Work on the convent is progressing

finish up this week. A tinner from
Omaha is here putting on the cornice
and as soon as the rafters are placed the
work of putting on the slate roof will
commence. It is expected that
two of the school rooms ready for oc
cupancy not later than September 10.
The youths of O’Neill are nothing if
not ingenious. Yesterday they organ
ized a circus, gave a street parade and
loudly proclaimed from the head ot the
procession that it only took the enor
mous sum of one cent to secure admit
tance to the big show. It was an amus

The Independent, which double leads
a couple columns a week to The Fron
tier with Frontier leads and never has
a news item, slopped over its chases last
week with a half column trying to
make a white mouse look like a black
elphant. The Frontier is duly grateful
that the Independent produced the par
agraph from this department at the
head of its singular comment.
—
The townships of Atkinson and
Chambers voted on issuing bonds for the
new railroad last Saturday. The prop
osition was lost in Atkinson by a big
majority, and although carried on the
face of the returns in Chambers it in
reality was lost there also. O’Neill, of
coarse, is blamed for the whole thing,
but bless their dear hearts O’Neill oared
not if they voted bonds or no. It cost
us no trouble nor money.
me uoii county leacuers institute
convened Monday. The enrollment up
to today is 106. The educational work
ers express themselves as highly grati
fied with the work thus far and speak in
the highest terms of the instruction
given by the various instructors. Last
evening Prosessor Owens, superintend
ent of the O’Neill schools, gave a lecture
on philosophy. Next week Chancellot
Andrews writes that he will be here for
an evening lecture.
The populists had quite a contest in
the Grattan township caucus last Satur
day. The contention was over the
candidacy for supervisor. 'There were
two candidates, John Coffey from the
west end and John P. Sullivan from the
east end of the township. Sullivan won
out on the delegation and it is under
stood that he will be nominated and
contest for the election with the repub
lican nominee, R. J. Marsh, although it
would not surprise the wiseacres to see
him turned down and a dark horse
nominated. But it is immaterial who
they select as Mr. Marsh is sure to be
elected.
On Wednesday evening, August 29,
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Sherry’s peerless
musicians, vooalists and dancers will
appear at the opera-house in a program
of exceptional interest, consisting of the
latest and most popular selections an the
banjo, mandolin and guitar. Prof.
Sherry was two years instructor of
string music at the Colorado State Uni
versity and as a soloist has no superior
and but few equals in America. All
lovers of string music should not fail to
hear him. Beautiful ballads, latest ooon
I songs, artistio songs and dances, Irish
reels, etc., dancing and playing upon the
banjo at the same time. Everything re
fined, artistio, instructive and strictly up
to date, Admission 15, 25 and 85 cents.
Reserved 3eats at usual place.
A good sized adudience greeted
Oharles Peterson’s Concert company at
the opera-house Tuesday evening. Their
program consisted of violin, piano and
vocal music and each number was
roundly cheered, and the performers
more than once responded to encores.
Mr. Albert handles the violin charming
ly and his O’Neill audience was much
pleased with his playing. The soprano,
Mrs. Wagner-Thomas, is not a stanger
here. She was formerly a resident of
this city, her husband being connected
with the State bank. Her singing vyas
highly pleasing as was shown by the
many times she was recalled to the stage.
A piano selection by Miss NellieHagerty
of this city was one of the pleasing
features of program. Walter and Willie
Laviollette of this city also played in a
yiolin trio with Mr. Albert.
The Independent a couple of weeks
ago made the announcement that Patrick
Oagahan had been selected as one of the
vice presidents of the Holt County
Bryan Veteran club. About the same
time a message was sent to the Omaha
World-Herald announcing that Mr.
Oagahan was among the life-long repub
licans of this community who had de
serted the republican party and joined
the Bryanites. Mr. Oagahan requests ns
to denounce the story as false and says
he is a stronger republican today than
ever before and a loyal supporter of his
old comrade-in-arniB,PresidentMcKinley,
and the hero of San Jaun, gallant, dash
ing, fearless Teddy RooseveK. Stories
of this kind are manufactured in all
parts of the state by the Bryanites and
scattered broadcast, the evident intent
being to deceive and to lead voters to
believe that many are deserting the party
of progress and prosperity and affiliating
with the democrats, the party of anti
progress, anti-freedom—as the • recent
election in South Carolina will testify—
anti-American and anti everything but
the offices. But it will not work.
Bryanism and all that it signifies will
be buried so deep next November that
not even the scorching rays of a mid
summer sun can resurrect it.
The Neligh Advocate has undertaken
to set the world right as to the people of
O’Neill and said last week that it “is in
receipt of many compliments from At
kinson xegarding the stand it has taken
on the O’Neill game law viola
tion.” Now everybody knows Atkinson
would forego the opportunity of a new
railroad in order to talk mean about
O’Neill and it is not surprising that
she has gone to Neligh with a gossip
ping tongue. She has evidently found
an attentive ear down there. Again the
Advocate says: "We are glad to know
that there are some in Holt county who
are not in sympathy with the spirit that
prevades at O’Neill.” The esteemed Ad
vocate simply don’t know what it is
talking about. In the firBt place there
has been but one man arrested for
shooting chickens; he was not an
O’Neill man by about twenty-five miles,
and no evidence could be produced
against him. Further there has been no
wholesale arrests of law breakers nor no
orpnpritl nnrininiF rtf mp.n trt nprann thfi
prairie chicken such as the Advocate
is trying to impress upon its readers.
But to say that there are no chickens
killed before September 1 here or at
Atkinson or Neligh is folly. But The
Frontier brands as a lie the Atkinson
Neligh concoction that O’Neill people
are a set of lawbreakers. The trouble of
this whole fool business is the changing
of the game limit to September 1. It is
merely for the benefit of eastern Nebras
ka and Iowa hunters, who keep their
emissaries out in the chicken districts
during the “ripening” season to keep
the people who live there from doing
any shooting, and the moment the law
expires these hunters are on the grounds
and kill chickenB by the hundreds to
ship to Omaha and Sioux City. In justice
to the people whose grain fields fatten
the chickens the law expiring August 15
should be restored.

