James McCarthy returned last week from torn and troubled Colorado, where he has been the past four years. Jim says Colorado has been lpft in bad shape by the strike, business of al] kinds being practically at a stand still and it will be many months be fore the state can recover her former self. lie expects to remain here for a few months. The crop proposition in Holt county —or perhaps more properly the north half of the county—is unmistakably the best evep. Harvesting has pro gressed far enough to leave no doubt as to the small grain yield. Many farmers report better than twenty bushels of wheat to the acre and oats forty and fifty bushels. Corn, the best of it, is two weeks behind, but with most favorable weather condi tions is humping right along. Holt county has the rare geographical combination that a crop will be pro duced be the season wet or dry. The Elkhorn river forms a dividing line between highlands and lowlands, and which ever turn the season takes one half of the county will produce a full crop. A medical authority takes this scientific view of a laugh: “It is good to laugh. There is probably not the remotes corner or little inlet of the minute blood vessels of the body that does not feel some wavelet from the great convulsion produced by hearty laughter shaking the central man. The blood moves rapidly—probably its chemical, electric or vital condition is distinctly modified, it conveys a differ ent impression to all the organs of the body as it visits them on the peculiar mystic journey when the man is laughing from what it does at other times. The time may come when physicians will prescribe to a torpid patient so many peals of laughter to be undergone at such and such a time.” Pitied be the person who can not laugh. If you have never done it, indulge a big laugh today and see how good it is. At the home of the bride in this city the ceremony took place which united Mr. Charles George and Miss Anna Davidson in the bonds of holy wedlock. Promptly at 9 a. m. this morning, the friends having gathered at the home, in respond to the peals of the organ which sounded fourth thewedding march thebride;and groom took their place in front of the large window in the east room where the beautiful ceremony of the Metho dist church was pronounced by Rev. Amos Fetzer of the local church. The bride is well and fvorably known to the entire commuuity, she being a member of M. E. church as well as several of the societies of the town. The groom, who is a resident of Mitch ell, S. D., formerly resident in O’Neill where about seventeen years ago he worked in The Frontier ollice. He, with a brother-in-law, is now in the printing business in Mitchell. The couple took the morning Northwestern train for Sioux City, where they will spend a few days, after which they will be at home to all who may call in Mitchell, S. D. Indications point a little to horse thief opperations around over the county. Con Keys of this city last a line gray mare along about .1 uly 5 and has heard nothing of her. Others have been heard of who have lost horses. If the business keeps up it may be necessary to adopt the early day methods in dealing with this class. As a suggestion to the real estate men and others to be benelitted there by what’s the matter with getting up an exhibit for the state fair? One half the enterprise now that was in evidence during the years of drought and withered vegetation would do great things for the community. Let us have a revival of the old-time enterprise. It was announced last week that the packing house strike was oil. So it was for a short time, but is now worse than ever. Not only are the butchers all out but a general sympa thetic strike has been declared which affects all departments of the packing houses. The striking coming as it does just at the beginning of the cattle shipping season, it hits western stock men about as hard as any others. The official call is out for the annual gathering of the populist clans in this city on August 6th. The call calls for a convention of 116 delegates and says the business of the convention will be to nominate candidates for the follow ing offices: County attorney and two representatives for the Fiftieth dis trict. Delegates will also be selected for the state, congressional and sena torial conventions, and the county committee reorganized. A great crowd of people came in from the rural realms Friday last to attend the Gollmar show, which put on two exhibitions and a street parade that day. They put up a tirst-class show, by far the best ever along this way, clean and respectable. The menagerie had many interesting feat ures; the circus performers were all experts, some marvelous feats being performed. Gollmar Bros, have made for themselves a good reputation here and the town will be glad to have them come back any time. On Wednesday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Lyons occurred the marriage of Miss Lulu Earel of Emmet to Mr. Claude Niconlin of Algona, Iowa, Rev. T. W. Bowen of the Pres byterian church of this city officiat ing. The wedding was a quiet, private affair. The couple departed the fol lowing day for Algona, where the groom has, The Frontier is informed, been engaged in the hardware busi ness for some years. The bride is one of Ilolt county’s fairest daughters and has many friends here who extend congratulations and best wishes. The proposition to hold a street fair and carnival seems to have fallen through, the reason assigned by some who had contributed liberally and spent much time to raise the necessary funds being an effort on the part of certain high officials et al to turn the town open in a style that brought a reign of terror at Bonesteel the past few weeks. The chairman of the committee that had been boost ing along the proposition for a legiti mate carnival has pulled out and re fuses to have anything to do with the designs which he considers an endeav or to turn the town over to gamblers and grafters. The money for the fair was raised in a short time but the eruption came when the “citizens’* column was stuffed and it was voted to grant the street franchises.
