I am somewhat interested as I have had an idea of getting one of those snappy farm bargains myself, but so far have been unable to do so owing to the ’ fact that every good thing in that line 1 have yet investigated has been already utilized by some attachee of the county offices, abstractor, legal advisor or their friends. I am only a plain farmer and a poor man, and I find that my class has little or no chance pitted as we are against the gang which holds all of the secrets of the traffic. It is not for me to say that either populist, democrats or re nublicans are responsible in this matter, but I wish to be understood plainly as to my opinion of the manner in which our lands are being appropriated by these scheming land grabbers under the cover of an official robe. Uuless the people awake to the enormity of the crime being perpetrated by this gang and pet’tion the state law makers to enact strict laws prohibiting county officers and their hirelings, clerks, ab stractors and all in position to possess official knowledge from appropriating lands for their own benefit and financial interests while incumbents of office it will be but a matter of a few years until most of these beet lands will be in the hands of the men who run the mill at the county seat. At least a half dozen times I have sent in numbers of land to ascertain whether I could procure tax title. In every case some one clothed with official wisdom, either direct or in direct, was accredited with having paid the taxes in order to secure a sinch upon the lands, anil I am informed by men who have tried personal investigation that it is impossible to look over the books except some of the gang are looking oyer their shoulder at the same time. This is certainly an outrage and too shameful to endure, and while they sit in easy chairs, paid for by the people who they are systematically robbing, they hold up one warning hand admon ishing the people to look out for republi can thieves while with the other hand they are abstracting porfits that should go to the people were it not for the fact that they are in position to grab it be fore the people have an incling. Talk about “rottenness in Denmark”! Great Scott! If these fellows who are hurl ing this epithet at the republican party through their double headed editorials want to smell something rotten they * have oily to smell of themselves and the populist land grabbing gang at O’Neill to get a dose sufficient to turn them wrong-side-out in their efforts to puke. Barrett Scott done wrong and Joe Bartley done wrong, and they were both republican officials. Lest we foget, we will enquire who profitted most by their wrong doing. Among all beneficiaries thus far unearthed more populists than republicans have been found. Then why hold the republicans party alone responsible? It is authoritively stated by one who should know what Bartley did with the money that one of the greatest Omaha papers, which cham pions the democratic and populist cause, holdB $50,000 of the Bartley shortage at the present time. It has been proven time and again that populists hold much of the Scott shortage. Neither of these men sinned for personal beuefit alone. It was at the instigation of friends as much as their own weaknesses that they fell. Among these beneficiaries were numbered both populists and democrats. And now there is “something rotten in Denmark;’’ their leading organ says so. And so there is, but the rottenest of all that is rotten are the records of those who seek to attribute it all to republi canism. There is nothing wrong with the old party’s principles—they have proved their value through long years of trial, the last six of which have sealed their records of a glory that can never die, and opened the eyes of every politi cal faith to their true worth and noble meaning. It is true I have sometime voted for populist candidates. I did it because I bleieved them honest, and there are many among populists and democrats who are honest, noble men. The calou of their politics has nothing to do with the worth of their characters. I do not blame their party that it has some dishonest men in it; it is the men themselves I hold responsible, and 1 cannot understand why some of them will presist in cencuring republicanism becauHe it also has some dishonest men who adovactate its priuciples. Itogues and thieves should suffer penalty commensurate with their crime no matter to what political faith they may cling, but the good name and noble character of our fellowmen should at all times be held in sacred trust—above the taint ot suspicion that now lurks about officers of public trust and others. U. L. Peters. J. J. Holloran, one of the sub stanial farmeis of the Inman country was in the city Monday and made us a short call. Mr. Holloran says he is prospering under “republican rascality” and that he has sold $300 of bogs thie fall, and over $600 worth of hay and has some left yet. A LITTLE OF MR. BLACKMBR'S HISTORY The populist press of Holt county has been spreading the virtues of their candidate for sheriff in print with studious zeal during the pres eut heated campaign and to base one’s opion of the man upon a read ing of those belabored productions it would be supposed Mr. Blackmer boarder on the saintly and was sent from some undiscovered world to serve the people of Holt county in their need of an honest man for sheriff. But fortunately for the public it as a rule places very little reliance upon that kind of twaddle during a campagin. The Frontier does not ask the public to listen to a personal version of its editors’ upon the career of this man Blackmer who is wanting a position of public trust. We there fore quote a statement from one whose long years of acquaintance and business relationships with Mr. Blackmer well qualities him to speak. The statement is explicit and we here insert it, deferring further comment: STATE OF NEBRASKA, ) Holt County, J 88’ Peter Mortensen, being duly sworn, suys that he lived in Holt county,Nebras ka, from about the year 1884 to the year 1899. During that time he was in part nership with W. U. Blackmer at Atkin son except during the first ten years, when he worked for said Blackmer. About the year 1895 the Blackmer Hay company was formed by attaint and W U. Blackmer; that they then owned twelve head of horses, two wagons, five sets double harness, three 0-ft. cut mowers, one rake, one stacker and two sweeps; that it was owned jointly by attaint and Blackmer. W. H. Blackmer was the manager of the company until business was suspended in the spring of 1899, when the company’s property was levied upon and taken by the sheriff of Holt county