These glorious rains cool the ardor of
the irrigationists. Interest should not
be allowed to lag, however. July and

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

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

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

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

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

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.

DECORATION DAT.
Decoration day was observed in
O’Neill in patriotic style. 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

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 FOOL EDITOR.
lie Is plentiful and multiplying. 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.

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.
