Rev. Dr. Horn of Grand Island was in
the city Wednesday, calling on old time
friends. 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.

Several other contests were had and
there were a number of other exhibitions
that proved decidedly interesting. While
the Alliance boys were a little light they
nevertheless nude the series decidedly in
teresting for the visitors who make the
game more of a pastime than do the
local contestants, The attendance at the
bowling alley on these occasions was quite
large and much interest manifested.

CONNELLY IN CUSTODY
Thu Suspected Murderer of Henry
Miller Taken to Harrison. '
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.

At a regular meeting of tho Latky lodge,
No. 2G2, D. of II. the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, God in his wisdom and mercy
has darkened the home and saddened the
hearts of Sister Shrewsbury and family by
removing the daughter, Margaret, who de
parted this life March 15th, 1904,
Whereas, By this sad event there comes
to each member of the Latky lodge a sense
of their personal loss, and that to each
and all alike, sooner or later, we, too, must
take our departure to the great beyond;
therefore be it
Resolved, That her Godly life, faithful
ness in duty and kindness of heart, will
ever be remembered; that we will cherish
her memory and practice her virtues as
shown by her daily walkthrough liie.
There Is ti world above,
Where parting Is unknown,
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alonu:
And fuitli beholds thu dying hem
Translated to thut glorious sphere.

Mrs. S. W. Thompson,
Mrs. C A. Mackev.
' Thanks only partly express our feeling
to all, both strangers and lriends, for their

tenths of his household goods besides
the paper money in the drawer amount
ing to about $20. Mrs. Stewart was still
absent in Illinois and had many of the

might have been.
