Mrs.Gertrude Nikollczak has begun suit in district court for divorce from her husband, Jonn Nikollczak, to whom she says she was married in 1886. They have resided in this county the past sixteen years. They have nine children, ages from 2 to 21 years. Mrs. Nikoliczac alleges cruelty and infidelity. The defendant owns real estate in this county to the value of $4,000 and personal property to the value of about $1,500. The plaintiff prays for a decree of absolute divorce, custody of the children and per manent alimony, also that the defen dant pay Into court a sum sufflcent for the prosecution of the plaintiff’s case. It happened in a well appointed country school room. The teacher asked her class of little ones, in whom she was trying to instill a small know edge of the history of this country, “who was the first president of the United States?” "George Washing ton,” was the prompt reply, in chorus “Was there ever a campaign when Washington ran for president, and who ran against him?” she asked. For a time all was silent, then one little girl piped up: “Didn’t Bryan run against Washington?” Probably some of the highly con scientious people of this county who voted for Shallenberger for governor on the strength of the Elmer E. Thomas circular will be surprised to learn that Miss Belle Kearney, the temperance lecturer who spoke here last Friday evening, took a fall out of the Omaha anti-saloon league at torney during the course of her re marks, branding him as a traitor. It comes from undeniable authority that Thomas sold out to the brewery interests and worked th&temperance vote for the demociatlc candidate. The Golden building on Douglas street is about complete and is a fine specimen of what can be done with cement blocks. Though not the largest, it is the most complete and modern store building in town, well constructed and handsomely finished The cement work was all done under the supervision of Daniel Burr, who is ascociated with Mr. Golden in the manufacture of cement blocks and the fine building they have erected ought to prove a strong advertisement for their cement blocks. The build ing is divided into two apartments, with basement finished in cement below. The west room will be occu pied by K. R. Morrison’s grocery and the east room by M. M. Sullivan’s dry goods store. The latest talk of a new hotel for O’Neill has it that the Jake Pfund building, across the street from the opera house, will be enlarged and worked over to hotel proportions. So far nothing definite can be stated as to the proposed enterprise other than that such a proposition is being con sidered by some of the busineas men. R. R. Dickson bought the property at the recent trustee’s sale. From him The Frontier learns that several local capitalists have under considera tion the advisability of a modern hotel building for the town, and Mr. Dickson says each are ready to enter into a corporation to build the same if it is determined that the invesment can be made to pay. They expect to come to some understanding within the next few days. Sleep. Miguel de Cervantes: Blessings light on him who first invented sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. Ia short, money that buys everything; balance and weight that makes the shepherd equal to the monarch, and the fool to the wise. Ripans Tabules : for sour stomach.
