Thomaa, (W.retary Entered at the post office at Alliance, Nebraska, for transmission through the malls as second-class matter.

Now that l'ancho Villa has retreated to his mountain haunts, where for many years, while operating as a bandit, he defied the auth orities of Mexico, can the United States troops find and capture himt That they will take him, dead or alive, if they find him is a foregone conclusion, but the finding him is the big job. It is believed in this country that the detachment of the United States army will prove to be much more efficient, even in the wilds of Mexico, than the soldiers of that country. Not only are the Ameri can Roldiers better trained and better armed and equipped, but they will have the assistance of the squadron of aviators for scouting, something that the Mexicans never dreamed of in their efforts to cap ture the bandit Villa in the mountains. OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR BRYAN Every citizen of western Nebraska who can possibly do so ought to take advantage of the opportunity that will soon be given the peo ple of this part of the state to hear W. .. Tlryan, regardless of party affiliation or whether they endorse his position on public issues or not. There are two sides to every question. No doubt many people already have their minds made up, thru prejudice, cither favorable or unfavorable to Mr. Bryan, but it is wiser to form one's opinions by the exercise of reason, after obtaining all the facts possible bearing on the issues. Prejudice is a poor guide. Without either endorsing or condemning, in advance of his ad dress, what he may say here, The Herald wishes to remind its readers that he is a well posted man and able speaker, his sincerity few if any will deny, and it is more than probable that every intelligent, fair minded person can derive more benefit from hearing his discussion of Ihe vital issues of the present day than can be obtained by listening to the spoutings of the average curbstone politician. THREE CENTS PER POUND FOR STEER Three cents per pound, less expenses amounting to $5.99, is what a Wyoming ranchman recently received for a steer sold on the South Omaha market, that is, he recently received the pay, but the steer was sold nearly twenty-two years ago. Here is the incident as related in Clay, Hobinson & Co.' Live Stock Report: After nearly twenty-two years, Con Sheehan, a ranchman on the Sweetwater, has reccivoM .t'29.89 in payment for a steer which was marketed at Chicago in 1894. The. money was transmitted bv the Wyoming Stock Growers' Association, which has been holding it since September, 1894, when its inspector at Chicago discovered a steer branded with a cross curl C in a shipment made by .7. M. Carey & Bro., from Casper. Not until recently was it established that the cross curb C cattle were owned by Sheehan Bros., a firm of which Con Sheehan is the surviving member. The delivery of the money recalls that twenty-two years ago Wy oming beef was bringing only .T cents on (he Chicago market, which was the best market to which Wyoming stockmen could ship at that time. The Sheehan steer weighed 1,196 pounds and brought $35.88. The difference between the selling price and the price which Sheehan received alter twenty-two years was deducted for expenses of inspec tion and discovery. JUDGE JAMES R. DEAN ( former Judge of Supr.'tiie Court) BROKEN BOW Candidate for Judge of Supreme Court Custer County Chief: Judge Dean was appointed judge of the supw-me eourt by Coventor Sheldon in 1909.

Dated March 23. 1916. WILLIAM M. GREEN. SOLICITORS MOVE ON Three Hubscriptlon Solid torn for nr lous Publications Ijeave on Ad vice from Police After spending a couple of days in Alliance the first of the week, three solicitors, two men and a lady, moved on at the suggestion of the city police officials who notified them that they would have to discontinue the "rough stuff." These parties were soliciting subscriptions to various publications which was all right and to which no objections was made but the niasner In which they went after their vic tims was what was objected to. They would block the street In front of a prospect and Insist on showing their proposition whether the person was Inclined to listen to them or not. If one solicitor had a party cornered the other two would come up and about the only way a person could get rid of the three would be to "fall" for the proposition. Marshal Wheeler told them to go ahead with their work but the first time they blocked the street or stop ped a person against his will they would be taken into police court and they evidently concluded that it would be slim picking if they were compelled to give up the crude meth ods to which they were accustomed.

STOECKER Nebraska' Democratic Candidate FOR GOVERNOR (Continued from page 1) but the fourth party, the public, has thus far failed to take any particular interest. He quoted figures showing the enormous decrease in the percentage of accidents during the few years the employers have been waging a cam paign against useless accidents. In referring to the responsibility assumed by the government he stated that there are numerous devices the railroads are compelled by the gov ernment to adopt for the safety of employes and the traveling public, and said that every accident on the railroads must be reported to the government. Rev. Y'oung In opening his sermon stated that while the Safety First movement probably originated in the field of railroading It has spread to the entire Industrial world with re sults that are most flattering. "In spite of the fact that we are in the midst of fighting nations today, we are considering human life at a much higher value than ever before and we are reticent, indeed, to see any carelessness or undue risks take the life, or maim for life, any of our fellow beings. "In this great democratic country where we have learned long since to realize that every man is on an equal basis with every other man. and the only difference in his position is in his willingness or lack of willingness to add his mite to the progressive de velopment of the country in general, we must so organize our various In dustrial programs as to preserve the physical well-being of every one con cerned to the fullest degree. The happiness and development of Amer ican homes are dependent upon those who come in contact with dangers common to railroad life. Both the employes and the general public owe it to their fellow men to use every possible precaution for siifety." Mr. Young stated that there is quite a similiarity between his work and the work of the Safety First de partment, but, addressing Mr. Swit zer, he said. "I've got the best of the safety first game, Mr. Switzer; while you are looking after the physical safety of the people I am working for their spiritual safety." He said that one of the first com mands of safety first was made by the Saviour when he said, "Watch and pray, that you enter not into tempta tion." Mr. Young's address was closed with an explanation of the safety first pictures trhown on the screen. These pictures are used by the Safety First department of the Burlington in their educational work along this line and have been prepared not solely for railroad employes but also for the general public. These pictures showed dozens of ways in which people are injured or killed on the railroad and also show ed the results of such accidents. In many cashes, statistics show that the accidents are the result of careless ness and recklessness on the part of individuals, and the worst of it is thai the individual doesn't suffer alone, but innocent parties, dependent mem bers of the household, the wife and children, are forced to suffer. Tres passing is said to be the cause of a large percent of the accidents that occur. The meeting was closed by a short talk by Mayor Romig, who thanked the people in behalf of the railroad company for their Interest in the meeting, and by the singing of t he national hymn. "America," by the audience.
