An editor works 365 days in a year
to get out fifty-two issues of a paper,
that’s labor. Once in a while a sub
scriber pays a year In advance for his
paper, mat's capital. Ana once in a
while some son-of-a-sea-cock of a dead
beat takes the paper for two or three
years then skips out without paying
for it, that’s anarchy.
When the stomach fails to perform
its functions, the bowels become de

It. Easy to take and most effective.

into the mountains the latter part of
aext month when he will try and bag
some big game. When he returns
borne we can look for some good hunt

Matt Verlinden returned last week
from a two weeks visit with relatives
in Oregon and Washington. Mr.
Verlinden says that is a great country,
but a good country for a man to stay
iway from unless he has a good sized
bank account or wants to work like
i slave. He says that the price of ir
rigated land is so high that it is im
bossible for a man with limited means
;o purchase.
“Patronize home institutions,”
iries the editor from week to week.
‘That is right,” says the merchant,
‘give it to those who go to some other
own to buy goods.” Then with his
leart filled with kindness to the loyal
idltor, he sends his job work to Omaha
ir utilizes a piece of wrapping paper
ir a 5 cent tablet to write an order on
or goods or send a statement to a
sustoiucr. Funny, isn’t it?
Yesterday Jack McKenna received
l telegram from Arthur Ryan, dated
Xeno, Nevada, stating that Charles
KcKenna was operated upon Tuesday
or appendicitis and was in a hospital
n that city. He said that he was
retting along nice'y and that he
would remain until Charley was able
;o travel, which would be in about
;en days. This was surely hard luck
or Charley as the chances are that he
lid not get to see the fight after go
ng so far to see it.
For a good every day household an
rel, give us a woman who laughs.
Home is not a battlefield, nor life one
ong unending row. A trick of al
ways seeing the bright side, or, if the
jhing has no bright side, of shining
ap the dark one, is a very important
'acuity and one of the things no wo
raan should be born without. We are
rot all born with the sunshine in our
rearts, as the Irish prettily phrase it,
lut we can cultivate a cheerful sense
)f humor if we only try.

This office is in receipt of a letter
from Rev. T. S. Watson, pastor of
the Methodist church, who is visiting
at Epworth, Iowa, in which he an-!
nounces that Rev. Oscar Eggleston of
Ewing will preach in the Methodist
church on Sunday, July 10, both morn
ing and evening. The fourth quart
erly conference will be held at the
Methodist church on Friday evening,
July 15, at 8 o’clock. This is an im
portant conference and every mem
ber should be present. Rev. E T.
[George will preside. Mr. Watson
says he will return home about July

A young woman said she was born
to be a farmer’s wife because she en
gaged In milking when an Infant, and
took to cradling early. Later'she of
ten cut up and shocked her parents
and tilled her crib. At and early age
she learned to sew, and she had culti
vated her acquaintance with a young
agriculturist, and as soon as she plac
ed her affections she intended to
“make hay while the sun was shin
ing.” This was too much for an im
pressible tiller of the soil, so he gath
ered her up Into his arms and garner
ed her.
There are events occurring in every
community which, if reported in a
local paper, would create a commotion
little dreamed of. What to report
and what not to report often perplexes
the editor. He Is often justly accused
of cowardice and favoritism, when all
the time he is looking toward the
good reputation of the town where his
lot is cast. The local editor from
necessity almost constantly finds him
self between two fires, and whichever
way he turns he is sure to be unjustly
treated. This Is one of the pleasures
of the newspaper bushiess.
A large delegation of O’Neill people |
attended the celebratiou at Stuart ■
last Monday and report an enjoyable (
time. The ball game between Stuart (
and Newport was particularly good, |
being won by Stuart with a score of .
4 to ,l. Rhody Ryan and Ed Alberts of *
this city were in the points for Stuart g
and the spectators say that the New- g
port sluggers were at the mercy of
Ryan all tiirough the game. He al
io wed only one scratch hit and fanned .
a dozen and but for a bad throw in J
the ninth inning would have treated .
the visitors to a shut out.
James Davidson, L. E. Carscallen, c
John Davidson, Eber Leek and W. C. t
Templeton went out to the lakes in a
the southwestern part of the county |
last Saturday and spent Sunday and ^
Monday fishing for the wiley pickerel t
and bass. Jim Davidson and Cars- t
oallen returned Tuesday morning but j
tha rest of the party did not return *
uptli Tuesday night and they had the t
nicest catch of pickerel brought into c
this city for many moons. The t
“bunch” collectively and individually g
have the thanks of the Frontier fam- |
ily for a splendid mess of pickerel. *
This county was visited with anoth- v
er splendid rain last Friday and Fri- I
day night. About an inch of water d
fell here while in the western part of 1
the county the rain was much heavier t
md prospects for a splendid corn crop I:
never" look'd better at this time of s
the year than at the present time. It c
Is very dry in the eastern part of the t
Rate, the li rst rain of any consequence i
for three months, fall ing there last 1
Saturday night. From newspaper re- t
ports the hay crop will not be very I
heavy this year and Holt county hay 9
men can be reasonably sure of good o
prices for their crop this season. t
A good country road is always to be a
desired and is a souroe of comfort and J
convenience to every traveler. Good ^
roads attract population, as well as fl
;ood schools and churches. Good roads
improve the value of the property, so
r.hat it. is sairi a. farm Ivim* Ava milps
from market, connected by a bad road ^
is of less value than an equally good 8
farm lying ten miles away from mar- ®
lest connected by a good road. A larg- 8
sr load can be drawn by one horse v
>ver a good road than by two over a 8
oad one. Good roads encourage the c
greater exchange of products and com
modities between one section and an
other. c
O’Neill was nearly deserted on July v
1th, mo t of its inhabitants going to
Inman or Stuart to help these cities ]
properly observe the great day. In j
addition to the delegations that vis
ited these Holt county towns several <
went to Valentine and numerous \
others enjoyed themselves at picnic (
parties in several groves adjoining
the city. But while there were but
few left in town they proceeded to
enjoy tbemselves during the afternoon 1
and pulled off several foot races among i
the tleet-footed old folks of the town. '
In addition to the foot races bulletins
from the famous fight at Reno, Neva- ]
da, were received at the popular anti- ,
thirst empoiturns of Jack Thomas i
and Billy O’Connors which helped to
pass away the time and nearly|all who
stayed in town say they passed a very
pleasant day.
A critical young lady was recently
heard expiating vigorously against
the silly way that women have of kiss
ing each other every time they get to
gether. She said: “If twenty women
were to meet in the street every last
one of them would have to kiss the
other nineteen, and there would be—
let me see—380 kisses worse than
l thrown away, for probably in ten
minutes the whole party would sepa
rate into squads and go off talking
about each other. When you see one
Jt these violent miscellaneous, kiss
9very-tbing-in sight kind of a woman,
It Is safe to set her down as a fraud,
which she generally is. If I had my
way, kissing would be confined to
family uses and for medicinel pur
poses. Now, don’t you put my name
to this or I will kiss you right on
Douglas street the first chance I
Save.”
The Frontier received a letter from
Michael McCoy last week containing
i renewei of his subscription to this
household necessity. Mr. McCoy was
for many years a resident of this
munty, bnt now resides at Ada, Per
rins county, South Dakota. Judging
'rom his letter Mike has not found
the promised land in his new South
Dakota home. He says: “Enclosed
tind draft for S3 for the best paper in
Nebraska. It makes me feel like go
ng back every time I read it. All

