T. M. Elder, county chairman. Nebraska pops bave raised their voices time aud again against government by injunction. But it is noted that a pop will get an injunction order from the court just as quick an the next fellow. Attorney General Smyth asking Judge Dickinson to enjoin the Omaha ice trust and Dr. Lang seeking an injunction to bold his job are illustrative of the point in question. The state apportionment of school money for May gives Holt county $4,566.85. This is an increase of $1,225.35 over the December apportion ment and $843.45 larger than the May apportionment a year ago.

Last week Willie O’Connor received a letter from Tom Kearney, who will be remembered by many of our old resi dents, he having lived here in early days and left some ten years ago.

We visited Neil Brennan’s park in the northeast part of the city last Monday and was delighted at the beauty and grandusr thereof. It is indeed beauti ful and shows that much labor and care have been bestowed upon the grounds. A large variety of tress are growing, among them pine, cedar, cottonwood, asb, boxelder, maple and walnut, and all are thriving. Its well worth a visit to anyone wishing to view an ideal park.

Whelan left last Friday for Lincoln, where he will study law at the state university as soon as the term for next year opens up. During the summer vacation he expects to prepare for the university work-by reading law in the office of one of Lincoln's leading exponents of Dlackstone. Ed is a bright young man and The Frontier predicts for him a successful career in his studies and a biilliant expounder of law after having obtained a sheepskin. A group of O’Neill ladies were chat ting the oilier evening about numerous things dear to the feminine heart when one of them, who had probably seen thirty summers and winters without * .« .-'Ul “TuiSocrv'k£u\* ‘'any, girls, I am so glad that an old married man has been appointed census enumerator for O’Neill —for it would he perfectly horrid if some young man had the position and we would have to tell him our age. Well, I wouldn’t, that’s all!” The rest of the party acquiesced in her statement and with much tittering dispersed. Mr. and Mrs. Ed F. Gallagher, J. F. Gallagher and Jamefe O'Donnell went up to Atkinson Wednesday, where and when Mr. O’Donnell and Charles Brook had a live pigeon shoot for $25 a side. The shoot was very interesting, result ing in n tie, each contestant killing twenty-one birds out of twenty five. After the live bird contest they shot blue rocks, twenty-five each, and here the O’Neillite came out ahead, the score standing eighteen to fourteen. The saute gentlemen will have another live bird shoot in the near future in this city. Tomorrow the conut of the people in the United States will begin in all parts of the country and will end in the cities two weeks later and in the rest of the country before the dose of the month. The people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many per sons and families will be away from their homes during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, the locality in which they live will be mis represented to that extent, and in some cases this misrepresentation may be enough to affeot the representation in congress from which they come. The various states may require re-districting and it is probable Nebraska will be di vided into seven districts instead of six Hence it is important that a full count be had. In all cases of contemplated absence the head of the family should communicate with the census supervisor in their district, who for this district is John T. Malliue of Kearney. The cen* sub office requests this and also that he leave information regarding the answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumer ator on his rounds. Such information might better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case it is less like ly to be overlooked. The questions to which answers are desired apply primar ily to the population, but also to all farms and manufacturing establishments By taking this trouble the absent oiti zen will do justice to bis locality and his state and materially aid the ceusus office in the performance of jts duties. The at cients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man.* An y one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the iufliction 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 bun 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 P. C, Corrigan. Erg: A learned Culberteonite by the name of John Doe conld never agree with hie wife which was proper, “got ton” or "got.” The argument lasted al most daily for years, but at last the wife, who was champion of the. latter term, won a signal victory in the argument. Mr. Doe was in "McCook recently and wiied his wife: “Have gotten tickets for the opera tonight; meet me there.’ The telegraph operator rendered Ihit into: “Have got ten tickets,” etc. Mrs Doe was delighted with the opportunity to entertain he frieuds, and accordingly made up a party of eight besides herself •ind met John at the rendezvous with great cordially and delight. He soon found that he was expected to pay the freight, which he did with as much abandon as possible. But be no longer says “gotten” for “got.” While at the Elkhorii depot last Fri day morning we observed a weary willie board the train and swing himself to his favorite berth just a hove the wheel truck while the train was K<>ing at the rate of ten miles au hour. The wader ing turiats, who are afraid of water and work^fcave by constant practice become -xpsr£ at boarding trains, and to one who never saw this feat of athletics it would appear quite impossible. The gentleman of much travel grasps the rod that extends from length to length on either side of the car and with the grace of a dancing maiden swings to the the timbers of the truck, and there is as safe as the bondholder who reclines on soft cuehins in the Pullman above him. Railroad boys say “boarding the bumps’ !s not a difficult feat, but few of them like to try it._ Tuesday was the thirty-fourth tnni* veraary of Rev. E. Grant llutcliinsen, pastor of the Methodist church of tMs city. By secret conniving aroh „ ^jw'^Vre-ar rangement Mr-.. \ ..... . ~ ._»><«• ^»*j«vTrnnitnspn planned with a score and a half of friends to per petrate a surprise on ttie pastor and when he had settled in nn easy chair for the evening was aroused by an invading party who came to remind