The Independent, "with eublime inno
cence,” comments on a column in the
Stuart Ledger under the head, "Back
haus Notes.” The Frontier is again
called upon to remark that perhaps Mr.
Eves of Amelia will be surprised to
learn that this same comment appeared
m the Gordon Journal a week before it
didin the Independent. But perhaps
the Independent’s intelligent composi
tor is to blame for "inadvertently" over
looking the introduction which Mr.
Eve6 can now explain was written to
"protect himself.” ,
Chambers Bogle; The; old settlers’
picnic was in every-sense a success.
The address of welcome by J. M. Alder
son is highly spoken of by those who
were present.. Numerous speeches
were made by those who many years
ago aided in making this part of* the
county destined to be the part. The
program was carried out as published
with Uncle Ralph as manager. The
chair was occupied by L. G. Lambert.
The music by the Chambers brass
band is reported to bare been of a very
high order, and elicited much praise.
Ewing Advocate: Monday C. T. Anson
and S. L. Whitmore of Venus were in
Ewing on the trail of Beven hogs which
had been stolen from Mr. Anson Friday
night. He identified them among a lot
of hogs which VanZandt Brothers bad
bought Saturday from Ed Lyons and
Frank Angus. As soon as it was known
that Mr. Anson was in town, Lyons
appropriated Mrs. Burlew’s pony and
commenced to make his get-away. He
was followed by Constable Finwall but
without success. Lyons turned the
pony loose several miles out and it re
turned home. Mr. Angus offered to
settle for bis son’s escapade but Mr.
Anson refused. Frank Angus claims
to be a victim of Lyons who he says is
the principal and real offender.
"Finnigan’s Ball” underlined for an
engagement in this city at the opera
house, September 26, has been a most
invigorating sueoess both financially and
artistically. In every city where this
combination has appeared, the theatres
have been tested to their utmost capac
ity and many turned away, unable to se
cure even standing room. There are
reasons for this truly wonderful success
of '"Finnegan’s Ball.” It is a farce
comedy, with a plot, introducing the
latest ideas in the way of novelities. It
is a play you can attend and witness
nothing that will offend or bore, and it
is. safe to say that you will not hear or
see a number, incident to the play that
was previously given by another com
pany. Everything—song, dance, med
ley and dialogue—was gotten up for
this production. Special scenery, me
chanical and electrical effects are car
ried intact for eaoh act, which enables
the management to offer a play perfect
in every detail.
Many Nebraska towns have exhibited
their enterprise during this month by
holding fairs or carnivals. The success
achieved and the benefit accrued to the
business interests of the towns has
been more than expeoted by the pro*
moters. This reminds The Frontier
that O’Neill business men are not keep
ing up to the times. Nothing is done to
draw trade or attract attention. No
harvest season should pass without
some effort made to furnish the profile
of the rural districts a ohance for a cele
bration. This will draw crowds to town
and be of material benefit, especially to
the merchants. Many towns have
adopted the street fair plan, beveral
days are given up to pageantry and
large crowds flook in, spend their good
money and go away feeling that they
have bad a good time. O’Neill could
build a hay palace and present a car
nival that would attract attention far
and wide. The Frontier would like to
see the business men of O’Neill fall in
line with the enterprising men ot the
state and toot the public horn a few
blasts.
DRS. KINSLOW
His Method of Treatment ▲ Boon to
Suffering Humanity.
We base our ability to locate and treat
disease on our perfect knowledge of the
anatomy of the human body and exist
ing pathological conditions. Osteo*
pathy stands alone. It has no equal;
It cures all curable diseases, except the
purely surgical.
The osteopath regulates the human
body aa a machine, a perfect machine,
oapable of running on indeflnatfly, if
kept in perfect order. If you are sick,
some part of your system is out of
order. If so, try the only natural, per
manent and satisfactory method of cure
—Osteopathy. It relieves pain, cor
rects nerve action, frees the circulation
of the blood and other fluids of the
body by adjusting displaced bones, liga
ments and muscles. It equalizes the
vital forces and restores harmony to
every part of the system.
It invigorates nutrition and assimila
tion and also gives perfect drainage for
the wastes of the organism. Many of
the most hopeless cases are cured by its
wonderful power. Osteopathy is the
great discovery of the age, and it cures
are affected by the application of unerr
ing laws.
The following is a list of some of ths
diseases amenable to this treatment:
Nervous diseases, asthma, rheumatism,
sciatica, lumbago, wry-neck, diseases of
the nose, throat and air passages,
oatarrb, deafness, loss of voice, eyeaffec
tions. stomach and liver diseases, di
arrhea and constipation, hip joint , and
all joint diseases, spine curvature paral
ysis, atrophy, varicose veins and ulcers,
eczema, swollen glands, heart disease,
kidney and bladder diseases, goitre,
piles, pimples and other blemishes of
the faoe, spasms and cramps, diseases of
women, painful menstruation and ir
regularities. Consultation and exami
nation absolutely free.
Page Items.
Cold weather Saturday reminds us
that'the season of grow this over. Every
thing is out of the way of frost.
George Hunter’s girl is quite sick.
Mrs. James Clark returned from New
York Wednesday evening. Mr. Clark
has moved his family to his ranch about
eight miles north of town.
Rev. Wilcox and family left Wednes
day morning for Iowa. They were ac
companied by Mrs. Retta Brown who
will make her future home with them
and attend school. Mr. Taylor has been
obliged to retire from pastoral duty on
account of his failing health.
A Sunday school picnic was enjoyed
by the old and young at Peterson's
grove last Saturday.
Rob Gallagher’s sale went off very
satisfactory Wednesday. Mr. Gallagher
will soon vacant his farm and move to
town and occupy the property recently
purchased of E. Adams.
J. Connelly has rented Bob Gallagher’s
farm.
Mr. Adams will soon move to O’Neill
from Page and the people of Page and
vicinity regret veiy much that Mr.
Adams finds it to his advantage to leave
Page as he will be greatly missed in bus
iness ciroles as well as socially. Mr.
Adams was one of the first business men
in this flat and by his upright dealing
and consideration of the people has won
the confidence and esteem of all.

