Miss Ida Hershiser came up from Norfolk Saturday night for a few days’ visit with her parents. She returned this morning.

The trial of James Tracy, who was arrested for perjury in connection with the Fanton case, and which was set for last Saturday, has been continued to May 8. T. S.

Andrew Baldwin, who was a resident of this city for a number of years, has fallen heir to $10,000, left him by an aunt who died a few days ago. All his old friends in this city will be pleased to hear of his good fortune. The Chicago Lady Quartet failed to appear at the opera-house last night as billed.

McRobert, of Leonia, returned last week from California, where he spent the winter for the benefit of k*s rheumatism. Thb Fkontibb is pleased to learn that he returns almost entirely well. __ The sun-up to sun-down services at the Methodist church last Friday were quite well attended. Rev. George is doing some good bard work in his field of labor, and his efforts are meeting with gratifying results. lhe following-named gentlemen went down to Lincoln Monday morning to attend the hard money democratic con vention- D. A. Doyle, O. F. Biglin, Wm Laviollctte, S. F. McNichols, Andy Gallagher, Charles Wrede and John Harmon. _' A Whitmore, of Page, was an inter esting caller last Monday. Mr. Whit more is a free trader, believes in the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and is a prohibitionist. He has a stock of forcible argument to back up his position in each particular. Stuttgart Free Press: Frank Mann, who has been clerking for Cramer for several months, has returned to his old home at O’Neill, Nebraska. Frank is one of the best salesmen who ever stepped behind a counter, and will be sadly missed in the store. The cause of the McHugh fight against Kattfzman is probably that the bosses are afraid the pop party will want to send Ham to the legislature. A move of this kind would dead sure shat ter the hearts of the defaulting element at the court-house who seem prone to swallow everything in sight. It the Beacon Light can afford to make up its local page by “cribbing” items from our patent inside we don’t know that we have any objection to offer, and therefore fail to see just why the Sun kicks. If both papers would indulge more freely in the practice their readers would appreciate the improve ment. ■ Frank Mann returned Thursday night from Arkansas, where he had been working for D. L. Cramer. Frank does not think as much of Arkansas as he does of a pretty girl, in fact be says it is one of the best places to leave be ever saw. The same story told by so many must be credited, the Arkansas kicker to the contrary nothwithstanding. Grand Master Workman Tate, through his attorney, has filed his answer to the petition filed by Mrs. Alice Scott to recover $2,000 insurance held by her husband, Barrett Scott, in that organi zation. It was thought by some that the case would be settled by the order, but it appears they are going to fight it. It will probably come up fer trial at the September term of district court. W. D. Saddler, special agent of the interior department, was in O’Neill last week. He was called suddenly to one of the western states, but expects to return again in a short time. His busi ness will be to inspect claims and report for cancellation entries in which, in his judgment, the law has not been com plied with. A great many claimants will probably hasten to make proof, rather than run the risk of an inspection. O’Neill says "no base ball in ours it comes too high.” O’Neill went broke last year trying to win a game from Coleridge.—Coleridge Blade. O’Neill had the best team that oper ated in the northern part of the state last year and she didn’t organize it for the express purpose of defeating Cole ridge either; it wasn’t necessary. O’Neill took two games from Coleridge in a series of three and did it nicely, too. O’Neill, however, did not “go broke;” O’Neill never "goes broke." Tbs Frontier enjoyed a pleasant visit Monday afternoon from Grandpa Binkerd, of Dorsey. Mr. Binkerd is 82 years old, and his wife, whose com panionship he still enjoys, is 84 years' of age. They have seventeen great grand children. He is a republican of the old school, having voted the whig and re publican tickets since 1836. The old gentleman is physically and mentally vigorous and says he will in a day or two make a tiip to Boyd county for the purpose of locating a claim. The Holt County Agricultural Society held a meeting in this city last week and on account of the financial con dition of the society it was declared ex tinct. A new organization was then founded, to be known as the Holt Coun ty Agricultural and Fair Association. The following officers were elected foi the ensiling year: President, W. J. Dobbs; vice-president, T. B. Maring; secretary, T. M. Morris; treasurer, Hi Hodgkin; directors. B. A. DeYarman. Neil Brennan, W. W. Bethea, J. P. Mann and W. S. Griffith. The associa tion will hold its first annual fair on August 24, 25 and 26* The Odd Fellows celebrated the seventy-seventh anniversary of the organization of the order, at their hall in O’Neill last Saturday night. An entertaining literary program was presented, and a splendid supper enjoyed at 13 o’clock. The Daughters of Rebekah