An old newspapei man wlso has lately gone into the photographing business says; “I find that photo graphers rarely advertise, but I’m to old a newspaper man not to be lieve in it for everything. I’d adver tise if I were running a cemetery quiet rooms, clean beds and plenty of free heat. A force of men and teams are at work on the roadbed between the Burlington station and their gravel pit northwest of town. They expect to have the work completed and the track laid in about four weeks.

His cattle topped the market the day they were on sale, he receiving $84 per head for two year old steers. A few carload of that quality of stock would put a man on easy street. unaerneatn tne Daicony ne piayeu his light guitar. The moon was alloat like a sliver boat in the sea blue dephts ajar, but no one from the lattice peeped to answer to his ardent wishes. His love, his adored one, where was she? Why, back there just where she ought to be in the kitchen washing dishes! Dan D. Harrington went down to Elgin Tuesday morning to spend a few days visiting his sister.

Little Billy was listening to his father telling of Rockefeller and his millions, and said: "I’ve seen him lotsof times.” "Why no you haven’t, Billy”, said his mother. "He’s the great Standard Oil millionaire.” "Yep, I know it”, said Billy. “1 sees him go by our house often drivin’ his oil wagon what has his name on it.” John McBride, who has been teach ing art in the public schools of Su perior, Wisconsin, the past year has been re-elected to the position for the ensuing year at a good sized increase in salary. This is proof of the fact that John has made good in iiis chosen profession and is entitled to the congratulations of his friends on his success. Tne swine department or tne i»iu State Fair, Sept. 5th to 9th, will con tain a tine showing of Poland China, Berkshire, Duroc, Chester White, Hampshire, Large Horshire and Tam worth hogs. The prices now obtained for swine will make this show one of extreme value, and Superintendent G. A. Leonard of Pawnee City is busy assigning pens to those making early applications. State oil inspector Mullen was in town again last week. Many people believe that the office of oil inspector is the biggest “easy thing” in the state. Mr. Mullen is able to spend about half of his time looking after his law business in this city while he draws a salary of $2,000 per annum from the state of Nebraska. Besides his salary he gets about $300 per annum for expenses. Most people would call this a snap. The heavy frost that visited this section last week was quite general, from Wisconsin on the north down to southern Missouri, and press reports state that the loss to the fruit crop will run into millions. In Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Wis consin and Michigan the entire fruit crop has been wiped out and in Mis souri and Indiana about half the crop was caught by the frost. The man who does not have to depend on a fruit crop for a living is fortunate this year. P. F. Ward, J. F. Hanley, J. J. Boyle and Hugh Boyle are former O’Neill boys who are members of the Creighton law school graduating class who receive their diplomas next Friday night. Hugh Boyle was a member of the O’Neill ball team two years ago and if he follows the law business with the same energy that he tackled difficult ones around the third base corner is sure to make a success of it. The other boys are old time O’Neillites and their many friends here hope that they will be successsul in their chosen vocation. Peter Greely of Pbeonix was in the city Tues lay, being called here as a witness in the Hunt will contest case. While in the city Mr. Greeley w;s a caller at these headquarters and ex tended his subscription to the Fron tier. Mr. Greeley has the largest orchard in Holt county, having, dur ing the past five years, yearly sold several hundred bushel of apples. The | frost the past two weeks has killed the most promising crop lie ever ha< as the trees were loaded down witl blossoms, lie will probably have i few this year but the amount wll hardly worth speaking about. The securing of reversals in the su preme court is getting to be a weekl; occurance with Attorney Dickson His latest victory in the supremi court was the divorce case of Mary Me Namara vs. W. F. McNamara, triet in Dakota county in the summer o 1908, which has been reversed and re mancled back for trail. After a bit terly contested suit Mrs. McNamari was granted a divorce, the custody o their children and alimony. Mr Dickson was not in the case during the trail in the district court but wai afterwards employed to carry the cas< to the supreme court with the abov< result. Arthur Ryan and Jack McKenni returned from Omaha Sunday even ing where they went last Friday ii order to get a view of Jack Johnsoi the colored heavyweight fighter. Thi boys seen Jeffries when he was ii Omaha a couple of month! ago and h order to get the right “dope” on thi big tight they thought it advisable ti go to Omaha to see the coon. Thi “nigger” evidently impressed thi boys very favorably as Ryan is of thi opinion that there will be nothing ti the big fight on July Fourth but thi colored man. He says he is very fas on his feet and a very clever boxe and the showing he made in Oraah: impressed the lovers of the fist! game much more favorably than Jef fries did when he appeared in Omaha Mrs. Sarah Gallagher, aged 70 years died at her home In this city Wednes day afternoon, after an illness o several years. Deceased was one o the pioneers of this county, havlni moved here with her husband, Ed ward Gallagher, about 34 years agi and settled upon a homes ead north west of O’Neill, where they reside! until they moved to this city a fev years ago.

