Bethea laid aside his official duties and retired to private life. He served two years as a mem ber of the board, the last year being chairman of that body and always performed his duty fearlessly and honestly regardless of friend or foe.

County Clerk Gilmour and Deputy Harnish were at their respective posts bright and early Thursday morning with a pleasant smile and good cigars for all who might call whether on business or pleasure bent. In the re cording department clerks Conklin, Hodgkin and Miss Mary Joyce were recording instruments like old timers. A republican upon entering the office would hardly know there had been a radical change in the office force ex cept that the air appeared purer and more invigorating, or at least that is the way it appeared to us.

This is an appoint ment agreed upon solely as a reward of merit for political work rendered by Lindsey, who Is one of the mast ' active partisans in Nebraska. DIVINE ATTRIBUTE OF IT. The Conservative: The Conserva tive believes that ex-State Treasurer ' Bartley ought to be pardoned. He , has suffered enough! Justice has beeu appased! Further punishment for . this mis-inlluenced, mal-guided man | is mere savagery. It is brutal ven- j geance. ft is not civilized Christiani ty. It is pagan barbarity. It is cruel- ] ty to his devoted wife and unhappy < children. ] An executive with moral courage and conscience enough to let him out ; by a free and full pardon would suit The Conservative and please God! j Since the above was in type Gover- » nor Savage has '‘filled the bill.” , “———, CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL. Washington, D. C., Jau. 6.—The Pacfic cost members of congress have I agreed upon a Chinese exclusion bill. I It contains over forty pages, and is drawn so as to absolutely prevent I Chinese from coming to this country save officials and those who already are here. Certificates and registra- ] tion are provided, and the most rigid I inspection compelled. Transporta- 1 tion companies are made responsible ' for bringing Chinese to this country ( not entitled to enter. Chinese in Ha- i waii, the Philippines and Porto Rico i are not allowed to enter the United i States nor are Chinese allowed to en- 1 ter these islands. \ ^ ► t A TREMENDOUS OBJECT LESSON American Economist: Disburse ments of dividends and interest amounting to about $500,000,000 are f taking place during this first week in ( January, 1902. It is very much the 1 largest sum ever distributed in this ' form in the United States, and acoord- < inglv it may properly be considered as * representing by far the highest point 3 in material prosperity ever reached in 1 the United States. No country on earth can show anything like it. The grand total of $500,000,000 is more than double what the distribution of divi- ( dend and interest payment amounted to in the first week in January, five years ago. Then we were staggering under the four years of Tariff reform and Free-Trade. Now we have not quite completed four and a half years of restored Protection to American in dustry and labor. What a contrast between then and now! Five hundred millions of dollars is a big sum fo be scattered broadcast, through this land of ours, a mighty sum to bo paid out here and to stay hprc. For, mark you it dose stay here and it does not go abroad any more, not above 1 per cent, of it, to enrich creditors in foreign countries. Reason why: We don’t owe anything now to foreigners. Why? Because in four and a half .years of “McKinley and Protection” our trade balances have amounted to over 1200,000,000, and in settling these immense balances Eu rope has been compelled to send back our securities, so that we now owe Eu rope very little, if anything, and only an infinitesimal portion of the $500’ 000,000 disbursed goes to any but our own people. Not long ago, say four or five years, our great railroad corpora tions were sending vast amounts of money to London and the Continent pay dividends on stocks and interest on bonds owned abroad. This year the checks are made payable to American citizens and not to foreign, All because the Republica, policy ' of Protection enables, ps Vo produce so large a proportion of what we use audio require payment in casli or the return of our securities held abroad for the enormous surplus of our exports over our imports, i There is a tremendous object lesson ) in the disbursement of $500,000,000 ; among the people of the United States during this first week in January, 1002 The Market. South Omaha Jan. 8,1902.—Receipts of cattle have been very heavy the first two days of this week and market ■suffered a decline of from 10 to 25c all around. Today however, receipts are lighter and market strong with a good part of the decline regained. Good to ■hoice beef steers are scarce but de mand is good and prices are strong to i dime higher than yesterday. Cows ind mixed stock in good supply and market stronger in most cases 10c Higher. Stockersand feeders in limited supply but demand good and market stronger. Receipts of hogs continue liberal. Today with 10,000 on sale market, spened slow and draggy and is fully 5c lower, making a decline of about 20c ’or three days. Range $5.75 to $6.40 aulk $0. to $6 20. It looks like receipts must lighten up soon and when they 1o we look for better prices. Sheep receipts moderate and market steady to firm. Nye & Buchanan Co. A nice line of men’s pants for sale :heap at Harrington’s 27-3 Dates Fixed. Judges.!. J. Harrington and \V. II. Westover, met in O’Neill last rhuraday to arrange the terms of sourt for the Fifteenth judicial dis trict.

Hie judges did not announce which ounties they will preside over for the 'ear. H. R. Henry and John Leis have re ired to private life Mr. Leis expects o leave in a few weeks for Jackson, S'eb., where he purchased a louring mill some time ago. iVe do not know what Mr. lenry, intentions are but he will >robably return to his farm and con inue carving out his fortune from the ertile and virgin soil of old Holt, these gentlemen made good faithful tticials, and although not of our wlitical faith, The Frontier is not so larrow minded and biased that it will ot give them due credit ahd it hopes hat their future undertakings in life fill be as successful as was their dministration of county affairs.

The Nebraska State Journal has re dueed its prices to sudscribers outside of Lincoln and sudurbs from $7.50 to $5.00 per year, including the big Sun day paper, or $4.00 per year without Sunday. The price of the Sunday issue will be $1.50 per year. By this action it is presenting its state readers with thousands of dollars, but the result will be thou sands of new subscribers, thus enlarg ing its usefulness and abbing to its value as an advertising medium. In stead of any lessening in the effort to make it a iirst-class State Paper, the Journal will be improved in every de partment, making it the best newspa per in the state for Nebraskans. It is published at the State Capital, which has always been the center of things political and social of a state nature. The Journal’s state tele graphic service excels that of all com petizors which, with its complete associated press reports and special telegraph service from Washington, makes it the paper for Nebraska people. A. L. Bixby’s department is one of the most widely read in the west, and the fair and unprejudiced editorial treatment of all state matters has made the Journal thousands of warm friends. This big reduction in price which now makes the six week day papers eight cents a week, and the seven day paper ten cents a week, will make the Journal the most widely read paper throughout Nebraska.

The Frontier hopes that his venture will be successful and that in time he may own as many elevators sis any firm in the United States. The Frontier congratulates S. J. Weekes upon his re-appointment as register of the land office. This ap pointment was agreed upon at a con ferance held by Senators Millard and Dietrick last Wednesday. John has made a good faithful official and his many friends not only in Holt coun ty, but throughout the state, will be pleased at his reappointment. The Frontier desires to congrat ulate Col. Neil Brennan upon his election as vice-president of the Nebraska and Iowa Implement Dealers’ Association. This is one of the largest organizations of its kind in the United States and it is quite an honor to be selected as one of its chief officers. We can assure the members of the organization that they made no mistake in selecting the Colonel for this position and that he will fill the position with credit to himself and the organization.
