Andrew Mulligan arrived in the
city last Friday from King, Cherry
county, and is spending a few days
visiting old time friends in this city
and vicinity. Mr. Mulligan has a
homestead in Cherry county and says
that everything is prosperous in that
section o( the state.
It seems like old times to see Doc
Mathews hobnobbing with the boys
around the First National Bank
corner the past four or five nights,
and to hear the stories told by the old
timers must make the young fellows
of today feel that they live in a very
quiet and peaceable time
The implicit confidence that^mafly
people have in Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is
founded on their experiences in the
use of that remedy and their know
ledge of the many remarkable cures
of colic, diarrhoea and dysentary that
it has effected. For sale by all dealers
Few, if any, medicines, have met
with the uniform success that has at
tended the use of Chamberlain’s
Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
The remarkable cures of colic and
diarrhoea which it has effected in
almost every neighborhood have
given it a wide reputation. For sale
by all dealers.
Dott M. Schultz has filed suit for

they were married in Fremont, Nebr.,
on Septembre 3, 1900, and that they
have been residents of this county for
more than two years past. She asks
the custody of their minor child, who

An article that has real merits
should in time become popular. That
such is the case with Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has been attested by
many dealers. Here is one of them.
H. W. Hendrickson, Ohio Falls, Ind.,
writes, “Chamberlains Cough Remedy
is the best for coughs, colds and
croups, and is my best seller.” For
sale by all dealers.
A large number of O’Neill people
attended the annual fall festival held
at Page last Friday and Saturday.
The weather man did not treat our
neighbors very nicely, as it was cold
and wet both days, but those that at
tended say they had an enjoyable time
and that the citizens of that hUBtling
little burg had made splendid arrange
ments for the amusement of the
crowd, and that the various sports
were pulled, off despite the weather.
Governor Aldrich refused to issue a
requisition for the return of Joe Mc
Hugh from Missouri to this state.
McHugh was wanted as a witness in
the case of the state of Nebraska vs
John Carr and was out on #400 cash
bond, which he forfeited. A com
plaint was also filed charging him
having obtained money under false
pretense, but the complaining witness
dropped this charge against him and
the other offense not making him a
fugutlve from justice, the requisition
was denied.
Last week Harrington & Daly sold
the Edward Tlghe ranch, located
sixteen miles northeast of this city
to Richard Baden of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, for •93,000.00. This is one of
the finest ranches in Holt county and
[contains 3120 acres. Mr. Tighe pur
chased this from Judge Harrington
some ten years ago and has made a
very nice profit upon his investment,
more than doubling his money. Mr.
Baden will stock the ranch and his
sons will move thereon in the spring.
Mr Tighe gets some Iowa land in the
deal and he will move to Iowa in the
spring and make his residence on the
land acquired In the deal.
Ool. Barney Stewart, the hustling
auctioneer from Page, was in the oity
Tuesday. The Colonel returned about
a month ago from a visit to his old
home in Kentucky and is chuck full
of stories regarding that section of the
United States. He says that it was
his first visit to the land of his nativ
ity since he shook the dust of the
southland from bis shoes and moved
to Holt county thirty-five years ago.
The old place does not look the same
and most of the friends of his youth
he found were laid away in the ceme
tery, and, the Colonel added, most of
them died with their boots on. Bar
ney says that he has no more use for
that country and was mighty glad to
get back to old Holt, the paradise of
the best state in the union.
• Hugh McKenna returned home last
Saturday night with his pacer, Na
bisco, that he has been campaigning
in the eastern part of the state and
through Iowa. Hugh bad a very suc
cessful Beason with his horse but en
countered a little bad luck last week.
He shipped his horse from Lincoln to
Sioux City and on the way up the car
which contained the horse was bump
ed so hard that it threw the horse
against the end of the car, breaking
his jaw. He was then compelled to
ship the horse home. He was in good
condition at the time of the accident
and Hugh expected to get away with
a bunch of the “coin” at Sioux Oity as
it was the meet he had been nursing
bis horse for. Whether it will affect
the horse in the future or not can not
be determined until the fracture has
healed.
Lincoln News: The opinion ex
pressed by the head of the bureau of
animal industry that the disease pre
valent among the horses of Nebraska
is undoubtedly due to forage poisoning
is not agreed to by the state veterin
arian, and in this be is backed up by
the experts in the Kansas agricultural
college. The question of what the
trouble is is very important, since it
must be definitely settled before any
method of combating it can be de
vised. The Kansas man says that it
Is clearly cerebro-splnal meningitis,
for which there is no known cure. He
thinks also that la number of horses
have died because they were dosed
with medicine or bled. The disease
is confined entirely to horses and
mules, and so far in Kansas at least
no case has been discovered among
cattle. Quaranting against the dis
ease is also declared to be useless.
The only way the disease can be con
trolled is by a bacteria or serum, and
that is what the experts are bunting.
Henry T. Clark, Jr, member of the
state railway commission, with his
strenographer, Miss Emma J. Hedges,
was in the city last Tuesday hearing
the case of Joseph McC'affery, who
has petitioned the commission for a
transfer switch here so that cars
could be transferred from the Burling
ton to the Northwestern. and then
shipped on west. Mr McCafTery
alleged that the switch would give
them cheaper freight rates at Emmet
as it would enable them to ship grain
