moving from Lynch as they are desir
able people In any community.
The Frontier’s reference to the at
tempted frauds by a business college
Of the state, or at least by parties
claiming to represent them, has
brought to light others in this county
which the college men attempted to
“string.” One of these, a young man
at Atkinson, writes us that two years
ago he signed an agreement to attend
the college and a year later received a
notice that be owed them a note
which they wanted paid. The young
man refused to be “worked” this way
and informed them he gave them no
note and would pay none. He says
they are still trying to induce him to
attend the school.
Con Kirwin was convicted in district
court at Butte last week of the kill
ing of Ed Jones last November at
Gross and has been sentenced to peni
tentiary for life. Judge Westover
presided at the trial. The usual mot
ion for a new trial was made by de
fendant’s attorney after the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, but this
wa9 overruled. Kirwin run a pool
hall at iGross and on the night of
November xl shot and killed Jones
after some words over money matters.
At the trial Kirwin testified that the
shooting was accidental. The state
produced testimony to the effect that
Kirwin took deliberate aim at Jones
and fired.
A press dispatch from Pierre, b. D.
says of the opening of additional lands
for settlement in the Pine Ridge
agency: “The counties of Mellette and
Bennette, in the southern part of the
state, will probably be opened to set
tlement in the month of June. While
these are good sized counties, the In
dians have taken a targe share of
them under their allotments, and the
white man will be allowed only what
is left. The Indian is getting thrifty
of late years and has learned to know
good farming land, but there will be
good openings for white settlers scat
tered over these counties.” O’Neill
people are interested ini this land op
ening as the hope is entertained that
this place will again be made one of
the registration points.
The O’Neill land office has received
notice that Guy Green’s final proof,
that had been held upon account of a
protest, has been cleared. This means
that the patent will shortly be issued.
Guy’s friends in O’Neill will be glad
to learn that he has come out victor
ious. There never was any reason foi
holding up this proof other than an
affidavit of misstatements wrongfully
made by a former homesteader ir
Guv’s community who for no reason ai
all but personal anomosity desired tt
make trouble for a homesteader wh<
has complied with the law perhap:
more closely than any other man thai
has filed on land under the Kinkaic
act. It has made Guy some trouhli
and work traveling around securini
affidavits from his neighbors, all o
whom knew lie bad complied with thi
law and did everything they could ti
convince the department of the injus
tice of the protest and the persona
feeling which actuated it. Guy’s cas
is a marked instance of how the in
spector system can be made an instru
• ment whereby much injury can b
i done honest homesteaders. The mail
trouble with many of the inspector
- which have oeen sent out is that in
stead of making personal inspectioi
i they take the word of others who hai
- sinister motives in securing a false re
port.
In Memoriam.
After a long period of wasting illness,
the remorseless hand of death brought
to a close a beautiful life of unselfish
devotion and Kindly thought of others
when on Thursday evening, April 6,
at 10:30 o’clock, Mrs. D. H. Cronin
departed this life, surrounded by her
husband and family. Her mother and
two brothers were also present
when life departed. For the past
year or more Mrs. Cronin had been
afflicted with tubercular trouble but
had entertained hopes of ultimate
recovery until recently. A mouth
ago she thought a change of climate
and absence from home scenes for a
time would be beneficial and expressed
a desire to go to the home of her sister
at Clark, S. D. The iourney was un
dertaken with her husband and she
felt in fine spirits while making the
trip, but it was soon learned that no
help could be had by the change and
they returned home the same week.
Her condition gradually became worse
so that a week previous to her death
her husband, who had come home
each week during the legislative ses
sion and bestowed all the care and
attention upon her possible, remained
by her bedside almost constantly, not
returning to Lincoln for the last week
of the legislature.
It was the marvel of those around
her that during the whole period of
affliction no word of complaint was
heard. Nor was it a mere display of
fortitude such as exhibited by proud
spirits that suffer calmly rather than
humble their pride; it was not merely
a flash of divine goodness of which we
sometimes get a glimpse from gener
ous souls—it was a radiance of light
and love and devotion for those about
her; a reflection of the heavenly glow
mirrored in the kind thoughts and
the beautiful deeds of a frail woman.
Her own condition did not trouble
her. Her constant thought seemed to
be for the welfare and happiness of
those dear to her, and a cheerful,
helpful spirit marked her life to the
end.
Kathleen R. Lorge was born at Fes
tins, W'nneshek county, Iowa, on
August is4,1871. When three years of
age her parents moved with their
family to Shelby county, Iowa, where
Kathleen grew to young womanhood.
In 1890 she oame with her
mother and brothers to Randolph;
Nebraska, and four years later,
On May 30, 1894, was married to D.
H. Cronin and came as a bride to
O’Neill at that time.
Deceased was the mother of seven
children, live of whom are living.
