lucid reasons for so doing.
Sumner Adams was in from 8pencer

car load of harvesters for his Boyd
county trade. He says that Boyd county
is one grand farm tbirf year and that the
yield will be immense. Mr. Adams
brought over a few stalks of corn that
measure in the neighborhood of six feet.
An exchange puls it thusly: When
you talk about there being a better
state than Nebraska, every potato winks
its eyes, every cabbage shakes its head,'
every beet gets red in the face, every
onion is' strong, every oat Held is
shocked, tbe rye strokes its beard, the
corn pricks up its ears, and every foot
of ground kicks.
The Boaton Comic Opera Company
played “The Mascot” at the opera hotiae
last Monday night to a comparatively
■lim house. The company carries eight
een people and several -of them are
artists. The company is the beat that
has played in O’Neill for years and those
of our people who missed it have some
thing to be sorry for.
Miss Myrtle DeYarman returned Tues
day from a two weeks’ visit at Black
Bird. A surprise party was given in
honor of her Tuesday evening at which
about twenty of her young friends were
present. Refreshments, consisting of
ice cream, cake and watermelon were
served. The occasion was fraught with
much pleasure to those who were fortu
nate enough to be present.
Leigh World: Clyde King, the brainy
young editor of the O’Neill Frontier,
poked the thoru into the machine's side
in artistic style last week. A tew Holt
county “republicans” have made them
selves notorious for their dirty work in
the past and King strikes the right cord
when he says "the best way to assist
republicanism is to do a little house
cleaning.” Touch them tenderly again,
Clyde. _________
Ralph Evans, Steve O'Donnell, Rafe
King and Harry Dowling while doing a
little fast time at the fair grounds last
Tuesday evening on their, wheels got
tangled up somewhat and in consequence
are now wrapped in winding sheets of
court plaster, with the exception of Mr.
Dotfling, who went unscathed. The
boys sustained no serious injuries but
they are devoid of much skin in places
where skin ought to grow.
Treasurer Mullen, Cleric Bethea, and
Supervisors Blondin, Mack, Stillwell,
Combes, Hopkins, Moore and Moss went

appear in the United States court and
show cause why mandamus should not
issue compelling them to pay the judg
ment against Holt county secured by the
National Life Insurance Company for
14,986.98. They returned Mondav night,
the case being submitted. .
Dominick McCalfery arrived in the
city Saturday night and is now visiting
at the ranch of his brother, Joe, on Dry
Creek. Dominick, our readers will re
member, is a gentlemanly prize fighter
who at one time stood at the head of the
list with the big boys. He has not been
much in evidence during the last few
years on account of failing health, but
hopes to recuperate in Holt countf, and
Thk Frostier hopes that he may.
, John Hazelett returned Saturday night
from a four monthstour through the west
in the interests of his wholesale jewelry
house. He visited the states of Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Wyoming and the Dakotas. At
Butte, Montana, he met a number of
former O’Neill oeople, among them
being Dick Dwyer and Phil Sullivan.
He says they all have lucrative positions
nnd are prospering. He also met* 'Gene
Norton in Idaho. ’Gene is working in
the mines, and judging from the photo
graph that Mr. Hazelett brought back J
the world has gone well with him.
The meanest man reported to date
lives in a neighboring town, aaye the
Shelton Clipper. He ia aaid to be con
tinually making fun of hia wife’a love
for houae plants, and often grumbles
oyer the extra care and expense of keep
ing them from freezing over winter.
The other day he surprised her by bring
ing home and presenting her with what
he called a Chinese cactus. It was in
reality a dead rat which the man had
planted head downward in a flower-pot.
The tail of the rat alone appeared above
the ground, and was carefully trained to
a wooden support. The man’s wife was
delighted with the rare plant. 8he placed
It in a sunny nook and caretully watered
and watched it. But nary a bud ap
peared. The denouement came when the
lady undertook to transplant the ‘'cac
tus” to a large pot.
North Bead Republican: The Chicago
Lumber Company hu sold its yard at

whether he will remain in town' or not,
haring been offered a position in an
other place. _
W. T. Willis and wife were oyer from
Butte Monday, returning Tuesday. Tan
Frontier acknowledges a pleasant call
from Mr. Willis, who, by the way, is a
candidate for the republican nomination
for representatire in bis district—com
posed of Knox and Boyd Counties-*
and thinks he will be succeuful. Mr.
Willis would be a credit to his district
if sent to the legislature. *
Walt Mason: Although we have been,
for more than a year, advising people to
uee Nebraska chicory, it was only re
cently that we tried the stuff ourselves.
We were going to drive to Wymore, and
before leaving Beatrice called at a gro
cery store to get some smoking tobacco;
seeing some handsome red packages be
hind the counter, we threw down a
nickel with all that princely abandon
for which some people are celebrated,
and the clerk handed over one of the
packages. We supposed that it was a
I new brand of smoking tobacco. After
driving about .five miles .on the way to
Wymore we drew forth our family pipe
and the red package, and proceeded to
fill the former. When we tore off the
end of the wrapper on the package, we
thought the contents the jlmtwistedest
tobacco we ever saw; It didn't look or
amell like tobacco, but we filled the pipe
with it and tried to smoke. The taste
of that blamed stuff is with us as we
j write; it will haunt us when we die; It
will make us roll over in the grave.
Chicory is all right to mix with your
! coffee, but it’s the worst substitute for
tobacco in the country.
State Journal: It is a matter of sur
prise that the universality of the bicycle
has not produced an extensive vernacu
lar. As a matter of fact, the “slang”
expressions in general use are but few.
“Bike” is simply an-abominable abbre
viation of bicycle. Cyclist is a legiti
mate and comprehensive word, that is
shorter than wheelman, or wheelwonUm.
In France the latter is called a “blcy
clienne." In far away New Zealand the
awful word “cyclodonna” has been
coined as a substitute for wheel woman.
In many western towns the fair rider is
called a "bloomer" without regard to
her costume. Hie word “scorcher.” as
indicating a speedy cyclist, is fairly en
grafted upon the language. In Chicago,
however the "scorcher” Is called a
“scoot.” The technicalities of the ma
chine have led to attempts upon the part
of young men to coin expressions.
“Your tire is punctured” indicates that
the story you are telling lacks the prob
able element of truth. Beckless state
menu are\called “coasting.” A very
anoient yarn is not a “chestnut” but a
“century.” A young couple sharing a
mutual fondness are "riding tandem.”
A man leading a fast life is “geared too
high.” An old fogy is referred to as a
“high wheel.” A chaperon is known as
a "peacemaker.” A cheap bicycle is
called a “gaspipe” machine. A profes
sional racer is a “pro.”
SHUT-WAIST!.
The newest shirt-waists are tucked
across the fronts the depth of a yoke,
and have a corresponding number of
tucks running around the tops of the
sleeves in a direct line from those in the
yoke; and a very novel one has the
whole sleeve tuckei upside down in
half-inch tucks, every tuck falling out
slightly, from its own weight. There is
a new lining called ribbon-cloth, which
has a pretty gloss, and comes in all the
delicate colors and is very suitable for
using under organdies and lawns, when
taffeta Is too expensive.
The blouse fronts and puffed sleeve
tops of organdy and lawn gowns are
given a novel effect by Insertions of lace
run in diamond form all oyer them. It
requires dainty fingers and patience to
do the work, but the effect is so pretty
and unique that it pays.—From“Revlew
of Faehions,” in Demorest’s Magaslne
for July.
