TEACHIBS, DOK’T TAIL!! 1 To ca>l upon Berihiaer & Gilligan and ate their new line of tablets and school supplies. The prices are right. “Kid” and Jim Gabriel, who are mak ing a long distance ride of 8500 miles, arrived in O'Neill Saturday evening from the west, and started east on their way to Chicago Monday afternoon. The boys left Sheridan, Wyo., on the 8rat day of June, on a couple of wild horses they had selected and caught out of a herd of several hundred, and went to Miles City, Mont., then north into the Northwest Territory 150 miles north of Montana, and back by way of the Black Hills and Chadron to O’Neill on their wav to Chicago, where they are to arrive not later than Sept. 1. They are riding under a contract, made with the American Horsemen, of Chicago, to cover the 2500 miles in three months, on western bred horses, the horses to baye no other food during the trip than what grass they can graze on a fifty foot lariet rope. The object of the trip is to show the endurance of the western horses and their ability to make long hard trips without grain, in connection with an attempt that is being made to intro duce them into the European cavalry. The horses were in good shape and spirit, and will easily cover the remain ing distance in the required time. “Well my eon,” laid the editor of the Danville Breeze to hie eon, who wanted awheel, “you’ll And one on the front end of that wheelbarrow, and there la a big pile of coal of coal aehea back of the house that will hare to be moved. The handle hare are of white ash and are adjustable, so you can get any style of hump on that auita your fancy. It is regulated largely by the load you put on. The bigger the load the more yon have to hump yourself. Be careful and don't mar the enamel on the frame, and keep the ball barings well oiled so they won’t cut into the cones. The tire is absolutely punctureless, so you won’t have to take a pump and repair kit with you. By the time you have removed that pile of ashes. I think you will have made a century run—also the perspira tion. You’d better come in to dinner now. The populiat caucus wu held at the court-house last Saturday afternoon and It was aa good ae a citcui to thoae who attended, eome laying that aa an am mo ment maker it equaled the Barnum ft Bailey abow. The ring element waa in full control and had the ticket aelected before the meeting waa called to order. The fight waa Hopkina or no Hopklna, and the Hopkina men carried the day and aelected every one of the delegate!, who with poaaibly three exception!, are not tax payera. The action of the cau cua, in aelecting the "kids" aa delegataa, angered auch heavy taxpayera and old time popullata aa Michael Coetello, Patrick Hughea, Jerry Kelley, et. al., to auch an extent that they got up and walked out, declaring their intention to fight the ring eandidate to a flnlah. The number who walked out ia eati mated between 88 and 80 and were the heavieat taxpayera in the dlatriet. From president Indication! the populiat party ia doomed to an early death in Holt county. _ Judge Klnkaid returned a few day a ago from hia trip weat, having been out of the atate about twenty-five daya. Moat of thia time waa apent with hia alater and nepbewa and nieces, which viait, together with a brief real, waa the aole object in view. The rumor that he had gone to the Klondyke had no foun dation, in fact that excitement had nqt ariaen until after hia departure. Two of the countiea of which the judge baa aole charge this year had unuaually large docketa, containing aeveral caaea of unuaual importance, ao that hia work thus far thia year haa been heavy, and promisee to continue ao throughout the year. He returns to be in readiness for the disposition of an important case to be submitted qnd decided at Chambers in a few days, and to try some other important casea, by mutual agreement of parties, before the fall term con venes. The judge deferred the date of starting west two weeks later than had been arranged in order to dispose of every single case ready for diapoaitlon before going, and as a consequence he haa hia work all up to date. Fall has come unusually early thla year: ao early, in faot, aa to excite con? aiderable comment aa to the cauae. At flrat we did not pay much attention to it, but aa the cold increaaed and we begun to wonder bow we were going to get a new overcoat and half a ton of coal, it auddenly dawned on ua that thia queation had never before bothered na ao early in the aeaaon, and we immedi ately aet our maaaive brain to work in an effort to aolve the problem, and we think that we have reached the true aolution: Up in the Klondyke region it haa been, heretofore, very cold and aparaely aettled, but in the last month there haa been a great ruah of people in there to work the minea. Now the heat ariaing from a large crowd of men hard at work breaking up nuggeta of gold into portable aize for carrying, added to the heat thrown out by the immence camp Area they have to keep constantly burning in order to keep enough melted air on hand for breath ing purposes, would naturally tend to raise the temperature a trifle, and the cold which is thus forced out haa been attracted down here thinking to get the contract of freezing out all opposition on the part of the people to the ring rule in the pop party—but it was to late, the court-house “gang” had taken the contract, and are carrying it out. This, we think, is the true aolution of the queation. But we do not think there is any occasion for uneasiness. The fel lows up in Alaaka will get starved out and come rushing back to Nebraska to get something to eat, and the republi can party will make it ao hot here this fall that the populist party will melt away like their advocacy of reform did when they got into office.
