Stuart Ledger: Last Saturday’s train
going west ran over and killed six head
of cows owned by O. Uoifstott, a farmer
living halfway between here and New
port. It is persumed that some defect
in the wire fence permitted the animals
to escape from the pasture; and being
upon the embankment when the train
came along, they were unable to get out
i of the way of the death-dealing engine.
The improvements at the oourt-liouse
are getting pretty well finished up, the
completion of the roof to the vault ba
ing about the the only thing to do yet.
New plank walks have been put in at
an expense of 9300, the vault will cost
about $650, the roof $500 and the chang
es in the up stairs apartments about
$400.
We are not the only suffers from heat.
A hot wave has swept the whole trans
Mississippi region with the goverment
records showing murcery at from 100 to
106 at many places. North and south,
east and west, excessive heat has been
the rule for more than a week and people
in many places are meeting the emerg
ency in the only sensible way by quit
ting work.
The Bee publishes a tabulated state
ment of the valuation of Nebraska land

sioner Watson, based on the figures re
turned by county assessors, Holt county

$7 50; hay land, $10; pasture land, $5.
Douglas county shows the highest aver
age at $53 per acre.
The supervisors were to have
convened Tuesday bat owing to there
not being a quorum present they did not
meet until Wednesday. A large grist of
general business has accumulated for
the present session, but much of it will
perhaps go over until the September
session as the members of the board are
anxious to return to their duties on the
farm. There is business enough for a
three weeks’ meeting, Supervisor Grimes
tells us, but they hope to adjourn the
last of the week.
T. V. Golden, who with his son Parnell
is touring through Washington, sends
glowing accounts of their trip. At
Port Angeles they were entertained
aboard the battleship Iowa in a manner
befitting princes. Becoming acquainted
with Capt. Perry on a trout fishing ex
pedition in the mountain stream he in
vited them to the famous battleship,
where they met all the officers, were
served dinner and showen through the
ship. Mr. Golden expects to be home
soon after the 15th.
J.P. Mann departed, for Chicago,
his future home, last Friday. Mr. Mann
has been a resident of O’Neill for eigh'
teen years or more and has taken a
prominent part in business development
of tbe city and his absence in our
social and business life will be felt. He
was one of the early merchants of
O’Neill, having at first been associated
with John Hecker in the firm of Mann &
Hecker. The Mann store has been the
pride of the city for many years and it
would be bard to find a better one in a
country town. Mr. Mann retains the
ownership of the store and the supervi
sion of the business devolves ujon his
sister Miss Mann.
“Stealing ridvs” may be a good way
to beat the railroad company, but its a
poor way to insure long life, liailroad
trains are grinding up the bodies of a
good many “tramps” this summer and
the Elkhorn traines seem to be doing
their share. A young man by the name
of Dean was killed by a freight train at
Stanton Monday morning. He was with
his partner attempting to steal a ride
and accidentally slipped and fell under
the wheels of the moving train. His
body was horribly mangled; in fact cut
all to pieces. His home was at Thur
man, Freeman county, Iowa, where his
father is said to be a contractor and
builder. He had been working at the
brick yards at Fullerton, this state, and
was on his way to Sioux Fall, S. D.
Valentine Republican: The crusade
against the gentlei and more admirable
sex wearing hats in auditoriums should
be made a national issue. While it may
be true that it is worth the price of ad
mission to an entertainment for the
privilege of gazing upon "sweet sixteen”
from a rear view, if for nothing more
than the poise of her pretty head, and
the rigidity of the same on the shoulders
of the statuesque "maiden of forty,”
there is an occasional burst of oratory
which flows from the rostrum in the
dim distance that imbues one with a
burning desire to look beyond. After
all, it is not at all oertain but that ladies
thus excessively decorate their heads
more with a view to exciting the envy
of their own sex than the admiration of
the opposite. Certain it is that from
base man’s standpoint of beauty a
woman’s hair is her crown of glory, and
no hat was ever made that will compete
with artistically dressed hair In fact,
orator, actors, etc., should register a
kick against a crusade, for the eyes of
few men in an audience could be drawn
from the contemplation of a section or
row of pretty heads with nothing b ut
"crowns of glory” on.
The Frontier is still doing good print
ing at moderate price. Let us flgure j

