We received a card from Ed. Stans
Oury the first of the week ordering
liis paper changed from Stanton to
Wisner, to which station he has been
transferred by the Nye Schneider Co.
Ed. expressed great gratification over
the election and especially the elec
tion of Judge Kinkaid. He is well
pleased with his present location but
is still of the opinion that O’Neill is
the best town along the pike.
That the O’Neill National Bank is
destined to become one of the leading
financial institutions of this portion
of Nebraska is demonstrated by the
statement published in this issue of
The Frontier. The footing now reaches
$128,141.50 and when it is considered
that the bank has been in operation
but about a year and a half it speaks
well indeed for the management of
that institution and the prosperity
of this portion of toe state.

A GREAT GAME, j
Our Citizens on Exhibition of the
Great Americas Game.
O’NEILL VERSUS NELIGH
Skill vs. Pluck an 1 Bone vs. Brawn.
The Contest Ended in a Tie.
All who witnessed the contest be
tween the Neligh and O’Neill High
School teams on Thanksgiving, will
bear testimony to the fact that foot
ball develops qualities that challenge
the admiration of all true lovers of
manly sport. It was the first game of
football ever witnessed in our city,
but many heard or read of the univer
sity contests, and curiosity was screw
ed up to “G sharp” to behold an ac
tual demonstration of the Great
American Game.
In the toss-up for goal, or ball, the
visiting capatin won, and chose to de
fend the east and attack the west
goal, letting O’Neill have the ball for
the kick-off. When the leather was
put in motion, the Neligh men. vete
rans of the gridiron, soon secured pos
session of it and carried it to the 55
yard line on the first down.
O’Neill not yet being at home in
the harness, the Nelighites forced
them back, and back, for two downs
in succession, and the third time by a
cunning pass of the leather sent their
red-headed hero around the left end
for a touchdown, who dodging or out
stripping all opposition, placed the
ball behind O’Neill’s goal line, mid
way between the goal and the south
side line. Spite of the wind, Barker
sent the ball between the wickets for
a goal, and thus, in four minutes from
the start, the scoer was (> to 0 in favor
of Neligh.
The suddenness of this dash and its
successful result for the visitors filled
the home team with consternation,
but they soon came to their senses
and got into the game.
ivengn now ueienueu cue west goal,
and on the kick-off secured the ball as
a matter of course, and lined up con
fident of victory. Once more they
crowed the home men back into their
own territory, when, by a desperate
effort, O’Neill holds them at bay for a
third down, and secures possession of
the ball. At this point the fortunes
of the game turned.
On the line-up, Kline sent Boyle
around the left end for a five yard
gain and around the right for five
yards more. The pluck of the home
team was too much for the endurance
of the visitors, who though fighting
desperately, were forced to ret reat be
fore the the skillful “interference” of
Brennan, Biglin and McGirl, and were
eluded by the wiley glides of Boyle
who made his gains past the 55 yard
line, past the 25 yard line, past 10
yard line, past the 5 yard line—clear
up to within 3 yards of Neligh’s goal
line. The visitors were gasping.
But just at the time when ail look
ed favorable for a touch down, the
home team lost track of the gains,
tried a doubtful play on which they
only held their own, and much to
their disgust, were forced to hand
over the ball. By slow gains, Neligh
now worked towards the center of the
field, when half time was called.
In the second half the leather was
Neligh’s for the kick-off, which sent
the ball to O’Neill’s ten yarn line.
The latter was slow to pick it up and
was downed at the twenty yard line.
Boyle and Melvin (substituted for
Sullivan as left half) successively car
ried the ball around their respsctive
ends for sudstantial gains, the hope Of
the home boys soaring higher at every
down. Enthusiasm was at its height.
The line-up was on Neligh’s 50 yard
line when Kline sent Boyle around
the left for a gain of 20 yards. The
Referee, however, brought them back
on a technicality. Kline now tried a
skillful device, passing the ball to
Melven, who quickly returned it to
Kline, yet feigning possession of it,
started to run around the right end.
Thoroughly deceived, the Nelighites,
like Antelopes, bounded upon the
polite Melvin, while Kline was travel
ing west unmolested with the pigskin,
which he deposited right behind the
enemy’s goal, amid the ringing cheers
of the crowd.
The score was now 0 to 5 in favor of
Neligh, and would be even if O’Neill
kicked a goal. Would they do it? In
setting the ball for the place kick, it
was allowed to touch the ground by
accident. The Neligh claimed that
'this should forfeit the goal, but the
captain being olf-sided at the time,
was in no position to claim technicali
ty, and tlie Referee allowed O’Neill
to try for goal. Boyle sent the leat
her right over the tape, and a goal
was placed to the credit of O’Neill,
i Once more they line up on the cen
ter of the field, and once more the
| home team crowded the visitors, who
were now playing against time." Only
fire minutes more to hold them down”
was the cry with which Captain Bar
ber urged on his men. Everything
looked fair for O’Neill to make an.
other touchdown, when on a fumble
they lost the ball. Neligh made a
desperate eflort to force the ball Into
their opponents territory, but went
down repeatedly before the stone
wall line of Meredith, Brennan and
Ellis.
On the last down, Brennan plunged
upon the Neligh quarter back, and
seized the ball, as the Referee blew
his whistle declaring the contest at
an end. The score was 6 to 6.
The line-up was as follows:
O’Neill. Neligh.
Campbell.L. E.Barber
Ellis.L. T.Warner
McGreevy.L. G.Brown
Meredith.G.Anderson
Dwyer .R. G.Lunbevall
Brennan.R. T.Graybiel
Biglon&O’Donnell. R. E.Huffman
Kline.Q.Huffman
Boyle .L. H.Dewitt
Sullivan&Melvin...R. II.Johnson
McGirl.F. B... ..Spaulding
While eight of the O’Neill players
had never seen a game of football, yet
after the surprise of the first few
minutes had worn off, they played as
if “to the manner born.” The girls,
however, should not give all their
praise to t lie half-backs, who run with
the ball, altllough their play was
phenomenal; but tile linemen, who do
the heavy hand-to-hand work, were
also very much in the game. Every
man of them played like a hero, and
the Nelighites never made a breach
in their line.
The game left us only one regret,
which is that the lateness of the sea
son makes it impossible to see an
other contest.

