The Herald is in receipt of a card from Mrs James Bellvvood, dated San Diego, Cali , February 3, which reads; "Please change address of our paper to Long Beach as we leave hers on the 10th. We want to spend some time there but hardly ex pect to find as ideal a climate as this. Every day is like summer but we have been having a little rain too. I will let you hear from us at Long Beach " Thomas Coffee and Thomas Dovvd of Chadron are in the city and it is probable that both will become permanent residents of Alliance in the spiing, it being their in tention to succeed Lamberson & Stetter in the saloon business.

ALLEN TURNER DEAD Inken MiiKlcnlj orse I nst Mfilit nt 8r.ll) mid I'.xplred Two lloms Later llnd .seemed to He Kcunv crlug, HE SAID HE WANTED TO DIE Post. Mortem l.xiinitmitloit Held lodnv Jury Keturus crdlct of "Dciith Hue to Congestion of the Lungs." Allen Turner who killed William Dunlap, the restaurant keeper in Lead, S. D., and was shot by young Silverdollar in this city last week, died last night at 10 30. At Ihe post-mortem examination held today by Dr. Moore, coroner, Dr. Bowman and Dr. II. 1$. Miller the bullet was found l)ing under the left lung, having Mruck one of vertebrae and glanced off. The lungs were badly congested and in such condition that the jury believed it would have caused his death if he had not been shot The wound was healing nicely. Turner's exposure coming from Lead to Alliance is supposed to bo responsible for his condition. He expressed the wish that he would dio be cause if he lived it probably meant death anyhow for the crime he had committed. Public sentiment is divided as to whether Silverdollar was justified in shooting Tur ner as he wasnot deputized and County At torney Mitchell believes that it is his duty to file a complaint against him, which he has done and a preliminary hearing will bo given him before Couuty Judge Spacht to morrow morning at 9 o'clock. The body was buried from Humphry's undertaking rooms this afternoon. Turner's mother, who lives at Dallas, Texas, telegraphed to day to give him a decent burial and send bill to her Following is the jury, em paneled by Sheriff Reed, and the verdict" State of Nkuraska, I Box Butte County, 1 At an inquisition holdcn at Humphrey's undertaking rooms in Alliance.

He is looking better than he did in the summer, which shows that winter conditions have not in his case caused high anxiety.

Nelson, a prominent rancher of Bridgeport, was in the city Tuesday. Brigham Young's disciplos in Alliance seem happy but how about the poor women they wronged and drovo from their homes? The Misses Margaret Boll and Faye Young entertain a large number of frionds at a party nt the home of Miss Young this evening. Until further notice all mail to Rev.

