Con sultation fre^_ John Kirwin, of Aspen, Col., is in the city visiting relatives. It is about fifteen years since John left this coun ty Father Time seems to have dealt leniently with him as he looks no older than when he left. The Short Line passenger train which left this city Tuesday, October 18, did not reach Sioux City until Thursday about noon having been snow bound in a cut near Osmond. It reached this city on time Thursday night. The Second Nebraska Volunteer In fantry were mustered out of the service of the United States at* Omaha last Mon day.

B. Blain. The Grand Island Democrat publishes a list of every subscriber who leaves the county forgetting to pay hfe bill before he does so. It is a good thing and if John manages to live a year without being sent to the hospital for repairs we may try it. So call around and settle now. _ Tekamah Herald: Doctor and Mrs. J. P. Gilligan, of O’Neill, came up from Omaha Saturday, where they had been spending the week at the exposition, and visited over Sunday with their sister, Miss 8tella Stoat and brothers. They left for home on the morning train Monday. Valentine Democrat: Norvel Pfunder is learning the “art preservative of all arts,” having entered this office as an ap prentice Monday morning. Norval makes a very good “devil” and with a few more lessons from the editor will soon be able to nse his “em” braces at tjie proper time, and see that plenty of “space” is left between himself and the old man when “shooting irons” are in i evidence. Through service has been established from eastern points to O’Neill on both freight and passenger business via the C. M. & St. P. and 8. C. O N. & W. Ry’s.

In a recent letter received from com pany M, Third Nebraska, we learn that Captain Cross is rapidly recovering from the severe attack of typhoid fever with which he has been laid up for some time and it is now only a question of a few days until he will be around again. Erank Qalbraith, of Albion, Neb., who was deputy collector of revenue for this district during Cleveland’s ad ministration and who is well known in this city and county, had his right arm taken off a little above the wrist by fal ling under a passenger train at Colum bus last week. Instead of bemoaning your luck on account of poor trade plant an attrac tive ad in The Frontier. The pro gressive business man is the one who is a liberal user of printers’ ink. If you want business go after it. Put an ad in the newspapers and tell the people what you have. It will pay. Hank Orady, of this city, a member of company G, Third Nebraska, who has been at his home in this city the past thirty days on a sick furlough has been granted a thirty-day extension fur lough and will not have to report to his company until November 26. He has been quite sick since his arrival here but will be in good shape by the time his extended furlough expires. Tuesday afternoon Fred Plunder brought into this office a copy of the West Side Journal, published at West Side, Iowa, and edited by Frea J. Herre. Fred Herre will be remembered by the old residents of O’Neill as the gentleman who, about ten years ago, ran the Bon Ton barber shop here and led the O’Neill cornet band. His manv friends in O’Neill will be glad to learn that Fred is prospering, O. M. Collins has resigned his position as cashier of the bank at Atkinson and has been succeeded by Fred Swingley who grew weary of the eastern copntry and longed to return to old Holt. Mr. Swingley took cherge of the bank last Monday and Mr. Collins will move back to O'Neill as soon as a suitable residence can be procured. The Frontier will be glad to welcome O. M. back to the best town in the Elkborn valley. The Third Nebraska Volunteers In fantry are now at Savannah, Ga., and expect to leave the lattar part of this week or the first of next for Cuba. It is reported in the daily papers that all members of the regiment home on sick furlough and those sick in the hospital at Jacksonville will be discharged, pro vided the number so incapicitated does not cut the company down below 81 men. They will be discharged before the regiment leaves for Cuba. Seven years ago a Holt county farmer hung his vest on the barnyard fence, a calf chewed up the pocket and swallow ed a gold watch. Last week the animal a staid old milch cow, was butchered for beef and the time piece was found in such a position between the lungs of the cow that the process of respiration the closing in and filling the lungs, kept] the stem-winder woundup and the watch had lost but four min utes and two and half ticks in seven years. _ Atkinson Plain Dealer: A petition was circulated and signed by nearly everybody in this vicinity asking for a parole for John Fanton, this week. As the parole law was placed upon the statutes for prisoners charged with their first crime, Mr. Fanton should certainly be in s position to take advantage of this law. It has been three years since Mr. Fanton was incarcerated and we learn that the warden declares him to be a model prisoner who has all of the good time to his credit. u, xi* iuuviux^, ui nivciunic xtiu., was in the city last week cn his way to Dustin, where he expects to make his future home. Mr. McClurg was former ly a resident of Cleveland township but left there four years ago for the “big red apple” country being lured southward by the fairy tales of land boomers but after arriving there and trying the country four years discovered that the expected paradise .was a myth and has agaia re* turned to old Holt where he says he will now remain.

