Fire, attributed by the owners of he detsroyed property, to a spark orm a Burlington engine, Monday fternoon, consumed the Farmers’ lome hotel livery barn, belonging to Irs. G. Uecher, and the L. L. Mande ille barn, located at Second and Irant streets. Three horsese and one mule, in luding team of seven year old black nares the property of Warren Sparks f Inman precinct and a horse and nule the property of Hans Peterson, !r., residing about eighteen miles lorth of O’Neill, lost their lives in the ire. The team of mares were valued iy Mr. Sparks, with their harness, at ibout $500 and the Peterson horse and nule at approximately $300. The Jecker barn was insured for $200 and he loss is estimated at about $1,500. fhe Mandeville barn, just across the illey, contained nine tons of baled hay ind was insured for $250. Furniture .nd lunch wagon equipment stored in he Uecker barn and the property of J. F. Kirwin and a tank belonging to \ F. Coyne were among the things to ;o up in smoke. The fire, which started about 2:40 p. n., shortly after a Burlington engine iad completed switching in the icinity, was fanned by a strong south ast wind and had gained considerable ieadway before the fire alarm was urned in. Starting at the southeast orner of the Uceker barn it almost at nee enveloped the animals therein McKELVIE FOR GOVERNOR. Successful Business Man. One of the things frequently referred to in connection with the candidacy of S. R. McKelvie for governor is the fact that he has been an unusually success ful business man. Though a young man, he has shown a foresight and ex ecutive capacity in business which commands the attention of observing business critics wherever he is known. His knowledge of Nebraska conditions, together with his natural business sta bility, is one of the several reasons why McKelvie is usually referred to as The Popular Candidate. and prevented their rescue. Only the most heroic and capable directed work of the fire dejartment, handicapped by an insufficient water pressure and the extreme high wind, prevented the spread of the flames to resident property in the path of the wind. A Specific Against Colds. The nearest thing to a specific against colds is a sleeping porch or open bed room and a cold sponge bath every morning when you first get up. Even then you will occasionally take a cold, especially when colds are epidemic, and when you do you will find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a great help in enabling you to get rid of it. Try it. Obtainable everywhere. Clear Golden Wins Honors. It gives The Frontier much pleasure to again record the success of one of our young men born and raised in O’Neill, Mr. Clear G. Golden, modest, unassuming, Clear was one of the thirty-eight members of the 1916 graduating class of the Nebraska State University awarded Phi Beta Kappa honors. This honor is much sought and appreciated by the students as it is earned by proficiency in their class work and examinations during their full course and not by any one accidental or spectacular ex amination. All who receive the honor unquestionably merit it. The recipients this year had a general average for the four year course of 92.7 per cent. It is strictly an honorary fraternity and in its membership are some of the brightest men and women of America. Chief Justice John Marshall was one of its founders more than a century ago. Only the students of the highest grade universities are eligible. In this fraternity, wealth, standing in society, creed, race or color have no weight. Are you a student and scholar are the determining factors. The Frontier inquired of Clear the secret of his success. His reply was: “There is no secret, and all students know that work, peristent, inde fatigible work, is the foundation and corner stone upon which this fra ternity rests.” O’Neill is very proud of the many young men raised here who have made extraordinary success in pro fessional and business life, who have acquired reputation and wealth in many fields of action, and now comes Clear Golden, a lad of twenty, and brings home to O’Neill the highest evidence of scholarship attainable in the University. Pardon The Frontier if it feels a little bit proud of its young folks. Gleanings. L. A. Simonson made a business call to the Hatch home on the 23rd. While there he informed ye scribe of a good way to put in alfalfa, which is as follows: Plow your ground that you wish to sow to alfalfa early in the spring and cheek in corn thereon, and when you lay by your corn, sow alfalfa between the rows with a one horse alfalfa drill, then cultivate very shallow. There is much to recommend that system in so much as the corn will shde the ground so the weeds will not grow and choke out the young plants and the stalks will protect the alfalfa from the hot blistering sun in fate summer and will hold the snow in the winter time, so there would be no danger of the alfalfa getting winter killed. There are many though who DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? A good many people think the world owes them a liv ing. It doesn’t. The man who thinks the world owes him a living will probably find it in the almhouse. That’s not the living you are looking for. It’s a living composed of the good things of life—a home of your own —a place free and clear. By putting every dollar you pos sibly can into this Bank you will get the living you are after. If you don’t pile up money here what has the future in store for you ? God sends every bird its food, but he does not throw it into the nest.—Spurgeon.

