While at Lincoln he received a telegram announcing the dangerous illness of his mother at Shawnee, Oklahoma and left for that place Wednes day. Last evening members of the M. E. church surprised their pastor. Rev. C. W. Ray, by presenting him with a beautiful library chair after prayer meeting. Such acts of appreciatiou go a great ways to en courage ministers in their religious work and for the betterment of mankind. The annual meeting of the "Ladies Mis sionary society of the First Presbyterian church met at Mrs. W. C. Mounts Friday evening, March 11, and the following offi cers were elected: President, Mrs. H.

There was Pete McCann of the Cudahy company who advises his customers to "save the wrappers," and there's the genial Mr. Pennell who insists that it is far better to discard the wrappers and save the clothes by usiug KjJsph,,White Russian." Now, what's the-poor housewife to do where there's such conflicting authority on such an important domestic subject) Its a question worthy of important consideration before the annual convention of the Nationnl Woman's Suffering) association. These men who go about ths country de stroying the happiness, of thousands df homes by such conflicting soap stories should be taken before the women of the country in convention assembled and made to explain why they will insist in spreading this disturbance. The soap question must be settled at once. In Old Mexico. A letter received this week from A.

The re mains were laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery after funeral services had been conducted at the M E. church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. W. Ray officiating. The floral tributes were beau tiful and expressed the high esteem in which the departed soul of Margaret was held. The dead girl had just reached that age when she was at the threshold of young womanhood, like the rose that blossoms from the bulb, most beautiful in the morning of its existence. Margaret was a God-loving daughter who devoted her short life to religious work and doing such acts that lightened the burdens of humanity. As a devout member of the M. E. church and a teacher in the Junior League, Margaret did faithly work, and while poor, blind man is not given to know the destiny of a soul departed, we do feel that tier's has found a happy abiding place in the bosom of that Creator whom she loved and obeyed while in the mortal state. Among those who attended the funeral were Mrs. Shrewsbery's brother and sister, Benj. Young and Mrs. Dr. Survcr of Indianola, Iowa. In Honor of Our Mayor.

The awful tragedy enucted at the ranch of James Connolly, in Sioux county, Tuesday forenoon, in which Henry H. Miller of this city lost his life, has cast a gloom over the com munity, and the thought that there lives in this law-ahiding state a man with such murderous instinct is dis tressing to say the least, and he he whosoever he may let the wrath of justice come upon him. According to information received the crime and events relative thereto are as follows: Henry Miller and James Connolly had become involved in dispute over tb,c ownership of cattle that had strayed or were stolen. One animal a steer that was in Connelly's possession, was the principal conten tion. Connolly was in Alliance last Monday, when Miller informed him of his intention of going after the steer.

They were met by "Lou Ray, an employe, to whom Mr. Miller explained his errand and asks for Connelly. When told that he was not in the house he went out to find him and have a talk over the matter. According to the evidence of Desch, Miller saw Connelly a short distance away nnd went toward him when Con nelly fired with a rifle and Miller fell dead, his body being pierced with a bullet. Connelly is then said to have rode horsebick toward Scottsblnff. Harry Desch and Lou Ray at once went to neighboring ranches and gave the alarm. . The coroner of Sioux county was notified hut failing to ar rive by Wednesday evening, the re mains of the murdered man were brought to his home in this city by Guy Lockwood, who Went out to take charge of the body. A coroner's inquest was held yestcr duy at the Bell building and the testi mony given by those who witnessed the crime was substantially the same as here given, and the jury's verdict was as follows: We, the jury, find that said Henry H. Miller came to his death from a gun shot wound at the hands of James Connelly, said wound being inflicted by said James Connelly feloniously, unlawfully without provocation by said Henry H. Miller A. S. Rkeii, W. W. Norton, J. S. MUKINEV, L. N. WoRLEY, .lOHN BKENNAN. L. F. Smith. Attest: J. F. Moore, Coroner.

Eighty loads now consti tute a train. We used to think the sixty car trains were large enough.

The committee appointed to call upon the wives, mothers nnd sisters of members of B. of R. T. have been at work the last week recruiting members prepartory to an organization of the ladies auxiliary.

The following information regarding mining, published in the Wyoming Tribune at Cheynne, last week will prove of interest to the Alliance stockholder "Hon, A, A. Spaugh was in the city this morning and gave a Tribune man some interesting information regarding the work that is now being done 011 thu bilver Glance copper mine in Muskrai canyon, south of Manville, The mine is owned by the bun rise Copper Mining company, of which Mr. Spaugh is the president. The mine has been worked with two shifts of men all winter and enough ore has been taken out to warrant the shipping of it at once. The mine is fifteen miles from the railroad and the ore will be hauled to Manville by team. It is expected that a car load of high grade ore will be shipped daily beginning the first of April. The ore has been contracted for by parties from Rapid City, S. D., and it will be shipped and smelted. The ore, running as it is at present, contains from 27 to 33 per cent copper and the vein n widening as the shaft is sunk deeper. "I he company has also struck a small vein of gold which will be developed with the expectation of finding a good body of the ore before a very great distance is reached. Abe Uhry, the peaceable and gentle manly representative of Donald & Porter, Grand Island, was in the city recently, and we beg to inform Mr. Donald that while Abe was in the company of certain specialty men his behavior was above re proach.
