In Open Competition with Every Furniture Dealer.
A Clipping from the Alliance
"It should not be forgotten that when
the Elks recently bought their furniture,
that local dealers in competition with
Omaha and Chicago merchants carried
off all the business. In one case six
tables were bought and one of the Al
liance dealer's prices f. o. b. Alliance
was as low as the same goods were
quoted by Chicago merchants f. o. b.
Chicago, and yet the freight on each of
these tables was $1.81. The same is
true in most other lines. You can save
money by patronizing home merchants."

our establishment. Come and figure with the OLD RELIABLES.

Romero, the forger, was landed in the
Sidney jail Saturday night by Sheriff
Lee, who brought him back from Buf

over the idea that a Bridgeport banker

clear that he will land behind the bars

Score One For Alliance.
James B. Gray and T. J. O'Keefe
were at Lincoln last Sunday attending
an initiation of a class of about eighty
candidates into the Knights of Colum
bus. While the work and banquet
were interesting and pleasant, it was
the general opinion of those present
that the "boys in Alliance" led their
brethren of the capital city in their
like initiatory work and as to the ban
quet, the Alliance ladies put the Lin
coln banquet in the shade. In fact
those who attended the' same here ex
press themselves by conceding that
the banquet here was the finest they
had participated in, in the state.

Bankers Convene.
The men who handle the finance of
the Northwest met at the opera house
yesterday afternoon to discuss ways
and ineans and elect officers. The
officers elect are: C. A. Minnick, of
Crawford, president, S. K. Warwick, of
Alliance, vice president, W. B, Mc
Queen, of Hay Springs, secretary
treasurer. There were but fifteen of tho-f&reign
bankers present hut they put in the
time to good advantage, relating each
other experiences in caring for the
money entrusted to them.
No doubt the most enjoyable feature
of the day's meet was the banquet at
Hotel Charters in the evening. 'Fred
Nye, the genial host, has won a repu
tation as the finest banquet caterer iu
the west, and his spread for the hun
gry "bankers and their friends demon
strated his right to the reputation.
Covers were laid for thirty guests.
R. C. Noleman presided as toastmaster
and all the "cupon clippers" respond
ed in a happy vein as well as a number
of citizens who were present. At n
o'clock a toast was drank to the guests
of the city and the meeting adjourned.
City Council Meet.
The city council met last night and
transacted a big batch of routine busi
ness. Among other things, Council
man Joder's resignation was accepted.
He has recently been promoted to a
passenger ruu on the Sterling division
and has removed there, henco his res
ignation. The vacancy was filled by
the appointment of L. F. Smith to fill
the unexpired term. They also vetoed
the matter of a street fair that has been
advertised here and the promoters have
gone. The council believes that the
celebration here tho fourth is plenty,
and they do not propose to license a
parcel of traveling fakirs.
Sidewalks and crossings petitioned
for, were left with committees for in

inson. His bride is tho daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. 'Paulson of the Hila
Grand and is a most estimable young
lady. Some of Joe's close friends
claim they Whew of tho intentions of
tho young couple, but there is no
doubt that the majority were not quite
so wise.

The baccalaureate sermon last Sun
day was listened to by a crowded
house at the Methodist church. The
first was an anthem by the choir, as
sisted by several musical instruments.
Rev. Dr. Bogue then read the scrip
ture from the second chapter of Daniel.
A song followed, sung by the choir.

mon was then delivered by Rev. Mc
Council, of the United Presbyterian
church, from Daniel 2-48, In well
chosen ' words ho spoke, urging the
graduating class to make a destination
for themselves, and holding up Daniel
iu all the stronger points, as an exam
ple to look to. Although the house
was too crowded, the services were
enjoyed and appreciated bv all present.
The sermon was followed by the song,
"My Country 'Tis of Thee' by the
congregation. Benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Roelnig, of the Ger
man Lutheran church. The class com
mencement exercises will take place

Mission at Holy Rosary Church.
Tho mission which was mentioned
to take place at Holy Rosy church this
week is well under way and the attend
mice each vlay and evening has been
large and the people take an active and
devout interest in the services and
sermons. The missionary fathers, Revs.
Lambert and Murphy, nro active and
devout' teachers and the sincerity in
which they enter into their work, is
sufficient to iuspiic everyone who lis
tens to their eloquence mid deep
thoughts expressed iuthe word of God.
The renowned lecturer, Father Lam
bert, whose wisdom is recognized from
ocean to ocean, has indeed been espec
ially endowed with a keen perception
of the teachings of Jesus Christ and
humanity's duties to its creator. The
mysteries of lifo nnd tho deep sense of
the spiritual world are made so plain
nnd intelligent (hat even a child can
understand. What ho docs not know
about human nature and all the. frail
tics lying in its path, nmounts to very
little. In the true sense, his intelli
gence is simply inspiration. .As is
said in the holy scripture, "A mnu of
God." Surely tho world would be
better if more such noble men were
engaged to enlighten mankind and ed
ucate the people in the true path of
honor nnd Godliness.
The mission services consist of mass
at 5:30 each morning followed by a
short sermon. In the afternoon at
4:00 o'clock, instructions are given for
little ones mid nt 7:30 thuiu is the
principal sermon of the day followed
bv cenidiction of tho Most Blessed
Sacrament. Tho mission concludes
next Sunday.

Swallowed a Staple.
While assisting his grandpa, Mr.
Hroicli, build a chicken fence one day
last week, the little 6011 of Mrs. Anna
Robinson swallowed a small, but sharp
pointed staple, which lodged low down
in his throat, causing intense pain to
tho lad. A physician was unable to
extract the obstacle and for a while it
looked" as if the boy would die, but
after eaitng a crust of bread the sta
ple passed down to the stomach and
since then no pain of dangerous symp
toms have developed- We need a
hospital.
