LIVELY TIME AT
MASS MEETING
Citizens' Meeting Held Monday Night
Largely Attended and Financial
Condition Discussed.
What to do about raising funds "was
the nll-iuiportant question that called
a large' crowd of Alliance citizens to
the city hall last Monday evening. In
fact the assembly room on the second
floor was not adequate for the attend
ance and even the hallway was jammed
to its extreme capacity. Mayor Smith
and the city council had announced
through the columns of The Herald
last week the purpose of this mee'tiug,
namely, the desire of the citizens of
Alliance in regard to the council's pro
cedure for the coming year and the
best way to raise funds since the saloon
license had been cut off.
Mayor Smith rapped for attention
promptly at eight o'clock and explained
tersely the call and then started the
ball rolling by calling on Ira Tash for
an expression as to what, in his judg
ment, was best to do. Mr. Tash re
sponded by stating that the present
condition of affairs in the municipal
treasury was such that the city's pro
gress would not be hampered in the
least and called for a careful, judicious
government of the same. The taxable
valuation of town property has increas
ed fully 15 per cent and this with the
amount on hand would sec the way
clear for future necessity. Mr. Tash
stated that he would cite the increased
valuation of residence property by his
own holdings, which was from $1500 to
$2500 in the past year, and he was
fully satisfied with the same. The
First National Bank propertywas also
cited at an increase in valuation from
3io,ooo to Si 6,000.
Louis Bucchscnstein, who has served
the city as mayor for two terms and
councilman one term, took exception to
Mr. Tash's views of increased valuation
and boldly asserted that while he was
not an auctioneer, he then and there
would offer his real estate in the city
to any one present at 75 cents on the
dollar, and asked if there were any
takers. These remarks caused a great
deal of cheering and hand-clapping. t
Mayor Smith next invited expression
from R. M. Hampton, who spoke at
length of the city's'growth from infancy
and the many years - of trials and
struggles it underwent only to find itself
one of the foremost cities of the state.
He eulogized Mr. Buechsenstein on
his administration of city affairs while
he was mayor and then entered iuto
the financial condition of the discussion.
He stated that before a definite con
clusion ol taxation could be arrived at
it would be necessary to investigate the
city's expenses and funds on hand, also
those of the school district, aud thought
that this meeting was rather premature
for the same. All of which was appar
ent before the meeting had progressed
much further. The fact that there
was held by the county treasurer 3,
421.32 belonging to the city was an
nounced and this was news to many
present. In the same treasury there is
a water fund amounting to 32,832.41
and city hall fund of 3915.92, both of
which are not available for current ex
penses of the city. On request, Clerk
Barnes announced that the city's fund
on hand is 3283.34, making a. total of
33,706.56. The outstanding indebted
ness in unpaid registered warrants
amounts to 33,219, leaving a net bal
ance in the treasury of 3486.77. With
about 33iOoq uncollected back taxes
due the city of Alliance, which if .it
is said will be available, Mr. Hampton
thought there was little cause for alarm
on account of financial stringency.
However, there was much information
lacking to get to the basis of running
expenses of the city.
S. K. Warrick was next called upon
to give his views on matters pertaining
to the future condition of governmental
affairs'. Mr. Warrick was subjected to
'much cross-firing, but he was calm and
self-possessed throughout his talk.
Like the financier that he is, he waded
iuto financial detail that soon showed
that a committee would have to be ap
pointed to investigate the city's con
dition during the past three years in
order to arrive at a basis on which to
proceed. Mr. Warrick was of the
opinion that city warrants would always
be worth their face value, and he
thought as far as the school district
was concerned that too would come out
all right.
On motion of Judge Bullock, a com
mittee of three, to be appointed by the
chair, was carried, to make the neces
sary investigation and report the same
to the city papers for publication. On
this commitee Mayor Smith appointed
Messrs. F. W. Harris, F. J. Brennan
and Frank A. Pierson. This committee
will go over tho city and school fund
for that period of time, also investigate
the expenses incurred duiing the three
years. When this body is prepared to
report a clearer understanding as to
what is needed will be had.
In the meantime it may bo said that
as far gcttiug results, tho meeting was
not a complete success. However, tho
discussion was wholesome and in the
right direction andi it is just such gath
erings of citizens that make good gov
eminent. Mayor Smith was level
headed when he made, the call. It
speaks of a democratic spirit in which
tho voice bf the people is heard. Raise
the lid of governmental affairs every
once in awhile and invito each tax
payer to take a look into the affairs of
state. Keep nothing under cover, and
this seems to be Mayor Smith's motto.
As he said at the meeting Monday
night, "Tho people want a dry town,
and they will get what they voted for
during my administration."
Since completing the report of the
Monday night meeting, wo are pleased
to be able to give the readers of The
Herald the complete resume of the
committee appoiuted to make a report
of the receipts and disbursements of
the city of Alliance covering a period
of three years, which is as follows:

