Harry Ullley came up from Omaha
Sunday evening for a week’s visit.
Ed Orady returned Tuesday night
from a visit to his parents at Waterlao,

The supervisors are in session to
eqiiilize taxes. They meet again
in July in regular session, and
again in August to redistrict the
county and draw lots for situations, at
which time there will be several states*
men out of jobs.
Bassett Eagle: The meeting at Stuart
in regard to the irrigation district
showed that the people of Holt county
are alive to the interest of this part of
the state, and that our friend T. V.
Golden has lost none of his old time
enthusiasm for irrigation.
Gordon Journal: The value of per
sistent advertising is well illustrated by
the recent pftyer of a UHle girl in Ohio.
Among otker childish requests to the
throne of grace she added: "And Oh
Lord! make me good and pure: absolute
ly pure—like baking powder.”
Some gentleman who evidently spoke
by the card once remarked: "A receipt
for bills due is better than so much cash
—it has paid a debt and has made your
reputation and credit better; good in
terest on the investment.” We feel this
way in regard to a number of our de
linquents. A receipted bill in their in
side pocket would undoubtedly make
them feel happier and as for us—don’t
mention it.
A majority or the stock or tlie iSlk
horn Irrigation Company has recently
changed hands. F. W. Widner and R.
H. Wifley, of Corning. Iowa, having
purchased the same. The new men will
no doubt, in connection with the re
maining stockholders, endeavor to make
the canal a benefit to the county. We
are promised soon full information as to
their plans, which we will give our
readers. _
Billie McBride was practicing athlet
ics at his home last Sunday morning.
One of the feats he attempted to per
form was to spring from his back to his
feet. When he laid down he over
looked the fact that his head was under
the bed and when he made bis cat-like
spring his head struck the bed railing
and the room was immediately a grand
conservatory of stars and other like
brilliunt things. The atmosphere at
once turned a vivid ethereal blue. Dr.
Furay drew the skin in place between
tbe eyes and stitched a couple of times.
Ewing Advocate: Farmer Trommer
shausser after planting several varieties
of hens’ eggs to raise a crop ot spring
chickens, undertook to milk the cows
and in order to have a nice, quiet place,
for the eztarction of the bovine fluid, he
proceeded in his usual mild manner, to
drive the ccws under a shed, but owing
to his meatal elevation of self, his
cranium was lifted about six inches
higher than the innocent end of a rafter
which, coming in contact with hie noble
brow, called fifl* a pause in his onward
career. The effect was a condemnation
of all things terrestrial, in the language
and manner generally used on occasions
of the kind. And the rafter was raised.
The Nebraska Editor: The editor of
the O’Neill Frontier believed that he
was in danger of being lynched, because
of the courageous course he has taken
through the troublous times recently
experience# there, and ha sat down and
wrote an editorial that was a gem of
purest fay serene. He deprecated mob
violence, as a moralist, and counseled
peace, as,an editor: if the lynching had
to occur, he would take his medicine
gracefully, and would appoint a com
mittee to see that his grave was kept
green. The editor still walks the earth
unharmed, and it is not likely that he
will ever use a rope as a necktie. O’Neill
couldn’t get along very well without
him.
Rev. J. M. Bates will bold Episcopal

Diamond Dick’s Wild Woat abow,
which gave two performances in O'Neill
last Saturday, drew a good audience
each time. The object of the manage
ment is to depict incidents of frontlet
life, and their imitation of border scenes
are not at all bad. In the aggregation
are a number of good rough riders, and
this is the best feature of the show.
They are professionals and not afraid to
mount the most fiery untamed broncho
that roams the plains. This was demon
strated here, Ben Deyarman has a
horse that has not a trace of kindness or
humility about its make-up and he led it
into the arena for the boys to ride. A
rider by the name of Gumphrey was
chosen to werform the task. He suc
ceeded, but he was not present at the
evening exhibition. He first mounted
the horse and then the horse mounted
him. This act was repeated. The first
time the animal went over backwards
he escaped unhurt and got up with it,
but the second time his spurs became
entangled in the straps and he could not
extricate himself. The horse came
squarely back upon him and it seemed
that the horn of the saddle must surely
have run him through, but hia comrades
came to the rescue and sat upon the ani
mal’s head while he unravelled himself.
Although injured he was game and when
the horse was again on its feet ha was
in the saddle. Then the baaf bsflao to
play. That horse got a bicycle hump on
its back and pounded the earth hard and
often but had to give it up. The rider
was visited by both Dr. Furay and Dr.
Trueblood and was able to follow the
company Sunday. In the evening a
Mexican, whose name we did not ie^rn,
rode the same horse. This time the
horse did not throw itself but was con
tent to show a fine line of hard bucking
which was enjoyed by the spectators
and rider. Although most of O’Neill’s
people have witnessed many as good ex
hibitions right on the streets, in early
days, they liked the show. It called to
their minds incidents of the long ago
when Doc Middleton, John Smoot and
numerous other cowboys made this their
headquarters and gave entertainments
that were blood-curdling to witness but
pleasant to think of and look back to
through a maze of years which have
worn off the rough corners and made
the early scenes fireside reminiscences.
Diamond Dick will take well when he
reaches the east.