ifeligh Leader: The high school
football team went to O’Neill Thurs
day to play a matched game with the
eleven of its high school. They inten
ded to leave at 7 o’clock a. m., but
were detained untill 12 o’clock by the
train being that much behind sche
dule time. They have been having
the advantage of systematic practice
and training within the past few days
and were in high hopes of winning
out a victory. A ’phone message to
the Leader gives the score fl to 6, but
it was stated that there was a point
yet to be decided by the umpire which
would give tile game to tho Neligh
boys by a score of fi to 6.
A heartrending tale is told on one
of our Croighton young bloods who
desired to arrange for a dance with
his best girl and called at her home a
few days ago. The mother met him
at the door and invited him in and in
response to his inquiry informed him
t hat the idol of ids heart, was up stairs
She called to her and informed her
t hat George was there and wanted to
see her. She responded: “I can’t
come just now, I’in taking a bath.”
George was in a hurry so he stepped to
the foot of the stairs and said: “Never
mind, slip on something and come
down, 1 want to see you.” So she
slipped on the top step and came down
and he saw her.—Peoples News.

political, could think of nothing that
would make the aforesaid republican
look so dejected, unless it pertained to
some political disappointment, says,
“what’s the matter?” “Matter”
echoed the republican, “there is mat
ter enough to make an old-time le
publican fighter like me sick and tired
of the whole works, Bob Marsh is a
pop,” and he expectorated a good sized
mouthful of saliva, stained with
Spearhead Juice, upon the fast increas
ing snow pile upon the corner, and
gazed across the deserted street as if
seeking consolation from the gentle
zephyrs that tossed the snowflakes up
on his woe-begone countenance as if
seeking to console him in his grief.
When the populist received the above
information his grim visage lightened
up like a full moon breaking through
the clouds on a rainy night and
heaved a sigh of relief. A great bur
den was evidently lifted from his
mind. “So Bob is a pop” says the
populist smiling serenely upon his re
publican brother, “well to tell you the
truth, I am glad of it, now our party
will be invinciable in O’Neill and
Grattan township, for I tell you Bob
has a lot of friends in Grattan, a fact
which he demonstrated at the last
election, and if it had not been for
appeals made by the Big Guns to the
populists in O’Neill and the induce
ments held out to the democrats, he
would have been elected hands down.
Yes I am glad of it. Bob is a bright
young fellow and deserves the best
there is going. Good news! Well, I
should say! Let’s go and have a hot
one on the strength of it” “Yessir,”
says the republican, “he is a pop, he
bought Thompson’s pop factory, and
is now manufacturing that commod
ity but still votes the straight repub
lican ticket,” and the follower of
Roosevelt laughed long and loud at
the look of grim disgust and discom
fiture upon the face of the populist
that was beaming with smiles a
moment nerore. "mime your
smart don’t you,” the fusionist mut
tered as he started up street tod round
his sorrow in a brandy and soda,
while the grinning republican drop
ped into the nearest liquid dispen
siary and set them up to the house on
the strength of his pun. Good one,
wasn’t it?
