D. H. CRONIN, Editor.
If any evidence of foul play is
discovered in the sinking of the
Maine fur will fly shortly.
Thi country, editor who offers a
8column quarto for 50 cents a year
ought to be examined by an insane
oommiaaion. We have spent a few
. fears in the newspaper business and
” it seems to us that an editor who
does this will either land in the
poor-house or the insane asylum.
Tax Kearney Hub is very pros
perous these days, being assisted on
the road to prosperity by the sheriff
of Buffalo county who continues to
hand in sheriff sales. For the past
four years it has manfully and, fear
lessly fought the battles of republi-1
eanism in that pop-burdened, poooty,
and last fall they were winners and
the Hub is deserving of all the
patronage it gets.
!> The Frontier has uotbing against
the gentleman the county board em
ployed to assist the delinquent tax
committee further than that he, is
not a resident of this county. He
is competent to perform the duties
but so are several others who are
residents and it is our .belief that
home people be given preference
over outsiders oh all occasions when
it is possible to do so.
The O’Neill Frontier has struck
the. proper gait If a notice—
church or others?ise—is. printed in
its.oajumns it must be;,paid for.
Editor Oronin figures it out that if
it is worth printing it is worth pay
ing for, and aptly remarks that the
• people who ask lor free notices
would never think of asking a gro
cer for a quarter’s worth of sugar
free. However, the Times is still
printing the notices free—bring
them along,—Fender, Times.
I* skims rather peculiar that the
Holt county supervisors could not
find a man in Holt connty. capable
of assisting them in looking up
delinquent taxes. We believe there
are dozens of citizens and taxpayers
of this county who are as compe
tent to perform this yiotk. as is the
gentleman from Douglas county
whom they employed, and if there
are, why did the board not employ
them? Perhaps some of these
. reform statesmen can answer.

provided that populists with demo

Bryan to reach the gosh,

CRIE8 OP MURDBR
ItMtU the Onesta. Who Ruih to the SoMe
of Slaughter.
The startling cry of “murder" rang
out from a room on the third floor of
a Fourteenth-street hotel the other
evening, and, catching the ears of
several chambermaids, created Instant
consternation. “Oh, Heavens! Let
up on me! Don’t kill me by inchest"
were the agonized ories that followed
each other at short intervals.
It was the voice of a man. Besides
the chambermaids, the blood-curdling
words alarmed all the guests on the
floor, and in loss time than It takes to
tell a knot of intensely excited people
had collected in the corridor, all talk
ing, all gesticulating and all afraid to
go near the room whence the ories had
come.
“Who occupies the roomP” said
half a dozen women in chorus.
One of the chambermaids recollected:
having seen a small man, pale and
emaciated in appearance, accompanied
by a tall, closely-veiled woman, enter
in the afternoon.
The woman was surely killing her
male companion. She seemed to be
submitting him to some sort of cruel
torture, for muffled moans were dis
tinctly heard now by one or two in the
crowd.
Finally, a clerk oame ruiAtlng up
from the office. The Intelligence of
“the murder" had been carried down
in breathless haste. He knocked at
the door violently, excitedly.
“In the name of the law, ppen, the
dnnw ha d ora si' /lail
After some little delay the door was
opened. A woman smiling, but with
a look of astonishment peeped out
and asked what was, wanted.
“What's going on hereP Who's
being hurt?”
For a moment the woman looked
embarrassed. Then she broke out into
a peal of laughter, which was echoed
by the voice of a man within.
“What's all this about?" again asked
the clerk angrily.
“Why, sir." she stammered demure
ly. “I—I was pulling a porous plaster
off my husband’s back. ”—N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser.
EQUINOCTIAL STORMS A MYTH. ;
Sergt. Frsnkeofleld Search** the Record*
bat Find* No Anthorltle*.
Mr. Franken field of the weather bu
reau is bo» a firm believer in the equi
nox as having a direct influence on the
weather. He was rather lnollned to l
treat the subject lightly, for he deems
it merely an aged superstition.
“It is a time-honored habit,” said
he, ••to call any storm that happens to
come within two or three weeks of
that time the equinoctial storm. But I
believe our modern writers on meteor
ology do not give the matter any spe
cial attention. It belongs more prop
erly to astronomy than to our depart
ment Still I’ll look it up a little."
Hp went to the book shelves and be
gan looking over the standard meteor
ological works. Buchan, Kaentz and
Loomis were taken down and their in
dices thoroughly oxamlnod, but noth
ing about the equinoxes oould be
found. “This," said Mr. Frankenfield,
taking down a larger work on the sub
ject, "is Ferrel, the latest work on tho
subject. It is considered very scien
tific.” But a careful investigation
seemed to strengthen the idea that the
oqulnootial storm has no place in
science.
"We’ll go baok to some of the older
fellows." he continued. • 'Perhaps they
will have something to say about it
Here’s ‘Piddington's Sailor's Horn
book.’ published in 1869." There was
a record of oyolones for the last 800
years, but nothing about equinoxes.
Then Danlell of 1846 was tried with no
better result
“There is only one more chance. ’’
he remarked as he took out an old
bruised, calf-bound volume. “Here is
our oldest work. It is by John Pointer
and was printed in 1788. If there is
nothing in here we shall have to give
it up.”
The pages were yellow with age and
the letters were old-fashioned. but they
betrayed no seorets about the equlnoo
tlal storms and it seemed necessary to
consign them to the realm of legenda
ry mythology—Chicago Hews.
Forgetful Batm
Shelley could not understand why
people wanted more than plain bread.
Be was so careless about his meals
that he did himsell serious injury
When, during his London walkg he
felt hungry, he would buy a loaf at
the nearest baker’a tuck it under his
arm and eat it as he went along, pro
bably reading a book and dodging the
passers-by at the same time. Mrs.
Shelley often sent food to his study,
whioh. in his abstraction, he forgot;
and then oomtng out from the room
he would lnnooently ask, ‘ Mary, have
I dined?” This remluds one of the
preocoupatlon of Sir Isaac Newton,
who is said not always to have remem
bered whether he had dined or not;
and of the practical joke once played
by a friend, who ate the philosopher's
dinner, a chloken, which was waiting
for him, and then, leaving the bones
on his plate, he was amused at the
unconsciousness of Newton, when he
oame into the room, that he had not
dined.—National Review.
A megger Syndicate.
There is a perfectly organized syn
dicate in Paris whioh busies Itself in
recuitlng from every part of France,
and especially from the poor quarters
of the capital, beggars of both sexes,
who are sent to the large cities of
America where beggars are supposed
not to be numerous. The beggars re
ceive a good sum of money when they
learve France, pay their passage over
themselves, and in this way deceive
the Barge offloe authorities in New
York. Many French beggars are told
to dress up as deserters from the Bel
gian army. No one knows why this
peculiar order is given. The beggars
nave to give £5 francs a day to the
syndicate in return for their outfit.—*

“Just as

cheaper," Is a statement sometimes
made by the druggist when Scott’s
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselvcstegard
Scott's
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites of Lime and Soda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the “standard”
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
fusing some untried prepa
ration* The substitution
of something said to he
“just as good” for a stand

should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.
