MRS. EMMA KELLEY, SUJPT.
O’Neill needs a gymnasium.
May twentieth will be observed as
temperance Sunday throughout the
United States.
Everyone has to deal with the ques
tions of right and wrong each day of
their lives. There is no neutral ground.
To choose the easy way in preference
to the right never has and never will
prove safe.
In an article published in “Woman’s
Home Companoin” under the heading
“Is the World Growing Better” by
Dr. Lyman Abbott; temperance peo
ple will find some very encouraging
facts. His comparison of intemper
ance as it existed fifty years ago and
today shows the progress that lias
been made.
The force of heredity is now reco
gnized by the majority of thinking
people. A great man was once asked
when the training of a child should
commence. His reply: “With its
grandfather” carries with it food for
thought. Pure waters do not flow
from contaminated springs. Every
generation has the use of a vast store
of good or evil habits bequeathed to it
by previous generations, and transmits
that store, augmented by fresh ac
quisitions to future ages.
The “Woman’s Home Companion”
has commenced a battle for the abo
lishment of child slavery in the Unit
ed States. This should receive the
encouragement and endorsement of
every good man and woman. It is
stated that there are today nearly
three million children under fifteen
years of age toiling in mills, factories,
mines and sweat shops under condi
tions that, could you see them with
your own eyes, would shock you be
yond expression. Think of it fathers
and mothers as you look into the faces
of your own little ones and picture all
those between the ages of four and
fifteen laboring from early morn un
til dark. Every father and mother
should voice a protest until such a
sentiment is aroused as should abolish
the evil. It is a disgrace to the
nation.
The following item from a recent
publication shows the growth of tem
perence sentiment in England: Hon.
Keir Hardie, leader of the labor party
in the House of Commons, has formu
lated a pledge which every one of the
fifty labor members has signed. This
pledge is to affect that the signers will
drink no alcoholic liquors while the
house is in session. Most of the one
hundred or more Irish members of
parliment have also signed the pledge.
This reform promises to make the
House of Commons in future practi
cally a temperance organization. It
is a prophecy of the time not far dis
tant, when the saloon will cease to be
a political power.
There is a great need in our city of a
public library and reading room. A
place where the boys and young men
could congregate. Where good whole
some literature can be had and an
evening or afternoon passed away from
the temptation of the street and sa
loon. The boys of today will be the
men of tomorrow. As their characters
are formed now, so will be the charact
er of your citizens a few years hence.
Surely, among our business men there
are those who have the future welfare
of our city at heart; who are public

spirited enough to see the need of
such an institution, and to take the
matter up and carry it to completion.
A buildiDg containing gymnasium
rooms, a pubiic library and reading
rooms would do much for the moral up
lifting of our young people. I believe,
if managed on good business principles,
it would be a good investment and
could be made self supporting. It
would also be a good advertisement
for our city.
A STORY OP THE ELKHORN.
Major Buchanan Will Add a Chapter
to Nebraska History.
Lincoln Journal: Major Buchanan
of Waukesha, Wis., is coming to Lin
coln the first of J une to consult the
state records preparatory to writing a
history of the Elkhorn valley with
particular reference to the construc
tion of the old Fremont, Elkhorn and
Mirsouri Valley railroad. The history
will be used in connection with the
history of Nebraska. In this connec
tion Frank Burgess, son of the first
Indian agent in Nebraska, and a rec
ognized ethnologist, will visit Nebras
ka and the places where the Pawnee
Indians had villages and camps. He
will endeavor to supply the Indian
names to all the rivers and streams,
making the trip from their Nebraska
hunting grounds clear to their present
home on the southern reservation.
Major Buchanan came to the Fre
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail
road as general passenger agent in the
early eighties, and his great work was
in connection with the settlement of
the Elkhorn valley, lie advertised
the valley, knowing that the only way
to get business for his road was to fill
the country from which it drained
traffic with people. One afternoon in
June, 1892, and but a short time be
fore he retired from the passenger de
partment of the road, Major Buch
anan was escorting a party to the
Black Hills in a private car. Looking
back from the car as the fertile acres
of the Elkhorn valley were being left
behind, he said: “I have done much
to attract people to this valley. I
told them the land was rich and fertile
and that it would increase many times
in value. I believed it as firmly when
I first began to tell them as I do now.
I could have bought many acres of it
for myself at prices too low to be be
lieved now. I urged others to buy
and they bought. I bought none of
it; but it was not lack of faith that
prevented me. I was too busy with
my work to think about it.”
Major Buchanan has many friends
in Nebraska who will welcome him
back to the state, even though he
comes on a short business trip.

