no SHORT
LIKE TO ALLWCB
Sioux City Tribune: The extension
of the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western
road from O’Neill to Alliance, Neb., to
connect with the Burlington and. Mis
souri river system, has been determined
I upon by the Great Northern manage
I ment.
It isexpected that theextension will be
built next season, though in contracting
and railroad circles it is understood the
work would be let sooner if there should
come a period of more reaso nable prices
on steel. At any rate, the extension has
been finally determined, and the formal
announcement of it is expected in the
near future. Not only has the extension i
been determined, but the arrangements '
have been made between the Great Nor
thern and the Burlington systems for an I
exchange of traffic. The alliance is of
the defensive and offensive kind.
The Great Northern has the O’Neill
and Western on its hands, and must
make some use of it. An extension
toward the Black Hills country is the
natural conclusion. Alliance is in Box
Butte county, about 290 miles west of
O’Neill, on the Black Hills line of the
Burlington and Missouri River system.
Such an extension, it is needless to point
out, would not be made by President
Hill unless he was assured of such traffic
arrangements as would make it a good
property. The relations between Pres
ident C. £. Perkins, of the Burlington,
and President Hill, of the Great North
ern. are, both personally and in a busi
ness way, of the most friendly. There
is understood to be an alliance between
the two systems for protection of terri
tory in which both systems are interest
ed. Thus, if the two companies have
agreed, as seems to be pretty certain, to
effect a junction at Alliance, it must
mean an interchange of business which
would give Sioux City a direct connec
tion and through rates to the Hills
country.
The Judges Caught.
State Journal: The recent order of
Governor Poynter sent to the various
counties to enforce the game laws was
intended purely for political capital,
but in some localities it did not work
right. At Norfolk the first man nabbed
was a prominent fusionist who had in
his possession twenty-five prairie chick
ens, which called for a fine of $125. At
O’Neill two district judges were detect
ed slaying "stubble ducks.” An agent
of the state sportmen’s association was
after them, and it is said
that they had hard work
bluffing him. In the talk, if reports are
correct. Judge Westover said: "If you
arrest me Harrington will let me out on
habeas'corpus, and if you arrest him I
will let him out. If you take both of
us, wewii see that you go to the pen
itentiary."
The Fremont Tribune contains the
following about an O’Neill boy who
spoke at an oratorical contest at Fre
mont Wednesday of last week and won
second honors: "The last speaker in
the contest was P. J. Donohoe and he
spoke on “Spirit of Liberty.” He went
over the history of the world from an
cient times and showed how the growth
of liberty had come to such a point that
the great republic of the United States I
was made a possibility. Of the changes
that had been wrought in American
affairs Mr. Donahoe spoke with elo
quence. His presence was good and
his voice well placed. He was one of
the favorites with his hearers.
R. E. Jenness and wife, wlio have
been visiting here with their son, R. H.
Jenness, for the last month, left for
Chandler, Oka., yesterday morning.
They will stop one night and a day visi
relatives in Omaha and one night m El
Reno, Oka., arriving home Saturday
noon. Mr. Jenness came here very
much broken down in health, but with
ten days in Hot Springs, together with
our inyigorating climate and pure water,
he has entirely recovered. He was very
much pleased with this country. They
were accompanied by their daughter and
grand-daughter, who will visit for a
time, after which they will return to
their home in Seattle, Wash.
Crawford Gazette: Hon M. P. Kin*
kaid, republican nominee for conress in
this Sixth district, passed through this
part of the country this week. He
stopped off in Crawford on Thursday
tor a few hours, and met several of his
old friends. The Judge will arrange to
make use a more lengthy visit before
the campaign closes. There is not the
least doubt but that the judge will
roll up a big majority in this judicial
district, and in that case bis election is
certain.
Morrison—Kilmurry.
The nnptials of Mr. Robert R. Morri
son and Miss Nellie Kilmurry were cele
brated in this city last Monday moraine
at 6 o’clock at St. Patrick's Catholio
church, Rev. Father Jennett of Omaha
officiating. Although the marriage was
performed at an unusually early hour,
nevertheless, a large concourse of friends
were present to witness the ceremony
which joined together the destinies of
two of the popular young people of
O’Neill.
The bride was beautifully attired in a
rioh, white organdie, carrying a hand
some cluster of bride’s roses and present
ed a charming appearance. The brides
maid, Miss Margaret Hurley, wore a
dainty pink organdie and carried pink
roses. The groom and groomsman, Mr.
James Morrison, wore the conventional
black. After the ceremony the bridal
couple repaired to the home of the bride’s
parents, where a delightful wedding
breakfast was served. Only relatives
and Intimate friends of the contracting
parties ware present.
These young people are too well and
favorably known to call for any extend
ed comment at our hands. The bride is
the daughter of R. R. Kilmurry, one of
Holt county's most enterprising farmers.
She iB a young lady of many virtues and
accomplishments, having resided in
O’Neill from infancy. The groom is
head clerk at Neil Brennan’s hardware
store, and is a young man of exemplary
habits and business ability.
Mr. and Mrs. Morrison boarded the
morning train, amid showers of rice and
good wishes, for Omaha where they will
visit for a few days and on their return
home 'will be tendered a reception.
The Frontier congratulates this worthy
young couple and wishes them naught
of ill, and all of good that their fondest
dreams conceive.
HANS ALBERT.*
Mannheim Tageblatt, Germany: The
full, warm, soul-inspiring tone with
which he played a romance by Wagner,
the dash, fire and technical surety ex
hibited in Raff's Cavatina and the
"Hungarian Airs” by Ernst justly
brought him long continued applause.
San Francisco Chronicle: Albert sure
ly dcterves a place among the greatest
violinists of the world. Although evi
dently a master of technique his great
success with the audience last eyening1
was chiefly due to his large, sympathetic
tone and passionate playing.
American Musician: Hans Albert
met with a reception which amounted
almost to an ovation. He has a broad
and sympathetic tone, pure intonation
and a wonderful facility in the manage
ment of the bow. His playing, more
over, is imbued with an intensity and
warmpth of expression and poetic feel
ing which characterizes him as an artist
in the truest sense of the word.
♦At opera-house, O’Neill, Tuesday
evening, August 21.
Drs. Kinslowand Einslow.

