Just as the hurried business mail was congratulating himself on being a-ble to move about the city sans overcoat wad felt boots along came a blast from the north with a good-sized snow storm and several degrees of freezing and he bad to haul out his heavy garments and muille himself up for another month’s winter. This is the way a western poet dilates upon a recent imiginary trip through the ‘‘enemy’s country ” in South Africa" "As fast across the veldt we flew, Our horses on the run, Each kopje bore n Boer or two, Each Boer he bore a gun." Chambers Bugle: William Higgins an old man of eighty years, was found by a searching party in his shanty in the hills five or six miles from Bartlett in a most pitible coudition, He had no fuel and had not had a fire for two days. A small quantity of flour was the only thing eatible in the house. Ho was brought to town and cared for ;ind is gaining strength rapidly'. "Well, that’s just what I tliiuk. It’s dreadful the way some girls do talk and carry on. Why, there’s Miss Lioose- j tongue and a half dozen more I know j who are perfectly shocking. I think ] that editor is just right in talking out this way.” (Reads on.) "Hold on there! What’s this he says! That smarty of an editor thinks he knows it all!” And the indiguant lady casts the paper to the floor. A. R.

Lish Graham, one of the boys who took his first lesson in the art preserva tive in O'Neill about twenty-one years ago and who has been a machine opera tor on the Boston Journal the past six years, arrived in O’Neill with his family last Thursday night and will make this county his feture home. He will farm north'of town about four miles and see if the bracing country air will bring back the bloom to his .cheeks that be lost in the city that is famous for lhe quality of her baked beans. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Cbauaberlaani .Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time aud whenever any of myjfamily or myself begin to catch cold | we begin to use the Cough Remedy, aud as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.—D. S. Mearkle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by P- C. Corrigan. Chadron News: A little grizzley bearded Englishman, who claims to he as free from sin as Christ was when on !fcsirtb, has been doing the evangelist act i at the Alpha and Locket district* the paat !.two or three weeks. He assured the News editor ihat he was absolutely free front..ein, and that he possessed the ' power to au>int and heal all saints , of ! all manners ,Af diseases just as Christ did. He caries a clipping from the llushville Recorder .to bevr nim out in his statements. .He .^ys he has been in the flocky mountains,tor^a great nmany years aud has preached-tite^jospel and chummed with Calamity June apd other wild western' chaiacters iu pijfly days. The Frontier publishes a iu»I page ,^<1 this week for L. C. Wade, tbe ranph* man, who is going to sell off his stock* (It is of such uttusnal occurrence for an | O’Neill paper to have such a thing that l we are inclined <to remark about it. | Mr. Wade has the right idea of advertis ing. He says that sa .matter of a few dollars in the cost of an advertisement amounts to nothing, #s advertising ex tensively, if it only brings ,one good i l)uyer more tho,n otherwise w.ou\^ g:.qpie, i more than pays for the cost. The : chant can lear« something fro,® rUnf ranchman in the matter of advertising. A paper judiciously devoted 10 plain and straight forward statements of one who has something to sell captures public attention and makes business for tbe advertiser_ A h<wney-handed, broadly-bewhisk ered heanesteader from Boyd county was keejting vigilance on the O’Neill land office Jsr several days not long ago. A smooth jfcangued chap came along to the homesteader as he was holding down his claim and snaking his continuous metidence upon,.and cultivation of, said iaad ami threatenedm contest the same, Hiking such a talk tbt>t the homesteader thought he meant business, and he got so badly scared at the prospect of losing his daim that he put up f 10 for the chap to shut up. The fellow left him and in | a couple of months started the same | game on the same homesteader. But the ten was not so easily plucked the next time and the man with the home stead stood him a round at the land office and won out. You can fool part of the people most all the time but you can’t get a Boyd county homesteader more thau once. j The organization of a company of I Nebraska National Guards at O’Neill has heeu completed and officers elected and the credentials sent into the state officers. The company is organized with forty-nine men, including officers. The commissioned and non-cummission ed officers are: C. E. Hall, captain; John Davidson, first lieutenant; Charles Harding, second lieutenant; John C. : Olsen, first sergeant; Martin Cronin, second; Sam Thompson, nthirii; Mecnt I Martin fourth and Sheridan Simmone | tiifth sergeants; Robert Williams, <piar i ter master; Charles Cole, first; Jobu j Fallon, second; Otto Clevisb, third and John Horrisky, jr., fourth, corporals; James Davis and George Henry musi cians. The company has not yet been formeraly mustered in as state guards,but this ceremony will take placo on a date to be named by the state mustering ollicct and will probably be done in the near future. The state officers will also ! appoint the company a place in the reg ! iment and it is thought it will be desig nated Company M. beveral members of the organization are “war scarred veterar s” of the late Spanish unpleasant ness and are pretty well up on military afiiairs. This will be the second time O'Neill has bad a company of atata I guards, the former being Company 1’, j which was organized during the term of j Governo r Crounse. There is no rea'soD ■ why onr city can’t have a good comnsny i of soldiers, and The Fionlier believes > the men in Ibis organization will make it one o,f the best companies in the state. At the meeting of the city council held Monday evening a committee was appointed to do a little prospecting in the matter of the electric light business. It seems that the council is figuring some on buying the incandescent plant and handling it as city property. The O’Neill Electric Light company is about to pass up and Manager Minnick is arranging to remov e the arc plant and engine to Alliance, says he is negotiat ing the sale of the rest of the plant to Neligh parties and figures on leaving O’Neill in the dark. Just what the city council will do we cannot guess, but it is not likely they wiil purchase the plant. Mr. Minnick is under con tract to furnish city streets lights till the first of-Mav. It is rather a hard dose on some of the citizens who invested all the way from $25 to $100 for fixtures and chandeliers less than a year ago to have the plant close down and pull out of the city and a good many men are irate over the prospects. The Frontier doesu’t like to see O'Neill without elec tric lights though our plant here has in some respects proved unsatisfactory. It looks tike a backward step to be without lights, but owing to circum stances it doesn't appear to be a wise fiu&ncial tnoye on the part .of the city to make such an investment. Resol&ioss O’VeUl.
