THE FRONTIER. •K PCIlLISIIF.lt EVKRY THCUSDAY By V Tut Fhoutikh l*ttistisit Co._ O’NEILL, ~ NEBRASKA Let the new womun dress and talk fp Mm she will. She likes It, and she's Just u fond of the old man as ever. The Macedonians are In open revolt Against Turkey, but It has been a long time since Macedonia was anything more than a shadow In hlBtory. It has been suggested that the Ger man allowance of fifty bottles of cham pagne to each member of the press at Kiel was prompted by a desire for full reports. The progress of reform In New York Is shown by the refusal of a man to accept a 17,500 office. Under the old regime it would not have been offered to a man who would refuse. Virtue Is always at a disadvantage In a legislature. It has no money to spend for virtuous purposes, and It seems wrong to bribe a man to do bis duty however much noble patriots ex pect such greasing. According to a census bulletin on churches there are only twenty-five “altruists" In the United States, and Judging from the general tone of mod ern society, these twenty-five confine themselves to faith without works. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Georgia farmers must prepare for war. So says Chief Entomologist Howard, of the Agricultural Depart ment. The present Is the "locust year" for these. Those of the west central Croup will be invaded by vast armies of the seventeen-year brood, which last appeared in 1878, while Georgia will be vlsted by the nineteen-year or Southern brood, last seen In 1882. By the merest chance the Frankfurt er Journal has discovered the oldest man In the world In the person of a merchant residing at Hellbronn. This gentleman, in a letter to the editor of that periodical, styles himself "A sub scriber from the first appearance of the L paper." Such loyal devotion deserves appropriate acknowledgment In this fickle age, tor the Journal has now com . pleted the 280th year of Its existence. The special newspaper room In the new public library building, Boston, will contain representative newspapers from every country In the known world, and In every language In which p, newspapers are prlntod. Nothing which Is not a newspaper can be ad mitted to this room—all magazines, re views, etc., being prohibited. This is ■ the first distinctively newspaper read ing room ever established in connec tion with the educational Institutions Of this country, and Its foundation has been made possible through the bequest ll- of the late J. H. Fiske, who left a per petual endowment of $2,000 a year for \|te maintenance. 'The announcement has been made '* ’■* public that President Seth Low would give to Columbia College its new li brary, to cost about $1,000,000, and W. C. Schermerhorn would give $300,000 to pay for the erection of one of the build ings on the new site. T.he New York Evening Post says in this connection: "President Low’s magnificent gift of $1,000,000 to Columbia College for a library building, makes, we believe, nearly six millions the college has re ceived In gifts since he succeeded to the presidency. This may fairly be said fi to “beat the record" among American colleges, If we except the foundation of the Chicago University.” Tacoma, Wash., has a horse-canning establishment which cans meat es pecially (or the French market. The Gayuse Indian horse they use is a very different animal from the old spavined, broken-down dray horses and plugs used In Eastern and European locali ties. A party ot Chicagoans were re cently feasted on “Cayuse,” and found, while coarse, it was tender, and rather pleasant to the palate. The coarseness ot the fiber makes it easily detected. Speaking of the question, the New York Times wants to know where we shall look for the horse of the future. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says: “Look tor him in the bologna sausage.” The last official report from Argen tina showed that over 7,000,000 acres bad been sown in wheat, and it was estimated that the harvesting of this crop cost $220,000,000 in paper money, gold being at a premium ot 270 per cent. Many of the farmers, it is said, did not harvest the wheat. The total yield of the present crop In Argentina Is put at 1,200,000 tons, for which the farmers would get $48,000,000, causing a loss of $162,000,000. The average price of wheat there is $4 for 100 kilos of 220 pounds. The export of this year’s crop In Argentina is put at 540,000 tons. It Argentina Is losing money on wheat, It may be a sign that the farmers in the United States have a chance to make some little profit on their crop. Canada is going to reduce her militia force. This 1b the most sensible thing Canada could dp under the circum stances. She doesn’t need militia to protect her from the United States, and If she ever gets into a fight with Great Britain. Brother Jonathan will protect her with his new navy. Winfield, Kan., had a shower of grasshoppers the other evening, and at Chicago it rained snakes.

