The Frontier would suggest to the

of botes where sod has been taicen up.
It looks badi and makes a very rough
street. Besides tbe sod which is taken
tip doesn’t grow when reset and thus is
of no use, whereas if it were left where
nature pnt it it would be a benefit and
our streets would present a much better
appearance._

Another school year is drawing to a
close and on Friday, May 18, another
class of young people will be added to
the roll of graduates from the O’Neill
'schools. This year’s class will be the
largest ever graduated from our schools.
It is also one of the most successful
classes that has won diplomas in O’Neill,
and deserve much credit for their
achievements. The superintendent and
teachers have labored faithfully and are
justified in feeltng a degree of pride in
the fruits of their labors. The Frontier
feels an interest in the educational work
of onr city and is glad to know that the
past year has been one of marked suc
cess. We have watched the growth Of
the public schools here from the time
it was held in a little one-room building
with but one teacher to the present day
when we have a large brick school-house
and nearly a half a score of teachers.
The class this year elected German in
its course of study and the progress it
has made in this line, and also in Latin,
has been very gratifying to Superintend
ent Whelan as well as to the members of
(he class.
The commencement exercises will be
fceld at the opera-house on Friday
evening, the 18th inst. The members of
the class bear all expenses of getting up
the program, commencement cards, etc.,
and to assist in this, charge an admission
fee of 25 cents. The tickets are on sale
at Corrigan’s. No doubt the young
people will be liberally helped in their
endeavors. We append the program
below:

Death of Mrs. O’Neill.
Mrs. Nellie O'Neill died at her home
in this city last Tuesday morning at
8:20, after an illness of about a year
with that dread disease consumption.
Deceased was horn in Clayton county.
Iowa. Aug 2. 1864, and came to Holt
county with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
T. Hurley, about eighteen years ago.
About twelve years ago she married
John O’Neill, who died in this city a
couple of years later. The funeral was
held from the Catholic church Wednes
day morning and was largely attended.
The Frontier tenders her little son, the
aged parents and the brothers and sis
terB of the deceased its sympathy in
their sorrow.
Resolutions.
Whereas, the grim Reaper, Death,
I has again entered our community and
displaced his power over humanity by
taking from ua our dear sister, Nellie
O’Neill, and thus again proving the un
certainty of life and that death respect
neither age nor usefulness, and
demonstrating the (utility of placing de
pendence on length of years or laying
up treasurers which may he runted, cor
rupted or decalyed, and
Whereas, we are fully aware that
though her foot-fall an 1 gentle voice
will be heard no more in the fortnightly
meetings of our society, and that we
consider the loss to our community and
our organization well nigh irreparable,
we are fully awaie that the ties of
kindred are much the stronger and we
can appreciate the extreme sorrow of
the parents and child and other relatives
who are left to mourn, and we know,
how sad it must he that the caressing
hand and loving voice of mother will be
felt and beard no more in this vale of
tears.
Therefore, Be it resolved by Roseland
Castle, Lady Highlanders, of O’Neill,
Nebraska, tender to the son, the
parents and other relatives of the de
ceased, our tenderest sympathy and
fraternal affection, and as an evidence
of our sorrow that the charter of our
lodge be draped in mourning for the
period of thirty days, and
Resolved that a copy of these resolu
tions be engrossed and presented to the
relatives of the deceased, to be held in
trust and delivered to her son when he
has attained bis majority.