These are: Julius, Beatrice, Francis,
Geraldine and Erwin. Her mother,
Mrs. Anna Lorge, and three brothers,
John of Durant, Oklahoma. Peter of
Bowman, N. D., Henry of Randolph,
and one sister, Mrs. Mary Schmitt of
Clark, S. D., survive her. These were
all present at the funeral except Peter
Lorge, who recently moved to North
Dakota from Randolph. Mrs. N. J.
Lorge of Wilmont, Minn., Mrs.
Henry Lorge, and the Misses
Mary, Anna and Kathleen Lorge of
Randolph, nieces of deceased, and
Mrs. John Lorge, were also here to
attend the funeral.
The funeral, which was held Sunday
at St. Patrick’s church at the time of
the usual ten o’clock mass, was unus
ual-unusual because two bodies, that
of Mrs. Cronin and that of William
Froelich, who also died Thursday
night, were brought to the church at
the same time for the rites of burial.
The large and elegant edifice was
crowded with people who came to pay
the last tribute to the dead. The
usual mass vras celebrat ed by Father
Cassidy, and this was followed by the
requiem. Father Cassidy then lead
the story of the last Passover of Christ
and the disciples, the struggle in Geth
semane, the betrayal, trial and cruci
fiction, as recorded by St. Mathew.
The priest then addressed atew fitting
remarks to the congregation, calling
attention to the uncertainty of life
and admonishing his hearers to be al
ways ready for the final summons.
After the services at the church the
double funeral cortage proceeded to
the Catholic cemetery, where inter
' meat was made.
1 There were many floral tributes,
1 and among them a beautiful wreath
1 from the Elks lodge at Norfolk.
To the family with whom 1 have
' bad so long and intimate acquaint
‘ ance the death of Mrs Cronin is ac
! irreparable loss. The children wil
> miss their mother and the father b<
' lonely without his companion. Bui
1 tire memory of this good mother w<
5 hope will glow like a star of guidanci
to the one as they advance in yeari
' and prove a solace to the other.

Methodist Church Items
Glad Easter Greetings to all the
people! The Resurrection morning
ought to find every diciple of the Lord
Jesus Christ eager to go to the place
where they may meet and worship
their risen Lord. The assurance he
gave, was “Where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am I.” In all the services of our
Church next Sunday we expect to
meet with our Savior, and no disciple
can afford to miss the opportunity.
The usual services will be held during
the day, next Sunday, beginning with
the Class meeting at 10 a. m. led by
Mrs. O. O. Snyder.
The pastor will preach an Easter
sermon, in the morning at 10:30 taking
for his subject, "The First Easter
Greeting." The choir will render
some special and choice selections,
and we are expecting to have a most
delightful time as we worship togeth
er. We are not at all selfish in this
matter, but the rather, we are anx
ious to have all of our neighbors and
friends come and worship with us at
this time.
After the morning service comeB
the Sunday school, a most delightful
service. Some new scholars last Sun
day, and more to follow. Perhaps you
ought to be one of them. At any rate
you are hereby invited to cast in your
lot with us.
The Sunday evening services will be
Interesting, and we trust, helpful.
The subject of our discourse will be,
“The Floating Ahead.” Of course,
everybody is invited.
The Prayer meeting, on Thursday
evening, is not largely attended, but
is always helpful to those who attend.
A church that is spiritually dead,
might as well close its doors, or take
another name, for it cannot do the
work for which the church was estab
lished. The way to keep the Churcb
alive is to loyally sustain the prayer
and class meeting.
On Friday evening, April 21, the
Ladles Aid Society will serve a sup
per at the parsonage. A rare good
time and plenty of good things to eat
may be experted and everybody is cor
dially invited.

WILLIAM FROELICH
Prominent O'Neill Business Man
Succumbs to Short Illness.
William Froelloh died at an early
hour Friday morning at his home In
this city after a brief illness. In fact
it was not generally known Mr. Froe
lich was ill when the news of his
death was announced Friday morning.
He had been confined to his home for
less than a week but had not been
feeling well for a few days previous
to taking to his bed. A severe attack
of grip took hold of Mr. Froelich and
pneumonia developed with a compli
cation of liver trouble that quickly
ended the deadly work of the disease.
Mr. Froelich was one of O’Neill’s
prominent business men, being asso
ciated with James Ryan in an exten
sive hay and live stook business. His
death is a distinct loss to the com
munity, as well as a severe blow to
the bereaved widow and orphan child
ren.
The deceased was past forty-three
years of age, being born at Arrow
smith, 111., August 1,1868. He had
been a resident of Nebraskastnce 1889,
in which year he located in York
county. In 1892 he was married at
Exeter, this state, to Miss Nellie
Morgan. In 1901 Mr. Froelich be
came a resident of Inman, this county,
coming to O’Neill about four years
ago. Three children, two boys and a
girl, were born to Mr. Froelich, and
with their mother survive him.
