Wonderful Chew
BEST PLUG TOBACCO MADE
The natural juices of choice to
bacco leaf have an appetizing,
wholesome relish and the only
way you can get their full benefit
is to chew good plug tobacco.
The choicest Hurley leaf pressed
into golden-brown plugs of Old
Kentucky makes a chew that has
never been equalled for mellow
quality and pleasing taste.
The pressing of Old Kentucky
is done so slowly that not a par
ticle of the juice escapes, so that
every chew of Old Kentucky is
full of the wonderful fruity flavor
and wholesome quality that nature
put into the leaf.
You simply can't get so much
delicious appetizing flavor out of
any other chew.
Try a ioc plug of Old Kentucky
and you'll get more solid tobacco
enjoyment out of it than you ever
had before. Ask your dealer for
Old Kentucky.
CASE TO WASHINGTON
Walters-Peterson Homestead Filing
Content Sent to Government
for Decision
The. much discussed contest case
of Charles O. Walters vs. Wm. F.
Peterson, which was heard before the
local land office on May 8, has been
sent to headquarters at Washington
for a decision. Peterson won out In
the Alliance land drawing and Wal
ters filed and settled on the land at
9 o'clock on the morning of March
24, the day of the drawing.
The government notice regarding
the filing is not exactly clear, and
the local officials deemed it the most
expedient method to send the papers
in the case to Washington for a decis
ion on the matter. Paragraph four
of the public notice regarding the
opening stated: "Warning Is hereby
expressly given that no person will
be permitted to gain or exercise any
right whatever under any settlement
or occupation begun prior to 9 o'clock
a. m.. March 24, 1916."
Walters was represented before
the local land office by Attorney Wil
liam Mitchell of Alliance. Peterson
was represented by Attorneys C. G.
Perry and Bruce Wilcox of Bridge
port. OIUTCAIIY
Redmond Hand was born January
31, 1840, and died Tuesday morning.
May 16, 1916. after a protracted ill
ness of about two months duration.
He came from County Rascoramon,
Ireland, to the United States in
1850. On November 5, 1860. he
was married to Mary Ann Keogh in
Dubuque, Iowa, and moved to Ver
i illlon. South Dakota, in 1861.
Mr. Hand and family were in the
Missouri river flood at Vermillion,
March 27, 1881. where they lost ev
erything and were compelled to start
life anew. They located on the
present farm home ,a government
pre-emption claim, where he was liv
ing at the time of his death, March
10, 1885, before there were any
buildings where the town of Hay
Springs now stands, residing there
to the time of his death, a total of
thirty-one years and six days.
Two of the children born to Mr.
and Mrs. Hand died in infancy. Hel
ena and Aggie died in 1881, Red
mond died in 1911. Those living
and- present at the time of Mr.
Hand's funeral were Jos Hand of
Crawford. Mrs. Otto C. Smith. Mrs.
Dan Green of Gordon .and Dr. Geo.
J. Hand of Alliance. Mrs. Redmond
Hand was two i.ays younger than her
husband.
The funeral services were held
from the Catholic church in Hay
Springs, at 10:30 o'clock Thursday
morning. May 18. Father Nepper,
of Itushville, had charge of the serv
ices. Burial was ma it- in the Cath
olic cemetery at Hay Springs.
Deferred Civil Service Examination
Because there were not a sufficient
number of applicants, the examina
tion to have been held In Alliance for
a post office clerk and carrier has
been postponed until Saturday, May
27. Applications will be accepted
from any male becoming eighteen
years of age within thirty days of
the examinations. A photograph
taken within two years must be pre
sented to the examiner on the day of
examination.
The commission advises that it is
not probable that the railway mail
clerk, the departmental clerk, or the
bookkeeper examinations will be
held before the spring of 1917. If
the needs of the service require such
examinations to be held before that
time they will be duly announced In
the press.

Thresa O'Donnell, Kate Hagerty, Ma
ry Carey, Marie Reardon, Mrs. Rear

Purely MiikIcmI Festival.
Altho Inclement weather and oth
er unavoidable conditions prevented
many from attending the May Festi
val, the first or its kind in Alliance,
which was held in the Presbyterian
church, the audience who braved the
wind and sand were well repaid.
Aside from the plecsing choruses by
the Women's Choral Club, and the
Men's Sextet, a duet by Miss Bur
nett and Mrs. Hershman was artis
tically rendered, and the rendition
by Mrs. Rheln of "Old Kentucky
Home" accompanied by the men's
voices certainly received favorable
applause. Eight little glrln of the
physical culture daintily and grace
fully gave "Happy Days", and when
they had finished all the older listen
ers would have been quite willing to
be young again, so well did the
young folks cater to the spirit of
their selection and light steps.
Showing f Xe Lllierty Hat.
One of the millinery concerns or
Omaha is in receipt of a large con
signment of "Liberty' hats, the of

that similar hats are to be sold in
every city of the country and are to
be worn as a token or ex --"ton.
The "Liberty" hat is described a
large flat sailor, the outside of sum v.
and silk, with a straw facing. D I
trimmed with a nine-Inch yellow
band of ribbon, through which a j u
pie thread is run. these being the
suffrage colors. Have you seen any
similar hats in Alliance, or are in
