The Sioux City Boosters arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon at 6:20 and their arrival was announced by the tooting of the whistle of their train. The delegation was met at the depot by a delegation of O’Neill citizens and they were escorted to the Golden Hotel In automobiles. After the wants of the inner man had been satisfied by a sumptuous spread at the Golden, Reeds Band, one of the oldest and best musiclal organizations In the state of Iowa, give a band concert near the hotel upon an Improvised stand that had been erected ror the occasion. The concert was splendid and was thoroughly enjoyed by 600 people who thfrmged the streets near the band stand. The members of the party scattered around town calling upon the several business men that patronized their jobbing houses and the boys from the town Just across the river seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves during their stay In the city. One thing that seemed to Impress the visitors most was the Golden Hotel and each member of the party could not find words sufficient to express their sur prise at Hading such a beautiful hotel in a city of this size. W. E. Holmes, secretary of the Sioux City Commercial Club, and aD old employee of the Sioux City, O’ Neill and Western when the Short Line was built Into this city In 1889, was in charge or the party. Twenty years ago Mr Holmes was a Irequent visitor to this city and he said that he was astonished at the great growth of the city during the past decade. "You have a splendid city here now,’’ ha remarked to the Frontier scribe, "but that you will have a much better one Ip a very f^fr years,Is very evident from the evidences of prosperity od every hand. We are glad to see you prosper for the people of Sioux City have always had a very warm Bpot In their hearts for the people of the little city of O’Neill.’’ Mr. Holmea was very popular with the young folks as he distributed candy with a very lavish hand and was easily the most popular member of the party with the younger citizens of the city. The party started for home about S:40 all well pleased with their visit the beat little oity in Northeastern Nebraska. Angler Says Horisky No Jonah. O’Neill, Neb., July 16,1913. Editor Frontier: The article in last week’s Frontier on the Dewey Lake fishing trip of Messrs. Mike Horisky et al seems to have been in spired by private venom. The article not merely insinuates, but coarsely charges that Hdirlskey was a "Jonah”. What does tbe peeved writer of vour. article—for I’ll bet a Wilson wobbler that the article was privately con tributed—mean ty the term “Jonah”? Does he mean a man who has hooked big fish, as tbe original Jonah hooked the whale? If so, than our alfable friend is truly worthy of the appellation. But if he intends, as I think it like, that our local Izaac Walton operated as a jinx to the party than I, and every loyal member of the Carter club, must brand it as a base Insinuation. The truth Is, Mr. Editor, that the contributor of that article is trying to oover up bis own slimy traoks, for the evidence showB that he, himself, aud not Mr. Horlskey, was the jinx of the gang. Didn’t be let the bass es cape as quickly as Horiekey caught tbem? What credit Is to be given to a man who can’t hold a fish even In a gunny sack? Who is so Ignorant of this noble sport tbat he expected the finny tribe to jump into his boat, or to pick them off tbe rushes? A man who had the brazen effrontery to de nounce all fishing, and in the presence Of strangers ;to call bait casting the act of an Insane degenerate? Shades of Izaao Walton, Daniel Webster, Qrover Cleveland and all departed fisherman spare this man, for he knoweth not what he doeth nor what hrsayeth. If be did it would be the duty of every true member of tbe Carter club to give him the hook. On aooount of Mr. Horlskey’s well known modesty, I offer this humble effort in defense of a muob abused but noble spirit. Yours respectfully George Carter. State Taxes Hastings Tribune: According to figures recently tabulated tbe taxes assessed In Nebraska for the year 1912 amounted to 114.71 for every man, woman and child In the state. This includes state county, municipal school, school district and regular local taxes but no special levies like sewer or paving assessments in the cities, nor the state occupation tax on corporations. The total amount of general taxeS| levied in the state during the year of 1912 for general purposes was *17, 663,353, and of this sum about one seventh or $2,409,643 was state taxes. The remainder was county, school and local taxes. The gross valuation of property upon which these levies were made was 1465,100,451, and the average tax throughout the state for all general purposes was 37.95 mills. As this is the tlrst time an accurate total has been made of the taxation statistic for the state of Nebraska and all of its subdivisions it is being re ceived with no small degree of inter est.

