

dress goods 5 per cent, cheaper and you
can buy labor 25 per cent, cheaper than
you could two years ago.
In selecting John P. O'Donnell, of
this city, tor representative, the dem
ocratic county convention chose a good,
clean man and one that cannot fail to
command the hearty support of his

The secretary of the democratic con
gressional campaign committee says he
regards the Maine election ns a fore
runner of democratic victory. Now he’s
what might be regarded as a man who
’opes under difficulties.
The democrats are wasting time in
preaching cheap prices to the people.
The people know that prices are a little
cheaper upon a few articles of general
consumption, and that the cheapest
commodity of all is human labor, and it
is Just that knowledge that makes the
downfall of democracy certain.
Fob chairman of the county eentral
committee, that old line democrat, Sam
HJTagers; for secretary of the county
central committee, that old line demo
crat, Mike Long; for chairman of the
state delegation, that old line democrat,
Gua Doyle. What a nice large bunch
of sour grapes for Charlie McHugh!
--MH-.- yj
Since Mike Long has been made secre
tary of the county democratic central
committee, we presume the editors of
The Frontier and Sun may meet on a
common level and speak as they pass.
One wears no blacker eye than the other.
. Not but what Mike is a gentleman and a
scholar, we are speaking of the relative
position that he and Harrison bear to
their respective party papers.

S. C. Samfle, the republican nominee
tor senator of Boyd county, is in every
respect qualified for the honorable posi
tion to which he aspires. We have
known Mr. Sample for a number of
years and can recommend him to the
electors of this district as a man whose
every act will be governed by a strict
Observance of the principles of justice
and honor. His record is unblemished.

Speaking of farmer candidates for
public office, what’s the matter with our
Joe? The other day in looking through
the 1883 flies of The Frontier we ran
across the following ad, which but
emphasizes the fact that the test men of
our country have sprung from the rural
districts. The ad explains itself:
J. S. Bartley, Saratoga. Neb., will re
ceive orders for all kinds of fruits, and
ornamental trees, small fruits, etc., at
lowest rate*. Our trees are grown in
Illinois and'iare tried and hardy varieties.
Also full stock of groceries, nails, etc.

toga, Neb.
Tom Doolittle, the republican nom
inee tor representative, was indorsed by
the democrats in their convention Tues
day. And they also nominated O’Don
nell, of O’Neill, as their capper to try
and draw votes from the pops.—Ewing
Advocate.
The Advocate has lost its bearings.
Doolittle is not the republican nominee.
He is supposed to be a democrat and
was the nominee of the non-partisan
convention held at Atkinson some time
last summer. Can it be possible that
the Advocate is not in on that deal to
make the “issue of repeal paramount to
all other issues?’’ We have been led to
believe that the people of Ewing and
Atkinson would vote as a unit upon this
. question.
*i- >
Tub prediction of tills paper waa fully
verified last Wednesday in the demo
cratic convention by the nomination of
Thoa. Doolittle,,of Atkinson, for repre
sentative. Thus, line by line, the in
tention of the repealers ia brought to the
surface. Mr. Doolittle did not deserve
th}) nomination at the hands of the
democrats. He stands in the same
relation to tho democratic party that
Trommersliausscr does to the republican
party. They were both nominated by a
non-partisan convention und pledged
themselves to "make the issue of repeal
paramount to all other issues,” and
therefore should have no heart burnings
if the voters in other districts should
resist tho repeal of that law and make
that issue "paramount to all other
issues.”
A report, whlcli has the color of
authenticity, Is afloat to the effect that a
move Is on foot among curtain republi
cans to pull Jake ltoll out of the race
for county attornoy and substitute R. J.
Hayes. We confess that we cannot see
the advisability of this move, or where
anything is to lie gained. Mr. Roil was
the unnnimous choice of the convention,
inado up of republicans representing
every township in the county, and not
withstanding he was not a candidate, it
seems to us lobe tho beighth of imperti
nence for anybody to request him to
pull out. Rut in case he should decide
to withdrew, which we trust he will not,
it is quite probable that the county
central committee will have something
to say about who is put up to fill the
vacancy. This thing of a few men
manipulating the machinery to suit their
own sweet will is about played out.
At different times the Sun's legal
editor has attempted to interpret the
law, upon some question before the
people, for its limited number of readers,
but never to our recollection has the
interpretation been the letter or the
spirit of the law. In an open letter to
Hnrrett Scott last week the Sun makes
the astounding statement that he will
have to serve out his line in the peniten
tiary. Where McHugh, or the man
who wrote the article, got his legal
learning ;s a mystery to us. The statute
under which he was prosecuted reads
something like this:
And a person so convicted shall be
imprisoned in the penitentiary not less
than oue year nor more than twenty
one years, according to the magnitude
of the embezzlement; and also pay a
line equal to double the amount of
money or other property so embezzled,
as aforesaid, which fine shall operate as
a judgment at law on all of the estate of
the party so convicted and sentenced,
nod shall be enforced to collection by
execution or other process, for the use
only of the party or parties whose
money or other funds, property, bonds
or securities, assets or effects of any
kind as aforesaid, tins been so embezzled.
And in all cases such fine so operating
as a judgment, shall only be relensed or
cnteied ns satisfied by the party in in
terest as aforesaid.

