At one point in the scrimmage the hog got the better of it 'and landed Mr. Fallon up against a post, which struck him in the region of the heart. It was a knockout blow and the injured man was taken to his home in an ambulance. He is now resting easy and it is hoped no serious results will follow. Later—He has recovered sufficiently ; to be around again. Acts at once‘never fails, One Minute Cough Cure'. A remedy for asthma, and that feverish condition *' 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” anywa/ we violate no confidence by printing it for our own amusement. 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. mellow wedding bills.

Mann. 17-tf 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. Alberta Uttlev, Sec. Special Sale of Cloaks, Capes and Furs. Mr. A S.
