man on the Burlington railroad, was

injured. The injured man was taken
to St. Josephs hospital in Sioux City.
The physician who made an examina
tion of Johnson, on his arrival in Sioux
City said there was no bones broken,
but that the injured man was suffering
from a slight concussion of the brain.
The latest reports from Sioux City are
to the effect that the injured man is
rapidly recovering and will be around
in a few days. The injured man is
about twenty-seven years old and has
a wife and child. They have been
resident of this city about two

By request of the postoffice depart
ment Postmaster Marsh desires to call
attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themselves with postage
inladvance of theirjneeds. This prac
tice imposes unde hardship on rural
carries in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on the service
of their routes. The postmaster,
therefore, urgently requests that pat
rons of rural delivery provide them
selues and keep on hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and in advance
of their needs. It is also very desir
able that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes small detachable cups of
wood or tin in which to place coins,
when necessary, in purchasing supplies
of stamps.
Timmermiers Fined $75.
On the grounds that the county
court did not have jurisdication the

lmmed iately after the dismissal of the

lb which it was alleged that on or

ita the County of Holt and State of
Nebraska they did unlawfully, will

Spirituous and vinous liquors which
Said liquors were adulterated wlthPin

Oases made and provided and against
the peace and dignity of the state of
Nebraska. Defendants appeared in

Death of Mrs. L. E. Harding.
Mrs. Lena G. Harding died at her
home about twelve miles north of
this city last Friday night, after an
Illness of but a few days, of conges
tion of the lungs.
Deceased was taken down with a
severe attack of the grip on January 18
and on January 19 gave birtli to a
little girl. The attack of grip devel
oped into an attack of pneumonia and,
although all that medical science or
loving hands and hearts could do was
done, the dread disease could not be
overcome and she passed peacefully
away at midnight on Friday, January
24, just one week after being taken
sick.
Mrs. Harding was born at St.
Joseph, Mo , March 27,1878, and was
married to L. E. Harding October 14,
1900, she being a widow at that time
with two children and Mr. Harding a
widower with four children. To them
were born three children, the young
est being a baby who will never know
a mothers love and care. The eldest is
a boy fifteen years old. Mrs. Harding
was a kind, loving and indulgent wife
and mother, and possessed many ad
mirable traits that endeared her to
all her neighbors and friends.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, the services being conducted by
the Presbyterian minister of this city
and the remains intrered in the Protes
tant cemetary, being followed to their
final resting place by a large con
course of friends and neighbors. The
Frontier tenders Mr. Harding and
the orphaned children its heartful
srmpathy in their sorrow.

Obituary.
Patrick Mullen died at the home of
his son, Edward Mullen, 5 miles north
of Emmet, on Monday January 27,
aged 87 years. Deceased was born in
Ireland in the year 1822, and was a
resident of this county for the past 27
years. Previous to his coming to this
county he resided near Hazelton,
Penn., where he was employed in and
about the mines. He was an exem
plary citizen and an honest, faithful
man.
When we realize the long period of
life granted to the deceased; when we
think back over the many years, with
the numerous changes in the world
since he first saw the light of day in
the Emerald isle; his departure from
there In the old sailing vessel, with
all its privation: the landing of the
emigrant nearly a century ago, In the
wields of America; the many hard
ships endured; the fearful struggle for
existance, and that he conquered all
inasmuch as he retained his manhood
and raised his family to know and
worship God, taught them to be law
abiding and worthy eitizens, an honor
to his old age, and a heritage to his
future generations. Who among you
can do more? None we thiuk, and
few indeed there are in this world,
who can do as much.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning from the Catholic church in
this city, a requiem high mass was
celebrated by Rev. J. F. Moore, who
preached an approprate sermon.
His two sons, J. P. and Edward
Mullen, were at his bedside when the
final summions came. *»*
Fever Sores.
Fever sores and old chronic sores
should not be healed entirely, but
should be kept in healthy condition.
This can be done by applying Cham
berlain’s Salve. This salve has no
superior for this purpose. It is also
most excellent for chapped hands, sore
nipples, burns and diseases of the skin.
