It is not often the even temper of
the genial John Horisky becomes
ruffled, but last Friday he became
the victim of an embarrassing joke
that could not well be avoided. John
conveys the United States mails to
and from trains and as the morning
Northwestern passenger was pulling
into the station one of his span of
black mares which were hitched to
the dray brought forth a colt. John
did not object to having the third
horse but it was a little embarrassing
to have the cruel c*owd congregate
and give you the horse laugh under
such circumstances.
The Button Land Co., a real estate
firm of Plainview, have opened an
office in O’Neill in the Fallon build
ing south of the land office. Peter
Kelly of this city is to represent the
company here. This is one of the ex
tensively operating real estate con
cerns of north Nebraska , being or
ganized with a capital of $50,000.
They carry on an extensive business
and are doing much to settle up the
vacant places in this section of the
state. On one day last month nine
teen car loads of emigrants were un
loaded at Plainview to settle on land
bought of this company. Choosing
Mr. Kelly for manager is a wise
selection. He is thoroughly acquaint
ed with thiscountry and will no doubt
make a successful real estate hustler.

Mrs. Grothe Suicides
Mrs. August Grothe met a sad death
by drowning at her home near Emmet
On Thursday night last. The woman
had been mentally effected for some
months and on Thursday night just
about dark, while the rest of the
family were outside doing up the
chores, she left the house and was not
seen again until the next morning
when her lifeless body was found by
her husband in the water tank in the
barn yard. As soon as she was missed
from home on Thursday night Mr.
Grothe and son searched the premises
over for her and finally gave up the
search and retired for the night.
Arising early in the morning they
again took up the search, when Mr.
Grothe chanced to pass near the
water tank and made the gruesome
discovery. Whether the woman
plunged into the tank with selfde
struction intention or whether she
was wandering about in a deranged
state and fell in of course can not be
known, but the former is probable.
Coroner Trueblood was summoned
out from O’Neill and an inquest was
held. The verdict rendered stated
the deceased came to her death by
drowning with suicidal intent.
Henrietta Polzin was boen in Alt
Ituduitz Proviuce, Brandenburg,
Germany, on October 29, 1841; died at
Emmet, Neb., on April 14, 1904, being
62 years, 6 months and 16 days old.
She was married to August Grothe
in Germany on December 27,1869. In
1880 they came to Scribner, Dodge
county, Nebraska, and In 1889 to Holt
county. Two sons and two daughters
were born to them, but one son no#
living, William F., with his family,
residing on the farm with his parents.
The funeral occurred at the house
on Saturday, being largely attended
by friends of the family. Interment
was made at Atkinson.
We desire to express our heart felt
gratitude to the kind neighbors who in
so many ways assisted us in our late
affliction and assure them their kind
ness will not soon be forgotten.
August Grothe and Family.
True Voice, Omaha: Last week
Mr. John V. Dwyer, a member of the
graduating class of Creighton univer
sity, was appointed superintendent of
the O’Neill High school. This good
news was a cause of much pleasure to
Mr. Dwyer’s friends in Omaha and at
the university. In view of the fact
that the O’Neill High school ranks
third in the state, his appointment is
considered all the more noteworthy.
Mr. Dwyer’s course at Creighton has
been somewhat desutory, leaving
college several times to take up work
in the minesout west. Yet, notwith
standing this fact, he stands well
toward the front in his class, and will
graduate with honors. His experience
in the world has been much varied
and this, together with his natural
aptitude and intellectuality, will fit
him'for the position he has secured.
It is the sincere hope of his well-wish
ing friends that Mr. Dwyer will dis
play as much cleverness in acquitting
himself of his duties as head of the
O’Neill High school as he has exhibit
ed in the past.
Cattle Pastured
Will take limited number of cattle
to pasture during summer. Running
water, shade and plenty of grass.—R.

To Tho Independent
“No might nor greatness to mortality
Can censure scape; back • wounding
calumny
The whitest virtue strikes. What king so
strong
Can tie the gall up In tho slanderous
tongue?
“No, ‘tls slander
Whose edge Is sharper than the sword, whose
tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose
breath
Hides on the posting winds, and doth belle
All corners of the world; kings, queens and
states.
Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave
This viperous slander enters."

The foregoing telegram brought

passed, the bill opens 416,000 acres of
land on the Ito^cbud Indian reserva

South Dakota senators to provide for
a charge of 84 per acre for the first
three months following the opening.
During the following three months
the charge will be 83 and thereafte
82.50 per acre.
The bill had passed the house sev

the president, who is expected to ap
prove it. The regulations governing
the sale of Rosebud land will be taken
up by Representative Burk immedi
ately when the president affixes his
signature.
