lead the democrats out upon the higher

guess no one questions the purpose of
the convention.

Plain Dealer: Prof. Anderson, prin
cipal the Atkinson high school, has re
signed his position here to accept a like
position in O’Neill. Mr. Anderson has
many warm friends here, who, while
they are loth to see him leave, congratu
late him on his good fortune in securing
his new, and better paying position.
O'Neill base ball sports are Impatient:
for the games that are bided for the
latter part of this week in O’Neill. Cole
ridge plays three games, Friday, Satur
day and Sunday, and it is anticipated
that they will be the best games to be
seen on the home grounds this season.
Admission 35 and 15 cents, ladies free
Friday.
Graphic: The school board met last
Tuesday night for the purpose of select
ing a principal for our public school.
There were three applications in and
after about thirty-five ballots had been
taken without result an adjournment
was had. The vote stood three for
Richard Cross all the way through, and
the other three scattering.
A special from Fremont to the State
Journal says: “County Attorney
Abbott has filed with the clerk ot the
district court a petition for a writ of
mandamus compelling the board of su
pervisors to meet at an early date and
redistrict under the Burns law. Judge
Marshall has fixed August 26 as the date
of hearing the argument. The case will
be appealed to the supreme court in any
event.”
Raudolph Times: Notwithstanding
their defeat, the Randolph people who
went to O’Neill last week have only
good words for O’Neill and the hospit
able manner in which they were treated
by the business men and citizens gener
ally up there. They are a whole-souled
lot of people and will not be out-done
when it comes to hospitality. Besides,
they were only reciprocating for the
kindly treatment accorded them when
in Randolph tho Fourth.
Young Tom Tierney left Sunday
morning for his new home in Brooklyn.
He was sentenced by the county judge
to a term in the reform school, but his
uncle said he would take him and bring
him up in the way he should go and the
judge thought perhaps it would be bet
ter for the boy than to send him to the
home provided for juvenile offenders.
W. J. Dobbs, who, with his wife, left
at the same time for Boston on a pleas
ure trip, acted as chaperon.
Coleridge Blade: Mrs. Jeanette Tay
lor has -recently been admitted to the
bar at O’Neill. The writer knows Mrs.
Taylor to be a woman of keen percep
tion and high intellectual attainments,
and should she decide to devote her en
ergies to the practice of law, will with
out doubt, make her mark in the pro
fession. Mrs. Taylor is already recog
nized as a public speaker of more than
ordinary ability, which accomplishment
will serve her well in her new field of
labor.
Alias Liuctle nates, daughter of Col,
Bates of the Plain Dealer, attended the
convention. Mias Bates lately graduated
from the Stale Normal of South Dakota,
and is a very expert stenographer. She
took down the proceedings in short
hand and we presume the Plain Dealer
will "scoop" us all when it comes to
furnishing an accurate and extended
account of the convention. The press
gang of O’Neill certainly envies the
Plain Dealer its accomplished and effi
cient reporter.
Plainview. News: The Randolph
Reporter says that “we are informed by
a number of our base ball enthusiasts
that the Stalwarts will play three games
of ball with the Hastings club for the
championship of Nebraska. Hastings
now holds the belt, and as Randolph has,
without a doubt, the best amateur team
in the state we see no reason why the
belt sdould not be tiansferred to the
Stalwarts." The above was written
before the Creighton and O'Neill
games. The Randolph club won’t
challenge Hastings this evening—she
h%s about all she wants to attend to in
this locality. Horatio!
O'NEILL DEFEAT! KIKNEOLA.
The gome Saturday between O’Neill
and Minneola waa not aa good aa bad
been hoped for. No one in particular
but everybody in general waa to blame
for thia. While the acore did not run
up badly and it took ten innings to de
cide the contest, the game was only in
teresting in places. Hanley pitched
six innings but the Minneola boys got
onto bis curves quickly, so Jamison
finished the game. He did the prettiest
kind of work and retired the boys in
rapid succession.
The boys from Minneola are nice fel
lows, every one of them, but it seems
they cannot put up a game in O'Neill
without getting angry and kicking on
the treatment they receive. In fact Tub
Frontier thinks they make a mistake
in attempting to hold the opposing club
down to the letter of the law, while
they themselves act'as though the rules
were made to work one way only.
Nat Bradstreet umpired the game,
and while he is a little rusty on base
ball he did the best he could and our
boys were satisfied.

