The Frontier pre dicts that the representative from this county will be one of the most popular as well as useful member of i he house. A man came in the other day with what he thought to be a conundrum; •‘Why is a newspaper like a woman?” The various answers given are: Be cause it has some one to run it. Be cause both have to be known to be ap preciated. Because both are good ad vertising mediums. Because it will change its dress. But the correct an swer is: Because every man should have one of his own, and not be run ning af.er his neighbor’s.—Exchange. Put away your Ping Pong board and balls for the newer absurdity is out, blowing soap bubbles is the new thing. It is said to strengthen the lungs, in crease the circulation of tlie blood, harden the muscles, brighten the mind, enliven the imagination, cure warts, remove freckles, purify the conscience, elevate the morals, create riches, till the missionary boxes, weeten an onion breath, decrease the price of beefstake and ice, abolish monopolies and do a lot of other good things.—Exchange. One of the latest fads is men’s socks for women. There is a rumor preva lent that some wives wear the trou sers, but no one imagined the socks would be appropriated also. If the women continue the invasion of the wardrobe of the men there will be mighty few articles of wearing apparel that the lord of creation can call his two. Ilis hat, shirt, vest, coat, collar. Lie and socks are gone. He has re maining his chewing tobacco, appetite rnd suspenders—not much of a layout for a cold day.—Valentine News. Tuesday the editor received a box if the celebrated Beacon Light cigars manufactured by Ilam Kautzman & Sons, Jefferson, la., with t he compli ments of Mr. Kautzman. Ham evi lently finds the mannfacturingof cigais more renumerative than editing a populist newspaper although, perhaps not so strenuous. We understand Ham has a few chapters upon Holt county populist politics which he may give to the press in the near future. He is well qualified to produce tin in teresting article and one that would be read with interest by friend and foe. O’NEILL. NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1,' i903.

About forty decrees have beentai;en in county tax foreclosure cases the past week. A little thing like an adverse supreme court decision lias no terrors for the land-grabbing land syndicate.

Tnere is water enough t o go around and it is not near as expen sive. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. V. Golden was the scene of much merri ment last Monday night, occassioned by a surprise party which was tendered Miss Lillie bv her many young friends. A very enjoyable time is reported by those present . While the coal men are raking in the sheckels the ice men are busily putting tjp ice with which to rake in the golden coin when July’s scorching rays strike us.

Kin kaid, of O’Neill, was in the city last evening on ids way west over tlie Union Paciflce road. Mr. Kinkaid, as nearly every Ne braskan knows, is Congressman elect from the big Sixth district, being the first republican member ever chosen by that district since it was carved out of tlie old Third district. Mr. Kinkaid wore his customary bland and genial smile that has served him so well and profitably in bis political career, except that it was a little blander and more genial, if possible, than ever. Mr. Kinkaid, or Judge Kinkaid, as lie is more familiarly known, lias made a remarkable light for tlie poll ti dal redemption of his district and everywhere lie goes lie is being warm ly congratulated on bis recent success. If is not often that a candiate can hoiu iiis strength so continuously in the face of defeat. He was twice beaten for congress by William Ne ville, but in spite of this he stuck to it, anti was nominated at tlie Craw ford convention for the third time, after a prolongedcontest with a strong field of candidates. Two years ago lie was defeated by only 200 votes. This year, on his third trial, he was suc cessful over Pat Barry by tlie hand some plurality of 2,700. Speaking of these throe struggles and their suc cessful ending {lie judge said: “I was determined to demonstrate that a man is not necessarily dead because lie is defeated. I would have stayed in the tight for congress if it had been I my intent ion to resign t he next day after being elected. My tight was for an election much more than it was for congress.” Judge Kinkaid will ieave for Wash ington about tlie 121 li of January to become initiated into the duties of Congressman, before taking his seat on the 4th of March. GREdI NORM WRECK A Day of General Misfortune to Train Crew Ends With Derailed Passen ger Coaches Near Jackson. PASSENGERS ESCAPE INJURY. Traveling Men Walk to South Sioux City and Jokingly Relate Their Thrilling Experience. Sioux City Tribune, Dec. 31.—A rkle if about a quarter of a mile with the rain humping along on the tics at the ate of nearly forty miles an hour was he exciting and somewhat novel ex aerience of the passengers on the Will nar and Sioux Kails railroad’s Pacilic short Line train yesterday evening. Four Sioux City men—Clyde A. Mann, D. S. Lewis, C. E. Ellis and Leslie T. Richardson—were among the passengers who hung onto the seats during the wild ride and won dered whether the next moment would be their last. The trip from O’Neill was a long and tedious one and probably one ol the unluckiest Engineer John Flynn and Conductor William Grandjean have encountered in their experience as railroad men. The engine broke down near Page early in the afternoon and all the way to Goodwin about every ten miles the engineer and lire man were compelled to get out and make repairs. Work ing in the steam under the engine bad soaked the clothing of the en gineer with water, but despite the ex posure and inconvenience lie pluckily kept at work in an effort to get the engine in shape to make up lost time. SENT UEIt FLYING ALONG. About the time the t rain reached Goodwin tlie engine appeared to have righted itself and the engineer a*ft> cordingly opened up and sent the train down grade st the rate of about sixty miles an hour to Jackson, which was reached shortly after « o’clock last evening. Coming out of Jackson the train was sent along about t'.fty miles an hour. When about midway between Jackson and South Sioux City, the rail turned outward, the spikes and lisli plates pulling out, and the train ran along on the insKje of the rail a (lfstaneeof iw»a»ly a quarter of a mile before it finally left tfuj rail and bumped along on the ties: The rail the entire distance was overturned, but no damage of any am>uiVv was Resolutions.

