one knbvvs positively, because it is pretty hard to tell
sometimes just what causes any kind of pain. One thing is
certain, however. That is Omega Oil. cures Neuralgia.
It cures by putting the nerves to sleep. It is believed to
be the only external cure known for Neuralgia. Every
internal neuralgia medicine is strong and dangerous.
Omega Oil cures from the outside, and there is no risk
or danger in using it. :

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 6. (Special.) Chief Jus-
tlce Norval will retire from the supremo
court bench next Thursday and on the
same day Judge-elect Sedgwick will take
the oath of ofllco an a member of the
court. The retirement of Justice Norvat
will causa the promotion of Judge J. J. Sul
livan to the position of chief Justice. Mr.
Norval will return to the practlco of law
In Seward, probably with tho firm of Nor
val brothers.
Justice Norval will preside over the de
liberations of tho court tomorrow and
Wednesday, but will tako no matters un
der consideration that cannot bo disposed
of beforo h's term expires. Judge Sedgwick
will probably sit with tho court and listen
to any arguments that may be made, so
that he will have a knowledgo of all legal
matters submitted nt this week's sitting.
The oath of office for a member of the
supreme court Is similar to that prescribed
for all other Judicial and cxccutlvo officers,
and la as follows:
I do solemn! v swenr that. I will sunnort
the constitution of the United States and
the constitution of the state of Nebraska.
nnd will faithfully dlscliarKO the duties of
J.idge nccordlnu to the best of inv ability,

A caso. of Interest to school people and
school patrons thut will soon bo submitted
to tho supremo court for final Judgment Is
that wherein Daniel Freeman of Qago
county Is seeking to restrain the authori
ties of that county from allowing certain
portions of tho bible to bo read In the' pub
lic schools. Tho legal proceedings wcro
begun in tuo district court or uago. county
In 1809. Freeman Insists thnt a teacher
m "ago county wrongruuy aim witnoui
IcRal authority read each day to her pupils
certain portions of tho blblo. uniformly
using tho King James version, which Is, ho
declares, an Incorrect translation rrom tho
original tongues. Objection Is also offored
to the reading nnd singing or gospel hymns
beforo tho pupils.
In n-brlcf filed this afternoon by tho at-
torneys for tho Qago county school district
It Is contended that tho court cannot inter
fere with the discretion of tho local board
In tho matter la question. Tho attorneys
set up that tho exccutlvo department of
tho state, through the department of pub
lic Instruction, has constantly held that
tho blblo may be rond and tho Lord's
prayer repeated In tho public schools of
tho stato; and further, thnt religion, mor
altty and knowledge, being essential to
good government, It shall bo the duty of
ho legislature to pass sultablo laws to pro
tcct every r,ellglou3 denomination In tho
poaccablo enjoyment of Its mode of public
worship and to encourage schools and tho
means of Instruction. It Is pointed out that
tho exclusion of tho blblo and all refer
cncCfl thereto, from tho mlbllo schools in
tho largo cities hnvo caused a oositlvc

Mile Wilt Came.
Arguments In tho famous Miles will caso,
from Falls City, wbb begun this afternoon
beforo a branch of the supremo court com
mission. Two weeks ngo, beforo tho su-
promo court, n motion was rando by certain
ot tho contestants who had Joined In carry
ing tho caso up, to havo It dismissed. They,
alleged, that thoy wero satisfied that tho
document of 1S88 wn the real and ouly
valid will of tho lato Samuel B. Miles and
that they wero willing to abldo by Its pro
visions. This motion Is still under con
sideration by tho court.
For tho entlro number of orlgnal con
testants tho following list of attorneys
were rotalned: John L. Wobster, Omaha;
I. J. Rlngolsky, ' Kansas City; Smith P.
Clault, St. Louis; J. H. Broody, Lincoln; A.

boncflclary of tho 1SSS will, Sonator Francis

appear.
Clunlln .Survive Zero Wenllier,
Deputy Game Commissioner fioorge Car
ter of North l'latte says tho rocont cold
weather has demonstrated tho fallacy of the
argument that cxtrcmo low weather would
kill quails in largo numbers In western
Nebraska. This argument was advanced'
ngnlnst tho game law passed by tho last
IcglBlaturo, It being Insisted that tho act
would protect the birds from tho sports
mon, only to hnvo them killed by tho cold
of winter.
"I havo Just returned from a trip through
Hall, Dawson, Lincoln nnd Gosper coun
ties ami 1 was surprised at tho great num
bor-ot quails in that section of tho state,"
said Mr. Carter. "Tho tempcraturo out
thero was sometimes down to thirty below
zero and still it did not kill the quails. In
the four counties I did not hear ot a
slnglo quail being killed by tho cold
weather.
"So far as I can see thero has beon com
paratively little Illegal shooting In that
section. A trnvellng man from a Arm that
deals in guns and ammunition told- mo that
his salts In this line woro not 10 per
cent ns great as those of last years, and ho
says the game Inw Is responsible for tho
falling off. That Is a protty good Indica
tion that the law Is having a good effect."
