The train will be in Alliance prob ably on Tuesday, September 23rd, remaining here for a day. It has not yet been announced whether the train will take a run up the North I'latte Valley, although It Is cx Iected that It will, returning to Alli ance and going east from here.

Lloyd's Column Boost Alliance The greatest asset of Alliance is the friendship and goad will of Its visitors, men and women who have been here and who pass through on the transcontinental line of the Burlington, stopping with us for varying lengths of time, going to their hornet In the north, south, east and west, for we are nearly la the center of this great country. These people tell their friends and neigh bors about the delightful climate, the fellowship and splendid enter tainment that gives the character to this rapidly growing western elt. If you have acquaintances and rriends who should knew more about this section of the state, s-end us their names and we will send them sample copies of The Herald. A certain Irishman living In New York owns a number of tenement houses cm the East Side In the Jew ish district. One day one of his tenants, a Kttle, short, wrizened-up Jew, called at his office to make a complaint. "I tell you, Mister Murphy, I am goin to leave It your flat." "Sure, now," answered Murphy, "and what la the trouble?" "Veil, I itell you dere's too many rats In dot flat. Vy, only yesterday I kills eight!" Murphy Jumped to his feet in an ger, and bellowed forth: "An' 'tis ruts, .is it, that Is bothering ye? You lave thim rats alone! What do you want for eight dollars a month? Hunting privileges?" Solicitor 1 would like to sell you a talking mat-hiine, 4r. Gentleman No, thanks, I'm mar ried. The Answer They say that Cupid strikes a match That sets the world aglow; But where does Cupid strike his match? That's wht; I'd like to know. All thi!s is very clear to me ThereV warcely any doubt He strikes his matches easily Upon his round-a-bout. Or If his round-a bout is fled, As sometimes he is shown He strikes it on his arrow head, Much harder than hOs own. Exchange. Razor Gets Dull Again The razor which Bill Due uses to carve out the Items for th Tim as Is again getting rather dull, as is evidenced by the following pert lit tle item from Tuesday's Times: "We orb In the la&C Issue of the Herald that V. J. Nolan will lay off and entertain some friends during the stockmen's convention, but they failed to state the year." Yes, yes, dear ones, 'Ms true that the abo'Ve Item slipped in among the l.H'.llo items in last Tnursilay's Her ald, but if you will kindly pick up Tuesday's Times and refer back to pa,ge eix, column six, and glance at the legal notice, to "My Gee", sign ed by "John O'Keefe. purchaser," you will find that you are much far ther back than the recent Stock men's convention, fcr you have dat ed It July 5, liiO;!, Instead of 19U. Ten years Is a long time, boys. At that time Big Ben was getting his start in the world in a twenty-five round prize fiht in Detroit, Johnny Mo'st wtaj getting his colloge educa tion in Vasar, and Lloyd wa3 deliv ering typewriters in Omaha for three dollars a 'week and carfare. How ever, we would suggest in the Inter ests cf all concerned, that you da c the legal notice correctly, and af c; thW remember that "those who live '.n glat-a houses should not throw stones." Editor Clark, of the Heminyford Journal, has his little hammer out mcst of the time, on the trait of the county commmissioners. His latest eftoit Is the following bit of highflown language, directed at the commissioners because they have Killenl a mass meeting of the people of Box Butte county in order to learn what the people detlie to do la regard to the purchasing of the east half cf the court house block. Box Butte county has a set of com missioners that are certainly en deavoring to do their duty, and al though they don't agree with The Herald in politics, no one can hon es til y accuse them of being a set of grafters. The ilemtngfcrd. editor iniiKt have had a goad, etrcng pull r.t the bcttle before turning out the following masterpiece: The Board of County Commmission ers are trying to get their courage up to the point of buying the land In the court house block, not now owned by the county, so that the new court house can be set in the center cf an entire block. We have no objection to the county owning the entire blo k of ground, but want to call the atten tion of the Board to the fwt thait tbo pecpb will stand for no graft in real estate deals, and that the statute provides a plain, adequate, and honest method of acquiring this.

Toledo Those who examine the $985 Overland in an intelligent manner, will find in it most of the identical specifications that des cribe the average $1200 car. Why pay more when $985 buys as much as $1200 ? There are more Overlands than any other medium friced car in Box Butte County because every Over and purchaser is a satisfied owner and because his machine responds to every demand placed upon it by local conditions in Western Nebraska. JAMES KEELER, Agent And that la by condemnation pro ceedings the value of the land tak en to be fixed by a jury of six tax payers of the county to be appoint ed by the County Judge, and from whose findings ei her party e-an ap peal. Do it thiiit way, so that ev erybody will know exactly what is going on, and there will be no kick ing, and if any other method Is adopt d, the taxpayers will have a right to suspert that somebody is making a little money on the aide. SEK? Not Out of Sight The "seemore" gown, just now in vogue. Is classy, too, all right Won't somebody tell the little rogue She's far from "out of sight?" Exchange. D!'J you ever have an old friend call on you on circus day? "Ioc" Copciand did. Last Friday Cole Brcthers' Circus visited Alliance, al so' G. S. Mayo, pure food Inspector, who arrived on 43 from the east. Being an old friend or "Doc", and having called at his home on prevl oua traps, he hied himself to th: Copeland residence. U being hot and sunny he turned hU hat brim down. This simple little a:tion caused a great deal of attention and nearly caused his detention as a suspicious character. One of the city special police spied him and Sot on his trail forthwith In great haste. Arriving at the house, .Mr. Mayo wa asked lnbefcre hi had time to rap : the door. This looked auspicious to the constable, us the neighbors thought that there wa nobedy at home and at once began investigating. After a few minutes the "Vianger" was located in the riower garden, deliberately helping h:imcir to a chokj boqutt with all Ihe ccol nerve of a professional house breaker. They were just in the act cf capturing him when lo. and behold, there on the back porch atocd Mrs. Copeland and Mrs. Too hey, talking to the housebreaker. Mr. Mayo says, "Never again will I make Alliance when there U a circus In town." How can you drive an automobile around a telephone pole without hit Mng it. while going at a rati speed? Ask two Alliune e young men who were caught in the rain while out wet of town Sunday evtalng. While driving In, the car skidded an I slid clear arouud a pole. George D. Darling returned Tues day from ht vacation trip at Mystic. S. D. Mrs. Darling and Duane re mained there. George will return to Mystic Sunday.
