The Frontier has a good excuse for
being a little behind this week. Sam
Wolfe brought into our sanctum sanc
torum this morning a watermelon as
long as his arm and two feet in circum
navigation. Jack Harrington and
Charley Bright came in to see that the
force didn’t hurt themselves. It was a
peach, and until somebody shows us
different will hold that it is the best
of the season.
Grand Master O. O. Snyder, accom

noon drove to Orchard, where they in

time was had. The following were among
those that attended from this city: O. O.

includes the house in which Mr. and
Mrs. Kinch live and a little over four
lots, they reserving the other house and
a small piece of ground. Mr. Stewart
gets one of the prettiest places in the
city, one that is known by everybody
because of the beautiful yard. Mr.
Kinch says he expects to remain in
O’Neill or some other Nebraska town
until spring, and may then go to Cali
fornia.
The school board of Edinburgh has
taken up a work in education that
should be insinuated into the fabric of
the educational system everywhere. It
is making a special effort to stop the
practise of cigarette smoking by school
boys. Some of the things they say
might possibly be of value to American
school boys, and among them are these
statements: The practise prevents the
healthy development of their bodies;
sows the seeds of serious organic dis
ease—cancer and heart disease being the
worst; blunts mental faculties; ruins the
morals of the boys- smoking by stealth
leads to dishonesty, bad company, and
other serious consequences. They
close their appeal by the statement that
without the co-operation of the parents
in this matter, all the efforts of the
school board and teachers will be of
little effect in putting a stop to what
threatens to become a serious national
evil.

This, from the Norfolk News, will be
of interest to some of our readers:
“Dr. J. B. Maxfield, formerly presiding
elder of the Norfolk district, M. E.
church, but more recently presiding
elder of the Omaha district, and for
years a leader in the Methodist chuich
of Nebraska, died yesterday at
Boulder, Colo., where he had been
taken hoping for benefit to his failing
health. The body will be taken to
Ohio for interment and will pass through
Omaha tomorrow. The dootor has
many friends in Norfolk and will be re
membered as a very able preacher hav
ing spoken here a number of times and
always to good audiences. As a result
of a apopletic stroke the deceased has
not |been actively engaged in church
work for a number of years and was re
tired at the last session of the North
Nebraska conference held in Omaha
last year. He was a member of the first
board of regents of the Nebraska state
university.” __
What might have resulted disasterous
1 ly occurred Tuesday morning at Frank
Campbell’s implement building. The
upper story until recently has been un
occupied and a stovepipe run through
the floor from the office below. Lately
Dr. Kinslow established headquarteB in
the upstair rooms and to facilitate laying
i the doctor’s carpets toe stovepipe was
taken down in his room but left attached
to the stove below and still sticking in
the hole of the ceiling. Not knowing
of the change upstairs, Clarence Camp
bell lit some papers in the stove and the
rusult was a cloud of flame and smoke
in the doctor’s room. Dr. Kinslow hap
pened to be in the room at the time and
a general conflagration was averted.

O’Neill vs. Creighton.
The O’Neillitea went to Creighton laat
Thuraday to play two return gamea of
ball with the Creighton team. The
O'Neill boya loat both gamea, but name
home feeling good and were loud in
their praiaea of the hoapitality extended
them bv the people of Creighton. The
following account of the gamea we clip
from the Creighton Daily Courier:
FIR8T GAME.
A Urge crowd gathered at the ball
grounds at 2 o’clock yesterday to see
O’Neill and Creighton play their third
game. The game was not began until
almost 3 o’clock. The people were very
enthusiastic and anxious to see It open.
O’Neill went to the bat first, and for
the first six innings a finer game could
never be asked for. After a change in
the position by some of the players the
scores began to pile up like hot cakes.
A number of phenominal plays were
made on both sides, miugled with
many errors. The Cracker jacks did fine
work. Following is the score:
Creighton
O’Neill....
.0 2 o 0 1 3 11 8 *-10
0 3000070 0— V
Batteries: Creighton—Caley, Eegley,
Finson and Hufsmith; O’Neill—Haynes
and Alberts. Struck out by Haynes, 1;
Caley, 3; Kegley, 1.
SECOND GAME.
The ball game at the fair grounds yes
terday was the best witnessed in this
section of the country for some time.
The game was called at 11 o’clock with
O’Neill at the bat, and during the first
four innings but one score was tallied
on a side. At the last half of the
seventh the score was 0 to 8 in O’Neill’s
favor, and our boys knew what had to
be done; so with a few safe hits and
Jack Green to the bat the game was
won. The battery work was good on
both sides and many good plays were
made. The best point of the game was
the treble play in the first inning by P.
Green to Stoop to J. Green. The O’Neill
boys are a fine lot of fellows and play
gentlemanly ball, and their loss yester
day was one that no team should be
ashamed to own. The game throughout
was head work and very interesting.
The score sums up as follows:
Creighton.1 0 0 0 1 1 4 0 *—7

Called Again.
Stuart, Nebraska, Sept. 6, 1900: Ed
itor Ledger.—My name appeared in a
recent issue of the O’Neill Independent
in a list of names that purported to be
an old soldier’s Bryan club. It was
placed there without my knowledge or
authority. I have always been a repub
lican and stronger in faith now than
ever before and can see no reason why
I should desert my comrade in arms,
Hon. William McKinley.
John Hoffman.
The above from the Stuart Ledger
shows that the Bryanites use names
without authority in an attempt to
bolster up their cause. But methods of
this kind will not assist them when the
votes accounted.
Notice.
The republican electors of Grattan
township are hereby called to meet in
the republican club rooms in .O’Neill on
Saturday afternoon, September 15, 1900,
| at 3 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of
placiog in nomination a township ticket
and transacting such other business as
may come before the meeting.

