Erst of the Lutheran Evangelical church. The wedding was largely attended. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Bertha Hamilton. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Hamilton of this city and a successful young railroad man. His bride was a popular young lady of Aurora. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton arrived in the c-itj h :r Tning and si'l comment- housekeeping in their own heme in the north part of the city. v. The future of Alliance is just what the citizens of Alliance elect to make it. Men aro the arbiters of their own destiny, and what is true of men is equally true of cities, Alliance is fortu nately situated in that it is the largest city in a radius of several hundred miles and possessor of railroad facilities that offer splen did advantages. The natural resources of this section of country arc not such as lend encouragement to manufacturing industries, although there aro a number of small manufactures that could profitably be carried on here. But it is as a distributing point that Alliance occupies a favorable field. Alliance should bo the cen tral distributing poiut for all the vast amount of goods used in tho country north, south and west of hero on the lines of tho Burling ton road and the Elkhorn road that crosses the Burlington line. Groceries, boots and shoes, harness, hardware, glass, hats and caps, clothing, drug sundries, confectionery and tho hundred and one articles of wholesale commerce should bo jobbed by Alliance firms. This is not a dream, fellow-citizens. Other towns with far inferior facilities and location have built themselves up into strong municipalities by seizing upori'overy advantage offered, no matter how small it might seem. Tho first thing to do is to convince men of capital that Alliance affords these opportunities. Tiiere are many was of accomplishing this, but tho best and quickest way is to organize a live board of trado and secure tho services of a sec retary who knows his business, and knowing it has the industry to work at it. Alliance has enough retail establishments to take care of all the trado that exists now or may exist for several years to come, but there is plenty of)Hnom for several wholesale estab lishments. - A city may be talked up, or it may be talked down. It is civic pride and loyalty that made Chicago and Kansas City. A Chicago man never misses an opportunity to boast of his city's wonderful progress, and a Kansas City man talks about the vil lage at the mouth of the Kaw ns long as he can find listeners,- and even then he talks to himself. Brethren and friends, let us begin talking for and about Alli ance. Let us offer proof of our own confidence in tho future of Alliance. Let us work for the future of the city and surrounding country. And let us begin without further loss of time. i V. fi V. 1ft 1ft V. 'a 1ft 1ft 'a 1ft 1ft 5ft v; a . V. 1ft (, a V, r 1ft 1ft 1ft "Golden Gate" at AlliancevGroccry Co. today and tomorrow. C, A.

Alliance has many people of undeniable ability in the line of public entertainment, as has been shown from time to time in CHADRON vs. ALLIANCE. Tho Hoys I'roin the Town on the "Sleepy Elkhorn" Con Piny Foot Hull, The football game between tho Chadron academy team and Alliance high school boys was not quite so evenly divided as to theplays and other entertalnrrients Riyenlhonprsyas. one might have--jdshed, tho by them; bu their master effort was put icoreat the finish of tfie last hahTbeing4 forth in the rendition of "Esther, the Beautiful Queen" at the opera house last Friday and Saturday evenings, and the result was the best with one possible exception, ever given by home talent. All the leading parts were sung by those having exceptionally good voices. Mr. Bixler as the King of Persia, B. V. Reeve3 as Haman, Judge Spacht as Mordccai, and S. M. Smyser as high priest not only sang the parts to perfection but looked them and acted them, too, The same also can be said of Miss Frew as Esther, Miss Dun can as Zeresh, Haman's wife. Miss Mc Corkle as Mordecai's sister, and Mrs. Fleming as the prophetess. Little Julia Frankle as Ida, Haman's child, has doubt less received more compliments than any other player in the oratorio. She took her part so artlessly and played it so naturally, besides which, work well done in that line by a child excites more admiration than work equally well done by grown-up folk. The chorusses of Jews, Persians and chil dren showed careful training and selection and the costuming was elegant. Most of the costumes were made here, only the royal robes and garments of that sort being furnished by Mr. Bixler. The opera house was well filled both nights. About $185 was cleared and the high school is therefore assured of being the possessor of a piano in the near future. The undertaking was Mr. A G. Bixler's and that gentleman shows great ability in selecting, arranging and training those re quired for the cantata, more than sixty being required for it. He was most ably assisted in this by Superintendent Bartz, to whose work in training and arrange ment and as stage manager much of the smoothness in the presentation was due. We have been unable to get the names of the children who assisted, bat among those taking part were Messrs. Perry, Ufford, Mnirhead, Morris, Duncan, Smy ser, sr Smyter, jr., Englehorn, Hays, McAllister, Constable, Fritts, Cantwell, Madsen, Reeves, Spacht and Bixler; Mesdames Stoner, Johnson, Quivey, Mor ris, Hamilton, Fleming and Graham, and the Misses Darling, Hicks, Smith, Buech- senstein, Duncan, Frew, Frankle, Hamil ton, Swan, Fritts, Bell wood, Willas, Miller, Contraman, Young, Reck, McCorklc, I.ot- speich, Snyder, Beck and Wehn, and Miss Bernice Kridelbaugh, plant. Illxby and Maupiu. llie Crete revvs says' An oilort is being madtj to gat Bixby and Maupin for an evening in Crete. If this is succossful every one will want to hear them and tho opera house will be, too small to hold the audience. They are the only pair in Ne braska. They ars equal to a full house any time." Yea, Bro. Bcwlby, thay make to o in favor of the visiting team. Our boys have shown the "never-say-dio" spirit about it and say they will keep on practic ing until they make their friends proud of them and their opponents afraid of them, which is commedable, to be sure; but the boys have not diagnosed thecal correctly. The writer begs pardon for those words of unsought advice and explanation. It is not practice. It is added length of hair. We don't pretend to know the reason but it is a fact that a football player to amount to shucks must have a head that, when he is under full sail, look like an overgrown Russian thistle. It may bo that the fero cious appearance this gives him has some thing to do with it. Anyway, there's nothing like "Absalomic" locks for success in mis game, raaueo pants, knee pro tectors and skull crates are not in it with a good shock of hair and just there is where our boys fell down. They didn't have it But they will. You just wait, you Chad ronians, until time shall have undone the nefarious work of the Alliance barber and they will show you the game of your lives. They got the "go" iu them. All the need is the aforesaid hirsute growth and they'll be a match for anything that ever etood or scrimmaged on the gridiron. KcRnn-ltlncUstonc A special dispatch to the World-Herald, November 26, says: Daniel C. Regan, Burlington agent at Lead, and Miss Mary Louise, daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Blackstone of Central City, were married at St. John's Episcopal church in Dead wood today. The wedding was largely at tended and was one of the most fashionable held in Deadwood in years. Owing to the prominence of the princi pals a great deal of interest had been taken and several anti-nuptial functions had been held. They were married by Archdeacon George G. Ware, and following the wed ding a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Blackstone. The young couple left for Denver, intending to spend their honeymoon visiting various Colorado points. Before their return they will go as far as Sa.lt Lake City. They will re side in Lead. Mr, Blackstone, father of the bride, has for years been chief engineer of the Home stake Mining company. Mr. Regan is the eldest son of Mr. and M ra. Thos. Regan of this city.

