Wheeler County Independent: Peo
ple scoff at the "sandhills” of Nebraska,
forgetting the gardens of New Jersey,
supplying the New York City market
are composed of the whitest and light
est of blow sand, a hundred times sand
ier than our-“sand bills” and yet a few

for the rich man to enter Heaveu than
tor the slave of a gumbo soil to see any
virtue in sand.

Wish all our readers would do likewise
We have hanging up in onr sanctum

C. W. Duell was up from Page Wed
nesday, called and renewed bis subscrip
tion to The Frontier. Mr. Duell says
there are many people moving into
Iowa and Verdigris townships and
that these townships will make a
record for themselves when it comes to
the election this fall. Mr. Duell was
the republican candidate for supervisor
against W. W. Bethea two years ago
and, although the district was over
whelmingly populistic, was only de
feated a few votes.
Sheriff Stewart was out to J. M. Cut*
bert’s place, nine miles north of O’Neill,

bert and placed him in jail. Culbert is
an escaf ed prisoner, breaking from the
county jail in O’Neill some two years
ago. lie was up before the courts on
the charge of seduction at the time of
breaking jail. The young man’s rela
tives says he is not sane and The Fron
tier understands they will make com
plaint to the authorise! and have |him
examined. In case of insanity, of
course, the law will prosecute the seduc
tion case no further.
Sanford Dodge, the wellknown ro
mantic actor supported by a strong
company, will appear in ’’Three Muska
teers” at the opera house Thursday
April 4 The “Three Muskateers’’ is a
dramatization of Dumas’‘‘ThreeGuards
man.’’ The wild impetous and reckless
Uascan D'Artagnan whose mixture of
Bguting blood, chivalrous honor, and
wild spirit make a most fascinating and
picturesque character The Moody
Althos brooding over his wrongs; the
blustering Parthos and tbe bewitching
Constance, who furnishes a pretty love
sentiment with the noble Gascon. The
wily old Cardinal Richelieu, who is a
familiar picture on the American stage
and has been played by all the greatest
actors. Lady De Weuter furnishes a
strong picture of a woman’s scorn, seek
ing revenge and puttiug aside her own
off spring rather than forego that re
venge. There are also other interesting
characters including Ann of Austria,
Buckingham Bouiface, etc The whole
making up a most romantic and delight
ful play. Mr. Dodge plays D'Artaguan
and lias given the part long and careful
study aud is accredited with being the
nearest approach to the late Alexander
Salvinf, who was probably the greatest
D Antiguan in recent years. Mr. Dodge
has surrounded himself with a company
Oi artists and every character has bten
given tbe most careful study.
For the first time, we believe, in the
history of O’Neill, we are to go through
a munieipial campaign without a con
test. There is but one ticket in the
field this year, the present officials being
candidates tor re-election without op
position. This is one of the strongest
endorsements the present city adminis
tration could receive to be elected with
out opposition.. It demonstrates that
they have performed the duty thev were
selected to perform in a manner credit
able to themselves and the city and The
Frontier is pleased to see our citizens
dwell thus together in peace and har
mony. Following are the candidates:
Mayor, Edward F. Gallagher; City
Clerk. James F Gallagher; Treasurer,
Bernard McGreevey; Police Judge, O.
E. Davidson. Alderman—First ward,
R. H. Jenness; Second ward, Jacob
Pfund; Third ward, Emil Sniggs.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
will hold their sale April 5 and 6 at the
opera bouse. They will have for sale
every thing that is choice and of the
best quality, as the wholesale houses,
flouring mills, creameries and firms to
whom they have written have sent goods
which they wish to have advertised and
of course nothing but the best has
been sent. No fancy prices will be
asked on account of its being for the
benefit of the church, but every thing
will be sold at the regular retail price
In additon to this the ladies will have
for cale aprons, dressing sacks, etc.
Easter lillies and other plants and cut
flowers. In anoher department may be
found delicacies for your Easter Sun
day dinner, The young ladies of the
Endeavor Society, will serve supper
Saturday evening, commencing at 5:30
The ladies will be pleased to see you at
any time, whether you come in to buy
or oply to look around.
Among other probable improvements
of a substantial nature that are booked
for O’Neill this season is the erection of
a brick block on the corner occupied for
the Iasi twenty years by the decrepit
structure known as “Paradise Hall”
across (tat street south of the Pfuud
McManus block. The property has
passed into the hands of Emil Sniggs,
who has had plans utder way for some
months past to build thereon. Mr.
Sniggs says he expects to put up a two
storv brick 60x100 feet for his own use
in blacksmithing and implement deal
ing. Mr. Sniggs is a business man of
ability and from a small beginning in a
shabby structure on the same lots his
new building will occupy has enlarged
his business to his present commodious
quarters near the Great Northern depot,
besides occupying two buildings on
Fourth street for implements. The
structure proposed would be a great
improvement for that corner and The
Frontier hopes to see it speedily erected.
Deputy Sb-’iiff Bradstreet returned
Monday night from a four days chase
after Thomas Morrison, one of the pair
who last week assaulted J. J. Schweit
zer of Joy. Morrison made his escape
from the country after the trouble at
Schweitzer’s place and op to this time
has not been captured, although Deputy
Bradstreet is pretty well convinced that
he knows where his man is and says he
expects to have him by the last of the
week. The deputy sheriff traversed the
Santee agency country, the section be
tween O’Neill and Niobrara and the
country west of Yankton, S. D. He
satisfied himself that Morrison bad not
crossed the Missouri river and returned
by way of Niobrara where he came
upon information that leads him to be
lieve Morrison has gone . south. At
present Deputy Bradstreet is awaiting
developments from sources where be
believes Morrison is in hiding and ex
pects to secure his man by the last of
the week.
Merill, la., March 23.—A nervy burg
lar gained entrance to liev. Father Too
bill’s residence Sunday morning. The
entrance was affecteu through u window
which be pried open. He coolly lit *
candle and proceeded to ransack Father
Toohill’s desk. Accidental noises
awoke Mi*« Anna Clark, the priest's
cousin and housekeeper, who arose anti
with a revolver fired through the rad
iator from upstairs towarJ the shadow
made by the burglar. She fired severs
shots as he tied, but aside from the fac1
that no trace of the first bullet cro be
tound it is believed that the culprit es
caped uninjured, lie wore long “tooth
pick” shoes and is thought to have been
a young man. Though there was
money and other valuables in the desk,
none of it was disturbed. The nnU
thing taken was a valuable gold watch
of Miss Clark’s. Miss Clark’s pluck is
acknowledged and generally commend
ed.—Sioux City Tribune.
Miss Clark is a cousin of Mrs. O. F.
Biglin and visited here for a few weeks
last summer, iler many friends here,
however did not give her credit for
having the pluck she displayed in her
encounter with the burglar.
I have some Molt county land thatl