from statibns from points on the
Burlington that are now inaccessable
to them. He said that the last ship
meat of corn that he made to Emmet
cost him ten cents more than he
could have bought the same laid down
in O’Neill for. Many shippers were
present from the Burlington line fron:
Page, Orchard, Boyal and Brunswick
I and from the Northwestern line Iron
Emmet, Atkinson, Stuart, Basset and
Newport. The Northwestern and
Burlington were also well represented
at the hearing.There were present for
the Northwestern: Supt. Reynolds of
Norfolk, E. R. Butler of Omaha, and
Herman Aye of Omaha. For the
Burlington there were present: W.W.
Johnson, Attorney and J. P. Ilickox.
Attorney W. E. Scott of Atkinson
represented the shippers. The hear
ing occupied all day and the com
mission will announce their ruling
upon the matter In the next sixty
days after the evidence has been
transcribed and passed upon by the
entire commission. The consensus of
opinion among those who heard all
the evidence In the case is that the
commission will compel the railroad
companies to put in the switch.
W. D. Mathews, who came to Holt
county thirty-three years ago from
Wisconsin established the Frontier
and who was a resident of this county
for nearly twenty years, arrived in the
city last Thursday from Memphis,
Tenn., ana has been visiting old time
friends in this city and vicinity.
"Doc,” as he is familllarly and loving
ly called by old time friends, was one
of the greatest boosters who ever pitch
ed his tent In this county and one of
the brightest country editors who ever
wielded a shears or handled a paste
pot. He ran the Frontier for years
and finally disposed of the paper to
James H. Biggs and moved to Fre
mont where he engaged In the loan
business. In a few years he was back
to "Gods Country”, as he lovingly
ohrlstened this part of the state
shortly after looating here. Upon
his return the established The Free
Press which he successfully conducted
for a few years when he suspended
publication of the paper in order to
devote his entire time to the money
loaning business which he had estab
lished. Shortly thereafter he estab
lished the O’Neill State Bank. This
was about the time of the commencing
of the drought period and while the
bank did not fail none of the stock
holders made any money and it was
finally sold to an eastern capitalist
who conducted it for a few years and
then Uquodated. In 1894 Doc moved
to Stuttgart, Arkansas, where he
again entered the newspaper business
and published one of the snappiest
papers ever published in Arkansas.
Disposing of his interests there he
went to Little Rook, Arkansas, where
he established the State Republican
and tried for about two years to con.
vert the heathen southern democrats
to see the light according to the
teachings of the republican party.
Doc failed in this that is in converting
them to rupublicanlsm-but they con
verted him and he has since been an
enthusiastic democrat. He disposed
of his newspaper there and moved to
Alton, 111., where he entered the em
ploy of an eastern insurance company
and has been coining money ever
since. He is now located in Memphis
Tennessee, and is state agent for one
of the oldllne insurance companies and
is getting both corpulent and wealthy
During the past few days Doc has
had a splendid time with the old
timers talking about the good old
times some thirty odd years ago.
Them were strenuous times in the
newspaper business and as Doc
wellded a vitrolic pen, when occasion
demanded, he had his share of enemies
but had also as warm, staunch and
admiring friends as any man who
ever lived in this section. It is eigh
teen years this fall since he left the
Emereld Tinted city and he savs that
It seems awful good to get back again
among the old timers and the old
timers are all glad to see Doc. He
says that the old town looks good and
that this country is just beginning to
make good for the faith the old timers
had in It. He promised to write an
article for The Frontier upon his re
turn home when he will give his im
pressions of this city and county after
an absence of eighteen years.
Obituary.
Mrs Margaret Sullivan wife of
Michael Sullivan died at her home
two and a half miles southeast of this
city last Tuesday afternoon, after an
Illness of five weeks from ailments
incident to old age.
Margaret McCarthy was born in
County Cork, Ireland, in December,
1827 and was nearly 85 years of age at
the time of her death. She moved
with her parents to Canada when a
young lady and was married to
Michael Sullivan at St. Johns
Canada, In 1859. Shortly after her
marriage they removed to Portland,
Maine, where they resided a few years
and then moved to Pennsylvania where
they resided until 1880 when
they removed to this county and

After a long, busy and useful life
she died as she had lived honored,
trusted and loved. She reared her
own monument while she lived in
the heart of all who knew her. Her
life was completed If work all
done and well done constitutes
completion. Her Christian life was
beautiful from its beginning to its
close throughout all the vicissitudes
and sorrow that she met in the way,
her faith in Ood never wavered. But
she has left us and today the autumn
leaves fall upon another grave that
hides from our sight all that is mortal
of a true and noble woman.
Life will never be quite the same to
those who knew her, while those who
were nearest her will long for her
with unutterable longlngs-iong for a
mother’s council and advise and for a
wife’s gentle and loving sympathy.
Especially hard will It be upon her
aged husband who has been her daily
companion for fifty-three years and
the sympathy of all his friends go out
to him in this hour of bis sorrow for
the loss of his beloved companion she
was a woman of strong Christian
character; patient, loving and self
sacrificing.
Besides her aged husband she leaves
four children to mourn her departure
from this life. They are: Mrs. D. L.
Spellman of Omaha; Mrs. Myron
Sparks of this city; Mrs. Joe Dwyer
of Denver; and John Sullivan of this
city, all of whom were present at the
funeral. The funeral |was held at 10
o’clock this morning from the St.
Patrick’s church and was largely
attended.