Chadron Signal Jim Higgins and Newt
Hartzell of Chadron are under arrest for
robbing S. M. Wagers, of O’Neill, of
$400 worth of jewelery while on the Klk
horn train Wednesday night near Gor
don.
Wagers has been a prominent merchant
and democratic politician at O’Neill, but
is now on the road selling jewelry. He
was in Chadron Wednesday and while
here he met some old friends and joined
with them in a good many bowls of red
eye. He took the 10:53 passenger east.
So did Higgins and Hartzell. Higgins
got off at Gordon and took the passenger
west. A little past Gordon Wagers be
gan to look for his jewelry grip. It was
gone. He telegraphed west for Higgins
and the latter was captured at Rnshville.
Part of the stuff was found on his per
son. He owned up and said Hartzell
had the rest. A telegram to Valentine
stopped the latter. Higgins is a brother
of Tim Higgins, who has a saloon in
Crawford, and a brother-in-law of Tom
Coffey.
Later—We learn from his friends
that Newt Hartzell was not arresred as
one of the robbers as above stated, but
is being held as a witness against Hig
gins. W. P. Hartzell left for Valentine
Thursday night to furnish the required
bond for his brother’s appearance on
the witness stand.

THE POPS CONVENE.
The populist convention was held al
the court-house last Saturday as pei
previous arrangements and announce
ment.
The convention was called to ordei
l>y Sara Howard, chairman of the count]
central committee, who also read th<
call. He thanked the populist workeri
of the county very cordially for theii
past efforts and hoped for a continuance
of the same. Then he called for nomi
nations for temporary chairman, and It
response received the name of Barnej
McGreevy. The motion was amended
by one to substitute the name of J. L.
Coppoc. Strange as it may seem the
amendment was entertained, but losl
when it came to a vote and Mr. Me
Greevey was elected. He entered al
once upon the duties of his office with
out any preliminary remarks, by calling
for the election of tempory secretary.
John Morrow, of Atkinson, was elected
secretary and John llobertson assistant
secretary.
The. following committee* were then
appointed by the chair:
Credentials—Gene Cress. H. R. Hsnry
and John Flannery:
Order of business—S. B. Howard, Tom
Hannahan and Cord Smith.
Permanent organization—Justin Mc
Carthy, Br., John Stewart and J. L.
Coppoc.
) Resolutions and platform—J. W.
Leeper, J. J. McCafferty, Doc Norvall,
Ralph Parsous and D. A. Cole.
Mr. McCafferty, being a member ol
the committee, here got the floor and
talked like a stranger among a strange
people. He said: "Gentlemen,
although I have been voting with you
off and on for several years, I cannot
say that I believe or advocate ail of the
principles set forth in your national
platform, therefore it is questionable
whether or not I am qualifled to write
resolutions for this convention.” It did
seem a little strange to hear a delegate
from the populist stroughold in O’Neill
addressing the convention Just as though
It belonged to somebody else and tbal
be was in no manner responsible for its
being, or in fact a part and parcel of it,
but the chair said he guessed he would
do and he subsided.
There being no further business undei
tbe temporary organization the con
vention adjourned until a o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Afternoon session was called to order
at 3:30 and the report of tbe committee
on credentials called for. The report
showed 112 delegates present entitled to
seats in the convention. Iowa and
Swan were not represented. The report
upon motion was adopted.
Tbe report of the committee on per
manent organization was then read. Il
recomem]ad that John Morrow be per
manent chairman and Dr. Norvall per
manent secretary. The report wti
adopted and Mr. Morrow was called
from tbe secretary’s desk to the position
of chairman. He indulged in the usual
flight of oratory and the business pro
ceeded.
Tbe committee on order of businesi
reported that the order be as published
in the call. Pat Hughes moved an
amendment to the effect that each dele
gate be required to keep bis seat during
the deliberations of tbe convention, in
order to head off those who might de
sire to do a little electioneering. The
amendment was carried and the report
adopted as read.
The resolutions as read by the com
mittee were a little out of the ordinary.
Eternal allegiance to the Omaha plat
