Tire town of Page, we are told, is all
“torn up” over a saloon proposition.
There was a tie at the annual spring
election between a candidate for vil
lage trustee representing the element
favorable to having a saloon and the
candidate representing the other side.
Lots were cast to settle who should
hold office and the lot fell for the can
didate favorable to the saloon advo
cates. This made the village board
three for and two against an applica
tion for saloon license. The license
was granted to a saloon man at Ewing
and now the board is up against a re
monstrance, and it is said things are
getting pretty warm down around
Page.

II. N. Bradstreet walked into The
Frontier sanctum yesterday, which
was about as big a surprise as we have
encountered lately, as we supposed
Brad was still at Hoodriver, Oregon,
whither he went two years ago. He
tells us he is back to the green sod of
Nebraska and making his home at
Spencer. We are always glad to have
the western prodicals return, and
Brad is a “bully” good fellow to have
as a citizen.
The agricultural editor runs across
this poultry item in an exchange: A
Waukomis, Oklahoma, farmer has de
veloped a breed of hens that ought to
prove popular. For a number of years
he had been annoyed by a neighbor’s
hens scratching in his garden, so he
set about devising a strain of hens
that would stay at home and not an
noy the neighbors. He says he suc
ceeded. The new breed of fowls has
legs of uneven length. The right leg
is about six inches long and the left
leg four. Owing to this inequality in
underpining a hen is unable to take
steps of equal length. When she en
deavors to wonder any distance from
the coop she walks in a circle and soon
•
finds herself back at her own door.
Furthermore, there can be no scratch
ing by hens with mismated legs. When
a hen stands on the short leg the long
one is put out of business, and when
she stands on the long one the short
one can’t reach the ground.
The city council met in adjourned
session Monday evening to pass upon
a number of resolutions condeming
several s rips of sidewalks and calling
for the construction of cement walks.
These resolutions appear elsewhere in
this issue. They were adopted unani
mously. A petition was presented to
i the council from the residents of east
[Douglas street asking that the water
'mains be extended from Sixth to
| Tenth street along Douglas, and also
| that the street be graded. Action on
the petition was deferred until an in
vestigation of the water mains out to
ward the old Chicory factory could be
made to ascertain if there was a pipe
there weich could be used on the ex
tcntion asked for on Douglas street.
The Frontier is handed a copy of
the Fontanelle, la., Observer contain
ing the following items concerning a
former O’Neill citizen: “Mr. E. W.
Adams is receiving the congratula
tions of many friends on his good for
tune in his canvass for nomination for
clerk of the district court. He receiv
ed a fine vote in nearly every precinct
and in the county received a majority
of eleven over both competitors. He
is the only maiority candidate where
three were running, in the county.
We take pleasure in assuring the elec
tors that their confidence is worthily
bestoyed, and that the nominee will
prove a capable officer and a gentle
man always.” Mr. Adams, it will be
remembered, was county attorney of
this county some years ago.
J. C. Addison, one of the early set
tlers in the Minneola country, was in
town the latter part of last week. Mr.
Addison is enthusiastic over present
conditions and future prospects for
Holt county. He complimented O’Neill
on the improvements she is taking on
and says a greater change for the bet
ter is noted in the town this year than
1n any previous year during the quar
ter of a century he has been coming
liere. The same advancement, he says,
is noted in the country. At every
farm between here and his place,
twenty odd miles distant, some im
provement is noted. Land in his com
munity that ten or twelve years ago
I could not be sold at any price is now
^demanding $20 and $25 an acre. Mr.
Addison thinks the abundance of rain
of late years has not only produced
plenty of vegetation but has enriched
the soil. His own material possessions
have been growing with the prosperi
ty of the country. He has three quar
ters of line land, a well Improved farm
and plenty of stock.
We, the undersigned merchants of
O’Neill agree to close our stores at 7

At the township meeting for Grat
tan last Saturday the township affairs
were found to be in striking contrast
with that of a year ago. The commit
tee in charge of the property received
as part liquidation of the Pat Hanley
shortage report that the quarter sec
tion of land had been disposed of for
$3,200. This gave the township a good
balance, as the treasurer’s books show
all outstanding warrants either paid
or money on hand to pay, sufficient
funds on hand to pay for a road
grader authorized purchased at a cost
of $1,000 and leave a balance in the
treasury of over $1,000. A committee
was appointed to settle with the treas
urer and partially completed the work
at the meeting. The road grader pur
chased is now here and will be given a
test as soon as the tirm’s representa
tive putting it out arrives to superin
tend the same. The township officials,
in getting the grader, design to do
some much needed work on the roads,
among which that will receive early
attention being those south of the
Elkhorn river leading to O’Neill,
which are extremely needy of repairs.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.
