Which Will You Buy?
One curious thing
^ about matches is
this: You pay no
. more for the best than
for the worst.
Five cents a box is
the standard price
for matches.
For five cents your
grocer will give you
a box of ordinary
matches or a box of
SafeHomeMatches.
Under certain con
ditions ordinary
matches are very
dangerous.
Under all conditions,
Safe Home Matches
are the safest matches
in the world. They
are absolutely non
poisonous.
They ignite at a temper
ature in excess of 300°
Fahr.—150° more than
ordinary matches. They ,
do not spark. They do
not sputter. The sticks
are strong and sturdy
and do not break easily.

to who shall be candidates on the
ticket or managers of the party cam
paign.
W. H. Thompson, a half and half
between the factions, is trimmed of
all authority as state chairman and
the party army is moving under the
secret order of Mr. Bryan’s enemies.
They dare hot announce the real
purpose which is to lock the door
against Bryan in 1916. With More
head, the tool of the antf-Bryanites in
the saddle, clothed in a Bryan uniform
and his party managers waving a
Wilson banner and, shouting the
“Party Loyalty” battle cry, they hope
to check the threatened bolt to How
ell. Morehead and Maupin, side by
side, on the state ticket and not on
speaking terms and what Maupin
said for Morehead before election and
then said of him after election two
years ago is not printed in the cam
paign literature. Inharmoy between
the factions, inharmony between the
campaign managers and inharmony
between the candidates clouds the
democratic campaign with gloom.
Any changes in the situation will be
noted in the next letter.
LOCAL MATTERS.
A birthday party was given in
honor of Miss Gertrude Howard at
her home last Sunday afternoon. The
time was spent in playing games,
after which a dainty luncheon was
served and the guests departed wish
ing their little friend many happy
returns of the day.
Mrs. F. M. Pixley and son, Norman,
returned last Thursday night from
California, where they have been for
the past six months for the benefit of
Mrs. Pixley’s health. Mr. Pixley met
them in Omaha Monday and returned
with them. Mrs. Pixley’s health has
greatly improved during her residence
in California but she is glad to get
back to O’Neill.
Philip Sullivan arrived in the city
last Friday from Butte, Montana, for
a few days visit with his sister, Miss
Mary, and brother, Jack. Philip has
added considerable flesh since
his last visit and is now in the heavy
weight class. He has a responsible
position in the general offices of the
Anaconda Mining company and is
highly prosperous.
On Saturday, October 10, 1914,
there will be a civil service examina
tion held in this city to make certifica
tion to fill the contemplated vacancy
in the position of postmaster at Em
met, Neb. The compenstion of the
postmaster at Emmet was $503.31 for
the last fiscal year. Applications for
the examination must reside within
the territory supplied by the Emmet
office.
Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Danker, Mr. and
Mrs. Simon Foltz and Mr. and Mrs.
M. Bright, of Anoka, Neb., and Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Taylor, of Wichita,
Kansas, were in the city Wednesday
and Thursday attending the Holt
county fair. Mr. Danker is the re
publican candidate for representative
from the Fifty-Fourth district, com
prising Holt and Boyd counties, and
while in the city was busy meeting the
voters of Holt county.
After practically recovering from a
severe attack of typhoid fever, William
Reiff, the Page barber, died Sunday
evening of blood poisoning caused by
the extraction of a tooth. He was
able to be about when he felt it
necessary to have the tooth pulled.
This caused him considerable pain and
the loss of such a large amount of
blood that a physician and dentist was
called. The cavity bled for four or
five days. The physician and nurse
declare that Mr. Reiff put up the
hardest fight for his life of any patient
ever coming under their care, but he
was unable to win.
O’Neill and the Kansas City Red
Sox played two ball games in this
city last week. The first game was
on Friday and was won by the Sox
with a score of 7 to 0. The O’Neill
team was badly crippled in that game
as a number of the regular players
were unable to be present. A second
game was played between these two
teams on Sunday and was a very in
teresting contest. This game wfes
won by the Red Sox with a score of
4 to 2. It was an interesting game
and was witnessed by a good-sized
crowd of fans. Johnson and Jones
were the battery for O’Neill and Mr.
Johnson twirled a splendid game,
holding the hard hitting Sox down to
two singles, both being made by the
same man and appeared to be the only
member of the team that could con
nect safely with the brand of pitching
that was being dished up by Johnson.
Errors were responsible for the scores.
While Johnson was twirling a good
game, Modlin, who was on the mound
for the Sox, was also in fine form and
held O’Neill to four hits. The Sox are
good ball players and a bunch of good,
clean fellows.