with an execution issued on a judgment rendered in favor of the sheriff’s wife, Mrs. Ida B. Stewart. At the time the property was taken there were eight horses, three sets double work harness, three mowers, two wagons, one stacker, two hay sweeps, two rakes, 175 tons of hay, 200 bushels oats 1 comp wagon and about $40 each obtained by garnishment pro cess from one Jud London for labor performed by me in hauling and putting up hay. After the failure of the Ex change bank, Blackmer told me the bank held an overdraft of $700 against the hay company. I asked him what we should do about it and he said: “The bank is now busted; will let it go to h—I have been informed that Mrs. Stewart, wife of Sheriff Stewart, bought this claim of Receiver Howard for $1.50. I understand this claim was put in judgment and execution and levy was made on our property to satisfy this claim. Blackmer induced me to con sent to give a bill of sale of the property to the shersff, or his wife, as more could be realized out of it that way. As to what the property sold for I have no knowledge as neither Blackmer nor Stewart ever rendered me a statement. I own the west half of the southwest quarter and the west half of the north west quarter of section 25-27-10 in Holt county. I told Blackmer I wanted to sell it and he suggested that I give him a deed in blank us he could dispose of it to better advantage. I knew nothing of the sale of the land until I offered it for sale to H. A. Allen. He looked up the title and it wus found I did not own it. Blackmer had sold it many months previous and said nothing to me about it, although I was with him all the time and frequently heard me offer it for sale. I lived at his house during all this time . This laud was in no way connected with the partnesship business but was mine personally. Blackmer still oweB me for the land, having never paid a cent although making many promises. 1 worked for Blackmer aud was in partnership with him from 1884 to 1899 During that time I received from him nothing hut my living aud enough money to buy clothing. He lived in town aud had charge of the business while I did the work. I had confidence in him and believed him to be honest. Blackmer so handled the buisness cthat at the end of fifteen years hard work I had $44, which paid my way to Wyom ing, where I now live. At one time I turned over to him $225 which I had earned freighting between Atkinson and Butte. This went with the rest of my property. Peter Mortensen. Sworn to before me and subscribed in my presence this 25th day of Septem ber, 1901. Fred J. Swiugley. (Seal) Notary Public. The case of Ida II. Stewart vs. Blackmer Hay and Stock company was begun in county court February 2d, 1900, by M. F. Harrington as attorney. It was a suit to recover upon a claim of $033.95 overd aft at the Exchange bank bought by Mrs. Stewart of Receiver Howard for $1.50. Judgment wasrendeied against the hay company and ■ x ecutiou issued 'February 23, IS )0. On February 28 Mortesen, W. H. and F. T. Blackmer gave a bill of sale of the property, consideration being $800, about the value of the property. In settling up Mortesen was left out of deal and the property was divided between the sheriff and his deputy, Blackmer. Mortesen was fresh from the old country when he fell into the hands of Blackmer, who used his verdent innocency in a way that doesn’t commend him as sheriff to the intelligent voters of Holt county. Kittie McBride Weds. Cripple Creek, Col., Timea-Citizen: Tuesday evening, at seven o’clock, a very pretty wedding took plaoe in Vic tor in which VV. F. Murphy, and Mies Kittie McBride, of Park City Utah, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The bride was attired in a beautiful shade of blue English whipcord, elabo artely trimmed with cream and blue aplique, with hat to match. Mrs. Harry Waters, sister of the groom, acted as matron of honor, and wore a handsome shade of red of the same material as the bride. Mr. Waters, brother-in-law of the groom, a popular gentleman of this city, acted as groomsman. After the ceremony was performed a reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Waters, a number of friends being present, and a very plea sant time had bv all. l’he dinning room was beautifully dec orated—chrysanthemums being profuse ly used—and an elegant dinner served. The bride is an entire stranger in this city—but was extremely popular, both in Park City and in O’Neill, Neb., her childhood home—where she was loved by all. The groom has only been in our midst a Bhort time—but no stranger ever came to our city that was more popular or highly respected than he—and in Park City, where he spent the greater part of his boyhood days—no oue was ever heard to utter one word against him. The esteem in which both bride and groom are held was plainly seen by the number of beautiful and costly gifts re ceived. The happy couple went to housekeep ing in a cosy cottage on Portland aveune that the groom had prepared for his bride before her arrival. At the ripe age of three score yenrs and ten, Henry Haynes, one of the pioneers of Holt county, passed quietly into the shades of death at his home in this city last Wednesday, after a linger ing illness that had grown upon him through many years, of broken health Henry Haynes was born in Lucus county, Ohio in the year 1831, and re sided in that state until entering the Union army as a members of Company G, Twenty eight Ohio volenteers, in which he served as a private until the close of the warin '63.

The occasion was the benefit of his friend Ryan and the result such a financial success that the beneficiary wrote Quin the follow ing year saying that he would like to repeat the benefit and asking him as a favor to appear once more In the same part. Quin In the meantime had lost two of his front teeth—a' loss which so interfered with his speech that he declined his friend’s request. His letter to Ryan was short, but characteristic: ‘”My Dear Friend: There is no person on earth would sooner serve than yourself: but sir, I will whistle Falstaff for no man. James Quin.’ ’’ Blood. Wc live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high, we are being re freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con tinual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutri ment in it. Back of the blood, is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the whole body going again—man woman and child. If you have not tried it, send for free sample, its agreeable taste will surprise you. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists 403-415 Pearl Street, New York. _soc. and $1.00; all druggist*.
