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.

SPECIALAPRiL PRIZE
The special prize to the can
didate receiving the most votes
on. new subscriptions from April
1st to the evening of May 4th is
creating some interest. 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.
