PEACEFUL
PRIMARIES
Nothing Occurs to Ruffle
the Political Contest
Mollring and Pilkington Nominated for
County Treasurer, Cox and Wiker
for Sheriff.
The vote in Box ltutto county nt the
primary election on Tuesday was very
light, owing1 partly to a lack of interest
aud partly to the fact that this is a
busy season and many voters thought
they could not spare the time from
their work to vote. There were but
four contesting candidates, two for
the democratic nomination for short IV,
Cal Cox and Thos. 15. Shrewsbury, and
two for the- republican nomination for
the same office, Al Wiker and Judge
Bullock. Returns have not been re
ceived from all precincts in the county
at the. time of going to press, but
enough are in to insure the nomina
tion of Cox and Wiker.
In the state primary there were but
three candidates for the three nomina
tions for supieme judge, John J. Sulli
van, 11. F. Good and James R. Dean.
There was a long list of republican
candidates for the three nominations,
and the latest information that we
have indicates the success of Judges
Barnes and Sedgwick, with Fawcett of
Omaha and Hamer of Kearney run
ning close.
Moved Into Fine
New Business Block
The Palace Meat Market was removed
last night into its handsome new quar
ters just north of the old location on
BoxButte avenue, and we aro proud to
state that Alliance has the finest and
most metropolitan meat market to be
found in the state with but few excep
tions. The building, just completed,
is an honor to the integrity and pride
of the proprietor of the Palace Meat
Market, Mr. I. W. Ilciman, who shows
himself a permanent rebident by this
substantial Improvement. Everything
is complete in this new meat market.
The modern cooling plant, the smok
ing and meat-curing departments, also
the sausage-making features. The best
machinery is employed and particular
attention is directed to wholesome and
sanitary conditions. It is worth your
while to Inspect this place.
We congratulate Mr. Herman upon
the completion of his new quarters,
hoping that his efforts in the interest
of our city will be appreciated by in
creased patronage.
Sanford Dodge
Next Week
Attention is called to the advertisement
in another column for the Sanfoid Dodge
performances at the Phelan opera house,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week,
Aug. 24 and 25. Mr. Dodge has organized
a company of excellent professional players
and they are rehearsing daily in the opera
house, preparing to open the season here
in Alliance from which place they make
all bookings for the season and will start
out on the road directly after their en
gagement in Alliance. This is the first
time that Alliance has been made head
quarters for a theatrical organization and
people should show their appreciation by
giving Mr, Dodge and company a royal
welcome.
Favors Alliance
for State Normal
From Scotu Bluff Republican, Ads. 13:
Prof. Hunt of Alliance was in the
city yesterday securing siguers ior a
petition to the State Board of Educa
tion for the location of the State Nor
mal school which will be located be
tween Sept. ist and 10th, at some
place in tbe sixth congressional district.
The towns competing for the school
are Alliance, Crawford, Chadron, Val
entine and O'Neill. Alliance is the
most centrally located of any of these
towns and should receive the strong
support of this section of the country.
Being on the main lino of the Burling
ton and at the terminus of the Denver
branch, it has the advantage oi being
the only railroad center. Having suc
cessfully conducted a Junior Normal
for the past four years it has shown a
worthy interest in schtnrf work and the
public in general appreciates the enter
prising spirit of its citizens. The State
Hoard of Education can not make a
better choice than Alliance.
From Mit-hetl Intloxi
The last legislature passed n law for
the establishment of auothor normal
school in Nebraska. Alliance, with
commendable enterprisers endeavoring
to hava the school located in that city.
We hope the move will bo successful
and wo believe the whole North l'latto
valley feels the same about it. West
ern Nebraska should have such a
school, and no other location is so
suitable as Alliance.
From OurlnK Courier, Auk. 13:
W. W. Norton of Alliance was in
the city yesterday aud asked that the
citizens of this place assist in getting
Alliance named as the scat of the new
normal school about to be located by
the state. So far as we are concerned,
we think such a school at Alliance will
bo better located than at any other
point mentioned, and certainly far
better for the people of this section.
Mr. Norton is 0110 of the old timers
and is pretty well acquainted over this
way. r.
You Are Invited

for our readers:
" Wo are going to have a fair at
Rushvillo tho 22, 23, 2 J, of September.
Our premium lists are not quite finish
ed, but wo are at work on them ut
present and I will be' pleased to send

fident that it can be inado to pay Its
way and have a little left in the jack
