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

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.
