While at Crawford Wed nesday ho united in marriage Perry Els- wick of that place and Miss Mary B. Fink of Hot Springs. The groom is quite well known in Alliance. Rev. Ray re turned Thursday morning. A letter to friends here from Fred Pal mer, who accompanied Wm. Raynes to Hot Springs, Ark., states that Raynes is considerable better and will recover. His case, however, was more serious than con sidered when he left Alliance. He was suffering with partial paralysis and for a while it was feared he would lose the use of his limbs. E. H. Rood, who has represented the Armour Packing Co. in this section for some time, and one of Alliance's most es teemed citizens, will remove to Omaha, where he will enter the employ of the M. E. Smith Dry Goods Co. We regret ex ceedingly to lose Mr. Rood, but hope the change he is about to make will prove of material benefit to him. W. W. Norton, our enterprising mer chant, has purchased the J. R, Johnson bankrupt stock at 50 cents on the dollar and will close it out in the next 30 days at the lowest cash prices.

Broich was called to Council Bluffs Tuesday by a telegram stating that Joseph Carey, his brother-in-law, could live only a short tine. Mr. Carey resided in this county for a number of years, hav ing been in the employ of Mike Elmore for a long time and later lived near Hem ingford. He is an upright man and his numerous friends regret to hear of his unfortunate condition. Geo. M. Goodenough and Editor Wei ton of Mullen were in the city Monday, Mr. Goodenough came to meet his wife who has been with his parents near Hem ingford for a few weeks. The Gooden ough brothers have engaged the services of a detective to ferret out the mystery of their sister's death which occurred at Omaha a few weeks ago. They still be lieve that she was the victim of foul play. The Herald acknowledges a visit from Mr. Goodenough and Editor Welton. A party of eastern gentlemen were in the city Monday and went from here to the Platte valley for the purpose, we are informed, of investigating the sugar beet industry and consider the proposition of erecting a refinery. In the party were John F. Harris, E. A. Patter, Joy Morton, Chicago; Robt. Perkins, Burlington; Frank Colpetzer. H. G. Leavitt, Col. Pratt, G. W. Holdrege, Omaha. Mr. Morton called on the Mollring brothers while here and enjoyed a visit. They were "boys together" at Nebraska City years ago. 'The cold weather of the past few days has been rather severe coming, as it did, after a period of uninterrupted weather of the mildest nature For several days and nights the mercury has slid up and down thermometers with rapid succession. The lowest registered was 24 degrees. A light flurry of snow accompanied the high winds from the west, but not enough to interfer with traffic or cover the ranges. Ranch men report stock in good condition with no ill results on account of the recent inclem ent flurry. The people of western NeD raska have no reason to complain of the atmospherical change. It is nothing in comparison to the heavy snow and bitter cold teported from all over the east. FATAL COLLISION NEAR BROKEN BOW Four Men Killed and a Large Amount of Rolling- Stock Destroyed. COLD ADDS TO HORROR Residents of Alliance Kngtnccr Tlios. Kelly, l'irenmn C. V, llnton mid IlrnKc 111 1111 I0I111 A kern. TRAI'l'IC AT A STAND STIl.L. FOR HOURS Freight train No. 46 enst bound, Wednesday evening, met with a most destructive accident at a water station and siding west of Broken Bow. From the best information obtained it appears that an extra freight, also cast bound, had orders to sidetrack here, permitting 4G to pass. The engineer of the special pulled down to the tank for water, which was supplied his engine, and was in the act of back ing on the siding when freight No. 4G came thundering along at a high rate of speed and before the special had time to get in the clear the collision with all its horror was completed. It is said that the crash was terrific The engine pulling 46, in charge of En gineer Thos. Kelly and Fireman C. F. Eaton, ploughed through the rear of the extra, destroying twenty cars and burying herself beneath the wreckage. Fireman Eaton and Brakctnan Akers were instantly killed, but Engineer Kelly was buried beneath the wreck and the groans of the injured man could be heard by his associates, yet they were helpless to release him. The bitter cold added to the unfortunate man's condition. It was not until as sistance came that Kellcy was released, but he was dead and his body frozen. The accident took place nt 5:45 p. m. Train 46 was in charge of Con ductor BufTiHgton; the special by Con ductor Hargrave and Engineer Hudson. The fourth person killed was-a tele graph operator riding in the way car of the special. His name could not be ascertained at this writing. llie Douy ot lingineer Kelly was taken to Glcnwood, la., for interment, accompanied by his bereaved family. The remains of Fireman Eaton were conveyed to Seneca. He leaves a wife to mourn his sudden demise. The body of Brakeman Akers was brought home this morning on the belated train and taken to the home he left but a short time previously in the full ness of physical manhood, but now lifeless and a body of clay out of which' had fled that cheerful soul be loved by a devoted wife, fond father and admiring friends. The deceased was a son of Captain W. R. Akers and leaves besides his father