McKinley day at Canton will
certainly be a sad day for the presi
dent if he reads the Amelia poets’
“rebuke.”
Honesty, like charity, begins at
home. Don’t expect treatment ac
cording to the golden rule unless
you praotioe it yourself.
It has been figured out that the
world’s wars have cost $G a minute
since the creation of Adam. ’Bout
time to quit fighting.
And now Bro. Henry threatens
to embark in poetry writing. Whi
ther drifts the high and mighty
calling of the newspaper man ?
If the railroads that forbid their
employes to visit saloons or drink
liquor would cut off the refrigerator
cars they would greatly expedite
matters.
Washington boasts of a 25,000,
000 bushel wheat crop. Nebraska
never made any pretentions at rais
ing wheat, but she beats that several
millions.
The syndicate sheet is getting
hard np for campaign thunder when
it will publish deliberate falsehoods
in an attempt to bolster up a hope
less cause.
The indications are that the
syndicate editorial bureau has taken
the Stuart Herald under its wing.
The bureau had better establish a
censure lest Bill makes some bad
break.
The Butte Gazette is urging to
the front the proposition of voting
bonds in Boyd county for a railroad.
Usually people are willing to pay
pretty high to get a railroad into
their territory but a community now
a-days without a railroad is no bet
ter than the “back woods.” Butte
people think they have a tangable
railroad proposition. Boyd county
will never come to the front as its
natural resources warrant until a
railroad taps that territo y.
If populist argument has been
reduced to the twaddle about re
publicans claiming the credit for
good crops, populists have reached
a stage of silliness too silly for seri
ous consideration.
---——
A half column of rot that made the
pages of the World-Herald stink
last Thursday went in from O’Neill.
The reform camp is sending up a
horrible stench and should be cast
out of the city in the interest of
good health.
-..
When the esteemed Independent
has acquired a little better reputa
tion for truthfulness perhaps the
public will lend an attentive ear to
the reading of its double leaded
shrieks about the dishonesty of
othere.
--
Stuart Ledger: O’Neill is not as
good as Stuart. We havo had
plenty of rain while O’Neill has not
enough moisture to lay the dust.
On the theory that Lucifer,
“prince of the powor of the air,”
controls the elements adjacent to
this mundane sphere, Stuart eviden
tly stands in with the devil.
The commissioners of Cherry
county have ordered Treasurer
Thackery to collect back taxes by
distress warrant and the treasury is
being flooded. Some people don’t
pay taxes because they can’t while
other don’t want to. Its the latter
class that distress warrants are
designed to reach.
For the past month the oracle of
populism of Holt county, the Inde
pendent, the paper of the esteemed
poet from Amelia, has devoted
about all of its space to The Frontier
and Lincoln Journal while its form
er readers havo been coming to The
Frontier for the news. If the pops
begin to tear their hair this early in
the game some of them will have to
be conveyed to Norfolk before The
Frontier gets through with thorn
this fall.
A Denver special says: In view
of the interest taken in the question
of whether or not animal tuberculo
sis can be communioated to human
beings, T. L. Monson, state dairy
commissioner of Colorado, offers
himself as a subject for a thorough
test of the matter, providing a suit
ble annuity for his family is assured
in case of fatal results. Mr. Monson
has made a study of the matter and
is a strong believer in Dr. Koch’s
theory.
Stuart Herald: ' The question is
arising daily what course or upon
what issue the republicans will stand
on this fall.
If the question “is arising daily”
it aught to be “risen” pretty soon.
The republican side of this fall’s
campaign is worrying populists a
whole lot more then it is republicans.
That there was once an unfortunate
man by the name of Barrett Scott
will be harped upon as long as there
is a pop to breathe. Among
Holt county’s noble reformers are
men yet at large upon whose lingers
is the smell of county money and
republicans are ready for the mud
batteries of the craven liypoorites
who sit in high places in the pop
ulist party.
Nobody iu “advance of his time”
with Moses-like leadership has yet
arisen to champion the cause of
matrimonial reform iu respect to
educational test. While civilization
is marching on it would be a mark
of advancement to require of men
and women a degree of intellectual
attainments sufficient at least to
read, write and comprehend straight
English before they become fathers
and mothers. Look into the faces
of the children whose parents have
to draw on the learning of others to
read and write for them! The
stamp of ignorance is there. They
are the kind of children that roam
the streets with garments unkempt,
disheveled hair and dirt covered skin
bearing more resemblance to the
savages than the children of civilized
man. They are the kind that form
that strata of society called the
“tough element.” There is nothing
so unfits it man or woman for the
sombre destinies of life, the rearing
of children and the duties of hus
band and wife as an intellect grown
to weeds.

