Receipt from clerk of district
court for costs in Hayes judg
ment. 17 43
Total amount.$5700 30
All of the above >eceipts will be found
in the county treasurer’s miscellaneous
receipt book, and you will also find that
I have filed in the office of the county
clerk of Holt county, a duplicate receipt
in each case, as required by law. 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,

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.

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

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.

Fire bu again left a grewsome traok
in O’Neill. 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.
