ler is one of the substantial men from

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

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.

a few local fusion leaders without

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.
