A prosperity item that is receiviug
considerable publicity in Nebraska is
the sale of a tract of farm lana in Dodge
county for $80 per acre. Dodge county is
not the only one in the state whose farm
lands have received substantial impetus
during the past two years. Lands in
Holt county are bringing double the
price they did two years ago. The up
ward tendency is general thronghout the
whole agricultural district of the west.

M. Patterson entered a peace com
plaint in county court Monday against
Joseph Davis. It is stated that Patter
son’s cattle have been intruding on the
other man’s premises and causing some
damage, as well as much annoyance
Davis, it appears, assumed a threatening
attitude, and took his gun in hand
and advised Patterson to take care of
his cattle, or blood would drench the
valley. Both parties live near Dorsey.
Judge Selali bound Davis over to the
district court.
February Ladies’ Home Journal: What
I ever differnce of opinion there may be up
on the advisability of smoking for men
there is none as to its pernicious effect
upon boys. It effects the action of the
heart and reduces the capaity of the
lungs- Young men who are being train
ed for athleticts are not permitted to
smoke by their trainers because they say
“its bad for the wind.’’ The argument
that will appeal most forcibly to your
boy is that smoking will stunt his growth.
Cigarettes are particulary injurious
Nicotine, the active principle of tobacco,
is said by chemists to be next to prussic
acid, the most rapidly fat tl poison
known. The tender tissue of a growing
boy cannot absorb even a very small
quanity of it without most injurious re
sults.
Burk’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin company,
which comes to the opera-house on Fri
day evoniug, February 2, is highly

company numbers 22 artists and musi
cians. and give a complete rendition of
the great drama, with appropriate scen
ery and stage effects. In connection
I with their fine-acting company they give
a select musical program, consisting of
standard overtures and popular melo
dies, making an enjoyable evening of
mirth, music and melo-drama. Open
air band concert at noon. Admission
34c, reserved seats 50c. Seats on sale at

Weigh Master Wagers furnishes us
with the following figures showing the
amount of grain and hogs weighed on
the city scales for the months of De
cember and January : Corn, 18,000
bushels; oats, 8,500 bushels; hogs, 425,
000 pounds. These figures represent1
$12,840 50 worth of hogs, $1,700 of oats
and $3,609 of corn, or a grand total of
$18,140. This represents but a portion
of the three items named that has been
marketed. Weigh Master Wagers says
one-third of the amount given should be
Bdded to the figures for h6gs‘, afuT if’
to the grain. January, he says, has
been an unusually dull month in grain
and live stock markets.
And She Wears Britches.
Wayne Republican: The Ponca |
Leader, populist paper, and the Dixon ,
Tribune, democratic, are both edited by
ladies, and judging from the way they
go after each other that sex is afflicted
with some of man’s short comings.
Here is a sample from the last Tribune:
“Our Leader friend is no spring chicken
in point of years, but she has more to
learn yet. One important thing is that
manufacturing interviews in the office j
is the cheapest of ‘shop’ talk and only i
makes her appear a degree or two more
rediculous. This point will be disputed
by those who know her best for they
are sure nothing can make her ‘more’
ridiculous; but fake i nterviews will do it
if anything can. Then, too, she should
not play the baby act and try to squeal
out of punishment on the petticoat plea.
She should have thought of being a she
female before launching out on personal
abuse and malicious that anv he man
would have hesitated on. Take your
medicine, Ellen, and don’t cry for you
sure have worn britches long enough to
' entitle you to a mao’s .punishment |
' when you do wrong.

