Monday’s F. E. passenger from the west had aboard the Black Hills delega tion to the republican state convention at Sionx Falls.

Mr. and Mrs. B. A. DeYarman’s little boy was (kicked in the face by a horse Sunday and badly hurt, It was a side blow across the nose and tore off a large patch of flesh, leaving bones exposed. Drs. Trueblood and Gilligan were called and stitched up the wound. The boy is now out at play. Ed Grady arrived in town last week from Waterloo, Io^a, where he has re sided the past two years. The first of next week Ed and Charlie Millard leave for the Black Hills where they will push work on a couple of mining claims they “staked out” a few years ago. They believe they have good property and we hope their fondest dreams will be re alized. __ Owen Meredith is down with typhoid fever. This is the third year in succes sion that this family have been afflicted with typhoid, each year bringing down a different member of the family. It is to be hoped that this ravaging disease will not get another such a start as it had last year and it behooves every family to take precaution to the sanitary condition of their homes. R. L. Tatlant, of Sturgis, is. D., is in the city this week cunvaesing for a book entitled: “The Black Hills, or The Last Hunting Ground of the Dakotas.” The book was written by Mr. Tallant’s mother who went to the Hills country in December, 1874, being the first white woman in that section. The book is a handsome volume of 713 pages descrip tive of pioneer days and contains many splendid illustrations.

The exercises given by the Eighth grade of the O'Neill schools last Thurs day evening, were a credit to the teach er, Miss Hopkins, and an honor to the pupils, a satisfaction to their parants and very pleasing to the large audience in attendance. Each number on the program was well worth the price of admittance, and some of the renditions by the pupils were of exceptional merit. The school board met last eveniug and after balloting fourteen rounds without electing a superintendent adjourned. Prof. Whelan, who has given our schools excellent service the past two years in the capacity of superintendent, is not an applicant for re-election. He goes to pursue the study of law. A gentleman named Owens, of Omaha, seems to be in the lead for the position, though it can not now be said who will be selected. Johnson County Journal: The latest snide game that is being played on farm ers comes from the Keystone state. A man goes about in that state represent ing himself to be a census taker, and asks the usual lot of questions and gets the farmer to sign the statement, which turns up as an order for a lot of worthless books, by another agent who collects fabulous prices for the same, whenever farmers forget to sign any kind of a paper for strangers they may be considered safe from the innocent purchaser dodge. The Huebner-Settle company are billed for Monday and Tuesday nights of next week at the O’Neill opera-house. Monday night they present that master piece of the stage, “Faust,” and on Tuesday night the fameous play, “Sapho.” The stage sittings are elabor ate, the company carrying the entire scenery, which, with the electrical effects, is among the finest on the stage. The acting of the company is superb throughout‘and the characters Mephisto and Faust represent some strong acting. Prices 35 and 50 cents. Tickets on sale at Corrigan’s. A considerable audience greeted the high school graduates at the opera-house last Friday evening. The Frontier has published the program in a previous issue and it is not necessary to repeat it here. Unfortunately, neither of us could attend the exercises, and hence we are unable to do justice to the efforts of the class. However, the program was slightly different from that published, Miss Lowrie’s oration being spoken in Latin and Miss Dwyer’s in German. That O’Neill people take a commendable | interest in our schools was shown by the large attendance at commencement. Scott Hough died at his home near Chambers on last Thursday evening of heart trouble. The funeral occurred Saturday at the Methodist church in Chambers. Deceased leaves a wife and several children. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, in which order he carried $ 1, 000 insurance. He was forty years of age'. Mr. Hough moved onto a farm near Chambers about a year ago from O'Neill. He had been a resident of this city for many years and was known by all onr citizens, who regret his demise and feel a sympathy for the bereaved wife and children. The deceased had not enjoyed perfect health tor a number of years and this spring has been able to but little, though his death, as is the case in heart disease, came somewhat suddenly. _ _ The city has contracted with R. H. Mills for three wells, pumps and wind mills to supply the water works. Mr Mills is now at work on the wells, two of which will be located in the eastern part of town between Douglas street and the Short Line railroad track and the other at some point on the hill in the northeast part of the city. These locations are selected because of Letter iilterage afforded by the layers of clay and rock underneath the surface. From the work thus far it is found that at a distance of some twenty feet down there is a layer of white clay about eighteen feet thick; this is underlayed by a very hard sandstone which forms in layers of from one to two feet thick with clay between. Mr. Mills says this gives just what is wanted. The two wells on 'the lower ground will be from seventy-five to eighty feet deep and the one on the hill perhaps will have to be made con siderable deeper. Each well is supplied with a pump and windmill will be lo cated at a convenient distance from the standpipe mains. This is going to make a considerable saving to the city in the operation of the water works. An en gine is now used for pumping and the cost of operating it is in the neighbor hood of $800 a year. The wells, mills, pumps and everything complete will cost about $500, but after they are once io operation there i» no more expense, so that what it now costs to run t*»e engine for one year will more than pay for the wells and mills. The engine will be kept in condition for use in case of a season of no wind, which will hardly be in this country. A team of horses belonging to a man living out southwest gave an exhibition of their rnnning qualities abont noon today. Starting from near the Short Line depot they ran up town, dashed through the ally north of Biglin’s imple ment house and tore away south as fast as they could run with the wagon hitting the high places behind them. They were turned at the F. £■ tracks by a train blockading the crossing and came back toward town on the next street east. In the meantime the wagon box was lost, the hind wheels became de tached from the front and with the remnants the frightened horses bolted into a shed back of Hicks’ and shattered the lumber. At MoCafferty’s corner they were captured by a crowd of ex cited oitizens who bad assembled to stop the furious flight. Joe Hershlser was taken to the in* dustrial school at Kearney yesterday. This is Joe’s second entry to that in stitution, the first time being four or five yeaJs ago, at the instance of a railroad detective, when he was charged with having placed an obstruction on the railroad track a mile west of town. There is no specific depradation laid to his charge this time, but Mr. and Mrs. Hershlser found the boy hard to manage owing to his propensities for untruth fulness and theft. Joe it not their own son, but was taken by them to raise when he was a baby. They have given him a good home and have been kind and good to him and tried to make him an honest an industrious voting man. The boy has many good traits, is gener ous hearted and obliging and even shows an active interest in Sunday schools and young people’s religious societies, but his bumps of varacity and honesty are very small. Joe is about fifteen years of age. __ The Holt County Sunday School as sociation closed a profitable and inter esting convention last evening after being in session at the Methodist church in this city for two days.

Deceased had been in poor health for the past two months. About two weeks ago he went to a sanitarium near Lincoln for treatment, but being informed there that they could do nothing for him Mr. Campbell went to Omaha and consulted doctors. Nothing could be done for him there and so he returned home. The cause of death was contraction of the liver and stomach trouble. Mr. Campbell was born in Wisconsin. Sixteen years ago the day of his death he came to O’Neill and has since made his home here. Deleaves a wife and four children, the youngest two years old and the eldest ten. He was a mem ber of the Independent Workmen lodje and in that order carried $2,000 insur ance. *' The Cambell family is well known in this county, there being three brothers here, Frank, Mose and Tom. The deceased had a large circle ot friends, who when he left O’Neill to secure treatment were hopefnl of his recovery and sincere regret was felt when it was learned that he was beyond human aid. The funeral was held today at the Catholic church, the members of the Independent Workmen attending in a body and a great procession of people in carriages followed the remains to the church and thence to the grave. • * .— ’ ’ FOR SALE ’ ‘ — : 8-BURNER GASOLINE STOVE : Been used twice.
