NUMBER 37
BOND ELECTION FOR
SCHOOL NEXT TUESDAY
Apparently No Opposition to Voting
Bonds for New School House.
IFIRE SCARE GETS OUT CROWD
Cockrell Pool Hall Scene of Fire
Fighting Today—Department Soon
Gets In Action.
Next Tuesday is the bond election,
when the proposition of bonding the
1 school district for $50,000 to build a
new school house, will be voted upon.
Tlie matter is not creating very much
comment either for or against. Every
body is pretty well agreed that a new
school building is badly needed.
Any person qualified to vote at a
school election may vote on the bond
proposition next Tuesday. That
means any one twenty-one years of
age or over,either sex, who has taxable
property or has children of school age.
The election will be held at the usual
voting place in the city.
A fire at F. W. Cockerell’s pool hall
at 11 o'clock today created excitement
enough to bring out half the town.
The tire originated apparently from
the chimney between the ceiling and
roof. Smoke was coming from the
roof and front end of the building
when the firemen got their. The fire
was confined to the space above, no
damage resulting to the pool room.
Occupants of adjacent buildings be*
come a little uneasy until assured that
the tire could not spread. The barbers
in George Gibbons’ shop took the pre
caution to convey their personal be
longings to places of safety.
The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb. Feb. 25.—From
tlie Standard Live Stock Com
mission Co.
The cattle market is showing a nice
advance this week in the price of
killers of all classes. There seems to
be a good demand and a broad out-let.
Stockers and feeders continue active
and stronger with a lively inquiry
from all sources.

but values have been forced up. Bulk

There is a fair supply of sheep and
a liberal supply of lambs arriving with
an active market that can be quoted
steady to strong.
Can we do anything for you? Do
you intend to ship soon?
Engines Stalled Moving Church.
Newport Republican: T&e work of
moving the Catholic church from
Stuart has been delayed some on ac
count of the engines not having
enough power to move the building,
making it necessary to use one of the
C. A. Davison ditching machine cap
stan which will make the work con
siderable longer. The church, which
is a very heavy structure, had been
moved nearly four miles when the
several engines that were used to
move the building could not . pull it
any more The capstan method was
adopted the first of the week and It
will be a week or so before the tend
ing is in Newport. The church will
be placed on lots donated by J. B.
Menuey in the west part of town near
the base ball park. \
Arrested for Desertion.
Sheriff Grady went up to Kilgore
Tuesday after Neil Hagerty, whom
he arrested and brought to O’Neill to
answer to a charge of wire desertion,
complaint having been filed in count}
court by County Attorney Hodgkin.
Mrs. Hagerty,who has teen working
in Omaha to support herself and two
small children and receiving help
from a state charitable organization,
is now at the home of her parents
northwest of town. She has no desire
to prosecute her husband on the
criminal charge of wife desertion, but
wants him to be ordered by the county
court tc contribute to the support of
herself and children.
The bearing will be held in county
court this afternoon.
Big Events Over in Court.
The rush is over in district court,
the jurymen having been discharged
last Thursday after the verdict was
rendered in the personal injury case
brought here from Omaha. Judgment
was rendered in some equity cases by
the court after the discharge of the
jury.
Monday a case against the village
board of Ewing restraining them from
installing anew pumping outfit came
on for hearing before Judge Dickson,
who had previously issued a tempor
ary restraining order. Some of the
members of the board were present in
court. Judge Dickson continued the
hearing to a later date, meanwhile
the temporary order remaining etfec
tive. Tuesday the court room remain
ed locked.

Here is a pretty good logic, tbe
author If which we don’t Imow: When
a man Is nearly frozen from a ten mile
drive on a cold winter day, be will
hardly stop to read a plank adver
tisement. But a man at home in his
arm chair with his legs crossed|before a
cheerful fire reads bis local paper, and
while be Is feeling good and has plenty
of time, picks out the live business
men of tbe town from the advertise
ments in the paper and makes up his
mind where he wilL&rade on his next
trip to town.
Considerable interest Is manifest
throughout the country in tbe forth
coming land opening of the Ft. Niob
rara reservation. The date for the

act opening the land for settlement,
some small tracts are to be reserved
by tbe government and these selec
tions are to be made by the agents at
the interior department gets to it
after whlcb the time for drawing wil!
be fixed. O’Neill has a good show t(
be made a registration point. There
are some 60,000 acres to be opened t<
settlement, most of whlcb Is said tc
be good, hard farm land.