“Buffalo Bill.''
The new $16 silver certificate will
be christened “Buffalo bill,” because
its distinct characteristic will be the
figure of a gigantic buffalo. A
Washington dispateh says:
On the note the buffalo is headed
westward, his shaggy head well
down for a charge, his tail in a
pugnacious attitude, and his matted
mane sweeping the ground. To ob
tain the sketch for this note the
artist visited the National museum,
where there are several stuffed
specimens of the bison species. The
finest was selected and the drawing
made from him. On the reverse
of the note will be an artistic design.
In this note, as in the others of the
series, it is intended to leave as
much open work as possible with a
handsome design, the silk threads
in the paper forming one of the
greatest safeguards against counter
feiting. In many of the older notes
the threads were obscured almost
entirely by the scroll work. The
subjects for this series will be con
fined to American life, hence the
name “ American series.” On the
$1 bill is the eagle; on the $2
George Washington, and on the $5
the handsome head of the Indian
chief Onopapa. It was suggested
that a picture of the battleship Maine
be used on the $10 notes and the
idea at first was adopted. Later it
was rejected, as not distinctly Ameri
can, and not to be distinguished
from any other battleship. The
department is still searching for a
suitable subject for the $20 and $50
bills.
It is well to keep a weather eye
on the fellow who prates loudly
about honesty and a good character.

Emmet Items.
Mrs. L. Enbody, in company with
her two children, met with quite a
serious accident while on their way
to the house of worship Sunday a
week ago. Their horse became
frightened and ran away, throwing
them from the carl, breaking Mrs.
Enbody’s arin and dislocating a bone.
Dr. McDonald of Atkinson was at
once called and dressed the wounds.
The children were not hurt.
Lee Jones of Garfield county is
visiting at the homo of John Maring.
Mrs. M. Lyons returned last week
Horn a protracted visit in California.
Charley Hubby, who has been
employed by the irrigation company,
has moved to a place near O’Neill.
Ed Olson, Wright Hitchcock and
David lsh were guests at the John
Carey place Sunday evening.
Thrust at Youth’s Pride.
Dr. Joseph Parker, the noted Lon
don preacher, was recently lecturing
on “Eternity" In a provincial town
and was much annoyed by a young
dandy who was seated near the plat
form. The youth, proud of a new
watch, was continually pulling it out
to see what time it was. Finally the
lecturer could stand it no longer. Look
ing full at the offender he said: "Put
up your watch, young man. We are
considering eternity, not time.”
A Giant Gorilla.
Herr Paschen has just presented to
the Hamburg museum aspelendid speci
men of a giant gorilla, which he him
self shot in the Cameroon hinterland.
The gorilla is seven feet long from the
crown of the head to the tip of its
middle toe, and the span of its arms is
slightly greater than its height. The
woight is adjudged at about 500
pounds. It is said that this is the larg
est specimen possessed by any museum
in the world.

Astounded Tlie Editor.
Editors. A. Brown, of Bennettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised.
“Though long suffering from Dys
pepsia,” he writes, “my wife was greatly
run down. She had no strength or
vigor and suffered great distress from
her stomach, but she tried Electric Bit
ters which helped her at once, and. after
using four bottles, she is entirely well,
can eat anything. It’s a grand tonic,
and its gentle laxative qualities are
splendid for torpid liver.” For Indiges
tion, Loss of Appetite, Stomach and
Liver trouble it,s a positive, guaranteed
cure. Only 50c at P. C. Corrigan.
Their Secret Is Out.
All Sadieville, Ky., was curious to
learn the cause of the vast improvement
iu the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker,
who had for a long time, endured untold
suffering from a chronic bronchial trou
ble. “It’s all due to I)r. King’s New
Discovery,” writes her husband. “It
completely cured her and also cured our
little grand-daughter of a severe attack
of Whooping Cough.” It positively
cures Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Brou
chilis, all Throat nud Lung troubles.
Guaranteed bottles 50c and $1.00. Trial
bottles free at P. C. Corrigan drug store.

Annie Galleget, of La Grange, Ga., ap
plied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve to great
sores on her head and face, and writes
its quick cure exceeded all her hopes.