Miss Maud Fritts who had been here for some time with her brother, Ed Fritts, an employe at thoB. & M. depot, returned to her homo at Sterling, Colorado, Tues day. Mesdames Sherwood, Johnson and Rus tin camo down from Hemingford Saturday evening to attend tho oratorio, " Queen Esther." During their visit in the city they were tho guests of Mesdames B, F.

Regan to Miss Blackstone, which event took place Wednesday. C, C. Barker and Miss Edith Phelan went up Tuesday to also attend the wedding. Last week we were inclined to think that a "hoodoo" had visited the Herald because there were just thirteen new sub scriptions during the week. But now we are satisfied that there was nothing in the "unlucky number thirteen" as eighteen new names were enrolled this week. Mrs. W. B. Shull and A. H. Robbins entertained at dinner Wednesday in honor of Mr. Robbins' birthday. It was a com plete surprise to Messrs. Robbins and Shull. A bounteous repast was served and the guests before leaving voted Mes dames Robbins and Shull royal enter tainers. STNII'K OVER POSTOrnOF. I. E. Tnsli Aspires to Succeed R. VV. Mont r.oitiory ns Postmaster. For some time past rumors have bea afloat that there would be a change of postmasters in this city, and developments this week have corroborated such rumors, A "petition has been circulated among tho business men of tho city by Mr. Tuttle, partner of Mr. Tash, asking for the latter's appointment. The Herald doc3 not know what charges have been preferred against Mr. Montgomery. Certain it is that his fealty to tho republican party cannot be questioned, as cannot that of Mr. Tash. There are some republicans who would bo pleased to sea Mr. Montgomery removed because they say that the influence of Supt, Fhelnn was Used in securing his appointment' While an Alliance citizen stated publicly last night that he had received word from Omaha that Tosh was sure to bo appointed, yot Tho Herald believes there is still time for a big scrap. Mr, Tash has good sup port and is probably holding "three aces," but Mr. Montgomery may yet flash up a "full house" and retain his hold on tho "jackpot." It matters very little to The Herald who is postmaster, so long as the official is capable, and wo ae not worry ing over the outcome. However, if our republican brethren will pardon a sugges tion, we will say that in case neither Mr. Montgomery or Mr. Tash are acceptable, what's tho matter with looking around for some other good man. There's Captain Sweeney, Judge Wilcox, Al Wiker, Editor Ellis, Smith P, Tuttle and a score of Other republicans who might be persuaded to sacrifico their personal business for the public good. The Herald has only one regret, viz: that it cannot create enough olliccs for all the faithful republicans. Wo, aro pained to see so much fighting for political plums. New Division Created.
