Hughes, who has traveled all oyer that part of the world. It is copiously ill ustrated with several full-page and many other smaller pictures. Do you know there are men selling groceries who don’t know a Mocha and Java coffee, from a cheap Santos or Rio, yet they have the supreme gall to palm it off on the public and call it Mocha and Java, but when put in the cup the fraud is uncovered. Buy only our old Govern* ment Java and Mocha. 19-1 O’Nkill Grocery Co We learn that Peter Ryan, who lives two miles east of Inman, lost thirty-five head of steers last week, and the general supposition is that smut killed them. Several head are yet affected, and the loss to Mr. Ryan will reach nearly $1,000. The stock men of this county should be on the alert for smut on the corn stalks on which their cattle feed, or the total loss throughout the county may be enormous. A Kansas editor offers a silk shirt waist, a ready made essay and a box of gum to the high school girl who first sends a correct solution to the following problem: A man purchased groceries to the amount of thirty-four cents. When he came to pay for the goods, he had only a one dollar bill, three cent piece and a two cent piece. The storekeeper had a half dollar and a quarter. They appealed to a bystander, but he had only two dimes and a penny. After some perplexity the change was made to the satisfaction of ail.—Ex. Valentine Gerber and C. B.

His dental office will be open Nov. 18 to 35. Charles W. Irish, of the United 8tates1 agricultural department, who has been engaged in irrigation work for a num ber of years recently made a tour of in vestigation in Nebraska. The inquiry was mainly directed to the feasibility of growing afalfa in that country without irrigation. An examination was made of the soil, subsoil and water with that end in view and Mr. Irish is thoroughly convinced that alfalfa may be grown there. Mr. Irish says that the best land for such purpose is the high talble land on the divide between the Elkhorn and Niobrara rivers and more particulary the rolling and rough land. He says care should be taken to have the ground well prepared by plowing deep, harrowing well and plant not less than twenty pounds to the acre. The seed should be planted not exceeding one inch in depth and covered by brush harrow* The best soil for the purpose is gravel and sand and permanent water not leig than fifteen and not more than fifty feet in depth. lie advises no planting where water water is less than ten feet from | the surface.—Irrigation Farmer. fHI FBORTIEB BXPOBTXB WOULD LlKI TO IBB The people atop talking politica and allow the aore apota to heal.

That there ia aomething radically wrong when the poetofflee department aboliahea the routea between thia point and Doraey, Butte, Spencer and Lynch, and gives the same to towns (?) like Orchard and Stuart, there can be no doubt. Wake up, you slumbering heroes and ang repain your lost ground.

A subordinate lodge of the Business Men’s Fraternity was organized in O’Neill Friday night, last. The su preme lodge was organized in Omaha last April and Nebraska cities and towns are taking hold of the movement with a vim which pressages much good tor our state at large and communltiss in gen eral, the coming year. The objects of the organization are to advance the general Interests of the state and protect its business and commercial interests. An organization of this na ture has long been demanded and Teb Frontier is pleased to see the efforts of some of onr foremost citizens finally crystalizing into something practical and systematic. As our country is now entering upon an era of prosperity, Nebraska should be in time to receive her share. With our business interests fully organized, systematic work can be accomplished and much good will cer tainly result. O’Neill, which is always at the front is one of the first cities to organice a subordinate lodge, and can be counted on to do her share. As an auxiliary to the business feature, there is an insurance connected with the fraternity, which acts to hold the order together and at the same time pro vide aid and protection to the member in old age, or to his family after he has passed away. This insurance, aside from its cheapness, has accident and disability features, which make it more desirable than that furnished by any other insurance written either by old line companies or beniflciary societies. The organization is non-sectarian and non-political and starts out here with a membership of 36, which will be increased to over 40 at the next meeting. The officers of the O’Neill lodge are: Fast-president, Clarence Selah; presi dent, O. O. Snyder; vice-president. Ed F. Gallagher; secretary, D. H. Cronin; treasurer, John P. Mann; stewards, J. P. Gilligan and Neil Brennan; commit tee on insurance, B. J. Ryan, T. F. Birmingham, J. P. Mann; committee on by-laws, Thos. Morris, O. F. Biglin, B. F. Trueblood. The next meeting of the O'Neill lodge will occur next Monday evening. MB. BIBO BXXABXS. Kautzman’s red rag came out last week with an abusive personal attack upon Clyde King, formerly associate editor of The Frontier, accusing him of haying written an editorial for this paper criti cising Mr. Kautzman. Mr. King called in at our office last week, and his attention was called to the article, and was asked if he wanted to say anything in reply. He said it was a matter of indifference to him what Kautzman thought about the author ship of the article in question; that the article was all right, no matter who wrote it, and that Kautzman simply held his white old liver up to public gaze in his attempt to deny the purpose of his “old lady story." “I notice," continued Mr. King, “that he says he recognises the author on account of his ‘worn out and borrowed phrases.' Just ask him for me if he doesn’t know that there is nothing new under the sun. Alexander Pope once remarked that the best we can do is to ‘steal wisely,’ and Pope was accused by learned men of his day of knowing a thing or two himeelf, notwithstanding he lived and died in a world deprived of the intellectual illumination that Kautz man haa since shed upon it. This man Kautsmaa makes me very weary. He has an inek'haustable vein of vulgarity that he mistakes for wit, and a penchant for disseminating scandal that he thinks issmart. He struts about in the great ness of his physical development— which, by the way, might have taken 'place to the detriment of his mental advancement, as is often the case—and think! when he has found a man of sligbt stature and told him of it In pub lic print, he has placed upon him a stig matlc deadfall that ought to crush him, even If it doesn’t. An author of some note once said, in speaking of short men, that, no man is really small unless he thinks himself so,’ and I assure the Jew that I feel big enough to make up I for any deficiency that I may have in either length or breadth, and am pre pared to uphold (without quotation marks) (he dignity of my littleness under the very nose of this enormous engrosser of manhood, this hyperbolical monster of the species, Mr. Kautxman.