ROBERTSON OR ROTO
NAIED FOR SENATOR
Thirteenth district republicans met in
a well represented and healthy conven
tion in O'Neill Inst Saturday for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for sen
ator. The convention was called to
order by Chairman D. C. Harrison and
organized by electing Frank Nicols
of Garfield chairman and W. 8. Green of
Holt foi secretary. The preliminaries
being out of the way the convention
proceeded to business by naming the
following committees:
Credentials—D. C. Harrison, D.*H.
Cronin and R. E. Bowden.
Resolutions—D. H. Cronin, John
Skirving and D. C. Harrison.
The committee on credentials reported
Holt, Boyd and Garfield represented and
Wheeler without representation.
Nominations being in order, D. H.
Cronin placed in nomination 8. G.
Robertson of Spencer, Boyd county,
and the nomination was seoonded by
Harrison of Holt aud Nichols of Gar
field. There being no other nominations
Mr. Robertson was declared the nom
inee of the convention by acclamation
Mr. Robertson was allowed to select his
committee and did so in the perrons of
D. C. Harrison of Emporia as chairman
and D.H. Cronin of O’Neill as secretary.
The senatorial committee was made up
as follows:
Holt—R. J. Marsh.
Garfield—F. R. Nichols.
Wheeler—Judge Hassburn.
Boyd—T. 8. Armstrong.
The result of the convention was
highly gratifying to republicans, who,
with a strong candiate for the senate
and two of the best citizens of Holt
county for the house and considering
the split in the fusion ranks, enter the
legislative fight with every prospect to
win, notwithstanding the large adverse
majority to overcome.
Samuel 0. Robertson.
Mr. Robertson is a native of Indiana,
in which state he was born in the year
1841. The (treater part of his life up to
1885 was spent in Ohio, where he served
five years as connty treasurer of Pauld
ing county. Mr. Robertson was a
student at the academy at Newville,
Indiana, when the war broke out. He
then enlisted as a private in company
G, Fourteenth Ohio Volunteers, and
was brevetted first lieutenant for gal
lentry in service. In 1884 he was named
alternate by the Ohio convention to the
republican national convention that
nominated James Q. Blaine for president.
In 1885 he came to Holt county. In
1801 he removed to Boyd county and en
gaged in farming near Spencer, where
he now resides. His private ard public
character are untarnished and his per
sonal appearance and ability commands
the respect of strangers and gives con
fidence to his friends.
Mr. Robertson will no doubt prove a
popular candidate in Boyd county as
aside from his merit as a candidate he
is the only legislative candidate they
have an opportunity to vote on there
this fall; they were turned down in all
the other conventions. Moreover, Mr.
Robertson will get a large vote throughout
the entire district and his chances for
election are good.
A nice rain fell Monday.

A Farm of Wild Beasts. ' ;
A novel farming'scheme Is on foot
Its object Is to raise wild animals la
captivity, so that circus managers may
not have to scour foreign lands to1
procure them. Wild animals In trop
ical countries are fast decreasing In
number, and it Is feared that halting
and the Increase of populates* will
soon exterminate them. The Sta la
to provide a regular farm for the tala
lng of animals that hitherto have been
procured only from hunters. Hill :
than two years ago a thousand aeren ,/ *}.
of land was purchased In Scwthern '
Florida for the carrying ont of tha
scheme, but the whole country rcrod - ;
about was roused to Indignation at the
thought that ferocious wild beasts
were to be turned loose In the neigh- • ' s
borhood. The scheme was consequent
ly abandoned, so far as that location
was concerned, but negotiations were
entered Into for the purchase of sev
eral small Islands not far from the .
Florida coast. The war with 8paln '
delayed the completion of the pur
chase, but eventually three Islands
about six thousand acres each were se
cured. They are ideally looated for
animal farms. There Is no fsar of the
beasts crossing over to the mainland,
and the Islands are Car enough apart
to deter the Inhabitants of any one
island from paying an unwelcome visit
to another. It will thus be easy to
divide the animals into three classes
according to their ability to get along
together, and to give each class an Isl
and to itself. It Is said that when the
scheme is perfected the farms will be
as homelike as It Is possible to make
them, and that experts will be In
charge of each. The animals will be „ —;
America, and turned loose in their new
homes. Parts of the islands are
wooded, .and In some there Is thick
undergrowth that will make a fair
imitation of a jungle. An animal
hospital is part of the scheme. Al
ready expeditions are being fitted out
to search for the animals.
The South Eork Fair association will
hold its twelfth annual fair at Chambers,
Nebraska, September 25, 26, 27 and 28.
Liberal cash premiums will be awarded
on live stock and farm products. Rac
