of Buyers Here and Several
Hundred Head Sold
NEXT SALES IN SEPTEMBER
The horf market in the enst In
off, prices are away clown, and a a
consequence the Kales of I ester &
Son, last Friday and Saturday, and
of the Wright Commission Co., Mon
day and Tuesday, were not what they
would otherwise have been. Taking
everything Into consideration tiny
passed off better than could be rea
sonably expected, and leave no cause
for discouragement to the (gentlemen
who are promoting the sales.
We are Informed that the two sales
already held were away ahead of the
first two horse sales at (Irand Island,
which has grown to an important mar
ket. Alliance Is In it as a horse mar
ket and Is here to stay. There is no
doubt about this becoming one of the
leading horse markets of the West
LeeAev r Hon, whose sale was held
on Friday and Saturday, are plaeae4
with the result, although It was not
what It would MVS been under more
favorable in iiuistnin cs. Owing to Ih
slump In the markets, especially the
bad market In the east, the number
of buyers present was smaller than
at the previous sale and less than
what may be expected at future sales.
They intend to hold their next sale
in September.
The Wright Commission Co. report
that they are well pleased with the
result of their sale, considering the
condition of the market. Thjey antlel
pate a better market for their next
sale, which will be held early i n
September. They had twenty-seven
consignors, and buyers from Texas,
Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Penn
sylvania and Nebraska. The highest
string of stuff sold was fifteen head
of three-year-olds, mostly unbroke, be
longing to J. E. Wilson. They brought.
$1 lit. 00 per head. Geo. Petrie sold
three yearling colts at $57.50. The
top of the sale was a mule put In by
Simon Spry and bought by W. E
Hllliker of the South Omaha Horse
and Mule Co. for $200.
There were .125 head sold at the
two sales, 162 at the Lester sale and
1611 at the other. The proceeds of
the two sales amounted in round
numbers to $25,000.
In this connection we wish to call

REPORT FOR LAST TWO WEEKS
The weekly weather report is a
permanent feature of The Herald, but
was overlooked In making up last
week's paper, hence this report cov
ers two weeks, during which time
the weather has been all that could
be desired. There have been fre
quent rains severing this section of
the state. The weather lja,s been
aana, of course, but not oppressively
hot. Potatoes and com a& doing
fine Already fanners are showing
samples of what promisee to be a
bumper crop of spuds. Although the
acreage of corn is not large in this
country, there will be a lot of it
grown this year, the indications now
being that there will be plenty to
supply the demand fat home con
sumpt ion.

1012 passed quietly away. A
short afterword may not be out
of place. The character of the
deceased had several strong
points of great attractiveness.
Foremost among these was the
personnel of the faculty, which
w its coniOsed of a body of ex
ceptionally strong teachers; in
noway falling In-hind the Nor
mals of other years in this direc
tion. Secondly, we had a large and
enthusiastic student body: and
one need have no hesitation in
stating that those who were en
thusiastic at the beginning of
summer school, and those who
were not, if any were enthusi
astic and appreciative at the end
of the term.
It is certainly a pleasure to
mingle with people such as year
ly year compose the Junior
Normal and Alliance likes to
have them here.
A third feature that may be
mentioned is the dining hall at
the Central building under the
able direction of Miss Frazier
and her assistants. Board at
s;:.jr( the Week in this locality,
and with prices of food as they
are now, is something to make
anyone sit up and take notice, in
CAM you hadn't realized it. This
means good food, too, attractive
ly served and including a con
siderable variety. No wonder
that so large a iortion of the
elite of the neighborhood used
to patronize the chicken and ice
cream dinner on Sunday. Teach
ers' appetites are often variable,
possibly they are sometimes act
ed on by causes that would not
affect anyone with the physique
and mentality of a dock laborer.
This, however, could not be
blamed on Miss Frazier, and if
anyone who partook of it could
be so misguided as to have a
pick coming on the food, all the
writer asks is that the editor of
this paper Will arrange for him
a brief but convincing interview
with the malcontent.
Wednesday morning we had
our last gathering at the chapel
hour, the assembly room becom
ing the examination hall on
Thursday and Friday, and we
listened to farewell speeches
from the faculty.
On Friday night a reception
was tendered to the faculty, stud
ents and friends of the Normal,
at the Central Building. Here
again MissFrazier's guiding hand
and enerjetic spirit were in evi
dence. Chinese lanterns formed ft. prin
cipal part of the decoration. Del
icious cherry-punch and cake
were served, and all had a good
farewell time. The occasion was
further enlivened with somepian
o selections by the Misses Beulah
and Dorothy Smith, and by a
humorous reading by Miss Grace
Johnston setting forth the exper
ience and opinion of a Mrs. Mc
Guffy on the subject of baseball.
Enthusiastic applause greeted
these items.
in honor of the victories won by
the running team at the State Fire
men's Tournament and in recognition
of the general good work of the Alli
ance Volunteer Fire Department, the
city officials gave a reception and
banquet to its members at the city
hall last night, at which abocj sixty
five or seventy were present
An appetizing repast was served,
and speech making and a general
good time was indulged in. Mayor
Barnes acted as toastmaster, and in-trodic-ed
the various speakers in a
most happy veiu. J. W. Guthrie,
Councilinen Stern and Yaughan, and
Others responded.
The occasion will long .be remem
bered bv those who were so fortun
ate as. to be present, and we shall
not be surprised if repeated once in
a while.

ALLIANCE FATS VS. LEANS
Big Game Base Ball at Fair Grounds
This Afternoon
A test of supremacy between the
fat and the lean men of Alliance is
taking place at the fair grounds this
afternoon in a game of base ball.
It is hard to forecast the result, but
the opinion prevails that the leans
have a little the edge on the fats in
the national game
In honor of the occasion the Alli

here is where The Herald is hit