Since coming to O’Neill Mr. Froe
lich has been prominently identified
with the business interests of the
town and has also taken an interest
in public affairs. At the time of his
death he was a member of the city
council from the Third ward. A year
ago last fall he was the democratic
candidate for sheriff and polled a large
vote in the county.
Deceased was a member of the
Knights of Columbus and Highlander
lodges, having 82,000 life Insurance in
the latter.
Besides his family, Mr, Froelich is
survived by four brothers and one
sister, F. E. B'roellch and Mrs. Teas
may of Arrowsmlth, 111, J. T. Froe
lich of Saybrook, 111., C. E. Froelich of
O’Neill and P. J. Froelloh of Gales
burg, 111. All of these except the last
named were present at the funeral.
Tb* following relations of Mrs. B’foe
lich came here to attend the funeral:
Mr andMrsJohn Morgan of York,Neb.
William Morgan and Mrs. Sullivan of
Exeter, Neb., and Miss Etta Morgan of
Sioux Falls, S. D. Other friends from
out of town that came to attend the
funeral were: Frank Nevill of Exeter,
William Nevill and M. Cunningham
of Eddyville, Neb., Henry Foley of
Omaha and Mr. and Mrs. William
Ryan of Emerson, Neb.
The funeral was held Sunday at St.
Patrick’s church and interment
made in the Catholic cemetery.
Card of Thanks.
In appreciation of the generous help
and kind sympathy during our bereve
ment we wish in this way to express
our sincere gratitude to the many
friends who did so much to eliminate
the affliction of our loved one and
lighten our own burden In the hour
of sorrow.
Mrs. Froelich and Family.
GUARANTY LAW
Became Operative in This State
Friday of Last Week.
The bank guarantee law became
effective in Nebraska at noon last Fri
day when the mandate of the United
States supreme court was received at
Lincoln. This mandate reverses the
decision of Judge Manger and Van
De van ter, and puts into operation the
act guaranteeing bank deposits, which
wss passed two years ago.
When the provisions of the bank
guaranty law will be put into oper
ation is a matter whioh has not been
passed on by the banking board as yet.
A meeting of that body will be held
soon, at which the matter will be dis
cussed. Matters of detail must be
worked out before the law can take
effect.
The most important feature of the
administration of the bill in its early
stages will be the action taken by the
board with regard to the payment of
sums which should have been in the
hands of the board for the state banks
In the last two years. The Injunction
of the district court prevented collect
ion of these sums. The law provided
for the collection of installments of
ttie guaranty fund from the state
banks at various times in 1906 find
1910, and the collection of a smaller
amount In 1911. Whether to call In
the full amount of all that should
have been paid in the past at once, or
to proceed to collect the guaranty
fund in the same amounts and at the
end of the same periods of time as
provided for in the bill is a matter the
board must decide.
The Nebraska democrats gotOtbelr
inspiration for the guaranty law from
Oklahoma, where the law has been in
effect now several years but is not al
together satisfactory. A dispatch
from Washington says a stampede of
Oklahoma state bankers to get out
from under the provisions <;f the law
is in evidence and that the office of the
controller of the currency la flooded
with applications from those who are
desirous of converting their Institut
ions Into national hanks.
The guaranty law went into effect
in Oklahoma on October 1, 1908. In
the year 1908 only one state bank was
converted Into the national system.
In 1909 there were three. 1910 there
were seven. Thus far In 1611 there
have been eighteen conversions and
during the last three months appli
cations for conversion have numbered
between seventy-five and one hundred
about aixty-five of them coming in
within the last thirty days. Action
on nearly all of these is yet to be tak
eD«'< We are tired of the guaranty law,”
is the'b'urden of the song of the bank
ers whose applications are on file.
One banker writes that his net losses
within a term of years aggregated
•217. One assessment under the
guaranty law to protect depositors
mulcted him of nearly ten times that
amount.
“The guaranty law is too expen
sive,” one writer says. The banking
board has just levied on him an assess
ment of one per cent on his avenge
deposits for the last year amounting
to more than 93,000.
Such expressions as, “We have bad
enough of the guaranty law; “We are
disgusted with the guaranty law;”
“We have no faith in the gusnnty
plan;” and “The law is too expensive
and altogether unjust,” are of fre
quent occurrence.
In nearly every case the applicant
demands that the bureau take "hur
ried” action. The bankers of the state
are harassed by rumors that another
assessment is in immediate prospect
and they desire to change to national
banks in time to avoid it.
Their complaint is that the law op
erates into the hands of speculative
bankers at the expense of the conser
vatives. Their argument ia altogeth
er in line with the one advanced by
President Taft during the last presi
dential campaign.