Dies of Typhoid.
HARDING—Susie C., wife of L. E.
Harding, died August 20,1900, of ty
phoid fever, at her home 12 miles
north of O’Neill, age 23 years.
Mrs. Harding bad been ill for about
three weeks, and was constantly under
the care of a doctor and an experienced
nurse. She was believed to be beyond
recovery some days before death came,
but again revived and fears were dispell*
ed. A short time before her death a
sudden change for the worse came and
death shortly followed.
Susie C. Hamilton was born in Mil
waukee, Wis., June 20, 1872, and came
to Albion, Neb., with her parents at the
age of ten years. In 1890 she was mar
ried to L. E. Harding, who, with five
chiidern, eldest nine years and youngest
nine months, survives her. Mrs. Hard
ing was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Hamilton, her father being
county judge of Boone county and her
mother being dead.
The funeral wee held Tuesday at the
Presbyterian church in this oity, con
ducted by Rev. Beckes. Deceased was
a member of the Congregational church.
Mr. Hamilton of Albion, father of de
ceased, and J. £. Harding of Moville,
To., brother of L. E. Harding, were in
attendance at the funeral.
The bereaved husband and motherless
children have lost a maternal gem from
their home, but in the darkest hour of
human sorrow there is still a sweet con
solation in the One who binds up the
broken hearts and speaks the living
words, "I am the ressurection and the
life.” _
Note of Thanks—Words are bnt feeble
agentB to express the feelings of gratitude
of those who are lead down into the
dark shadows when friends administer
with tender sympathies and untiring
hands- My neighbors and friends have
been more than kind; they have devot
edly helped me. I thank you all.—L.
E. Harding.
Finnigan Works Them.
Bassett Eagle: A young man by ths
name of Dan Finnigan, hailing from the
vicinity of O’Neill and bearing the ap
pearance of an ordinary laboring man
spent a few days in Bassett last week
working (?) on the railroad with section
foreman Chris Grebe. He oarelessly
hinted that he could run a little, and as
Bassett, like many othern western towns,
has in her midst young atheletes who
make some pretensions in this line, it
did not take long to arrange the prelimi
naries for a race. The money was pat
up and the race came off last Saturday.
The betting was not very heavy as our
sporting fraternity were a little sus
picious of the Btranger, although his ap
pearance would not indicate much speed
but when he stripped down to a neat
running suit all who had money on the
local Bprinter would have been glad for
an opportunity to hedge. The distance
run was seventy-five yards, and the pro
fessional (which he proved to be) won
the race by about a foot. The race was
close enough to make it interesting, but
it is the opinion of some of our sports
men that the stranger could easily have
beaten Mac several.

