CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Holt county republican central
committee is hereby called to meet in
O’Neill on Saturday, May 23, 1806, at
2 o’clock r. m., in the office of S. J.
Weekes, for the purpose of fixing a
date for the county convention and for
the transaction of such other business as
may properly come before the meeting.

Clyde Kino, Secretary.
The press gang is trying to figure
out a combine between the three
Macs—MacColl, McClay and Me
Nish. Well, let ’em combine; they
are all good men.
Ed Fry succeeds wonderfully in
getting in bad repute with Knox
county republicans, but that doesn’t
seem to be any hindrance to him in
getting out the best newspaper in
that bailiwick.
The Randolph Times has pre
sented the name of George W.
Wiltse, of that city, as a candidate
foi the legislature from that district.
Mr. Wiltse is a sterling republican,
an eloquent and convincing orator,
and a man whom the citizens of that
district could rely upon serving them
faithfully and well.
GonoresAian Meiklejohn is again
in Nebraska working like a beaver
to secure that “stepping stone” to
the senatorship. George is no baby
in Nebraska politics and will Snake
:• the gubernatorial free-for-all worth
~ witnessing. There is one nice
thing about the contest this year,
anyway: No matter who wins at
the convention the republican party
is going to have a clean and able
candidate.
Governor Holcomb has made one
appointment that he will not be
called upon to blush for anyway.
We refer to the appointment of Su
perintendent Jackson to a position
- upon the state normal board. Mr.
Jackson is a populist, of course, but
The Frontier is willing to recognize
merit no matter where discovered.
The gentleman is well up on school
work and will prove a valuable mem
ber of the board.

The Ainsworth Star-Journal has
changed hands, J. KB. Good re
tiring and J. O. Berkley assuming
management. The paper shows no
deterioration under the direction of
its new editor, and will continue a
power for good in Brown county.

servant” Before the gentleman

signers on a bond, after it has been
approved by the board, and without
the consent of those having pre
viously signed it, invalidates the
bond. This throws a heavy respon
sibility upon the populist board of
Holt county, under whose instruc
tions Barrett Scott secured two ad
ditional signors on his bond, and by
which instructions the counly loses
about $70,000.

The working of the pension de
partment is an injustice to the de
pendent soldiers and a disgrace to
our country. For ten long and
weary years John Grady lay sick
and suffering in his home near
O’Neill; paralysis bad claimed him
for its own; his form, strong and vig
orous in defense of his country, was
emaciated beyond belief; a child
could have carried him away in its
arms; he was poor and needy; his
family was large and his income
nothing. About that time John J.
McCafferty interested himself in the
case and called it to the attention of
the people of O Neill, who contrib
uted to his temporary relief. Mr.
McCafferty also wrote a few articles
to the Omaha World Herald, the
effect of which was to cause the de
partment to over look a few unim
portant defects in his evidence and
grant him a paltry pension; a pen
sion hardly sufficient to provide
medicine for his malady. And
thus things dragged their painful
length along until Allen was elected
to the senate, when Mr. McCafferty
again interceded for the unfortunate
man and succeeded in getting the
senator to introduce a bill for his
relief. Dispatches of last week
stated that the bill had passed the
senate, allowing Mr. Grady $72 per
month. But it came too late; taps
had sounded; the old soldier’s heart
had grown sick from hope long de
ferred and he was resting at last in
the silent bivoiiao of the dead. The
grim messenger had brought calm
to his troubled breast and gently
taken the sting from a nation’s in
gratitude.
POINTED AND PERTINENT.
Don ' Dickinson was evidently
cool and sober when he “fixed” that
Michigan democratic convention.
The republicans surprised the
democrats by gladly aooepting Mc
Kinleyism as the leading issue of
the campaign.
Democratic denunciation of Me
Kinleyism has played an important
part in placing Governor McKinley
in the leading position be occupies
today. __
The Cleveland democrats are not
scrupulous as to .the means they
employ to keep the silver fellows
from controlling the Chicago con
vention.
• There is more than a suspicion
that-some of our democratic friends
are dissembling when they pretend
to be anxious to see the republicans
nominate McKinley.
If Senator Tillman’s boasting
doesn’t destroy the strange and un
accountable power he has had over
the South Carolina democrats many
will be surprised.
' The British government is finding
out that although President Kruger's
picture makes him look like an easy
victim for a bunco steerer he has all
the proverbial shrewdness of a
Dutchman.
Those who feared that Mr. Cleve
land was losing interest in living
may dismiss their fears. Since he
began to veto private pension bills
ugain and the fishing season opened
he is once more semi-cheerful.
When a democratic office-holder
works against the Cleveland wing of
bis party he is adjudged guilty of
violating the civil service law, but
not when he works . for it, as the
Michigan federal office-holders re
cently did. _
v Nobody need be alarmed about
what the St Louis convention will
do. The republican party has never
dodged a responsibility and it will
not begin now, when every body is
looking to the party to bring about
a return of prosperity.
Perhaps if that cowboy who tried
to make one of Gotham’s “cops"
drink chiunpagne at the point of a
gun, on a public street corner, had
used a growler and beckoned the
“cop” into an alley or hallway the
result might have been different.
Congressman Draper, of Massa
chusets, was more than half right
when he said: “Protection is more
necessary to the interests of this
country than any form of money.
With a high protective tariff we
can succeed, although our cnrrency
might take the form of silver or
copper or any other metal. But our
industries cannot prosper with the
best money in the world if we have
free trade.”