Perhaps but few of the voters of the
county are aware that there will be a
proposition submitted at the November
election to pay a bounty as provided by
statute for the destruction of wild an
imals. The bounties are as follows:
Wolf or mountain lion, $3; coyote or
wildcat. $1. While of course the desire
to rid the county of these undesirable
inhabitants is commendable, the voter
must not lose sight of the expense that
will surely follow the endorsement of
this proposition. Our prairies are alive
with coyotes and wolves, while along
the streams are numerous wildcats.
Whei| this bounty is offered it will be an
inducement for men to make a business
of hunting the varments. Of course
this Would naturally have a tendency to
exterminate them, especially if surround
ing counties would adopt the same
measures, but if the surrounding
counties do not pay a premium for
scalps the result would be that Holt
would pay for the destruction of wild
animals in five counties and the grand
total would be enormous. There is a
state bounty for these same animals and
the better way would be to urge the next
legislature to make appropriation to pay
the same. We are afraid that a county
bounty would prove an expensive
luxury.
After Treasurer Mullen made liis
first settlement with the county board
the Beacon Light, with much gust,
heralded to its readers the startling in
telligence that he produced the rhino
for the settlement committee to count,
aud at the same time attempted to con
trast the settlement to the one made by
Scott. Tub Frontier at the time
hinted that the money was not counted
according to law; that the total amount
shown by his books to be on hand was
not produced in one lump and counted
bv the committee; that it was counted
by piece-meal and immediately carried
from the court-house to the banks, al
lowing the treasurer an opportunity to
produce the same money to be counted
two or three times. A member of the
board, seeing these statements in this
paper, offered a resolution setting forth
the facts and asking that the committee
be called upon for a statement either
proving or disproving the rumor. The
resolution was adopted and the com
mittee made the statement. It follows:
Mr. Chairman—In compliance with
the order of the board, we, your settle
ment committee, hereby make the fol
lowing detailed report as to the manner
in which the county funds were counkjd
on February 6, 1894. On the evetfiii
previous Mr. Jillson notified Mr. Mu lei
that we were ready to count the money
and on the morning of February 0 Mr.
Mullen eent the committee word to
come to the vault. On proceeding to
make the count Mr. Mullen produced
$12,000 in gold coin, which the com
mittee counted. Mr. Mullen then in
formed the committee that this came
from the First National bank and that
he would return the Bamc to that hank
and bring to the vault the county
money in the Glkhorn Valley bank anil
the state bank, and would notify the
committee when to return to the vault
to count the same, which in a short
time he did and the comuiitte counted
us follows: From the Ulkhorn Valley
bunk, in gold coin, $3,500, in silver $1.
in paper $5,071, a total of $8,572; and
from the State bank $3,380, all in paper
money, and in the afternoon the com
mittee again counted in the vault, in
paper, $123, in silver 75 cents and in
pennies 1, making a grand total of
moneys counted in the three counts,
$24,081.76.
All of the above moneys were care
fully counted by the committee and no
statement or label was taken as indicat
ing the amount of money in any pack
age
The gold coin from the First National
bank was in denominations as follows:
$9,800 in $20 pieces, $1,200 in $10 pieces.
$1,000 in $5 pieces. From the Elkhorn
Vullev bank, $2,300 in $20 pieces, $1,200
in $10 pieces. $1 in silver, in paper $5,
071. From the State bank, $3,380. all
in paper, nnd $123 in paper and 70 cents
in silver nnd pennies.
