Among the above amounts and receipts given, no receipt will be found on record in either the office of the county treasurer or office of the county clerk for the $1,000 given. The only receipt that will be found in this case is the receipt given me by Ed F. Gallagher, cashier of the First National bank, for $950 cash and the same amount endorsed on the big bridge warrant No 35, and the other $50, to which I am entitled to credit on J^iis balance being represented by the discount of 5 per cent., or the $50 before mentioned. The treasurer’s receipt No 120 for $405.04 is made up of $300 paid me by M. F. Harrington on the Hazelel judg ment No 4022 and paid by John McHugh and D. A. Doyle, and was not paid into the county treasury for the reason that the county, at that time, was owing me between $300 and $400, and I retained this money with the knowledge and consent of the old county board, and afterwards with the knowlodge and consent of the present board, especially with the consent of the chairman of your board, and other members, it being agreed that I should pay the money into the treasury when my claims against the county should be allowed in full—that is, up to date. Iu referring to the Rody J. Hayes judgment, the judgment record will not show any payment or any receipt by me for this money, $90. Hayes paid the full amount of the judgment against him for money retained by him, but failed to pay the costs of the prosecution. Asa matter of fact Hayes offered to pay the county and made a tender of $150 in open court, which would have avoided the costs taxed against him had his tender been a lawful tender, but the court decided that he did not offer the ca^h and for that reason the tender was not lawful, and as he left without set tling the costs his bondsmen were liable For this reason the proceeds collected on this judgment should have been paid in on the costs of the case, but the county had already paid all costs, except $17.48, which amount of costs I paid out of the $90 collected from the bonds men, and the receipt for this $17.48 will be found in fee book of the clerk of the district court office. The h»l«m>« nf the money 1 paid into the general fund of the county. In the case of the state of Nebraska vs Thomas Carberry et al.f being the case against Tom Carberry who was convicted of the larceny of cattle and who left the county, being out on bail pending the hearing of a motion for a new trial, the property of his bondsmen was attached and costs aggregating $308.88 had accrued at the time I went into office. This action was settled by the county board and the bondsmen, the bondsmen putting up $100 cash anl giving notes, secured by chattle mortg age, for $150. Of the $100 cash paid in I received a receipt for the full amount. Of the $100 received and receipted for by me I paid C W Hamilton $95, as will appear in fee book 10, page 166, clerk of the district court’s office. I paid the bulance, $5, to John Skirving, clerk of the district court, as will appear in same V book and page. The notes for $150 I still have. Referring back to the balance of the $405.04, receipt No 120, $100 of this amount was paid to me by check given by Arthur Cruise, December 2, 1898, with the agreement that I was not to pay it into the treasut^ or make a iecord, without his permission or con sent, but the private reason for his desiring this done having been removed I have paid the same over to the county treasurer. In regard to this last feature —the $100 Cruise matter—the members of the county board were informed by me at the time fully, in regard to this matter, and your honorable body has also been informed by myself of the facts as above stated long ago, (Report continued.)

Address, The Journal at Lincoln, Neb. At the Catholic church Wednesday morning was celebrated the marriage of Mr. John J. Harrington and Miss Anna Stanton, both of this city. Rev. Father Cassidy officiating. Wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s parents, who reside five miles northwest of town. The young couple departed on the ten o’clock traiu for a visit to Omaha and Sioux City, a large number of friends accompanying them to the train, which they boarded admid a shower of rice and words of good wishes. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Stanton and is a young lady of many charming qualities. The groom is a rising young business man ot this city, operating a general store. Mr. and Mrs. Harrington have a large circle of friends who join with The Frontier in extending congratulations. John McKenna died at his home in O’Neill last Friday morning. The fun eral occurred Saturday from the Catholic church. Although advanced in years and for a long time not in good health, the death of Mr. McKenna was rather sudden. He had been in bed most of the time for two or three days but a short time before he died got up, dress ed, walking around a little and returned to his bed, and soon after passed away. Mr. McKenna was born in Ireland. He had resided in or near O’Neill for a good many years, conducting a black smith shop here until poor health and advanced years compelled him to dis continue active work. A wife, four sons and two daughter survive him. There is no specific remedy known for germ diseases. They are cured by the vitality of the patient, and it is upon this theory that the osteopathic work is done. Pure blood is the best germioide known, and the osteopathic method purifies the blood by stimulating the activity of the organs of execretion and by stimulating the strength of the pa tient, and in certain ways relieves the condition by aiding the free circulation of the blood and lympha to and from the uffected part. This method is logical from a phys iological standpoint and better proof it gets results. Drs. Kinslow. Office over F. Campbell’s store. Call and see us. Printers’ Auxiliary: D. II. Cronin, editor of the O’Neill Frontier, issues the neatest ,country weekly on the line of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad. The editorials are terse, the ad-sinith an original genius, the make-up alert and onto his job, and the pressman a dandy for neatness and register. It is a pleasure to speak of a matter of this kind when the average country weekly is issued, in too many cases in a careless, slipshod manner. The docket for the November term of court has been printed by The Frontier the past week, being delivered to the clerk on Tuesday. There are 104 pages of docket proper whith the same number of blanks, eighteen pages of index and three other printed pages, making the total number of forms necessary for printing 112. Five days were spent in printing the book. I keep all kinds of huskers’ supplies. Now is the time to get your pick. Neil Brennan. 