Mrs. Dennis Carlon and Miss Nina
Ryan started Monday morning for
Galesburg, 111., where they will visit
relatives during the summer.
The etherial mildness which obtains
and continues to prevail since the recent
storms is a wonderful factor in trending
earth’s adornings, fresh and beautiful,
joyously heavenward.
Ellsworth Mack and Jake Hershiser,

O. F. Blglin and O. O. Snyder have
beautified their residence properties by
sodding their yards with blue grass sod

Another rain last night. They are
coming so frequently now that it’s out
of the question to keep track of them.
There will be hay in the south country
if it doesn’t rain again this summer.
It is reported on the authority of the
“devil” that last night’s bus passengers,
to avoid getting their feet wet, in transit
from the depot to the hotel, were com
pelled to hang them on the bell rope.
• Mr. H. C. Uhler, of Emmet, called at
this office Tuesday for a few moments to
pay his subscription and talk about the
fine rain and crop prospects. He re
ported everything in good condition in
his neighborhood.
Judge Kinkaid returned from Chad
ron yesterday morning. The Judge re
ports heavy storms in that section and
says that he saw hail stones piled from
one to four feet thick and covering con

Butte Gazette: The glittering offer of
300 unscraped pops for a calamity bar

Graphic: George Bowering, late cash
ier of the Stuart State bank, passed
through here last Tuesday on his way
to Los Angeles, Cal., where he expects
to make his future home. George leaves
a host of friends who dislike to see him
go, but wish him success in his new
home. __
Pete Saunders did not make his usual
run as news agent on the Short Line
Tuesday. Jt was his understanding that
the train had changed time and would
not go out until 10 o’clock, but he had
been misinformed, as the train pulled
out on its old schedule. Time and
trains wait for no man.
Butte Gazette: We hate to say any
thing about it but the way Sanford Par •
ker “done up” Harry Mathews at “coon
billiards,’’Saturday last, was enough to
draw briny tears from a wooden image.
Mr. Parker is an expert with the cue,
and in the three games played Mr.
Mathews made an excellent cue tack.
Graphic: Mrs. Milton •Doolittle and
children departed for North Platte last
Saturday morning where they will join
Milton and make their home for the
present, at least. The throng that bid
them farewell at the depot certainly at
tested the high esteem in which the peo
ple of Atkinson held this estimable fam
ily. _
Dr. Gilligan left Tuesday morning for
Chicago, at which place he will attend a
meeting of railway surgeons. After a
few days in Chicago he will return to
his old home in New York, where he
will visit relatives for a couple of
months and then return to O’Neill and
resume bis practice. Many patrons here
dislike to see him leave even for a limi
ted visit.
Stuart Ledger: Rev. C. H. Churchill
shipped hia goods ou Tuesday to Oco
nee, this state, where he has been sent
to take charge of a pastorate. Mr. C.
is an able minister—a conscientious and
earnest Christian, and he has done a
good work at this place. He leaves the
Presbyterian church here iu a flourish
ing condition and much stronger than
he found it. Thb Lbdqbb takes pleas
ure in commending him to his new
charge as a man worthy and deserving
in all respects and a man whom they
will esteem more the longer they know
him. He left pleasant surroundings
here and we hope his new home will be
none the less so.

