The beautiful balmy weather of
the past week emphasizes the fact
that we are living in the banana belt
of the northwest.
Dame Nature has tackled the coal
trust in elegant style, by tempering
her winds to meet the conditions of
the pocketbooks of the people.
Gusa continues to get plenty of
sympathy, which is probably appre
ciated in the same ratio as the man
with a big boil receives condolence
from his friends.
The Ord Quiz makes special men
tion of itself in having enlarged
from a G-column quarto to a 5-col
umn quarto. Quiz is evidently
struggling for admittance to the
ranks of funny papers.

The large cities are vising with
each other to see which can dig up
the most official corruption in mun
icipal affairs or in the management
of the late campaign. It is not
known what the net results will
amount to.
Otto Wasmansdobfo, one of the
Chicago busted bankers, committed
suicide Sunday morning by shooting
himself with a revolver. Whether
it was remorse at failure in banking
or beoause of AItgeld and repudia
tion, is unknown.
Christmas was a favorite theme
with the newspaper boys all over
the country, who toiled to get out
the best paper in their district while
their readers were generally doing
nothing except lay plans for the en
joyment of the holiday.
As will bo seen from an article in
another column, taken from tho
Sioux City Times, there is at least a
prospect that O’Neill people will see
an early extension of the Pacific
Short Line. When the papers con
taining the article were read here
Tuesday our people loaded up with
considerable enthusiasm and rail
road talk was the main topio of con
versation during the day. It is to
be hoped that. Mr. McLean is cor
rect in his statements and that the
article was not the Christmas dream
of some turkey-burdened reporter.
Whenever the Short Line from
O’Neill westward is an established
fact then will this city boom and
grow and assume its proper place as
. the industrial and commercial me
tropolis of the north half of Ne
■ braska.
Nkbhasxa as a whole is justly
proud of the efforts now being put
forth in behalf of the Trans-Missis
■ sippi Exposition to be held at Oma
ha in 1898. The work of organiza
tion has been completed and per
fected, congress has pledged a hand
some government display to the
amount of $200,000, the capital
stock is being rapidly subscribed for,
different states are making appro
priations commensurate to the char
acter of the exposition, and it now
remains for the Nebraska legislature
to make a handsome appropriation
to help represent our great and va
tied industries, and the success of
the show will be assured. What
the World’s fair was to Chioago the
Trans-Mississippi Exposition will be
• ;<!.to Omaha and Nebraska. A glance
at the personnel of the men at the
> head of the enterprise alone guaran
tees its success, especially the de
partment of publicity and promo
. ties, which is presided over by Hon.
' XL Rosewater, of the Bee. The sue
oesB of the Omaha Bee is a striking
example of the ability of Mr. Bose
water in this direction, which alone
would insure the success of any en
terprise with which he is associated
SC
TO THE PUBLIC.
It has been some time since Ne*
braska has been in a position to
stand up as a “promised land” to
the settler and homeseekdr, owing
to crop disasters and consequent de
pression of business, but again nas
prosperity smiled upon us and boun
teous crops and well filled granaries
testify to the prolific and unlimited
resources of the greatest agricultural
state in the union. The eyes of the
homeseeker will again turn toward
Nebraska as offering plmost bound
less inducements to the agriculturist
and stock grower, containing as it
does today by far the larger portion
of cheap lands in the union left open
to settlement by purchase or home
stead. With the coming of the
springtime the state is bound to re
ceive a large influx of immigrants
from the crowded farming districts
of the east, and The Frontier be
lieves that now is the proper time to
scatter broadcast the numerous ad
vantages and inducements which
Holt county can offer. With this
object in view we propose to issue a
large edition of The Frontier at
once, which will be replete with up
to-date statistical matter of Nebraska
generally and Holt county particu
larly, giving in detail the numerous
advantages of soil, climate, rainfall,
shipping facilities, historical and bi
ographical matter, the whole to be
splendidly illustrated and forming a
complete compendium of ready ref
erence in a most attractive form.
To do this we will be at a large out
lay of time and expense, but believ
ing that now is the time to “stand
up for Nebraska,” and that The
Frontier shall continue to labor for
the general good of all as the pion
eer of Holt county journalism, we
invite co-operation and assistance
from our citizens to the end that
our special large edition may be a
“hummer” and in every respect
worthy of patronage and carry an
influence which will be felt in the
increase of immigration to this
county.
Scarcely a day passes but the dai
ly press contains one or more re
ports ot suicide or murder commit*
ted caused by the too free use of
cigarettes. The awful curse of in
temperance, opium and other habits
are not to be compared in the same
list with the condition of the cigai
ette fiend. Here in O’Neill there is
a tendency toward this vile habit,
and a number of boys of tender age
are already weaving the coils for
future destruction of their manhood.
The effect is already noticeable in
their deportment and studies at the
publio schools, in bad lessons re
sulting from loss of memory, and
deterioration of the finer sensibili
ties which should characterize the
youth as a forerunner of the useful
man. To see the cigarette exhibi
tions given on the street by mere
slips of boys is simply disgusting,
and in some instances it will be but
a matter of few years until their
ranks will furnish mental wrecks for
the asylum. If there is any law to
prohibit the deadly cigarette it
should be enforced. If not, then
the boys parents should take the
matter in hand by making numerous
applications with the butt end of a
shingle.
It has been some time since Ben
Franklin put in his spare moments
at kite flying, in which he accident
ally got struck by lightning and af
terwards made a good thing out of
it, but kite flying has ever been kept
up as one of the ennobling sports
of youth. Now comes a fairy tale
of an experiment tried on an English
war vessel where the kite was reeled
off with a telephone wiie attached
which was caught by another vessel
at some distance off, the same being
attached to a ’phone and conversa
tion being held between the two
vessels for several hours. To suc
cessfully fly a kite will be an ac
complishment of naval cadets in the
future, and we may expect an era
of kite flying which would make the
Chinese ashamed of themselves in
this art

M. Blossom & Co., 217 N. 3rd St. Louis
writes: I had been left with a very dis
tressing cough, the result of influenza,
which nothing seemed to relieve, until 1
took Ballard’s Horehound Syrup. One
bottle completely cured me. I sent one
bottle to my sister who had a severs
cough, and she experienced immediate
relief. I always recommended this
syrup to my friends.

Ballard’s Horehound Syrup superior to
any other cough medicine I have ever
known. It never disappoints. Price 25

We cell them little men and
little women, but they are
neither. They have ideas and
ways all their own. Fortu
nately they soon become fond
of cod-liver oil, when it is
given to them in the form of
SCOTT'S EMULSION. This
is the most valuable remedy in
existence for all the wasting
diseases of early life. The
poorly nourished, scrofulous
child; the thin, weak, fretting
child; the young child who
does not grow; au take Scott's
Emulsion without force or
bribe. It seems as if they knew
that this meant nourishment
and growth for bones, muscles
and nerves.