The Sanford Dodge Company.
M. F. Cronin, manager of the opera
house, is endeavoring to make arrange
ment for the appearance of the Sanford
Dodge company, presenting some of the
great Shakespear plays, at an early date.
Mr. Dodge has always been very care
ful in selecting his support and this sea
son the personnel surpasses any of bis
previous organizations. Aside from
being actors and actresses of exceptional
merit there is not a single member wbo
is not either a lady or gentlemen.
This excellent attraction deserves the
cordial support that haR always been
awarded it by the people throughout the
country. This company has won a
national reputation for merit and in
order to get them here a large sum of
money must be guaranteed. The agent
for Sanford Dodge will be in our city
soon and it is hoped he will meet with
such encouragement as will warrant him
booking this first class attraction here.
Let everyone help by signing the ticket
list and we will be assured a first class
intellectual and dramatic entertainment.
She Indorsed It.
Here is a Missouri story: Sbe hand
ed the check to the paying teller. She
was calm and collected, as if it was an
every day matter.
“Madam,” said the teller gently, “You
have forgotten to indorse it.”
“Indorse it?” with a little worried
smile.
“Yes; you must write your name on
the back here to show that you will re
pay this bank in case the issuer of this
check should fail to answer our
call.”
“Oh!” sbe said, accepting the pen.
When the teller looked at it again this
is what he read:
“The-bar.k has always paid up
what it owes, and you need have> no
worry. Therefore I indorse this
check. Very truly yours,
Mrs. J. B. Blancs.”
The teller fell over into the vault.

A Steal Nailed.
The esteemed Independent is mad ;
that’s very evident. Two issues arrear
Tike Frcnlier showed up a rank .steal the
Independent perpetrated and palmed off
on its "three thousand” readers as orig
inal. Silly Eddie tore his hair and
looked cross-eyed at the office cat when
he read The Frontier. After frothing
and foaming and performing wild and
baboonistic tantums up and down the
Independent shop, he took his pen in
hand and sat down and wrote :
"We used a few spasms of space tiller
last week under the caption of "Pointed
Paragraphs,” written by one Alex Miller,
who sells his stuff at so much per sell.
It was not credited to the author, nor
set up and made up as per copy, it being
sold to publishers to use as handy space
tiller as convenient; although in this in
stance we wrote an introduction for the
stuff for self-protection, which, in mak
ing up, was inadvertently omitted. Our
poor old paretic contemporary, the post
office supplement, which is uever printed
until the Independent is mailed and its
news columns perused and pillaged by
the head illuniinary of that second-hand
news dispenser, made the following)
comment upon our action, which is pos- ;
itively brilliant for that retreating va-'
gary which has been chased into its bole
and subject to ridicule by the Independ
ent on every topic at issue until Ross
Hammond, of the republican committee,
told its editor for the sake of their party
success he had better 'keep his d-d
moutV shut.’ Coming from a paper
that uses Hanna-made editorials by the
page—a sheet that never has an opinion
of its own, this comment is certainly
worthy of production, especially as it
refer* to the ‘pointed paragraphs’ in
question, which are about as expression
less as the Frontier’s comment.”
There abides no safety of thought or
deed in wrath, no justice in anger. The
editor of the Independent, like a sneak
ing coward-aevil that sulks away to hide
his deformed head, tries to excuse his
craven deed by saying, “we wrote an in
troduction” and it “was inadvertently
omitted ” His charge of pillaging the
columns of the Independent is on a par
with the rest of his cowardly utterances,
but this reminds us that he can't get his
sheet to press till he sends a hired menial
over to The Frontier office for an armful
of leads to double-lead his windy out
puts of populist rot, and a couple col
umns of plate to fill his yawning
columns. The Frontier editors furnish
their own editorials and local matter,
and whatever appears in these columns
is forged at home, or properly credited.
The Frontier bends its back to no mas
ter and looks to no political high priest
for inspiration. The whole series of In
dependent editors have bowed their
heads with alacrity to the pop bosses of
Holt county, and the sheet uses Selah
and Harrington editorials by the col
umn. For this upstart from Amelia to
talk of The Frontier using “Hanna
made editorials” makes one laugh. But
our resentment at the above stuff leads
us astray—we have mutilated enough
| space on this thing Eves already. Ta ta !
