FEATHERWEIGHT BOXER
TRAININGJN ALLIANCE
Kid Felso, a featherweight boxer
whowho accumulated quite a reputa
tion in the army with his aballty to
handle the gloves, has opened train
ing quarters in Alliance, and an
nounces that he Is ready and willing
to meet all comers in his class. Felso
has in his possession a championship
medal for the southern department
of the army, which signifies that he
got the better of all contenders for
that title and there were quite a
bunch of them.
James Hammond, at the Western
Hotel In this city, is Felso's trainer
and manager, and Is ready to receive
propositions from those who are in
terested In getting up bouts.
Felso's ring experience is not con
fined to the army. He has met such
men as Tommy Burns and Johnny
Kllbane. He fought with the latter
on two different occasions, losing the
decision by points In a four-round
bout. He Is confident, however, that
In a longer match, where endurance
has a chance to count, that he could
secure KUbane's number, and has re
peatedly asked for a fifteen-round
bout. Kllbane much prefers the
shorter time limit, however, and he
has had no opportunity to meet him
(n any other kind of an engagement.
Felso has announced that he will
be available at any time that local
organizations need added attractions
for benefit performances or anything
else of that nature. He has ap
peared a number of times In connec
tion with that kind of programs, and
is perfectly willing to help out. He
expects to make bis training quar
ters in Alliance for Bome time to
come.

ALL ABOARD FOR THE
FIREHEN'SCONVENTION
There will be about fifteen fire
men from Alliance to attend the
convention at Scottsbluff. The con
vention Btarts tonight and will last
Wednesday and Thursday, closing
Thursday night. There are quite a
number of firemen in town this
morning from towns east and north,
who will accompany the Alliance
firemen this afternoon to Scottsbluff.
A special train from eastern Ne
braska will arrive in Scottsbluff this
noon over the Union Pacific. They
expect about six hundred firemen.
The program over there includes the
usual business sessions and the en
tertainment will include automobile
sight seeing, drives, visits to sugar
factories and other chances to see
western Nebraska. This is expected
to be the largest firemen's conven
tion ever held in the state of Ne
braska. v
The Scottsbluff department, as
sisted by the Chamber of Commerce
has made elaborate arrangements
for entertainment for the delegates.
The larger share of the delegates ex
pect to visit Alliance on their way
home on Friday, stopping over in the
city or a few hours. They all re
member Alliance favorably because
of the fact that the convention field
here years ago was one of the best
ever held and because of the fact
that representatives of the Alliance
departments have always taken a
prominent part in the affairs of the
state association.
Among those who will attend from
Alliance are Dr. George J. Hand,
president of the local department;
John W. Guthrie, past president of
the state association; E. G. Laing,
who has been a constant attendant
at state conventions for many years;
G. I Hill, the Alliance live wire,
and Lloyd C. Thomas,, publicity
chairman for the state association.
In addition to the above there will
be a delegate from each company
and the fire department chief, Ward
Hall. The state association will miss
this year one of the most prominent
members, who first came from Alli
ance and who afterwards became the
state fire commissioner W. S. Ridg
ell, who died at Lincoln last fall.
Mr. Rldgell was also a past pres
ident of the association and enjoyed
a wide acquaintance among the fire
men over the state.
One Minute
Store Talk
"You people know your
own minds, know that it
pays to be merchants, not
speculators, and to sell
your merchandise the
season it was made for,"
said a great eastern re
taller, a visitor to our
store. He was an inter
ested spectator last Sat
urday of the blggoftt day'
business ever done by
this house.

NO SALE in all the history of this house has made such an im
pression upon people who compare values, people who
really know and appreciate true bargains.
Why such a sale is being held in view of the continued rise
in prices is answered in one word, "Policy." The Harper store
will never "carry over" one single, solitary garment, regardless of
value.
The distinct advantage of this idea of NEWNESS EVERY