H. Swingley Mose Campbell, E. J. Mack, J. E Brooks and J. J. Stilson. O’Neill is to have a modern up-to date brick depot on the Northwesteri to replace the one destroyed by fin a couple of weeks ago. This infor mation was conveyed in a letter t( Mayor O. F. Biglln from F. Walter general manager of the Northwesteri system. Immediatedly after the fin a petition from the business men oi the city was sent to Mr. Walter! urging the company to build a brick or cement station here when they re build. On Friday Mr. Blglin received a letter from Mr. Walters, in whicl he says: “We are agreeable to youi suggestion, and expect to get started at an early date.” The Northwest ern has only frame stations at points along the line and O’Neill will bt the first town on the line to have a brick building, and the action of the railroad officials in agreeing to put up a good substantial structure here In the place of the one destroyed will be appreciated by the citizens of this Jity. “Bill” Bunton, who has occupied a room in the hotel Grady the past month, awaiting trial for having ap propriated the property of several Holt county citizens without first Ob taining permission, escaped from the county jail early Friday morning. John Horrisky has been sleeping in the jail the past month or so, looking aftei the prisoners. When he retired to his slumbers last Friday night Bill was secure in his cell, but when he awoke in the morning the honorable William had taken his departure and so far has not been heard from, In some manner Bill got a hold o John’s pants, abstracted the key t( the cell, unlocked the door and walk ed away. John is very fortunate tha Bill left his trousers. While sheril Grady has so far failed to get an I word as to the whereabouts of the i escaped prisoner it Is only a question i of a few days until he is apprehended 1 as Bill has acquired some habits that will not allow him to stay in obscurity . very long. ' The board of supervisors met in special session last Tuesday for the ! purpose of trying to settle the claim ■ of George Miles for publishir g the > scavenger tax list. As the case is ’ still in court, Miles not having dis missed his case against the county, ■ the board were of the opinion that . they did not haxe jurisdiction in the matter, although some of them thought it might be settled without having another trail. Attorney iHar i rington appeared before the board in behalf of Milt s while County Attorney i Whelan and R. R. Dickson appeared in behalf of the ounty. Mr. Harrington thought that Miles should receive about eighty per cent of the amount i of the claim he filed, which would be i auuuu xiie attorneys ror tne i county contended that under the de i cision of the supreme court that Miles i was entitled to only the ACTUAL ex pense sustained by him in having said notice set up in Sioux City and the expense of his trip there. This view of the matter was evidently taken by the board and they asked Miles to file an itemized statement, of the expense of said notice, whioh be refused to do. Instead of filing the information sought by the board he addressed them a letter that has no bearing on the matter in controversy and is as amusing a document as ever went be fore the county board. The board fi nally instructed the county attorney to take depositions from the parties f who performed the work in Sioux t City and ascertain the actual , cost, and the matter will be taken up | again at the next meeting on June 10.

An interesting and exciting ball game was played at the ball park last Sunday afternoon between the O’Neill team and the The Tennes ee Rats, a colored aggregation that is touring the state. The crowd was the largest ssen on the O’Neill diamond in over a year, notwithstanding the heavy wind and the chilly air. The strong chilly wind made it almost imposs ible to play good ball and errors were numerous on both sides, those of the local team proving the more costly. On account of the absence of Jack Foreman, who was slated to do the twirling for the locals, Kirkland of Atkinson, mounted the rubber. He performed fairly good until the fourth tunning when a few errors were fol lowed by three hits and the Qolored gentlemen were able to score three runs. This seemed to discourage Kirkland and the rest of the team as they were only able to score one run in their half of the fourth, the score »hnn L'tnnrllnif civ t A fam a/roinaf. them. In the fifth inning the boys started a batting rally and four good clean hits followed by a couple of errors netted them four runs and the game was a tie. Hugh Coyne mounted the rubber In the fifth and, except In the seventh, was not scored against. In the fifth a couple of dumb plays al lowed the “coons" to score twice and win the game as the locals were un able to score after the fifth. The colored men play a good game, being especially good on team work and were able to “nab” a few of the boys on second and with favorable weather should put up a swell game. The lo clas were affected by the wind and CDld being unable to judge a fly ball and apparently unable to handle the oall when they got their hands on It. The coons are coming back next Sun day and a good fast game can be look ed for, providing the weather con ditions are favorable. The score: O’Neill.1 001400 0 0-6. Rats.0 2130020 0—8.
