The Frontier. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE FRONTIER PRINTING OOMPANY D. H. CRONIN, Editor. ROMAINE SAUNDERS, AMOClate. Turkey has at last handed down its opinion in the Armenian matter by paying Uncle Sam that $95,000. - —.— Omaha shows a disposition to dis own South Omaha since the bull fight and other scandalous things that have taken place at the street fair. -»,«+».« The mother who permits her ten year old daughter to “do as she pleases” is farrowing her own brow and giving the girl a good start on the road to ruin. If a man can only prove that he is orazy he will never get to the pen. The crazy dodge as an excuse for crime is only a covering to conceal the evil passions of men. The frequency of suicides of the “most highly respected man” in the realm and a woman turning up in suspicious connection therewith in spires the thought, Is anybody good ? -- Charles G. Dawes has addressed his resignation as comptroller of the currency to President MoKinloy. Mr. Dawes will be a candidate for the United Htates senate from Illinois. -—-—.— The World-Herald reproduces from the Chioago Socialist lieview a brilliant pen picture of the wed ding of Prof. Herron and Miss ltand. It is now in order for some gifted writer to picture the scene around the “professor’s” divorced wife on that same night. Omaha Bee: Will Nebraska never cease to rub it in on the calamity howler ? It is now announced that, instead of being a borrower from the eaet, Nebraska banks have actu ally loaned over $1,000,000 to New York. The popooratio orator must hunt up a new song, the one about “poor, poverty stricken farmer” will not answer this season, for it is from the rural districts that this surplus comes. “Elijah” Dowie said at an as semblage of his followers that when he died he had appointed Mrs. Dowie as his successor, and asked how many would support her in the “prophetio” office. The whole vast audience arose. He then asked how many would support his son in the same office when Mrs. Dowie dies. Again the audience arose. But why need “Elijah” Dowie die? Why not reincarnate himself? Elijah, the prophet of Israel in the days of Jezabel, whom Dowie declares him self to be, was caught up to heaven without tasting death the reoord says. Has the aged prophet return ed to this earth of vanities and sorrows to go through the dark val ley of death after dwelling in the glories of an eternal world these many centuries? Folly of follies! The South Omaha street fair, which was started for pecuniary gain by South Omaha business meD, while in one sense is paying a good dividend, is nevertheless the worst thing that ever happened to South Omaha. There is not a praiseworthy word in any paper and the senti ment of all but the rough and law less is strongly adverse to the bull tights and brutalizing exhibitions that have been carried on there. The Bee, which might reasonably be expected to show as much favor as possible to the show, prints a half column editorial condemning it. But there seems to be worse features of the fair than the tighting with beasts. The Bee says: “The truth of the matter is that the sham bull fights are the least offensive feature of the South Omaha fair. The pro tection guaranteed to pickpockets, crooks and skin gamblers to ply their vocations, without police inter ference, in the crowed streets and the extemporized dens of vice is more reprehensible.” When of Age. Naper News: The O’Neill Fron tier was twenty-one years old last week, and it is endowed with all the wisdom and virtue incumbent on ono old enough to vote and raise whis kers. It is one of the best news papers and party organs in this part of the state, and we hope its pros perity and power for good will be continusd indefinitely. As a Factor in Immigration. Chambers Bugle: With the last week’a issue our esteemed contemp orary The Frontier reached the twenty-first year of its life. To The Frontier belongs the credit of having done much through its columns in building up the county of Holt, of inducing immigration and settle ment upon the lauds of the county by a sturdy class of people, and on all public questions of vital interest to the people it has generally been found on the side of justice. A copy of The Frontier fell into our hands while residing in the southern part of the state and the glowing description given of Holt county in duced us to cast our lot with the early settlers of this portion of the county, and we have never had oc casion to regret the move we made. Doubtless very many others have found their way here through the same medium. EMMET. Clark Gaughonbaugh has a line new open buggy. Mrs. Ethel Maring and children visited at Mr. L. Enbody’s Tuesday. Mr. & Mrs. Martdfelt visited with Mr. Tom Maring’s Sunday after noon. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hawyer visited with Mr. Chas Hubby and family over Sunday. Jim Kyan has been hauling away his hogs with the assistance of three other men. Jesse ltoy and mother attended church and Sunday-school last Sun day at Bright Hope. Jerome Maring returned home labt Thursday from Neliegh where he has been attending school. Frank and Chas. Hubby were in itiated into the Woodmen lodge, at O’Neill, Tuesday uight, June 18th. Crops are damaged considerable in these parts by the resent rains. Some Helds are entirely destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Will Tenborg also Mr. and Mrs Fred Hitchcock visited with Mr. and Mrs. Freed last Sun day. Lucien Enbody and little daugter Pearl departed Saturday morinng for Ithaca, Neb. to see his father, who is quite ill. Mr. Freed is having lumber haul ed for a new barn. We understand the dimensions are 00x00 and 10ft high. A dance was given in Mr. O’Don nell’s new barn north of here last Friday night. A grand time is re ported. We hope this will not be the last. Wur UMtroyi Vornta. Twsnty-ttve years ago, in 1876, Ber via was clothed with forests and was aptly termed "the land of the forest,” but the Servlan-Turco troubles of 1876-78 played havoc with the forests. Thousands of acres were stripped of trees In order to serve for fortifications or to bar the advance of the Turkish army or to warm the great masses of troops that camped on the land during two winters. The war was followed by a period of ruthless destruction of the forests, vast tracts being sold at a rid iculous price or denuded to supply the railroads. While Man Turned Yellow. Great oonsternatiou was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarly of Lexington, Kentucky, when lliev saw be was turn ing yellow. Uis skin slowly changed color, also his eyes and he suffered ter ribly. His malady was yellow jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful stomach and liver remedy, and he writ es; “After taking two bottles I was wholly cured." A trial proves its match less merit for tdl stomach, liver and kid ney troubles. Only 50 cents. Bold by P. C. Corrigan, druggist. 1 A Remarkable TbtmMe.