bronchitis, pneumonia, and
consumption. Wet feet do
not directly make the germs
of consumption appear in the
lungs; but they do cause
coughs and colds and inflam

this condition the germs of
consumption find just the soil
in which to work.
Scott s Emulsion of Cod

DON’T STOP TOBACCO
HOW TO CURB YOURSBLF WH1LB US
ING IT.
The tobaoco habit grcws on a man un
til his nervous system is seriously affect
ed, impairing health, oomfort and happi
ness. To qnit suddenly is too severe a
shock to the system, as tobaoco, to an in
veterate user, beooraes a stimulant that
his system continually craves. “Baco
Curo” is a scientific cure for the tobacco
hubit, in all its forms, carefully com
pounded after the formula of an eminent
Berlin physician who has used it in his
private practice since 1872, without a
failure.- It is purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use
all the tobaoco you want while taking
“Baoo-Ouro.” It will notify you when to
stop. We . give a written guarantee to
cure permanently any case with three
boxes, or refund the money with 10 per
cent, interest. “Baoo-Curo” is not a
substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures
without the aid of will powor and with no
inconveaienoe. It leaves the system as
pure and free from nicotine as the day
you took your first chew or smoke.

Eureka Chemical & Mfg. Co., La Crosse
Wis.—Gentlemen: For forty years I
used tobacco in all its forms. For 26
years of that time I was a great sufferer
from general deoility and heart disease.
For fifteen years I tried to quit, but
couldn’t. 1 took various remedies,
among others “No-To-Bac,” “The Indian
Tobacco Antidote,’’ “Double Chloride of
Gold,” etc., etc., but none of them did me
the least bit of good. Finally, however,
I purohrsed a box of your “Baoo-Curo”
and it has entirely cured me of the habit
in all Its forms, and I have increased 30
pOuuds in weight and am relieved from
all the numerous aches and pains of
body and mind. I could write a quire of
paper upon my changed feeling and con
dition. Yours respectfully,

Tb* boys of the press who op

Tom Majors two years ago are an
inconsistent lot of fellows to say the
least. They point with pride to the
fact that Majors received a larger
'*i vote than was received by any re
. publican candidate for governor for
‘ years, yet they intimate that Mac
Coll and his friends rather felt for
his ribs with the knife of disap

pared with the vote received by other
