The above is not reproduced for any literary merit it contains, nor for an item of news. Il is neither. It is sim ply a grand picture of populist passion, prejudice, dishonor and hate. The In dependent is void of the least sense of political or social etiquette. Waterloo Gazette: The editor returned Tuesday evening from a short visit at his former home in O’Neill. He found crop conditions good the entire length of the Elkhorn Valley, with the excep tion of a Uttle shortage in small grain in parts of Antelope and Holt counties, a lack of rain at the critioal time preven ting a full crop. Nowhere was there anything bordering on a complete fail ure, however, and everybody and every* thing are in a prosperous condition. Hay and cattle are the principal indus tries of Holt county and they are both in a most flourishing condition. The man in that county who hasn’t a bunch of cattle, whether on a farm or not, is not strictly in it, practically no one in business or out, but depends in a large measuae upon the cattle industry of that county for a livelihood. Farming is carried on to a more or less extent, but is secondary to the stock-raising in dustry. Having found out for what that country is best adapted and having followed up the “lead," exerybody is prosperous to a degree not attained in the earlier history of the connty. Mr. J. G. Trauerman arrived here last Thursday on his return from Bciio Fouche, South Dakota, where he purchased 500 yearling steers of extra good quality to arrive at O’Neill between the 15th and 80th of August, to go on Trauerman & Wade’s ranch 10 miles southwest of O’Neill aud if said cattle are as guaranteed, they have con tracted for 500 head more to be delivered on their ranch at O’Neill in September. Although Trauerman and Wade’s first year's experience has not been very profitable, they are here to stay and willing to try the futare as there is no question in their mind that there are great prospects for making money in this section of the country where land is so cheap and feed in such great sbund* ance. __ It is the desire of several patties to organize in this northern country a poultry and pet-show, and for that pur pose two meetings have been held, and a third is to be held at Atkinson on Wednesday, August 8, at 10 a. m., for the purpose of completing the organiza tion, and every one in *11011, Rock, Boyd, Cherry and Brown oounties inter* ested in standard bred poultry and pet stock of all kinds, are cordially invited to be present or write their views to L. J. C. Richard, Stuart, as to any subject which may oocur to them. Your pres ence is preferred. The place of hold ing the first show will be seleoted at that time. The time of holding it has been fixed about December 27 to 29. Matters of importance will come up. i Membership fee until that time will be 50 cents. By order of committee. Complaint was filed in county court this morning against William Robinson and John Doe, real name unknown, by County Attorney McCutcheon. The men are charged with breaking the state flame law. Sheriff Stewart went after the parties today to bring them into court. They live out in the vicinity of Chambers. The arrest is the result of some investigative work done by C. H. Curtis, an agent employed by the Omaha Gun Club to hunt out offenders of the game law and prosecute them. It seems that Mr. Robinson has been snipping chickens for the last two or three weeks to the Sioux City market. It is alpo stated that A. H. Blinco, brakeman on the Short Line, is implicated with him to the extent of carrying the chickens to Sioux City, though Mr. Blinco is not In cluded in the action before the court. Yesterday, at the instance otfilr. Curtis, a telescope saohel containing sixty chickens whioh Robinson was sending to Sioux City was seized by County Attorney McCutcheon. Things in the realm of base ball have been up to the customary activity the past week. Two games were played Sunday, the masons against the carpen ters, and the first and second O’Neill teams engaged in a game. These were of minor importance. A warmly con tested and interesting game occurred on Saturday at Coyne’s school house in Shields township between Knoxville and the Peelers. Seven innings closed with only one score made. After this scores began to come in and at the con clusion of the ninth Inning the score stood five to two in favor of Knoxville. The game, however, in which O’Neill was most interested occurred Tuesday when O’Neill and Atkinson met in dead ly combat on the latter’s grounds. The O’Neill boys were still smarting under the defeat administered by Atkinson last week and went into the game with a de- • termination to win back lost laurels. They did it by a score of eight to four. Unlike the affair here last week, no strife was engendered over the umpire, Mike McCarthy of O’Neill, who gave univer sal satisfaction. The Butler disbarment case occupied the attention of the district court Thurs day and Fribay last, both judges, West ober and Barrington, presiding. Several sheriffs from different counties were in attendance as witnesses and testified that their returns are not now in the condition they were when they (the summonses) left their hands. Supervisors Bethea and Fritchoff, the special committee of the board appoint ed some months ago to check np Mr. Butler were present as witnesses for the prosecution, but on aoconnt of a legal technicality were not allowed to testify and this probably saved Mr. Butler’s scalp. These gentlemen, had they been allowed to testify, would have sworn that they took one of the raised docu ments to Butler and asked him how it come to be raised and Butler said he did it beoause he had to pay the sheriff that much more. Mr. Bethea informed us that they took only one of the docu ments to Mr. Butler and that he did not notice which one it was and could not swear to the exact case in which the admission was made and for that reason were not allowed to testify. The case was dismissed Friday evening and costs taxed to plaintiff, The Frontier will h&ye more to say about this case later. REPUBLICANS MEET IN CO. CONVENTION *?