THE FRONTIER. rUBLlPI!F.r> F.VI.UY 1'HCnSDAT BY TIIB KUONTiKU 1'KINTINU COMPANY. O'NEILL, - - NEU11ASKA. NEBRASKA In many Nebraska towns tne demand for dwelling houses exceeds the sup ply. The residence of Mrs. Victory of Be atrice was destroyed by fire. Some of the furniture was saved. About one-half of the voters of Ne maha county have signed the petition asking for an election to vote on tho question of bonds for court house, 'there appears to be no opposition. Milton Lynde, who was killed in bat tle at Malolos, was a York boy. ne was a son of Rev. Lynde, a United Brethren minister, and was 20 year3 old. He was born in Otoe county, Ne braska, and his time was occupied in attending school and doing farm work. It is unusual, says a Fremont dis patch, to make arrangements in March, while the ground is covered with snow, for a Fourth of July celebration, but such is the case. The Woodmen of the World have held a meeting and ar ranged to celebrate their next annual log rolling picnic in this city on inde pendence day. Company A of the First Nebraska is certainly bearing its brunt of the fight ing with the Philippines insurgents, says a York dispatch. The casualties to this date have been five killed and nine wounded. There have been four deaths from sickness, and altogether their loss is nearly 20 per cent of the company, counting the full quota. The young women of Gibson gave a unique entertainment for the purpose of raising funds to finish paying for a soldiers’ monument. Tents were pitch ed and the vurious courses from tin cups to hard tack were served at 5 cents an order. Financially and so cially the affair was a success for in excess of what was hoped. The Union Pacific will lay eighty pound steel rails on its track between Omaha and Columbus, and work on the job has commenced. These rails replace the old sixty-flve-pound steel rails, which will be laid on extensions and sidings. The company will also finish the work of ballasting its main line in Nebraska with Sherman gravel. While the niglitwatch at Humboldt was making his rounds at the rear of the store of Bartlett Bros., he ran up on two burglars trying to make an en trance into the store. One man was boring holes around the lock with a brace and bit, while the other was standing behind him with a small saw ready to saw out the lock. They es caped. A young man of good business ad dress stopped off at York and made a house to house canvass, claiming to be agent for a popular magazine and me proprietors had made a special offer of a set of Haviland china to each new subscriber. He delivered one maga zine and carried with him one small piece of China. About fifty women paid the $1 required. The fine new Syndicate opera house block, a three-story brick and stone building In Crawford, was burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is unknown. It started in the basement of the block, directly underneath the postofllce, and rapidly spread through the entire building. The furniture, fixtures and valuable mail matter in the postofllce were totally destroyed. A government revenue officer has been in Curtis rounding up his share of the illegal liquor sellers. Several ar rests were made and the offenders com pelled to take out government license. John Hill, one of the victims, was as sessed to the tune of $16, in addition to the $25 by the local officers. He is still under bonds to appear at the county court of the wholesale trial of offend ers. In behalf of the state of Nebraska C. o. Smyth as attorney general has brought suit against A. E. Burr, Daniel Sullivan, I). B. Mudgett, Willlan Sulli van and C. C. Burrand, officers and di rectors of the First National bank of Alma, to recover the sum of $40,612.90. The suit has been instituted in the United States court, where the usual allegations relative to the insolvency of the bank are filed. Some changes are being recorded in the clerical force at the state house. The stenographers in the office of the adjutant general hove gone out, the legislature not having made appro priation for help of this sort for the next biennium. W. B. Bradbury, book keeper in the treasurer's office, has re signed and will engage in the merchan dise business at Stockville, where he is also Interested in a bank. An Ashland dispatch relates that two young men who were hunting on the banks of the Platte river saw a man who was also hunting fall into the riv er and disappear. He was alone and had evidently been for a day or two out on the islands in a hut. He was crossing the ise in the main channel when It broke and let him in. The current carried him under the ice and they saw no more of him. A St. Edward dispatch says the re ported death of Conrad Eagan at Ma nila in state papers February 9, is looked upon as a mistake. A dis patch from Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, dated February 11, direct from Otis, reports Eagan severely wounded In the head, with prospects good for recovery. A letter from Fred Fitzgerald to his father, who resides in St. Edw-ard, dated February 9, says the report sent the day before by him that Eagan was killed was a mistake, and that his chances for recovery are good. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Johnson of Buffalo county last week celebrated their gol den wedding. A. Koenig, a well known German farmer living southwest of Beatrice, was dangerously assaulted by John With, one of his neighbors. Koenig took up a stray hog and With appeared at his home and demanded that he give it up, claiming it was his prooerty. A quarrel followed Koenig's refusal and With struck Koenig a blow over the head with a singletree, badly fractur ing his skull. The man's injuries are such that It is thought te will not re cover.

A drunken irisnman is said to have made Tacoma tne western terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad. The city has now a population of over 50, 000, and is growing fast.