form was declared, and the offleere
elected by the populists heartily endorsed
so far as their actions coincide with the
party’s platform. The man who wrote
tbe resolutions evidently did not care tc
endorse the populist administration.
Taken as a whole the resolutions were
very uemiy kuu«d up.
Thirteen, delegates to the state con
▼ention were then elected. They were
elected by ballot.
Next in order wag the election of dele
I gates to the judicial convention. It waf
moved that an informal ballot be taken
for preference for judge, and that the
candidate receiving the highest numbei
of votes be entitled to the support of the
delegation to the convention, and be
allowed to choose the same. The resull
of the ballot was as follows: Golden 85
Murphy 54; Carlon 28; Roberts 2.
It was moved and seconded that the
rules be suspended and that each can
didate be given five minutes to stddress
the convention, but upon vote was lost,
and the balloting proceeded. The resull
of the second ballot was: Golden 42
Carlon 13; Murphy 56.
County Judge McCutcheon was re
nominated by acclamation, as were also
Clerk Bethea and Treasurer Mullen.
The nomination of a candidate fot
sheriff was next on the order of business
and was not so easily disposed of.
There were many kinds of candidates
for that office and they gave Hamilton
an uncomfortably dose race. It required
five ballot* to aettle the dispute, and
they atood this way:
First—Hamilton, 64; Stewart, 9;
Grimes, 9; Lei), 16; Greebe, 7; Pinker
man, 1; Hopkins, 11; Kline, 8.
Second—Hamilton, 68; Stewart, 30;
Grimes, 0; Lelll3;Greebe,8;Pinkerman,
1; Hopkins, 9; Kline, 12.
Third—Hamilton, 46; Stewart, 33;
Grimes, 16; Hinkerman 8; Hopkins, 14;
Kline, 10; UarngroveJ 3.
Fourth—Hamilton, 61; Stewart, 87;
Grimes, 17; Pinkerman, 2; Kline, 7.
Fifth—Hamilton, 61; Stewart, 61;
Grimes, 8.
This little dlmculty having been settled
satisfactorily or otherwise, harmonv once
more prevailed and the convention again
proceeded to nominate by acclamation.
Superintendent Jackson, Coronor True
blood and Surveyor Norton all got their
nominations in that easy and compli
mentary way. All opposition to U. It.
Henry was cliokod off and he was also
nominated by acclamation.
>II of the fortunates ns well as the un
fortunates were called upon for speeches
and they responded in the customary
way.
T. V. Golden, it could be noticed, was
very sore over his defeat. He said he
had not been defeated by the populists
of Holt county, but that a lot of skunks
had influenced the convention against
him. Some people wondered if he
really meant that a sknnk could dictate
to a populist convention.
After the speeches the convention ad
journed. _,
HO CHANGE OF HEABT.
The people who are pope today
Were erstwhile something olse.
Just what, of course, I cannot say—
The DIckenB only tells.
One a republican, of course,
Another, democrat,
A prohibitionist, porforce,
Greenbaoker and all that.
Now all these men were honost men—
Presumed so anyhow. >
But, If they wero not honest then
They surely are not now.
If honest tben, they're honest still.
If rogues, they're rogues today.
A change of name or party will
Not wipe a blot away.
Now, this is what I'm coming at:
I see all o'er the state
The pops have helped themselves to fat
From '90 up to date.
With striking unanimity
The “people’s'' county boards
Pull at the funds—a sight to see—
Whenever chance affords.
Why, see our home affairs today—
The bosses scheme and swap,
And throw our money ever way
From popity to pop.
Now, while I know the rank and file
Of populists on our square.
Their bosses are corrupt and ylle.
Both here and everywhere.
And so I end as I begin—
And I will mnke It terse—
They, rogues before you put them In;
Have gone from bad to worse.

“It is the best patent medicine in the .

Marquam, Oregon, says of Chomber

assertion is from the fact that dysentery

Lameness usually results from a

going to his room I found him suffering
from cramp colic. He was in such |i
agony I feared he would die. I hastily
gave him a dose of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
was soon relieved and the first words he
uttered were, “what was that stuff you
gave me?” I informed him. A few
days ago we were talking about his
attack and he said he was never without
that remedy now. I have used it in my ‘
family for several years. I know its
worth and do not hesitate to recommend
it to my friends and customers. For
