J. L. Gibson, of the Crawford Beacon,

Visitors to O'Neill are always much

And why shouldn’t they be? It’s a

are greatly appreciated.

made. _
Printers’ Auxiliary: When the re
vival of business comes—and the first
indications of it are already at hand—
the best way to get a share of it is to
|Blvertise. Use freely the columns of
your county paper. It is good policy to
do this all the time, but if it has been
sunpended during the dull period it can
not be resumed -too soon if a share of
public patronage is desired.
Graphic: Tyler Scriven, of Conley
township, is mentioned as a candidate
for sheriff on the republican ticket.
Mr. Scriven is a well-to-do farmer of
the south part of the county, who is a
straight republican with a reputation
for honesty and integrity that can’t be
excelled by any man in the county. Be
is just the kind of a man that all
classes of people would vote for.
Exchange: A Swede friend of ours
came to town the other day, having
quite a sum of money in silver. A
friend made the remark to him that he
was a silver man. “Yes,” he said, “I be
a free silver man today, tomorrow I
may have gold and then I is a goldbug;
another day I have paper money and
then I am a greenbacker; and another
day I have no money and then I am a
pop." _
• The Graphic says “a gentleman who
has been quite prominent in populist cir
cles in this county for the last two or
three years told us that if the republi
cans put up good, clean, honest men
< that we would have the old time repub
| lican majority this fall.” Thai’s noth
ing new; they are nearly all talking in
that tone now. It is a foregone con
clusion that .the republicans will win if
they only act half wise.
Butte Gazette: Sanford Parker,
banker, poet and agriculturalist, con
templates starting a paper at Spencer,
so he informs us. It will sail under the
name of “Boaster.” Sanford has sev
eral back-number grievances, and a job
lot of up-to-date ones, that he wishes to
spring upon a suffering public and will
take this method of so doing. That the
“Boaster” will be a blooming success
there can be no question, as Bro. Par
ker is an easy and graceful writer and
has a bank back of the enterprise to
keep the machine running.
| itae following from the Atkinson
Graphic would indicate that that the
mass gathering of democrats, at that
place was not as momentous as the call
lead people to expect: “Last Tuesday
was the day set by the free silver demo
crats to hold their mass-convention to
send delegates to the demo-pop conven
tion at Omaha. Optician Baluss and
Dr. Blackburn scoured the city all the
afternoon from th railroad yards to the
river, and at 5.30 hijd gathered together
about fifteen men of doubtful political
color, who proceeded to elect Baluss and
Blackburn as their representatives in the
Omaha menagerie.”
"The local paper is expected to warn
the people not to patronize the agents of
the Chicago grocery houses who swarm
I over the country as they are fakirs and
swindlers,” says an exchange. “And
when these peddlers strike town the
business men see that they are promptly
assessed an occupation tax before doing
business. All this is for the protection
of the local merchants. But when a
smooth fellow from Peoria, Chioago,
Lincoln, Omaha or some other place
comes along and takes orders for cheap
Jim Crow printing no one thinks of
‘protecting’ the home paper which is
expected to expose the other fakirs in
order to protect the business me. How
would a little reciprocity work!'*
VERY GOOD RIDDANCE
The Supervisors Meet and Redistrict
According to Law.
THEY ARE ONLY SEVEN NOW
Fo pallets Lost Control in tho Lottery that
Drew tho Bor.on.
The oupverloora met Inst Tuesday and
by a voto of 18 to 12 decided to redis
trict the county into oeyen supervisor
districts as provided by the Burns law
enacted by the last legislature. A com
mittee of seven was appointed, a major
ity of whom were populists, to submit a
plan for rediatricting. The committee
returned a majority and a minority
report.' The board accepted the pop
majority report and the several districts
are composed as follows:
District No. 1. Cleveland, Sand Creek,
Dustin, Saratoga, Rock Falls and Pleas
ant View.
District No. 2. Shield*, Paddock,
Scott, Steel Creek, Willowdale and Iowa.
District No, 8. Grattan and O’Neill.
District No. 4. Ewing, Verdigris,and
Deloit.
District No. 5. Chambers, Conley,
Lake, McClure and Inman.
District No. 6. Swan, Wyoming,
Fairvicw, Francis, Green Valley, Sliere
dian and Emmet.
District Noi. 7. Atkinson and Stuart.
The minority report wanted all of
the districts formed upon different • lines
and would have the several distaicts as
nearly compact as possible, as the law
provided, but the pops were afraid the
republicans might have too good a show
of getting control of the board and they
promptly voted it down.
After the report was accepted the
members from the several townships in
each district drew lots to determine who
would represent the districts and the
following members were winners:
District No. 1. J. D. Alfs.
Distriot No. 2. J. Donohoe.
District No. 8. R. J. Hayes.
District No. 4. G. H. Phelps.
District No. 5. George Eckley.
District No. 6. H. C. Wine.
District No. 7. Frank Moore.
These members only hold until the
first of the year, and each district will
have to elect a supervisor this fall.
The new board met Wednesday morn
ing and elected H. C. Wine chairman.
The chair then appointed the following
committees:
Judicial and legal expenses, court
house and jail supplies: Phelps, Haves
and Alfs.
Printing and supplies, and finance and
official bonds; Hayes, Donahoe and
Moore.
On settlement with county officers—
Moore. Phelps, Wine and Donahoe.
Roads bridges ditches and drainage—
Wine, Phelps and Moore.
On tax titles and claims—Donahoe
Hayes and Alfs.
The board adjourned to meet Septem
ber 10, at 10 oclock.

MORE BASS BAIL.
The ball games In O’Neill last week
between O'Neill and Coleridge drew
| large crowds and all were satisfied that
they received the worth of their money,
particularly in the last two games.
Friday's game, the first, was a pretty
scrubby affair upon the part o( O’Neill’s
club, to tell the plain truth about the
matter, but they made up for it. in the
two succeeding contests.

This series of games was advertised to
be for the championship of Northern
Nebraska, and it was no j ike, either.
Coleridge had clearly established her
right to the belt and wore it gracefully
until she met her Waterloo at O’Neill.
O'Neill'a aggregation, although a new
one, had proven itself worthy the best
steel and the score shows it made no
mistake in contesting for state honors.
The games were all quiet and friendly
ones and we think the visitors were well
satisfied with the treatment they re
ceived while sojourning among us.
Their team is certainly composed of a
gentlemanly lot of boys and they made
many friends in O’Neill.

The district Judicial convention held
in O'Neill last Monday was not quite up
to populist expectations. The crowd
would have been plenty large enough for
a county rally, but for a district as large
as the Fifteenth it evidenced a lack ot
interest and don’tcareness that goes with
a forlorn hope and a lost cause.
In the forenoon a meeting was held In

speeches were made by the candidates

We urge the people of this district to the
Instant urgency and need of placing the

delay In the trial of causes, thereby In many
cases depriving the people of this district of
justice, and piling on a vast burden of tax

We charge them with long, wearisome and

political purposes and with the retaining In

Graphic: No one in Atkinson wanted
to inject politics Into the irrigation
Section, but when the populists tried to
[>oke Jim Grelg down their throats it
was time to inject something into the
question. With the idoa probably of '
rindicatihg someone, the populists are
putting forward their most objectionable
nen. The history of all reform parties
is that they start out fairly well, but the
lisreputable element which. always get
to the top soon drags it down to defeat,
and that will be the culmination of the
populist party in Holt county this fall.
