Following is clipped from an extend ed obituary notice in tho News-Blade, written bv the father of the deceased: "He will over live in the memory of his parents and sisters as a joyous, generous hearted boy, who gave every promise of developing into a noble manhood. The days and years will come and go; gradually we will gather up the broken threads of human iutor est, and endeavor to go on with our work; but life will never again be to us what it was before- A whole lifetime of uninterrupted joy and gladness would not weigh in the balance against one hour of tbe anguish that now wrings our hearts. "But in tho sorrow which has fallen upon us we have learned the lesson of life. Our eyes havo been opened and through our tears we have realized for the first time the duty we owe to God and to our neighbors. The heartfelt sympathy and assistance which has been showered so freely upon this stricken family have not fallen upon barren ground. Each act of kindness, acli offer of sympathy, each tear that ninglcd so freely with our own, will bo cmcmbcrcd with profound gratitude. e thank God that our lives have been ast in Bridgeport and that we arc sur- outidcd with such noble, generous and ympathctic people. While life lasts o win leei too ooiigaiions we owe icm and it will ever be our aim to atch for opportunities to show our iprcciation and gratitude. The funeral took place from the me at 2 o'clock on Monday after on, April 5th, the services beitiEcon cted by Rev. J. B. Burke of tho esbyterian church with which Stewart ntified his young life on arriving in idgeport." Not a "Roorback" 1V0 recently received a request from a gentleman at bouth (Jmana tor a sample copy of The Herald, which we sent. We have just received tho fol lowing from him, which, as tbe election is past, can hardly be called a "roor back:" "South Omaha, Nobr., April 0, MCO. pear Sir: I have your issue of April 1st and see you hare the saloon light on. Will you plcnso send mo a copy of vour paper slnco your city election?

Mrs. Ethel Blanch Piester, wife of H. H. Piester of Pull man, Nebr., was brought to tho Alli ance Hospital April 1, '09, for an operation, from which she did not recover but passed away April 5. She leaves a husband and 14-months old boy, besides parents, six brothers and seven sisters.

She was married Nov, 29, 1906, to Hiram Piester, at the homo of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Phillips, who resided in Alliance at that time, but who now live near the Valley church. Four years ago she was bap tized and with her husband Joined the Methodist church, since which time she lived a consistent Christian life. Death is always an occasion of sad ness, but when it enters a home and takes therefrom the young wife and mother it seems doubly sad. All the plans and expectations for a life devot ed to family and friends thwarted, hopes blasted, tbe loved one gone never to return; but there is consolation in tbe hope of a reunion in a laud of hap piness by and by. The Herald extends sympathy to the bereaved friends and the wish that they may have the couso lation of those who have hope for a better world in the great hereafter. Agricultural Experimentation in Box Butte County The Danger of Impure Seed Tho Department of Agriculture at Washington is co-operntlnfr with the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in the examination of seeds for purity and germinating' power. Prof. Hunt sent a sample he obtained from one of the farmers near AlUnnce, to Lincoln for examination purposes. This seed was bought of a .Milwaukee seed house for sand alfalfa seed and a corresponding price was paid for it. The examination shows that it is only common alfulfa, that it tests, only 00 per cent pure seed, and that in one pound of same there are approximate ly, 3,000 Ituckhorn Plantain seeds, STO Ureen Fox-tail seeds, 270 Lttmb's-quar-tcrs seeds, 180 Knot weed seeds, 00 wild carrot seeds In addition to this, one pound of tho sample contained 1,350 seeds of tho common red clover. Whoever sows this seed at the rate of 10 pounds per acre, will bo sowing 477 weed seeds to the square rod. The test for germination has not as yet hcen made and will bo reported later. The ituckhorn Plantain and Wild Carrott aro among the most dangerous weeds that infest the land. It cost one farmer 5500.00 to get rid of Duckhorn Plantain that had been brought upon his farm through adulterated clover seed. The farmers of Box Butte county should use especial caro not to lot these noxious weeds get a foothold here The result of the above examination is given as n warning to the farmers of the danger they would run in, not knowing what kind of seed they arc bowing. Prof. Hunt will bo glad to submit for examination any samples of seed that may be furnished him. Important Meeting of Stockmen Last week The Herald published a letter from Dr. A. T. Peters of the Ne braska State University stating that he, accompanied by Dr. P. Juckiness, state veterinarian; Dr. E. W. Howe, chief of the quarantine division; and Prof. E. W. Hunt, will be in Alliance on Monday, April 19th, the object of the visit being to meet and consult with the stockmen with a view to as certaining ways tind means of eradicat ing mange and other diseases, and thus securing the release by the Federal government of this state from quaran tine. Accordingly R. M. Hampton, president of tbe Western Nebraska Stock Growers' association, has called a meeting of all interested parties to be held in the Commercial Club room, in the basement of the Phelan block, next Monday at 2 o'clock p-m. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance. Prof. Hunt makes tho following timely statement to The Herald re porter in regard to this matter: "If cattlemen have any grievances in regard to the quarantine and sanitary laws, now 19 the time for them to make this heard. It is to be hoped that the cattlemen will turn out in force and thoroughly air their grievances. It might be well to suggest that they se lect one or two of their most capable men to represent them at this meeting nnd put forth the ranch side of these conditions. Tho state veterinarian, who has this matter in charge, is com ing on a tour of inspection, and at this meeting will be afforded tho first and only chance for the cattlemen's side of the question to be hrought to his at tention. It cannot be asserted that nny change can be brought about, but we are assured that Mr. Juckiness is a fair-minded man nnd will do everything for tho cattle interest that is in his power."