Mr. Wyatt was roadmaster between Seneca and Ra venna for several years and was also a partner of J, F. Fleming when in business at Seneca. The committee on state normal school legislation held a maeting Tuesday even ing and framed a letter to our state sena tor, Hon. W. C. Brown, regarding the rumor that there is opposition here to a junior normal in Alliance and to the pro posed normal school legislation and stated the position of the people to be favorable to both House Roll No. 1, providing for the establishment of a state normal school west of the Sixth principal meridian, and House Roll No. 100, providing for the es tablishment of several junior normals in the portion of the state west of the Sixth principal meridian, hut that we favor let ting House Roll No, 100 await the passage of House Roll No. 1 aud the selection of site for the college The needs and bene fits of such a school are pointed out, the greatest among which is that such a school would secure greater permanency in the character of the residents of the western part of the state. Most people, or rather, a very large per cent, of them, are out here to make all the money they can up to the time their children outgrow the meager school advantages of the country and then intend to go back cast where they can have such advantages. Moreover, the people of this portion of the state pay their just proportion of taxes for the maintenance of state institutions yet receive practically no benefit" from any of them, which is unjust. Enclosed with the letter they sent a copy of the bill drafted by the people of Sheri dan county with a petition by them which had been sent here for approval. They also offer to get a petition praying for the things desired signed by from 400 to 600 people living in the territory affected if Mr, brown thinks it would be beneficial to the cause. Another Republican Paper. It is not the purpose of the editor of this paper to obtrude his political views onto the readers of the paper. When the man agement changed tuo or three weeks ago it was understood that efforts would be di rected toward continuing its prestige as a thoroughly reliable and up-to-date local newspaper with the political features elim inated. It is, however, our purpose to up hold and encourage all citizens believing that the present administration of Presi dent Roosevelt is a wise and patriotic one. These are days when people need to stand by the president in his wisely directed ef forts toward the progress and welfare of all people of our nation. Grip. The above item written by Bro. Broome in last week's issue shows the political atti tude of that paper henceforth and coming as it did upon the same day as the an nouncements in the daily press that Judge Wilcox (our republican brethren are pleased to call the prospective register "Phelan" WiIco) was recommended by the two United States senators from Nebraska for register of the Alliance land office is, the republicans of Alliance say, significant, i. e , that the (lop was made to secure half of the land office printing which will be given by the new register and the question now in their minds is which will be the official republican paper of Alliancu. This "change of heart" was expected by the Times two years ago when its editor told what "hard work he did to keep the Grip from going republican" then, although he said nothing about the "hard work" he had to keep himself from falling headlong into the pop ulist camp a short time previous to that. This c6ndition of affairs is amusing to 'democrats In fact, the antics of those papers reminds us of a story our good re publican friend, Sam Wilson, tells of at his old home in Missouri, which is some thing like this A man went hunting one day and killed a coon. On his way home he met three boys each of whom wanted the trophy. He made the proposition that each boy tell his politics, giving his reason for so being, and he would give the coon to the one who gave the best reason, Johnny said he was a republican because Abraham Lincoln was a republican and Mr. Lincoln was a good man. Jimmy said he was a democrat because his father was a demo crat and he believed his father was the liest man on earth. Sammy said he was neither a republican nor a democrat but that he was anything to get that coon. The Times and the Grip are 'just like Sammy. Worse Tlinn Mormonlsm. Alliance is a thriving town because it has push. When it has worked up all the material in sight it goes after more. This is true of all the strata of its society, from city boss down to grocery clerk all are striking out for new features. Brother El lis wont and got married, but Arthur Cholf, so intent on building up the town that he forgot, within four days was married twice. Although misdirected, the fellow's habits are energetic. We are pleased to see something in him that we can com mend We would give him a cradleful of advice but ho is out of roach. Chelf is gons.- Chadron '1 imcs. Our neighbors have been roasting Alli ance considerably about its "Mormonistic proclivities," some even going so far as to dub it "Mormon City," but Tub Herald desires to inform them that the conditions calling forth their censure arc not of such magnitude here as has been reported and that no city has as a whole a more upright, moral and honorable class of citizens than Alliance. However. The Herald cannot and will not deny the fact that two or three of our citizens have wantonly and shamefully deserted their wives good, honest women who were good enough to spend all thoir thought and energies for them and share all their hardships with them in the days of their poverty and to raise families for them, bin Tilu Herald can truthfully say that the actions of these men in dis carding these poor, broken hearted women is not approved of by one per cent, of the citizens of Alliance and the day is not far distant when they will realize their mis take in supposing such riddance cnu yield them happiness, for punishment follows in the wake of such misdeeds. Look at the experience of others, For instance, Suna tor Tabor of Denver Some years ago ho and his wife were keeping "tavern" in a Colorado mining camp and poor as Job's turkeys, his wife taking in washing to sup port the family. A few years later fortune smiled upon them when Tabor made a rich gold find and proceeded to enjoy the luxuries which his wealth afforded. All went well until he became prominent and came to the conclusion that his wife was too much of a back number for him, hence must be discarded, so he deserted her and married a younger and buxom lady from Chicago. Mrs. Tabor No. 2 of course was in clover and proceeded to spend the old man's wealth in the quickest manner pos sible. Later on reverses overtook Tabor and he was then deserted by his young and buxom wife, who pronounced him "an old fool," He died in poverty and the poor wife whom he had deserted was the one who ministered to him during his last sickness and death. Moral Don't go back on that poor girl who stood by you in the days of your pov erty. Don't worry, it will get here. Geo. Darling. When it comes we'll tell you all about it. 'Tis surely coming. Geo. Darlino. Miss Inice McCorkle and Mrs, Stoner, teachers in the high school, have been quite ill for several days. Mesdames J. N. Andrews, W. S. Bell vvood and F. M. Broome will entertain the High Five club at the home of Mrs. Bell wood next Tuesday evening. The ladies of the Catholic church met with Mrs O'Donnell Wednesday after noon. The next meeting will be Wednes day, February 15, at the home of Mrs, Connett. B. F. Jones, the first merchant in Hem ingford if not the first in the county, is in Alliance today, stopping off on his return from Central City, his old home. Mr, Jones is now located at Bozeman, Mont. Father Galvin returned from his trip east Saturday and his parishioners and friends are pleased to know that his health is much improved. He was called to Hemingford yesterday to see Mrs. William Friel who is reported dangerously ill The ladies oi the M. E. church will give a valentine social at the home of Mrs. Geo. Young Saturday evening, February 14, at which the lords will buy the broken hearts, The ladies wear their counter parts. After hearts art matched refresh ments will be served. "Is ilcox 11 ltcptibllciui. ' That seems to be what the Nebraska senators now in Washington desire to know or they would not have sent telegrams asking that question to half a dozen lead ing republicans of Alliance yesterday, It appears that Alliance republicans have charged him with being a democrat before coming to this county and if he is appoint ed that J . R. Phelan will receive two-thirds the salary of the office. As previously stated it makes no difference to The Her ald w ho gets the plum but we desire to publish the facts for the benefit of our large list of republican readers who are interested in the mrtter. One of the most prominent republicans in Alliance said yesterday "The Herald is the only news paper in the county. There are two other toadying mouthpieces but The Hersld is the only paper that has the nerve to print the news." This is one reason why The Herald has the largest republican support of any paper in the county. We have lots of tfood things to eat. Reception Can Goods are the best that money can buy . .
