THE O’NEILL FRONTIER D. H. CRONIN. Publisher. PNEILL, NEBRASKA Many persons who think their sight perfect have a greater visual power in one eye than in the other. With re gard to the respective power of the right and left eye a well known op tician finds that a person occupied in ' Writing all day has, as a rule, stronger | Vision in the left. Writing with the right hand and Iris left arm resting on the table, his left eye Is nearer his work and its vision is more concen trated. This expert says that our race will never become so short-sighted as the German while football, tennis, hockey, etc., are encouraged In our public schools. Colchester derives so much pecuniary benefit and celebrity through Its oyster fishery that Its mayor and corporation have been appointed guardians of tho Industry. Oneo a year, at the opening of the oyster season, tho city fathers sail to the fishing ground, and lliu mayor formally assists in raising the first dredge of bivalves. Afterwards, In fulfillment of an ancient custom, there is a luncheon, at which tho dis tinctive luxury is gingerbread, washed down with raw gin, a combination which, It is reasonable to assume, will : fix tho event in memory for several , days. As if the millions of evils from which ; tho Brahmin community is suffering ! aro not sufficient, a now evil of a very ; formidable and demoralizing character, i In tlie form of varadakshuna (brlde § groom's prleo), has appeared among us.

It Is stated that nearly 8,000 school gardens exist in Austria, not including the sister kingdom of Hungary. They are connected with both private and public schools, and are used for pur poses of practical Instruction in horti culture and tree growing, and often contain botanical museums and bee hives.

SCENE IS DRAMATIC ONE Action Arouses Tempo/ of One Board Member, Who Declares He Would Like to Fight a Duel to Clear Character. Omaha, Neb.. Oct. 22.—The members of the Omaha board of fire and polic commissioners, W. J. Broatch, Le i Spratlen, J. W. Thomas and Dr. George L. Miller, were tried before Governor Mickley late yesterday afternoon on charges of misconduct in office and failure and refusal to perform their du ty, preferred against them by the Civic federation. At the conclusion of the hearing Gov ernor Mickey announced that he would take the matter under advisement. His decision is expected in a week or ten days. Circumstances attending the trial in dicate that a compromise may be ef~ ,fected whereby the members of the I commission will retain their seats but enforce the Sunday closing provision ^>f the Slocum liquor lav,'. Nor a time toward the latter part e.’ the trial the scene became animated when Dr. Miller and W. J. Broatch made personal responses to what they took in the charges to be personal at tacks upon their character. Would Fight Duel. “If the days of duelling were in force, I would dare any man in this room tc bring a charge against me which would tend to blacken my character." vocifer ated Mr. Broatch. with flaring eyes, as lie scanned the faces of the attorneys and members of the Civic federation who were in the room. "I served in th' army for my country; I was mayor ol this city for two terms, and this is the first time that a charge was brought against me that would put a blot on my name. I have been conscious of doing my duty—my whole duty—and 1 was governed by what I believed t< be wise counsel.” These declarations were made after Governor Mickey had announced tin hearing at an end. The governor ami Attorney T. J. Mahoney reassured Mr Broatch that there was nothing per sonal in the charges. “All we are here for is the enforcement of the law,” de clared Mahoney, the counsel for th • Civic federation, “and If the board will enforce the law we will withdraw thes , charges in fifteen seconds.” However, the board did not accept <he challenge. Delivers Impassioned Speech. Some time before Dr. Miller inter rupted the hearing with an impassion speech, in which he resented what h termed an attack upon his character. Miller’s voice trembled and his whoK frame shook with fervor as he declare' himself. The eyes in the room looke upon him kindly and the governor in terposed with reassuring words, bui with little appeasing effect. "I came to this board reluctantly when you ap pointed me, your excellency," he said addressing the governor. "To be sur. that I would act right, I sought ad vice concerning my duties from Car: Wright, then city attorney. He in formed me that I had no executive au thority. I am grieved very much, gen tlemen, to come here today at the age of 76 years and after over fifty year residence in Omaha and be told that I have wilfully violated my sacred oatl of office when I have acted upon offi cial advice.” Dr. Miller's grief was app'arent and the scene was really pathetic. At thir juncture the governor interposed with kindly words, "in selecting you to this board I did so because of my respect of you and my confidence in your in tegrity—and I have lost none of either Dr. Miller.” "Thank you, governor, thank you," he replied with feeling. “It is merely a question of better gov eminent for Omaha,” continued the governor. When the hearing began at 2 o’clod;. Judge W. D. McHugh, counsel for the commissioners filed a demurrer to tie charges, alleging that it is not within the province of the board to enfori - the law and that those administrath duties are vested in the mayor. Judge McHugh's argument lasted until late i the afternoon. Attorney Mahoney replied for the Civic Federation maintaining that th commissioners could and should en force the law. Attorney General’s Opinion. At the conclusion of his argument, Governor Mickey read an opinion 01 Norris Brown, attorney general of Ne braska, which sustained the position o'. Attorney Mahoney. In conclusion ihe attorney genera: said; “It will be seen that the duty of en forcing the law in cities of the metro politan class is lodged with the mayo; arid fire and police board, of whic h the mayor is an ex-officio member. Such board appoints the chief of police who has supervision and control of the po lice force of the city, subject to the orders of the mayor and fire and police commissioners. "Therefore, if the law against the sale of liquor on Sunday is not enforce.’, the board of fire and police commis sioners who are given authority to ap point, supervise and direct the chief of police and the police force of the city, are responsible; such non-enforcement of law on the part of the board of lire and police commissioners would, in our opinion, constitute 'neglect o; duty,’ and would authorize you to re move them from office.” ..» - BLAZON INSIGNIA NO MORE Yale Secret Society Men to Stop Wear ing Badges Publicly.