Two men named McKenzie and O’ Leary started from Omaha in a buggy, intending to drive to their home at La Platte. About six miles north of Pluttsmouth, a heavy wagon pulled by a large span of horses, was coming di rectly back of their buggy and the ani mals became frightened and dashed j into the light buggy. The two occu- i pants were thrown violently to the ground and run over by the heavy wagon. 1 Mr. McKenzie was frightfully bruised and crushed and died in great agony the next morning. Mr. O’Leary is quite seriously injured, but his physi cian thinks he will recover. Three Girls Drowned. A Columbus dispatch says: A most shocking and heart rending accident happened about 5 o’clock this after noon. Three young girls lost their their lives by drowning in the Platte river, just below the wagon bridge near Columbus. Lizzie, aged 13, daughter of Charles Klaus; May, aged 13, and Hulda, aged 7, daughters of Gottlieb Klaus of Co lumbus, were bathing or wading in the river in company with an older Klaus girl about 15. In some way the entire party got into the swift current and the three younger ones were lost while the older one by hard struggling, after drifting half a mile, managed to escape on a sand bar and gave the alarm. The bodies were recovered, two of them one-half mile and the other two miles below the scene of the accident. Will Have Float.. The executive committee of the Busi ness Men's association of Omaha held a meeting and transacted a large amount of routine business. Word has been received from a large number of coun ties which will have floats in the Ne braska parade, but still a number of enterprising cities and counties have not yet sent in word of any kind. The Omaha Business Men’s association has made arrangements with the railroads to transport the floats free of cost, and is anxious for every county through its principal city to be represented in the parade. Every effort will be made to make the parade the oiggest advertise ment ever given of the whole state of Nebraska. William Lyle Dickey, sec retary of the association, will answer all letters on the subject addressed to him, and the association will assist in every was possible any city which de sires to send a float Promoting Irrigation. Much attention is being attracted to windmill irrigation in this portion of the Lodge Pole valley, says a Dix dis patch, .by* the remarkable discovery made in the irrigation well of Hon. John Clausen. This well is 18x30 feet, and twenty-four feet deep. In the bot tom a hole was broken through a crust of hard pan. through which a stream of water rises with great velocity. A nine-inch pump running continuously in a high wind fails to lower the sup ply. A colony of well-to-do families is now forming in eastern Nebraska to come to this place in the fall and settle on forty-acre irrigated farms NO SETTLERS MASSACRED INDIAN AGENT TEETER POSITIVELY DENIES THE REPORT. ABSOLUTELY TRUTHLESS. The Indian Bureau at Washington So In* formed by Telegraph—The Cause of the Trouble Fully Explained by Mr. Stltser In an Official Report to the Authorities. Washington, July 29. —The Indian bureau has received a dispatch from Agent Teter saying there is absolutely no truth in the report of"a massacre of the Jackson’s Hole settlers The Causes of the Trouble. Cheyenne, Wyo., June 29.— Adjutant General Stitzer has forwarded his re port of the Indian trouble to the gov ernor. It is quite a lengthy document and covers fully the causes leading to the trouble. It says: “In an inter view on Sunday with four prominent residents of Jackson’s Hole, the fol lowing statements were given me as grounds for the action of the settlers: They claimed that the llannocks, Sho shones and Lemliis have for the past six years slaughtered game in large numbers, mainly for their hides. In 1894, after repeated appeals from the county authorities of Fremont and Uintah counties, the interior depart ment ordered that no more passes should be given the Indians al lowing them to leuve the reser vation for the purpose of hunting. It is estimated that 5,0o0 elk were killed iu that year. This year the set tlers of Jackson's Hole determined to enforce the law airain&t the Indians and whites alike. On June 24, a pro cess was issued for the arrest of nine Bannock Indians for violating the law When the constable and posse at tempted to sevre their papers, they re sisted and threatened to kill them un less they went back to Jackson’s Hole. Just about this time a squaw man liv ing at the Hole received a letter from the Indian Bannock reservation stat ing that the Bannocks intended to go on the war path and kill the whites in the Jackson Hole country. This letter was shown to the settlers and created a great deal of excitement. “On July 2 eight Bannocks were ar rested for killing game, and six of them were fined ST.I and costs and sen tenced to jail until the fine was paid. They escaped from the guard and on July 10 more of the same tribe were arrested. They attempted to escape after trial and were fired on by the whites, several of them being killed. On July 9 Captain John Smith, a miner and prospector, was fired on from ambush and wounded in the right breast. He returned the fire, killing one of the Indians. The shoot ing of Captain Smith caused a great deal of excitement and the settlers believing that the letter received by the squaw man was true, prepared to defend themselves against the expect ed attack. “Besides killing large numbers of game, all the Indians arrested had in their possession hides taken from the settlers’ cattle, which the Indians had killed. It is claimed that over 3,000 head of elk have been killed this sea son, the Indians chasing game into the settlements and shooting indiscrimin ately among the houses, endangering the lives of settlers.” Trouble In Oregon Possible* Portland, Ore., July 29.