THE FRONTIER. PUBLISHED EVEKY TlirilSDAY By Tim Froktibr I'bintixo Co. O’NEILL, ~ NEBRASKA. A young lady at a box party one talght defined a chaperon as “one who Cot out ef the way whenever there was * chap around." The Washington newspapers an nounce that the capital Is seething In •11 kinds of wickedness. Congress can not be blamed for It this time. Notwithstanding the evident desire W both parties to handle the liquor question carefully, the rush for drinks •t the candidate's expense continues. It may not be Invariably true that ttne feathers make fine birds, but In the case of the parrot they certainly do make a brilliant conversationalist. Personal Investigation has assured the agricultural editor of one of our New York city dallies that the story that watermelons grow on water Illy •terns Is a canard. An electrical type-setting machine has been Invented in Italy by a Domini can friar, which Is said to produce words In type faster than the linotype can make them in metal. Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, the divorced wife of Willie K., for year* has not addressed a menial directly, but has employed certain persons to take from her the royal commands. To talk to a tradesman or to order anything out of a shop Is too much for her nerves. On one occasion, two summers ago, she had a list written and given to the lodge keeper at Newport of the people who were to be admitted and those who were not. The Spanish authorities In Cuba con tinue to affirm that the insurrection Is practically crushed, and at the same time to send vehement appeals to Mad rid for more men and money. It Is hopeless to expect anything like ac curate details of military movements in Cuba, as neither party Is scrupulous about telling the exact truth; but measured solely by the efforts which •re made to suppress It, the Insurrec tion clearly is a formidable affair. The new portable Maxim gun, a small innocent-looking affair weighing but forty-live pounds, bids fair to revo lutionize modern methods of war. Its muzzle can be moved out by the bearer In all directions, and it will fire 600 bullets a minute, sending them through forty Inches of oak. It Is estimated that an army of 10,000 men equipped with this death-dealing terror would be equal to an army of 1,000,000 men with the present weapons. Lady Churchill’s achievements In English politics first showed the ener gy of American women abroad. Now Miss Mary Letter and Miss Jane Cham berlain, who were, are going to give an exhibition of their political finesse. Politics In Great Britain and the Unit ed States are entirely different. It Is likely that the young wives could not be tempted to electioneer on the Amer ican plan, and at the same time the sort of feminine stumping done in the United States would not capture a vote in England. Professor Wiley, the chemist of the Agricultural Department, has Initiated ■ series of experiments to determine Ject of the Investigation appears to be to determine the nature of the fertili sers necessary to restore the fertility of any particular soil, and thus to save the farmers thousands of dollars an nually spent for fertilizers which do not meet the necessities of the soil to which they are applied. Two tons of pig-iron have been pur chased by the Lancashire, Pa., author ities for the physical culture of tramps. Each convicted tourist will be com pelled to take five hours’ active exer cise by carrying this iron from one end of the prison yard to the other un der penaly of stoppage of rations. The method has nothing to commend it but its utter uselessness as a productive factor and Its aggravation to the tramp. The infliction of misery with out some compensating benefit is tho most diabolical of reform measures. We are threatened with a hotel build ing age. Architects and engineers say that never to their knowledge was there as much projected hotel and apartment house construction as now. What is the reason? It is this, that electric buttons, electric cookery, electric travel, and electric action of all kinds, concentrates advantages, and helps to multiply opportunities for association. The» social side of life is being devel oped. People want to be more together Instead of divided. Theaters, churches, clubs, associations, tours, travels, lec tures, reading of papers, books, maga zines, cable, telephones, and what not, ' are springing up right and left. That was a grateful surprise which met the Iowa school teacher who was engaged to a nobleman. For her courageous devotion to him the young woman 1* rewarded by the discovery that he is no nobleman at all. The new law in Michigan forbidding the organisation ef military companies composed entirely of members of one Religious creed Is a sensible one.

