The Conductors Entertain Royally.
The grand ball given by the Ordor of
Railway Conductors at On Zbindcn-Millcr
hall last night was an interesting social
affair. An event that brought together a
large audience among whom wore num
bered many from abroad. The hall decor
ations were artistic and the colors of tho
order red, green and white found pleas
ing contrast in the graceful ornamental dec
orations. The greeting, "Welcome" was
neatly designed and tho expression made
all feel glad that they were present to ac
cept the hospitality of the gallant paste
board punchers. Every committee paid
strict attention to business and hence' the
grand success attained.
The famous Tenth U. S. Cavalry or
chestra, under the directorship of Prof.
Geo. H. Kelly, provided the music and
kept the dancers in high spirits from the
time of the grand march till the close of
the program.
Light refreshments were served during
the evening, and the guests departed after
a night of much joy, declaring the second
annual ball of the Order of Railway Con
ductors a grand success.
Mrcmen's Ball.
The Alert Fire department has perfected
arrangements for a grand ball to be given
March 17, (St. Patrick's night) and have
engaged the Zbinden-Miller hall for the
event. There are many reasons why the
citizens of Alliance should assist in every
way to make this affair a most successful
one. It will be remembered that the fire
boys gave up the opera house, which they
had engaged for a ball July 4th, for the
benefit of Alliance citizens and visitors.
Following are the" committees:

A pretty wedding was solemnized Wed
nesday, January 13, 1904, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Ilashman, eight miles
northwest of Alliance, when their daugh
ter Bessie Ethel was married to Frank
Vaughn. The ceremony was performed
by Judge D. K. Spacht in the presence of
a large number of friends. The contract
ing parties are well known and popular
young people of that vicinity and start out
on J'fe 'vyage under favorable corcum
stances. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn will take
a wedding trip to Colorado. Tub Herald
joins their friends in extending congratu
lations. Following are some of the pres
ents received- Cow and horse, Mr. Hash
man; table cloths and napkins, Mrs,

The Mammoth Edition.
The Herald's mammoth edition is pro
gressing finely and with the general re
sponse from the public in Box Butte coun
ty we feel confident that the edition is go
ing to be appreciated by everyone. A. B.
Evans, who has the matter in hand to
solicit material and views for the edition,
has met with general success in every part
of the county he has visited. He has re
turned from the eastern part of the county,
where he secured many orders for excel
lent write ups and views of ranches, dwel
lings etc. Mr. Evans is at Hemingford
and Marsland this week and the same
generous patronage has been accorded him.
Photographer Fuller went up today to as
sist Mr. Evans in securing good views for
half-tone productions and many ranches
and other views from that section of the
county will adorn the mammoth edition.
There's lots of work compiling the reading
matter and securing views for such work,
but The Herald will spare no pains in
making the project a complete success.
We have a personal pride in presenting
our readers with something in the print
ing line which they will appreciate and
with the facilities and workmen employed
feel confident we can do it.
Taken to Reform School.
Joe Price and Ed Slaughter, aged ten
years, were caught by the section boss in
the act of placing spikes and other ob
structions on the railroad track Wednes
day. They had a hearing before County
Judge Spacht and were deemed fit sub
jects for the reform school, where they
were taken by Sheriff Reed yesterday.

At the meeting of the Cheese and
Cracker club Wednesday afternoon a pearl
ring was presented to Mrs. W. G. Simon
son and a diamond pin to Mrs. Dorrington,
as a token of esteem from the ladles of tho
club. Mesdames Simonson and Dorring
ton have been active and interesting mem
bers of tho club and their withdrawal will,
as a result, bo regretted by the members.
Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Record visited Mrs.
Dorrington in this city the latter part of
last week leaving Saturday for Everett,
Wash., their new home. Mrs. Dorring
ton expects to join them there in a couple
of weeks. She will probably leave for
Chicago tomorrow but will stop in Alliance
on hor return trip to say good bye to her
many friends before leaving for her west
ern home.
W.J.Johnson, better known as 'Bill"
Johnson the sheepman," was in from the
ranch a couple of days this week and ex
pected to meet the sheep inspector but the
gentleman did not arrive. This matter of
inspection is often very annoying to ship
pers. Mr, Johnson has about one thousand
sheep in feeding which he will ship this
month. A view of his ranch will appear
in The Herald's souvenir edition.
The Alliaice Typograhical Union re
ceived its charter and other documents
from the secretary of Ihe International
Union last week, and the local organiza
tion is now in working order. The Heu-
ald, which is always abreast of the times
anu trio cnampion 01 organized labor, is
the first to place the union label at the
head of its column. As the saying goes
vmong printers, The Herald shop wants
to be "on the square" in all matters, and
hence its lead in this matter.
The Women's Guild of the Episcopal
church met with Mrs. E. C. Anderson
last Tuesday. A large number were pres
ent, and the lunch provided was very nice.
As it was the last meeting before the de
parture of Mrs. W. G. Simonson for Deni
ver, the rector, who was present, took this
opportunity in behalf of the Guild to wish
her much happiness in her new home and
church affiliations and also expressed the
appreciation of the Guild for her interest
in its welfare during the several years of
ner membership, most of the time as presi
dent. The next meeting of the Guild will
will be with Mrs J. Armour.
Moving a Print Shop.
There's no fun and a whole lot of
work in moving a print shop. And
that's the muss we arc in this week.
With three presses and a bulky paper
cutter and dray loads of type and paper
to move from a second story to the
ground floor, through a narrow stair
way, takes lotos of patience and sweet
oil. Still, with a good system laid out
by the workmen, the feat of moving
The Herald office from over the post
office to its own building just north of
the Zbinden-Miller block was accomp
lished with little or no friction, pied
typo or upset cases. Of course, at
times there was a pinched finger or
stub that brought forth expressions not
exactly appropriate in print, but they
wer'nt so bad. The big Bnbcock print
ing press was moved by John Rudowsky,
an expert machinist from the Great
Western Type foundry at Omaha, who
is a genius in his line. The monster
machine was taken apart and readjust
ee as if it was a mere toy. John came
a long ways to do the work, hut it re
quired a man of his ability to fill the
bill. The draymen also handled their
part of the work skillfull.
While we are about all moved and
partially arranged in our new home,
The Herald desires to state that it is
"at home" to its patrons and friends
and you will find the latchstring hang
ing out for a hearty welcome to all.
If this issue of the paper does not
come up to the standard of excellence,
our readers will bear with us, under
standing that the task of moving The
Herald plant consumed a great deal
of time hence our shortcoming for
this week will be overlooked.
Notice.
All dogs caught running at large in the
city, without a tag on, after next Monday,
January 18, 1904, will be put in pound
and if not redeemed will be killed. Per
sons not having secured tags may get them
of the city marshal.
