The Frontier. runUSIlKD I VERT THURSDAY BT THB FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY KINO A CRONIN. Editor*. Thia stalely bird of ours, that has done valuable service in many former f,-, campaigns, bobs up again and crows lustily for republicanism from New ' York to Colorado, but he crows in a whisper as yet when Nebraska’s name is mentioned. He la Informed that the situation Is doubtful on governor, and that in all probability it will take an offlolal eount to settle the question. World-Herald bulletins are conced ing the election of Majors and a major ity of the legislature on joint ballot, while the Bee claims the election of Holcomb. While Holt Is still populist, It is by greatly reduced majorities, and the pops ean get no glory out of the result. Crawford only carried the county by 188 as against 800 of two years ago, which is certainly a repudiation of old Honest John. Returns are not in yet from Boyd, Garfield and Wheeler, and Sample has a show of being elected state senator. . Trommerahausser is defeated by about 40, while Griffith is defeated by about if'/- 100. Atklneon, as predicted by us some time ago, cut Griffith. They only gave him 86 votes as against 187 for Trommerahausser. Thii is Blsworth Hack’s cock, proud thing, and he crows because he has a right to. Blsworth is the first republi can supervisor elected from O'Neill (cr years, and he is entitled to a rooster. * Nit York gives Morton about 185, 000 majority. .It was a very chilly day for the democrats in the Empire state. f. Tan burning of his residence has re called the fact of the existence of one J. f‘-, 8. Coxy, at one time a widely advertised '}" ’ man. Sown of the men who have been in the habit of blackguarding the U. 8. senate, do not seem free from the am bition of becoming senators. Ellsworth Hack will look after the Interests of the citizens of O'Neill as supervisor from this city during the next year, and he will make a good and efflci £k, ent officer. - -- The city of O'Neill gave S. C. Sample •>, a majority of seventy. This was forty ^ votes ahead of his ticket, and was a •plendid endorsement from the citizens * of his former home. J. W. Wkrtz, the talented editor of the Btnart Ledger, was elected super visor in Stuart township by a majority of seventy-four, defeating Jillson, the ^ present member, nearly two to one. It came nearly being unanimous. Brother Wertz, it is not often that a member of the profession secures an office, so allow us to congratulate you upon the vote received._ _ Perry Bklhokt, who, when a mem ber of the house, made the serious mis takrof attempting to monkey with the j??-: Blaine buzz saw, is ambitious of wear ing a Senatorial toga, believing that the wealth of himself and family gives him special qualifications therefor. It is not to be denied that Perry would be a de cided improvement upon at least one of the senators from New Nork>-but he has little show of succeeding him. His' suo >cessor will be a republican. I * ' T" Tt LIGHTHOUSES. tfarTlli ot Contrivance and Science— The Song of the Siren. Did yon over see a lighthouse of the modern kind? Here In Its narrow tower Is a strong electric light; round the light all night long, revolves the cylinder of prisms artfully arranged. Flash of ten seconds; rest of ten sec onds; flash again; rest of live seconds; third flash; darkness for the rest of the minute. And so on all night long. Out at sea the offleor on watch counts tho flashes and knows the lighthouse <tnd where he is. Or there is a fog horn; in a chamber beside the light house are the tanks or cisterns filled with compressed air; nothing short of compressed air will sound this terri ble alarm; compressed air worked with a steam engine. Then there is the voice of the siren. You have heard the modern form of the once enchanting and alluring voice of the siren; it is now the voice it torture and agony; the maiden. Hie water rymph, the ear piercer, is now provided with a throat which contains one oylinder within another. Both cylinders are provided with long, narrow apertures; the inner one Is set to revolve at a thousand turns a minute. Then the oompressed air is turned on; and the song of the siren begins It is the shriek of the im prisoned air forcing its way oat through these apertures; it passes at the velocity of 3,000 feet a minute. “Bewarel" cries the modern siren. “Come not nearer; give me a wider berth) Stand offt Here is danger; here are rocks; here larks death upon sharp and relentless rocks, hungering for sailors!” Safety before poetry. Let us not regret that we no longer wreck the ship and drown the crew for the sake of a sweet false face and v sweet false song. AVAUNT FOUL BUTTER. * W»B to Hollo tho Bonkoot SmoU Like • rninot Plow#*.. Boarding houae inmates, whoae nostrils ara offended by the eeent oI rancid butter, can thank their stars that they will not have to suffer nuoh longer. One of themselves—J. V. Bannister, of New York, whose tense of smell was long slnoe blunted by boarding house butter, has disoov ered a cheap way to give foul smell ing butter, butterlne or oleomar garine the seent of the most fragrant Sower. This discovery will at the tame time be a priceless boon to boarding house keepers, who are pes tered half to death by the plaints of their prisoners So, if Mr. Bannister euoeeeds in bringing his discovery into general [ use in boarding houses the inmates thereof are likely to hall him as a Newton, a Davy and a Franklin rolled into one. His plan is to treat