Miss Tillie Gallagher, sister of Martin Gallagher, who resides about four miles north of this city, died in Omaha Mon day. The remains were brought to this city Tuesday evening and were interred in the Catholic cemetery this morning. The deceased was about 22 years ot age. An exchange says: "If an editor were to snap all inducements held out he would soon become a millionaire. If he published a paper according to the pop ular notion he would be in a poor bouse. If he published all the items sent to him he would be in a jail half the time and in a hospital the other half.” The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “Two years ago Nebraska was suffering from a long drouth and the legislature appro priated $150,000 for the relief of farm ers, and there were prophets who fore told of the ruin of Nebraska- This year she reports her crop of corn alone at 350,000,000 bushels. Nebraska is liable to disasters, but it is a great state.” Mrs. Sanford Parker left yesterday morning for Spencer, from which place she and Mr. Parker intended to go to Dakota to visit her father, who is dan gerously ill, Being unable to get across the country from Spencer they returned to this city last night and took the train for Ainsworth, from which place they will drive across the country fifty mites. __ A telegram was received last Sunday evening announcing the death of Mis.

His face expressed bis embarrasment as be hoarsely whispered, "I guess I hky'nt a cent, I changed my pants.” The yoking lady who had been examining the Jta-. known regions of a woman’s dress for her purse, turned a pink color andeaid, “I’m in the same fix.”—Galesburg Eve*' ning Mail. , Jj.

Immediately upon his arrival the rest of the party will be selected and they will proceed to the west side of the district and commence work upon the reservoir sight.' Let the' good work go ont Jt can.b,e cpmpleted. none too soon to suit the farmers of this section. John Gallagher, of Laurel, Neb., died at that place yesterday morning at 4 o’clock, and was brought to this city on the Short Line last night, the remains being interred in the Catholic cemetery this morning. Deceased was an old Holt county settler, and for about eight years resided on a farm near Parker. About two years ago he moved to Laurel. He was 70 years old. J. P’. Gallagher, E. J. Gallagher, T. H. McDonald, J. W. McDevitt, A. E. Maun and G. I. Pat rick, of Laurel, accompanied the re mains to this city, returning home this morning. The progressive ladies of Westfield, Ind., issued a “Woman’s Edition" of the Westfield News, bearing date of April S, 1896. The paper is filled with matter of interest to women, and we notice the following from a correspondent, which the editors printed, realizing that it treats upon a matter of vital importance to their sex: "The best remedy for croup, colds and bronchitis that I have been able to find is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For family use it has no equal. I gladly recommend it." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by P. O. Corrigan. We guarrantee this to be the best Cough Syrup manufactured in the whole wide world. This is saying a great deal, but it is true. For consumption, coughs, colds, sore throat, sore chest,pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, croup, whooping cough, and all diseases of the throat and luugs, we positively guarantee Ballard’s Horehound Syrup to be without an equal on the whole face of the globe. In support of this statement we refer to every individual who has ever used it, and to every druggist who has ever sold it. Such evidence is indisputable. Price 25 and 00 cents. Free sample boitles at P. C. Corrigan’s. What threatened to be a disastrous Are started in the home of O. W. Smith over the Short Line depot, last Saturday evening. It is supposed that the chil dren, while playing in the sitting room, in some manner set fire to a lounge. Ur. Smith was down in the office and when he got up stairs the lounge was on fire and threatened the building. Mrs. Smith and the baby, about a week old, were in bed, and and he at once took them down to a place of safety and then went upstairs and carried the lounge out. In carrying the lounge down both of his hands were badly burned. He is now under the.care of Dr. Oilligan, and is doing nicely, ' but it will be several weeks before he will be able to attend to his duties in the office. Had it not been for his prompt action the chances are that the depot would now be in uhes. COMMUNICATED. O’Nbill, Nbb., Jan. 34,1837. Ed. Frontier:—I think it wm ASsop who anid. “When roguea fall ont honeat people get their own just rlghta." An other old and ever true adage la: “Be tween two atooia we fall to the ground.'1 And atill another: “We are ground be tween the upper and nether grindatone." There la now a war in the ao-called re former*' camp; whether the taxpayer* will be benefltted or not is for the future I to tell. Holt county haa fallen between two yea three, atooia (Dem., Rep. and | Pop.) and haa been ground very fine at times between two atonea. The grlal | has been grinding for nearly twenty years but the taillnga and atealinga are aeemtngly, yet, as good as ever. The democrats and republicans have been re tired to a back corner to make room lot the angelic humanitarians or peoples' own good and true pops, who own a corner on all the virtues of Adam'a race without any of the vices, who are now fleecing the commonwealth to the old tune. Will the taxpayers ever open their eyes to the systematic way theae tadpole statesmen are gulling them 7 See the lesaon taught in the huge growl of chief gunner Kautsman in last week’a Beacon Light, because he couldn’t bag the whole game of this season’s forray himself. Listen to the pathetic song of distress he sings because his former partner in the business of reform, Treas urer Mullen, gave to another robber booty which, according to the rules of spoilsmen, belonged to him. But he balms bis wounded and jaded soul with the deilant statement that he got paid full price for the doing of this very ,work (publishing treasurer’s atatement) which he boasts he never did at all. He aays Treasurer Mullen gave the work, for which he, Kautsman, was paid but .didn’t do, to another unmentioned re former (“a local printer,’’ he calla him,) who charged double as much for print ing it as he charged for not printing it. And, to cap the climax, he says our county board, of reformers, gathered the whole brood of ill-fledged goslings beneath the protecting shelter of their paternal and official wings, and allowed the bills. Great party I Glorious re slyrmersl Honest publishers! The su pervisors are cooking the the taxpayers best goose—dollars from 10-cent corn— by taking chickens from this infernal robbers’ brood and dubbing them honest populistic web-footed water fowl.

