8UIT AGAIN8T 8T0CK HOLDERS
Creditors of Defunct Railroad Men's
Co-Operative Store File
Suits for Claims
8ult has been filed in the district
court by the creditors of the Rail
road Men's Co Operative store a
galnst 100 defendants, stockholders in
the corporation,-for claims amount
ing to $3,500. K. II. Boyd is attor
ney for the creditors.
The store went Into the hands of
a receiver on March 1, 1912," with
claims of $7,000 against it. Fifty
three and three-tenths per cent, of
these claims have been paid, leaving
a balance of $3,600 due the creditors
of the store. The creditors are Mc
Cord Drady company, the Donald
company, Raymond Brothers Clarke
company, Kearney Flour Mills, I lag
er Candy company, 8wlft & Com
pany, It en Biscuit company and For
ettt Lumber company.
The buslnefls was originally incor
porated, small blocks of stock being
sold among over 100 different people.
It is said, however, that . the failure
to fUe the articles of incorporation
with the county clerk invalidates the
articles of incorporation and causes
each stockholder to become a part-
uer. This is the reason for the
suit being brought against the etock-
holders Indi viduallly, tt being claim
ed that each individual is liable for
the entire amount of the indebted-
tteat.

BUSINESS MEN DISPLEASED
Starting of Third Paper as Organ of
Political Ring Looked Upon
with Oisfavor !
i
Tiie proposition to start a third
paper In Allinnve to help out the po
litical fortunes of a few unpopular
politicians is being frowned upon by
the people o'f this city, except those j
who have "an ax to grind." The sup-;
port of a looai newspaper usually
falls principally upon the business
men of the town as advertisers. As
there im no need whatever for amoth-j
er paper here, either from the
standpoint of business or for the
dissemination of news, a good many
of the business men are protecting
agadnst placing a useless burden up
on them, in order to patronize!
ail the home papers.
Thcie who have been readers of
The Herald for the past few years
know that it has been our policy to!
discourage the needless multiplica
tion of business houses In any line.!
While reaching out for the estab
lishment in Alliance of lines of busl
nete not already or properly repre
sented, we have endeavored to dte
suade persons from starting any
new establishments that would be
detrimental to the general business
interest of the city. This paper
has recognized the fact that n town
Is not benefitted by dividing up busi
ness among too kirge a number of
establihments of the same kind. A
few first-class mercantile establish
ments are more to the credit of a
city and serve the public far better
than a whole lot of small stores
that because of too many of the
kind can never grow into anyth'ng
more than little, dinky, one-horse af
fairs. It Is the same way with newspa
pers, only worse because of the
burden of support falling, so largely
upon other business interests. And
when it is taken tuto consideration,
as people here commonly know,
that the new paper Is being started
for political purposes, it Is not
range that honorable business men
of the city are displeased with the
project.
As for helping the political aspira
tions of the office seekers who are
back of it, the only way we can
see tt might do Chat would be by
promoting deceptions that have
feen practiced prvaftely. Whether it
can do that remains to be seen.
SAYS "MORE THAN
WELL
PLEASED
Manager of the -Moore Grocery Co.
Satisfied with Results of
Late Special Sale
In mentioning lm a recent issue of
The Herald the successful special
Hale conducted In Alliance this sin
ter; that of the Moore Gro-ery Co.
should have been included, as it was
one of the principal sales of the
month. In speaking of this sale Man
ager Lee Moore remarked that he
was "more chain well pleased." And
right here we wih to call attention
to the combination that made the
sale a success: -
It was well advertised thru The
Herald and by means of well print
ed hand bills: the advertising waa
backed up by goods of good quality
and low prices; customers received
courteous treatment and prompt ser
vice. If those merchants who com
plain about "trade being quiet" will
try the same combination. The Her
ald will guarantee that they will be
"more than well pleased."
