ALLIANCE BRIEFS
After hearing everybody saying
harsh things about the muddy cross
ings for a week or two, It's cheerful
and refreshing to find someone who
finda something to be optimistic
about, no matter whether he's up to
his neck in mud. One Alliance mer
chant, and we'll give you three
guesses as to his identity, has sold
thirty-five cases of rubbers in the last
week. Another reports the sales of
Innumerable pairs of rubber boots.
And still a third saya there Is a big
demand for swimming trunks. In
cidentally, of course, tne demand for
cough medicines and cold oures Is on
the increase, and a few of the doctors
say that business is more pressing.
ance banks took advantage of the oc
casion to close their doors, most peo
ple would have forgotten that there
was such a holiday as Arbor Day.
The weather wasn't exactly favorable
to get out and dig holes in the moist
enrth and plant trees, out in some
parts of the state the students and
others did it. It's one of the most
sensible holidays ever declared and
the city loses much every time it is
slurred over, or forgotten.
Tom Briggs, member of the state
legislature, living north of Antloch,
Is reported to have lost fourteen head
of steers In a corral where they had
plenty of hay but little shelter, says
the State Journal. Reports from the
William Omaha sheep ranch, north
east of Alliance show heavy losses of
spring lambs but the total number Is
Blight In comparison with the num
ber of sheep on the range. John Sny
der, Alliance business man who re
turned the first of the week from the
Blackhills, where he was marooned
during the storm, reports that one
stockman in the hills lost five thou
sand head of sheep and that the total
loss in that section of the country
will probably be fifty per cent. He
stated that all of the railroad right
of way men were busily engaged in
skinning dead animals and that at
Minnekahata the snow was four feet
deep on the level.
The contractors who have been
putting In the new stone fronts In
the opera house block know what
grief is. One glass was broken In
each of the first two put in, and the
same day the broken glass In the
Rheln hardware company front was
replaced, some bold bad boy threw a
snowball with disastrous effects.
Some folks have all the luck.
If It hadn't been that all the AI1I-
They appreciate Superintendent
Tate over at Sidney, too, as evidenced
by this friendly squib in the Tele
graph: "Supt. W. It. Tate of Alli
ance visited with Sidney friends the
past week while In attendance at the
District Declamatory contest. Super
intendent Tate Is still the Jolly fine
superintendent that he was while at
the head of the Sidney schools and
always enjoys a visit with his friends
here."
It's remarkable how a fad will
spread. One of The Herald's carriers
brought the news that the smaller
kids had taken up the overall fad.
"All of us kids wore overalls to
school this morning," he confided
gleefully, "and the teacher didn't
like it a bit. She didn't send us
home, though, because we can wear
what we please. Now they say we
can wear them the rest of the school
year." To date this craze has not
been taken up by the kindergarten,
but there's still six weeks of bchocl
left.
Lieutenant Lee R. O. Ward, Gen
eral Recruiting service, station in
Omaha at the present time, stopped
off Saturday on a hurry inspection
visit at the Alliance Recruiting Ra
tion. Lieutenant Ward was here for
the recent demonstration. Major
Morris of the Seventh division Is ex
pected to arrive within the next day
or two to make Sergeants Frey and
Ryan a visit. The local recruiting
station has been doing Itself proud
during the past month, and possibly
the major wants to become acquaint
ed with our system.
