The Academy Dramatic company pre
sented “Throngh Snow and Sunshine,”
to a $150 house last Saturday night.
The play was one of the strongest ever
staged by ametuer players in this sec
tion and the words of praise received by
them after the rendition of the drama is
evidence of the ability with which the
characters were presented, and were
very gratifying to the members of the
company.
Blair Polit: A Boston Judge in de
ciding a breach of promise suit based on
the fact that the contract was made on
Sunday, held that the contract was legal
and added: “I should doubt very muoh
if it was generally thought that an en
gagement made on Sunday was void.
In the part of the country where my
youth was passed, through it may have
been only a pleasant delusion, we used
to think that such engagements were
the thing for Sunday and that was
especially what Sunday evening was
instituted for.”

A verdant youth from the country
came into The Frontier’s back yard the
other morning with gore in his eye and
determination on his brow. He had
been in town the day previous and tied
his horse to a bale of bay at neighbor
Keyes’ hay barn. Mr. Keyes discovered
the horse contentedly eating bay at his
expense and walked out to it, removed
and brought the saddle in. The verdam
youth with gore in Bhis eye and deter
mination on his brow s< u^ht from sun
down til! morning bright for his sadd'e
and approaching Mr. Keys a la Pinker
ton the lost article was restored, a hint
being suggested that it might be well to
tie bis nag elsewhere when he came to

We clip the following from the musi
cal department of the Omaha Bee:
"Mies Nellie Hagerty, pianist, pupil of
Mr.,Schubert of Fremont, gave a piano
reoital last Saturday night in that city,
playing the 'Moonlight Sonata’
(Beethoven),'A Day in Venice’ (Nevin)
and Chopin numbers bracketed. She
was assisted by Mr. Preston, basso, and
by Miss Yakish and Mr. Bloomer,
violinists.” To be able to command
fayorable mention in the metropolitan
press is something does not fall to the
lot of every professional. In Fremont,
were Miss Hagerty is studing, her talent
is in frequent demand on musical oc
casions. O’Neill people are pleased at
her advancement.
- The Aoademy Dramatic company has
consented to produce the famous Irish
Drama entitled the Wanderers Dream,
a beautiful realistic story of loye, suffer
ing and patriotism, which brilliantly
portary the affeotion of the people of
Ireland for honor liberty and justioe.
Inasmuch as the 8hamrock is now
allowed, “by order of the Queen” to
grow on Irish soil, the heart of every
lover of liberty will go out in sympathy
to this bautiful drama which gloriously
assisted in keeping alive the sentiment
of purity, which are emblematical of the
dear little shamrock. The date set for
the production of this play will bej the
first week of May and the oast of char
acters, which we will publish later, will
be as strong as possible, ensuringan
evening of pleasant enjoyment for all.
Two weeks from next Tuesday city
election comes off and while the cam
paign has not warmed up very much as
yet the indications are that before the
election is over it will be warm enough
to suit all parties interested. The can
didates for mayor are Ed P. .Gallagher
and David Btannard, and we have heard
it said that George Washington Tiiggs
is a third candidate and has passed
around a petition, but as the document
has not come to our notioe we cannot
assert to the correctness of the report.
James F. Gallagher, now city elerk,
is a candidate for re-election and is op- J
posed by Sam Barnard. For treasurer,
the present incumbent, -B. McGreevey,
is a candidate, D. A. Doyly being his
opponent. So far but one candidate for
police judge is in the field. Police
Judge Davidson is up for re-election.
In the First ward O. O. Snyder will
probably have the field to himself
in the oouncilman raoe, he being the
only candidate out, and seems to be ac
ceptable to all. The Second ward is in
ths same happy condition, Frank Camp
bell being the solitary candidate, and
will probably be given a certificate of
election without opposition. But in the
Third—the bloody Third—it is different.
A. B. Newell and F. C. Gatz are riyals
for the honor of representing that ward
on the council and the fight promises to
be a warm one.
Meals Gets the Appointment.
The following letter settles the con
test for admittance to West Point in

A Typical Democrat.
Atkinson Republican:
A good story is told at the expense of
a delegate from the west end of the
county, to the recent democratic oounty
convention at O’Neill. After arriving
at the “Emerald-Tinted Citv,” he inqur
ed of some of bis friends where the con
vention was going to meet. He was in
formed that the meeting would take
place at Campbell’s. He immediately
hied himself to Gampbell’s which, in
accord with the “enternal fitness of
things,” was a place well supplied with
a verity of democratic prerequisites
always on tap in a well ordered saloon,
and kept by a man named Campbell. He
secured an easy chair and waited the
arrival of the delegates, In the mean
time the convention had met at Frank
Campbell’s implement house, and after
effecting a temporary organization,
appointing committees, etc., they, at
the request of a prominent democrat,
adjourned to attend a short “spiritual”
senaca at Tom Campbell’s genial resort
and garnish their vocal organs with the
usual democratic elixir. As a matter of
course, on dropping into the aforesaid
saloon, the spirits-tnvoking delegates
fresh from the dry quarters of the im
plement sheds, diocovered their an
xiously expectant brother delegate from
the wild ancPwooly borders of Holt,
comsortably ensconced in an arm chain
evidently trying to personify “Patience
aitting on a monument,smiling at grief.”
One of his co-delegates, surprised at his
delinquency, exclaimed: “Why, Bill,
where have you beenT we have been
wondering where you had gone.” “I
have been right here, inhaling the pure
spirit of Jack-sonian democracy,"
replied Bill—“You said you were going
to meet at Campbell’s and as this is
Campbell’s place and as he sells whisky,
I 'supposed that democrats would
naturally go where* there is that kind
of inspiration on tap, so I thought I was
in the right place.”
