advantage of retaining the milk for use

ery nothing but the cream to handle.
The weather report shows that the
rainfall in this section during the month

years during a corresponding month.
The rainfall has been something like 3
inches, and the prospects are that it will

fall at this season is something unusual,
as most of our rains usually come in
April. The outlook is very encouraging
for plenty of moisture this senson.
The Fremont Tribune thus speaks of
a former O’Neill citizen in writing up a
musical entertainment at the normal:
“Although Mr. Schubert has delighted
many hearers in this city before, it was
the best opportunity yet given for Fre
mont people to judge of his ability. He
lias both power and delicacy in his
touch and slights no passages in the
music he plays. The underlying
thought of the composer is brought
home to his hearers in more than a
vague form during his renditions.”
One of the dealers in carriages and
buggies in O’Neill has sold a car lohd of
them to the farmers of the surrounding
country this past winter, and received
the cash for everyone of them to. and
yet there are people who are crying
“hard times.”

N. B. Bisbee died at his homo three

tics. In 1888 he represented the county
in the lower branch of the legislature.
The funeral occurs today at Chambers.
A meeting was lield last evening to

garding the celebration will be taken
until the soliciting committee makes its
report, which will be tomorrow or Sat
urday evening.
We understand that O’Neill is to
have a base ball team in tbe near future.
Now, ordinarily, we are heartily in
favor of anything of that sort, but in
this instance we are not, and for very
good reasons In the first place the
boys havn’t time to enter the league
games, and, as u matter of fact, we are
afraid they would be a little weak any
way; and outside of the lengue teams
we don’t know of a nine that could fur
nish them even common amusement, so,
as we said before, we don’t see the use
of organizing.
Monday evening G. W. Smith, of the
Short Line, and Tom Hopkins did a
little detective work, but it did not turn
out like the case last week. Some boys
who were playing in the Short Line
stock yards found a number of revol
vers hid under a board in the sheds.
They informed Mr. Smith, who, with
Mr. Hopkins, went to the stock yards to
investigate further. They did not find
the revolvers, but there was a young
man in the yards with a grip in his
hand who apparently wished to avoid
visitors. The chap said he had come
from the west, but djdn’t seem inclined
to give much information regarding his
suspicious apparence, and soon left the
stock yards. Messrs. Smith and Hop
kins endeavored to keep track of him,
and sent one of the boys nfter tbe mar
shal, but no marshal came, and down
about Byron Parker’s place the chap
evaded his pursuers and got away, lie
had drawn a gun on them once oi twice
as they would approach too close. Mr.
Smith has a handful of peutiies which
he found :u the stock yards, and Cliff
Davis a pair ot gold bowed spectacles
found at the same place. The chap had
quite a stock of merchandise and shoot
ing irons about him.
The city council met in regular ses
sion Monday evening with all members

After roll call the minutes of two pre
vious meetings were read and approved.
Keport of committee on order, of busi
ness was read and adopted.. The nom

The Frontier’s attention is called to
the sanitary condition of the city, and
the matter is of sufficient importance to
need attention. It is a fact that there
are disease breeding conditions existing
in different parts of the city that should
be removed. The accumulated filth in
the alley west of Fourth and south of
Douglas streets and back of the build
ings sends up a bad odorin warm wea
ther, m dangerous to health and should
be removed. Filthy old outbuildings
and stables in other parts of town have
not been cleaned up for years, and are a
public nuisance. All these things con
tribute to bad health. Another impor
tant matter that should be attended to
before the summer heat comes is the
wells. Every summer typhoid feyer
breaks out and much sickness and some
deaths result. Physicians say it is duo
to nothing but bad water. If the wells
are cleaned and the water kept pure
fevers may be avoided. It is every
body’s duty to thoroughly clean up
their places at least once a year, and
while many of our citizens have done so
still there is much tilth yet that should
bo moved.-*

Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plan abed so that when a fav
orable opportunity presents (itself he is
ready to take advantage of it. A little
forethought will also save much expense
and valuable time. A prudent and careful
man will keep a bottle of Chamberlans*