ENGLISHMEN ABROAD. ,
Why They Are Disliked When Away
from Home.
Writes an Englishman: “One of ths
reasons which make us so much dis
liked as a nation abroad Is the' way
we carry our customs with us and ob
lige the foreigner, for the sake of his
own pocket, to conform to them. At
the watering places which are much
frequented by the English the hours
of meals slowly alter at the principal
hotels to suit the English taste. Wher
ever there la an English colony there
arises soon an English cricket club,
golf club, lawn tennis club, sometimes
a man’s club, and the little society ac
quire an unity and corporateness
which no other nation achieves. In
deference to the fact that the English
prefer to npeak their own language,
the hotel keeper, keen on attracting
English custom, engages English
speaking employes. The English come
and pay, take everything as a matter
of course, convey to the other nations
how much superior are the English
hours, ways, games and, above all,
that even In his own country the for
eigner is still the poor miserable for
eigner. Now the P. M. F. naturally
does not like any of this, and I believe
he hates the games worst of all. I
remember once, at a French watering
place, a party were playing golf on
some newly laid out links. A citizen
of the district walked across them and
stopped In front of the next hole In
order to observe what the mad Eng
lish were doing. The golfers yelled to
him In both languages to get out of
the way, but he did not budge. He
felt he was on his native heath, did
not understand the excitement and
wanted to Bee the end of It Finally
the girl, In a rage, gave a tremendous
drive. The ball whizzed along and
bounded unexpectedly .Into the amazed
citizen. He swore. How he swore and
danced! It was Impossible that he was
hurt, but it was the contumely of the
thing that enraged him. That a party
of despicable foreigners should dare
ireat a citizen of the most glorious
country in the world in such a way,
to bombard him with their vile balls
In his own country, on the soil of
France! It took two hours of bard
work to properly soothe him.”

Garrettson, of San Antonio, Tex., to lie
down when attacked by asthma, from
which he suffered for years. He writes
his misery was often so great that it
seemed he endured the agonies of death,
but Dr. King’s New Discovery for con
sumption wholly cured him. This mar
vellous medicine is the only known cure
for Asthma as well as consumption,
coughs and colds, and all throat, chest

It ia the popular belief in this coun
try that rice is the chief diet of the «
lower classes of China. This is er
roneous, for rice Is a luxury from their
point of view, because too costly for
every-day consumption. They eat
much pork, which costs little, for hogs
of raaor-back breed are plentiful ev- >
erywhere, and the pig is the domestic
animal par excellence. 8he sleeps In
the living room, recognises her name
and displays in her intelligence the in
herited results of centuries of train- te
lng. She litters twice a year, and of.'
her offlspring the males are fattened
while the females are sold or Kept
for breeding. The household porker
is a pet; she Is fed at every meal of
the family, foraging for herself at
other times in the streets and fields.
And it should be remembered that the
pig Is decidedly a clean animal when
properly kept Rev. Dr. Williams, in
his "Middle Kingdom,’* says that the
Chinese in the vicinity of Canton,
from whom are recruited nearly all of
the pig-tailed Immigrants to this coun
try, have a remarkable appetite for f
cats. One frequently sees pussies hang
ing, nicely dressed, in the butchers'
windows, the meat looking so white
and clean as to be almost appetising.
They are kept alive In the shops, too,
in cages ready for killing. Because
they are so prolific and find so much ’
of their own food, they can be raised
profitably. Cats' eyes are considered
a great delicacy by the rich, those of
black cats being regarded as choicest <• ■
and coi*mending the highest price.
Rats erad mice are seldom eaten, ex
cept in case of famine; they are too
hard to catch to be cheap. But among <«
the Chinese there is an old joke about
an imaginary dish called "honey and
squeak," made by Vtloelng a live ,
mouse in a piece honeycomb. ,,
Bean the
Signature
of
The Five-Clewed Dragon.
In China the fire-clawed dragon Is
the emblem of royalty. Usually It Is
pictured as arising from the -»e* and
clutching at the sun, thus expressing
the Idea of universal dominion. The
Emperor's person is called the dra
gon's body, his throne the dragon's
throne. To see the Emperor, a privi
lege allowed to hut few. Is to see the
dragon’s face. The Emperor’s crest Is
a dragon; a dragon appears on the
Chinese flag. The dragon Is called
"Lung" In China, and symbolizes all
that is Imposing and powerful. The
mass of the people believe In the dra
gon as an actual existence, and waste
much time and money In attempting
to propitiate the monster. The dragon
has been described by Chinese writers
as a most fearsome looking monster,
and they give It all sorts of extraordi
nary attributes.
