from C. E. Norton of Randolph, Utah,
ordering The Frontier sent to him. Mr.
Norton is a son of ex-C'ounty Surveyor
M. F. Norton of this county and is now
practicing law and flourishing in Utah.
When a boy Mr. Norton worked his
way through the O’Neill high school
by doing clerk work in Ira Lapham’s
hotel. He later taught school in the
Hopkin’s district aud Butte, Boyd
county. His friends here will be 'glad
to learn of success and progress in this
world.
A.b'rt Webb came near being a dead
boy ,ust Sunday evening. He was
bathing with a number of other men
aud boys in the Elkhorn near the bridge
south of O’Neill and got into the deep
watefs of the chanel and was going
down to a watery grave when hauled
ashore by his companion bathers. The
Elkhorn is over its banks and flows a
mighty current of water. Albert coqjd
not swim and was sporting in the
shallow water along the bank, when the
bank gave away and the water swallow
ed him up. It was a very narrow escape
and one that well be remembered.
Considerable interest was manifest in
the annunal school meeting hald at the
school-house Monday. The meeting
was presided over by Moderator True
blood aud Sec. Hagensick. O. F. Big
lin and G. W. Smith were elected to the
board, C. W. Hagensick and S. B.
Howard retiring. A levy of 15 mills
was made for the general funds and 5
mills for teachers’ fund. The amount
of school for the' next year will be nine
months. An attempt was made to arouse
a sentiment for the purpose of securing
money paid as occupation tax for the
benefit of the schools but it was the
sense of the meeting that no such a
move be made. There were thiity-eight
votes cast at tile meeting.
Last Thursday night a gale of wind
swept down from the north with mad
dening fury and for a time made timbers
quake and loose things rattle in the
vicinity of O’Neill but wrought no
special damage. It was but the tail end
of a tempest that raged through the
Keya l’aha and Niobrara valleys and
left death and destruction in its trail.
An account of the storm in Boyd county
i3 given in another column. The
cyclone crossed the Niobrara river after
wrecking barns, outbuildings and a
windmill at George Melior’s place south
of Lynch and wrought destruction to

side the river. William Wilson was in
from the stormvisited district yesterday
and says the small grain crop was
anihiiated in his neighborhood, Everd
Ricard’s brick house was blown down,
several barns, small buildings and trees
innumerable were dashed to pieces. No
lives were lost except in Ihe Iveya Paha
valley.
On the evening of Saint John's day,
Monday the 24tb, Garfield Lodge A. F.
and A. M. held its annual installation
of officers, which was public for the
families of the members, and the mem
bers of the Eastern Star. With Past
Master J. J. King installing oflicer and
A. 13. Newell marshal, the following
officers were installed: It R. Dickson,
W. M.; E. J. Mack, S. W.; It. II.
Jennesb, J. W.; E. II. Bendict, treas
urer; A. Baker, secretary: O. O Snyder,
S. D.; J. P. Giiligan, J. D.; 13. T.
Trueblood and John Skirving, stewards,
and B. Martin, tiler. After the ceremon
ies, the ladies of the Eastern Star served
refreshments in the hall; and, owing to
the enter^jnment at the rink, and the
threatening aspect of the weather, there
were many good things left over un
disposed of, which, with Bro. Dickson
doing the auctioneer act, brought
fabulous prices.
Louis Stracke of Stuart, one of the
prominent and welthy fai mers of west
ern Roll, was in the city Friday last on
business. Mr. Stracke warmed up to a
good natured and insteresting point
when the political aspect of the country
was touched upon und spoke very
emphatically of bis purpose to vote the
republican ticket this fall straight
through. “Whith but one exception,”
said he,“I have voted the populist ticket
straight for twelve years, but this fall I
am going to vote the republican ticket
regardless of the candidates either pcrty
puts up.” Mr. Stracke is a man who
doesn’t have to be told to come in out
of the wet and is able to discern the
times he lives in. Sensible men see the
fulfillment of every republican pledge
and are not silly enough to continue to
battle agaiust their best interests.
Is Yours one of them.
There are a great man y accounts still
on my b > >ks that I expect to have set
led before 1 go away. And I hope if
yours is one of them I will not be dis
appointed. I expect to leave O’Neill July
1st or 2nd so the time is very short.
Do not expect me to call on you or send
a statement as it will be impossible for
for me to do so, nevertheless if you owe
me I expect you to settle by that time
as I need the money and do not wish
to place upon my successor the task of
clleoting or looking after my old bills.
Yours truly, J. P. Mann.

Closing Entertainment.
The closing exercises of St. Mary's
academy were held Monday evening at
the opera-house in this city. A very
large and appreciative audience attend
ed the exercises and for three hours
were entertained in a manner new and
novel to patrons of school entertain
ments. The beautiful allegorical drama,
“Anima”, in three acts, was presented in
a manner to excite the admiration of
all; representing the awakening of the
human soul to a realization of the
dangers of a world filled with fashion’s
frivolities, that lures the soul to certain
destruction and an awful doom.
Through the influence of Faith, Hope
and Chairty, “Anima” discovers her
true condition and casts aside her wick
ed companeis and with true Christian
faith embraces the three lovely graces,
proverty, purity and obedience, which
leads her to God aud happiness.
Too much praise cannot be given the
youthful performers and their accom
plished tutors, the Sisters of St. Francis.
The entertainment was classical through
out. Miss Mary M. Hagerty is entitled
to special mention for the grace and
beauty of her “Anima,” Her character
ization of the part was indeed a revela
tion and a delight.
O’Neill should be proud, as indeed it
is, of this grand educational institution,
which is ranked by none other of its
kind in the state, except one in Omaha.
The management of the entertain
ment was under the direction of Father
Cassidy, the pastor, and was a grand
success as are indeed all matters with
which his name is identified.
