Grhsshk", ii-Mt , Thennopolis, Wyo, Cordial Invitation to In view of the fact that Alliance will have the big gest Fourth of July celebration this year ever held so far in northwestern Nebraska, and that this is to be followed on July 5, 6 and 7 by the annual stockmen's convention, which draws more people from ii distance than any other event in this part of the state, the committee extends a most cordial invitation to the people of our neighboring towns to save themselves the trouble and expense of a 4th of July celebration this year and come to Alliance. The race meet to be held at the same time under American Trotting Association rules will also draw a great many people from neighboring towns, as well as from a greater distance, and is an additional reason why this invitation should be accepted. Ample money has been raised and preparations are well under way to give visitors the best entertainment they ever attended. An acceptance of this invitation will not only be appreciated by Alliance, but will be recipro cated so far as possible.

This prize consists of a ten dollar due bill on any store selected from the advertising columns of The Herald during the month of April. Votes counted in the contest for this special April prize are also counted in the main contest just the same as though the special prize were not offered. Following is the standing of the candidates in the contest for the special prize, the same being the number of votes received by each on new sub scriptions since April 1st: Miss Boon , 1725 Miss Moravek 1200 Miss Snow 900 . Miss Acheson 900 Miss Geiger 150 Miss Rosenberger 1 50 Miss Morgan 150 Miss Sandoz 150 MORE PRIZES OFFERED "We had thought of adding two or three more premiums to our already valuable list of prizes, but feel that we should have several more candidates in order to do so. If three or more candi dates enter the contest during the coming week, we will an nounce two or three more prizes in our next issue. A half dozen more candidates can enter ,the contest yet, and each candidate be absolutely sure of a prize. CANDIDATES RUNNING WELL A comparison of the votes re ported this week with last week's report shows that the contest is progressing nicely. Miss Snow is still in the lead, but is only 525 votes ahead of Miss Moravek who has made the largest gain of any of the candi dates during the week. Miss Boon reaches third place and continues in the lead for the special April prize. Miss Acheson is foux-th in the race. We wish to make a little explanation in regard to what we said a few weeks since about her not working for herself. We did not mean that she was not interested, but that her being among the leaders through the efforts of her " friends was a proof of her popularity. We un derstand nbw that she had done Neighboring Towns some good work in the interest of her candidacy. Miss Geiger makes the third largest gain during the week and retains fifth place. Miss Rosenberger, who is still in sixth place, made the second largest gain for the week with 950 votes. The other candidates continue in the same relative positions as last week. Grocery Store Changes Hands Since going into the grocery business in Alliance, W, A. Springer has found '.that indoor work does not -agree, with his health. For 6ome time past Geo. VV. Duncan, who is an experienced grocer, has been planning to open a grocery store iu this city. Consequently a deal was consummated the first of the week whereby Mr. Duncan ex changed property at Fort Morgan, Colo. , for Mr. Springer's stock of groceries. The goods were invoiced Tuesday night and Wednesday morning the store changed hands. While we regret to see Mr. Springer retire from business, we are glad that a man so well qualified to conduct a successful grocery store is his successor Mr. Duncan has a large number of friends and acquaintances in this city and country tributary to it arid having had a large experience in this line of business we bespeak for him a big trade. He is too busy just now to write an advertisement for this week's issue of The' Herald, but having ordered a large invoice of goods to add to his stock he will tell the readers of this paper about them and his business in our next issue. Tag Day June 1 8th has been designated as "tag day" by the sisters who have charge of Mercy Hospital. On that day three ladies, Miss Mary O'Keefe, Mrs. VV. D. Rumer and Mrs. John Brennan, each assisted by six girls, all of whom will be supplied with suitable tags, will solicit donatious to be used in furnishing the new hospital building when it opens July ist. Every person making a donation will be given a tag to wear during the balance of the day. As this will be something new for this city, and as the donatious will be to help a work of mercy and charity, it is expected that the public will respond liberally on tag dav.
