A nrsNVKU parson says:

Ir the Missouri 'logiBlaturo dally
much tengor over the election of a U.
S. Senator, that state will be rips to
emulate the example of Nebraska and
elect a senator by tho people, or como
as near it as the law will potniit.
Formkr fusion candidnte Borgc has
prepared a bill to bar railroad passes
but a3 yet haB found no one to intro
duce it. Wonder what has become of
tho nine fusion members of the legisla
ture. Let us hope they have not nil
acquired the pass habit.
A statu association has been foun
cd in Illinois for the purpose of check
ing tho spread of tuberculosis. A bet
ter way would be to send them to Al
liance or northwest Nebraska whetc
climatic conditions prevent its spread,
and sjiccdily euros the afllicted.
The Nebraska cditoiial association
will meet at M A. Brown's Keaincy
Hub" town, Feb. 21. and 22, and every
men of us with the price will be there,
to learn new methods and exchange
ideas that will help each of us to pub
lish a better paper the coming year.
It is a fitting way to celebrate the birth
of tho man who fust graced tho presi
dential chair.
LoNi.ur.88 has been spending enough
time on tha Snioot ease to have enact
ed much needed legislation nnd appar
ently are 110 ncmrcr tosulta than when
tjit began; Sinoot is not a bigamist
and if ho were he is not half so bad as
a lot uf others who maintain illicit ioIo
tion under a cloud. If the refonneis
want to reform lot tlwm iliegin to4edu
cafe tho i hting generation to right liv
in;, lather than attempt to abridge the
right of others to believe as they will.
TJn purpose of the unti-Smootitos is
to gie publicity to a biihch of self styl
ed moralibt. Sinoot has a light to
think as ho pleases as long as he con
forms to tho laws of the land, as well
as you have the right to be an atheist,
an infidel or a christian.
Some local pessimistic publications
are disgruntled because Tun Herald
advocates sewerage for Allianco and
the erection of public or piivnto build
ingsthat could be used for similar
purposes as those already constructed.
Now keep your shirts on brefliren 1 If
the erection of a three story block by
Norton is going to hurt the town wo
fail to sec how. If tho building of a
sewerage plant will hurt ttie town wo
fail to see in what manner. True
thcie may ho a little additional taxa
tion but who would refute to pay it
that owns proporty here or oxpects to
make Allianco his future home. A
new Federal building might cause the
syndicate block to lose a government
tenant ami Simouson who owns the
port office building might have to got a
now tenant, but is that any valid
reason why no more building should by
done ? Neither will the establishment
of an Elks club here interfere in any
a with the present commercial or
business men's club, nor the quartet
they ocoupy. There h room for both.
Neither of you would object to another
dr goods or clothing store, where you
could hope to get a piece of tho buti-
I liess they would bring, and yet you
I kick when public improvements aro
advocated by Tun Huralu. Shame
on you.
More Fisli Needed.
Tho members of tho legislature from
the western part of Nebraska should
not hesitate to suppoi t Senator Laver
ty's bill for increased facilities and im
provement at the state fish hrtohsrtes.
If they will glance at the rort r
1 Supt. O'Brien of that institution, at
tracts will show that during the past
two years 18,956,000 wall-eyed pike
have been distributed iu the tttoa ns
of Nebraska, Next in number were
the rainbow trout, totaling 346,000,

The City of
H'
LLIANCE is a thriving city of
perous and glowing prospects
of Omaha, 23C miles north of
western Nebraska. It has wator works, electric lights, a three story city
hall and fire engine house, first class fire company and apparatus. Two
large school buildings; employs twenty teachers to educate its 1000
school children. Seven churches. U. S. land office, Court house, two
National Banks, modern business blocks and handsome residences. Its
railroad facilities are the best. It is on the main line of the Burlington
from cither Chicago or Ht Louis to Portland and the Pacific coast. It
Is tho Division headquarters for western Nebraska, Wyoming, South Da
kota and Montana, the offices of General Superintendent Rhodes having
been recently located here. The western division shops arc located
here and more than 600 railroad men arc' employed here. Its people
arc hospitable, enterprising, and intelligent. Its climate is healthful and
invigorating. In short, no town in Nebraska presents superior induce
ments for men of capital, enterprise nnd push, to locate within her
bordors Letters of inquiry addressed to the Alliance Hsrai.o will be
nnswered promptly and in detail. Better write for a copy of our hand
some twenty-four page Illustrated Industrial edition, it will tell you more
than we could write you in a month. '