R. will take charge of the work of sending the Nebraska boys now in Manila and those of the Third regiment Christmas presents from home. He will organize committees at every home j station of the companies with a view to forwarding a Christmas donation to each soldier. The members of the First regiment will be looked after first as they are so far away and goods must be ready for shipment November 1 in order to reach them by Christmas. Mr. Cameron and wife, of Atkinson, were visiting friends in the city Wed nesday. Mr. Cameron was recently dis charged from company M Third Ne braska Volunteers. He has been sick with the malaria fever and when taken down he weighed 1G4 pounds and was one of the strongest men in the company. Three weeks ago when be left the hos pital he only weighed 86 pounds. His | discription of Florida is very interest ing. During the time he was sick bis i temperature reached 106f and he still I lives which he credits to his strong con stitution. When he left a few days ago company M had not lost a man by death. Populists iu Dougl ns county are no feeling very hopeful ns totbe outcome of the electiou and there are several in this county who fee! the same way. Last week a populist from this city was in South Omaha and we piesume told some of the “hoys" how confident he was that Poynter and the whole pop gang would he elected and that he"had coin to back up his statements, hut when one of those present flashed $200 and said he would bet that amount that Hayward would he elected the O'Neill man did somethin? that men from this city don’t generally do when in Omaha* took water, and would not call the bet. Get in the hand wagon, vote for Hayward and the entire ticket. O. O. Snyder, of this city, was elected deputy grand master of the 1. O. O. F., for the state of Nebraska at the state grand lodge held at Omaha last week. This meeting was the largest in point of > attendance ever held in the state and the eleetion of Mr. Snyder to this posi tion places him in line for election to the position of grand master at the next grand lodge. His election to this posi tion is quite an honor as it places him second in command of an organization that has upon its membership rolls the names of 13,000 of Nebraska’s citizeu’s. The Fkontieu congratulates our fellow townsmen upon the honor conferred upon him and can assure the hoys of the three links that they have tnnde no mis take in selecting Mr. Snyder to this position. _ Ladies's Home Journal: Good man ners arc a social obligation and a young man should never make light of them nor pass them over as unworthy of notice. The extreme manners of the fop are silly and unnecessary, but the way a well-bred young man deports himself is always worth a young man's closest study. Good manners mean comfort for others and the recognition of little social rights. which to pass over is to degenerate. Eti quette books cannot instill good manners. One’s deportment comes from within. Few men are born with out an intuitive knowledge of what is wrong or right in deportment, it is simply experience that develops the quality. To he goodmannered generally means to have consideration for women of every rank in life, and that is a quality which young, men cannot pos sess too strongly. TEACHEK3 AND PSYCHOLOGY Mind ia the material on which the teacher works; wood ia the material which the carpenter works. The car penter has a superior knowledge of wood, ot the different kinds of wood, their durability aud power to acquire stains and polishes; the teacher should have a similar knowledge of the object of his labors. As the carpenter not only knows the things be wants to make, but also understands the qualities of the wood, but of which he makes them, so also the teacher should not only know the subjects he will teach, but also the qualities of the mind or soul to which he intends to teach them. We say the carpenter “has” and “is’' and “does", but the teacher “should have” and “should be” and “ehould do,” for the carpenter is better prepared for carpentry than the teacher for teaching. Assuredly this is not as it should be, but it is unfortunately the fact that the average teacher has not, and openly professes not to have any special knowl edge of the powers or attributes of the mind. The ridiculousness of this has at last dawned upon the men in high educational places, and now the teachers reading circles are required to rend a book on the science of mind—Adams' Herbatium Psychology. It is to be hoped that our teachers will show tbeii interest in the profession by embracing this opportunity. . ;■ ■ if V Ed. H. Whelan. DALY-HARRINGTON. At 8t. Patrick's church, O’Neill, Ne braska, at 7:80, a. in., Wednesday, October 89, were united in marriage Miss Minnie E. Daly, of Mineola, and Mr. James J. Harrington, of O'Neill. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Daly, of Mineola, Nebraska, and the groom is a prominent lawyer of this city. The bride was at tended by Miss Wiunie McEnery, sister ot Mrs. M- F. Harrington; the grooms man was Mr. J. C. Morrow- The morn ing was an exceptionally fine one for the ringing of marriage bells. The bride wore a gown of cream silk, trimmed with mousseline de aoie, was wreathed with orange blossoms and carried in her band a bunch of roses. The bridesmaid was dressed in Dale blue silk with pearl trimmings and bore a bouquet of chrys anthemums. lUL’giuum nun gnimuhiunu wuru 111c conventional black. A nuptial higb mass was chanted for the occasion, after which the bridal party repaired to the home of M. F. Harrington where a delicious breakfast was spread for them. Oaly relatives of the families were invited. The young couple left at once for Omaha and on returning will make their home in the Hazelet residence. This wedding has for some time been expected by the people of O'Neill, for. 1 “Journeys end In lovers meeting Every wise man's son doth know." The Fuontier joins the host of friends of the newly united pair in wishing them long life and prosperity and hope that their fondest dreams may bo realized.___ WHAT REDEMPTION MEANS. ‘T predict the Credits Commutation company will redeem the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western an ! the Sioux City and Northern if redemption is permitted by the supreme court decision in the Todd case,” said John Pietce, who is thoroughly familiar with every phase of this litigation. “A crisis in this fight came in August 1804,” he continued. “At that time; the Todds would have settled with the Credits Commutation for $1,60Q,000 and accrued interest. If the Credits people now redeem they will receive all the bonds aud stock of the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western and four-fifths of the stock o^the Sioux City and Northern. The remaing fifth of the Northern stock is owned by President Hill, of tbe Great Northern. The bonds of the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western at 818,000 a mile amounts to 82,840,000. If the Credits people redeem they will own the Pacific Short Line free from all debt and own the Sioux City and Northern subject to Sts bonded indebtedness.

I "The stock of tho Terminal company and) of the Pacific Short Line Bridge company, were put up behind thia loan of tl,800,000 but have been cut out by foreclosure on the bonda of those proper* ties. “Again, if the Credits Commutation company redeems it not only will own both railroads, but will invest the oaah in the hands of the court which is re* ported to be a quarter of a million dol* lars, in the case of the Sioux City and Northern alone, now on deposit in Chicago. “The properties now are earning per annum 11,000,000 gross or about $450,* 000 a month. Thus it will be seen that while being operated by the court these two properties will pay 5 per cent, on an investment of $6,000,000. If thia is possible under receiverships what might not be expected of railroad^ managers? “The combination bridge is paying its fixed charges at the present time, and if some great power like the Credits Commutation company could take these combined properties with the terminals and operated all as unit it undoubtedly would be the greatest paying property upon the investment that so far has been made in the northwest. -''V The Bare La Grippi ore.
