WANTED TO BUT ’EM.
A gentleman living in Atkinson visited
in O’Neill last Sunday and in a conver*
sation with a Frontier representative
said: ' '
"By the way, I saw Elmer Williams
in Atkinson the other day.” > *'
The reporter always interested in
Elmer’s movements, slid "is that so,
what was he doing?"
The gentleman from Atkinson then
chuckled to himself and remarked: "He
had been up west hunting geese, and
when the train stopped at our station,
he alighted from his car and hurriedly
summoned our nimrods to assemble.
When they had gathered about him,
in a voice that harmonized with his
look of despair he said, ‘for God’s sake,
boys, tell roe where I can buy a dozen
wild geese. I have spent a week in the
blanked sand hills of Sheridan and
haven't seen a feather. I dare not go to
O'Neill empty handed; can’t yon help
me?' But the boys told him they
couldn’t; the train whistled and Williams
grabbed the rear car in a manner1 that
indicated be didn’t care a darn whether
he caught it or not.”
The gentleman of Atkinson swore us
to secrecy in regard to the matter, bptas
"The Frontier has no circulation”

ANOTHER JAIL DXLIVXKT. ^
j Old man Ball, held on the charge of
rape, made hia escape last Thursday.
The old man was in poor health and was
kept at the Odgen instead of at the jail.
The court refused to liberate him on his
own recognisance and he was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff who located
him at the hotel and did not so much as
provide a guard for his safe-keeping.
A deputy called on him at his hotel
last Wednesday and informed him that
on the following day he would again
take him to jail, advlsfng him to arrange
for incarceration. When the deputy
called for him at the appointed time he
was gone and at the present writing he
hasn’t come back. He won't come back.
The case agalnstjhim was a strong one
and conviction seemed inevitable. ‘ He
was accused of seducing a 14-year old
step-daughter.
Jail deliveries under Sheriff Hamil
ton’s administration are becoming so
numerous as to excite but little comment.
People seem to look upon that as a
matter of course and say nothing.
While it is a fact that we have a poor
excuse for a jail and it is a shame to
keep even suspected criminals locked up
in it, more care should be exercised by
the authorities. It .does not pay to
spend a couple of hundred dollars appre
hending such characters and their allow
them to give the people a eake walk.
“THE BEAUTIFUL.’’
Sunday ushered in a snow slorm that
lasted during the entire day and most of
the night. It was accompanied by no
wind, but was one of those large flaked,
lazy affairs which reminds every one of
childhood days in the "old home back
east,’’ where blizzards were at that time
unknown and unfeared.
About six inches fell and the sleighing
is now very good. It’s coming was pro
pitious—from a pleasure seeking point
of view—as the moon is waxing, making
the nights beautiful; not too dark nor
too light, but just dark enough—so that
the couple in the cutter behind cannot
just,make out whether the fellow ahead
is driving with one hand or two.
Such a storm at this season is unusual,
but we ascribe it to the fact that Doc
Mathews is no more among us. Several
years ago Mathews wrote a poem on
"Beautiful Snow,” and since that un
toward event the county has been en
shrouded in one almost continual bliz
zard. His runic rhyme seemed to offend
the gods and Mathews was a Jonah to
the people. It snowed all of the time.
For a few weeks in July it would pause
for breath, only to come along in August
rejuvenated and invigorated like a man
baying taken the Keeley treatment; it
would freeze men while plowing their
corn and kill whole herds of cattle as
they nipped the budding blpssoms of a
season they thought summer. But
Mathews has gone; the whale got hiin
and spat him out in the back-water of
Arkansas, a victim for the malaria mi
crobes and booming bacteria. We look
for better things from this lime on.
TO SUBSCRIBERS:
The Frontier needs money and
needs it badly and must haue it.
It has seoeral hundred subscribers
who owe from $1.50 to $6.00 and
if they will pay up or at least a
part of what they owe. it would re
lieue the stringency of the money
market around these headquarters.
So we trust that all our subscribers,
who are owing us on subscription,
will call and pay at least a part of
what they owe us.

HOXXLXM CHILD***.
Rev, E. P. Qulvy, of Omaha, the atate
superintendent of the NebraakaOhildrens
Home Society, who spoke in the Metho
dist church two weeka ago laal Sunday
In the intereat of the little onea was in
the city again laat Saturday and com
pleted the organisation of 4 local advis
ory board to co-operate with the atate
board in providing homes for homeleaa
children. The object of thia society is
to gather up homeleaa children in Ne
braska and place them in Christian homes
in different parts of the state. This
society has been organised in Nebraska
only about two years and within that
time hy received 143 children, 180 of
whom are now in good homes where
they become members of the families
and are now fitted for lives of usefulness
instead of growing up in Ignorance, or
subjects for the reform school and other
institutions of like nature.
When we realise that It ousts 875 to
keep a child in a poor house one year,
and 8188.80 in an orphanage, one can
readily see the benefit of this society to
the public from a financial as well as
from a moral, educational and religious
standpoint.
The state board consists of the follow
ing well known Nebraska citisens:
President, Ghas. F. Manderson, vice
president, L. D. Holmes; secretary, Rev.
E. P. Ludden; treasurer, G. B. Benawa.
The local borrd here consists of the
following persons from the various
churches: Mr. Potter, president; O. O.
Snyder, vice-president; Alberta Uttley,
secretary, Laura Cress, treasurer. Mrs.
A. U. Morris, Mrs. Rosa Kinch, Mrs.
Jennie Harnish, Mra. F. B. Cole and
uib. v, n. tfuiimo. - v
Anyone knowing of ray children in
Bolt county needing homes, or any
person who may desire to take a home*
leea child will please report to any mem
ber of thia board whose duty it will be
to bare the matter attended to at once.
“Nebraska Homes for Nebraska Child*
ren," is the motto of the society. The
national society is organized in sixteen
states and over 5,000 children have been
placed in good homes by the society in
eighteen years.
They think they haye the best system
in the world for caring for homeless
children and to prove that they are not
alone In the thought the Worlds Fair
awarded them the medal for the best
plan of Work, which is surely a recom
mendation.
We note also that the O'Neill people
hare a desire to be at the front in this as
well as all other measures for adraheo
ment, as forty persons subscribed what
they could for the carrying on of this
work when Mr. Quivy was here, and we
trust that the community at large will
give the society its support and thus
help along a charitable and Christian
work.
Homes are now wanted for the follow
ing children: One girl 14 years of age;
One girl 13 years of age; one girl 9 years
ot age; one girl 8 years of age; one> babe
two months old; one boy 12 years of age;
one boy 8 years of age; one boy 7 years
of aye; one boy two years of age, and
two brothers 4 and 6 years old, all good
children.
We ask all who have good homes and
no children to look over this list care
fully and prayerfully.