■* 1 *■ , ' A well represented convention of Holt county republican was held at the court house in this city on Monday. Chair man of the Central Committee Sturde vant called the convention to order at 11 a.tm, and the call was read by Secre tary Allen. Silas Rohr of Dustin was placed in nomination for temporary chairman and was elected by acclamation. Romaine Saunders was elected secretary. By vote of convention Chairman Rohr was instructed to appoint a committee of three on credentials. J. L. McDonald of Atkinson, O. W. Moss of Amelia and A. C. Powell of Stnart composed the committee. The temporary organiza tion was made permant and business proceeded. The various other oommit tees were: Resolutions—Frank Phillip a of Star, J. A. Rice of Stuart, D. H. Cronin of O’Neill and H. A. Allen of Atkinson. Order of business—R. R. Dickson of O’Neill, E. 'S. Oillmore of Ewing and i Jacob Kraft of Stuart. Adjournment was then taken till 1 o’clock. The first thing after dinner was the reading of reports by the committees. All but three or four townships were represented among the stack of creden tials and one or two townships came in after the committee reported. Chairman Phillips of the committee on resolutions reported the following, which was adopted: We, the republicans of Holt county, Nebraska, in convention assembled do hereby declare our faith renewed in republican principles. We endorse the platform as laid down at the national republican convention at Philadelphia on June 19. We cheerfully and hearti ly endorse the wise, patriotic and busi ness-like administration of President McKinley and pledge him our united support. We denounce the pratice of controling state and county offloes by the pool system. We call the attention of the people to the failure of fulfillment of the prophe sies iterated and reiterated by the so called great leader of the fusion forces, and we further call their attention to the fulfillment of the promises and pledges made bv tu'e republican party:* We unqualifiedly endorse the candid acy of Hon. M. P. Kinkaid for congress man from this district and pledge him ernest support. The nomination of two representa tives was then taken up. Thomas Sim inson of Shields was placed in nomina tion and the convention ratified the nom ination by acclamation. The selection of the next candidate took a little more time as two candidates, J. H. Meredith of O’Neill and E. S. Gillmore of Ewing, became prominent, while the third, 0. W. Moss of Amelia, declined to have his name used as a candidate. The sec retary was instructed to call the roll of townships on the vote. Mr. Gillmore lead from the start and it was moved that reading of roll be suspended and Mr. Gillmore be declared the nominee. The motion carried. A committee of three, B. E. Sturde vant, Frank Phillips and Ed Harding, to make up list of eleven delegates to the senatorial convention, was ap pointed. The following is the delegation as made up by the committee and accepted by the conven tion: C. W. Mosb, A. 0. Powell, Harry Ferguson, W. F. Olevish, 8. W. Green, E. E. Bowden, D. H. Cronin, Frank Phillips, J. B. Jack, B. E. Sturdevant and John Skinring. JL. C. Chapman of Atkinson was nom inated by acclamation for county at torney. Some warmth .was worked up over the selection of chairman of the county central committee. Dr. McDonald of Atkinson plaoed in nomination Mr. Dickson of O’Neill and Mr. Allen nom inated O. O. Snyder, also of O’Neill. Some discussion ensued over the two candidates and a roll of townships being called, Mr. Dickson was elected. It is only fair, however, to say that Mr. Snyder was not in the city and was not a candidate for the position. C. L. Bright was elected secretary of the committee. The committeemen for the various township are: Atkinson, Dr, McDonald. Chambers, W. S. Grimes. Cleveland, John Hort. Conley, August Schrier. Deloit, M. Davis. Dustin, Elias Rohr. Emmet, J. B. Marring. Ewing, S. W. Green. Fairview, Jesse Roy. Grattan, I. R. Smith. Green Valley, C, Mogle. Inman, Sam Davis. Iowa, George Cherry. Lake, John Otter. Paddock, R. E. Bowden. Pleasantview, George Ramer, Rock Falls, W. F. Clevish. Sand Creek, L. Loggerwell. 8cott, Peter Just. ' ^ Sheridan, T. A. Phillips. - Shields, C. Whetlaufer. Steel Creek, C. L. McElhanye Stuart, E. Opp. ' Swan, N. C. Johnson. Verdigris, D. C. Harrison. Willowdale, A. A. Swison. Wyoming, R. Root. 1 r O’Neill—1st w., R. H. Jenness; 3d w., C. N. Cole; 3d w., E. W. Stansberry. Francis, McClure and Shamrock were not represented, hence no committee* men selected from these townships. Judge Kinkaid being present, he was invited to address the convention and did so in a brief speech that brought ringing acolaim from the audience. It was an impromptu address but had all the rich embelishments and clearness of idea of a studied speech. The judge called attention to the phenominal de velopment of the eouutry in the last four years and how the republican party had redeemed every pledge made. The Frontier doesn’t believe in ex travagent statements, but to speak con servatively it can say that the almost orowded court-room was—barring a few fusion visitors—a unit for the success of the republican candidates from county attorney to president.

Its Mor mon temple, tabernaele, tithing office and ohnrch institutions; its hot and warm sulphur springs within the city limits; its delightfully temperate sunny olimate and its Great Salt Lake—deader and denser than the Dead Sea in Pales tine—are but a few features of Salt Lake City's countless attractions.