ulars address box 783, Lincoln Ne
braska. 35-4,
Exchange: Good morning! Rate
you paid your subscription this year?
Perhaps you owe for last year, too; or
maybe you owe for job work or adver
tising. Now you understand, we don’t
need money, for we have millions—to
get; but it is really an imposition on
our part to let people go on carrying
our money around, when we are so
strong and healthy and able to bear that
burden ourselves. For this reason we
ask everybody who has any of oui
money in their possession to leave it
at the office, or send it by mail, express,
freight or ony old way, just so it gets
here. Silver and gold are heavy and it
would be a matter of life long regret if
any one should get bow-legged carrying
it around. __
J. L Shanner of Page was in the city
last Friday for a few hours. Jim is not
the enthusiastic populist politician that
he was in the early 00’s when he organ
ized the populUt party in this count*
and of which organization he was
ohairman for three years. As a hewer
of wood and drawer of water for the
infant then struggling for political life
—the populiat party—Jim was a success,
but as soon as the party oaptured the
offices new leaders forged to the front
and they had no use for plain Jim
Sb&nner, even beating him out of a
nomination after the convention had
selected him. In *,'« of these thing*
it is not to be wondered at that Jim
does not tear his hair in his efforts to
have victory perch upon the fnsionist
banner.
■ A good joke is being told on Bro
Eves, editor of the Independent. IF
went, one evening, prior to lm
recent attack of tbe mumps, to repur
a party at a home recently blessed witii
a new baby. He met the hostess at the
door, and after the usual salutations
HBked after the baby’s health. The lad>
who was quite deaf and suffering from
the grip, thought he was asking abon
her cold and answered that, although
she had one every other winter, tbb
one was the worst that she bad ever had;
kept her awake nights a good deal and
at first confined her to her bed. Then,
noticing that the newspaper man wa
getting nervous, she said dhe could tel'
by his looks that he was going to havt
one just like hers and invited him t<
come m and sit down.
M. R Sullivan received a letter last
week from his cousin, John D. Murphy,
at Ardgroom, county Cork, Ireland,
announcing his marriage at that plao*
on Februay 12, 1901, to Maggie O’Shea
John is a brother of Dan D. Murph>
who lives about eight miles northeast of
O’Neill and lived in this county foi
several years, being engaged in buyint
live stock He went to Ireland a yea>
ago last fall intending to return ii>
about a year, but cupid’s darts piercer
his heart and he fell a victim to one of
Erin’s charming maidens, and will prob
ably remain in the old country for a
dme at least. His bride Is a neice of
James Shea, living northeast of O'Neill.
The Frontier joins “Shaun’s” many
friends in wishing himself and bride
many happy years of wedded life.
