He lectured at Ilyannis the prev irus night to a large audience. As usual, the people of Alliance were delighted to meet our former resident. The Famous, us usual, has fired the first gun for the spring of 1904, and the result shows a general lowering of prices on a new line of latest style clothing for men and boys. Also a great hit in merchant tailor ing. Read the Famous "ad" and then call and examine the stock. The miisicale and reading program ren dered at the M. E. church last Friday, night proved an intersting affair for the large audience present. The ladies who arranged this delightful entertainment are entitled to much credit. The proceeds amounted to about $25.00. The mother of Messrs. Harry and F. M. Raymond, who resided at Waterloo, la., died last Saturday, after a siege of illness. The sons were present at her bedside when dissolution took place and cared for the best friend a boy had on earth mother during her declining hours. W. E. Spencer will- resign his position at the Alliance shoe store tomorrow. He will go to Omaha Sunday night to attend a meeting of the agents and traveling men for the Empire Cream Separator and upon his return will devote his entire time to the separator business and buying cream. Attention is called to the advertisment of the Empire Cream Separator, of which W. E. Spencer is general western agent. This hand separator is the most popular machine of the kind on the market and diaryman, rancher and farmer will do well to investigate its merits. See Mr. Spen cer and learn all about it. John M. Schirk of Havelock and Miss Matilda W. Hunzicker of this city were united in marriage Wedneaday evening at 7' o'clock, Rev. C. W. Ray of the M. E, church officiating. The newly married couple left the same night for Havelock, where Mr. Schirk is employed in the rail way machine shops. There was a partial eclipse of the moon Tuesday evening, but owing to the cloudy sky the view was considerably interrupted. When fair Lunar passed over Alliance it was plain to be seen that the man who resides therein was holding his nose while he read the Pioneer-Grips city reform "bluff." Such nonsense was even too much for the old man in the moon. The ''reform" ticket recently- nomi nated for city control has a new convert in the person of Harve Ellis of the Times. The common sense, moral Value of Al liance will look with suspicion on such characters who presume to dictate how the decent people of the city should vote on municipal affairs. Harve Ellis as a re former! That's as bad as the devil getting religion. Just investigate his record (both public and private) before you take his ad vice as to who should control the affairs of Alliance. Simon Spry made another deal Monday morning whereby he secured control of the saloon owned by Coffee & Doud. Mr. Cof fee, who retires from the management of that establishment, is a social as Simon himself and hence that place only changes proprietorship, while the same genial char acter will prevail. With such men as Bimon Spry in control of the saloon busi ness in Alliance there's no danger of Harve Ellis or the Pioneer-Grip editor having their angel wings singed. SPECIAL NOTICE The Herald's Illustrated Edition Un avoidably Delayed Till April 8. Word has been received from the pub lisher, Mr O'Kuefe, stating that the Hint ald's special edition could not bo com pleted and ready for delivery unil April 8. The letter states that the engravers find the amount of work such that it will be im possible to complete the task before next week. Then there is the vast amount of delicate printing that will require more time than was expected. Besides this, several ranch people have called at the office with views and were anxious to have them appear in the edition, since Mr. O'Keef departed for Denver with the large amount of views, etc., they were forwarded and of course will require more time to ex ecute. We regret exceedingly and as much this further delay in presenting the special edi tion as the subscribers and patrons who have waited impatiently for its appear ance. But its like death and taxes what are we going to do about it? Mr. O'Kccfe however, advises us to state that the edition will be puolished Friday, April 8, (rain or shine, we presume) and that it will be considered a work of art of which its equal has yet to be duplicated in Nebraska. Depot in Ashes. The Burlington depot at Hemingford was destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon and most of the contents consumed, including the houscgoods of the agent. The fire, it is -thought, 'started from sparks from the engine on No. 41, for the building was found to be ablaze immediately after its departure. The Word of.God. Special meetings at the M: K. church commenced last Monday evening, Rev. C. W. Ray, the pastor, being assisted by Rev. Dr. J. W. Mahood and Rev. J. M. Tib betts of Sioux City. At the opening meet ing Rev. Ray delivered an able address, using as his theme the title, "Dressed to Meet Jesus." The visiting clergy assisted at every meeting during the week and the attendance indicates that close interest is being manifested in the work of religion. Mr. Mahood is an exceptionally powerful speaker and his associate, Mr. Tibbctts, inspires the soul with rendition of beautiful religious songs and singing of the gospel, the word of God. No one should miss at tending these meetings, which will con tinue next week. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Sunday school 10 a. m. At 11 a. m.

' The socond chapter in tha Miller murder case was enacted last Friday when Sheriff Campbell of Scottsbluff county arrested JamesConnellyat Scottsbluff. Thoofficorof tho law secured his man s ithout trouble and at once took so Goring, the county sunt. Last Tuesday the deputy sheriff of Sioux county conveyed Connelly to Hemingsford nnd thence to Crawford, where the pris oner was taken on to Harrison, tho county scat of Sioux county, where ho will have a preliminary hearing Monday, April 4. Council for tho stato has been Secured as also that for the defense. Messrs. Mitch ell nnd Gilman of this city will represent the former nnd Messrs. Noleman of Al liance and Wright of Gering tho latter. Every precaution was taken to avoid in terference and hence tho accused mau was taken by a route considered most advisable. It is said that Connelly admitted killing Mr. Miller, and when ho arrived at Hem ingford broke down completely, crying like a child. No doubt the recollection of his happy wedding day, which occurred at that placo, overcame htm and now that he is in tho hands of the law, charged with this terrible crime, was the cause of his crushed spirits. But it is too late. He fostered a jealous, revengeful disposition and must pay the penally. Its a tragic conclusion of a vicious nature. The pen alty for this crinib will no doubt bo severe, but justice must deal with James Connelly as he deserves. Resolutions. Resolutions of condolence and respect by Alpha Div. 309, G. I.
