that Judge Kinkaid, therefore expects
to remain actively in the practice of
law until his services at Washington
shall commence, about one year hence.
Of course much of his time will be re
quired looking after district matters
while here at home, before going to
Washington, in fact such work is al
ready consuming a good deal of the
Judge's time, but he takes hold of the
business like an old timer and his
efficiency in handling matters pertain

preciated by the residents who in the
past have had to depend upon outside
congressmen to look after their in
terests.

Official Proceedings.
O'Neill Neb. Nov 10, 19U2:
Hoard of Supervisors meet at 11
o’clock a. in.
Present. Messrs Grimes, Howard,
Keefe. Kramer, Moler, Phillips and
Marsh.
Minutes of the session of September
20 read and approved. On motion ad
journed until one o’clock p. m.
One o’clock p. m. Hoard called to
order. All members present. On
motion tne County attorney was al
lowed a stenographer for the months
of November and December.
The following opinion of the county
attorney was read in answer to ques
tions submitted to him by the board
September 20.
O’Neill, Neb. Oct l(i 1902.
To the Honorable Hoard of Super
visors.
Gentlemen—Just at the close of your
hist session you submited the follow
ing questions, asking for my legal
opinion.
1st.—Amont of money that the
county treasurer can deposit in Hie
various banks of the county which
have been designated as county de
positories, bothas to theircaptalstock
and amount of bonds approved.
2nd.—Whether this law has been
during this year and is now being
complied with.
3rd.—Is or is it not the duty of the
county board to take such action as
maybe necessary to compel the coun
ty treasurer to comply with depository
law in regard to depositing money
coming into his hands by virtue of
his office.
4. -If it is tlie duty of tlie county
board to take such action and they
fail to do so could tliev be held on
their official bonds for any loss oceur
ing by reason of such failure to act.
1 have investigated these questions
at some length. I fined that Sec. 20 of
chapter 18 of tlie compiled statutes of
1901, provides that the county trea
sure shall not have on deposit in any
bank at any time more than one-half
of the amount of I lie bank bond and
that amount shall not exceed thirty
per cent of the capital stock of said
bank.
1 find that ail of tlie funds that
have come into the hands of tlie coun
ty treasurer have been deposited in
tlie various banks whose bonds have
been approved by you. That the
amount of money in flic treasurer
office at this time or lias alwayes been
ihe case since the law was amended
by the legislature in 1887 is more than
can be deposited under the provision
of Sec. 20 of chapter 18 for t lie reason
that the money on hand in the treasu
rer's office is more than thirty per
cent of the combined capital stock of
tlie various banks of t lie county.
I find that the county treasurer is
the custodian of li is office and it is for
him within the provisions and restric
tions of the depository act to deposit
and withdraw as the requirement in
tlie discharge of liis official duty shall
make necessary all the funds coming
into li is custody as such treasurer.
I find ! hat when a couqty board has
acted upon the propositions of diffe
rent banks applying to be made de
positories of county funds and approv
ed or rejected the bonds presented for
that purpose its powers and authority
in the premises ceases and it is with
out power and authority to control
the action of ths county treasurer
and direct in which of the depositor
ies or in what amount the deposit of
county funds shall lie had.
.■some years ago me county treasurer
of this county was advised by the
county attorney that if he deposited
in t he bank’s of Hie county more than
thirty per cent of the capital stock
that the treasurer was responsible on
his bonds. I have investigated this
subject and I think that the opinion
then given is the correct one.
1 do m t think that the county board
could be held responsible on their
official bond for the acts of another
official.
Yours Truly,
Arthur F. Mullen.
County Attorney.
The following letter was read.

The MuGcale.
The musicale given at the opera
house last Thusday evening under the
auspices of the Western Grand Con
cert company beautifully came up to
all expectations though the entertain
ment might have been improved upon
by the servicis of a gentleman to have
announced the numbers.
The violin solo’s played by Miss
Josephine Gamble cannot be too
highly praised and they strongly be
speak the many hundreds of hours
no doubt passed by her in earnest
application to her chosen instrument,
which is infact the king of all musical
instruments when in such hands.
Special mention might be made of
My old Kentucky Home, Fantasia,
which she played with wonderful
skill carrying two parts along with the
theme, which in effect appeared to be
surrounded with continuous clusters
of beaut iful harmoniac rytlnn. While
we do not want to appear to have
“stopped over” lie it understood that
one so un-versed with the English
language will not further attempt to
describe the skill of Miss Gamble’s
playing.
The recitations by Miss Dille were
cute and appropriate, the songs by
Miss Wilkins were very pretty and
well received, we believe however
that Miss Wilkins would have meas
urably improved her part of the enter
tainment by singing at least one song
that, would have show'n the range of
her voice.
The Harpist, Mrs. Esteila B. Blake
rendered two nice selections, with her
instrument, bnt as a matter of fact
her part of the entertainment would
have been improved upon, if she had
chosen lo devote more time to the
harp, and less to the piano. The
audience have a right to expect that
each player do their best and we be
lieve Mrs. Blake could have entertain
ed us with an overture; something of
a higher grade, and that it was her
duty to have done so. It appears to
be the failing of most Harpists how
ever, to play as little as will do. This
is a mistake when the audience is as
appreciative as the O’Neill audience.
Everybody was more than pleased
with the entertainment given and if
the charming girlsever come this way
again the rink cannot hold the crowd
that will want to hear them.

IAN ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE.
The Tom Franklin Nye Company to
Appear at the Opera House.
| The dramatization of Chas. Dick
ens’ charming historical romance of
“A Man of tlie World,” has given the
stage a very fine drama. It is owned
and played by this company alone,
and tlie version differs from all others,
as it abounds in comedy throughout.
Ail the important and thrilling situ
ations given in the story are incorpo
rated in tlie piece, which is character
ized throughout by a degree of con
sistency that is lacking in so many
modern dramas. The stage settings
and costuming are sumptuous and
historically correct. Mr. Nye ap
pears in the role of Lony and gives
Dickens’ character a charm of a high
ly artistic order. Each and every
member of the company has been en
gaged especially for liis or tier part in
tlie drama.
As this play is now booked in all the
large cities and this will be the only
opportunity to see this version of one
of t lie world’s greatest authors, Chas.
Dickens. Manager Smith deserves
great credit for securing such attrac
tions as the Nye Company, which is
said to be one of the best repetoire
organizations on tlie road today.
Their specialties are all high class
and are interposed throughout the
drama, allowing no tedious waits be
tween tlie acts. The production of
‘‘A Man of the World” will be char
acterized by a smoothness that is all
the more noteworthy considering the
many different tableaux which must
be shown to make the drama complete.
The company remain one week and
begin their engagement Monday eve
ning.