Humorous Yarns
A witty judge of the municipal
court of Boston stoutly declared that
“a patriot was a man who refused to
button his wife’s lingerie waist.” "A
martyr” he went on, “is one who
attempts and falls while a hero
tries and succeeds.” "Then what is
a coward?” asked a curious bystander.
“Oh a coward,” replied the judge, "Is
a man who remains single so he wont
have to try.”
Columbus Telegram: Nebraska
missed having a second Abe Lincoln
when the state failed to elect L. D
Richards to that office. The Fremont
seer is as full of pat stories as Fremont
is of politicians. His latest is an
automobile story about a sohool boy
and his mother taking a buggy ride.
At a turn in the road a big, red auto
mobile came suddenly upon them.
The exoited mother uttered a piercing
scream, and threw her hands above
her head. The polite auto-driver
threw on his emergency brake, step
ped down from his oar, approached the
buggy and offering his services in
calming the horse, which did not
appear to be as nervous as the lady.
Seeing that the horse did not need
any attention the gentleman asked
the boy if he could be of assistance.
The boy replied: “Please take mother
by the hand and lead her .around the
machine and I’ll manage the horse all
right.” ^

Passing Off Letter Purporting to Be
Written By Town Girl.
HOMESTEADERS LOAN AGENCY
Burlington Railroad Man Will Try to
Organize Nebraska Capital and
Plaoe Loans.
Some chap Is traveling over the j
state as cupid’s agent. Several news
papers, including some of the big
dailies, have “fell” for his “dope,”
which consists of a slangy but breezy
letter purporting to be written on a
"dare” by a girl of the town. The
letter first showed up In a paper at
Ravenna and purports to set forth the
mind of the girls of that town toward
the men who persist in remaining
bachelors. The Frontier received one
of these letters mailed In the O’Neill
office yesterday.
If any of the O’Neill girls want to
criticize the bachelor boys or enlist
our aid in securing them desirable
husbands we will be glad to help them
out and promise absolute secrecy, but
we draw the line on an outsider com
ing in here with a warmed over letter
to pass off as the expression of the
minds of O’Neill girls.
D. Clem De&ver, land and immW
{ration agent or the Burlington rail
road, is sending out letters to ascertain
if homesteaders who have made final
proof want to borrow money on their
places. His plan is as set forth in the
following letter addressed to The
Frontier:
There are many millions of dollars
>n deposit in Nebraska banks. Some
jf the owners are looking for invest
ment in good securities. There are
thousands of Kinkaid homesteaders
that have now made proof and want
to borrow some money to buy milk
tows with. Will you help me to get
them together?
I am going to have a meeting March
14 in Omaha with a number of
financiers who have money to loan on
good security and would like to know
bow many in your locality have proved
up on their 640 acre homesteads and
want to borrow money to buy milk >
hows with. After talking with some
of the men who have money to loan
md with a large number who want to
borrow, this plan has suggested itself
to me, that the owners of the proved
up 640 acre olaimB write out an
application for five year 11600 loans,
riving the legal number of their land,
full description of improvements,
itate that they are willing to invest
11000 of the money In milk cows and
{ive mortgage on the cows and their
14o acres, and, state what they pro
pose to do with the other 1600 and
what rate of Interest they are willing
jO pay.
If you will get the applications to
gether for your locality and get them
;o me by, say March 13,1 will present
;hem to the people who have money
:o loan and it may result in the
jrganizatlon of a company for the
purpose of loaning money to Kinkaid
jomesteaders.
If any Frontier readers are interest*
>d in this proposition they can send
their application to this office and it
will-be forwarded to Mr. Deaver.
