Season of Sack Cloth and Ashes.
The lentcn season is upon us with all
its forco and the inner man is denied the
full vent of carnal desires. Canned lobster
and cove oysters have taken the place of
flesh and sack cloth and ashes that of the
dance and opera. Of course to some this
has no significance; the season of fasting
and prayer comes and goes without bting
noticed. But for the person who is solicit
ous least the flesh rules the spirit, this
season means much as a safeguard in which
to hold the material man in subjection. It
is a well known fact that human nature is
weak and rebellious and resists the will
power to confine itself within the bonds of
reason, while on the other hand the spirit
ual man recognizes reason and will with
out the least effort rise above the weakness
of human frailty if the body is held in sub
jection. Hence the lenten season comes
not as an imposition to mankind but a
short period when over-indulgences may
be checked. Last Wednesday, known as
Ash Wednesday, the lenten season began
and in this issue we publish extracts from
the annual pastoral letter of the Right
Rev. Richard Scanncll, bishop of Omaha,
which dwells on this subject and points to
the "dry rot" that exists in the social and
family circles of the American people at
the present time. Not only does the
prelate point out the disease, but he pre
scribes a remedy which, if applied, will
eradicate the evil. The letter is one of the
most forceful given out in years and its
contents will put many to thinking regard
ing society and its ethics.

The Alliance Herald's mammoth spe
cial edition will appear March 4. It is un
doubtedly the greatest and most expensive
journalistic effort ever attempted by any
country newspaper in Nebraska, and that
our citizens will appreciate its intent
and purpose is a conclusion that we do not
hesitate to venture.
The canvas by our solicitor and com
piler has been as thorough as it was possi
ble to make it, the only regret being our
inability to visit more of our ranchers in
this locality.
More than one hundred halftone views
and scenes will adorn its pages, with a
concise and descriptive writeup of histo
rical events, the future prospects of Alli
ance and Box Butte county, legions and
biographical sketches of our leading citi
zens, accompanied by likenesses of each
individual.
Across the top of the first page will ap
peas a large panoramic view of the city,
showing the residence and business sec
tions, and also an accompaning view of the
south side of the railroad, where the vast
machine shops arc located.
.Many ranch and stock views, interior
and exterior fac simile of our business
houses, etc., views of our churches,
public buildings, Wyoming avenue, our
principal business street, and many other
interesting scenes too numerous to men
tion at this time.
Only a few more days are allotted to
those wishing space in this special number

parture Sunday night for Torreon, Old

still owns two sections of land. This ho
