The Herald Re-Appointed Official Organ
CHAUTAUQUA
STARTS WELL
Splendid Entertainment Delight
Ijtrge Audience, lloth Af
ternoons and Evenings
PARADE WAS
BIG FEATURE
When the Alliance Woman's Club
undertook to put on a Chautauqua
they shouldered quite a responsibil
ity in making the necessa ry guaran
tec There was a common idea that
th -Chautauqua was an affair too
ta fle. to receive popular approva
th i-V That Idea is being dispelled
The public has been captured by the
first two days of this year's program
The first number on this year'
program was a concert Tuesday af
ternoon by the "All Brothers' Quar
tet." Opening the Chautauqua ses
sion wun this concert was a very
timely plan, as it set everybody who
was in attendance talking favorably
In the evening, following a pre
lude by the All Brothers' Quartet
Dr. Cyrus S. Nusbaum delivered hi
great lecture, "The Glory of Life,'
to the delight and profit of the large
audience in attendance.
Yesterday, the second day of the
Chautauqua, the people were expect
ing something very good, and they
were not disappointed. The after
noon program opened with a music
al prelude by the Browne-Enlowe
Company, consisting of one lady and
two gentlemen, all artists. Follow
ing the rendition of the prelude,
Stewart I. Long delivered one of bis
inspirational lectures. Those who
It has come and gone, the nine
teenth annual convention of the Ne
braska Stock Growers Association;
nd it was the great convention that
ad been foretold thru these col
mns. In speaking of what the attend
ance would be, and basing its prog
nostications upon reliable data, The
Herald on June 11 said, "You will
see, according to present indications,
more people than were ever before
n this city in three consecutive
days." There were not as many
people in town on Thursday and Sat
urday, the first and last days, as
have been In Alliance on prevloui
occasions; but on Friday the attend
ance was a record-breaker.
The attendance at the business
meeting of the Nebraska. Slock
Growers Association, in the Phelan
opera house, at 10 a. m., was more
than double what it was last year,
indicating a growing interest In the
good work of the association. The
crowd at the fair grounds In the af
ternoon was a record-breaker, altho
many people remained on the streets
down town.
Preceding the session of the con
vention at the opera bouse, Friday
morning. Dr. C. M. Day, state field
veterinarian, delivered a splendid
lecture on blackleg In cattle and vac
cination as a remedy and preventive
therefor. Many questions asked by
the stockmen present indicated their
interest and were answered In a man
ner that showed that the speaker
was conversant with bis subject. The
TTersld believes that Governor More
head selected a man well qualified
for field veterinarian when he ap
pointed Dr. Day to that position.
Election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows:
President, Robert Graham of Alli
ance. Vice president, A. T. Davis, Hyan
nis. Secretary-treasurer, Chas. C. Jam
eson, Ellsworth.
Members of executive committee:
C. II. Tally, Alliance; E. P. Meyers,
Omaha; Reuben Llsco, Lodgepole;
II. Bachelor, Valentine; Herman
Krause, Long Lake; J. II. Ilonahan,
Whitman; A. R. Modisett, Whitman;
E. M. Eldred, Orlando: John II. Orr,
Lewellen; E. M. Searle, Ogalalla;
John Dlemer, Hyannis; A. Metxger,
Merrlman; Jas. II. Qulgley, Valen
tine; E. M. Brass, Grand 1st and;
Daniel Adatnson, Lake.
The matter of an official paper for
the ensuing year was left by the con
vention to the executive committee
of fifteen members, besides president
and secretary. The committee met
immediately following the adjourn
ment of the convention. By unani
mous vote The Alliance Herald was
reappointed official organ of the association.
Dropping down from twelve, six
teen and twenty-four pages, the site
the paper has been recently, to eight
pages, the site of this issue, curtails
our space to such an extent as to
make it impossible to publish re
ports of brand inspector, secretary
treasurer, etc., this week, but they,
will be published soon and given
more publicity than ever before.
Imtortaiit t Members N. H. G. A. .
Next week The Herald will pub
lish a proposition for doubling the
membership of the Nebraska Stock ,
Growers Association that will Inter
est every member. The present
membership of the association is not -half
what it ought to be. There are
probably very few, if any, stockmen
in the west half ef Nebraska but
what wltl mtmir that ther should loin
the association; but how to get their
names on the application blank,
that's the proposition.
The "Who's Who Among Nebras
ka Stockmen" department will be
continued, of course. With the suc
cess it has already attained, we
would not think of dropping it, ex
cept that circumstances may make
it necessary to occasionally leave it
out of one issue.
