Regular Meeting of Woodmen of the
World Enlivened by Ceremony of
Introduction of Class. Another
Class Preparing for the Next
Meeting, September 8th.
Local interest in tho Woodmen of
the World had a splendid rise at tho
regular session of Maple Camp on
Wednesday tiight, when the state
deputy, who is in this locality, intro
duccd a class of candidates for intro
duction into tho mysteries of the order.
The business session opened prompt
ly at 8, o'clock, and the routine busi
ness followed promptly, so that tho
ceremony of introduction was begun at
9 o'clock and tho candidates marched
into tho hall in a body.
During the evening two very pleas
ing musical numbers were rendered by
Messrs. Camille Nolio, Fred Funk,
Bruce Mnllcry, nnd Misses Bculah
Smith and Honnio Thomas, nnd tho
appearance of these entertaining mu
sicians was roundly applauded and
their numbers highly appreciated by
those present.
Rev. J. N. Huston was called upon
to tnako a few fitting remarks acting as
spokesman for tho candidates aud his
talk was one which gave food for
thought tor old as well ns the new
members,
Following this the candidates re
ceived instruction in tho secret work of
the order aud a recess followed, which
period was given over to merriment nnd
partaking of the refreshments, which
tho entertainment committee had provided-
Another claBS adoption is scheduled
for the next regular meeting, Wednes
day, Sept. 8th, at which a number of
candidates have already petitioned for
a place.
Interest in the organization is steadi
ly increasing and the Woodmen aro
looking forward to the fall aud whiter
with considerable satisfaction for tho
reason that the field is ripe for consid
erable additional work, aud tho local
officers are determined to roll in all
suitable material that presents itself.
Encouraging Words
The editor ol Tho Herald recently
received a letter from Rev. G. C. Jef
fcrs of Mecklenburg, N. Y., formerly
pastor of the Baptist church at Alli
ance. It was so full of encouragement
and expressions of good will that we
think many of our readers will be inter
ested in the following extract from it:
The Herald is making its weekly
visits to our home in central New York.
We greatly enjoy the same, not only
for the news it brings concerning Alli
ance and ber people, which are in a
sense, my people, but for the editorial
comments on moral questions, particu
larly the temperance question. These
are fearless, common-sense and practi
cal. There is a wide field of useful
ness open before any paper of like
conviction, for all such aro molders of
a right public opinion, that sort of an
opinion which makes for the public
weal. Too many papers in these days
are like too many ministers of the gos
pel, waiting for the public opinion to
direct them instead of making and di
recting public opinion themselves,
Our best wishes are for the Herald and
its work.
We are glad to know of the sewer
age system going in at Alliance and of
other marks of enterprise being shown
which are all for the health and com
fort of her citizens.
We are also glad to report to you
that Mrs. Jeffers health is in excellent
condition. It has been several years
since she was aB free from her old
trouble as now, for which we feel very
thankful.
The Lord is blessing our work here.
July 25, I welcomed to the fellowship
of the church, fifteen new members;
twelve of the number having come into
the church by baptism. 262,11 have
been expended in improvements on the
church property. Although this is a
country parish, I am glad to be located
here, if the Lord will use me in build
ing up his kingdom of truth.
Last week, the three denominational
Sunday schools of the place held a un
ion picnic at Kayutah Lake, a very
SHOES
r
popular rcBort five miles away. Wish
Alliance lint so attractive a place for a
day's outing now and then. The cast
has ninny attractions to which the west
is Btranger, but tho climate of western
Nebraska is a big off-set for many
eastern advantages.
Our interests still cling to Alliance
and its people. Wo wish for you all
peace, comfort and prosperity. May
tho world be better because of tho good
people dwelling there.
Fulfilled Expectations
As previously announced in these
columns, San ford Dodge's new comedy

largo audiences both evenings were not
disappointed.

the following menu for a hot
summer day:
If you wnnt breakfast, dry
toast or a crusty roll, with
whatever beverage, preferably
cocoa, you like, may suilice.
Fruit or eggs may be added,
and some feel that they can
not get along without a chop
or a bit of steak.
For luncheon cold meat, sal
ad with little or no oil and
iced tea or lemonade are gen
erally enough.
For dinner a light eoup,
with fish, lamb, beef or game,
green vegetables, salad and

A story comes from Chicaco of a
shipment of eggs from Missouri which
when opened at Chicago, contained
fourteen young chickens alive and
healthy. As the eggs must have been
under a temperature of at least 100 de

a mystery where they had been all the
time. We do not know what road
they travelled over.
Tho North-Western railroad has
4
ordered 125 steel cars for passenger
service. This includes chair cars,
mail cars, diners and baggage cars. It
is only a question of a few years when
other roads will be adopting this style
of equipment. It is a common thing
in reading of a railroad accident to
see, "passengers in sleepers uninjured,"
or "the sleepers did not leave the
track," or some such phrase, which
goes to show that these cars, which
are so much more strongly and heavily
built than the ordinary chair car, are
safer and when placed in a train with
other cars, tend to give the other cars
the brunt of the blow in case of an
accident.
With the fiscal year ending June 30,
1909, the Burlington and Pennsylvania
railroads claim they have not had an
accident which caused the death of a
passenger. While we are not ac
quainted with conditions of the eastern
road, there are several things which
have helped to bring about this on the
Burlington. Uniform and not exces
sive speed for either freight or passen
ger trains, better care of track, a bet
ter system of train orders, more safety
appliances, and shorter hours for em
ployes who are connected with the
handling of trains all go toward bring
ing about this condition. As long as
humanity is liable to errors, mistakes
will happen on railroads as elsewhere,
but the railroads of today are endeav
oring to move their trains so that it
man to err to
cause a serious accident.

Henry Hier shipped a car of steers to
market last Sunday, receiving a good
price for same.
Everything is looking pretty good in the
sandhills, especially potatoes. Some of
our neighbors have commenced digging
them already.
Mrs. Maycock and Mrs. Hier had what
might have been a serious accident re
cently. They thought they would break a
colt to drive single, while the men folks
were away, so they hitched him up to a
cart. He started out nicely, but had not
gone far, however, when he began kicking,
the two ladies receiving some quite hard
blows. The horse seemingly not being
satisfied with this, reared up and threw
them out backwards, then ran away.
Luckily no serious damage was done.
Mrs. H. P. V. Bogue was the recip
ient of a very pleasant visit over Sun
day from her brother, F. L. Dillaye,
