This proposition was an extreme imposition on cattle raisers of the wast who are at present beset with many discouraging obstacles.

Not only members of the church but all others will find these meetings and religious feat ures of great interest.

Mrs. J. A. Wells and Miss Stratton were ; down from Berea yesterday. The ladies called at this office and expressed them selves concerning the road along the rail- ' road track over which there has been much contention. They believe that the busi ness men of Alliance should interest them selves and see that the road along the rail road is kept open. The home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Arm strong was the scene of a pleasant surprise party given by the younger generation in behalf of her daughter Blanche last Friday evening. The little folks had a "swell" time of it and their light hearts resounded with joy and merriment on this pleasant occasion. The poet has truthfully said, "Backward, turn backward, O time in thy flight; make me a child again, just for to night." It is such occasions as these that the mind turns to the bygone days, when we all enjoyed the incomparable sweets of childish joy and simplicity L JOi,. .ZX oro I-1 Ml DTD LJ ILJ JlULj JJgPf fJ(a'rz ppl I Ill M.'.HTEgMaSgSSASVj.'.IJ MM'JtT , What a glorious rain fell the past few days! It moans untold value to the people of this part of the state, and with renewed entrgy every ranchman and farmer will go to work, feeling confident that full crops next fall will be the result of their summer labors It is true that for n while things looked mighty blue for this season of the year, when mother earth's life Is quickened by the precipitation of moisture that came not untill last week. So let us bo thank ful for the beneficial change and with light hearts go to work growing in abundance tho many valuablo crops western Ne braska is celebrated for. Let us stand up ?s ViilivniiUii frt ttta It t It ft nAla!ttA . . ' ' ' Tho homo of Mr nnd Mrs Jules Zbinden was made doubly happy last week by tho arrival of Mr. ?..'i brothers and their families. Fred came in from Kent, Wash., I Saturday and tho other brother, Herman irom &weetwater, tins state, on his way with his folks to tho northwest country for season of recreation. Fred nnd family will visit at Sweetwater and other Nebraska points and it is also their intention to see the sights at the World's fair before they return home. While at Omaha Monday the writer b.iw Everett Moore formerly of this city. He had just been released from the emergency hospital where he had undergone n siege of smallpox. Although it wsa evident that Mr. Moore's case was a severe one, he did not believe that his face would bo badly pitted. Ho likes his new position but would appreciate n little Box Butte .sun shine tifcensionally. N I , ,.h r ' - ' Under Course of Erection. Dr. F. D. Reynolds returned from his trip Sunday and expects to open his dental office in the rooms over the postolfice soon, James Mracek went to Omaha Sunday night to consult Dr. Gifford, James has been suffering with an abscess for the past year and a half but he believos that a cure is nearly effected.

A son was born to Mr. and Mrs, A. L. Davis, who reside four miles north of town, on May 4th, but the parents were parted from their little one in a few hours, "I take these little lambs" said He "And fold them to my breast. They'll never know no sorrow here For there in peace they rest." 1 Bayard Transcript. J. W. Wehn of Al I liance was a Bayard visitor this week. 1 A. W. Wilson was home from Alliance several daps during the week on account of t the illness of Mrs. Wilson. She is much . improved. Burlington ticket agents are now sending ! in their old B & M. and "Q." tickets. They will be used no more. Tickets local to any point of the Burlington system have been substituted. "It will not be long," it fs said, "until the name B. & M. may almost entirely disappear from Burlington route stationery." Lincoln Journal. , . Judge Kicker Expresses Himself. Chndron Times: Itmav he n .little late to say anything about it, hut wo always have so many things in our cold storage for our readers that wo nre much vexed at times for space and so are never quite caught up. But Tom O'Kcefe ol Tint At.UA.Nun Ilitit.vi.t) lies accomplished such n feat in illus trated journalism that wo huvo brought everything to a standstill in thin office while we take off our hat, make our lowest how and "write him up" as tho gamiest little publisher in the north west. This edition speaks well for Tom's enterprise a,nd courage. Wc shall not try todcsniiheil can't do it but if you want to sco the choice book paper on which it is printed, and the beautiful half tones and the number nndvatiely of them, as well as the modest, tasteful and slobbcrlcss sketches of places nnd persons it con tains, send Tom a quarter and got a single copy cheap at twice the price. It is n judicious advertisement for Box Butte county and incidentally speaks praise of all northwest Nebraska. Mrs, K. II. Hlnnchard of this city is showu in 11 cortect picture as the first teacher in Box Butto county. I lor two boiis nre shown in another illustration, 0110 appearing aB "Tho First Dentist in tho County" and the other the victim of tho dentist who stands with forceps in hand grasping tho grinder. One of tho most unique illustrations is "Two crops that Never Fail 111 Box Butto," consisting of little Sarah O'Keofo Glou Miller nnd Agnes Newberry, an overturned basket of potatoes and each child holding a tuber. Our sister county has always been loeoguized as a potato producer, and since Teddy swept over it sowing tho seed of his' cheerful propaganda it has been surging to tho front with the pickaninnies also. May Box Butte's prosperity and O'Keefe's avoirdupois never grow less. Norbert Fronnpfel received a 'phone message 'oday stating that his brother Leo's oldest son, nged 13 years, was very low at the ranch north of Hemingford. Norbert went up on No. 41. Judge Spacht Issued a marriage license today to Jos. W. Rusher and Olive M. Adnms of Scottsbtuff county. Evidently the couple anticipated a rush or increased fees for a marriuge license as they do not expect to marry till next week. Geo. W. Duncan resigned as county commissioner yesterday and expects to leave today for Ft. Morgan, Colo., his future home. The family will follow soon, with the exception of Miss Lulu who will finish her term in the city schools, The many friends of this estimable fnmily will regret their departure. It is amusing to hear a number of the supporters of thejiroscnt city administra tion hollering themselves hoarse over one of the recent.appointments because the ap pointee happens to hail from Lin coln. They term it an "outrage' etc. These fellows have nothing to kick about. In fact they ought to be thankful that the entire new force'was not imported from Chicago. Omaha people desiring copies of Tin: Hkrald'h Illustrated Industrial edition nay secure them at McGeath's stationery store, 1312 Farnam. The proprietors of this establishment, which by the way is the largost news and stationery store in the city, were pleasecj to secure tho agency and have the paper prominently displayed in the show windows of their store. The Omaha Bee and World-Herald pronounce the edition the finest ever issued in the state, a credit to Nebraska in general and Alliance in particular. The Alliance brass band has made ar rangements to present a play at the Phehn opera house Wednesday evening, April 11. under the direction of Wm. H. Mack, who is said to have quite a reputation along tint lines of theatrical tutorship. The title of the cast, according to the artistically ll- jiajcu iiuiiu-uujs uuvpi using llic piuy, IS, "A Wise Fool." Thore are plenty of in teresting features in thin production and with the ability that go6 to make up the play no doubt those who atttind will be greatly interested. A new hay stacker, known as the Frris Wheel, and invented and patented by John Hague-of this county, is attracting consid erable attention and is considered one of the bast things of the kind on the market. The new device Is to be seen at the Forest lumbor yards, where they are being con structed. Mr. Hague is actively engaged in placing his valuable inveution on the market, and there in no reason to doubt that the Ferris Wheel stacker will soon be in active operation in all parrs of the country.
