V
ATKINSON LOOKING
FOR SHORT LING
Wants It to Connect With
the Atkinson and Boyd
County Hoad.
PROMISES ALL TRAFIC
Completion of Long Talked of Project
Into Boyd County Now Said
To Be Assured.
The latest extension talk of the Great
Northern railroad comes from Atkinson
under date of November 14 in the shape
of the following: The result of an in
terview held at Sioux City reoently be
tween L B. Allen, superintendent of the
Wilmar and Sioux Falls division of the
Great Northern railway, and T. A.
Harris, > ice president of the Atkinson
& Niobrara Iiiver railway, in the course
of which the latter gentleman presented
the possibilities of an extension of tbe
Great Northern Short Line from O’Neill,
the termius, to Atkinson, is being
anxiously awaited at this place. The
fact that Mr. Allen expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the facts
and figures furuisned by Mr Harris,
whom he assured the infomation
would be taken up with the proper
officials, is encouraging news. Iu case
the Great Northern people deem the
twentymiles extension of their road
from O’Neill here an advisable action,
this road would, it is rumored, get the
entire eastern business of the Atkinson
& Niobrara River railway, and the
present indications point toward the
the connection of these two roads at
this place.
Should this link be built, Atkinson
would have a competing line that would
not only reduce its freight bill, but
tbe heavy expense of tbe entire com
mercial field in Boyd and Gregory
(South Dakota) counties as well. Be
sides, it would actualize a project that
has long been in agitation.
Work on tbe Atkinson & Niobrara
River railroad, the new line being con
structed from this place through thirty
fiive miles of as fertile an agricultural
and as splendid a stock country as exists
anywhere, to Butte, the terminus and
county seat of Boyd county, is rapidly
progressing. Quarters have been erected
for the laborsers and their teams out of
this place about twenty five miles, which
distance has already been graded. Tbo
company’s surveyor has made his esti
mate of tbe amount of ties neces-ary
and tbe same have been contracted for
and will arrive in a few days. It is now
an established certainly that this load
will he built by tbe first of the year.
Chambers Bugle; We are pained to
learn of Die death of Mrs. \V . O, Ileckart,
formerly of this place, which occurred
at her home in Oregon. We noticed an
account of her death in a clipping taken
from an Oregon paper. The circum
stances attendant upon her death were
sad in the extreme. A reception in honor
of the Presbyterian minister had been
held at her house in the eveniug of her
death. Mrs. Ileckart and her husband
were retiring when her nephew called
her across the hall. In returning, the
hall being dark, she missed her fooling
and fell down the stairs, breaking her
neck. Mrs. Ileckart was well know
in this community and was admired and
beloved for her atniblity and many
endearing qualities.

to jail. The new county seat is 12 miles

| due east, by opening and grading a new
, road, putting in bridges, etc.

South Omaha Ni r 20 —Receipts of
cattle tolorably liberal, about 15,000 for
three days. Corn fed cattle are corniug
in a little heaveri right along but mostly
from Iowa Good to choice beeves
scarce, demand active at steady to
strong prices. Half fat and short fed
steers are a drug on the market, being
slow sellers at even prices. Cows and
mixed stock in fait supply market active
steady to strong all around. Trade in
stookers and feeders active and shade
stronger on desirable grades. Medium
weight and common grades slow and
dragging.
Hog receipts are very heavy. Ne
braska’s hog crop appears to be short
and packers have to pay good prices to
gel hogs here, the bulk of the receipts
coining from Iowa and our market is
the highest on the river and right np to
Chicago. Today with over 12,000 on
sale market is 10c higher, except on
light weight hogs Range $5 50 to $5.80
bulk $5.70 to $5 75. Average today 15c
higher than a week ago and prospects

Columbus Journal: A counterfeit $10
silver certificate with Hendricks head
has made its appearance in this section,
and those who are fortunate enough to
be offered $10 bills are hereby cautioned
to observe that the chief points of dis
tinction between the counterfeit and the
original are the failure of the counterfeit
engraver to put in a comma between
•‘Washington” and‘‘D. C." on the faoe
of the note, and a reversed letter in a
panel on the back.
With one or two exceptions, O’Neill
merchants are the poorest advertisers in
seven states No paper comes to our
exchange table with as little advertising
as the Holt county papers in general
and O’Neill papers in particular. Mer
chants all over the slate use from a
quarter to a full page of their home
papers ever week to tell the people
what they have to sell and for how
much l’he Frontier is not “hollering”
because it hasn’t business enough to
keep it busy—it has all it can handle—
but we dislike to see Holt connty mer
chants go to sleep. Wake up, gentle
men and ladies, wake up!
As the long, dark nights of winter
come on it might not be a bad idea for
the city authorities to make some
provision for illuminating the dark
spots in the city by street lights. The
gas lamp is beooming quite popular in
the smaller towns and is considerably
cheaper than eleotric plants. Albion has
recently put in such lights, upon which
the News offers this comment: The gas
street lamps were lighted Tuesday
evening for the first time. While not
giving as much light as a good arc
electric light, they were exceedingly
brilliant, and owing to their being
placed low down they lighted the walks
for a block or two very nicely. Much
favorable comment was heard relative
to them.”