TOKEN OF BEGIRD
TO THEIR PASTOR
Friday evening a committee ap
pointed at a mass meeting of the mem
bers of Father Cassidy’s parish called on
the reverend gentleman, aud, on behalf
of the congregation, presented bun with
a well filled purse containing over $400
and an address which we publish below.
That Father Cassidy has a loving place
in the hearts of his people was deeply
exemplified on Sunday morning at the
masses when he hid adieu for a time to
the congregation, tear stained faces were
numerous at the thought of a separation
for a abort time from their beloved
pastor. Father Cassidy will visit Rome,
Germany aud France, and attend, if
possible, the production of the famous
passion play at Oberammergan. On his
return he will spend about a month in
the Emerald Isle and return about the
first of September—we hope well in
health and enriched beyond measure for
faithful work in this, his chosen vine
yard ot the Lord. Monday morning a
large crowd assembled at the depot to
i bid him good-bye and God-speed.
O’Neill. Neb , May 4. 1900.—To Rev.
M. F. Cassidy.—Beloved Pastor: Having
lexrned of your proposed trip to Europe,
we take this opportunity of paying you
our respects before your departure.
For fourteen years you have been the
parish priest of this congregation at d
during that time you have endeared
yourself to all who have come in contact
with you; and to us you have been a
spiritual advisor and faithful friend.
You have been a devout and untiring
laborer in the vineyard of the Lord, and
while we all very much regret that we
are to be separated from you tor the
next few months, still we are more than
compensated by a knowledge of the fact
that it will be to you a season of needed
rest and recreation.
It is our sincere wish that your entire
trip will be one of pleasure and that you
will return to us in tbe v.utum with im
proved health and renewed vigor for tl e
work before you. We know how badly
you need a vacation and we sincerely
trust you will be able to put aside all
cares and fully enjoy your tour in
Europe, and particularly tbe visit you
have in view to tbe land of your birtb.
We hope to receive word from you
from time to time, and you may rest
assured that although we may not be
present with you in body our best wishes
and thoughts will follow you iit your
sojourn abroad.
As an evidence that your work has
been appreciated and that the seed sown
in your labors among us has not all been
cast on sandy ground, and as a token of
personal esteem, we present you here
with a purse, tbe contents of which we
trust will help to defray tbe expenses of
your trip, aod the recollection of which,
we hope, may be a pleasant memoiy
during your absence.
Signed in behalf of tbe congregation.
O. F. Biglin,
Chairman of Committee.
The circulation of the Ladies’ Home
Journal has reached 900,000, and passed
it by 5,000—905,000 copies being the
aggregate circulation of the April issue.
This is an increase of over 36,00*1 copies
per month for the last four months—
s'nce January first of the (resent year—
over the corresponding period in 1899.
Even these figures do not tell the whole
story of the growth of the Journal’s
popularity. But they stand for the ex
treme limit of the capacity of the
presses upon which the magazine is
printed, but which for the last year or
more—even with the constant increase
iu their number, and running day and
night—have been unable to keep the
supply apace with the increasing de
mand. Every issue within that period
has been exhausted in less than a fort
night after the dale of publication, and
the mechanical restrictions have made
it impossible to meet subsequent calls
for the magazine—several thousand each
month. __
Father Cassidy left Monday morning
for New York from which city he sails
on next Saturday for a four months’
tour through Italy, Switzerland, Eng
land, Ireland and France. At Missouri
Valley Father Smith of Omaha and
Father Morarity of South Omaha joined
him and will accompany him on the trip.
Father Cassidy’s many friends in O’Neill
wish for him a pleasant journey and a
safe return.

Clearing Ont Sale. .
Our entire stock of shoes and cloth
ing, we will close out in the next sixty
days. We will gives discount of 15
per cent, on all cash sale. No discount
will be given on goods sold in exchange
for produce. We have the largest stock
of shoes and clothing in the county and
this is a chance for cash purchasers to
get the full value for their money. We
will do no business only for spot cash.
Come and get out prices, we will gu
arantee to save you money when yon
buy goods of us. You do not have to
pay the long time prioe, neither do you
have to pay your share for the fellow
that never pays. You will find it to
your interest to buy your goods at a
cash store. When you buy goods at the
long time store you most expect to pay
the long price, we don’t believe in the
theory to compel the mao who pays
spot cash for bis goods to be charged *
the same price as the man who buva on
a year’s time. Therefore we belive tbe
cash bnyer should have a place to trade
where be cao get the value of bis money
and hence we propose to relive tbe cash
purchaser of tbe painful necessity of
being compelled to trade at tbe long
price store and paying long prices for
his goods. We do a strictly cash busi
ness and therefore you do not have to
pay these long prices.

The at cients believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or inflammatory rheumatism will agree
that tne iufliclion is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief.. It has never been
claimed that Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
would cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hun ireds bear testi
mony to the truth of this statement. One
application relieves the pain, and this
buick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale by
