Hodgkin, at Leonie. More extended

Our sister city of Ewing, not to be

in the neighborhood of ten miles long

Although Mr. Doran is a stranger to us

young man and very popular where he
is known. Miss Boyd, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Boyd, has resided in this
city since childhood and has many
admirers among her acquaintances. Mr.
and Mrs. Doran in a short time will settle
down to housekeeping in South Omaha.
The Fhontier extends congratulations.
Doc Mathews has started a newspaper
in Stuttgart, and calls it the Free Press.
The junior member of this firm has been
more or less connected with Doc in the
newspaper business since ’87, or since he
started the Free Press in O'Neill, about
that time, which paper enjoyed a pros
perous and spirited career for over a
year and then died because it wanted to
and not of necessity, and it seems a little
strange that we are not now interested
with him in the publication of his new
venture. However, our absence in the
flesh will in no wise interfere with Doc
getting out the best country weekly in
Arkansas, which he will no doubt do.
As a newspaper man Doc doesn’t ash
odds of anybody and wouldn't take them
if offered. His will be the only repub
lican paper in that congressional district,
which, Mr. Mathews says, is not hope
lessly democratic.

Miss Julia Howard died last Friday ai
the borne of her mother in this city, ol
consumption. The remains were taker
to Fremont Sunday and interred^beside

a long, though patient sufferer. Aftei
the real nature of her malady became
known she spent some months in Denvei
hoping to gain relief from the moun
tain air, but growing gradually worst
she returned last spring to spend bei
remaining days among those near and
dear to her,'and when the end came ii
came gently, as those who watched be
side her say that the passing was like
one who draws the drapery of bis couch
about him and lies ddwn to pleasanl
dreams. Thk Frontier extends iti
sympathy to the bereaved family.

and conducted by ditch
some forty milet to Bnake

it estimated that this
reservoir will contain in
the neighborhood of 18
000 acres of water thirty
feet deep, a supply suffi
cient to easily irrigate
600,000 acies. From the
reservoir it escapes via
the bed of another small
stream which it follows
for a few miles and ii
then carried by the reg
ular canal some 160 miles,
or to a point north and
east of O'Neill about
four miles, where the al

1600 feet, making a wa