F. W. HARRIS, Chairman.
Prof. A. P. Garnott, Hypnotist
There is an excellent attraction at the
Phelan opera house this week, Prof.
Garnett, the eminent and well known
hypnotist, opened a week's engagement
in the opera house Tuesday night. The
house was crowded and the audience
convinced that the entertainment given
is well worth the price of admission.
It is a strictly moral, dean and educa
tional one, to which everyone, including
ladies aud children, can attend with the
assurance that nothing is presented that
will in any way offend the most sensi
tive person. The interest being taken
by the large crowds attending each per
formance is proof of the genuineness of
the professions of Prof. Garnett. The
engagement closes Saturday night. Ad
mission 10 and 35 cents to all parts of
the house.

LINCOLN'S JOKE.
Fixing trw Ftoepontlbillty For tb Low
of Harpers Forry.
President Lincoln's Johrw, espcdnlly
when pentmted In connection -with
grave matters, usually had n parpon
In thorn. After Ieo hnd taken Har
pers Ferry the president, realizing how
great n calamity It was to the north
ern nrms, determined, If possible to fix
the responsibility for the loss of th
important position.
Hnlleck was summoned, but did not
know where tho btnmo lny. "Very
well," said Lincoln, "I'll nsk General
Schenck." Tho hitter could throw no
light upou tho question, further thau
to Bay that he was not to blnuio. Mil
roy was tho next to be called to tho
presonco of tho commander In chief
nnd to enter n plea of "not guilty."
Hooker was next given n hearing, and
"Fighting Joe" mndo a very cmphntlc
disclaimer of nil responsibility.
Then the president assembled tho
four genernls In his room nnd said to
thorn: "Gentlemen, Hnrpors Ferry was
surrendered nnd nouo of you, It seems,
Is responsible. I am very anxious to
discover the mnn who Is." After strid
ing across tho room .sevorul times tho
president suddenly throw up his bow
ed head nnd exclaimed: "I hnvo Itl I
know who 1b responsible!"
"Who, Mr. President; who Is It?"
nsked tho distinguished quartet iib they
looked anxious, If not troubled.
"Gentlemen," snld tho president,
with u meaning twinkle hi his eye,
"General Leo Is tho num."
There was n lack of mirth in tho
laugh created, and tho four generals
took their departure with n determina
tion that they would not ngnln bo
plncod under suspicion.
SLEEP MYSTERIES.

"One can lecome so nccuBtomed," ho

coollcB, men who turn n fun nil night
long in tho hot weather whllo their
English masters rest, and it is not un
common for a punka cooly to acquire
tho knack of Bleeping nt his task. On
nnd on ho sleeps through tho hot, per
fumed hours of tho Indian night, but
his hand mechanically and Bteadlly
turns the punka pulley.
"Men havo composed great literary
works in their Bleep. Colerldgo's 'Ku
bin Khan' Is the most fnnious oxamplo
of this; but, then, Colorldgo was n
morphluomaniac, and his sloop was
scarcely natural. But R. L. Stevenson,
Corclli and Longfellow havo also dono
good work while sleeping.
"Divers BoinetlineB fall asleep deep

When you wish to mail a letter on the
