A Rare Relic.
Engineer Fred E. Allen of this city re
cently received an old keepsake from his
uncle, Win, T. Allen, who resides at
Columbus, Neb., which is of great interest
to nil liberty-loving Americans and at the
same time traces Mr. Allen's family record
back to a man who in this age would see
much that fails to equal the standard of
liberty he distinguished himself for. Tho
relic is in the form of a razor that was tho
personal property of General Ethan
Allen of Revolutionary war, fame,
in his letter to Mr. Allen which accom
panied the heirloom, the writer says;
"This razor most be kept in the Allen
family. It was handed from Ethan Allen
to John J. Allen,' your great grandfather.
He handed it down to his son, John B.
Allen. Your grandfather, Allen, my father,
gave it to me and I to you. Please care for
it and hand it down as an old relic of the
Allen family. Your great grandfather Al
len, was ono of the 12 men that marched
into Ticouderoga under General Iithan Al
len. Ethan had 3O men all told. In that
eventful attack he left iC men to guard the
boat, four at the road crossing and four to
guard the back gates, that left him 12 men
with which to take the fort, which he did,
including 64 prisoners, all stores, arms and
ammunition. And all this in the words
that will always livo: "In the name of tho
great Jehovah and the Continental Con
gress." The rare old relic is as bright and
serviceable as a modern razor and no
doubt will often shave the face of the
Allen of today. The razor was, left at this
office by Mr. Allen and may be hean by
those interested,
Around the World.
The Herald hereby acknowledges with
thanks a copy of Rcv.E.C Horn's work en
titled, "Around the World.'' The edition
contains a narrative of a tour of the globe
by Dr. Horn, whom, it will be remem
bered, started on that interesting journey
while a resident of Alliance. The writer
centainly was at his best on the trip and it
can be plainly seen in his descriptive writ
ings that little of interest escaped liis eye.
The book is illustrated with scenes of
foreign lands and people that will interest
everyone and in short the volumne will
find a prominent place in many libraries.
In tho introduction, Dr. Horn refers to
this paper, which published his foreign
letters, as follows: "Being under exclus
ive contract with The Alliance Herald
as its "Around the World" representative,
numerous courtesies were extended by the
press, bp our consuls, and by the officials
of transportation lines throughout the
thirty-thousa'nd-mile journey, space for
bidding individual mention."

enjoy his visit to his heart's content. Dr.
J. A. Scamahorn of Gordon will have charge
of the M. E. congregation during Rev.
Ray's absence from the city.

Edition Continue and Congratu
lations arc Many.
MAKVltLOUB TRANSFORMATION.
Columbus Tologrami Last week The
Allinucc Hciald issued nn illustrated
edition which surpassed anything of
tho kind ever attempted in Nebraska.
It wns" a picture story of tho marvelous
transformation of western Nebraska,
tracing things from the dominating day
of the Indians down to tho present day
of prosperity on the farm and on the
ranch. . And the wonderful develop
ment of that new country has been due
not 111010 to natural advantages than to
tho presence of such men as Editor
O'Keefe, whose push and enterprise
have carried the tidings of goods things
in western Nebraska to all the world.
A VALUA1II.U AUVHKTISIIMKNT.
St Paul Republican: T. J. O'Keefe,
"publiaharof Tho Alliance Herald, is to ho
congratulated on the edition just issued.
From every standpoint it is 11 creditable
achievement and one of which any
publisher might well bo proud. It will
prove a valuable advertisement for
northwestern Nebraska and "Mr
O'Keefe is entitled to something more
substantial than thanks from the prop
erty owners of that section.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Crete Democrat: The Industrial
edition of The Alliance Herald isBtied
April S, is one of the noutost from a
typographical, mechanical and illus
trated point of view we have seen ui n
long time. Editor O'Keefe is one df,
the wide awake newspaper men who
have made money in the business. Wo
congratulate him on the fine display of
good taste and sensible writeups of the
citizens and business interests of that
lively young city.
"HAVE TO HUSTLU TO lU'.AT IT.
The Chicago Newspaper Union,
thrdugh its manager, sends the follow
ing words of praise regarding the Special
Edition: I am in receipt of copy of the
illustrated' edition of your paper, and
wish to thank you for your kind re
membrance. Also want to congratu
late you very heartily upon the splendid
appearance of this number. It is the
best thing of the kind I have ever seen,
and I think any publisher in a town no
larger than Alliance from Maine to
California would have to hustle to equal
it."
WHAT SAM J'OTTKR THINKS OF IT.
Under date of April 23 the well
known manager of the Great Western
Type foundry, Omaha, Sam J. Potter,
indulges in the following praise: "A
few days ago I had the pleasure of re
ceiving a copy of your Illustrated In
dustrial Edition of the Alliance Herald,
and, after carefully looking it over, I
want to say to you, without flattery,
that I think your paper is not only one
of the best, but thai it is the best
illustrated paper I have seen printed in
the state. You certainly have reason
to be proud of the success you have
made of the Herald since establishing
it in Alliance, two years ago, and the
community in which vou live should
congratulate itself on having such a
wide-awake and enterprising newspaper
man arc among them."
TO THIl HONOR
OV THE HPITOR.
12.
P, Uerryinan,
secretary gf the
Jacksonian Club of Nebraska, writes in
the following happy vein on behalf of
the organization regarding the Herald's
Special Edition: "I am pleased to ac
knowledge, for myself and for tho club
memb'ers, receipt of yonr mammoth
issue of April 8. It is a production iu
every way to the honor of its editors
and shows that the business men of
Alliance are fully alive to tho merits of
the great advertising they, as well as
the city, get from such an issue. The
writer can hardly realize from the trips
be used to make commercially through
that territory in the eighties, that such
a growth is possiljjc, and although not
from Missouri, I must admit I am be
Having by seeing the great progress
your nowspapcr shows has taken place,
Toll our good friond Smysor he still re
tains his good looks and youth, which
is evidence that alkali water will ,agreo
with a democrat when taken in homeo
pathic doses. Regardless of politics,
the other officials of Box Butte county
show a remarkable degree of good
looks and since your lady superintend
ent of schools is a partial product of
Omaha educational institutions wo re
alize the attainment which will accrue
to teachers and scholars under her
supervision. 1 bavo suggostod to sev
eral of our bachelor attorneys that you
bad a few 'Waiting for a Home' in your
locality and if tho 'Hnrrolfull,' as you
illustrate, is a sample of tho bounty of
ydur laud you may not bo surprised to
see a few of the aforesaid bachelors
emigrating to Box Butte county. We
shall hope in due course of time that
those two Htth Misses, Sarah O'Keefe
and Agnes Newberry will convert
Master Glen Miller to pure democracy
if hu has not nlready been started tho
right way. Those members of the
Bar Tenders' Union are a handsome lot
of fellows. I should make a guess that
they had originated from Omaha. In
this issue you make it appear that the
editor U a busy man and by the way
he tfots busy when hs visits the Jack
sonian banquet in Omaha wo shall pre
sume that the photographer caught him
at his real work. Wo shall sinceroly
hope the good work .vill go on and you
will find it expedfent to issue this great
advertising Herald quartorly. Po not
forget" your friends when you do. Wc
shall hope to meet you at the state con
vention in Juno and hope to find that
the morning after November 5U1 yon
can cover tho .outside pages of your
Herald with roosters iiuten.1 of
Indians."
