Steidley, field secretary, Miss Mamie Haines, sup erintendent of state primary work and J. B, Burk of Harrison, who is also a field secretary. The meeting was interesting but the attendance was not as large as Anticipated. A LARGE ATTENDANCE. 657 Scholars Enrolled in the Public Schools. School began last Monday morning with everything in working and every indication for a prosperous and interesting term. The children took to their studies with n vim and disposition that indicated a gen eral desire to make the best of the term just begun. The enrollment for the first day numbered 657 pupils, the best attend ance in the history of the public schools of Alliance, thus proving that they hava the confidence of not only the citizens of this city but also those of Box Butte and sur rounding counties in general.

Henry Mosher, son of Chief Dispatcher Mosher, came near losing his life Sunday afternoon by trying to prove that gasoline used as a renovator would not ignite. Henry's theory did not result as he an ticipated for the minute he touched the burning match to his pants, which he had cleaned with gasoline, he was in flames. Prompt action on the part of those nearby saved the lad from seridus burns and per haps a horrible death. As it is, he is suffering with slight burns. Mrs. Quivey Entertains.

During the "old man's" absence in Col orado a couple of weeks ago the Times commented on the "material improve ment" of The Herald, whJch assertion was correct, we are pleased to say. How ever, all the credit was given Mr. Louns bury when it should have been divided with Mr. Kniest as both of them took much interest in the paper. And what made the comment more pleasing is the fact that this was the first favorable mention ever made of Thb'Herald by that sheet. We thought at the time what a treat it would be to Times readers if Bro. Ellis would take a vacation and that is what he did this week. Mrs. Rustin, re publican candidate for county superintend ent of schools, has editorial charge of his paper with the result of "material Im provement" and we venture to say that great family journal of morality and sun shine would be appreciated by its read ders if the present editorial management was made permanent and Mr, Ellis run for the supcrintendency.

Alliance put up a mighty good fight for the new state normal school, but to no avail, as Kearney was selected after over a hundred ballots. Alliance need not feel bad for her turn is bound to come.