participated in the exercises and are entitled to much credit for the success and pleasure of the occasion. The anniversary was cele brated by the Odd Fellows and their families and the Daughters of Rebekah. A printing office is* considered by some folks a tough place, and the news paper worker a mighty bad man. Sta tistics, however, do not bear out that idea. Of 3,890 convicts in the state penitentiary of Texas there is not a printer or newspaper man, while there are ministers, doctors, bankers, barbers, photographers, barkeepers, cooks and members of professions and callings. The printer gets a bad name because the nature of his business teaches him to detest shams, and he scorns the hypo crite, says an exchange. The hard times does not prevent the United States land office here from doing a large business. The receipts of the office for the first nine months ot the present fiscal year, which ends July 1, were 8105,055.49, or a little over 85,000 more than was received by the office at Duluth, Minn., last year, which stood at the head of the list. It is the opin ion of the officials that the last quarter of the present fiscal year will increase the amount to nearly 850,000, which will probably place the O’Neill office at the head of the list this year. It is quite probable that the electric light plant will start up again about May 1. Charley Hall is figuring on taking hold of the plant, as is also a Mr. Mohler, of Lincoln. Mr. Hall says that if he can get extracts for 800 in candescent lights be will run the plant, and put in a group of lights on the square at Fourth and Douglas. Mr. Mohler, we understand, if he secures control of the plant will run the arc lights as well as the incandescent, and hopes to induce the city to again put in street lights. It is to be hoped that the matter may be satisfactorily adjusted and the plant put in operation. Sunday afternoon fire destroyed the barn on the old Gallagher place, a mile and a half east of this city. The farm is now leased by James Pinkerman A couple of his boys were in the barn Sundry afternoon making a three-horse evener when they discovered the fire. They endeavored to get the horses out, but the fire had gained such headway that thev were unable to do anything. There were three horses in the barn at the time, two of which perished in the flames, while the other escaped and came to town, but was so badly burned that it was shot. A new set of harness and some grain were also burned. The Flam Dealer’s covert stab at the Jew is readily understood, though it presents the item in general. The Jew has to blow his own horn of praise for the reason that he has no brother pop editors to blow it for him. All the bal ance of them are under the rule of the Boss Mullen brigade who propose to gulp down everything in sight. It is well known that Eves has, on numerous occasions, expressed his utter disgust and contempt for the McHugh deal by which the Idol, Canadian Mike and the would-be district judge expected to freeze the Jew out by manipulating the election of directors for the Independ ent Publishing Co., and by which move McHugh would become the manager, : but he dare not exptess Limself for the reason that Boss Mullen, Sheriff Ham ilton. Canadian Mike and Long Hungry bad invested funds in the Eves plant at Atkinson. He is like his prototype. Me Hugh: has to say what pleases them, and it pleases them to crucify the Jew, although they owe their elections.largely to his work. The Jew was too cute to allow the populist bosses to manipulate the election of company directors, and while it is said that Canadian Mike was in Boyd county telling men that Kautz man had to go, and that he would see that he did go, the Jew was sawing wood and in due time a board was elected in direct opposition to their mode of conducting affairs. Eves ought to be the last man on earth to stab the Jew by innuendo in the interest of Idol Mullen; he is getting his feed to-day from the patronage that properly be-1 longs to the Jew. But it is ever thus when pearls are cast before swine. Landretli’s celebrated garden seed. We purchase these seeds direct and guarantee them fresh and true to name. They should not be classed with the common run of seeds left with dealers on commission. Use Landreth’s seed, and a good vegetable garden is assured. 87-tf. Morris ft Co. Its all the same, a slight cold, congest ed lungs or severe cough. One Minute Cough cure banishes them. Morris ft. Co. Mtn in every line of busineea meet queer people, no doubt, but the men who runs a newspaper meets them all. The editor circulates among all clasaes, under all conditions, and as Shake* pere would say, gets in their breasts and flnds out what their thinking. But about the funniest old fossil discovered in these parts for some time was located last week. A bill for subscription was presented to him, and he said, ''I guess you may stop my paper; you never mention my name anyway.” It is use less 16 reason with such men; they &inK because they subscribe for a paper that they are entitled to a hundred dol lars Worth of free advertising. Men built on such a gauge also imagine that they are setting the world on lire, when in fact thev are nothing but ballast on •ur 'floating hulk of humanity.