Ten of them, including the four Sioux City men, left the train and walked to South Sioux City, live miles, where they notified the company of the acci dent. Conductor ^Gtandjean and the brakeman walked hack to Jackson to intercept a freight which followed the passenger and from Jackson they noti fied the superintendent here. y WRECKING TRAIN SENT. A wrecking train was sent out about 8 o’clock and the work of replacing the train on the track was finished about 3 o’clock this morning. The track was.repaired today. “No, there wasn’t any panic among th : passengers,” said Clyde A. Mann, wlib left his baggage with the wreck and walked to South Sioux City where he caught an electric car to thecily. “We were bowling along smoothly enough when of a sudden there was a heavy jar, tlie coach began to sway and careen, so much so that I thought it would be overturned. Then it righted,-and kept bumping along, gradually lessening the speed until it came to a stop after a quarter of a mile of very strenuous riding. There were no‘screams of women, cries of ihildren nor* curses of strong men’— everybody just sat still and bung on waiting to see what would happen next. There were, of course an ex ception or two. One man who sat in the rear of the coach, leaped to his feet and dashed out on the platform with the intention of jumping. He took a look at the flying landscape and untiled back into the car. TELLING STORIES. “Charley Ellis and I were sitting in i double scat with a fat traveling nan, who had been joking and telling tories all afternoon,” Mr. Mann add d. He hadn’t any dinner nor supper, lid was just telling us how he’d pun ilia porterhouse the size of a sheet ton stove when the train began bunip Mg along. The traveling man’s eyes tuck out at least two inches and his ace .grew purple as he gripped his eat and yelled: ‘Hang on, boys: hang n tight; don’t let go; were off the rack.’ He kept yelling till the train topped. ,“\Ve crawled out of the coach as oon as we could,” continued Mr. >lann, “and found that one of the ails had turned. As far as we could ee by the light pf the brakeman’s autern, as he walked back toward NUMBER 27'. - Jackson, the rail was pulled up. It Is evident the wheels on the one side ! kept to the uninjured rail, while on i he other they had run on the inside Mange. Had Engineer Flynn lost his head and attempted to apply the air suddenly it’s likely the train would have been hurled from the track. But he displayed great presence of mind by gradually applying the brakes and bringing the train to a standstill. “Four of us Sioux City men, with ibout six other passengers, deposited our baggage In the mail car and struck out for South Sioux City, where we caught a trolley car. The passengers Acre sitting in the derailed coaches out on t he prairie when we left, wait ing for assistance. Among them was our friend the fat traveling man who hadn’t had anything to eat all day.’» Jury's Verdict. The body of Adolph Kittendorff, which was found in a snow driftabout live miles northeast of town last Sat urday morning, mention of which was made in last weeks Frontier, was brought to town Saturday afternoon, and taken to McCaffery’s undertaking rooms where many people viewed the remains that night. Those who viewed the body before it was brought to town say that from the tracks made by deceased it was evident that he lost his way and, coining to the wire fence, walked along it untlkhe ^ became so fatigued that he fell by the fence to rise no more. When found lie had hold of the fence with both hands and the fence had to be cut to remove his hands therefrom.