March is wind. The first rain of the

The fight at Reno, Nevada, on July
uncovered to the gaze of the sport*
ng world the greatest joke in the his
ory of the prize ring, James J. Jef
ries. He went down to defeat before
ack Johnson in the fifteenth round
f a forty-five round fight. At no
ime during the contest was there
ny chance for Jeffries to win and it
>oks to us as it the defeated fighter
new ail along that he would go down
o defeat before the nigger. He sur
Dunded himself with a lot of “has
een fighters” and refused to do much
oxing, even with them. Jim Cor
ett was a member of his training
rew fcrraeatly a month yet daring
bat time Jeffries did iioc have the
loves on with him eight rounds dur
ag the entire time It appears that
e was afraid to do much boxing as it
rould disclose his condition ana that
e preferred to allow his friends to
rop their wads betting on him at
mg odds and that he would go into
be ring take a licking and receive
is share of the purse,—which was a
mall fortune—and retiie to end his
ays in affluence. For the past year
e has been looked upon by the sport
ig fraternity as an idol but that
lol was smashed to Smlthereans by
he colored igentlemen from Georgia,
'or defeating Jeffries Johnson won
120,000. This is the largest amount
f money ever received by a fighter in
he history of the game. For taking
licking at the hands of the nigger
effries received for his share •117,000.
Fho would not take a good licking
)r a fortune of that size?

Obituary.
Died—In. this city of acute Brights
Disease, Tuesday afternoon at five
o,clock, Mrs. Alfred Shipman, aged
71 years, 4 months and 17 days.
Almtre Durrell was born at Payson,
Illinois, on February 18,1838, where
she grew to womanhood. Site was
married to Alfred Shipman at Eidora,
Illinois, February 16, I860. Tltey
moved from there to Oonway, Iowa,
in 1878, and from there to Ainsworth,
Nebraska, in 1883, where they settled
on a homestead and where they lived
until about seven years ago, when
they quit housekeeping on account of
the ill health of Mrs. Sbipman.and
went to live with a daughter at
Osmond, Nebr. They later moved to
Crawford where they lived until
about two months ago when they
moved to this city.
The deceased was the mother of
seven children, four of whom, two
sons and two daughters, together with
a devoted husband, survive her and
deeply mourn her loss. Those living
are: Mrs. J. A. Davis, wl.o lives in
Canada; Thomas, who lives at Craw
ford; Joseph, who lives near Ran
dolph, and Mrs. Geo A. Miles of this
city. One daughter and two sons
died in early Ufa.
The deceased has been a patient
suffc rer for about eight years and for
the last two years has been nearly
helpless, her aged husband and her
children waiting on her as they would
a little child. About two months
ago when they moved to this city she
began to grow weaker and In about
ox weeks was forced to take to bar
bed where she rapidly grew worse un
til Tuesday when peacefully and
luletly, and surrounded by her bus
band and sorrowing children and
kind neighbors, she passed to the
peat beyond to meet her savior.***
