The Frontier. FVBUfHBD BVERY THURSDAY BY tut FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY D. H. CRONIN. Editor. ROMAINk SAUNDERS, Ailoclatc. Mrs. Nation still raises h—1 and -nation. O’Neill real estate is a thing not to sneezed at. Mrs. Nation is the second Kansas * reformer to climax their career by editing a newspaper. -e-e#*", The man from Amelia has woq " derfnl influence in his party. That was demonstrated at the connty board meeting Saturday. .. . ^ . They say a wooden man is of no aeoount but a man named Wood cat considerable '‘ice” with the pop eonnty board last Saturday. It is safe to say that O'Neill’s population has had a greater in crease since the oensus than the loss amounted to the previous ten years. -- The Kudahy kidnapping case seems to be one of those evolutions of humanity that will go down in history with the oelebrated saying: “Who killed Billy Patterson? ” --— The Illinois legislature is con aidering a measure for the disfran - chisement of Ohicago, that city to become one of the sovereign states of the union, separate from Illinois. .... -- ► —— The Ewing Advocate will be the offioial county paper this year, and Editor Wood will propably see that no more of his claims for priuting proceedings are marked “rejected.” --—-—» «»»«- — -..— The Dakota County Eagle gets no better fast. The last issue contained at least four stolen items of “heavy” matter. An editor that will do that wouldn’t be a safe character around aohieken yard. ---►***-*— With a circulation of 250 in Holt county it is hard to see how the tax payers are going to keep accurate tabe on the work of the county board by publishing the proceedings in the Ewing Advocate. I . -r~—-*T.' « i The Sunday issue of the Sioux City Journal contains regularly a sermon-editorial with words from Holy Writ as a text. Editors of the average religious weekly that raise a cry against Sunday papers oan get muoh good religious instruction from reading the Sunday Journal. . The Kansas joint smasher has achieved fame and notoriety by her fanatical crusade and will now pro bably ..torn, it to acoount in an attempt to replenish a slack purse bj taking to the lecture platform. .“E’gad,” as John J. would say, there’s probably a method in her madness. -■»—«»-»■ ■ ■ -- The legislature seems to be hope lessly deadlocked upon the leading senatorial candidates, and The Fron tier 'would suggest that they select Judge Kinkaid from the North Platte country and some able rep resentative republican from south of the river, elect them and stop their d—n foolishness.. • Alliance Pioneer Grip: Some V men are eo crazy for a little official recognition themselves that the) imagine all that other men think about ia how to get an offioe. An office with enough in it to warrant y a mao devoting hia entire time and energies to the pnblio service is one ' thing and an office simply to give some fellow prominence in news papers ia another. The olass of men seeking the prominence and alleged *-•' honors of little offices are usually those whose talents are of a very di minutive order. While these positions moat be filled by some one, yet what little honor ia attached to them is where people make selection from a sense.of fitness themselves rather being bored by parties seeking The eyes of the republicans of the country are centered on Nebraska, watching with interest the senator ial contest. The words of Senator Hanna, “in the interests of harmony and the election of two senators in Nebraska, every sacrifice should be made by the candidates,” is good advice, but to make the candidates soo it that way—there’s the rub. -- State Treasurer Stuefer has issued a call for the payment of $85,IKK) of the general fund warrants. Time was, not so very long since, under a populist administration, when such calls were paraded in the fusion press under scare head lines. Now if they get a position in these papers in uonpareiltypeatbotto.il of column next to advertising, they are doing mighty well. So says the Fremont Tribune. -»**,-• The argument of least sense of the many words uttered on the rela tion of the United States to Cuba is the oft repeated statement that Cuba is not ready for freedom. If the poor distracted island is not ready for freedom now, when in heaven’s name will it' bo. Their is no race, nation, tribe or community Of people on this commodious footstool that is not ready for all the freedom that Godgiven liberities can bestow. The people of Cuba ure ready for any kind of a* governmeit the people want. ---► St. Paul Republican: You don’t see anything in any of the fusion papers about the $000 in fees that ex Secretary Porter collected as a member of the brauds committee and refuses to turn into the stnto treasury, do you? The case is iden tical with that of Eugene Moore, ex cept Moore invested state money m unfortunate tniuiug speculations and was unable to settle. Porter j admits that he has the money and says he intends to keep it. It seems to be necessary for the state to go luto court in order to get a settle ment out of this priuce of “re formers.” Wayne Republican: Because ex Governor Crounae attacked the free high school bill in a speech in the state senate recently, Seuator Owens of Dawson retorted with: “The gentleman is simply 480 years be hind the procession. He is living in an age that is dead and gone and lie ought to bring bis ideas up to the preseut.” In other words, Seuator Owens believes that a man who does not believe in raiding the pub lie treasury in behalf of everything with the cloak of education about its shoulders, no matter whether the measure is just or unjust, is an old fogy and ought to bo relegated to the rear. The gentleman from Daw son is more apt to be wrong on some of the measures brought before the body of which he is a member than is the ex-governcr, who has been tried in several cases where good judgment was required and up to date he has tilled the requirements very satisfactorily. If there were more men like Governor Crounse in the legislature of Nebraska it would he better for its treasury and the tax payers of the state. . You are right, Mr. Republican. Each legislative assembly has a spasmotic outburst ou educational matters, and propositions aro made that are absolutely detrimental. It is a good thing that the legislature usually has sufficient membership with level heads to treat those measures as they deserve. | COUNTY NEWS j| Page Items.

