O’Neill seems to be doing a thriving
business in spite of the hard times. The
leading merchants say there is but little
falling oil in the trade thus far and are
expecting a good holiday trade.
P. J. Biglin will furnish you all kinds
of coal, in carload lots or in small
quantities. He can also furnish you
with coal oil and gasoline by the gallon
or barrel. Get his prices before buying
whereelse. _ 15tf
We have the largest, best and greatest
variety of candies and nuts ever brought
to O'Neill for the holiday trade. Sun
day schools will do well to look over
our stock and prices. Respectfully,

While contagious diseases hold the
right of way in the city it would be wise
for the officers to strictly enforce the
uuarrantine laws. One little ounce of
preventive is said by big men to be
worth tons of cure.
Does the Smudge not know that as a
newspaper Tub Frontier claims the
right to criticise any man that appears
in public print? If a man is thin
skinned and his cause uniust he should
not intrude upon the people.
Ed Whiting, Henry Storm and John
Kloke. the Spencer election board who
were arrested for stuffing the ballot box

A letter from Doc Mathews to TnE
Frontier states that he has taken
charge of his new paper, is now settled
in the harness, will make “valuable
changes” right along and hopes that by
January 1 he will have as clean and
good a paper as TnE Front. Doc evi
dently thinks that owing to the ex
tremely long range he can afford to be
venturesomely flattering.
John Weekes this week presented the
editor with a “Just for Fun” lead pencil.
It weighs six ounces, is twelve inches
long and loaded. In his presentation
speech Jack didn’t say that he wished
we would write more and clip less, but
he did say that the gift would be found
useful in writing heavy editorials—this
was based upon the theory no doubt
that like begets like—and he added
further, that if we could not vanquish
our enemies by using the legitimate end
of the pencil in a legitimate way to use
it as a billy and beat their bloody brains
out. It does net necessarily follow that
we will proceed upon this advice, so
keep your seat, Jew.

Valentine Republican; District court
adfourned Wednesday. It was a busy
session aud ably and impartially pre
sided over by Judge M. P. Kinkaid.
Roscoe Coughlin started Tuesday
morning for Washington, D. C.. where
he will remain until spring, when he will
return to O’Neill and spend the summer.
It is said that the Baltimore Society
ladies are appearing in "living pictures”
for “charity’s sake.” A little charity in
this hollow of the ram's horn would not
fail of appreciation, would it Billie?
The Thanksgiving ball given in this
city Thursday night by the Spencei
Orchestra was a very pleasant affair both
socially and financially. The music was
of a high grade and gave universal satis
faction.
Little Bessie Perry bas been quite ill
from an attack of scarlet fever, but is
now improving slowly. It was reported
upon the streets Monday night that she
had died, but upon investigation the
rumor was found to be untrue.
World-Herald: The Chicago Times
refers to Judge Holcomb as being “the
youngest governor Nebraska ever elected
being only 28 years old.” This is an
error. When Governor Dawes was first
elected it was a serious question if he
had reached the age of 21 years.
Dan Davis and Mr. Bitters each lost a
valuable horse last Friday night. We
understand that Mr. Bitters found his
animal the next day about six miles out
in the country, where it had been ridden
and then turned adrift. Mr. Davis has
not found any trace of his yet and
believes that some one has unlawfully
converted it to his own use.
You will buy something for your
mother for Xmas, and why not buy
something useful. Everything in our
line is always useful about the house.
No present you can make will be ap
preciated as well as an easy chair or
couch. The O’Neill Furniture Company
will make special efforts for you at prices
to suit. 22-3
Dennie Lyons went up to the Hot
Springs Wednesday night, at which
place he hopes to gain relief from an
acute attack of rheumatism by frequent
plunges in the mineral waters of the
celebrated springs. The Frontier
sincerely hopes that the treatment may
limber up Dennie’s joints to a degree
exceeding his most sanguine hopes and
return him to us as spry as a colt.
Populist Representative-elect John
Robertson called at these headquarters
Tuesday and inquired if it were a fact
that Trom. would contest his election.
We asked him if any notice had been
served upon him, to which he replied in
the negative. Bright specimen, this
Robertson! Any man who reads a
paper, even the Beacon Smudge, ought
to know that the time for filing contests
expired a fortnight ago, and further,
that the man who is contesting must
notify the party contested before the
expiration of that time. When John
gets to Lincoln he will need instruction
in everything but filing bills.
The members of the city council went
down to Sioux City last Friday to make
negotiations regarding the refunding of
the water bonds at a lower rate of in
terest. Nothing was done on that day
however, the company holding the
bonds requested further time in which to
investigate the matter. Those going to
the city were: Mayor Dickson; Clerk
Martin; Attorney Benedict; Counciimen
Merriman, Qatz and DeYarman. The
party reports a very pleasant visit and
has stroqg hopes of an outcome that
will be advantageous to the city. The
thanks of the party are due Mr. Mill
christ, one of the interested parties, for
a supper at Hotel Garretson. The cost
of the trip to the city is nothing.

A Reverie.
The following came to us yesterday
through the mail, and, while we do not
make a practice of publishing anony
mous contributions, there is a something
or other in the sentiment of this reverie
that appeals to our sympathy and we
give it space. We take it from the
tone of the reflection that some young
bachelor lately touched the twenty-fifth
mile stone, and as he dreamed alone in
his quarters over an evening glass, he
saw strange things ascending in the
smoke of his cigar, took up a pen and
nailed to the cross a few of his fleeting,
philosophic fancies:
• “Twenty-five to-night; a quarter of
a century. Roll, ye tidal wave of time,
nor pause as ye roll. If man’s destiny
is preordained, why should he wish the
coming of its history to move with snail
like feet? If the hand that shapes his
destiny is smooth, soft and soothing as
that of a woman’s why should he wish
to postpone the moment that be might
enjoy its pleasures and solacing com
forts? If the hand that holds his bodily
craft upon its course is calloused, crack
ed and bleeding and blunders his bark of
life into maelstroms and against moun
tains of ice, why should he pray for de
lay and torture himself with the fear of
encountering the inevitable? The
dread in anticipating a calamity is more
enervating, more torturous to body and
mind than the realization of one’s worst
fear, so I say to time, rush on with
fleetest feet. If you hold pleasure in
store for me. let me enjoy it. If you
are burdened with sorrow and sighs, let
me know it.
“Oil, time, turn not backward this eve In
your flight!
I would not be a child again Just for this
night.
The past Is gone, I would not recall it again.
But rather wigh the present more slack to Its
rein.
Why sigh for my youth, which lias passed In
to ttie night''
Better await the future and trust that Its
darkness lie bright.
'Tis useless to look backward with oyes full
of tears,
Far bettor to gaze forward to a fulness of
years.
When the world may be kinder and present
a roseate hue.
When merit receives Its reward and the devil
his due.
Fill up a decanter, a nectar of wine, a spark
ling howl.
And I’ll sip Its kind Juice while a quarterof a
century gets into Its hole;
And when its long, wriggling tall Is lost to
my view
I’ll turn to the future and await the yenrs,
many or few.
Be they many or few, let them come on a
i run,
I All that I ask is, that their sorrows be sand
I witched with fun.”