The Presbyterian birthday party which
was to have taken place at the Hotel

to-night on account of the storm.
Mrs. Alexander Marlng is in receipt of
a letter from Denver, which conveys
the sad intelligence that on the 16th of
April Harry Howe fell from a building
in that city and on the following day
died from the effects of the fall. Mr.
Howe at one time resided in Holt
county, south of O'Neill, and had
many friends here.
it mere is a man—poor or otherwise—
in this county, or any other county,
who is in possession of a so-called "poor
man’s dollar” that contains 4131 grains
of silver, and the aforesaid man enter
tains any misgivings in regard to its
value or purchasing power, we will take
it in on subscription and run our chances
on passing it ofit on Dave Htannard or
some other sport, who knows why forty
cents worth of coined silver is worth 100
cents in gold.
Dr. Edward L. Furay, of Omaha, ar
rived in the city Monday night. He
has rented the office formerly occupied
by Dr. Gilligan, and expects to remain
here permanently and practice bis pro
fession. The doctor comes highly
recommended as a young man of in
tegrity and ability and will no doubt
make a success here. It was through
the solicitation of Patrick Hagerty, an
old friend of the family, that he was
induced to locate in O’Nelil.
We would inform Whiskers, and oth
ers interested,that Thb Frontier is un
der no more obligations to the business
men of O’Neill than the business men of
O’Neill are to Thb Frontier. This pa
per has had more to do with the settling
up of this county than any other one
agency, and while so doing incidentally
built up a subscription list and general
business of its own. As a general thing
we are not patronized for sweet chari
ty’s sake. When a business man places
an ad. with us he doeB so because he
knows we have a laige circulation and
among a class who do not spend their
money with Montgomery Ward and
"stand oft” the home business man.
When an order for job work is given us
it is generally with the idea—which is
correct—that we do a little the best work
in this part of the state. We are patron
ized because we give value received,
Monday’s market reports from Chi
cago show that July wheat advanced 2}
cents from the closing price Friday on
the board of. trade Saturday. The mar
ket opened at 62( cents, an advance of
three-eighths of a cent, and by a quick
step rose to 641 cents, which was the top
figure of the session. The market hung
close to 64 cents all the forenoon and
closed at noon at 64| cents. The big
advance came on rumors of a corner and
exhausted supplies at interior points in
Europe and America, higher prices
abroad and possible complications in
the settlement of the China-Japan treaty
of peace; liberal purchases of wheat for
export and the anxiety of the shorts to
cover Utheir sales for June delivery.
Mauy of the best informed speculators
on change say that the upward tendency
of prices has only begun, and that July
wheat will sell for SI a bushel July 1.
We cannot help thinking where the free
and unlimited silver man will be with
40 cent silver and one dollar wheat.
It’s bad enough now with 66 cent wheat
and 40 cent silver.
State Journal: Evidence showing that
a great many farmers and manufacturers
expect to derive benefit from a bounty
on chicory has reached the stato house
in the form of a complaint concerning
freight rates on chicory roots. Com
plaint has been made to the secretaries
of the board of transportation that the
Pacific Short Line railroad will not carry
chicory for less than $1.60 a ton. Per
sons at Dixon have planted chicory and
desire to ship to O’Neill, where the Ger
man Chicory company is located and
ready to receive and manufacture all
chicory raised in that part of the state.
The secretaries have been corresponding
with the Pacific Short Line road and ex
pect to secure a very low rate. The rate
on sugar beets given by the Nebraska
roads is about 80 cents a ton, and it is
the general belief that the same rate
ought to apply to chicory roots. Farm
ers declare that they cannot profitably
raise chicory if the freight is to be $1.50
a ton. About 40 carloads, or 600 tons
will be shipped along the Pacific Short
Line road under the piesent, but if abet
ter rate is secured perhaps three times
that amount will be shipped this year
The 80 cent rate is confidently expected.
This question may arise on other roads
in the state, hut at present there is no
information before the board of trrans
portation showing what other roads are
charging. _

