Baumgardncr, dated Kobe, Japan, Janurary 20, in which he says; "We reached Yokohoma Sun day after ten days sailing from Honolulu. On our arrival at Yokohoma our boat was ordered to report as a Japan transport by January 22, so we only stopped one day at Yokohoma and then came on here where passengers and cargo of Nippon Maru have been transferred to the Showmut. a ship under our own flag. We sail from here Saturday going to Moje, Japan, stopping there one day then to Hong Kong, China, where we stay two days before proceeding to Manila. We expect to reach there by February 4, ten days later than the Nippon Maru was due, but we will get to see more of Japan and China which we could not had we continued as at first. War is con fidently expected by a large number of Japanese people and they feel confident of success. Wo have visited several temples and climbed the mountains near here. Yokohoma is more important for Pacific travel and is twenty miles" from Tokio the capital but Kobe is more important for ocean traffic, much for merchandise; it is ten miles from Osaka, a city of 500,000 but not a port. There is a German cruiser in part, also French, English and Ameri can steamers. The Shomut is of the J. J. Hill line of steamers and connects with the Northern Pacific at Seattle. It is larger than the Nippon also, 505 feet long 900 tonnage. We have Sexto Lopez on board from Honolulu to Manila. He was one of the leaders with Aguinaldo in the Filipino insurrection and has been in Eng land since the war. He is not in sympathy with United States occupation of the Phil lipines but we do not find him disagree able company. It was quite cold at Yoko homa, Fujuyama being white with snow from base to its 13,000 feet snmmit; we had a fine view of it, also a smoking volca no. The first snow of the season fell at Kobe. Monday but was all melted by noon Tuesday, however, the people feel the cold and look it too. They have queer ways of warming and many of their customs and manners are extremely strange, we are well and enjoying the trip; will have cover ed 8,000 miles of ocean travel when we reach Manila and will be glad to get there as it is a long time to be on the water.' A cablegram stated that the Showmut arrived at Manila February 5; that Sexto Lopez refused to take the oath of allegi ance and wili be promptly deported. The J. R. Johnson stock of merchandise is for sale or trade. See Norton or Fron apfel. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gregg, Miss Attie Snow ane Mr. Hunsaker of Marsland were in attendance at the engineer's ball. Editor W. H. Smith of Seward, an old time friend of the writer, spent Saturday in the city. This was Mr. Smith's first visit here and he was much impressed with Alliance. The invitations, programs, etc., for the locomotive engineers' .reception and ball was executed at The Hkkald office and the work was greatty appreciated by all. The union label was in evidence and this was also a matter of satisfaction. W. 11.

UNIQUE DECORATIONS Embellish the Spacious nail Room and Perfect Arrangements Complete the llrllllnnt Affair Phelan Opera House the Scene of Reception and Entertain mcntAddrcss by Hew' Father Oalvln. FIRST SOCIAL FUNCTION A GRAND SUCCESS THE Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers of the Wyoming division of the B. & M. carried oft the laurels of the social season Wednes day night, when they gave" their first annual reception and ball, and the many admirers of this worthy organization extend congratulations to the members thereof. The work of the committees that brought about this triumphant success is praised by all who attended the social event and were the recipients of such considerations that made the time pass so pleasantly but al together too quickly. It is estimated that fully seven hundred people were in attendance at the Phelan opera house and at least a hundred more found it impossible to gain admission on account of the crowded condition of the house. The reception and program which took place here were cordial and interest ing and judging from the enthusiastic applause of the audience the selections were well received. Quick's orchestra from Lincoln began the evening's entertainment with several musical selections that enraptured the audience and set those present in a joyful mood for the night's mirth. Mr. RobefV Freeland, a member of the Brotherhood of Engineers, on behalf of the order ex pressed his thanks for the general interest manifested in their behalf and the liberal greeting on this occasion. The speaker reviewed the progress of the Alliance division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and in a most interesting man ner told of its struggles and hardships in the past, when the members had to strive against what seemed unsurmountable obstacles, but this evening, the speaker continued, the order had the satisfaction of realizing that their efforts were not in vain, and their friends are now counted by the score. Mr. Freeland was heartily applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. The moving pictures exhibited were the best thing of the kind presented in this city. The thrilling experience of a train robbery by four masked- bandits worked the audience into fever heat. The over powering of the station operator and the approach of the express "train were as natural as realty. The water tank, where the puffing engine slacked up to take water, concealed the hold-ups. Just as the train resumed its journey the robbers darted out from beneath the tank and boarded the express car, next to the loco motive. When an isolated section of country was reached the work of holding up the train occurred. Two robbers turned their attention to the engineer and fireman and the latter in combat with the outlaws is stabbed to death aud the body thrown from the fast moving train. The engineer is made to bring the