NEBRASKA. have no seed to sow this year and as the seed is pretty high they will no doubt wait until they can raise some. C. T. Simonson and daughter, Car roll, was pleasant callers at the Hatch home on the 19th. Good Friday comes late this year, so don’t wait till then to plant your early potatoes, get them in early. F. A. Hatch made a business call on W. S. Roberts on the 24th. In regard to the proposition of bond ing the county for the purpose of rais ing revenue to put bridges on streams in Holt county whereever they are needed. Ye scribe looked on the proposition with favor until he read the aritcle in a recent edition of The Frontier by John Robertson on the subject, then our views underwent a change. Also a statement in the same issue of The Frontier by the county board of supervisors in which they said that it would not increase taxes, and that also made us leary about the matter. Why, those bonds must be a very unusual kind of bonds if they can raise the necessary reve nue for purposes desired without ad ding to the burden of the tax payers. It is inconceivable that results could be secured if the interest was kept up and portions of the principal from time to time as provided in the proposition to be voted on in this county on the 18th of April. To us, it looks like a joke in which the prties who bought the bonds wrould be the * only ones to laugh at it, unless perhaps the county board should get 5 a little laughing material out of it too. | Incidentally the 18th of April is pri- I mary day, too, and every voter should come to the polls and vote for the candidate of their choice. Let that matter go until the fall election and you would have no other recourse than to vote for the candidate of the other fellows choice. To The Voters of Holt County: The County Board will be in session April 5th, and would be glad to have representatives from all parts of the county to meet with the board and discuss the conditions which caused the board to submit the bond issue.

Around the stove of the cross roads grocery is the real court of last re sort, for it finally over-rules all others. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been brought before this court in al most every cross roads grocery in this country, and has always received a favorable verdict. It is in the country where man expects to receive full value for his money that this remedy is most appreciated. Obtainable everywhere. 38-5 Jordan’s Store News. I have been so busy making a living I the last few weeks that I havn’t had | time to write an ad. I am mighty . hungry for a little more of your business so thought I had better tell you of a few of the good things I have for sale. I have just added a full line of Ford repairs and parts and of course the price is right. If you are going to need a steel tank come and see my double strap ‘ seam tanks. They are so different. I have got so darned many new things that I havn’t got time to tell you about them here—come in and look things over. You wouldn’t think there was a war j in Europe when you price our goods. We havn’t raised our prices yet. WHO— 1 JORDAN OF COURSE. c _ c The City Election. Although the city election is but a few days away there does not seem to be much interest manifested therein. Mayor Dishner and J. P. Gallagher are candidates for mayor. Neither s candidate is making very serious efforts to land the place, being content to let their friends do the scrapping. Mayor Dishner is a candidate for re-election upon the record he has made during the past i year and his friends predict that he will * be unbeatable at the polls. On the other hand Mr. Gallagher has many 1 friends who are active in his support and predictions are made that the contest will be a warm one. In the First ward Councilman Ryan is a candidate for re-election and is J opposed by Dennis Criss. In the Second ward Councilman Mullen is unopposed for re-election as is also Councilman Davis in the Third ward. J. F. Gallagher is unopposed for city treasurer and Herb Hammond for city clerk.

The progress made uring the past year, as shown by the eports of the various departments, xceeded the most sanguine expecta ion of the pastor and officers. Under he able leadership of Rev. Longstaff, /ho is closing his Fourth year here s pastor, the church has just closed he most successful year in its history, 'he reports show a large increase in lembership and a corresponding in rease in adherents. The interest lanifested by the members and con gregation in the various activities of he church, and the universal feeling f cordial good fellowship has been so larked that it is a topic much dis ussed by all. With this splendid con ition in the spiritual and social side f the congregation, it follows, of ourse, that the financial condition is qually splendid.
