Why delay in coming to Brennan’s to
get your garden seeds; we have a new

variety of each. The best is always
cheapest. Nell Brennan. 35-2
A very pleasant and enjoyable cotil
lion party was given in Hotel Evans
dining room last Saturday evening in
honor of J. P. Mann, who had been
out from Chicago for a week. The
dining room was brilliantly lighted
and with freshly papered walls and
shining floors the guests spent a most
delightful e 'ening in the gaiety of
dance to inspiring music.
Exquisite weather wasifurnished for
the Johring sale, which was one of the
largest ever held in this section, net
ting Mr. Johring, so The Frontier un
derstands, close to $5,000. The crowd
of bidders was unusually large, which
establshes and affirms the old truth
that It pays to advertise. Mr. Johring
was not afraid to put a, few dollars
into the right kind of sale bills and
other advertising, and the result was
a big crowd of bidders.
The best of everything is none too
good for the people of this counly in
matters of good garden seeds. “Bren
nan” makes a speciality of keeping
the best. We have Sioux City and
Nebraska seeds in bulk and package,
don’t get deceived by having people
say that their’s are “jnst as good.”
A counterfiter will tell you that you
can pass his dollar just as good as a
good dollar, but it will get caught.
You should not be deceived for the
best is always the' cheapest. Neil
Brennan. 30-2

O. F. Biglin, John Carton, H. A.
Polk and P. F. Thompson yesterday
went to the northeast part of the
county to look up the McElhaney sec
tion of land on which the Elkhorn
Valley bank holds a second mortgage
of $10,000. Receiver Biglin expressed
fear that the depositors would realize
very little if anytning on this security
as there is a first mortgage against
the property of some ten or twelve
thousand. The visit of the receiver
with the three depositors to the land
is to ascertain something of its value.

Last Saturday’s Sioux City Tribune
contained the picture of C. J. Milligan,
of the firm of Ryan & Milligan of this
city, as one of the “cowboys” who will
ride a prancing mustang in the
inaugural parade at Washington on
March 4. Cowboy Milligan sent over
to his partner in O’Neill for a pair ol
fringed and flapping shaps for the
occasion and has probably been in
training by riding steers around the
Sioux City stock yards. A bunch ol
horses went through on the North
western Tuesday for the cow men tc
ride in the parade.
The O’Neill Dramatic company
presented “Sea Drift” Tuesday after
noon and evening to large and eiv
thusiatic audiences. The cast was a
strong one and each actor seemed par
ticularly well fitted for the part. Miss
Bee McCafferty, as Mother Carew, was
especially strong, rendering her part
with a strength and force rarely founc
in an amateur. By her very clevei
interpretation of this difficult role
Miss McCafferty demonstrated tliai
she possesses histrionic ability of m
mean order. Miss Mae Campbell, ai
Mat Sea Drift, fitted the part as if i
was written for her. Mike Horriskey
as Monk, the crafty villain, and Join
Biglin, as Crips, an old coast wrecker
were all that could be desired and woi
the plaudits of their friends for tliei
clever interpretation of their ditticul
roles. John McBride, as Veasey, ai
English dude, Frank Campbell, as the
artist detective, Vincent Golden, as
tlie coast guard, J. McCarthy, as Ted,
Mat’S Chum, and Robert Magirl as the
Irish servant, each cleverly enacted
their roles, showing they had the
talent that would entitle them to
heavier parts.
Space is requested for the following
obituary. The deceased was the
mother of Will Gray, living northwest
of town. She recently died at Motion,
Ind.:
Miss Letha J. Harrington was born
April 24, 1820 near Rowling Green,
Ky., and afterwards removed with her
parents to Springfield, Mo. Here she
was married to Mr. John Gray, Dec.
1840, and to whom were born 3 sons
and 5 daughters. They and their
children removed to White county,
Ind.. in the spring of 1861. Her hus
band and 2 sons enlisted in the army
in defence of the country, her husband
losing his life when in the service of
his country. Mrs. Gray removed
with her family to what was then
known as Bradford, now Motion, and
when there was married to Jackson
K. Grady in 1869 and on Nov. 13, 1901,
Mr. Grady passed away. Mrs. Grady
died Feb. 11, 1905 being 78 years, 10
months and 4 days of age. She leaves

