President Wilson has spoken an
other “final” word to the Mexicans.
Among the many definitions given by
Webster for “final” is “last”, and for
last, "being! after all the others.’’
This is probably what the president
means. As the late Peter Mortensen
used to say, when as state treasurer
he was a member of the state board
of assessment, “tentatively final.”

’ Thousands will suffer in Chicago
this winter who have not suffered
heretofore because of a new kink in
the increased cost of living. The cost
of producing beer has increased and
as a result the Chicago bars have
decreased the size of the five-cent
glass of beer one-third. It is such
trampling upon the alrteady down
trodden people that eventually brings
about revolution, anarchy and blood
shed.

Do you know that Holt county fur
nishes sustenance to practically all
countries of the civilized world, and
perhaps to some that are not civil
ized. Well, it does. Holt county
furnishes the hay that is fed at the
stockyards of South Omaha and Sioux
City. It is supplied to these yards
by Ryan & Froelich, hay dealers of
O’Neill. This hay is fed to the live
stock constantly pouring into these
great markets, the packers convert
the live stock into food and other
products, which are shipped all over
the world, and there you are.

The Adamson eight-hour law, pass
ed by congress during the late cam
paign at the behest of the president,
was held unconstitutional by Judge
William C. Hook of the United States
district court, at Kansas City, Mo.,
Wednesday. The decision was expe
dited at the request of both the attor
neys for the government and the Mis
souri, Oklohoma and Gulf railroad,
which was seeking an injunction to
prevent enforcement of the act. The
action in reality is to test its con
stitutionality, and the expedited lower
court decision is to bring it to the
soon as possible. Judge Hook’s de
cision, that the act is unconstitutional,
places the expense and burden of the
appeal on the government.

Six hundred packages containing
the ashes of Joseph Hillstrom have
been distributed by the Industruial
Workers of the World to the local
chanters of the order over the country
to be scattered by them. Hillstrom,
who was prominentintheorganization,
was convicted of murder in Utah, and
choose shooting instead of hanging as
the method of receiving the death pen
alty, which is perjnissable under the
laws of that state. His body was
cremated and his ashes are being dis
tributed according to his expressed
wish, he evidently desiring to pose
as a martyr. Joe probably will have
a little trouble getting himself to
gether judgment day.

Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Hungary died Tuesday night in Vienna
of ailments from which he has been
a sufferer for some time and which
were aggravated by the worries in
cident to the great war. The present
conflict was precipitated by the assas
ination of Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand, heir to his throne. Archduke
Charles Francis, his grand nephew,
will succeed to the throne of the dual
empire. Emperor Francis Joseph was
86 years of age at the time of his
death and had reigned almost 68
years, the longest reign of which
there is any authentic record in the
history of civilization. His reign was
one of sadness and romance, outclass
ing in these respects the best fiction of
the most talented authors. The map
of Europe changed several times while
he sat upon the throne, and some of
the most noted rulers and characters
of history blazed forth and were ex
tinguished during that time. He was
a truly great man.
-o
Now that Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria-llungai j is dead.JohnOrth
will be discovered to be alive and a
resident of Denver, Wichita, Gary,
Ind., and perhaps O’Neill, by the enter
prising newspaper correspondents.
He in times past has been discovered
in all of the places, with the excep
tion of the last named, by the Sun
day newspapers. John Orth was the
name lassumed by Archduke John,
nephew of the Emperor, who became
heir to the throne when the emperor’s
only son, Crown Prince Rudolph, died
a mysterious and violent death near
Vienna in 1889. The archduke fell
in love with one beneath his station
and rather than give her up renounced
his claims to the throne and as a mem
ber of the royal family and with his
bride sailed away to the west as
captain of a merchant vessel. He
never again was heard from, but is
supposed to have come to the United
States and begun life anew as John
Orth, mechanic or farmer. He may
be alive today and perhaps your
neighbor. During several crisis of
the empire and severe illnesses of
the emperor he sought, and yel
low journals claimed to have dis
covered him at the several towns
named. The most important and per
haps authentic of these “discoveries”
occurred ten or twelve years ago,
when the empeur was supposed to

be upon his death bed. At that time
a correspondent discovered in a steel
manufacuring suburb near Chicago a
John Orth, mechanic, who answered
to the [physical description of the
missing archduke. He was working
in the steel mills and with his wife
and several children occupied a small
cottage in the little manufacturing
town. The story attracted the atten
tion of the Austrian diplomats and
secre service agents and they inves
tigated and tried to interview the man.
He was uncommunicative and reticent,
and the seekers for the archduke were
baffled, although declaring their belief
that he was the long lost one. After
ward the mechanic quit the steel mills
and disappeared.

Why can you pay off that Building

placing it with States Savings and
Loan Association? Because you pay
less interest and receive more credit
on principal each month as compared
with others. Better investigate. L. G.

ed Ben Lefler to the scene.
Mrs. Heresel, who had been cooking
at the grading camp of Hy. Nighten
gale near O’Neill, and at which her
husband was employed, went to Atkin
son Thursday evening on the early
evening passenger. Steger and Lefler
were lounging around the Atkinson
station when she alighted from the
train. Mrs. Heresel started west,
up the railroad track, toward her
residence, and Stege followed her.
Several hundred yards from the depot
he attacked her and attempted to
stifle her screams by placing his hand
over her mouth. Lefler, however,
heard the woman scream and ran to
her assistance. Stege fled. Friday
Lefler was questioned by the author
ities, having been seen around the
depot with Stege, and identified Stege
as Mrs. Heresel’s assailant. Stege,
who is married and has a family, was
arrested and brought to O’Neill by
Sheriff Grady Friday evening.
Double Wedding.
A very pretty double wedding was
solemnized at the Catholic church in
this city last Tuesday morning when
Rev. Father Giblin pronounced the
words that united in the bonds of
matrimony Walter Stein and Miss
Zeffa Ziemer of this city and Oscar
Gifford Marcotte, of Marshall, Minn.,
and Miss Zella Ziemer of this city, in
the presence of a large number of the
immediate relatives and friends of the
contracting parties.
After the wedding ceremony the
bridal couples, accompanied by a few
friends, partook of a splendid wedding
breakfast at the Golden hotel, after
which they left in an auto for a short
wedding trip and a visit with friends
in the eastern part of the state.
Walter Stein is one of O’Neill’s
prominent young business men and
has a host of friends in this city and
county. Mr. Marcotte is not very well
known in this city, but is young busi
ness man of the Minnesota town and
is very highly spoken of by those who
know him.
The brides, who have been known
for years as the Ziemer twins, are two
of O’Neill’s most charming young
ladies, having grown to womanhood
in this city and are known and ad
mired by a large circle of friends and
acquaintances. They are sweet and
winsome young ladies and will make
splendid helpmates for the young men
whom they have honored with their
hand.
The Frontier joins the many friends
of these happy young people in wish
ing them many years of happiness
and bliss.

CASH OR CREDIT
One of the tendencies of the age is the
desire of people to live beyond their means—
to make credit take the place of cash—to have
debts rather that a balance in bank. Credit
has ruined thousands. A Bank Account has
never ruined any one. You can always get
credit when you have a Bank Account. You ~
cannot always get credit without one. Why "
not begin your account here? Debts or
Dollars—you can accumulate either. Which
in the years to come will give you the most
satisfaction? I
I have no credit anywhere.
How should I? I have never
stooped to the means of ac
quiring it.—Horace Walpole.
