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

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

ful for the beneficial change and with light
hearts go to work growing in abundance

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

pitted. Ho likes his new position but
would appreciate n little Box Butte .sun

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.

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

the bast things of the kind on the market.
The new device Is to be seen at the Forest
