Dean Selah has filed a petition in
the district court praying for a divorce
from Marie Selah, to whom he was
married in Philadelphia on March 31,
1909. They lived together until Aug
ust, 1909, when she deserted him at
Duluth, Minn. At the time of her
desertion he was sick in bed and she
refused to care for him. He alleges
numerous acts of cruelty, among them
being an attack on him with a butch
er knife when she cut him upon the
wrist, the scar of which remains as a
reminder of her kindness. He asks
for an absolute divorce.
A lady who understands advertis
ing says “No lady wishes to be looked
upon as a shopping fiend: she does not
care to go into a store and have a mer
chant show all his stock in order to
find out whether he keeps what she
wishes to purchase and whether the
article is sold at a price she can afford.
It is much easier and pleasanter to
look through the advertisements of
a paper than it is to bore the clerks
and waste her own time. Next to the
local news items, the advertisments
in a paper stating articles for sale
with prices, will keep much of the
money that goes to the large cities
at home.”
P. J. Fritchoff of Celia was an
O'Neill visitor last Tuesday. Mr. and
Mrs. Fritchoff returned two weeks

spent the past eight months visiting

years since Mr. FritchofT had left the
the old country and he said things
were not at all as he expected to find
them and he was homesick for home
before he had been there two weeks.
He says he seen lots of country dur
ing his absence but that none of it
looked better than old Holt and that
he was glad to get back again.
The Nebraska State League closed
a very successful season last Saturday.
Fremont won the pennant and will
play a serious of games with the
champions of the Mink League, Falls
City, for the championship of Nebras
ka. The scrap for the leadership of
the Western League is still between
Sioux City and Denver, with the
chances strongly in favor of tne Iowa
city landing the pennant. It is re
ported that the Denver team will
clear over $25,000.00 this season, so it
appears that John Gunthorpe was
wise when he passed up publishing
the weekly paper at Plainvlew and
went into the base ball business, nis
share of the protits of the Denver
team, $12,000.00 is more thaa he could
clean up in Plainvlew in a century.
J. C. Ecker of Winside, Nebr., was
in the city Tuesday visiting old time
friends and looking after business for
the Mutual Insurance Company, for
which he is agent in this territory. Mr.
Ecker was a resident of this city
twenty-one years ago and was local
editor of the O’Neill Item then own
ed by the late Clarence Selah. Prior
to that time he was engaged in the
oewspaper business at Minneola and
made a reputation as a writer of en
tertaining democratic editorials. Mr.
Ecker is now located at Winside
where he has a newspaper but does
not have much to do with the man
agement thereof* the paper being con
ducted by Mrs. Ecker and son, Clyde.
While a life long democrat J. C. says
he will probably have to vote for Aid
rich this year as he has no use for
Dahlmanism or his followers.
Nancy Sanders has filed a petition
in the district court praying for a di
vorce from Charles Sanders, alleging
extreme cruelty. They were mar
ried on November 5, 1885, in Knox
county, Nebraska, and have for more
than ten years been residents of this
county. She alleges that defendant
is the owner of 400 acres of land worth
*8,000.00 and has personal property
worth *3,000.00. She alleges that he
has frequently threatened her life and
that she has been compelled to leave
home, on account of his abuse. Seven
children are the result of the marriage,
all but three of whom are doing for
themselves and she asks for the cus
tody of the three minors, an absolute
divorce and such alimony as the court
deems proper. She also asks a re
straining order to prevent defendant
from disposing of his personal proper
ty, and a temporary injunction has
been granted and the case will come
up for hearing upon September 24.
A thing too frequently overlooked in
our public schools is the literary feat
ture. “speakin, essay writtn’and sich.’
The attainment of happily expressing
one's thoughts and vividly portraying
with pen the occurences that meet us
is rare—almost the exception—yet
but few things are more advantage
ous; and a lack of this, though wise
and learned in many things, places
one at a great disadvantage in life,
while a lack in many many things,
yet proficient in this one particular,
will carry the possesser further on the
way to success than aught. The
time for acquiring this "'neg
lected feature” is often begun too late
in life, when embarrassments become
too great to be overcome. It should
begin with the child. When he is mas
tering his monosyllables let him ac
quire the faculty of telling what he
knows aud sees in iponoosyllables, and
let this be his daily, not weekly or
monthly task, and as he advances in
years he will advance in this, and his
graduating effort, while it will be his
best, it will uot be a sort of spasmodic,
unratural effort for the occasion, never
again to be attempted in life.
Mary W. Templen, aged sixty-one
years, wife of E. Templen, who resid
es upon the old Burns farm about six
miles northwest Of this city commited
suicide Tuesday morning about ten
o’clock at her nome northwest of
town, by hanging. Mrs. Templin had
been suffering from mental derange
ment for a little over a year and had
threatened to do way with herself and
she was closely guarded by her family.
Last Tuesday morning her husband
left the house for a few moments and
when he returned found her hanging
to the bedstead, having made a noose
out of some straps taken from a tele
scope, tied them around her neck and
then to the bedstead, then knelt down
upon the floor and was chocked to
death. She was not dead when her
husband cut her down but explried a
few moments afterward. Deceased
was the mother of thirteen children,
nine boys and four girls,Ifour of whom,
two sons and two daughters, live here.
The family moved here last spring
from Jefferson county and built a
splendid new home upon the farm
they purchased and the tragic ending
of the wife and mother is a severe
blow to the family and many friends.
The funeral will be held Friday, upon
the arrival of the children who live
in Washington. The many Holt coun
ty friends of the family sympathize
with them in their affliction.