Dr. W- K. Miller has sold his house and lot on Idaho street to A. J. Dwyer. County Commissioner J. M. Wanek favored the Herald with a pleasant call while in the city attending the meeting of county commissioners tiiis week. A four-year-old Alliance lad, who will no doubt step into the shoes of Prof. Hunt, the agriculturalist, in some future day, noticed the activity of the neighbors in making a garden- Inspir ed with the idea of what glorious re sults would come from the planting of seeds, asked his mother for a handful of bird seed, stating that a good crop of canary birds could be grown there from. Charles Ferris, of the firm of Ferris & Essay, left on No. 44 yesterday for Omaha to attend the funeral of a cousin. He will be gone over Sunday. Mrs. W. J- Hamilton was a Chndron visitor Easter Sunday, returning last Monday accompanied by her mother, who visited here till yesterday, when she returned to her home. Those la dies report a strong sentiment and active work on (he part of Crawford people to secure the new state noimal school, which indicates that we. too. must toot our born loudly if we wish to be heard in the interest of the best town in northwest Nebraska Alliance. Five new subscriptions to Tho Her ald the day after election is not had for an off day. J. A. Keegan, one of the men who is doing experimental farming under the direction of Prof. Hunt, is an old news paper man, having until about a year ago been publisher of a paper at Axtell, Kans- He favors The Herald with an occasional call which we always ap preciate.

Dunning is spending a few weeks at Sandera, Mont., where he has interests to look after.