pains or soreness of the muscles, you

have used it with the best results. It

C. H. HURST IN CITY TODAY.
Motor Car Representative Enthusias
tic. Many Dealers Want Agency.
Local Dealer to be Picked
Soon.
C. H. Hunt representative for Dodge
Brothers in this district, is in the city
today, and is responsible for the
statement that the appointments of
dealers for the sale of the new Dodge
Brothers’ motor car are about to be
made in this sction. Mr. Hunt is full
of enthusiasm about the new car, the
firm, and the policy behind it.
“When I was in Detroit a short
time ago,” said Mr. Hunt yesterday,
“about 2,000 applications from dealers
asking for selling rights had been re
ceived. That number has jumped to
6,700. I do not believe a condition
like this has ever before existed in the
motor car industry. Dodge Brothers,
with their immense works and mil
lions of money, are to market a mo
tor car of their own in the fall. At
one step, they will throw their entire
facilities into the production of the
one car. The output of course will be
large. This fact, and the reputation
of the firm, seems to have an electrical
effect on the dealers, and on everyone
interested in motor cars.
“In some of my towns, practically
every dealer wants an agency. My
work just now centers in determining
who are the best dealers, rather than
in selling our cars or our proposition.
The strength of the Dodge Brothers’
name and reputation has already done
all the.selling necessary.
“I have been allotted a fair pro
portion of the year’s output for my
territory, but I am sorry it isn’t twice
as large.”
Mr. Crowley Dies From Injuries.
Stuart Ledger: Last Sunday
morning as Mr. and Mrs. Con Crow
ley were coming to Stuart to church,
and had reached a point just north of
the two bridges north of J. F.
McGrew’s south ranch, they met an
automobile at which their team be
came frightened, swerved to one side,
overturning the buggy into the ditch.
Mr. Crowley was so badly hurt that
he was not able to survive the shock,
but passed away Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Crowley, while prostrated with
grief, was not seriously hurt by the
aecident. The funeral occurred this
(Tuesday) forenoon at St. Boniface
church, of which Mr. Crowley was a
devout member. A very large congre
gation of relatives and friends were
pesent.
Uttley Again Tackles County Board.
O’Neill, Neb., Sept. 14, 1914.
To the Editor Frontier: When I
wrote a letter published by you some
time ago mentioning a few items of
how the Supervisors had spent the
money raised by taxation for Holt
county, I stated there was more to
come, if the people wanted it. Since
that time I have been asked by many
people, in various parts of \he county
where your paper circulates, to give
them some other items, but have been
waiting patiently, hoping and trust
ing, that the County Board would take
the matter up and fully advise the
people in this matter, as they are in
a much better position than I am to
do it. Having failed to see or hear
anything from them, through the pa
pers or otherwise, I decided to give
them a few more items.
On August 18, 1914, they levied a
bridge fund amounting to something
about Twenty Thousnd Dollars. They
also levied an Emergency bridge Fund
Tax which amounted to something
over Four Thouand Dollars, and on the
27th, 28th and 29th of August, they
allowed bills against this fund for
bridges built, and work done, long
prior to the levying of this tax, the
greater part of which was done dur
ing the fiscal year 1913, amounting to
nearly Twenty-five Thousand Dollars,
which under the law they had no right
to do, and it may be recovered from
them on their bond, for the benefit of
Holt county, if the people see fit to
go after it. While looking among the
records of the supervisor’s office to
arrange for the evidence which I
needed in the trial of the case I have
brought against the Supervisors, to
prevent them buiilding bridges under
an illegal, and unlawful contract, I
found a Supervisor’s bill, among which
are the following items: August 8th.
Work to McAllister road $4.00. Auto

It would appear from these items
that this Supervisor was having joy
rides at the expense of the people of
Holt county. Another thing that
attracted my attention, was the ad
journments of the board, which al
ways appears to be until 9 o’clock a.
m. The statute law of this state says
that 8 hours shall constitute a days
work for the state and county. Of
course they might put in eight hours
work from nine o’clock till six and
have one hour for dinner, but during
the many times that I have been
present at the board sessions, during
the past year, they adjourn promptly
at five o’clock in the afternoon until
nine o’clock in the morning.
Another thing that was called to
my attention, and I examined the rec
ords carefully, at a period about when
this took place, to see if there was any
record ofitintheirproceedings. About
a year ago or little better, there was
a woven wire fence around the court
house which must have cost at least
$60.00. This was by the County
Supervisors sold, posts and all, and
has been removed, but there is nothing
on record to show anything in ref
erence to it that I was able to find,
and I was advised by the party who
called my attention to it, that it had
not not yet been paid for.
Another thing that was sold about
this time, for which there is no record
that I could find. Along the west
side of the court house yard, was a
series of good cedar posts, through
which was stretched about 150 feet of
cable, half inch as I remember it.
This, the party speaking to me about
it said, two of the Supervisors took
the cable home for stacker ropes.
These are only a few items, and some
of them probably small, yet in my
judgment they tend very strongly to
indicate how at least some of the
money of Holt county goes, and the
result of their action in reference to
the bridge fund leaves the county
without any money to build any
bridges, or repair any bridges until
the tax levy of 1915. Any person do
ing any work on bridges, since March
1st last will probably have to wait for
their money until next tax levy and
perhaps longer.
This is probably enough at this
time. If the people want any more I
may be able to get some in connection
with the general fund, and possibly
the road fund. I have not personally
made any investigation on these funds
up to the present time.
Very respectfully,
H. M. Uttley.