UU, WUlIiCU,
In our hours of ease.
Uncertain, coy
And hard to please,
Why do you
Bold your dresses so, ,
When on the streets
You’re pleased to go?
Say, ladies,
Aie yo quite aware
The way you hold them
Makes folks stare
And wonder
Not a little bit,
If they are made
So tight to fll ?
Or are you
To their snugness blind,
Because you cannot
See behind,
To learn why people
Grin and.pause?
Or do you
Do it “just because?”
If you are
Thin it’s not so bad,
When you are somew&ot
Thickly clad;
But if you
Have a figure—why,
W ords fail to tell
What meets the eye.
Dear woman,
Whosoe’re it be
That makes the visions
Which we see,
Correct it.
Please, this very day,
And hold your skirts
Some other way.

OHM JIN
IS Ml DEI
Early arrivers up town this (Thurs
day) morning saw a ghastly sight
at Undertaker Biglin’s establishment.
A man with his clothing on lay
stretohed out on a board dead. The
blackened face, slightly open eyes and
mouth, drops of moisture on the skin
and hands tied with a chord across the
breat, formed a sinister object around
which a crowd of men assembled in
quiring for particulars.
The dead man was brought in from
Inman early this morning. He is un
known. Yesterday evening he landed in
Inman on a stook train. He bought a
ticket there for O’Neill, evidently in
tending to go out on the night passenger.
He sat down upon the depot platform
and shortly it was observed that the
man had fallen over dead. Coronor
Kline was summoned from O’Neill and
an inquest held. The verdict was heait
disease. A little incident occurred
which caused some suspicion of suicide.
The stranger was sitting near the station
pump and when someone came for a
drink he remarked that they better
wash the cup as he had taken medicine
from it.
The dead bod) is in the charge of Mr.
Biglin, who is endeavoring to learn
something to Identify it. There was
nothing abont the clothing to disclose
his name and the only things found
about his person were 25 cents, the ra<l
road ticket and two small pieces of lead
pencils. Two strangers who were in the
city this morning said they had seen
this man at Chadron and at Valentine.
Mike Kirwin also thinks he recognizes
him aB belonging in Valentine and that
he believes his name is Mike Fitzgerald.
It is also stated indefinitely that a
brother-in-law of the dead man, William
Cavanaugh by name, lives near Valen
tine. Mr. Biglin has wired to that town
but has received no word at this writing.
The man is rather tall, sandy mus
tache and was poorly clad.
Later—Mr. Cavanaugh came down
from Valentine Friday. He says tb<
dead man is a stranger to him.

A Sommer Trip.
The trip to Salt Lake City by way of
the Rio Grande Western railway in con
nection with the Denver & Rio Grande
or Colorado Midland roads is the grand
est in America. No European railroad
of equal length can compare with it in
grandeur 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 ohnrch institutions; its hot and "t
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. Thera are
parks, drives, canyons, and beautiful i
outlying mountain and lake resorts. 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