Wyant and Miss Dorthea M. Eisele were united in marriage, Rev.. S. Helm, M. E. pastor, officiating. Mr. Wyant is a popular, industrious and steady young man, who, for the past winter, has been head clerk at G. L. Barney's new store, at Chambers, and baa a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The bride, better known by name of Susie, is an estimable, tal ented young lady, whose friends are legion, and who wish her all happiness possible. She is the sixth daughter of W. F. Eisele, ex-supervisor of. Conley. The happy couple returned to the home of N. Wyant, fourteen miles from town, where a wedding reception was tendered them.

The bride was attired in a dark blue Tribly suit ordered from Chicago.

An elegant array of presents were received, to numerous to mention. The contracting parties will go to house keeping in tbe month of M»y _____ *% A KZPLT. Editors Frontier: Pardon me (or asking space in your valuable columns for tbe purpose of answering an article which appeared in the Baacon Light purporting to have been from one Adam Martin, but who has the brazen effrontry to inform me that he was not aware of what was contained therein, having been asked to sign or allow his name to be used in connection therewith by other parties who are probably more inter* ested in attempting to slander my char acter than appears on the surface. Thu poor weak vacillating character^ less scoundrel fails to realize that be is mesmerized by a lawless mob of pirates and murderers who have not the cour age or manhood to crawl out from under cover of darkness and allow me to pub licly tell them plain unvarnished truths, that wonld make their cringing souls j blacken, If they are possessed of such, | which I doubt. While I dislike to throw the lights upon the peat deeds of this man Martin, it appears my only recourse N since he will allow himself to be dictated to by thieves who use him as a tool, and who sit by and laugh while be attamps to follow out their directions. When this scoundrel was aeoused of stealing onions and tomatoes from Dan McClellan why was the latter refused a warrant by this Black John? Was it because be was a member also of this same thieving gang who are banded to- ■ gether for the purpose of preying upon C their neighbors? This nuo, who reaembles the African Ape, and bu lea* bralna, waa cap lured ~ by my doga while monkeying around , :-" my amohebouae and granary.

Tbia ia the poor weak creature, whom the man that writea letter* to a weak and heipleaa ' ; deaf and dumb girl hides behind, and ia received in the homee or reapeetable people and who poses as a reformer; who received the appellation of Blank John in a house of 111-fame where he borrowed $6.00 and never paid it back. Ye Ooda! How long will such charno ters be allowed to roam on tbia earth, •: making innocent people suffer by their •> cowardly attaoka from behind a tree or hole in the ground! How Martin, aak your partner, Johh McAllister, how be got the anvil yon 4 speak of. from John McCafferty and V:> mortgaged his team to pay for It. Were ‘ you also implicated With this .vS partner in “getting” two breaking plows $ from 8. M. - Wagers? Tell the people * i that you protect him la these things to* gather with your masked pals and , cowardly associates. Ho, you cowardly creature 1 feel disgraced to see the stain and stripes flying to the breaae in the same country with you and some of v your pals who fled to Canada when their ; presence was needed to protect it. There ? is no possible danger of you or your associates ever becoming attaehed to it or the glorious principles which men of honor fought to perpetuate. In conclusion, have your partners read the latter for you before you allow them to sign your name, or. better still, ask them for me to sign MS at thei* oww ' names to the communication.
