We Have Always Wanted To
Handle the BEST Manure
Spreader—And We’ve Got It.
As all our friends know, we have been engaged
3 in the farm implement business right here for a long
time. We’ve made it a rule to handle only thor
| oughly reliable goods. No matter how tempting
a maker’s proposition is, we leave it alone, unless
; ■ we are convinced that the article will be of real
value to our customers.
Now please keep this rule of ours in mind and
then come in and see the
I Manure, Spreader
The fact that we have
this machine set up, ready
[ to demonstrate, shows
that we believe there isn’t
—I a better spreader made.
If there had bden we
would have found it.
“Nisco" is the original wide
spreading spreader. Built
to spread outside its own
wheel track when other
machines merely dumped
manure behind. Low down
and light draft, easy to load,
easy on a team. * Its chain
conveyor brings every
scrap of manure to the two
cylinders where it is thor
oughly pulverized and
thrown onto swiftly re

I First Wide-Spreading Machine Ever Built. distribute it in even width I
and depth across three corn rows. This makes driving over spread |
manure unnecessary. H
The Nisco Spreader can’t clog and spreads at will, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, |
18 loads per acre. It has a chain drive—no gears to break or strip from I
cold or under sudden strain. Wide tires fit the “Nisco” for use on soft I
soil. The Nisco Spreader is thoroughly well built of exceptionally stiff H
and sturdy materials, and the makers cheerfully guarantee it for a year |
against breakage from any cause. With proper care it will last a lifetime.
Now here is a machine that will give you dollar for dollar on a moder- I
ate investment in one year’s time; because if used regularly it will absolutely ta
save the full fertility value of manure and put it on the soil in such condi- I.
tion that growing plants can get it all. . f
The Nisco Spreader will save you money. Come in and see it next
time you’re in town. You’ll be interested.

befef James Harrington, brother of M.
F. and John, on the Fourth. Jim was
riding in a race on the fair grounds
and his horse became unmanagable,
running into the barbed wire fence,
surrounding the grounds, and Jim’s
right leg, above the knee was badly
lacerated, the flesh being cut to the
bone. The wildest excitement pre
vailed for some time and everybody
thought he was killed, but such was
not the case. He was brought to their
home in town as soon as possible and
Drs. Shore and Connolly called, who
dressed the wound, cut out considerable
of the Iactrated flesh and took twelve
stitches in sewing up the wound. It
was a narrow escape and all was glad
it was no worse and hope to soon see
James around as of yore.
Taken from the files of The Frontier
of July 14, 1887:
J. M. JMcDonough, for many years
editor of the Tribune, is now business
mana'ger of the Omaha World-Herald.
James Harrington is getting along
very nicely and expects to be out in a
few weeks.
A good rain Monday .night makes all
nature look happy and the farmers
greatly encouraged.
Arrangements are being perfected
for the erection of a brick Jjlock 40x90

same to be done by W. G. Palmenteer
and A. U. Morris and Co. The build
ing will be two stories high, two rooms
below and numerous offices upstairs.

from Omaha, where he attended a con
vention of the Nebraska State League
of Republican clubs.
A. T. Potter returned from Glendive,
Mont., Tuesday evening. Mr. Potter

Donald McLean arrived in this city
yesterday evening and returned to
Sioux City this morning. Mr. McLean
said he had nothing new in connection
with his new railroad project to di
vulge at this time, further than to say
that the enterprise was progressing
through the preliminary stages as
rapidly as could possibly be expected.
At the annual school meeting, held
last Monday, Patrick Hagerty, A. J.

TufctSn from the files of The Frontier

Charles Reka, who has been attend
ing school in Omaha the past year, re

mer, vacation.
J. F. O’Donnell and H. P. Dowling

buggy of the latest style and make.
O’Neill bankers are undoubtedly pros
pering as another banker, Ed. F. Gal
lagher, now spins about in a handsome

The National Amusement Co.
opened a five day street carnival last
Tuesday. One of the most striking
acts put on by the company is
“Valjean” who makes a daring dive
from the top of a sixty foot ladder
into a tank of four and a half feet of
water. It is something new to an
O’Neill crowd and the daring diver is
watched with bated breath as he
plunges through the air into the water
and comes out safely.
In a bail game on the local diamond
last Sunday O’Neill defeated Ewing
by a score of 19 to 3. Hugh Coyne
trirled the game for O’Neill fanning

“COMMAND OF DEATH" IS
WOMAN REGIMENT
Petrogard—The “Command of
Death,” is the official title of the wo
men’s regiment raised by the twice
wounded girl officer, Vera Buitcliaroff.
The regiment will leave in a fortnight
for the front, probably for the Minsk
sector.
The Associated press correspondent,
who visited the barracks in Torgvaya
street found posted at the gate, a little
blue eyed sentry in a soldier’s khaki
blouse, short breeches, green forage
cap, ordinary woman’s black ^stockings
and neat shoes. The sentry was
Marya Skryldoff, daughter of Admiral
Skrydloff, former commander of the
Baltic fleet and minister of marine.
Inside there were four large dormi
tories, ilia beds without bedding and
3trow.. with heavy soldiers’ overcoats.
In the court yard 300 girls were at
drill, mostly between 18 and 25 years
of age, of godd physique and many of
them pretty. They wore their hair
short, or had their heads entirely
shaved. They were drilling under the
instruction of a male sergeant of the
Volynsky regiment and marched to an
exaggerated goose step.
Commander Lieutennant Buitchka
reff explained that most of the recruits
were from the higher educational
academies or secondary schools, with a
few peasants, factory girls and serv
ants. Some married women were ac
cepted but none had children. The
girl commander said:
“We apply the rigid system of dis
cipline of the pre-revolutionary army,
rejecting the new principle of soldier
self-government. Having no time to
inure the girl ^graduate to hardships
we impose a spartan regime from the
first. They sleep on boards without
bedclothes, thus immediately eliminat
ing the weak. The smallest breach of
discipline is punished by expulsion in
disgrace.
“The ordinary soldier’s food is fur
nished by the guards’ equipage corps.
We rise at 4 and drill daily from 7 to
11 and again from 1 to 6. The girls
carry the cavalry carbine which is five
pounds lighter than the regular army
rifle. On our first parade I requested
any girl whose motives were frivolous
to step out. Only one did so but later
many who were unable to stand the
privations left us.
“We are fully official and are al
ready entered on the list of regiments.
