This, with the recent improve ments in the way of cement sidewalks, makes much better state of affairs on on the streets. Swain’s Big City Show is the only first class attraction which is now traveling in this part of the country. The opera-house manager is trying to secure it for his patrons. The com pany carries fourteen people and will no doubt be the event of the season. The attraction will probably be here about the middle of the month. Perry Miller of Phoenix was a pleasant caller on Monday. Mr. Mil ler is one of the substantial men from a substantial section of the country, He has been a reader of The Frontier since the day it was founded and intends to continue it. Speaking of county divison, he thinks it would be an extremely unwise move to divide the county. November 1 marked the close of the fishing season and opening of the quail seasorp Quails are the ligitimate pro perty of any one who is good enough shot to get them during tire month ol November only. The law says thaf no fish shall be caugiit from now til next April, but it is probable there will be plenty of fish on the markel and tables just the same. The ballots for next Tuesday’s elec tion have been delivered to the count) clerk who is sending them out wrtt the poll books to tire various town ships.

Lincoln Star: The right of a count) treasurer to discriminate betweer county banks bonded as county deposi tories was one of the most importanl cases to be sudmitted to the supreme count at the beginning of the Novem her session this morning. The ques tion is involved in the suit of the First National bank of O’Neill againsl Cronin and the First National bank ol Atkinson against Cronin, appealed from Holt county. In these cases the bankers charge that they have com plied with the county depository law and have fjiven depository bonds to County Treasurer Cronin, but that the county treasurer does not give them an equal share of county deposits with other banks at O’Neill and Atkinson. The banks seek by mandamus to compel the treasurer to distribute the funds to the several banks in a fair and equitable manner. Spencer Advocate: Mrs. Dennis Handley, mother of our fellow-towns man P. J. Handley, has so far recover ed from her illness that she was able to return to her home at O’Neill on Saturday last. She has been in the hospital at Omaha for the past three weeks. Pat went down to the city last week and accompanied his mother to her home on Saturday, and return ing to Spencer Sunday.' These are strenuous days around O’Neill newspaper offices. The Fron tier has had about double its capacity with the present force and regrets that some of its patrons have been in convenienced by having to wait for their work. We hope to be soon caught up so that work can be turned out las hist as wanted. Frontier readers will also bear with us a little until we can get some of the job printing out of the way and have more time to gather news for the paper. Col. Bryan has come and gone. The great orator failed to draw anything like a multitude or sway with silver tongueor stirring eloquence those who came to hear him. The man who once could draw attentive ears at O’Neill from fifty miles around was met at the Northwestern depot Fri day night as the late train came in by a few local fusion leaders without blare of trumpet or beating of drum. A chicken hunt Saturday forenoon, a political but not violent harangue in the afternoon and the colonel was on his way west, where he spoke at Stuart in the evening. His speech here failed to arouse any marked en - thusiasm. It consisted of ironical but vague references to the new revenue law, of apologies and explana tions why he, a silver democrat, was in favor of the election of a gold dem ocrat to the presidency and clever i moralizing on the duty of American citizens. Perhaps Mr. Bryan’s very ardent admirers were pleased, but those who are in the habit of weigh ing things for wtiat they are worth were disappointed. They had expect ed more than they got.
