A good many windows about town were broken, eighteen in the school-house alone. Having used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in my family and found it to be a first class article. I take pleasure in recomending it to my friends. J. V. Foster, Westport, Cal. For sale by P. C. Corrigan Druggist. Judge Kiukaid, Reporter King and Attorney Uttley went up to Atkinson Sunday night and from there drove over to Butte Monday morning. Court con vened there Tuesday. It is now thought that the murder case will not be commenced before the middle of the month. _ . These glorious rains cool the ardor of the irrigationists. Interest should not be allowed to lag, however. July and August will no doubt give us their usual amount of heat and drouth. “In times of peace prepare for war;” in times of wet prepare for dry—or words to that effect. _ A subscriber to one of our exchanges wrote to the editor asking what the weather in the next month would be like. The reply wad: “It is likely that the weather of the next month will be very much like your subscription bill." After a little pondering the inquirer recollected that his bill was “unsettled,” aud so he at once sent a postal order. James Dorgan, of Ft. Thomus, Ky., is in the city this week visiting old friends and acquaintances. Mr. Dorgan formerly lived about three miles north east of this city, from which place he moved Bouth about ten years ago. Since leaving this county fortune has smiled upon him and he is now com fortably supplied with this world’s goods, a fact which Thb Frontier is pleased to note. An editor was once confronted with a question which read as follows: “Is it in keeping with good society for a girl to sit on a man’s knee?” The editor read the question and then read it again then answered it in this wise: “If it is our girl and your knee it is not in keep ing with the rules of the best society, but if it is your girl and our knee it is all right." An editor has many bright thoughts and this is one of them. An exchange says: The recent change in the law of our state, which raises the age of consent to eighteen years, is like ly to bring about a condition of affairs which was not thought of when the law was passed. It may, under the new law be unlawful for a girl under that age to marry or for the officiating clergyman or officer to perform the ceremony. If the courts should so hold no doubt the re sult would be beneficial to the commun T. J. Smith, of Ainsworth, advance agent for Diamond Dick’s Wild West show, was a caller Wednesday. Tom is an old newspaper man and published the first paper ever printed in this county, the Holt Record, the first issue of which was printed October 28, 1879, a copy of which, adorned with a gilt frame, now bangs in this office. After leaving here he published a paper at Long Pine and Ainsworth, selling his paper at the latter place about a year ago. Tub Fbontier "Kids,” one of whom was the "devil” for Tom in the Record office, about 14 years ago, wish him success in his new position and hope that he will get many a “phat take.” The general reader has no idea of the cost of advertising. It is a mystery as to how the big dailies and magazines can be sold so cheap. It is the adver tiser who pays the bill. Here are some figures: A single column in a single issue of the Century taken for advertis ing costs 8500; the Harpers 8400 and other magazines at 8100 to 8200. A yearly column advertisement in the Chicago Tribune costs 828,500 for the lowest rates and 856,000 for the highest rates. The New York World charge, $46,200 for the lowest and $58,000 for the highest priced column. Some adver tisers may open their eyes wide at such rates, but the men who pay them are the men who succeed. With these advan tages it is no longer a mystery how the big dailies manage to bring our their Sunday editions and bow the magazines are sold for a few cents Mathewss’Free Pree: Jeise Mellor on Monday sold his interest in the mer cantile firm of Cramer and Mellor to Mr. S. P. Cramer, father of D. L., and ' the firm name hereafter will be Cramer & Co. Mr. Mellor has not fully decided as to his future, but it is hoped he will re main in Stuttgart, where during hla short residence he has made many friends. _ Moses Gaughenbough, and old soldier living south of Emmet, was agreeably surprised Sunday, by a few of his friends who made him a neighborly visit. Re freshments, the best the land afforded, were served for dinner. Mr. Gaughen bougb’s birthday finds him as hale and hearty as a man in his prime, although he has passed through many vicissitudes in this life. We hope Mr. G. may live to celebrate his 100 birthday. I ne Blineola second nine came In Sat urday to play the O'Neill necond nine. Four interesting innings were played, when a rain storm came up and the game was called. The score stood fire to eight in favor of Mineoia. The result of the game was not satisfactory to the O'Neill boys so they prevailed upon tile visitors to remain until the next morn ing and play it over. In the second game Mineoia won by a score of thirteen to eighteen. Every club woman will want the June Midland Monthly. (Des Moines, Iowa.) It has over fifty portraits of prominent club women, also two club articles, one descriptive of Wisconsin’s Clubs and the other describing the Iowa Feder ation at Cedar Rapids. Cther features are equally strong. Two of its stories, “Belle’s Roses,” by E. Hough, of Forest and Stream, and “On the Island,” a Mississippi river tale, by William Schuy ler, of St. Louis, are stocking realistic. Mary J. Reid, a staff contributor, de lightfully introduces Julia C. R. Dorr, and her poet contemporaries. Rev. Dr. May takes you on a bicycle ride from Ft. Custer to Livingstone. Lake Minne tonka revels in all its summer glory in this number. A striking feature, also, is Prof. Frank Russell's description of bis thrilling adventures in the heart of British America, down the Mackenzie river, to the Artie Ocean, thence around Alaska, a three years’ journey of over 18,000 miles. The Midland’s third volume closes with abundant promise. The “human ostrich" that exhibited in O'Neill a couple of weeks ago, had a little experience up at Gordon. The Journal tells the story in the following language: “There was a glass eater in town Tuesday. He ate broken lamp chimneys with as keen a relish as a girl chews her quid of Yucatan. He swal lowed carpet tacks and old rusty nails as a sort of appetizer. He took up a collection before giving his wonderful exhibition, agreeing to refund the money if he did not perform all he had agreed to.' The collection failed to meet his expectations and he cooly pocketed the cash and did not give the promised exhibition. About 9 o’clock in the evening, the boys gathered up all the ripe hen fruit they could find, and when the “professor” mads his appearance on the street they greeted him in a most familiar style. As he dashed through the kitchen and dining room of the Dean hotel, he resembled an “egg ome lette.” He was not long in making his exit from the town; but when, where, and by what means no one seems to know.” When a woman sends her subscription to the Ladies' Home Journal special privileges seem to go with it, besides getting her full money’s worth in the magazine. She can take the fullest advantage of a perfect educational plan by which she can educate her daughters or sons at the best colleges in the country free of charge, and now the Journal has arranged it so that she can buy her books—even a single book at a time—at prices heretofore obtained only by large buyers. There comes to us from this magazine a very artistically gotten up illustrated booklet of over 250 pages, called “5,000 Books,” which serves as an easy guide to the beBt books in any de partment of reading. This guide is very well done. The besl literary ex perts of New Tork, Boston and Phila delphia were engaged by the Journal to select the 5,000 books which it presents as the most desirable for a home library, and their work has been admirably carried out. Very clear explanatory comments are given by these men of books, and besides there are gives no less than 160 portraits of leading authors. No book will, perhaps, do so much to extend good reading as this guide, so carefully gotten yp, so beautifully prin ted, and so generously offered, free of any charge, by the publishers of the Ladies Home Journal. “5,000 Books” is unquestionaly the best and easiest guide to a wise selection of books that has been issued for a long time.