R. E. Bowden of Agee sends us a
long communication relative to the
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Lincoln
next week. The communication
arrived too late for us to get it in the
paper. The encampment opens on
Tuesdoy, the 15th, and Mr. Bowden
is solicitious that all old soldiers who
can attend.
The Ditch company have been run
ning their cattle through the dipping
tank located at the stock yards south
the Northwestern tracks. They have
about 3,300 head in all that they are
putting through the dip before taking
them to the ranch. James Ryan has
a bunch of about 1,500 that have been
put through the tank and were taken
to the Ryan place Tuesday. A good
sized force of men are at the tanks
assisting in the work.
W. S. Grimes and Mr. Perren of
Chambers started Monday over the
Northwestern for Minneapolis, where
they went as the representatives of
Chambers township to secure a
large road grader to use on
the roads over in that country. The
roads over south are rendered almost
impassable every spring by high water.
The township board of Chambers have
taken the matter of roads in hand
and propose to remedy affairs so far as
they can. In this connection, it looks
like the county might better expend
some of the money going into bridges
over the Niobrara river in bettering
the highways in the South Folk
country.
Joseph V. Waid, son of Mr. and Mrs.
F. M. Waid, was married on Sunday
at Ewing to Miss Sceva Bryan of New
boro, Nab. The young couple came
up to the home of thegroom’s parents
north of town that evening and were
taken somewhat unawares by a num
ber of young people of the neighbor
hood who went to the Waid home to
serenanade the young couple. Con
gratulations were tendered the
happily married young people
by the unexpected guests, who
were invited in and given some light
refreshments. The groom is one of
the industrious young men of this
community with a reputation any one
might be proud of, and The Frontier
wishes him and his bride much happi
ness.
The marriage of Mr. Opie Chambers
of Herrick, S. D., toMiss Belle Martin,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet Mar
tin of this city, was celebrated at the
home of the bride on Tuesday evening,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
Kelly, pastor of the Methodist church
at Page. A large number of guests
were present to witness the marriage,
participate in the joys and festivities
and feasting of the occasion and offer
their congratulations and extend their
complements to the bride and groom.
The wedding was made one of the
most notable occasions of the kind to
occur here for some time. The bride,
who is one of O’Neill’s fairest young
ladies, is too well and favorably known
here to need any introduction on the
part of The Frontier. She has resid
ed here all her life and has been con
nected more or less with educational
work in this city and throughout the
county for the past few years, teach
ing for a number of terms in the
O’Neill schools. She is a young lady
of ability and many accomplishments,
and Mr. Chambers wins a worthy
bride. The groom is a newspaper
man, being publisher of the Press of
Herrick. Thep departhd Wednesday
morning for a short visit at Chicago.
Agricultural Society Meeting.
A meeting of the Holt County Agrl
cultural society was held last evening
at the office of A. F. Mullen to elect
officers and start the project of this
fall’s events going. The meeting was
well attended and a good Interest
manifested. The officers elected
were:

S. J. Weekes; treasurer, J. F. O’Don
nril; board of managers, Ed F. Gal
lagher, O. F. Hlglin, D. J. Cronin,
John Carr and W. II. Graver.
A new feature was decided upon
for the race meeting this year. In
addition to the races there will be a
thoroughbred stock show, embracing
horses, cattle and hogs. For this pur
pose the society will expend some
$1,300 in the errection of exhibition
sheds.
The races and live stock show will
be held the first week in September.
Too Many Jokes.
Atchinson Globe: Some people nev
er make the most trifling remark with
out running in a joke. If they call at
market to order meat, they get oft a
joke, although there are so many jok
ers and jokes that butchers are tired
of both. You may think the butcher
is very much amused when you ask if
his sausage is made of dog meat, but
he is not; he will curse you after you
are gone for a fool, and there is more
sense in what the butcher says than
In what you say about dog meat. But
chers have heard the dog meat joke
until they almost scream when a
fresh idiot rushes in and gets it off.
There are certain jokes heard around
a printing office; another kind are al
ways heard in a law offices, and anoth
er kind in stores, so that joking is be
coming one of the most dreadful curses
of the country. Some of these days a
butcher will kill a man for getting off
the dog meat joke, not because he
cares because of the insult, but because
he is so awfully tired of hearing old
jokes. The reader of this is invited to
take the suggestion to heart, and
think it over. Do you loke too much?
In all reasonable probability you do.
You should quit it.
Notice.
Notice is hereby given that all
privy vaults and cesspools be disinfect
ed by quick* lime, cliloride-of-lime or
any standard disinfectant: that all
hog pens, yards for cattle and horses,
and yards about livery barns be clean

be at once removed. That the throw
ing of rubbish such as tin cans, etc.,
into the street be stopped, and hogs
must be removed outside the city if
more than one hog is in a pen or that
unclean. Failing to comply the law
will be invoked as the health of the
city demand these precautions, and I
ask your assistance. Respectfully,