A Mountain fiiplnror.

Growth of New York. The excess of births over deaths in New York is, on an average, about 5,000 a year, and if there were not constant immigration into New York from foreign countries and from othei divisions of the United States, the growth of the city would be 50,000 in ten years, or less than 1*4 per cent in a decade. Actually, the Increase in population Is at the rate of 3$ p r cent. The territory of New Yo-’.: I which had 2,493.000 population in 1810. had 3,437,000 In 1900. A Poor Millionaire.

CHANGES IN WATCHES. Old-Faihloned "Hull s • Eye” Silver Watches Are Disappearing* The almost total disappearance of the old-fashioned ‘‘bull’s-eye” silver watches is a source of wonderment to even some W'atch dealers. It is prac tically impossible to pick up one now among them. A Chicago Tribune reporter made the rounds of the watch, pawn, and junk shops recently in quest of one of these old timepieces, and did not find it. One dealer said he knew where a single specimen was, but later admitted that the owner either had sold or lost it. A veteran watchmaker who can make a watch by hand, in re ferring to the disappearance of the ‘‘bull’s eyes,” said: ‘‘It is only natural, I suppose, that they should disappear. None of them were first-class time pieces. I mean that the best of them would vary as much as a minute a week. The cheaper machine-made watches keep better time and cost less. The first of these old ‘bull’s-eyes’ car ried the regulation Virdge movement. One hundred years ago the Virdge watches were carried by all business men. Later the English watchmakers made ‘bull’s-eyes’ with improvements on the Virdge movement. I haven’t seen a Virdge for two or three years. As a matter of fact, those old-fash ioned, key-winding silver watches are worth only what the silver in the cases amounts to. The metal represents about a dollar in value. The works are worthless. Only one or two small wheels are taken out by the dealers. Sometimes they are useful in repairing family heirlooms. What are they worth? Why, nothing at all as time pieces. The best way to get one is to keep on inquiring among the grand fathers and great uncles until you run across one, and then beg it or buy it. It is practically worthless, except as a relic.” COBWEB PICTURES, Unique Pictures Made by Mrs. Game well, a St. Louis Lady. Making pictures and decorations out of cobwebs, peanut shells and postage stamp0 is an art created by Mrs. Belle Cooper Gamewell of St. Louis, Mo. Taken up as a fad the art has develop ed into a business and Mrs. Gamewell is making money, although she is well-to-do in the world. When Mrs. Gamewell wants to make one of her queer pictures she must first hunt un til she finds a cobweb. The kind that accumulates in the corner of the ceil ing in the homes where the house maids can’t see anything higher than the mantlepiece is best for the purpose. When she finds a web she takes it down very carefully and spreads it in the bottom of a pasteboard box. Some times it is necessary to gather several cobwebs to provide sufficient fairy can vas for one picture. When the web has been spread over the bottom of the box it is ready to be painted on. Mrs. Gamewell uses brushes and oil paints, but she can not wield the brush like the ordinary painter who puts hia colors on a big, coarse canvas. She dips her brush in the paints very carefully, so that she gets only a tiny drop on it each time. The ordinary artist draws a line with a sweep of his hand. She builds the line drop by drop without ever actually touching the web with her brush. In this way she makes landscapes and flower designs that are greatly admired by her little friends. When all the paint has been deposited drop by drop on the web it is permitted to dry. Then Mrs. Gamewell covers it with a piece of thin glass or mica and the picture^ is complete. Men Like Tan Shoes. “Shoe manufacturers have been try ing hard for four years to drive tar. and colored shoes out of the market.” said a Chestnut street dealer, “and they have made an ignominous failure of it. The boom in cheap patent leath ers, which was started purposely to squeeze the tan shoes from the market has almost collapsed. Many factories did not send out samples of colored shoes for this season’s trade, but sent patent leather samples instead. The manufacturers who did not make this mistake are the men who are getting the summer's business, Men like tap shoes, and that’s all there is about it, Women are not so fond of them be cause they are more trouble to keep clean.”—Philadelphia Times. The Laud of Earthquake*. There are certain generally accepted conclusions which are entirely wrong. Pne of these is as to the land of the most frequent earthquakes. Ask al most any person and he will tell you that most earthquakes are in Japan; but he is wrong. It seems as though we hear more about earthquakes at or near Japan than at any other place, jbut when the facts are tabulated we find that Greens is far ahead of Japan. The latest complete reports cover a peT riod of six years from 1893 to 1893, and during that time 3,187 earthquakes Occurred in Greece and about one-half of that number in Japan. The island of Zanta alone had 2,018 shocks during the six years. Our Export* to Mexico. Last year the United States sent over $31,000,000 worth of goods Into Mexico. This was nearly $7,000,000 more than the year before. The in* crease of late has been chiefly due to large exportations of machinery and electrical supplies. Mexico buys a good deal of her coal from this coun try, but the amount is not likely to be Increased, as the factories in Mexico are changing over from steam to elec tric power. The rivers are many in number and every one is a series of waterfalls, owing to the hilllness of the country. pEARLY A QUARTER I IOF A CENTURY rl wenty-two years selling to the users of farm machinery of I I Holt county is a good guarantee tnai what we put out is I i giving the best service.
