fair city visitor "are Just as dishonest
as the city milkman.” How d’ye

your hired man water the cows just
before he milked them.”

scrape up the twenty-live cents that
we pay a pound for it at the present
time and If it should go up to a dollar
there would be considerably less meat
used by the people of this country.

this afternoon extending his subscrip
tion to The Frontier. He compli
mented The Frontier very highly,
saying it was the best county paper
he had ever seen In the state and that
It would be impossible for him to
keep house without it. Such words of
oommcnt are always very pleasing
and rouses the force to attempt to
get out even a better paper, in the
future Mr. Evans said that many of
his neighbors had lost their hogs this
fall from cholera and that ttiere
was danger of having a hog famine in
this county, unless the ravages was
stopped.
The Midwest Magaztne: The “coun
try merchant” has the solution of the
mail order evil at his command. If
he will advertise his wares proportion
ate^ with the mail order house, make
as prompt deliveries, cultivate ills ter
ritory as thoroughly, and “follow up”
carefully, lie will be all right. The
country merchant who is forced out of
business by the parcel post and mail
order houses comes mighty near in
dicting himself as a business failure.
He can make ills local newspapers
equal in pulling effort to the mail
order catalogues if he will spend more
time studying up on the science of
advertising and less time in bewailing
“modern tendencies.”
By patronizing home merchants you
are rewarded by always having good
enterprising merchants at home.
Patronize them and they will benefit
you in more ways than one. You are
rewarded by seeing your patronage
and the patronage of your influence
In building up and maintaining your
own town; patronize home merchants,
home industry and home enterprise of
all kinds in preference to those of any
place. Spend your money at home
With people who have Interest in your
town. By doing this the town Is
kept up, property is made more valu
aole, conveniences are enlarged and
opportunities for financial improve
ments are opened.
Elmer Merriman lias disposed of his
bottling works to Fred Faulhaver of
Page, who takes possession of the
business the first.of the month. When
Mr. Merriman took charge of the busi
ness a couple of years ago it was run
down and was hardly making expen
ses. ATter he took hold of it lie pur
chased a lot of new machinery and
luilt the duslness up until now it is
•ecognlzed as one of the most pros
perous bottling works in the state.
Mr. Faulhavcr lias purchased the old
raylor property in the northern part
if the city and has moved his family
leie so that his children could have
;he advantage of O’Neill’s splendid
schools! The Frontier welcomes him
;o O’Neill and hopes that he will be
is successful in the business as was
lis immediate predecessor.
Aiigossipers and tattlers are baa
snough, bat deliver us from a woman
who tattles, one who from envy and
jealousy will attempt Jto blight the
Fair name of the woman who has been
tier companion, by making a house to
tiouse canvass, telling a tale here and
me there, me thinks, I can see the
lemon now, as she enters the home of
the one she desires to injure by un
Folding her story, she commences
thus, “Oil, I have something to tell
you.” but you must not repeat it, it
was just told me and must surely be
true, it is about Mary Doe, or Jane
Ltoe. Mother says it is awful, and
that I cannot go with her any more.
Vou can see the evil in this tattler
now She has made the first thrust,
stabbed her young friend in the back
with the piece of false news, a id thus
she makes her rounds from p ace to
place, doing all the harm she can.
Reflect about this awful habit of talk
ing too much, and shun a tattler as
you would a rattle snake.
A colored man and an Indian stole
two horses from a colored man named
Dixon in Garfield county last Friday
and headed this way. Sheriff Grady
was not notified of the stealing until
ttie following Monday, when he also
had a horse stealing case upon his
hands. It appears that the colored
man came on through to Atkinson,
having traded the horse he stole in
Garfield county to a man named Van
Housen, living on Holt Creek. The
horse he got from the man in the
southern part of this county he sold
to Fred Hitchcock in Atkinson last
Saturday evening and to make his
get-a-way he stole a horse belonging
to Paul Roth of Atkinson, which was
tied to a hitching post in Atkinson
that evening. When the sheriff was
notified of the theft of Roth’s horse
lie at once got busy with the wires
and finally located the nigger at
Dalles, S D , having in his possession
tiie horse lie stole at Atkinson and
he was at once taken into custody,
and Sheriff Grady left for Dallafs to
get his man this morning. No trace
of the Indian has been discovered.
An Indian was arrested at Page Mon
day, but lie was not the right party
and he was turned loose Tuesday
afternoon.