PARTIAL IRRIGATION. To make a success of irrigation it by no means follows that water should be available for a whole farm. With ten acres of assured crops and the rest de pendent upon rainfall, the farmer, no matter what hia location, will be better off than he is now. The future will un-’ doubtedly see irrigation spread all over the east. When it does, regular crops and certainty of income will be the or der. Skilful irrigators will then con clude that the cost is not ao important an item when benefits are considered. The first to try will get the usufruct from good prices in timea of partial crop fail ure, though they may get the laugh when rain la plenty.—Albert G. Ivans, in February Lippincott’s. W. D.

Hamlin Garland la McClure’s Maga slne for January: His page of demerits shows scarcely a single mark for any real offense against good conduct. They are mainly "latea” and negligences. He was “late at church,” “late at parade,” "late at drill.” He was a growing boy, and a little sluggish of a morning, no doubt. Onoe he sat down on his post between live and sis in the morning; for this he received eight demerits. Twice in his second year as squad marcher he failed to report delinquencies In others and received live demerits each time. His amiability led to this. Onee he spoke disrespectfully to his superior officer on parade. The provocation must have been very great to have led to this. The probabilities are the officer waa mistaken. When we were publishing e paper in 1872 in Mt. Vernon, 111., the senior pro prietor of e new store in town came into the office and contracted for three columns of space for one year, with lo cals for each issue and 2,6000 dodgers each week. He remarked that it was a snap to get into a town where the busi ness men did not advertise. This fine started on borrowed money. In lese than three years it had money enough to start two stores, one in Sedalia and one in ''St. Louis. Byron Nugent was the man who made the contract, and he is now the senior member of B. Nugent ft Bro., the great St. Louis house. He not only owns the store, building and ground, but is now erecting a modest little cottage home which costa him $87,000. We must add that some of the old mossbacke who were in business in Mt. Vernon before Byron Nugent eyer saw the place, are still grumbling about dull trade and hard times.—Poplar Bluffs (Mo.)