Tomsik Against Tomsik.
District court, Judge Harrington
presiding, lias been in session since
Monday without a jury hearing a case
from Atkinson to set aside a deed to
the southeast quarter of section 34,
township 30, range 15, and two lots in
the village of Atkinson.
The action is brought by John Tom
sick, through Attorney M.F. Har
rington, and is against Anna and
Anton Tomsick, son and daughter-in
law of the plaintiff. The plaintiff’s
petition alleges that in 1898 he ex
ecuted a deed to the quarter section
of land, on which himself and wife
and one daughter made their home,
to Anna Tomsick after a verbal agree
ment that he and his wife, both aged
and infirm, be clothed and cared for
by their son Anton, they all to reside
together on the farm. Subsequently
the old lady died and John Tomsick
continued to reside with his son
Anton until 1902, when he alleges he
was forced to leave the place and was
refused the necessities of life by his
son and daughter-in-law. He futher
alleges that the deed to the lots in
Atkinson is fraudulent, that cattle
and hogs which was his own personal
property to the amount of $600 were
sole and tne proceeds applied on a
mortgage of $700 against the farm
which according to the agreement
when the deed was executed was to
have been paid by Anton. He further
alleges that when driven from the
home of Anna and Anton he made his
home with two other sons, who are
also active in the suit to have the
deed set aside.
The defendent’s answer, through
Attorney R. R. Dickson, denies all
material allegations. It alleges that
the plaintiff left their home and re
fused support from them on his own
volition; that they cleared the farm
of mortgage and taxes aggregating
some $1200 when foreclosure was
threatened and the father was unable
to pay, and that they hadioot denied
him proper support.
The case is being strongly contested
and many witnesses have been sub
poenaed from the west end of the
county. _
A Trunk Mystery.
Butte Gazette: About two months
ago Billy Short found the trail of
something that had been dragged
from the bank of the Niobrara along
down the river on this side. Follow
ing the trail for over a mille he found
at the mouth of a canyon in the
brush a large trunk fastened upon a
couple of boards with a strap nailed
on the outfit to pull it with. He
thought it probably belonged to some
one who was moving it from across
the river and paid no attention to the
circumstance. Yesterday a couple of
boys who were out hunting discovered
the trunk and notified Short. They
brought it to the ranch and upon
opening found it contained a lot of
good clothing, a pair of gold-rimmed
glasses, a bible and other books. A
package of letters addressed to Ernest
J. Price, Mound City, 111., was also
found in the trunk, but were not read
by the finders.
The theory is advanced that this
man Price was taking his trunk to the
railroad and after crossing the river
went back for something he had for
gotten and had fallen in an air-hole
and drowned.
Steps are being taken to find out
who he was and where he is, if living.

Proper treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to doc
tor himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physi
cian should always be called. It
should be born in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack
of the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia
may |be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the
treatment of pneumonia with the best
results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it:
“I have been selling Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and prescriding it in
my practice for the past six years. I
use it in cases of pneumonia and have
always gotton the best results.” For
sale by P. C. Corrigan.
The North-Western Line.
One of the most interesting series
of articles on the subject of the great
railways of the country that has ap
peared recently, is that from the pen
of Frank H. Spearman, recently
published in the Saturday Evening
Post, and since printed in book form
by Scribners. The chapter descrip
tive of the Chicago & North-Western
Ry. has been published by the passen
ger department of that line in pamph
let form for general distribution, and
will be sent to any address on receipt
of 2 cents for postage. W. B.
Kniskern, P. T. M., Chicago. 36-4
Tragedy Averted.
“Just in the nick of time our little
boy was saved” writes Mrs. W. Wat
kins of Pleasant City, Ohio. “Pneu
monia had played sad havoc with him
and a terrible cough set in besides.
Doctors treated him, but he grew
worse every day. At lenght we tried
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, and our darling was saved.
He’s now sound, and well.” Every
body ought to know, it’s the only sure
cure for Coughs, Colds and all Lungs
diseases. Guaranteed by P. C. Corri
