but finally left her to pursue the even
tenor of her way, chasing the clown
through the flying ladder.

William Fallon, died at a little past
9 o’clock this morning of appendicitis,
after an illness of about two weeks.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o’clock at the Catholic
church. The death of Johnnie is a
severe blow to his parents and relationes.
He was in the bloom of health and
joung manhood until two weeks ago,
when he was suddenly taken sick and
the dreadful disease did its work quick.
He was a student at the high school and
a general favorite among the |young
people of the town.
James D. Gray is the name of the man
found dead near Bager Mills last
Wednesday, upon whose remains Cor
oner Kline was summonsed to hold an
inquest, m ention, of which was made
in last week’s Frontier. The verdiet of
the coroner’s jury was to the effect that
deceased died of heart disease. He was
a brother of G. P. Gray. The Gray
family and other people in the neighbor
hood went out to fight a prairie fire and
J.D. was supposed to follow with a plow
for the same purpose, but did not join
the fire-fighting party, and when they
returned home he was found dead.
The new city council met Tuesday
evening with all the officials present.
The first business taken up was the
appointment of officers. Last year’s
officers were all re-appointed and by
unanimous voteconfirmed by the council.
C. E. Hall is retained ap street aud
water commissioner and city marshal,
William Gordon weighmaster and John
Horriskey nightwatch. The saloon
occupation tax was raised to $700, pay
able quarterly. With the state license
of $500 saloons are assessed $1,200 a
year each. It was determined to issue
no druggist’s peraits durning this year.
The bonds of O’Connor & Co., William
Laviollelte and T, J. Hurley were ap
proved and licenses ordered issued.
Further action was taken toward repair
ing sidewalks and the council voted to
hire a man to work on same until all
have been put in good condition. It i6
the intention of the administration to
push the collection of city taxes. A com
mendable work was done the past year
toward putting the city on a better
financial footing and the good work
will be continued. Besides paying
cash for its work and supplies last year,
something like $1,800 indebtedness was
paid off. With no more warrants piling
up and the outstanding ones being call
ed in it will not take long to get the
city out of the bad shape into which it
had fallen.
Thursday aftersoon while our battle
engine waa running the big power press
at maximum speed, a gear wheel vent in

explosion of a powder mill. The press,
of course, stopped; and The Frontier

Only through the courtesy of Hr. lives,
who generously permits us to use the
Independent press, are we able lo print
our papers Friday.
It is a good many years since there
was the activity in O’Neill tbatethe city
takes on this spring in the way of im
provements.. There are a score or more
carpenters hammering about town and
the demand for workmen is greater than
the supply. As vet, improvements are
confined largely to the resident portions
and are notinolicable tostrangers visiting
the city. The homes of O’Neill are
being put in shape lo compare favorably
with those of any town in the state,
but many of our public buildings are in
a very shabby condition. With the
same attention to the business part of
town that other sections are receiving
it will present a very different appear
ance. Stand up for O’Neill.
