Samples of Alliance students' drawings and work will be on exhibition. If you fail to see this display and learn of the greatest educational institution in the world you will regret it. A New Departure. The Herald, along with other papers in the city, has decided on a new order of things in the way of charging a nominal fee for the publishing of cards of thanks, resolutions, ana church notices where prices of admission are charged. This may seem an unusual departure from the accustomed rule here, but the fact is that such is the case in a ereat manv nlaces and is found to be satisfactory to all inter ested. 1 lie fact that much time and space is devoted each week to matters of this nature which newspapers treat in their local writeups is sufficient explanation that the press is justly entitled to a little recompense for the publishing of the notices under question, and which will be as follows, beginning next week. Cards of Thanks Not to exceed 10 lines 25c, each line additional 3c Resolutions Not to exceed 20 linos. oc. each line additional 3c. Church and Society Entertainments, Socials and Suppers where admission is charged 3c per line. Died Unattended and Alone. Michael M. Jacoby, the well-known butcher who recently had charge of Gra ham's meat market, died suddenly and alone some time last Friday and his body found that evening in the barn of Mr. Simonson, just east of the business houses on the east side of Box Butte avenue, between Wyoming avenue and Dakota street. Ex-Marshal Wiker and a brother of the deceased instituted a search for the missing man with the above results. The remains were taken to the home of Engi neer S. W. Jacoby and the funeral held Monday forenoon Rev H. P. V. Bogue of the First Presbyterian church, officiat ing. The interment was at Greenwood cemetery. Michael M. Jacoby was born in Burlington, Iowa, 39 years' ago, and had been a resident of Alliance for 3 years. He was an experienced meat cut ter and a most accommodating person in his position. The trade always found him obliging Hint' painstaking and in fact he would go out of bis way to do a customer n favor. Asa citizen he was quiet and uuasumlng and in fact his tragic doath was indeed a surprise to all. But stranga things happen and human life is one of the deepest problems the' sage and philosopher have' over attempted to solve. A alstar of tho deceased, Mrs, Lizxie Grnvatte. of Waterloo Iowa, arrived Sun day only to me her brother in death, and tin tender derotions of her and the surviving brother show how affectionate were the ties that bound them together. Poor Michael, his weakness was the cause of his premnture end New City Appointees. ' Tho meeting of the city council Tues day night wns interesting as well as amusing and from the proceedings thereof it is evident that Mayor Bow man han had difficulty in finding men who come up to his standard of pro ficiency for the positions to which they were appointed. M. A. Shay was appointed street commissioner to snccccd J. A. Rodgers whose services wore dispensed with. The commissioner will furnish n team and his salary waa fixed at Siso per monthf) Tho mayor found it necessary a month ago to lot out Mr. Marr, citv marshal, nnd since then Al Wiker, night wutch, has comprised the entire police foice, doing both day and night work. It was expected by manv that at this meeting of the council Mr. Wiker would he appointed to succeed Mt. Ila.r, but far from it he was laid on the top shelf and Neitl Boon got tho prize. Mr. Boon was appointed mar shal nnd there will he no other night officer. v Immediately after Mr. Boon's appointment was announced, Mr. Wiker wanted to know why he was turned down and receiving no nnswer he placed his star and keys on tho table before the council and in a few minutes Mr. Boon hnd taken of office, given bonds and the oath became a full-fledged officer of tho law. Rev. Father Galvin will leave next Sunday night for his long journey actoss the ocean. In company with three other priests he will sail early next month on an Anchor Line steamer for Naples, Italy, shipping from New York. Pather Galvin expects to be absent till next November. and it is the wish of his host of Alliance friends that the visit to the land of sunny Italy, where he spent so many happy stu dent days, will be enjoyable and that when he stands at the memorable place, where good St. Peter was accosted by our Lord, and returned to his post in the wicked Roman city, Father Galvin will likewise remember us sinners in Alliance and return rejuvenated and with renewed spirits take" up the work of the Master among us. During his absence from the Church of the Holy Rosary, he will be succeeded by Rev, Father Barry of Ponca, wno arrived today. Dr. L. W. Bowman is home from his eastern trip. While away he visited the World's fair and relates interesting inci dents of tho big show. He says the exhib its are fine and there is every chance to unload all the small change one is able to carry there. The people are pouring into the city at a tremendous rate every dav. Dr. Bowman also visited Chicago, and invested in an X-ray machine, which he has long desired. The new purchase has arrived and weighs about 1000 pounds. The cost was $500. The use of this ma chine it is hardly necessary to describe, as they have been in popular use for some time by the leading surgeons and physi cian of the world. Tho marriage of Charles H. Loomis to Miss Pearl Benedict occurred Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents in Northeast Alliance, Rev.