UMILIJIUSK’B DAY.
Children’s day exercises which oc
curred last Sabbath evening in the Pres
byterian church, were superior to any
of like character held in this church for
some time. The audience that witness
ed the exercises was large, filling the
church to its utmost capacity. The
church was artistically decorated with
wreaths and floral arrangements present
ing a beautiful appearance. The pulpit
was adorned and beautified with flowers
and over the steps at either side of the
pulpit was an arch-.erected carefully, and
elegantly draped with nature’s green
from meadow and grove, and the re
flection of the light from the white
dresses and beaming faces of the girls
about the floral enrivonments of the
rostrum presented a scene appreciated
by all who love to look upon the true,
the beautiful, and the good.
The entertainment was interesting
throughout, as everyone did their part
well. Special mention might be made
of the manner in which the littile ones
performed their part, which shows that
they can do something for the upbuild
ing of Zion. The good that results
from a penny given to benevolent work
was brought out by an exercise of Mrs.
Dobbs’class entitled: "What a Penny
Teaches.” The exercise, “Call of the
Queen,” by Mrs. Evans’ class was very
fine. The young ladies made a fine
appearance and rendered their parts
well. At the close of the exercise they
passed through the audience distribut
ing flowers. The singing and speaking
alternately, by the members of Mrs,
Lowrie’s class, was good, although one
or two got-their parts a little mixed, but
that only added to the attractiveness of
the exercise. Those who took part in
dependently of the classes were: May
King, "A Penny Address.” Recitations:
Bessie Jones, Lucile Meredith, Andie
Potter, Susie Gillespie, Will Orcutt,
Martha Cress, Ruth Evans, Lettie Gilles
pie, Fannie Scott and Bessie DeYarman.
Closing address; somr, Martha Cress.
The singing managed by Mrs. Hazelet
was up to the standard. The collection
taken to be sent to the Sabbath School
board, amounted to $4.29. We expect
to make this amount $3.00 when the
pyramids distributed are all collected.

NSW SCHOOL LAWS.
From the many measure* concerning
ihe ichnoU, which had their day before
the state legislature, the following two
>t three became laws already operative
i>r soon to be so. School officers should
note them carefully: House roll No. "
383, relating to changes In the district
boundaries materially increases the
county superintendent's power In certain
special cases. The same goes Into -
Bffect August 1. 1895. House roll No. t ’
388 provide* for free attendance at pub*
lie high schools, and is by tar the most
Important school measure acted upon by
the legislature. It piovldes that all
public high schools In the state shall
hereafter be open to attendance by any 1
person of school age, whose education'
can not profitably be carried further In
the public school of the district of hi*
residence. About the 1st of June the
state superintendent, assisted by county
superintondants in their respective
counties, will take the proper steps to
determine what schools of each county
itro pruperiy equipped u to teacners,
appliances, and course of study to en
title them to be classed as high schools.
L’uplls In order to be eligible and qaali
tled for admission must have a certlfl
:ate, signed by the county superintend
ing certifying tbat the common school
course prescribed by the state depart
ment of education, bas been eompleted.
rhe act further provides that pupils
(ball attend at the nearest high school,
md that when any such school shall be ?■
unable to furnish accommodations to
non-residents without constructing or \ ?
renting additional buildings, the school
board may refuse admission to such
pupils. The school boards of districts
baying high schools shall, at the close
nf each school year, report to the county
board the number of pupils attending
luch schools, and the length of time of
attendance of each pupil in weeks, aud
the county board shall, at their first
regular meeting after the filing of such
reports, allow such district fifty cents a
week for each pupil reported, and order
a warrant drawn on the school fund set
apart for that purpose, in favor of such
school ■ boards. A greater sum than,
fifty cents per week for each pupil may
be allowed when it can be shown that
the actual cost is more than tbat
amount. The expenses contemplated
by this act are to be met by a tax not to
exceed one mill on the dollar of the
assessed valuation of the proceeding
year, levied annually by the county
board. School districts maintaining'
these high schools, according to the act,
are exempt from this levy. House roll
No. 15 repeals and supercedes the
special attendance act of 1898, and pro
vides that children living more thau one
and one-half miles from the school
house of their own district and one-half
mug ssvmscs. iu luv oguuuriyjuoo iu nu
adjoining district, may attend school in
the adjoining district providing the re
quired notice is given by the parent or
guardian. In such cases all taxes for
Bcbool purposes, except for the payment
of existing bonds or interest on the
same, for the year next ensuing shall be
placed to the credit of the adjoining
district instead of the district of their
residence,'and such school taxation shall
be based upon' the levy mad in the ad
joining district. Parents and guardians
wishing to send to adjoining districts
must attend to it at or before the annual
meeting, notifying the county superin
tendent and the directors of the districts
concerned. This act became operative
April 8. House roll No. 81 provides
that all school district warrants properly
issued and refused payment for the want
of funds, shall bear interest at seven
per cent, from the date of presentation.
House roll No. 217 provides for the reg
istration and payment of all warrants in
the order of their issuance.—North Ne