The day was rainy but that did f not have the effect of keeping citizens away from the ex ercises, although on account of an ex traordinary heavy shower the program was somewhat delayed. It was about 8:80 o’olock when the procession, headed by the O’Neill band, followed by the G. A. R., Bartley Guards and a long line of citizens, marched through the mud to the court house, where the program was as fol lows: Song by the choir. Address by T. V. Golden. "The Little Black-eyed Rebel,’’ Mar tha Cress. Recitation, Maud Pfunder. "The Drummer Boy’s Burial,” Rose Fallon. Recitation, John Bigiin. Song, Mike and John Sullivan. “The Night After Shiloh,” Letty Gil lespie. ilUUlVDQ UJ ililO. A 1U1, Sang by the choir. Benediction, G. A. R. Chaplain. This program, although pretty long, held the closest attention of the au dience during its renedition. It was good in every detail, and particularly the addresses of Mrs. Taylor and T. V. Golden, and the music by the ehoir. At the conclusion of the ceremonies in the hall the procession formed on Benton street facing east. The order of formation was as follows: O’Neill Silver Cornet Band. Members of G. A. R. Co. F, Second Regiment N. N. G. Flower Girls. Mayor and City Council. All Other Carriages. The line of march was east on Fifth avenue, south to Douglas street, west to First street and north to cemetery, where the ceremony was of the usual character and very impressive. CITT COUNCIL. The Mayor and city council met in regular session and as a board of equali zation, last Monday evening in the council rooms and adjourned until Tues day morning at 10 o'clock. The meeting was called Tuesday morning pursuant to adjournment. No one appeared before tbe board of equili zation. A few bills were allowed after which the appropriation bill for the ensuing year was passed: The city counotl upon motion made the tallowing estimate ot the probable amountof money necessary, for all purposes, to be ex pended In the city, during tbe fiscal year commencing on the first Tuesday In May, 1SU5: Salaries of city officers and employees'. .11,380 fuel, lights and rents..S1.55S building and repairs. 360.00 O’Neill Oity H.

