The editor of the Pioneer-Grip is lo
be pitied fur the position lie lias taken
in regard to city affairs. The poor
fellow (like the obedient servant that
lie is) bends to the dictates of masters
and again assumes the role of n ''re
former." Hchi ml him stands a repro
bate, who dates not come out open,
with lash in hand urging this editor on
in the false cry for city reform. Now,
it may seem cruel to refer to city his
tory of the past, but justice in a com
parison to the present municipal ad
ministration demands it. It is a well
known fnct that under former govern
ments the city of Alliance had the rep
utation of being n veritable Sodom.
Gambling ran rampant, the liquor
traffic had full sway and prostitutes
brazenly paraded the streets without
restriction, Under such conditions the
town was simply rotten. Mr. Broome
is aware of this fact- From Omaha to
Sheridan and Chadrou to Denver the
reputation of his administration to
this day gives this city a bad name.
And further, the city of Alliance re
ceived not one cent in its treasury as a
result. Arc the voters of Alliance
going to listen to the dictates of this
man on questions of such importance?
Will they permit a man who is led by a
baseless character advise them what
constitutes good morals? Wo doubt it.
If the Pioneer-Grip will utter one word
against wife desertion and prostitution
Tun UiiKALD will gladly support the
morals it desires established. Come,
now, speak up. Be a man of your own
convictions, Mr. Editor of the Grip.
Don't permit your personal honor to
trail in in the filth with such trash as
the now moral recruit of the Alliance
Times.
The voters and tax payers of Alliance
arc urgently solicited to investigate the
present administration, and Tin; Her
ald is willing to wager its reputation
that the moral and financial standing
of the city during the past year has
been far more favorable than any time
in the past. When the clement that
now wants .to gain control under the
cloak of morals, were turned out the
city was in debt several thousand dol
lars. This has all been paid under the
Hucchscustciu administration. The
criminal record for the past year shows
a. better state of affairs than heretofore
and not one cent of public revenue has
been found missing. Do the citizens
of Alliance wish to discard t! is con
dition and return to the hole-in-the-wall
era, when gamblers, prostitutes
and boot-leggers carricdou their vices in
almost every business block in open de
fiance and without a cent of revenue?
If so, take the Pioneer-Grip's and that
slitiiintr light of morally, llarve Ellis'
advice. Otherwise support the Citizen's
ticket headed by Mayor Bucclisenstciu:
which has done so much to place the
city on a sound moral and financial
basis.

respect to the money question. The
democrats of tho country will repudiate
the stand taken by the so-called dem
ocrats upon the United States supreme
bench.
If the republican party hopes to obtain
advantage by the stand taken by the
five justices comprising the majority,
the republican party's administration
must show Us sincerity by proceeding
along tho lines of the opinion delivered
by Justice Harlan against the coal
trust, the beef trust and other combina
tions that arc today oppressing the
people.
It will be of no avail for republican
organs to point out the fact that the
three Cleveland appointees on the su
preme bench have taken 0 position an
tagonistic to the democratic national
platform. They must demonstrate that

ed to enforce the law occording to the
clear-cut interpretation of the law as
laid down by Justice Harlan. Omaha

that they reflect the attitude on trust

represent the position of the democrats

The two fires of Friday burned over
about 40,000 acres. One started from
n freight going cast in the morning,
near the Bennett crossing, swept along
the south side of the river. The other
was started by sparks from No. 41
going west, about one mile out of town.
Every available man aud boy rushed
out to fight fire but the strong wind
which prevailed made slow work of ex
tinguishing the flames and carried the
blaze with great rapidity. Their ef
forts were centered on saving the build
ings of T. J. Poole and J. C. Bennett,
but it was not until the fire came within
a few feet of the former that the blaze
was subdued. They were a tired lot of
men who returned to their homes that
night, some having battled with the
fire aud wind for twelve hours, as was
the case with the Furman boys east of
town, who worked on both sides of the
river. Many think that it would be
no more than right for the railroad
company to pay them for their services,
which saved the company many hun
dreds of dollars in losses, but we un

a Money Maker and a Monev
Saver. It's the cause of fewer

Seles.
VN
A VERY LARGE percentage of the progressive, go-ahead farmers now have hand cream separators on their
farms. In fact, no farmer owning four or more cows can longer afford to be without this most useful and
most valuable of farm machines, .
The use of a good hand cream separator means that every user of such a machine will be well repaid
for their labor in connection with the keeping of cows, and that there will be a handsome profit derived as
well. The use of a good band cream separator mentis more profit and less work. The advantages of using a
hand cream separator arc many. It lessens labor; it enables one to get more cream and better quality of
cream than by older methods; it leaves you the warm, fresh, sweet skim milk for your calves or other young
stock; it does away with the long, tedious drives to the creamery station; it enables one to keep all their milk
at home except the cream that it is desired to sell, and saves the hauling both to and from town of the large
number of cans necessary where the whole milk is taken away from the farm for the skimming. There is no
comparison between the amount of labor necessary in keeping cows under the old and new system. The hand
cream separator is a machine that has made dairying pleasant and profitable instead of irksome and unprofit
able. It makes the difference between good methods and bad methods. It makes a difference between irk
some labor and pleasant employment.
Many larmers tell ns that they make a better profit by shipping us their cream than by making butter
at home and peddling it to their country merchants, who make it necessary for them to trade it out at their
stores. Under the EMPIRE way of dairying you haul a can or two of cream to town in a buggy or light
wagon and receive cash for the same twice a month. We pay prices based on the New York butter market at
all seasons of the year, for cream from any good make of separator, delivered at your nearest railway station
or at our recaiving station in Alliance.
We sell the splendid, easy running EMPIRE Hand Cream Separator because it's without a doubt the
best separator made for general farm use. It is easy to run. easy to clean, and few complicated parts to wear
out or get out of order.
If you are interested in a cream separator, drop me a card and you can try one at vour home before
buying. Sold on easy terms when desired.
