Miss Estelle Bohn has accepted the place in the postoffice force made vacant by the resignation of Mr Foley and the young lady executes the duties thereof with entire satisfaction. W, M . Foskct, our rleming'ord friend, was in the city Wednesday forenoon en route home from Omaha, where he market ed cattle last week.

Ralph Jackson, his son-in-law, is now one of the head men for Mc-Cord-Brady Co., in whose employ he has been since leaving Alliance about twelve years ago. The duck hunting sonsou brings with it not only royal sport, but there is also an occasional accident to roport by the prema ture discharge of firearms. While out hunting last Friday, Norbert Frohnapfel met with a painful accident. He was in the act of shooting when both barrels of his shotgun were discharged simultaneously, the hammers of the gun striking Norbert in the cheek with such force as to badly lacerate it. Aside from the pain, the young man will not suffer serious results from the injury. Mr. and Mrs. II, A. Allison of Lakeside came in from the ranch Saturday, remain ing till Sunday. Mr. Allison called to have his stock brand inserted in this paper saying that if it had appeared therein be fore it would have saved him trouble and expense in finding some cattle which had strayed. The benefit of advertising stock brands should be apparent to every stock man, especially so during the winter months when stock is so likely to stray off in storms. Owing to The Herald's un equaled circulation in this section of the state your brands will become familiar to all stockmen if it appears on The Herald's brand page and may be the means of sav ing you many dollars. Estray notices will be inserted free on the brand page to those who have their brands advertised. A September Snow Storm. The old adage that wonders never cease was forcibly brought to mind even to the oldest inhabitant last Sunday and Mon day when this section was visited by a snow storm that would bave been con sidered a stem-winder in the middle of winter. But as the storm was of a gener al nature, visiting a vast area of country, the people of Box Butte county can not feel that they have been treated impartially or that the weather man had it iu tor us alone. The weather Sunday w,n cloudy and raw with occasional spits of snow during the afternoon. By evening however the snow storm upon us with full force accompanied by a stiff, cold wind from the north. The storm was continued with scarcely an inter mission until Tuesday evening. Whllo the landscape was covered with two or three inches of the beautiful, the atmosphere re mained above freezing point thus evading any serious results to range stock. The snow soon disappeared after the storm and aside from a light frost Tuesday morning there is nothing left to tell the tale but his tory of Alliance's mid-winter weather in September, A. D. 1903. Judge Wcstover Honored. A4 the M. E. conference held at Valen tine last week Judge W. H. Westover of this district was elected a lay delegate to the general conference to be held at Los Angeles, Cal., next May. This general conference is made up of one ministerial and one lay delegate from each conference district of the world and has a session once every four years. The selection of dele gates is one of the most important actions of the conference and every delegate so elected has not only the confidence of his church associates but also the highest re spect of every citizen of the district from whence he comes. It is required of a delegate that he possess good moral character and an upright demeanor. These qualifications are exemplified in the persou of our worthy 'ridge who will represent this district of Nebraska in the general conference conscientiously and whith honor to the M. E. church of the state at large. Northwest M. E. Conference. The annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church of Nebraska, held at Valentine, concluded its session Sunday night.

WVfr The scarcity of eggs in the local markets the past few days has been a sore distress to public meal caterers as well as to the private household. This state of affairs has originated the idea in tho minds of several Allianceites to enter into tho chickeu business on an extensive scale. It is argued and backed up by a long column of figures that a person can make an in dependent fortune in hen raising within the short space of three years. That there is money to be made at poultry raising in Box Butte county is a cinch, but the pro fits to be derived from such an investment in that space of time should be confined to a modest fortune. Something New to Him. The Natrona County (Wyo.) Tribune relates following regarding a young man's fust glimpse of n railroad train: "IJ. P. Sheldon, a young man ftoin Lauder, about 2G years of age, arrived in Casper last week, and for the fust time in his life saw a railroad train. He had some idea what the train looked like, but the puffing of tho engine, the escaping steam, the ringing of tho engine bell and tho rumbling of thu car wheels over the steel track was all new to him and of course was n groat cur iosity. Mr. Sholdon trailed some sheep from Fremont county to Canper for shipment, and he went to South Oma ha with the shipmc'it, whuto he no doubt will seo many things Unit will excite hi3 curiosity and cause him l wonder."
