Two deaths are reported from In man. Mrs. Charles Auten, a young woman, died on Sunday, and Phillip Judd, a well known resident of the community, passed away Wednesday. If you have a choice of contestants you should begin to boost for her and secure every vote you possibly can for her for some one is going to win the prizes and why not help some one of the girls to get it? Mr. F. A. Reed, is now traveling for the Royal Spice Company. He guaran tees a cure for corn stock deseases and a preventive of hog cholera. If he is not in town, call on Mr. Jake Pfund, he will satisfy you. 24-2 O’Neill merchants have on display a fine lot of Christmas goods and it will be no fault of theirs if Christmas shop pers can’t suit themselves. The stores display stocks of goods that would do credit to a much larger town. J. W. VanKirk will have a public sale of his live stock and machinery two miles northeast of town on De cember 21. Mr. VanKirk has recent ly sold his farm and will move to Plainview the first of the year. J. P. Hancock of Inman was a caller Monday. Mr. Hancock says the large republican vote in his township this year is not a temporary polititical slump, but something that is going to stay as many former democrats and populists have become disgusted with the pretentions of their leaders in this county. Heretofore there has been objection to the use of oil stoves because of the smoke and odors. A Nebraska man has invented an oil stove that does away entirely with these objectionable features and is guaranteed to furnish more heat than a coal stove of the same size. It will burn on an average 46 cents worth of Kerosene in twenty four nours. The factory where the stoves were made recently burned down, and hence there is a limited supply on the market. Brennan is the agent here and has a few of the stoves in stock. Complaint is heard from a number of merchants on account of goods shipped to them by freight from east ern points being carried by this sta tion. A number of instances have oc curred lately where goods that were needed badly were carried on west by the trains and not returned for sever al days or a week, some even having been carried as far west as Douglas Wy. One dealer says that a large portion of his holiday goods have been lost in transit and he presumes carried west. This condition is attributed to the carelessness of the train crew, who are more or less superficial in looking over freight in the cars when unload ing it. C. H. Foxworth, a son- in-law of C. M. Hunt who has bought the Caldwell ranch, arrived here Thursday last from Albion with his wife, and they will make their home with Mr. Hunt for a time, expecting to build later. Mr. Foxworthy is a breeder of Poland China hogs and brought fourteen head of thoroughbreds with him and will continue in the same line of business here which he followed in Boone coun ty. Mr. Foxworthy paid The Frontier a business and social call Friday. He says it is natural for him to hunt up a newspaper office in a new town as he has a brother who is a newspaper man. He is a pleasant gentleman to meet and evidently a substantial citizen to live in the community. He starts out by at once becoming a subscriber to The Frontier. Alliance Times: A gold mine found in a chicken gizzard sounds strange, and yet that is what happened to Mrs. R. Simmons of Alliance Sunday. She was dressing a chicken for dinner, and while cleaning the gizzard discovered shining particles among the waste. Upon examination it was found to be gold. A test was made, and the quali ty is of the best. There were several pieces, and it is thought that the chick ens had made a meal at some time up on some little nuggets. Who knows but that on some farm near Alliance lies a field of gold that could be made to pay a vastly richer dividend than the raising of chickens, which, when dead, tell the secret and yet leave no clue? It might be that some Sherlock Holmes could look at the gold, the feathers of the dead chicken, etc., and then go into a trance and discover the place where the chickens found the gold. It would certainly pay well. IJ apanese® Ger-1 1 man China’are I i I am showing a very large and handsome line of W useful as well as decorative dislies in this line.