a devoted wife to whom he was married about a year ago. In the death of these three em ployes the Burlington 'railway sustains a severe loss and the people of Alliance will miss the genial countenances of the men who went down to tragic deaths, in the awful collision. Traffic was completely paralyzed as a result of the debris that was piled up on the track. Cars were piled up in every manner and it required hours of labor to clear the right-of-way. Pas senger train No. 41 did not arrive un til after three o'clock this morning. Nos. 43 and 41 are also considerably off time as a result. A Comparison. Work on the special addition of The Herald is progressing satisfactorily in spite of the inclement weather of the past past few days, when it was up hill work driving over the country and being out doors any length of time. A large number of views have been secured from different parts of the county and they will give an excellent idea of this section of western Nebraska in the illustrated edi tion. If th'ere are any ranchmen in Box Butte county who have not been called on and desire space in the forthcoming edition an mat win pe necessary is to send in views of their ranches, etc. Alliance and other towns will come in for sufficient space to let the world learn of the progress and prosperity attained by them. A word in regard to the nature of this enterprise will not be out of place here. It should be understood that the task and expanse involved in getting out an illus trated edition, such as It is our aim, is no umall matter, In fact, it is n losing in vestment financially. But that is what we expected in the start. Our desire is to place Box Butto county and Allianco before our neighbors in thoir true light. We renlUe (he benofit it will afford us in a businoss wny. Alliance is as good a town as Shorl an to the west and Broken Bow, oast of ur, and one of these places has and the other will soon issue handsomely illustated editions showing the advantages of their respective localities. Why should not we be up and a coming in this matter ? The edition to be issued from this office is to be of a purely local benefit. Tho money paid out goes to workmen who live in tho city and the bulk of money received for advertising goes back through the same local channel from whence it came. This is not the case with transcient solicitors who represent foreign publications. At present the business men of this city are as,ked to invest in outside journals and schemes that will take every cent out of town and give little or nothing in return. The comparison is readily understood and the advantage in patronizing an enterprise suctions The Herald presents is un questioned and should be appreciated. $lark Olds was down from Hemingford Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Gardner, the first pastor of the Congregational church at Hemingford and who is now located at Silver Creek. Neb., writes this week as follows: "Alliance Herald, Dear Old Friend: I want to thank you for your kindly visits to us in our new home. You never look like you need a bath; so clean, fresh and newsy. It seems that you ought to be welcome in any home. To read you is to be more wise and happy. The good cause is prospering here for which we are thankful." Dcntlt of Diimclt Rcnnlon. It is with a doop feeling of sorrow that we are called upon to announce tho doath of Emmett Reardon, son of Mrs. Reardon and the lato John P. Reardon, which sad event took place at the home of Frank McCronry in North Omaha, last Saturday night at 11 o'clock. The cauiw of tho young man's dnath was inflammatory rheumatism, with which ho had suffered for six weeks previous to his demise. At the advice of tho family physician, Mrs. Reardon took her son to Omaha, whero the bast medical skill might bo secured in tho hope of overcoming the disease, which several times threatened tho heart. At times during tho weok he seemed to rally and the medical treatment bid fair to pro duce good lesults. But this proved only a transitory change, and while the brightest hopes were being entertained tho insidious disease was surely proparlng tho blow at life's vital organ, which occurred at tho hour above mentioned. Tho telegram re ceived by the members of the family in Al liance announcing tho death of their brother, while not wholly unexpected, brought with it tho keenest anguish. Only those who have experienced the loss of a brother or sister realize tho heartache that results from such a separation. The family accompanied by Jos. O'Connor and Lloyd Smith loft Sunday night for Omaha. Tho remains were prepared for burial and taken to Creston, whero they were laid to rest beside those of Mr. Reardon. Emmett Reardon was born at Creston. Iowa, March 22, 1888, being in his fif teenth year. He was a young man of cx amplary habits and one who to know was to admire. Hepossesssed a personality that commanded respect and his companionship was as a ray of sunshine that gave forth warmth and made one happy to be in his company. While wo mourn the taking away of Emmett we have reason to abide in the faith that says, "Blessed are they that die in tho Lord." Why can we not feel contented in the hope that beyond the veil that separates this mortal existence from that perpetual sphere, where sorrow and death do not exist, the soul of our de parted brother abides in that peace the world cannot give ?