rancid butter with essential oils By this j means, he says, he can give the most offensive butter any scent that may be desired. Violet, lily of the valley, rose, verbena, heliotrope, magnolia and jessamine are among the sweet per fumes butter buyers may chose from. Still, he confesses that experience has taught him that there is a brand af so-called oreamery butter used in theatrloal boarding houses in summer time the rankaets of which musk slone can ovurootae. KSBPINQ THB DBVIk AT BAY. -*■ Sow tha Oklint Olroanvant tkt lunj at Mankind at a FonanL A Chlntit funeral it a constant suc cession of efforts to cheat the devil, who is supposed to be lying in wait to capture the soul of the departed. So long as the body remains in the house the soul is safe, for the devil cannot come in; the risk begins when the funeral procession starts. When ready to march great quantities of dreoraokers and pyroteohnics that tmit much smoke are set off in front it the door, and under cover of the imoke the pallbearers start at * lively trot, run to the nearest corner, turn it as quickly as they can and stop short This is done for the purpose of throwing the devil off the tack, since it is well known that he cannot easily turn a corner, and, to aid in the deception, whenever a corner is turned more fireworks are burned. By dint of turning quickly ind trotting as fast as they can the bearers finally arrive at the cemetery, but do hot enter the gates, but go through a hole in the surrounding in closure, for they know that the baffled devil will be waiting fqr them st the entranoe. In the cemetery the iouI is comparatively safe, though'to make the matter perfectly secure the discharge of firecrackers is kept up intll all the rites are ended. let! Oanteduu. A French physician mentions a curious case of left-handedness. One child in a certain family was left handed, and a second appeared at the age of one year also to be left handed. It was then learned that the mother always carried her child on her left arm. She was advised to carry her child on her right. The ita tant, having its right arm free, began to grasp objects with it, and soon be mme right-handed. Charon's Error. Satan ordered the windows op ened st once. "Christopher," he exclaimed, “what an awful odor!" Lucifer nod ded. "Your majesty," he explained, “Charon must have got mixed with his passenger list and sent that india rubber man up here by mistake.” It leemed a very plausible theory. Tha Scapegoat. "Everything that is done in this louse is always blamed onto me,” sniffled the small boy, "an* I'm jist gittin' tired of it. I'll run away, that's, what I’ll da Doggone H I mean to be the Li Bung Chang of this' family any longer." “One of the greatest amusements for the children of Japan Is catching the ‘dragon fly,” said Dr. W. F. Taylor of lioston who has spent several years in Japan. "Japan is a land of chil dren, and thousands of them literally put in several weeks every autumn in capturing dragon flies, and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. boon after the turn of the sun in the afternoon hundreds and thou sands of huge dragon flies busy them selves flying here and there over the rice fields and gardens, catching in sects and gnata "The Japanese boys carefnlly sat urate the end of a bamboo with tar, and start out for the fun. They first hold the bamboo up to attract the un suspecting dragons to take a rest. In a moment the boy gives the bamboo a twist and puts the tar end into so many motions that it is al most impossible for the creature to avoid it. The boys are so expert at the business that I have seen them ohase a fly that had got much ahead of them and succeed in stieking the dragon fly to the reed. When once on the tar end of the pole there is a miserable future for the captive. They are tied together and carried around in the chase. Then a string is tied to each one, and a small place of paper serving as a kite, which the poor flies are required to sail. They i fly away, but, of course, soon get Into a tree or bush, and die of starvation.’' King Humbert of Italy was walk ing in one of the back streets of Rome recently. It was Sunday, and his majesty wished to see for himself how his subjects in the poor quarters of the Eternal City kept the Lord's day. | As he neared a corner a drunken fel low came rolling along up street, de scribing all kinds of geometrical fig ures in his progress. On one of his tangents he almost struck the king. Turning around to see who was in his way the workman recognized his majesty. He fell upon his knees be fore him, trembling with fear, but so intoxicated that he could hardly speak straight. King Humbert tried to quiet him, but the man murmured prayer after prayer for forgiveness. Humbert, who himself never touches intoxicat ing drinks exoept when necessary at public dinners, thinking he had a chance to make a convert to temper ance, upbraided the man severely. As the poor fellow seemed penitent, the king asked him what he could do for him. At first no reply eame, but the king | insisted upon on answer. Thus en couraged the fellow blubbered out: “Will your majesty then accord to me the permission to—drink gratis pro Deo in all the liquor shops of Rome?” The king of course declined to grant the sincere request, and left the man on his knees in the street. “Everything else,” cried the drunk ard, as the king started away, “is Immaterial to me.” O’NEILL BUSINESS DIRECTORY ATTORNEY AT LAW , Reference First National Bank O'NEILL, NEB.