while the brook trout came next with
292.000. Those are the only species
which came ovor the 100,000 mark,
it is the policy of the department to
plant game fish as much as prnc
ticablo. A large percentage of the entire
num-ber Idistributed during the two
years, 19,881.061, wero placed in the
clear sandy bottomed streams in the
western pnit of the state. Six-month-old
croppios to the number of 87.775 were
distributed also. The department
also distributed 23440 eightccn-montliH
old catfish, 22,200 of the samo species
one year old and 16,590 yellow bull
heads. The waning popularity of the
Gorman carp is shown by tho fact that
only 750 fry wero distributed, and 2,3Go
of the six-monlhsold fish and 775 of
tho one-year-old fish. During the
two years the fishery distiibutcd 5,309
gold, silver and pcail fish.
ThoNiobara, th'e White, the Elkhorn
and the Loup rivers have secured most
of those supplies, and the time is near,
if we foster tho industry, when rainbow
trout, wall eyed pike and black bass
will bo within .the reach of ordinary
mortals, while now only the wealthy
can indulge in thii kind of luxury.
COUNTY OPTION.
The proposed change of the Slocuui
Law which provides for county option
instead of local option doos not- mut
with public fuvor in any comniunity
in which The Uer.vio editor is famil
iar. Tho Slocum luw as it now stands
is good enough if on f 01 cud. If the
county option advocates want to rog
ulftto the liquor trufic in the county
outside tho cities or incorporated vil
lagw let them elect a board of county
commissioners who will give them
county option, "then let the citv or vil
lage elect to have tho kind of option
that suits the majotity ot the icspec
tivo communities.
It is manifestly unfair for one com
munity to pro ide regulation for an
ottici. The old and well established
principle of allowing every man to vote
as he pleases is embodied in the con
stition and is tho principle for which
our forefathers fought, and for us to
arrogate to ourselves the right to say
what others shall eat and drink is
against the well defined principles of
American citizenship.
Another phase of the situation and
an important one is this. So long as
as intoxicants ure made they will be
sold license or no license, and there is
no excuse for allowipg "blind pigs"
"holo in the walls" and drug stoies to
dispense tho stuff without regulation
to a class of patrons who cannot secure
it under tho present system, to say
nothing of the revenue derived from
the present law. By all means retain
the present Slocum law but onforce it.

east of town Friday moruiug Feb. 3rd at
i 25 o'clock.
Mr. Britton suffered a second stroke of
paralysis a couple of weeks since, the firM
stroke having been three or four years ago.
He was in the field getting a load'of feed
and was driving a friaky team. He had
pretence of mind enough to wrap the lines
nrlmnd his arm and thus held the team
until help camo probably an hour or more
later; he lost the power of speech and his left
side was completely paralyzed. He ral
lied rapidly and soon became able to write
and thus make his wants' known. About
this time he received a committee of Ins
brother Masons from Alliance which he
greatly appreciated. On Tuesday evening
he was stricken again nnd this time the
paralysis extended to the lungs and hope
was abandoned. He passed away the net
Friday morning, very peacefully, the im
mediate cause of his death being oxygen
starvation. He was unconscious for sev
eral hours preceding .his death.
Mr, Britton was not a memcar of any
church but always supported and encour
aged tu3 work of the church which he at
tended. Ho was a thoroughly good man.
His neighbors say that no one could have
been a better neighbor than he.
He was born near Woodstock, Canada
Co years ago a.nd came to Michigan at the
age of 20. He has been a resident of this
county for more than 20 years. He was
married twice and had one child by each
marriace. His oldest son is dead but
I leaves a son who lives in Michigan. His

Ranchmen are having hard work getting

be found.
Some miscihevious boy or boy's like to