him of ad vancing years. The evening was pleas antly spent in a social way and Ibe guests Were regailed, before the party broke up, with summer refreshments Just the older members of the pastor’s church were present. They presented Rev. Hu'chinsen with a rocking chair, the presentation being made by J. 8. Coppoc accompanied with a few ap propriate r •marks, to which Rev. Hutch insen responded in expressing his grati tude to those who had rememhrcd him on that occasion. I lie Division or Animal Pathology of the Experiment station at tlie Univer sity ot Nebraska is perfecting its plans for the coming year’s campaign strains! hog cholera. As is well known this division has been very active in inaug urating experiments with this disease One of the experiments under content plation is the taking up of certain counties in which hog cholera exists and having experts there to note the mor tality in the entire county and to aid the officials of the county in eradicating the disease both by sanitary and popular methods and by the use of serum. It is hoped that if oertain counties will take up this idea of assisting this division a great deal of good can be done, both in ascertaining how virulent the disease has been in the countv and by reducing the per cent of mortality in the county. In other words, it is a kind of quaran tine system, or stamping-out process,and it is hoped by this method that the farmers can guard against this disease to a large extent. The plans are not as yet fully matured but will be perfected be fore the work is begun. KITTIE MATHEWS WINS FAME IN DARKEST ARKANSAS (Arkansas Daily Unnette) Wbeu the play of 'Tngoiiiar'* was |«u» on al Ihe Capital theater on the niglt of February 8 last, under the direction and management of Dr. W. D. Mathews, by the Daughters of the Southern Con fed* ercy and for the confederate monument building fund inaugurated by the Gazette three years sgo, it will be remembered that the local players scored a surprising hit. The perfectness of the rendition and the talent displayed was a revelation in amateur work. Not only was the play a success from an . artistic stand point, but fi laucially ns well, some (Oob being netted, and the hearts of our pen* pie warmed to ail who had a hand in achieving such a ptonouiiced success Dr. Mathews being a northern man, sot* of a federal soldier and publisher of s republican newspaper, evinced so liber>o a spirit in the matter tbal Ihe occasion will always bs remembered as one of the pleasant epochs in our city’s history. With his son iiarry and daughter Kitti< as a nucleus a splendid company was formed, and it Ib oftened wished that other work would be attempted. In the play of 'Tiigomar'' Miss Kittii as “Parthenia" was easily the star, and by her perfect oonoeption of (be charac ter, splendid acting and delivery, she won the hearts of the entire audience. Since then she has enjoyed general pop ularity, and has often appeared at social and piivate galliot inga in recitation. That her freely giyen assistance to the on use of taising the monument fund is duly appreciated in proven by nn Inci dent that ocourred yesterday evening at Dr. Matbew't residence. It was intended that tliis sub rosa part of tlie program should \fke place at Dr. Uorau's lecture Friday evening. Just after Miss Kiltie had recited tbat difficult tragical creation of ‘‘Hagar,”bul the necessary article had not been received from the manufact urers in St. Louis as bad beeu expected. So a (telegatioq of confederate veteran*, members of Department Commander V Y, Cook’s staff, beaded by the colonel himself and also accompanied by Col. Bob Newell, an ex federal offloer, called at the home of Dr. Math-we, at 1518 West Ninth street, and offered a com plete surprise to Miss Kiltie and her parents. At the close of a social visit Col. Cook remarked tliat he couldn’t talk much but bad issued orders to Gen. Green to give Miss Ki'tfe a good talking to, for sbe deserved it. Gen. Green, with a cheer) voice and a benignant smile, said: "Miss Kittle: Meeting you here in your liome is a pleasure. Col Cook sat s I must make a spe rli, and to you. If I were forty years younger and your father and inothei were in some other part of the house I know J con'd make an eloquent speech. Ilowexe , it is a pleasure to obey the orders of my super ^woxuferrttibrimuciunvey to you the a* TbrTrmWrau^-TTr —t, ...; , j mi ran re of the fact that ^ •‘TWr con federate veteran* of Arkansas lovevou as one of their own—as a daughter, in deed In your splendid and artistic work in thr character of ‘Parlhenia’ a few months vgo and last night as ‘Ha gar’you have been helping to build a monument to the memory of the confed erate dead. The otd confederates living have been huildin,- in their hearts a monument to Miss Kittie, wnom they now wish through me to thank from the heart’s depths, and at die same time to exhibit in a nianiur more endurable their appreciation. In behalf of Col. Cook and the r embers of the staff 1 hand you this token, and with it goes our sincere wishes for yo ir future hap piness, health and prosperity in all tilings. The casket which Gen. Green hamled to Miss Kittle contained a handsome and original badge or jewel, and it is no wonder that the recipient could only murmur her thanks in a voice made husky with tears. This pin is an odd affair, expressing a beautiful sentiment. It is made of gold. There are two flags crossed—one the confederate stars and bars, the other the stars and stripes Beneath the flags, joining the staffs, is filigree scroll work, and between the Hags is a handsome solitaire diamond. The enamel work on the flags forming the stars and stripes and bars is beau i'ul. On the'reverse is engraved, “Miss Kiltie Mathews, by the Arkansas Division U C. V.” All in all it is the finest emblematic medallion we have seen in a long while. Weil maj Miss Mathews feel proud of it and well may the donnors feel proud, too, in making so estimable a young lady hap py; and she surely is, for when she tele phoned the Gazette to thank her good friends for this evidence of esteem her voice proved as much, for it bespoke a heart overflowing with joy and thanks. We understand Miss Kiltie goes to Chicago next month to enter a school of oratory, and we know that she will wear the two flaga with pride, and gloriously ^)l}Qt Constitutes q first-class 9 \ I- p ** Qrocerg store? ^ Keeping everything in season in snf flcient variety to snpply all Hasses.
