Large Grist of Niwi In Last Week's
Herald Not Quite Complete
The Herald gave an extended ac
count last week of the Decoration
Day exercises, hut still a few things
which we wished to mention were
omitted for the simple reason that
one pane of the copy was dropped
out, on which we mentioned:
"Hon. L F. Tash wns chairman of
the day. and filled the position with
hi usual dignity and ability The
Alliance hand discoursed music that
pleased the large crowd which filled
the opera house to overflowing. A
tf 'it of good will marked the occas
ion It wns a union service In the
fullest sense. There are times when
Id the stress of striving for the
things which we wish to accomplish
to gratify our own desires and am
bitions, or even In battling for the
things that we believe to be right,
that bitter feelings are harbored to
wards those who oppose: but In
times like this when the populace as
sembles to pay respect to the mem
ory of brave men who offered their
llTet as a sacrifice for the common
good, the spirit of patriotism which
nerved the heroes whose bravery we
commemorate, prompts us to empty
our hearts of every discordant ele
ment and grasp the hands in broth
rly kindness of those who differ, a.r
well as those who agree, with us.
Participating In the exercises were
members of the Catholic church and
Of the various Protestant denomina
tions, and some non-church mem
bers, all vying with each other to
show their appreciation of the part
the others took In the celebration of
tha day."
lent official, looking at the matter
from the view point of the Interest
of the schools, she ought to be con
tinued In her present position, and
her faithful and efficient service en
titles her to the splendid compliment
of a unanimous reelection. The
Herald moves that we make It unanimous.
THE PEOPLE'S CHURCH
That is the name that we are com
ing to he known by, and that is the
wsy we want you to feel about the
Haptlst church It is your church
and you will be made to feel at
home when you come. Will you not
try to come next Sunday? Morning
subject, "is Christ Coming Soon?"
In the evening, "The Oospel in
Song". This will be entirely a mus
ical service and something new In
this line, too, that will please and
help you. When we held a similar
service three yearB ago In Atlantic
City the church couldn't hold the
people. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to Normal students and fac
ulty to worship with us. Mrs. F. L
Parsons, choir director. FRANKLIN
McNEILL, Pastor.
A THING OF BEAUTY
"A thing of beauty Is a Joy for
ever." Whether so long as that or
not, the Burlington park, east of the
station. Is a Joy while you are look
ing at It. It's a beauty spot, Buch as
we wish there were many more in
Alliance.
MAKE IT UNANIMOUS
Among the announements of can
didates which we are pleased to pub
lish In the Herald is that of Miss
Delia M. Reed, county superintend
ent, who Is a candidate for re-election.
We suppose there will be at
least two candidates for each of the
Other Box Butte county offices to
be filled by election this year, but
we wish to recommend that there be
no other candidate for the office of
county superintendent ; and we sup
pose there will be no other, unless
some teacher permits htmselt, ur
herself, to be pushed Into the cam
paign by designing politicians. It Ib
no flattery or fulsome praise to say
that Miss Reed has made an excel-

A BULL IN THE MAKEUP
A Charming Woman
Is one who Is lovely In face, form,
mind and temper. But it's hard for
a woman to be charming without
health. A weak, sickly woman will
be nervous and irritable. Constipa
tion and kidney poisons show in
pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and
a wretched complectlon. But Elec
tric Bitters always prove a godsend
to women who want health, beauty
and friends. They regulate Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys, purify the blood;
give strong nerves, bright eyes, pure
breath, smooth, velvety skin, lovely
complectlon and perfect health. Try
them. 50c at F. J. Brennan's.
The word bull has a variety of
meanings, ranging from very good
to very bad, and is often used in a
figurative sense. Our readers are
familiar with the expressions, "bull
pen", "a bull In a china shop", etc.,
but perhaps not many of them have
before heard of the "bull in the
makeup", an expression used by
printers meaning the getting of lines
or paragraphs of type in the wrong
places in arranging the type forms
for printing the paper. Last week
The Herald had items about Mrs. L.
C. Thomas visiting In Omaha and
Wrayne, the anniversary service of
the L O. O. F. and the Rebeccas,
Marshal Hunsacker's new uniform,
Mrs. Julia Hale going to Gordon,
Charley Ixtspeich's family going to
the ranch for the summer, and Dr.
Slagle going to Omaha and returning
with Burton Warrick. These items
all belonged In the Alliance local
news, but by a "bull in the makeup"
they got into the country correspond
ence department, being placed under
the Quaker Valley items.
