I hereby announce my candidacy for
the nomination for County Attorney
i on the Republican and Progressive
! tickets subject to the choice of the
< electors of said parties at the primary
election to be held on April 18, 1916.
In 1879 at the age of two years,
f with my father, Hiram Hodgkin, and
mother and sisters, I came from Min
! nesota to this, Holt County, and in
j common with the children of those
i pioneer days was reared and schooled
in Paddock Township, this County.
My preliminary education was com
| Dieted in the Lincoln Academy of
I Lincoln, Nebraska. From there it
I was continued in the University of
Nebraska and from its Law College I
as graduated in 1011.
I immediately began the active
ractice of Law in this my home
uinty and 1 have now served the
eople of this county as county at
irney for three years. During this
■rm of office 1 have tried many
•iminal cases in all the courts of the
unity, have given advice to county
fleers and briefed and argued a
umber of cases before our Supreme

The experience thus gained hes in
very large measure contributed to
re benefit of the county, for I con
ider that I am now much better
ualified to serve the County in the
jpaeity of county attorney than I was
t the beginning of my term of office
r that another, without this ex

Fire, attributed by the owners of

nule the property of Hans Peterson,

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

That’s not the living you are

C. T. Simonson and daughter, Car
roll, was pleasant callers at the Hatch
home on the 19th.
Good Friday comes late this year,

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.

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.

f this week. 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. The reports show
hat $2500.00 was contributed during
he year with which to carry on the
