One of the country’s eminent thinkers and lecturers expresses the correct view regarding newspapers when he says: ‘‘A newspaper is as valuable to me for what it does not contain as for what It contains. A glance through its columns will reveal to me whether it contains anything of importance or anything I care to know. A newspaper is as useful to me to impart the information that nothing of importance has happened or has been arranged to take place, as it is to tell me about that which has occur red.” Stuttgart Free Press: Mra.

The successful evasion of the law by the murderers of Barrett Scott seemed to have given the gang a notion that they can repeat such outrages with Impunity. There is but one result that can be looked forward to and that is punishment. A man or gang of men may violate the law for a time but soon* er or later justice is certain to overtake them. People for a while may shut their eyes to the petty crimes but when it comes to drawing the line between law-abiding citizens and those who do not respect the law the masses of the* people in every community are tov b» found on the side of the law.

Ewing, Neb., Oct. 3, 1805. Editobs Frontier—It has been with considerable interest and a great deal more surprise that I have read in the populist press of Holt county words of sympathy for that "Honest Old Soldier, John Woods," after he failed to secure the republican nomination for treasurer. I know that these tender lines were not written because of any kind feeling they harbor for the old soldier; the record of their party makes such an assumption ridiculous. I would like a small pcriion of your space this week to inform these papers in language that cannot be mis understood, that John Woods seeks no sympathy. From the birth of the populist party until now they, the populists, have dep recated the waving of the bloody shirt. Now their sole object is to sow dissen sion in the republican ranks and draw votes from Biglin. Let us see how much love the populists have for the boys who wore the blue. In 1893, only three years ago, they voted for a rebel brigadier for vice-presi dent of the United States. And right here in Holt county they elected an ex confederate officer as one of the super visors of Holt county, turning down a man who had distinguished himself as an officer ve a car load on hand and will sell cheap for cash, or on short time.

District court has disposed of a Urge number of cases since it convened two weeks ago. Among the following are some of the more important ones: In the case of the state vs. Ed. Tier nery defendant Sled an affidavit setting forth a story of financial embarrassment and asking the court to appoint an at torney for his defense. The court ap pointed N. B. Chapman, and the trial will come on later. The case of the Phoenix Insurance Company vs. ex-Sberiff McEvony was dismissed by the court. The plaintiffs alleged that he had over charged them in the matter of tees, and asked for 900 penalty in each case, as is provided by statute. On appeal from county court, by de fendants, Fred Felts received Judgment agaiust the Fremont a»d Elkhorn rail road for 968, for a horse that was killed by an F. E. train. Clarrissa VanBuskirk scoured an ab solute divorce from her husband, Wm. L., and was given the custody of their children. For this necessity she was re quired to pay the cosU of the action. Mattie E. Kenedy’s prayer for a di vorce from her husband was granted. Oeo. Bhrickler was granted a divorce from his wife Jennie.’ The three criminal cues against John Tomsik were dismissed. Also the case of the state against Barney, wherein he wan charged with having disnosed of a stock of goods with intent to defraud creditors. The case against Oeo, Bowering, ac cused of haying received deposits in the Stuart State Bank after the same wu known to be Insolvent wu dis missed. ' The Hanover National Bank secured a Judgment against Geo. Bowering on a note. The case grew out of the fail ure of the Stnart bank. Mary Schermerhorn was granted di vorce from her husband, Albert E., custody of her children and allowed to resume her maiden name, which is Marah I. Searl. In the case of the Singer Manufactur ing Co. vs. Chu. Carroll, the jury gave the defendant possession of the bone. The costs in the’ cue amount to about 1300. The horse is worth perhaps (40. Peter F. Thompson secured a judg ment against the Omaha Fire Insurance Company for 83865.80. Thomas Hudson secured a judgment against the O’Neill lodges of Oddfel lows and Knights of Pythiu for (108.00 each, reward offered by them for the discovery of the body of Barrett Scott. There were some twenty or thirty per sons who claimed a part of the reward and the'lodges allowed the matter to .go into court for settlement. » BIAS AJTD REFLECT. The Frontier Invite* the attention of the people of Holt county to the fol lowing article, which appeared in the last issue of the Beacon Light. We re gret that every voter in Holt county does not read this paper; we would like for each and everyone of them to read this most brutal production and then settle the question honestly with them selves. There is in the article not a single sentence that conforms to or is borne out by the testimony introduced at the trial of the case, and it seems to us that were more evidence needed to satisfy the people as to who committed the murder and by whom defended, this inhuman composition would be suffi cient: A FEW wnos. Who are they that lament over self written letters to such dead beats as Jim Binkerd, who left the county on Sun day because attachments could not be served? The poor miserable rakes of liars and defenders of thieves who act as “specials” to the hell-broth sheet at Lincoln. Who are they that give up as lost to party such honorable men as Peter Greely, with a "don’t care a dam,” and then speak in high compliment of such Barrett Scott tools as John Menzie, Jim Binkerd, Jake Hershiser, John Brady and others? The low-down scalawags who have stolen the people’s taxes and the lousy newspaper editors who have been paid out of the stealings to defend the thieves and slander honest men. Who owned the only two-horss cart in the county? (a two horse cart hauled the perjured Schmidt away from the kidnapping.) One of the Holt county gang. W ho most resembled the man the wit ness saw at the sod house? The man that owned the only two-horse cart. Who wore his hand tied up in a rag for several days after the girl did the scratching? The same man. Who owned the only Harrison wagon within 20 miles of the tragedy—such as all the clan swore they were hauled away in? One of the old gang strikers who impeached himself on the stand. Who owned the team exactly describ ed that pulled the wagon? One of the old gang that business in another state during the progress of the trial. Who suggested that certain populists should be arrested soon as the news reached town, thereby giving away the hellish conspiracy ? A. razor-faced tool and hireling of the robbers. Who perjured themselves swearing out warrants against innocent men? Un princled subjects of the nm gang of hellions who stole the county taxes. Who fathered the perjured verdict of the coroner's Jury directly charging men with the crime who in court proved by the testimony of from four to six of as good, upright citisens as reside in Holt - county that they were not within ten to twenty milee of the spot Where the - tragedy occurred on the fatal dayf Who owned the mill where the body was kept in state, pending the offer of large rewards, till It frose stiff as a dead > hog? Who hauled the body down to the bridge where the "wagon tracks turned around" and slipped It under the Ice in the little air hole, and anchored with 90 feet of rope? Who knew where to go and cot a hole in the ice within four'Ieit of the body the next day and find it yet frosen? A Who bellevee that a body would be' frosen If 90 days Immersed below frost ; v line, or in seven faet of water, as was testified to in this case? —.■*■-■■■- • ' $ ■ • nroMxo mom. J. P.
