The Frontier runi.ISlIKl* EVERY THURSDAY HY Till- FRONTIER I'RINTINU OOM1'AN\ RESORTS TO FALSEHOOD. The current number of the es teemed Independent affords a charm iog ] lift lire of Hint, very volatile elmract.fr, its editor. i ho Inde pendent's product wherein it says it has advocated a revision in the sys tem of handling thieves and its charges upon The Frontier, is a lie from start to finish and The Frontier defies it to produce from its files one line in support of a system “wherein our petty thieves could he worked upon the streets.” Says the be fuddled sheet: The Independent has been advo eating a system wherein our petty thieves could lie worked upon the streets for many moons while the fat job criterion has been as mum as an oyster on the subject, and now when a move is to be made in con fortuity? with the Independent’s ideas on this subject our ltip van % .Winkle contemporary bobs up like ■"*v» a jack-in the box and says “our «.vi work is bearing fruit, the Iudepond ont to thecontrary notwithstanding.” The Frontier brands the Inde pendent. as a liar. The Frontier challanges the Inde pendent to produce evidence that it has uttered a word in favor of such an ordiauco as is now before the city council since Edwin S. Eves has been its editor. » The Frontier charges that the In dependent willfully lies when it says The Frontier did not advocate the; adopting of such an ordiauco until it enmeboforo the council. The Frontier repeatedly, for some months before any step was taken by the authorities in this direction, gave utterance to sentiments in fnvor of having such class of crimin als work ont their fines in place of lying in jail and the Independent repeatedly criticized it. For rank, raw change of front on any proposition at any time the Ii> depenent is a full length in the lead •of all competitors, but it lacks the least semblance of an artist. Perhaps The Frontier takes it too seriously, and should recommend the Independent’s case to the board of insanity. KINKAIDS CANDIDACY. Stuart Ledger: Of course it is early yet to begin to expend political thunder, but it is not too early to call attention to the fact that a re .publican candidate for congress from the south side of the district failed to receive a sufficiency of votes at the last election. The south side has no claim on the nomination this time It should be conceded to the north side, which has, practically, alrealty selected its candidate—Hon. M. P. Kinkaid, of O’Neill. Butte Gazette: The Gazette is in receipt of positive information that Hon. M. P. Kinkaid is a candidate for congress from this district. The information gives us great pleasure ns Judge Kinkaid is by far the strongest man in the district and will undoubtedly be elected by a large majority. His record, both as a private citizen and a public official , is without blemish and it is a great relief to know that the Big Sixth will be represented by a gentleman aud a statesman. Kearney Hub: Judge Kinkaid has not only proven his strength as a vote getter in his own section of the district, but is well and fovor ably known throughout theeutire district, and the Hub does not believe that a stronger candidate < . could be nominaten. He has been considered a j>ossibility since 1892 || and there have been several times, I both in 1892 and since, that he | could have been nominated if he had | made the unqualitied declaration that now comes from O’Neill. It is x Perhaps not wise at this juncture to HH.V that he is the only available can * didate, or the only one with whom the republican party might succeed, § or who ought to be nominated, but it must be admitted that ho has ex ceptionnlly strong claims and should be shown tho utmost consideration by the republicans of the district. Valentine Republican: It is grati fying to the Republican, as well as to the people of the Sixth district, to learn that Hon. M. 1\ Kinkaid, one of the present judges of the Fifteenth judicial district, has con seated to bo a candidate for the office of congressman, after much earnest solicitation on the part of his many near friends. During the three terms he has presided as dis trict judge he has proven himself to be a man of cool, level head, sound wisdom and established a character beyond reproach. His long years of experience in public affairs and familiarity with tho needs of this district eminently qualifies him tojbe a safe and faithful representative in the halls of congress,and the Ropub lican has no hesitancy in supporting his candidacy. When the opportu nity is given people of the Sixth district, regardless of, party affili ations, will bo pictured to assist in tlie election of snch a worthy man as M. P. Kinkaid, who has already endeared himself to their hearts by an honest, upright and manly course upon the bench, dealing out justice to friend and foe alike in a fearless manner. Such men are in demand. Chadron Journal: Interest in the republican situation in the Sixth Nebraska', district has reached, the point whore the men who ajSjr itfMr ested in the success off the party are considering the qualifications of tho many strong ftricl loading republicans who would creditably lead the re publican hosts to certain victory this i fall. It is a matter of gratification I to tho many friends of the Hon. M. P. Linkaid, judge of the Fifteenth district, that he is looked upon with i especial favor and the indication now point to his selection as the republi can nominee for the scat in congress made vaeaut by the demise of Hon. W. L. Greene. This is especially true in the northwestern part of the state where Judge Kinkaid is per sonally known to a largs majority of the voters but is by no means con fined to this section as throughout the entire state Judge Kinkaid's reputation extends and he is ionked upon as one of the stalwart leaders of Nebraska republicanism. Judge Kinkaid is withont doubt the strong ost man in the entire district at the present timo and it is a matter of i justice that the republican nomina tion should come to the northern end of the big district this year. For many years the republican workers in the northern and nortwesteru parts of the state have labored val iantly for the success of the candi dates who have come from the south ern and eastern boundaries of the district and now that this end of the district comes forward with a candi