train to a halt. In the meantime a fierce battle is waged be tween the other bandits and express mes senger who also meets death, Then fol lowed the dynamiting of the safe and se curing of the money packages. Next the passengers were lined up outside the cars and relieved of their valuables. The lo comotive is then detached from the train and the robbers make their escape. Other scenes show the pursuit and final killing of the outlaws while in the act of dividing the stolen property. Other pictures fully as intm anting uare exhibited. The portraits of several' prominent B. & M. employes Drought forth appreciative applause from the audience. Not only was the entertainment con fined to fleeting pleasure, which passes away with the dying notes of music, but those present ware treated to a deep, well worded address by Rev. Father Galvin, who spoke on the relationship of organ ized labor toward kindred combi nations. His reverence outlined the plans upon which the workmen conld combine with gut infringing epon the rights of others ana at tfte sane time advancing their own interests. Father Galvin also reviewed the history of the local organltation of engineers aad congratulated the members for the energy manifested in making their order one to be respected. The logical conclusions brought forth by the speaker proved him to be n deep student of that ever perplexing question of social equality. The concluding feature of the entertain ment consisted of a cake walk executed by two little girls Alice Morris and Ruth Hagar. If there are two things more than any other amusements nn American audi ence is weak on it's rag-time music and cake walks. And in the latter Alice and Ruth made a decided hit. As the saying goes among members of the theatrical profession, to be successful is to possess the natural simplicity of a child, and this lovable, childish trait together with good training produced complete success in this instance. To Miss Minnie Morris is due the credit for the little ones' accomplish ments. At the conclusion of the entertainment at the Phelan opera house the attention of the invited guests was turned to the Zbin-den-Millcr hall, where the ball was to follow. In the social history of Alliance no such large gathering of people has assembled as was present on this occasion. Though the rumor was circulated that this elegant new block was weak in the knees it stood the strain of fully one thousand people and a locomotive. And it is still there. The capacity of the room was taxed to its utmost. The committee on decoration won much praise in tho manner of artistic designs with which the interior of the hall was embelished. To give a minute description of it in print is not possible, and as the old saying goes, "it should be seen to be appreciated." The walls and ceiling were beautifully decorat ed with bunting and ribbon of the colors of the order. Pictures adorned the wall above which hung the torch and lantern two true friends of the engineer many -a dark, stormy night. A novel and interest ing feature of the decorations was a typical locomotive emerging from Belmont tunnel. The engine stood in the northwest corner of the room and with the lighted headlight and the sound of the exhaust and puffing a nearer comparison to the original was impossible. When the bell rang many an eye was turned toward the locomotive in fear that it might move ahead. But to many the most interesting feature of the decorations were the mottoes of the brotherhood, namely, "Sobriety," "Hon esty," ' Truth," " Morality." These virt- I ucs are golden and mean morn than the toogue of man' can expibss. Tb.a cci.it.- nation is the making of tne model man'and this is what the engineer should be. Of all' tradesmen to him is entrusted the most Sacred duties and responsibilities. In him humanity must have the Utmost confidence. In the darkness of night the passengers nestle down to sleep with confidence that the hand that guards their safety is controlled by sobriety, honesty, truth and morality. Then the Spirit that is the Father of these virtues rules the cab of the engine that hauls the precious human freight. At 9:30 the ball began. Prior to the grand march and by request, the cake walk was repeated by the little girls, which was greeted in the same spirit manifested at the opera house. With the ringing of the locomotive bell and the outburst of music by Quick's orchestra the long line of dancers took up the grand march lead by Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Harris. As the neatly attired couples passed in review through the spacious hall the sight was beautiful to behold and the men behind the throttle had every reason to feel proud of their guests. At the conclusion of the march the dancers indulged in the various steps to their hearts' content. The program con tained twenty numbers with three extra dances. It is only to the credit of Quick's orchestra to state that the music was all the heart could desire and assisted mater ially in making the pleasant event such a decided success. At one corner of the room delicate re freshments were served by courteous wait ers, ana tne cioaK room was so systemati cally arranged though a large amount of wearing apparel was to be cared for not the least confusion or mistake occurred. This was accomplished through a system of duplicate checks. In conclusion it is a pleasure to note that the first reception and ball given by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of the Wyoming division proved such a graud success. The organization is entitled to the auspicious recognition received and in return for the unprecedented attendance a grand social time was given. The, engineers took the whole bakery as royal entertainers aud Tim Hkhalu is pleased to be able to publish the names of those comprising the various committees, which are an follows: KMCHITION OPUMiVTSK.
