Henry suspected that some thing was wrong when the fellow tried to pawn the shirt and put an officer on his track. engineers Will Entertain. Wednesday, February to, will bo a gala day in Alliance, nnd the social World will be "agog" with the doings of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers who will entertain, as an organization, for the first time. The men behind the throttle have made preparation to give a reception and ball that promises to eclipse all social doings of n like character. Fifteen hun dred invitations have been issued for the occasion, and it is the intention of the brotherhood that nothing shall be left un done to make the event one long to be re membered. The committees appointed to arrange matters are actively at work and their unity will bring forth good results. Owing to the magnitude of the affair, both the Phelan opera house and the Mll-ler-Zbinden hall have been secured for the occasion. At the opera house a re ception will take place, and those who do not desire to participate in the dance will be entertained at this place. Later in the evening, at 9:30, at the Zbinden-Miller hall n grand march will open the ball, which will be an elaborate affair. Quick's orchestra of Lincoln has been secured and this of course means something swell in the way of music. As this is the engineers' first attempt at entertaining they do not propose to be out done, and judging from the manner in whic a they are going at it indications are that they know a thing or two about ar ranging a social feature of this magnitude.

A well attended meeting of the Busi ness Men's club was held last Saturday nif'Tlt- Tll, intfirnot tfll'Atl elinnra.1 n spirit of progress and no doubt the chid win uo mucn uunng tlie year 1904 for the material interest of tlm r.Uv. The following board of directors was eiecteu tor tne ensuing year: Dr. F. M. Knight, president, B. F. Bettelheim, vice president, C. E. Marks, treasurer, F. M. Broome, sec retary. E. S. lackton. F. W. Harris. C. H. Connett, B. S. Marvin, Dr. L. W. Bowman. In his initiatory address to the club, President Knight expressed himself in the following manner, which shows a practical and progressive con ception of the interests which the club can profit by: "You are aware that the year 1903 is a thing of the past and that 1904 is before us with all of its available pros pects. Our club has maintained its organization and we want it still to be an important factor in the interests of tlie city. You will agree that it has been the means of establishing pleas ant social relations and I believe you will also agree that its functions should be enlarged. Heretofore dancing and cards have been its chief attractions. Would it not be well to try to conform to a few more of the features originally intended by the club? Alliance as a city has its average musical talent and is not behind in literary attainments. That our club mav be an un. tn.Hntn organization for the year 1904 I ask you all to give your individual assist ance. The officers and directors alone cannot make it a success. There must be individual effort on the part of each ana every one to lend a helmm hand. In conclusion I would suggest that the entertainment committee arrange for a nmsico-litomry ontortainment to be given every month, and that the busi ness interests of our community bo looked after more closely. II a stran ger comes to our city with n special business proposition it should be taken up by the club and either encouraged or rejected." Dcnth of truest Lcmko. ThVmany friends of Mr. Ernest Lomko in this city wore surprised to loam of his death, which sad event took place at Sheri dan last Tuesday evening, after an illness of six days with pneumonia. The old saying, "In the midst of life we are In death," is forcibly expressed in the demise of this good man. Hut a short time ago Mr. Lemkc and his estimable wife aud children were in Alliance on their return front an enjoyable visit with relatives at Malvern, Iowa, shaking hands with num erous friends. The picture ot health and happiness, his old associates greeted him in the warmest friendly expression. On his roturn to Sheridan and resuming his position as an employe of tho B. & M. railway, Mr. Lemko contracted a cold which dcvclopedpneumoniaof a fatal nature. Everything that human skill coulddo failed to arrest tho ravages of the malady and Tuesday night the once strong, robust man gave up life's battle. Mr. Lemke was 4C years of nge, leaving a ttife and four children. He was, until four months ago, a resident of this city and lived in western Nebraska for twenty years. Owing to his being called to Sheridan he removed to that city two months ago. Deceased was a member of the A. O. U. W. and M. B. A. orders, who conducted the funeral. The remains were brought to this city last night, accompanied by tho bereaved family and Messrs. James Miller and J. R. Wilcox. The funeral took place from the M. E. church at 2 o'clock this after noon, Rev. Itay officiating. Other rela tives present at the funeral were tho fol lowing brothers-in-law of tho deceased: Fred Johnson, Big Springs, Neb., J. R. Buttle, Malvern, Iowa, and W. T. Buttle, Julesburg, Neb. At thoTtolterMtaTnTg Rink. The one mile race between Frank Fox, Daye Moran and Jesso Morrison Wednes day night, for a pair of nickel-plated, Winslow ball-bearing skates, was won by Dave Moran by about 30 feet. Frank Fox was second. A good crowd was in attendance. Friday flight of next week there will be a barrel race at the skating rink. On the 19th of February the proprietor of the skating rink will give a prize a pair of nickel-plated, ball-bearing roller skates to the most gracdul yotiog lady skater. Every Thursday afternoon ladiis will have the privilege of using tho rink to learn to skate. The rink will be open from 2 to 5 p. m. The Herald's Special Edition1. Keith L. Pierce, cashier of the First State bank and The Herald's representa tive at Hemingford, has the following to say this week in reference to our special edition: A. B. Evans and a photographer from Alliance have been out all week and are getting some excellent ranch pictures. Mr. Evans is devoting much time to this end of the county, a fact which will be appre ciated by the people. He is making every effort to show up our resources and advantages in a creditable manner. There is no doubt that an edition of The Herald made up along the ideas on which he is working will be a substantial advantage to property holders and busi ness men for it will open the eyes of the people who live in the crowded sections of the east to the possibilities that are here. It is highly probable that the men who are here now and who are in possession of a section or more of land will, if they retain what they have, see themselves in very uuimunauiu circumstances ueiore many years pass by. Editions of this kind will promote immigration and will bring to us new men and what we need most, more men. It takes numbers to back enter prises like sinking artesian wells and going ahead with experimental farming. With out any idea of advertising the sale of the issue for the money that will be in it for the paper, it would seem the part of wis dom for land owners and business men to get enough copies of this edition to mail to their eastern friends to clear up the idea that Box Butte county is principally shift ing sand and that its inhabitants are either paupers or men who are trying to do eastern creditors. Even in eastern Ne braska the idea prevails that Box Butte county is in the sand hills and that the principal industry of the people is to swindle eastern men who loan money on land. Now it is the religious duty of our people to do everything they can to clear up these vile notions. It can be done by showing them pictures of our farms and ranches. The photographs and short sketches of the lives of some of our suc cessful ranchmen and by the tale of things accomplished. There will bo riven in , M t? church next Tuesday evening, January 26, an illustrated lecture of Yellow- stone Park with cnlnrptl viVwg TliSc lecture comes very highly recommend ed by the press and is to be given un der the management of the Ladies' Aid society. You will miss a treat if you miss this. F. M. Raymond spent Saturday in Hemingford. Commissioners' Proceedings. Almanch, Nnn., Jan. 15, 1904.