—An Indian war, similar to that which has broken Jut between the Bannocks and Utes and the settlers of Wyoming1, may en gage the attention of the Oregon au thorities in the near future unless the interior department at Washington takes immediate steps to prevent the Indians now on the reservations in this state from indiscriminately slaughtering game and fish in season and out. Ever since Fish and Game Protector McGuire has been in office he has had trouble with reservation Indians. Last summer about luO In dians from the Warm Springs reserva tion fished out of the Clackamas river in the vicinity of the new experimental hatchery, a spot which has been their favorite fishing grounds for many years. Another fishing party is ex pected to arrive and go into camp at the new hatchery within the next three weeks—just when the salmon are .spawning—and unless some meas ures are taken to stop them they will surely have trouble with the hatchery employes. Utah Red Men Also Unhappy* Salt Lake, Utah, July 20.—Quint Panqueutch. an Indian known through out U tah, was shot and killed at Pan queutch lake in the mountains, Thurs day, by a man named liaegelsted. The verdict rendered was accidental death, but the Indians in that vicinity are anything but satisfied with the case as it now stands. They are quite numer ous around the lake, which is an iso lated place, and they may make serious trouble. __ Horse Thieves Hold Up oncers. Perry, Ok., July 20.—South of here yesterday deputy sheriffs in pursuit of two cattle thieves came on them in a swamp, but did not see them nntil the thieves had covered them with Win chesters.

Wright. With wages and prices in I860 taken as the index, or 100, it showed that in 1890 prices were 92, wages 159, and the purchasing power of wages 172. He argued that at no time in the history of the nation was the country as pros perous as it was then, in spite of the “crime of 1873.” He submitted that these statistics were more applicable to the conditions under discussion than those of Mr Sauerbeck, quoted by Mr. Harvey on Thursday, as Mr. Sauer beck’s figures were made from prices in England. Mr. Harvey, in turn, took up the prices of wheat for a series of years, in reply to Mr. Horr's statement Thurs day that the farmer received as much for his produce in gold as he had re ceived before silver was demonetized. He quoted the prices from year to year and declared that the arguments of Mr. Horr were those which had been used in all time to bulwark tyranny. The Declaration of Independence was a proper answer to such arguments. The proper index of prices was to measure them in articles of international use. Tables made up by gold men even, on these articles, showed that they were lower than in 1850. Referring to Mr. Horr's argument touching the measure of value in human toil, he quoted from an article by Mr. Horr in a New York paper in reply to a correspondent sug gesting the making of so much work the equivalent of a dollar. Mr. Horr declared the proposition absurd and confusing. OHIO DEMOCRATS SPLIT, Sound Money Men and Silverltes of But ler County Hold Separate Meetings* Hamilton, Ohio, July 29.—When the Democrats of Butler county met to-day to select delegates to the state conven tion, each of the two factions had a large following present. The main fight was on securing the majority in the central committee , for silver. The convention was called to order in the opera house but there was a split and the sound money men ad journed to the court house, with ex Governor Campbell as presiding officer, while the free silventes remained in the opera house with Allen Andrews as chairman. The excitement was in tense and for a time pandemonium reigned. It finally became necessary order out the police force to keep order. The court house convention elected James E. Campbell and Paul J. Sorg as delegates at large to the state con vention. The other selected H. C. Gray, Peter Schwab, David Pierce, John F. Nielan, Christian Benning hoffen, E. F. Bundy of Middletown and Alf Demoret of Ross township. WESTERN CROPS. Traffic Managers Declare They Will Keep, the Roads Busy Twelve Months. Kansas City, Mo.. July 29.—Traffic managers of the Western roads are busily engaged these days in estimat ing the prospective size of the forth coming corn crop. It is believed by them that from information they have a conservative estimate is to give the states of Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas 800.000. 000 bushels. Of this amount 300.000. 000 is credited to Kansas, 225, 000,000 to Nebraska and the balance to 'Iowa. This is of corn alone, leaving as much other cereals to be moved to market. The amount of traffic which is looming into sight will certainly keep the roads busy f«r at least twelve months.to come so traffic men figure. Ina Donna Coolbirth Dying.