State Seoretary Markel, of the Fre
mont branch of the atate Y. M. C. A.,
arrived in O’Neill Saturday evening for
the purpose of establishing a branch of
the association in thia city. A meeting
of those directly interested was held at
the M. E. church, Sunday afternoon.
After an intereating talk by Mr. Markel
on the motive of the organization and
the benefit to be derived, by young men
especially, from an association therewith,
the meeting was called to order, J. C.
Harniah presiding and H. H. Bentley
acting as secretary. W. R. Jackson, O.
O. Snyder, E. S. Kinch, Will Lowrie
and H. H. Bentley were appointed an
executive committee with power to form
a permanent organization and elect offi
cers. A meeting will be held at the
church Sunday afternoon. May 5, with
that purpose in view. The association
will start out with an enrollment of at
lean thirty members. We are pleased
to note this movement on the part of the
young men of O’Neill, and the organiza
tion will undoubtedly meet with the ap
probation of our citizens of all classes,
os the good to be accomplished by an
association of this kind is only encom
passed to the extent of the efforts put
forth in that direction.
Mr. William Merritt Chase, President
of the society of American Artists, will
make an extensive exhibit of paintings
in oil and pastel, at the Cotton States
and International Exposition. Mr. Chase
is one of our most accomplished artists;
in fact, there is no medium in which he
cannot work with success. Recently,
he has been devoting his attention to
Amorlcan landscape, and the bright mid
summer effects, which he painted on
Long Island, last season, baye been an
attractive feature of the New York ex
hibitions, this winter. He has not aban
doned those delightful interior views,
upon which he first made his reputation,
for in the spring exhibition of the Soci
ety of American Artists, there is an im
portant large canvas by him, purchased
by the Shaw fund, which shows a beau
tiful modern interior, with the lady of
the house enteetainlng a guest. Its title
is "The Morning Call.” One of Mr.
Chase’s portraits was awarded the Tem
ple prize in Philadelphia, last fall, and
early this year he was awarded another
prize by the Cleveland Art Association.
The people of Atlanta and of the south
have a great treat in store in seeing Mr.
Chase’s work. He is justly celebrated
for his great technical ability, and is do
ing more, possibly, than any other na
tive artist to advance and benefit Ameri
can art.

Below will be found Dr. Harter’s
prognostications for this month:
Warm and pleasant, first days of the
month, will end in the development of a
storm in the far west, on the second it
will travel across the continent and
reach the Atlantic about the sixth.
Bear in mind that storms will reach the
locality in which you live in due course,
but may not remain with you more than
a few hours. Minor storms with heavy
local showers on the 8th and 9th. The
second regular storm period commences
in the west on the thirteenth and travels
to the east by the sixteenth. Expeet
many pleasant days in May, but be cau
tious at the approach of and during
storm periods. Next month occurs the
equinox of the great planet Jupiter,
whose disturbing influence has been felt
during all storm periods for many
months past, and will continue to be felt
for many months to come. Local show
ers and minor storms on the twentieth
and twenty-first. New moon on the
twenty-fourth will excite the third reg
ular storm period, which will be brew
ing and moving in the west on the
twenty-fifth, and run its course to the
east by the twenty-eighth. Pleasant
weather, increasing to warmer ’til the
last of the month. The earth and
atmosphere at the equinoxes always un
dergo intense electric disturbance.
Since the action of the earth is so evi
dent, we must expect that Jupiter with
a volume 1491 times greater than the
earth, must at its equinox, affect the
whole solar system.
Whooping Cough.
There is no danger trom this disease
when Chamberlain’n Cough Remedy is
freely given. It liquefies the tough
mucus and aids its expectoration. It
also lessens the severity and frequency
bf paroxysms of coughing, and insures
a speedy recovery. There is not the
least danger in giving the remedy to
children or babies, as it contains no in
jurious substance. For sale by P. C.

That is an awful little bit of money
for a twice-a-week paper like the Semi
Weekly Journal, but if you send 60
cents you will receive that paper until
January 1, 1896. You will find it the
farmer’s daily. Markets alone are worth
more money than that. If you take it
the rest of this year far 50 cents you J
will want to keep it always. If you get
up a club of five 50-cent subscribers you
can have a copy free for your trouble.

Anyone who hu eyer had an attack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. 3. A. Stamm, 230 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortu
nate escape from a siege of that dis
couraging ailment. Mr. Stamm is fore
man of Merriman’s confectionery es
tablishment. Some months ago, on
leaving the heated work room to run
across the street on an errand, he. was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to go home that night
he was unable to walk, owing to in
flammatory rheumatism, He was taken
home, and on arrival was placed in
front of a good fire and thoroughly rub
bed with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, v.
During the evening and night he was'
repeatedly bathed with this liniment,
and by morning was relieved of all
rheumatic pains. He now takes espec- ^