osteopathy and have located here perm

amendable to that science.
The Atkinson base ballists are not ex
pected in O’Neill today to play the game>
arranged for. Atkinson thinks she was<
insulted on her last visit to the hub, but.
the probabilities are that there is some’
termidity at facing the O’Neill aggrega
tion in the ball arena the third time.
Says Atkinson to O’Neill:
"We wont play in your yard—
We don’t like you any more.
You’ll be sorry when you hear it
For we wont play ball any more.”

Rev. J. M. Bates will preach in the
Episcopal church next Sunday. Morning
services will be held at 10:90 and even

that a large attendance will be present.

RH INTO BY A
PASSENGER TRAIN
Intelligence of an aooident on the Elk
horn road at the crossing near John
Coffey’s about three miles west of town
on Tuesday night was received here
yesterday.
The particulars are hard to get at an
the ones injured were taken to Atkinson
and no one in the community of the
accident knows anything about it. John
Rotherham and brother were returning
to their home west of Emmet from
O’Neill between ten and eleven o’clock
that night. Just as they drove onto the
crossing the Black Hills passenger going
west struck them. The engineer brought
his engine to a stop as quickly as pos
sible and the trainmen hurried to the
scene of the accident. Both men were
alive and were taken aboard the train
and conveyed to Atkinson. One of them
was pretty badly hurt, but the other
received only slight bruises. Such is
the word that comes from Atkinson
concerning the two men.
O’Neill people who visited the scene
of the acoldent yesterday saw that both
horses had been killed, one lying on
each side of the track, and the wagon
was smashed to flinttera.

A Slimmer Trip.
Tbe trip to Halt Lake City by way of
the Rio Grande Western railway In con*
nectioo with the Denver & Rio Grande
or Colorado Midland roada la the grand*
eat in America. No European railroad
of equal length can oompare with it in
grandenr of scenery or wealth of novel
interest. Then Salt Lake City itself is a
most quaint and picturesque place and
well worth the journey to see. Its Mor*
mon temple, tabernacle, tithing office
and church institutions; its hot and
warm sulphur springs within the city
limits; its delightfully temperate sunny
climate 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. There are
parks, drives, canyons, and beautiful ,
outlying mountain and lake reaorta. Im
agine, if you can, a bath in salt water a
mile above sea level and in water in
which the human body cannot sink. In