A Pipe Dream.
Every once in a while some cheerful
Individual remarks to me, “Well now
that the paper is out I suppose you
can take it easy for a few days,” says
an exehangel Yes, how delightful it
is that a country editor has nothing
to do between ptess days. Business
runs along automatically. When
paper bills come due money drops olf
the trees with which to pay them.
Subscribers vie with each other to see
who can pay the farthest in advance.
Advertisers beg for aditional space
And the way the news hunts up the
editor is pleasant to contemplate.
When the paper is out the editor goes
to his desk, leans back in his easy
chair, looks wise and waits till the
next week's press day, when the peo
ple line up in front of his office and
then tile past his desk and tell him all
the news of the week. He wiites it
up in fifteen or twenty miDutes and
hangs it on the hook. The composi
tors shake the copy over the cases,
say a few mystic words, the type Hies
into place, and after a few passes by
the foreman the forms are ready for
the press again, and the editor goes
down and deposits some more money
in the bank. It is the greatest snap
in the catalogue. Now if the editor
could only do away with press day his
joy would be complete.

Commercial Club Meeting.
The regular monthly suuper and
meeting of the Commercial Club was
held at the Golden Elotel last Tuesday
evening and was attended by thirty
two members of the club. After the
wants of the inner man Ead been sat
islled S. J. Weekes introduced O. I*.
Chambers of Dallas, S. IX, who was
present and who made a short talk
upon the subject uppermost in the
minds of most people in country towns
now-days, good roads. Mr. Chambers
told of the Scenic Highway they had
built through the Rosebud country
and said that they had spent a good
deal of money in putting the road in
good shape, but that they were being
paid by the increased number of tour
ists who were going through that
-country, which was the best advertis
ing the country could get. He said
i.that the route from Norfolk to O’Neill
and then to Spencer to connect with
ithe Scenic route was considerably
[shorter than the way the route was
((low laid out and that if the
'citizens of this city would mark the
road from here to Spencer he would
see that the route was listed in the
guide that they would have on the
press in about a month. He highly
complimented the citizens of the city
on the improved appearance of the
oity since his first appearance here
seven years ago. He said that it was
Ihe best city in this section of the
state and that traveling men in all
parts of the country were speaking
about the beauty and granduer of our
new hotel, which he said was doing
much to advertise this city. At the
conclusion of his remarks he was ex
tended a vote of thanks by the mem
bers of the club.
Dr. G. M. Mullen ol Creighton was
also present and made a few remarks
upon good roads and the wonderful
growth made by O’Neill in the past
few years. He told of the work done
by the citizens of Creighton in improv
ing the roads in the vicinity of that
city, and said that the money expend
ed had won for that city twenty per
cent of the business that had former
ly gone to other towns, on account of
tiie poor roads leading into Creighton.
Mr. Mullen said that during the past
tive months he had visited some thirty
town in Northeastern Nebraska and
said that without question O’Neill
was growing 1100 per cent faster than
any other town in this section of the
state and that its wonderful growth
and the substantial improvements
made here were being very favorably
commented upon by people in dilTer
parts of the state.
The Club instructed the committee
upon road marking to mark the road
to Spencer as soon rs possible so that
it would be listed in the guide being
published by the Scenic Highway
Route, as promised by Mr. Chambers.
The road committee was also instruct
ed to get busy and have the road lead
ing to Chambers iixed as soon as pos
sible. The road committee, consist
ing of Ed. F. Gallagher, Dr. J. P. Gil
ligan and O. F. Biglin, and J. A.
Donohoe and D. H Cronin were ap
pointed & committee to visit the coun
ty board at their next meeting and
see about the expenditure of the au
tomobile tax that is collected each
year for road purposes.
The matter of a Chatauqua for the
ensuing year was taken up and the
secretary instructed to write the dif
ferent Chautauqua companies and
see if a Chautauqua could not be se
cured for the ensuing year without
putting up a guarrantee and to rerort
