A TRIP TO SUM CITY
O'Neill Commercial Chib Invades
Iowa Town.
BANQUET AND TALK BUSINESS
Men of Affairs in Sioux City Show
O’Neill Crowd That Their Visit
Is Appreciated.
Wednesday morning of last week,
although the mercury was 20 below
zero, twenty thretf' members of the
O’Neill Commercial Club braved the
bites of Jack Frost and gathered at
the Great Northern depot to take the
7 o’clock train for Sioux City where
they^vent upon invitation of the
Sisis City Commercial Club, to view
our Iowa neighbor, visit her business
men and talk over matters of mutual
interest regarding the proposed ex
tension of the Great Northern from
this city.
After ^im .Joyce, the gentlemanly
conductor in charge of the train, had
given the engineer the “high ball”
and we were off, roll call disclosed the
following O’Neillites on board: Col.
Neil Brennan, J. F. Gallagher, J. P.
Gallagher, S. J. Weekes, Lyman
Waterman, P. J. McManus, J. F.
O’Donnell, George A. Miles, Jacob
Pfund, J. B. Mellor, J. B. Byan, O. O.
Snyder, D. II. Cronin, T. V. Golden,
Maylon Price, William Laviollette,
W. T Evans, F W. Phillips, W. K.
Hodgkin, Prof. J. V. Dwyer, Chas.
Stout, O F. Biglin, J. II. Meredith.
M. W. Beebe and M. S. Wintermote
of Chambers were also members of the
party.
arriving at nioux uicy at ii:oo tne
delegation was met at the depot by a
delegation from the Sioux City Com
mercial Club headed by O. J. Moore,
president of that organization, and
John McIIugh They were escorted to
the Garretson Hotel which was head
quarters for the O’Neill crowd during
their stay in the city.
The afternoon hours were spent
visiting the manufacturing plants of
the city, including the brewery, and
its many large and well equipped job
bing houses.
In the evening a banquet was ten
dered the visitors at the Mondamin
Hotel which was attended by about
sixty of the leading business men of
the city. O. J. Moore, president of
the commercial club, acted as toast
master. The following Sioux City
gentlemen responded to toasts: Chas.
Dickson, Hon. Geo. D. Perkins, J. C.
Kelley, Judge J. A. Van Wagnon,
while the O’Neillites who furnished
the oratory were: Col. Neil Brennan,
T. V. Golden, S. J. Wcekes and Prof.
J. V. Dwyer. The toasts were all
well delivered and well received by
the banqueters.
After the banquet the delegation
was escorted to the Elks Club where
they met many of Sioux City business
men and were made to feel that they
were the best fellows cn earth
and came from the second best city
in the west.
Thursday was passed in calling on
many of the acquaintances made the
(night before and in visiting the job
bing houses not called upon Wednes
day, and 5 o’clock, the hour, when
our train left for home, came too soon
for most of the party who regretted to
leave the citizens of our hospitable
Iowa neighbor who had treated us
so cordially. O’Neill money must have
been regarded as spurious coin for
Sioux City would not accept it for any
of the necessaries during our two days
visit. The O’Neill delegation found
the Sioux Cityan’s to be a wholesouled
genial lot of people and The Frontier
hopes the Sioux City Commercial Club
will soon visit O’Neill, and it can as
sure the members that the residents
of O’Neill will, in a measure, attempt
to repay them for the loyal welcome
extended last week.
Do you know our price of butterfat,
last half of January, is 29c per pound?
Do you know this means $1.12 to
$1.25 per hundred for milk?
Do you know during the winter of
1902 we paid as high as 27c for butter
fat; and 25c in 1903?
Do you know these are better prices
than dairymen of New York, Wiscon
sin, and other old dairy states who
follow dairying exclusively, are realiz
ing for their milk produced on farms
worth $100 and more per acre?
Do you know this beats raising dol
lar wheat or fifty-centcorn?
Do you know we paid more monej
to the farmers of Nebraska in 1901
than all other creamery companies
operating in the state?
Do you realize what you are losing
if you are not the Owner of a De Lava!
hand separator, and one of oui
patrons?
Do you know that we sell the D<
Laval, the best separator on earth?
Do you know that out of a total o
20.000 separators used In Nebraska
15.000 are De Lavals?
Do you know, if you are not one of
our 20,000 patrons, that it will be to
your interest to call on our represen
tative and talk this over?
We sell separators on easy terms.

The Settlement Statement
O’Neill, Feb. 1.—Editor Frontier:
You ask for an explanation of Nora
Sullivan’s letter which appeared in
the Independent of January 5. On
Tuesday, January 3, wishing to pro
cure her views in regard to settlement,
I consulted her and found her strongly
in favor of the proposition submitted
two weeks previously. I requested
her to dictate a letter for publication.
She agreed to have her sentiments
published. Moreover she asked me to
write the letter, sign her name and
send it to one of the local papers.
This 1 did, following her language as
closely as possible. Nellie Ilagerty.

FIND DEFENDANT GDILTY
Verdict for State in the Nickolizack
Kitnch Case.
LONG TRIAL AND RETRIAL OVER
Jury Asks Judge to Show Accused
Clemency and to Minimize the
Sentence.
1
-h
"We find the defendant guilty as
charged in the second count of the in
formation.”
This was the verdict of the jury in
retrial of the case of the state against
Joseph Nickolizack charged with a
statuatory crime in the vicinity of
Ewing last August, when, it was testi
fied in court, Nickolizack committed
rape on the person of Lena Kimch, a
13-year-old girl.
The verdict was brought into court
by the jury about nine o’clock yester
day morning immediately on reconven
ing after being out over night. As
soon as it was learned that the jury
had arrived at a verdict court was
convened and the Jury called in. Al
though mercury was down to about
twenty below at that hour in the
morning a small audience collected in
the court room and leaned with atten
tive ears over the seats as Clerk Har
mon read the verc ict.
The defendant and his wife sat be
hind the railing at the opposite end of
the room from the clerk of the court
and listened with bowed heads and
downcast eyes while the verdict was
read, their two small children playing
about their knees unconscious of the
grave situation of their father.
Judge Harrington addressed the
jury at some length and commended
them on their verdict, saying he was
glad to see them take a stand for the
protection virtue. The jury addressed
a unanimous request to the judge
that he not only phow the defendant
clemency but mininize the sentence.
The judge said he would consider this
request but would make no promise.
The crime is punishable by imprison
ment from three to twenty years. The
defense will take the case to the
supreme court.
This has been one of the most costly
trials in recent years. The trial of
both cases has taken nearly three
week’s time and a large amount of
costs have been piled up.

Methodists and Presbyterians of the
city have united in a revival effort
and are holding nightly meetings at
the place of worship of the Methodists.
Although the weather is a little severe
for getting out at night a goodly in
terest's manifested, and the pastors
of the two churches are putting forth
earnest efforts to awaken in the minds
and hearts of church going people a
deeper interest in spiritual things, as
well as to bring to the attention of
the public in general the somewhat
neglected thought that there is some
thing better than the gaining of
temporal possessions and worldly
enjoyments.