Box Butte County OKA E. PHILLIPS, COUNTY Mis Nina Nation of the Maryland schools attended the association at Craw ford Saturday. The Alliance high school examination wai postponed from last Thursday until Monday of this week. Miss Anna Murphy closed a five months' term of school in the Burke school district No. 23 last Friday, There are only five pupils in the district and as those are all Mr. Burke's, school is conducted at their home, one room being fitted up for that purpose. The ninth grade class in the Marsland schools took up the study of book-keeping last Monday. The eighth grade also be gan with agriculture the same day. The Marsland pupils, who took the eighth grade examinations, were among the best in the county. School was closed in Dist. 38, where Mrs. Clifford teaches, last Monday on ac count of the mumps. There was to have been another month of school but on ac count of this sickness it was thought best to dismiss for the year. Some of these pupils expected to complete the eighth grade this year but it may be impossible for them to do so now. Two tennis courts have been built Just north of the high school building by the Alliance high school students which are second to none in the town A schedule wiy be arranged by G. H Williams, phy sical director, whereby each member of the club will be assigned a time playing and for instruction. This is a splendid move and will afford a means of amuse ment and ot physical development so es sential to our high school students Deputy State Superintendent P. S. Per due and Luther Mumford stopped in Al liance Sunday on their return from the association at Crawford. Thev started south Monday morning with the intentions of visiting at Sidney, Bridgeport, Scotts bluff and other points along the Guernsey line before returning to their homes in Lincoln. Supt. Perdue has several friends in and near Alliance and says he wishes to bring his wife here in ihe near future and spend a week visiting them, looking over the country and getting better acquainted with the peop e. We extend a hearty wel come and hope these wishes will material ize. Miss Jessie Hacker closed a very success ful seven months term of school in the Berea school district No. 13 last Friday This is the first term of school conducted in the fine new school house which was built last summer at a cost of $Soo. Miss Hacker did not say whether or not she would accept this school next year but we are hoping she will. Fifty dollars was the salary paid this year and perhaps an eight months term will be maintained next ear. Miss Hacker will spend a week visiting friends, near Hemingford, before going to her home at Hot Springs, S Dak. She expects to return for summer school. Miss Edna Benedict,' who teaches in Dist. No. 34, reports much better attend ance in her school since nice weather. During thawing we" .Her the creek was so high that at times it was impossible for some of the pupils to attend. This school has just received the library books for the amount of money required by law to be spent for library books. Twelve new books were added to the library and the cost was $5.00. Considerable work should be done toward the repairing of the school property in this district and, if possible, a new school house should be built Patrons, you should talk this matter up among your selves and see if something could be done in the way of improvements before another school year. Asbury whitaker closed a very success ful six months' term of school in the Cal Lammon district last Friday. A program was rendered by the pupils, and several visitors and patrons from thai and adjoin ing districts were present. This is Mr, Whitaker's first term of school in the west he having recently come here from Indiana where he had taught several terms, Mr. Whitaker has been successful in this work here and has aroused the pupils of his school to strive for excellence and perfect ness. Much interest was taken in spell ing and Edna Shepherd of the eighth grade class made the best record, having missed only one word during the entire term. There were four pupils in the eighth grade and all passed tne examina tion. Miss Nellie Coffin closed her term of school in the Clark district northeast of Hemingford last Friday and left Wednes day for her home near Genoa. Miss Coffin has certainly taught an excellent school. She had only six. pupils but thev did work and made advancement second tq none in the county. A program was given on the last day of school and several of the par ents and friends were present. The county superintendent received a very neat invi tation that had been prepared by the pu pils, but regrets that it was impossible to attend. Miss Coffin stopped in Alliance on her return home and filed her reports, which were properly filled out. She will attend summer school at the Wesleyan University this summer and will return to teach in this county again the uext school year. Junior Normal Inquiries Several inquiries have been received from teachers relative to junior normal work this year Those from a distance art Grace Douglas, Harlan county, Ellen Mil ler, Spearfish. S. D., and others We regret that even at this late date we are unable to give any information re garding this work as the junior normals are now under the jurisdiction of the state board of education, which has taken no action in this yet. They will meet, how ever, on April 14th and it Is hoped that arrangements will be made at that time relative to the junior normal work. Do You Expect to Build a New School House This Year? School district No. 15 is now out of debt and when the taxes for this year are in they will have about S175 on hand. It would be a good time for this district to figure on building a now school house. A new law was passed by the last legislature giving the voters, of a school district power to levy a tax not to exceed ten mills for the pur pose of accumulating u building fund. This tax is entirely separate from tho tweuty-fivo mill school tax that cau be levied. This is no doubt a good law for certain districts, but it seems to the writer that It would be much cheaper School Department SUPFRINTENDENT, EDITOR for the district to vote bonds, which, under the law giving the stato the right to Invest In school bonds, could be sold nt par and would draw only iH per cent Interest. Money Is worth 4& per cent to all the members of a school district and there would be no wultlng for tho money to accumulate before tho school house could be built. I would theieforo suggest that school bonds be voted where a new school house is to be built. Last Basket Bali Game of the Season The last basket ball games of the season will be played next Friday and Saturday evenings at the high school gymnasium. The game Friday night will be the Alliance high school vs. the Alliance fire boys, and Saturday night will be Alliance high school vs. Bridgeport high school. Special gym nastic exercises consisting of calesthenics, apparatus work and girls' basket ball will be an additional feature of these programs. Season tickets will admit you to these games and single admission 23 cents. These are the last games of the season and you should arrange to attend. Wedding Bells Last evening at 8 o'clock at the Baptist parsonage in this city occurred tho wedding of two of Alliance'3 estim able young people, Mr- Chester Rodg ers to Miss Grace C. Watson, Rev. J. M. Huston officiating. Bert Rodgers, brother ot the groom, acted as best man, and Miss Merle Castle as brides maid. There were also present two brothers of tho bride, Messrs- E. A. and Lucian Watson After the ceremony had been per formed and congratulations and best wishes tendered, the company repaired to the home that had been provided and furnished by the groom on Miss ouri avenue where they partook of a bountiful supper.
