In a letter received by The Frontier from Mr. Britt of the Britt Lyceum Bureau of Lincoln Mr. Britt announces that the quality of entertainment to be furnished by them this summer will far eclepse that offered by them last season, which assures O’Neill one of the best Chautauqua entertain ments in this section of the state du ring the season of 1914.

This is an honor that comes to but few and proves that Miss Georgia posesses historonic as well as musical ability. The play will be presented on April 24th and many O'Neill people have expressed their intention of going to Lincoln on that date to witness the performance. The Frontier reproduces this week an extended article from the Omaha World-Herald which gives an account of the address delivered in that city on March 17th by E. H. Whelan of this city.

McMANUS The Home of Good Merchandise L.. j petition to the county board asking J them to reject the petition presentea : to them by Hugh O’Neill some three ’ weeks ago, asking them to call an : election for the purpose of voting ' $60,000.00 in bonds to aid the building of a railroad through the township. The remonstrance is signed by some of the most prosperous farmers in the township, several of whom signed the original petition asking for the elec tion. As Mr. O’Neill had withdrawn his petition the board had nothing upon which to to act and nothing was done with the petition or remon strance. It will probably be taken up at the next meeting of the board. Secretary Golden of the Com mercial Club is around the city this afternoon circulating a petition to the officers of the Northwestern railroad company asking that the train which they will put back on the road on April 5th, and which formerly reached this city from the east at 10 o’clock, leave Omaha about midnight and reach this city about 7 o’clock in the morn ing. This would be of great benefit to the people of this section of the state and it is hoped that the petition, which is being signed by all of our business men, will have the desired effect upon the officers of the North western. City politics has been very quiet this spring and until the past few days no names have been mentioned for the office of Mayor, which has been filled by O. F. Biglin for the past four years. Mr. Biglin positively refused to be a candidate for re-election and many friends of T. V. Golden has been insisting upon him running for the office. Mr. Golden says that he would appreciate the honor of being mayor of O’Neill, where he has lived for thirty years, but that he would not nor was not a candidate for the office, but that if the people of the city would nominate and elect him that he would serve and give the city his best ef forts. So far we have heard of no opposition to Mr. Golden and we be lieve that he will be elected without opposition and the city of O’Neill could pay no less a tribute to the man that gave O’Neill her magnificient hotel, which has done more to advertise O’Neill as a progressive and live little city than any other business estab lishment in existence here. Last fall many of the people of our city were of the opinion that the city water was impure and in order to settle at once and for all time the question Mayor Biglin sent samples of the city water to the chemists of the Burlington railroad company for analysis. These men are residents of our sister state of Iowa and are num berad among the ablest in their pro fession in the west. A couple of weeks ago a copy of their analysis Vras received and from it we learn, that the residents of this city are drinking water that is as pure as any water in Nebraska or any other state. In fact in their letter, that accompanied tpeir report, they spoke very highly 0i the water and said that the people oi, this city were very fortunate in living in a section of the country where-, such pure water was obtainable. This, an alysis should set at rest the cry.that is raised occasionally that the <ity water is impure and the res idents of the city should see to it, that provision is made the coming season for increasing the water supply that we now have, as the great growth of the city and the increased demand for water is such that our present system is not sufficient to supply our demands. Increased water supply is a live ques tion in our city and the sooner the people realize the fact the easier it will be to make the provision. Quite a Mixture. A current newspaper item is as follows: “The wife of a Methodist minister in Virginia had been married three times. Her maiden name was Patridge, her first husband was named Robins, her second Sparrow are now two robins, one sparrow and three little quails in the family. One grandfather was Swan and another a Jay, but he is dead now and a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk avenue Eagleville Canary, Island, and the fellow who wrote this is a Lyre bird and a relative of the family.—Ex. Notice of Sale.