date it is a foregone conclusion that its claims will be recognized. When Norris Brown, of Kearney, declined to bo a candidate for a re nomination this fall Judge Kinkaid was urged to become a candidate. His friends recognized him as being preeminently litted for the position as representative of this district in congress. He is familiar with the needs of this part of Nebraska as any other man. Ho has come in close relation with the people during his long service on the district bench and is a loyal enthusiastic Nebraskan. He would be a credit to the state as the incumbent of a congressional position. He is an agressive, euer gergetic campaigner and his name on the congressional ticket this fall will materially help the cause of re publicanism in every one of the thirty-four counties in this district. The Journal is pleased to know that Judge Kinkaid has decided to be como a candidate for congress and predicts that his aspirations for the nomination will not only be grati fied but that he will also be elected to the position which he is so well able to capably till. CASTORIA THE KIND YOU HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT PITCHER’S His the Iij-siiaUe ligsatora cl *• wrapper ea every A CINDER WAS IN HIS EYE. Hat It Caine Oot After a Slmklne Cp ' Id a Car. 1 In tlie very center of a crowded cable 1 cai stood a short but heavy man, with ! a cinder in Ills eye, says the New York Tribune. Although the cinder evident ly gave him serious annoyance, ho was good-natured about it and In spite of the fact, that his fellow-passengers manifested the utmost indifference to his personal affairs, he bubbled over with information about that cinder His monologue was carried on In spas modic paragraphs and each paragraph terminated with the sentence: ‘‘I'll get It out when I get home.” Wedged In next to the man with the cinder were two women, each with more bun dles than she could gracefully manage. Some of the bundles were long ones, and with the sudden starts and stop pages of the car those long bundles poked about with much freedom among ! the hats and bonnets worn by the oc j cupants of the seats. An aristocratic looking woman, while clinging to a strap on the other side of the man with the cinder, dropped her eyeglasses on the floor and frantically endeavored to make an open space In the clos- iy parked car in order that she might rescue them before they were trampled on. The gallantry cf ihe man with the cinder in his eye was aw»kerted on the Instant. He, too. had he n grasping a strap, but he let go of it and stooped to pick up the glasses. .Tost-then the car. with a suddenness born of pure malevolence, stopped short. The heavy body of the stooping man was hurled violently against the two women with the bundles, knocking one into the laps of the passengers on one side of the car and dragging the other down upon his own prostrate form. Bundles flew In every direction, mingling with three or four hats which the general mix-up sent spinning into the air. The struggling women screamed and caught eagerly at anything within reach, whether It was a man’s necktie ,or a woman’s ostrich plumes, and in consequence there was quite an excit ing disturbance for a few seconds. Tha artisfoeratie woman’s glasses wwre trampled on and broken, and tha crackle and crunching of the glass elicited from her some remarks more incisive than soothing. One of the fe male passengers into whose lap the heaviest bundle-carrier landed bump ed her head against the side of the car with so much force that she almost went Into hysterics. While a compan ion was endeavoring to calm the injur ed woman the owners of the bundles raised their voices in loud lamentation over their inability to find the products of their shopping. Meanwhile the car had started with a jerk and given its occupants another vigorous shaking up. Passengers who had been tumbled upon, handled and crumpled, wrere be ginning to show signs of temper. There was a lack of geniality in the car for a moment. The short, heavy man had managed to scramble to his feet and get hold of a strap. Just as the atmos phere of the car was beginning to get heavy with ugliness he beamed joy ously upon his fellow-passengers and exclaimed: ‘‘Blamed -if that cinder sln’t out of my eve.’’ CIVILIZED CROW INDIANS. Tlie Tribe lteallr Sewn* to lie Making Progress. William C. Evans, a retired farmer and stockman and prominent citizen of West Liberty, Iowa, found time the other day between trains to call on a few Tormer citizens of West Liberty, who now live in Lincoln, says the Nebraska State Journal. He was re turning from a visit to a son who is storekeeper at the Crow agency in Wyoming. Mr. Evans went all through the Llig Horn region in 1SS4 and ho was much interested this trip in ob serving the progress the Crow Indians had made toward civilization since that time. The Crows, he said, were always a dull race, almost non-resis tant, and so had not so much warlike ness to get rid of as some other tribes. A number of them have taken land in severalty and till it quite successfully. It is. of course, with the younger gen eration that most has been attempted and accomplished. Mr. Evans attended Sunday school there, and found the children bright and well instructed. The day schools have had about 120 pupils and should have about 200 if all attended -who are the proper age. The families get off hunting, however, and it is hard to get some of the children hack. Just at present the schools are dismissed on accohnt of an epidemic of measles. The teacher is thoroughly qualified and doing much good. A number of Crow men wear the civil ized costume in Us entirety and others partially. The women, however, cling to their tribal dress. The children at the school must all wear clothes like the white people, but when they return to their wigwams they often go back to the more primitive styles. A few women who are graduates of Carlisle set an example of civilized dress. The Crows are a flue race physically. Many of (he men are more than six feet high and straight a? the traditional redman. The women, through burden bearing and hard work, ere less attractive in appearance, (in the whole, Mr. Evans thought that the tribe was really mov ing forward and that after awhile they might become really self-supporting and civilized enough for all practical purposes.