Boyd county is playing in hard luck
this year. While the gayeties of the
Fourth were in progress a storm struck
in about the center of the county and
unroofed one house. The Butte Gazette
says: “During the storm yesterday after
noon a young twister struck the house
of Chas. Rose, who lives south of Man
kato, and tore the roof off and scattered
it along the prairie for a quarter of a
mile. Mrs. Ross and four children were
in the house at the time and outside of
Mrs. Ross getting cut over the eye by
some flying boards none were injured.
Thehousowasa sod one with board
roof, log ridgepole and sod on top of
the roof. The ridgepole broke in the
middle and fell inside, the east wall of
tho house was entirely destroyed and
how Mrs. Ross and the children escaped
death is a rsystery.”
W. F. Carpenter of Wyoming town
ship was in the city last week preparing
for a sale at his place four miles west of
Amelia and twenty-one miles south
of Atkinson on July 22. This will be
one of the largest sales that has taken
place in Holt county for many years,
perhaps the largest ever held. While
only a part of his property he intends to
sell, Mr. Carpenter calls special atten
tion to seventy-flve head of Shorthorn
cattle—33 milch cows, 20 steers, 30
heifers and 1 thoroughbread bull. While
not registered, the cattle are all bred up
to a grade equal to thoroughbreds.
Special care has been given to the herd
to breed up to the pare strain and par
ties desiring this grade of cattle Bhould
attend the sale. For further particulars
see bills or write Mr. Carpenter at
Amelia .
The city police had a prisoner in the
jail the other evening who showed his
resentment at being locked up by smash
ing a window and ripping off a bar. An
elderly gentleman with a liking to li
quor, who came to O’Neill from Neligh
some months ago, allowed bis thirst to
get the best of him and went to the
house where he had been boarding and
undertook to enter the sleeping apart
ments of the lady of the house, who
picked him up bodily and cast him out
of the door. Marshal Hall was called
and landed the badly intoxicated man in
jail, where jie spent the night smashing
window glasses and talk to himself
until placed in a cell to prevent any
further damage to the building. Consi
dering his years and heretofore general
good behavior the officers were lenient
with him and only assessed to him the
price of the window—$4.
A new industry has lately been started
in Holt county which The Frontier as
yet has not given any attention. Omaha
parties are operating a dog ranch about
two miles north of O'Neill and have in
training about fifty hunting dogs.
Young dogs are shipped in from Omaha
and other points and taken to the
“ranch" wheu with great care and Job
like patience two men start them in
training over the prairies. Birds are
plentiful and a pee wee is as good as a
chicken for a dog learning the “setting”
porcess. They take four dogs apiece
and start out to devclope the young
canine instinct in its natural sphere of
usefulness. Every few days new dogs
are brought on and when “broke” will
be returned. They have a wicker cov
ered wagon in which the dogs are trans
fered to and from the shipping point.
This is a new industry for Holt county
and while not of the importance of our
great live stock interests we are sure
nobody would do anything to discouage
it.
I he Great Nortlien passenger train
averted a wreck Tuesday evening return
ing from Sioux City by the vigorous ac
tion of a farmers wife in the vicinity of
Osmond. A bridge a few miles east of
that place was set fire by a machine for
the destructlan of weeds which had
passed over the track during the day.
A woman at a farm house near by saw
the fire and went with her children to
fight the flames. The story of her
heroic work is a story of a deed worthy
of a place on history’s immortal page.
With the assistance of her daughter and
younger sou the lives of the people on
the train were saved. The fire was
rapidly burning out the ties and peers
that supported the bridge when the res
cuers arrived. A barrel of water was
found at the bridge and this was turned
onto the fire, but the flames still burned
on. The heroic fire fighters then went
to their home and filled a barrel with
water, hauled it.on a stoneboat to the
bridge and continued their work. X'he
mother, knowing a train would soon
arrive, ran a half mile down the track
and stood between the rails and waved
her sunbonnet at the train then dashing
toward her at the rate of forty miles an
hour. The engineer was dazed. Uis
hair stood on ends in fear of grinding
beneath the wheels the woman who
stood upon the track frantically waving
her bonnet with apparently no intention
of getting out of the way of the flying
train. lie reversed the leaver and when
within twenty feet of the woman still
standing on the track the engine puffed
its last. Quick work soon extinguished
the fire and the train cautiously crawled
over the bridge with burnt timbers.
Jtlad not this woman done as she did the
bridge would have burned out before
the train arrived and as it is approaohed
by a curve in the track it would have
been impossible for the engine men to
have seen the danger in time to avert a
wreck.

Receiver’s Reports.
A special from Butte says:
Judge J. J. Harrington of O'Neill
held a special term of court here to
wind up the business of the defunot
Farmers and Merchants bank and dis
charging the receiver. The bank paid
out more than was anticipated when
the report was made to the court by the
bank examiner. The receiver realized
on manyclaims byjudicious management
that it was at first belived were worth
less. The preferred claims paid 80 cents
and the general claims 26} cents on the
dollar.
This amount will be at once paid out
and receipts taken by Receiver Standi
fred and when this is done and bis re
port filed with the clerk of the court he
will be discharged. It had been report
ed all along that the receiver was allow
ed $5 per day for his services. This is
not the fact. Mr. Standifred was allow
ed so much per month from time to lime
which was a very reasonable compensa
tion considering the amount of work he
did. The affairs of this bank were
wound up quioker than those of any
bank that went into the hands of a re
ceiver in the state and Mr. Standifred
and the court worked with only the in
terest of the depositors in view.
This was Judge Harrington’s last term
of court until fall and he stated to your
correspondent that he proposed to spend
most of his vacation on his cattle ranch
near O’Neill. Judge Harrington is a
lover of fine bred cattle and his ranch is
well stocked with thoroughbred short
horns.

PhUIppinas Devoid of Plague.
There is no record that the Philip

nila has retained its Immunity.
