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.

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. __

Death of Thomas Campbell.
Thomas Campbell died at his home in
this city Tuesday evening, age forty-live
years and six months.
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. •