The O’Hooligan Cousins. A CvitUloiti Worth Millions. Front the whirl of gossip in the j financial center comes a little story of i the contents of the strong tin box be- ; longing to William L. Elkins. In i the bottom of it there is a single csr- ! tificate of stock of the Standard Oil company, which has not been touched for years. The certificate calls for 10, 000 shares, which at the present mar- i ket figure represents a face value of more than $1,000,000. Twenty-five years ago the Belmont oil works, which be longed to Mr. Elkins, were absorbed by the Standard Oil company, and the 10, 000 share certificate formed a part of the price paid.—Philadelphia Record. | \ THE COUNTY PRESS | Atkinson Plain- Dealer: Five deer are reported to be mak* ing their winter quarters on the Niobrara river near the mouth of Big sandy but no one has yet secured a good shot'at them altho’ several of the boys have been after them for a week.

Huges was'experimenting Sat urday evening at home with the gun won by his brother in law Vaul Mills paugh, when it was accidently dis charged, the load passing through both oven doors of his kitchen stove which it completely ruined. The gun cost Vaul but sixteen cents yet Al is of the opinion that it would not have been cheap at one-half the price. The memdership of the Royal Uighlanders was increased last Mon day evening to one hundred ten, and the end is not yet, for deputy Loggerwell is still at work rustling “refuges” into the castle. The castle here now bids fair to rival any other in this part of Nebraska and our friend Leo has ample reason to feel proud of the result of his labors Stuart Ledger: A quite home wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Shearer on Tuesday night February 19, when Miss Charlotte Skirving was united in holy matrimony to Mr A. E. Kieth. Mr. Kieth is a trav ling salesman for a millinery firm and his bride is the daughter of James Skirving, a former resident of Stuart, and an highly esteemed citi zen. Rev. Brethouwer performed the ceiemony. The best wishes of all follow the newly wedded couple. STRICT T TELA F. Balatloua of Appreutla* and Master In the Middle Ages. Apprenticeship was an important in stitution in France in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, anil was reg ulated with the utmost cure, as will be seen by the following account of “An Idler in Old France." By the rules of the book the master was held greatly responsible for his apprentice: and un der a wise and kindly roof, the lad who was learning to be a master workman and a ruler in his little world might lead a happy and profitable life. Often he did so, and when the day came that he might claim his freedom, he chose to remain the paid servant, friend and fellow-worker of te master wno had sheltered him from boyhood and taught him all his craft, rather than to seek a foitune less assured else were. Dur ing the years of his apprenticeship the patron or master was to feed, clothe and shelter him, In the homely word ing of the clockmaker’s rule, to cher ish him “beneath his roof, at is board and by his hearth.” Nay, it was strict ly enjoined upon the master to treat his apprentice “as his own son,” and in some trades he was bidden to re member that his responsibility did not end on the threshold of the workshop, that the "soul and morals” of the little stranger had claims on his solicitude. In a day when the streets of Paris were not very nice for anybody, and were more or less dangerous after dark for everybody, the master was instructed to be careful of what errand he dis patched the youngster, and the pastry cooks, whose apprentices were often sent to cry cakes and creams upon the public ways, weTe continually warned to prevent the lads from falling among evil company. It seems certain that, so far as the middle ages are concern ed, the rules, precepts and admoni tions were not only framed with great good sense and care, but were very rig idly enforced upon all masters who had youths and lads in their employ. High and low, in the society of that day, the rod and birch were flourished, with small discrimination and less nice ty; and if the tutors of little princes had leave to whip them freely, appren tices could not expect -o come off too lightly at a master’s hand. D« Away with Ikt Cam*. A tainted breath may be temporarily purified by occasionally chewing a b t of orris root or stick cinnamon. But this merely disguises the odor. A bad breath comes chiefly from decay! g teeth, and in some cases has its origin In a disordered stomach. When dis eased teeth cause Impure breath, re course should be had to a dentist; when organic disease is the cause, zs is very often the case, a physic an j should always be consulted. The breath should always be kept sweet, and peo ple should guard against making them selves disagreeable to their associat s by being indifferent in this mattter. Many a woman, otherwise char ming in every respect, has unwittingly repelled her acquaintances by her impure breath.—New York Weekly. | THE O'NEILL | Hitt CASH STORE Still has a nice line of Suits and Overcoats for Men and Boys, Capes <& Jackets for Women and Girls, Shoes for Men, Women and Children— TO BE CLOSED OUT Remember these goods are not be replaced and you should supply ) ourself now while this opportunity lasts.