The State Hoard of Equalization has completed its laborers with the excep tion of Koyd county. The assessed valuation of the state is, in round num bers, $171,000,000. as against $183,000, 000 in 1804, a falling off of 813,000,000. It is expected that the amount realized from state assessments this year will fall between $600,000 and $‘.'00,000 less thun the legislative appropriation of last winter, which were a total of $2, 785,000. This deficiency will, there fore, be added to the outstanding float ing indebtedness, which is now about $800,000. The school fund levy is, maximum, ljtf mills; minimum, one half of 1 mill. It is claimed that this great shortage in state valuation arises from an apparent competition between taxpayers ns to who shall make the smallest return to the assessor in pro portion to the amount of property he owns. Stats Horticulturists to Host. The State Horticultural society has iccepted the invitation of J. M. Rus sell & Son of Wymore to hold a sum mer meeting’ with them July 23, 24 and 23. Wednesday the 24th has been des isgnated as peach day for Nebraska and the society members and those in terested in horticulture are to pass the day in the Russell orchards, with thou sands of bushels of peaches in sight and hundreds of bushels of early ripen ing varieties to eat Nebraska has long been known to raise the best ap ples. cherries and grapes in the west It is not as well known that hardy va rieties of peuches are also grown with commercial profit in the state. Pusses to tlie State Fair.1 For several years the State Fait board has been wrestling with one feature of the pass question which has caused it no end of trouble and also, it is estimated, a loss of over $10.U00 per year in the matter of gate receipts. On account of the change of location of the lair this was considered a good year in which to make a reform and a radical change has been made in the form.of the passes. During the lust few years all of the state fair associations, with three or four exceptions, have discon tinued the issuing of unlimited season passes and have adopted the coupon or punch system. Ho that Nebraska in adopting the coupon system this year is really somewhat behind the times The plan of issuing two kinds of passes, a coupon pass and the old style, was discussed, but it was decided that it would cause trouble and therefore only one kind is used. It has at tached to it five coupons, each one good for one admission to the grounds. The coupons are dated one for each day of the fair. Under this system the board of managers hopes to break up a “com bination" which has been imposing upon it for several years. Paroled Convicts Disappear. Warden Leidigh is looking into the question of rewards for the return of paroled convicts who have taken French leave. At least ten of the twenty-five or thirty convicts out on parole are 6uid to have fled the state and the war den fears every one will disappear in the same way. Information from the governor’s office is to the effect that a majority of the missing men skipped out last summer before Warden I.ei digh came into official existence, but no one was aware of it until Warden Leidigh began to devise some way to get them back. There is a fund of 940,000 to pay officers’ fees and sheriffs for the return of fugitives from justice, but it is a question whether such a fund could be drawn upon to puy re wards for the return of paroled con victs However, if the governor issues reward proclamations, the auditor will be obliged to pay 9200 for each convict returned. Alfalfa In Red Willow County. Several thousand acres were sown to alfalfa in Red Willow county this spring, and many thousand more will be sown next There are 40,000 acres of bottom land in the county, good alfalfa land, and before many years it will be in alfalfa. Last year was the dryest known there, and yet alfalfa was cut three to four times and yielded five or six tons per acre. The hay found ready sale last winter at 910 per ton. Heed runs five to eight bushels per acre, with some fields up to twelve to fourteen bushels. A 200-acre field turned off 1,700 bushels of seed, worth S3 per bushel, 99,500. The hay and pasturage was worth half as much, making 912,750 for the crop on 200 acres, which is not bad for a dry year. These crops were grown without irri gation, and almost without ruin. Home fields have already been cut twice, and the yield was heavy. A field cut Juno 0 to 8 turned off three good loads to the acre. The second crop now, July 12, is three feet high. Some sown last spring where land was clean has been cut once for hay and the second crop is a foot high. CORBETT DIVORCE CASE. Marie Kins Continues Her Testimony In the Divorce Salt.

London, July 22.—If further evi dence was needed of the brutality of English mobs on election days it was furnished yesterday in the East Nor folk district, where H. Rider Haggard, the novelist, was the Conservative candidate. He made a tour of the dis trict in a four horse drag and was re peatedly roughly treated, being pelted in some cases with mud and stones. Near Ladham Miss Hartcnp, who was a member of his party, was cut on the head by a flying missile and at Stral ham the party was obliged to take refuge in a hotel which was besieged by a mob. Police were sent to the rescue from North Walsham. North wick and Yarmouth, and Mr. Haggard and his friends were rescued at 2 o'clock this morning. The mob which besieged the hotel numbered about 300, and fled as soon as the police ap peared. and Haggard returned to North Walsham. escorted by mounted police. Miss Hartcup, however, was too ill to be moved, and was compelled to remain at the hotel. At Walsham Haggard received an ovation and made a speech, in which he said that in all iiis travels he had not seen such das tardly conduct. He, however, was de feated. the vote standing as follows: R. J. Price, Liberal, sitting member, 4,008; H. Rider Haggard, Conservative. 4,408; Liberal majority, 198, a loss of 242 votes. As Lord and Lady Mountmore were entering their carriage at the Mile End road, after the declaration of the poll, a man rushed forward calling out, "She's the one that done it,” and struck Lady Mountmore in the face . with his fist, knocking her down. So great was the force of the blow that her ladyship remained unconscious for some time. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the fol lowing was the standing of the differ ent parties; Conservatives, 293; Union ists. 17; total, 340. Liberals, 97; Mc Carthyites, 46; Parnellites, 6; Labor, 2; total, 151; grand total, 491; net Union ist gain, 61. Mr. McKel way of the Brooklyn Eagle, who has been studying the elections and their results, declares that the things voted down and out here are sumptuary theories of trade union pol itics and social experimentations. The things postponed from present con sideration are home rule, the disestab lishment of the English church and the abolition of the house of lords. The matters brought to the front are reform in the poor laws and policy of largeness rather than thin, local lib erty for Ireland, vigorous colonial de velopment and eventually bimetallism —the latter, > however, in favor of the International use of silver on its value in gold. The leaders of both parties have assured Mr. McKelway that no change need be expected in the unaf fected'friendship of Great Britain to ward the government and the people of the United States, especially as the latter, it is added, has ceased to be the recruiting ground for any political party in Great Britain.

At the foot of the bier, on a stand, was a glass jar filled with spirits, in which the muti lated hands were displayed. Prince Ferdinand has telegraphed that in view of the attitude of Stam buloff’s family, and being unwilling to expose his faithful servants to insult, he is compelled to forbid any state of ficial from taking part in the funeral. Prince Ferdinand's decision is due to the widow of Stambuloff having re fused the wreaths he sent. - Canada Retaliates on Lumber.