R Mellor of the state board of agricul ture, indicated that in forty-eight counties the planting of alfalfa has in creased 32 per cent over 1912.

Walt Mason: The pitcher is1 pitch ing, the batsman is itching to punch the ball in the old fashioned way; the umpire’s umping, the fljeklers are bumping—we’re playing baseball iD our city today! Two thousand mad creatures are perched on the bleachers, the grand stand is full and the fence the same, the old and the youthful, 'the plain and the lonely are watching the game. The groaning tax payers are watching tne players, forgetting a while all their burdens and wrongs and landlord and tenant are saying the pennant will cnrae to this town where it surely belongs. The lounger and toiler, the spoiled and the spoiler, are whopping together like boys at the fair; andJoes of long standing as one are demanding the blood of the Umpire,-his bide and his hair. The game is progressing, now punk and distressing—our boys are all rattled, the audience groans But see how they ralley—O, scorer, keep talley! We’ll win at the finish. I’ll bet seven bones! The long game is ended, we fans have all wended back, back to our lobors, our cares and our joys, once more grave and steady—and yet ever ready to stake a few plunks on our bunch of boys! Maeterlinck on the Future. Maeterlinck in bis book culled “Le Mort” says of the mystery of the after death that outside of the religious there are four imaginable solutions and no more. These are total annihila tion. survival of our consciousness of today, survival without any sort of consciousness, survival with universal ronsciousness or with a consciousness different from that which we possess in this world. The Joke on'- Father.

The organizer of the Vil lage Singers and Players experienced this difficulty when he set about giv ing the music-loving public "something different.” After a good deal of re search the right material was found, material that bad been “tried out" be fore critical audiences north and south, east and west. The result is the com pany that is to appear here during the Chautauqua. They will be assisted by Adelaide Lyman Green, as accompanist, herself a pronounced Lyceum favorite with an enviable reputation extending over ■ | series of years. BLACK HILLS BOY MAKES COCO \ - Ben M. Wood of Rapid Cily Achieves Distinction. IS GOOD ROADS BOOSTER. Secretary of South Dakota Scenic Highway Association Will Be Here During Chautauqua. “A prophet is not •without honor save in his own country,” is a tru.sm that was given utterance nearly two thousand years ago. There are just enough exceptions to prove the rule. Ben Wood, who is to be on our Chau tauqua, is one of these exceptions. In the first place, young Wood saw the necessity of a good schooling, and at an early age set about obtaining it. He was educated in the schools of three states, taking his law degree at the University of South Dakota in 1910. He entered into partnership »—---—' - --~ | B M. WOOD. with his father in the practice of law, and soon after became interested in the goo’d roads movement, which was by this time becoming very popular in “the Hills.” Mr. Wood was sue cessively chosen- secretary of the South Dakota Scenic Highway associa tion, the South Dakota Good Roads association, and Governor Vessey’s personal representative on the path finder tour from Winnipeg to Galves ton, over the “Meridian Highway.” His latest work in the interests of good roads is the organizing of a path finder party to tour over one of the transcontinental routes froth Chicago to Yellowstone park. Mr. Wood is a deep student, especial ly along good roads lines; he is a flu ent speaker^and has a marked faculty for holding the attention of his audi ence. He spent several' months of careful study in the preparation of South Dakota’s present good roads law and has recently been appointed a member of the highway commission of that state. O’Neill Chautauqua July 25 to 29 A Winner of Many Medals. Maude Hare Avery, the talented reader who is to appear on our Chau tauqua program this summer, has probably a larger collection of valua ble medals than any similar artist touring the country today. Among these is a diamond medal, which car ries with it the highest honors in an open contest in which she took part a few years ago. ___ »-.. • • I MAUDE HARE AVERY. As a girl in school she displayed un usual ability along elocutionary and dramatic lines, and her successes be fore thp public in later years have fully justified the early predictions of her friends that the little miss would make her mark in the world. Those who know her are not sur prised at her phenominal success on