LETTER FROM D. L. POND.
The following letter from D. L.
Pond, for many years a resident of
Inman, to a friend there was handed
to The Frontier for publication so
that his many friends might be able
to get his views on the “sunny south.”
Dear Friend:—It is now just a
month since we left Nebraska and I
am getting so much better 1 think we
struck it tine. After leaving Inman
we visited our children at Plainview
and Craig two weeks and had a good
time. We made good connections all
the way, kept on the Burlington to
Kansas City, then Santa Fe. Left
Kansas City about 11 a. m., coming
through Kansas, I must say It did not
look as good as Nebraska and we did
not see western Kansas tor we came
through there In the night. We
struck the Colorado line about day
light, from there all the way the gen
eral appearance is brown, much of the
way dry and barren, hills, mountains
and valleys so dry and barren the tim
ber does not grow to any size and pre
sents a scattered appearance, varying
every mile you go, scrub pine, scrub
oak, sage brush, soap weed, navaho
and a number more. In Colorado we
saw them make Irrigation ditches,
Arkansas river is in sight and used
for irrigation. La Junta is a good
town; here we turn south. Trinidad
is mu metropolis oi suumeru uuiui
ado, 15,000 inhabitants; altitude 6,056
feet. Picket wire river, or Las Ani
mas river, the Indians call It Purga
tory, because It rises so quick and
floods the country, runs through the
town, is dry now. As you cross the
line into New Mexcio you go through
a tunnel a mile long, said to be the
highest point. My memoranda reads
like this, dry hills, alfalfa, brush, dry,
corn, swampy, dry, fruit, red soil,
alfalfa,, dry, black rock, mountain*,
valley, dry, white rock, dry, alfalfa
and etc. All the way from western
Kansas to the Mexican line at El
Paso, Is one contlnous changable
brown scenery, enlivened where water
can be had and crops look good or bad
according to the amount of water
utellzed. The Mexicans do the most of
the farming. Of course their knowl
edge of water levels, dams and etc,
are rude and the use of water is limit
ed. Many of the streams go dry in the
summer and only furnish water when
heavy rains in the mountains send a
flood and fill the ditches with a thick
sediment of dirty water, very rich.
The farmers get busy night and day as
loug as the water lasts, 2* to 48 hours,
turning water on their crops. The
Rio Grande runs the whole length,
about the center of New Mexcio, has
a river bed I to I mile wide but the
3tream is very small, not more than
a rod wide m some places. We got to
Albequerque just at night, stopped
off, looked up some cousins, found
them doing well, had a good nights
rest and a good visit, 18,000 or 20,000
Inhabitants, probably the best city in
the state. The Rio Grande touches
the railroad here and we follow it to
El Paso, Texas. The scenery is the
same as described above, all the way
down. Many of the stations are small,
sometimes made up of adobe houses,
mostly Mexican settlers, other towns
show thrift and mark of the palatine.
It takes a stretch of imagination to
populate this vast teritory but Uncle
Sam is spending millions to develop
tlie arid west, New Mexcio and Ari
zona are liberal benefactors, the
Roosevelt dam in Arizona and the
Elephant Butte dam to be built on
the Rio Grande river 100 to 200 miles
above El Paso are among the largest,
the latter to cost eight to ten thous
and dollars; this dam will be 15 or 80
miles from here and built by the gov
erment. Demlng is in the Membras
Valley, 10 to 20 miles wide, surround
ed with 15 or 20 mountain peaks, ail
more or less have mines. The river
sinks in the ground 20 miles above,
heavy rains caused it to overflow.
Geo Graves and others have a dam 5
miles up and direct the water into a
ditch with laterals. Bob is working
320 acres of Graves’ land and has 160
