NUMBER TUBERCULOSIS FOUffl IN A PIG William Sardeson, who resides thir teen miles southwest of O'Neill, was in town Monday with a specimen of disease jerms taken from a swine which he believes to be a case of tuberculosis. Mr. Sardeson is a veterinary surgeon and has made a study of animal diseases. About a year ago he got a small pig to experiment with. The pig came form a place where their was a case of con sumption in the family and he thinks possibly the disease was transmitted from human to brute. It was a sickly, runt of a pig when Mr. Sardeson took it home. It was given special care and kept away from other stock so that developments could be closely watched but not until he had made a post mor tem examatiou had the veterany an idea of what the disease was. lie killed the pig the othrer day and the entire organic machinery showed evidenses of disease, the spleen and lungs being especially affected. Thickly dotted through these organs were clusters of small white balls of a soft and cheesey nature and about the size of shot. The veternary took his specimen to doctors hen submit it to the microscope, but a proper focus cauld not be secured with the instrument at hand for such a eubject and au accurate examination could not be made. Dr. Skelton of Page, who was in the city, took some of the specimen which he will take to Chicago this week and have it examined, he going there to take a post graduate course. The doctor will report the resultB of the examination. Mr. Sarde son say he recently killed a cow for a farmer living southwest of town that was in the last stages of consumption, the left lung being gone. Tuberculosis in cattle, lie says, is a common thing, but has never found it in hogs before. i DEATH RECORD Died, at her home iu this city on last Sunday evening, Mrs. Elizabeth Camp bell, wife of Senator Frank Camp bell, aged 41 years, 4 months and 13 days. Elizabeth Winterer was born in St. Louis, Mo., January 1, 1860. In 1869 she came with her parents to Cedai county, this state. In 1880 she was mar ried to Frank Campbell at Yankton, S. D., coming to O’Neill the following year, where the family has since resid ed. Nine children were born to them, six boys and three girls. One of the girls died iu infancy in 1882. The re mains of the child were exhnmed and laid in the grave with its mother. The youngest child is three weeks old. The immediate cause of Mrs. Camp bell’s death was eiampsia. She was a loving, companionable woman, always ready to help the needy. Her bright smiles and cheering words will be * greatly missed by hundreds of O’Neill JH people outside her heartbrokeu family. In hours of trouble such as this words of sympathy can do but little to alleviate the sorrow of the husband and children of that once happy home which has been made desolate by the removal of its queen—the loving, sympathetic wife and mother. O’Neill people fiom the bottom of their hearts tender them their sincerest sympathy in their bereavement. Deceased was a member of the O’Neill lodge Degree of Honor in which she carried $2000, insurance, and the local . Castle of Royal Highlanders in which she carried an equal amount. The funnal was held from the Catholic Church Tuesday morning the remains beiDg interred in the Catbolc cemetary. Mr. Campbell received a telegram of sympathy from United States Senator Kearns and also from several members of ihe Nebraska legislature. John Fallon, whose death was chron icled in tlie last issue of The Frontier, i was born in O’Neill November 19, 1882, and at the timd of bis death was but nineteen years and six months of age. Deceased was a young man of sterling integrity and many noble traits of char acter. His sudden death upon tlie threshold of manhood when life’s am bitions were shown as beacon lights of enchantment afar spurred him onward and upward eager to learn theknowiedge that would better enable him to fight life’s battles, tlie grim reaper clasped him in its lendions and claimed him for its own. In manhoods youghtful bloom yvhen darkest night appears as brightest day to the expectant, hope ful youth to have the tender cord of life severed seems hard to realize but He who docs all tilings for the best called him to His home and loving parents, brothers and sisters are left to mourn, hilt bow their heads in humble submission to his will. That he was loved by both young and old was evi ^ denced by the large funeral last Friday and the many and beautiful floral offer ings placed upon his bier by loving and devoted friends. The Academy Dra matic Co., of which he was a member, placed a beautiful wreath of remem brance upon his casket; the teachers of the public school, his classmates, Mrs. James J. Barrington and Patrick Gor don, of Sioux City, decorated the cas ket with beautiful wreaths, while in loving remembrance his family placed a beautiful cross made of flowers. The funeral was held from the Catholic church Friday morning, the remains being laid to rest in the Catholic ceme tery . _ Doctor, more familiarly known as Joe. Gallagher, who recently graduated from a four year’s course in medicine at St Louis, a brother of J. P. Gallaher of the O’Neill Grocery and an O’Neill boy, went to Atkinson Monday evening to hang out his professional shingle and become a permanent fixture of that pro gressive town. Dr. Gallagher is a bright young man, has had thoiough schooling in one of the best institutions in the country and we predict a success ful career for him in his chosen profess ion. S. J. Weekes, register, and R. H. Jenness, receiver, of the O’Neill land office have bought the two corner lots just south of the court-house block and are having a building 18x44 erected thereon and the land office wlllbe moved into it about June 1. The building at present occuipied by the land office is now in litigation the question of owner ship being between Mr. Weekes and the O’Neill National bank, which arose over the sale of the building by Mr. Wattles.

The Sioux City Tribune says: "Will iam Whitfield, who had his left foot amputated a week ago Sunday, is get ting along well at Samaritan hospital, and was out on the porch today. He lias been employed by Davidson Bro thers for five years. Some time ago he injured his foot while playing baseball. Chicago experts found nothing could save it and he came back and submitted to an operation.” Ii is nealy two years ago that Will hurt his foot while living in O'Neill and he lias suffered much with it. His friends here regret that the accident cost him a foot. An exchange thinks that next year we may expect to read something like the following in the daily papers; "About 10 o’clock this morning a horse less milk wagon loaded with eowless milk collided with a brainless rider on a cbninless wheel. The luckless wheel man was badlv injured, and being homeless, he was taken in a horseless cab to the home of the friendless.” Go to J . P. Gallagher's for coffees. Always fresh and up to date.

While the trials wore two separate cases the charges were Identical, tho defendant in each case charged on three counts, assault with intent to kill, assault with intent to wound and assault with intent to do great bodily injury. A. F. Mullen as county attorney prosecuted the cases, assisted in the trial of Thomas by M. F. Harrington. It. It. Dickson was defendants’ attorney. J. J. Schweit zer nnd wife were the principal state witnesses and testified in tho first and Lee’s trial that he (Lee) did the stabbing. Tho defendant denied the charge and Thomas went on in behalf of his brother and stated that lie (Thomas) was the one that did the stabbing. This testi mony conflicted with the idea that had become prevelent that Lee had dono the cutting and cleared him while it fixed the deed upon Thomas. Mr. Schweitzer had always said, nnd so testified in court, Hint - Leo used the knife on him. Lee’s case went to the jury at noon Friday and a verdict of acquittal was arrived at Sunday at 8 p. ra. The jury in the other case was empan eled Saturday and the trial was conclud ed Tuesday evening, a verdict for as sault and battery being returned Wed nesday morning. Defendant waived motion for a new trial and Judge Har rington pronounced sentence of six months confinement in the county jail and a fine of $150 and costs of trial. The defendandant pleaded self-defense in using a knife. The state did not call Mrs. Schweitzer to the stand in the last trial. Doth were notable trials and brought out some interestiug things. Attorney Dickson fought them hard and in the last case made one of the best pleas ever heard in the O’Neill court-hcuse, while Messrs. Harrington and Mullen made strong and eloquent, pleas in behalf of the state. Card of Thanks.