F. Biomm, Mayor Attest: N. Martin, City Clerk. The marshal was instructed to see that stock was kept out of tbe city park. Upon motion Tna Frontibr was selected as the official paper of the city. There has been considerable talk the past two or three months about doing away with the street lights and having the city do its own pumping, as it was claimed the lights cost too much. The supply committee found that it would cost tbe city about 8110.00 a month to do its own pumping, while the pumping and the lights cost now only 8134.00 a month, so that the lights cost the city only 824.00 a month, or 83.00 each, and the coucil decided to keep them.

The fooler he really is the smarter he thinks he Is, and the smarter all fools think be is. He is generally engaged in what he calls "roasting" somebody or something anybody or anything, and he thinks he is a master-band at ridicule. His article generally has a sensational head oyer it, and gires the reader the impression that he is about to be made acquainted with the worst kind of crook edness and venality. But on reading down the column, the eye all the time on the lookout for the expected rascality, we finally come to the end and find that there is nothing in it whatever, except the fool editor's or somebody else’s spleen. And there is nobody who is safe. There used to be such a thing as reason able safety from western desperaaoes. The wort cutthroats that ever infested the camps of the Sierras were fellows who confined their attentions as a general thing to their own class, and a tunil who went aiong aooui nil own l business was as safe as be would be in the streets of Riverside today. Not so with the fool editor. You dare not shake a stick in bis little kingdom, you dare not stir outside your door, and even in the sacred limits of your own home you know not when a missle will be hurled. From the cunning nets of politicians you can escape—though sometimes they seem to hold the very nation in their villainous grip. From robbers and thieves you can protect yourself by eternal vigilance. But from the “enterprising" fool editor the shield of Ajax would be no defense. To him there is nothing sacred, nothing pure, nothing innocent. The vandal’s blade is his sword, the alter of Mammon is his shrine. .Abuse is his daily profession, to which all else is subordinate. The great, the holy, the learned, the earnest, the devoted—these can stand serene in the fierce light of public gaze, but wait till the fool editor arrives, then all go down in one commingled dust of odium and ruin.—Riverside Reflex.

Oh, you all havo heard of Mudvllle, Hoard of mighty Casey, too; Of the groans amid the blcaobers As the ball thrloe past him flew; But you haven't heard the story, The best story of them all. Of the day In happy Mudvllle. When great Casey slugged the ball. 'Twas the day they played “the giants;’’ And the score stood ten to eight; Two men were on the bases.' And great Casey at the plate, “Swlper her, Casey,” yelled the rooters, And the hero doffed his cap; Three to win and two to tie And Casey at the bat. Mid a husli of expectation, Now the ball tiles past his head; Great Casey grins a sickly grin: . “Strike one,” the umpire suld. Again the pitcher raised his arm, Again the horse bide flew; Great Casey spat upon the ground, And the muplrenald , “strike two." it s a roast, came from toe grand stand, “He Is bought without a doubt," “He Is rotten," roared the bleachers, “Throw the daylight robber out!" “I’ll break yer taco says Casey, “That wan wlnt below me knee; If I miss the nlxt, ye blackguard,, , Ve won’t live long to see." The next one oarne like lightning. And the umpire held bis breath, For well he knew If Casey missed, ‘Twould surely mean Ills death; But Caseyswung to meet It, Baoked by all his nerve and gall:— Oh, If you had but heard the yell. As Casey smashed the ball 1 He caught the pigskin on the nose, It cleard the big town lot, It sailed above the high chureh tower, In vain the fielders sought: And Casey didn't even run, He stopped awhile to talk, And then amid the deafneing cheers, He came round In a walk. And now he keeps a beer saloon. He Is mayor of the town, The people flock to see him, From all the country round; And you need not look for Hud vllle On the map upon the wall. Because the town's oalled Caseyvllle; Since Crsey slugged the ball. —Nat Wbioht. Mrs. Blifkins—Do the bathers shodk you? Mrs. Snifkins—Oh, no. I’ve traveled in Africa.—Town Topics.

Long Pine Republican-Journal: Dia mond Diek and Company's Wild Western show pitched their canvass In this city Monday and gave a perform ance in the afternoon and evening that was well worth walking twenty-fivo miles against the wind to see. The show was a great treat., a representation of real border life, by men who have been on the frontier for a life time, some of whom never looked upon a railroad train until a few das ago, when they struck Deadwood. They have with them an old stage coach which was attacked In '78 at Canyon Springs, by Indians and outlaws, and rescused by Diamond Dick, his scouts and cow boys. It is also the stage from which “Lame Johnnie" wbo, though in the custody of the sheriff, was taken out by bis pals, near a little creek afterward named “Lame Johnnie Creek,” and hanged to a tree. John W. Thompson, better known as “Honest John," who has driven the stage for nineteen years, is still with it. The show has several features, any one of which is well worth the price of admission. Some time ago I was taken aick with a cramp in the stomach, followed by diarrhoea. I took a couple of Doeee of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Dlar rboea Remedy and was immediately relieved.
