The Philippine Commission is author

now Secretary Tnf t urges that t' c Pan
ama Canal Commission "be clothed
with legislative, executive, Judicial and
administrative power over the canal

four dopaitmunls of the government in
place of the old-fashioned thrco, but
the Constitution is virtually obsolete in
such cases, so that" makes no difference.

district court at St. Louis, Monday, on
the charge of having accoptcd compen

Rialto Grand and Securities company
of St. Louis, belore the postoffice de
partment. The jury deliberated foity
one hours. A motion for a new trial
was immediately filed by the counsel for
the senator. If tho verdict'is sustained,
Senator Burton will lose his scat in the
senate and forever be prohibited from
holding any office of public trust Each
couit constitutes a separate offense and
Senator Burton could receive a penit
entiary sentence of two years or a ?io,
000 fine on each count. Senator Burt
on's conviction is the first under this
section of the statute which was enacted
by congress in 1864. Senator Burton
was indicted in January last. Although
as a member of congress he could not
be arrested untilafter that body adjourn
ed, he voluntarily surrendered himself
to the prosecuting authorities. He still

A divoicc case was before him. The
attorneys asked that everybody except
the court reporter and the lawyers be
excluded. Judge Hollonbeck balked.
He was not there for star-chamber
business. He said he would cheerfully
exclude all childien from the court
room, but was firm in the belief that
all courts should be wide open to all
men and all women. The machinery
of tho coutt is the propel ty of the peo

machinery and note the goid or bad

any case which is too rank for the cais

too rank for a space on the com t docket.

The Times editor insinuates that it is no

when a man of his record insists in telling
the people of Alliance how to vote on
questions of this nature he is ns much out
of place as the prisoner who now lies in
rthc Box Butte county jail awaiting trial.
We must insist that a man's record is not
his own when he poses as -a moulder of

In the cqntcst from Scottsbluff at
the Congressional convention, it was
decided that Gene Westcrvclt's eye

delegates and they were awarded seats
in the convention. Gene was tho hap

numerous delegates. The contesting
delegates took their medicine gracefully

One night about six weeks ago this edi
tor lost a five dollar bill in the yard nt
his home. This week as our cousin, Sam
Pont, was hauling the manure from the
yard he found the money. He had taken
a load to the field and while he was un
loading thought he saw a piece of paper
money. On investigation he fouud it was
the lost five dollars and restored it to the
owner, nvcryboay says the Keeister edi
tor is lucky and it is true. Tho incident
also proves how remunerative it is to fer
tilize land in Nebraska.
Now the question arises, what was
Editor Pont doing in the manure pile?
Mr. Rumcr has been circulating a pell
tiou among our citizens asking the city coun
cil to make suitable provisions for lighting
the residence part of the town. The peti
tion has been liberally signed and it looks if
there is a unit of opinion in the matter.
The maor and council will do their part at
once after the consensus of public opinion
has been demons tratcd. This is a move in
the right direction. The resident portion
of Alliance should have more light.
The Times editor charges tho editor
of this paper with dealing unfairly with
Mr. Evans in a business transaction. This
we refute, and if such -vas the case, we
ask the Times editor if Mr. Evans did not
have the same recourse legally that Mr.
Johnson took only a few weeks ago when
he employed an attorney to collect back
wages from the Timej due him?

St. Ellis makes the statement that we
filed bills in duplicate at the court house
for printing and drew warrants for the
same. We'll wager $50 that the Times
(editor is a liar, or to be more respectable
about, will give the "gentlemau" $50 if he
will prove his assertions. Now, St. Ellis,
produce or do the other tiling.
Tho assessors of the county held a meet
ing at the court house Wednesday with
County Assessor Reed Tho new law, or
rather amendments to the old law, were re
viewed and a general understanding had.
The representation was large and tho ses
sion proved beneficial to all.
When the HeUalu announced that it
would publish a special edition St.. Ellis of
the Times was prompt to predict that we
would have the "hot end of the poker in
our hand." And last week this same
prophet avers that there is $500 in the
deal. That fellow must certainly have a

Real estate transfers of recent date have in
cluded the selling of A.T. Long's place west

Sam Trenkle, consideration $14,00. Mr.
Drefke contemplates removing to Missouri.
Rev. G. C Jeffers, who has again suffer

as to be able to be out, a fact not only his
parishonera but other Alliance people will
be glad to learn.
The union revival meetings at the M. E.
church arc largely attended and deep in

of conversions nre the fruits of the minis

religious awakening will prove of unfathom
able benefit to the community.
St. Ellis' talk about the milk of human
kindness and brotherly love is enough to

"A few disgruntled republicans of Box
Butte county engineered a set of resolutions
through one of the sorehead so called Roose
velt clubs of Alliance which certainly does
not express the sentiment of Box Butte
county republicans. Those old time sore
heads have been a cancer on republicans in
Western Nebraska for a number of years
and all through the blight of populism their
"me too," "big me" methods of politics help
to prolong the years of populist mis-rule.
They can see no good qualities in any-body

AVERY LARGE peicentage 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 hand cream separator menus more profit and less work. The advantages of using a
hand cream separator are 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 farmers tell us piat 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 ifa without a doubt the
best separator made for general farm use. It is easy to tun. 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 your home-before
buying. Sold on easy terms when desired.