16-tf HID AND ROOSEVELT WIN . AND REPUBLICANS GAIN EVERYWHERE The battle of ballots is over and republicanism is triumphant through out the state and nation. Even Holt, which for years has been recognized as one of the banner populist coun ties of the state, giving Bryan a ma jority of 555 in 1890, let him out this year with only 132 majority. Great, wasn’t it. Poynter ran ahead of Bryan, carrying the county by about 170. The rest of the state ticket ran along between Bryan and Poynter. Judge Kinkaid received a splendid vote, carrying the county with a ma jority of 79. A year ago he lost the county by 90. The residents of O’Neill paid him a deserved compli ment, as he received a majority of 72 in the city, carrying every ward. The contest for county attorney tvas a nice one, and it is asserted that had Mullen made one more speech like the one at the court house a couple of weeks ago he | would have been defeated, but he j refrained from such utterances and j managed to scratch through with a majority of about 05. Mullen lost O’Neill by 19 votes, and Chapman carried Atkinson by 102. He made a noble fight. i The vote on state senator was not as close as on the other candidates, Campbell receiving a majority of about 350 and is elected. Waring was elected representative with a majority of about 150. Simon son lost a number of votes on ac count of his position on the ballot, several republicans voting for only one candidate. The contest between Coppac and Gilmour is so close that the official count will have to decide it. On the face of the unofficial re turns Coppac is about 4 votes ahead. Moler, pop., defeated ltohr for supervisor in the first district by about 40. In the third district R. J. Marsh, rep., climbed over a populist majori ty of about 150 and landed the office by a majority of seven over Sullivan. The pops used all the big guns of war in an effort to defeat Marsh, but his followers stood the assault nobly and stood with their lender to vic tory. Marsh carried each ward in the city. The First by 15, the Sec ond by 4, and the Third by 39, mak ing hi3 majority in the city 58. Sullivan came out of Grattan with only 51 majority, or seven less than enough to laud the prize. In the Fifth district Kramer, rep., of Stuart, defeated Itebery, fusion, of Atkinson, by about 30. In the Seventh district the con testants, W. B. Cooper, pop., and Grimes, rep>, are tied on the unof ficial returns and they will probably have to draw lots to see who ^ill serve the county. Grimes should have been elected and would hav > if the republicans in Conley township supported their party candidate in stead of voting for Cooper. McKin ley got a substantial majority there four years ago and then republicans gave Cooper a majority of eleven. As a whole the result in the coun ty is very gratifying to republicans and clearly demonstrates that popu lism is on its last legs in Holt coun ty. The republican gains in the county since 1890 are about 485, and a populist gains about 05. At this ratio it is evident that populism will never again be triumphant in Holt county elections, and they don’t de serve to be. The returns are coming in very slowly from the Sixth congressional district, and the result on congress man is in doubt. Ten counties have been heard from, Kinkaid carrying nine of the ten. The following coun ties have been reported and carried by Kinka d with stated majorities: Holt, 79; Boyd, 102; Brown, 110; Keya Paha, 20; Cherry, 150; Box Butte, 200; Garfield, 11; Cheyenne, 199. Total, 871. Neville carried Sheridan county by 130, leaving Kin kaid 741 majority in the counties so far heard from. These counties last year gave Neville a majority of 9 votes. The counties heard from cast about one-third of the district and if the same ratio of gains Is maintained in the other counties Kinkaid has won. A Beautiful Present.

A little more than a year from the time of the terrible fire that destroyed Deyarman’s and Baker’s livery barns the barn and livery property of P. D. & T. P. Mullen meet a simillar fate. Wednesday morning at shortly after 3 o’clock the alarm was sounded and peo pie sprung from their beds and rushed out to see where the lire was. Many men were still up town getting election returns and a crowd waa soon assembled at the econo of disater. It ts not known how the lire originated. The livery hand had been asleep in the office, but a short time before the fire waa discovered had got up to let a man from the country have his team. The Are was .so well under way by the time the fire company and crowd got there that little could be done in the way of rescuing horses and other property and only six bead of horses with one carriage were saved. Fortunately there was little or no wind so that a general conflagration did not result along that street. But as it waa the two-story building to the east of the barn, known as the Oiddings building, burned and the residence of Neil Bren nan on the west wasbadly damaged. For a lime the flames rolled so fierce it was thought impossible to save the Brennan place and the contents of the house were thrown and carried out without regard for doors and windows. As the furry of the burning pile gradually subsided, Mr. Brennan’s house was left standing with a scorched side and several windowlesa windows and doorless doors. The heat was intense and the groans of agony from the horses. mingled with the crackling of the flames. The fire boys stayed with the Are and did noble work in keeping it from spreading to other buildings. The total loss will amount to $4,000 if not more. Mr. P. D. Mullen says their loss is 33.000, with $450 in surance. Twenty-seven head of horses were burned, sixteen of them belonging to the Mullen boys. They also lost seventeen sets of harness, eleven bug gies and carriages and the hearse. A horse and a buggy belonging to Dr. Flynn were burned, four horses belong ing to a Boyd county mao, Jim Bren nan a horse and saddle and Andrew Clark a team and harness. The building to the east of the barn which was burned was in use by Hotel Evans, the upper story for sleeping apartments and the lower as a sample room. There was some small loss of furniture. The Mullens will re-build. FOR SALE—BE*, Sec. 4, township v-sQ 29, range 12. Oood improvements con sisting of 40 acres of pasture, good house and out bnildings, 120 acres under cultivation.
