Edition Continue and Congratu

Nelson Fletcher of this city received
the following letter from S. J. Alexander,
slat agent for the German Amcricnn
Insuranco compauy of Kew York and the
same gives true expression as to how the
Industrial Edition is appreciated even by
those who have no particular interest in
this locality. The letter reads as follows;
My dear Sir Am in receipt of the In
dustrial Edition of the "Alliance
Herald," under date- of April 8th, 1904.
and to say that 1 nm pleased with this
beautiful present, does not express it, it
carries mo back to the days when this was
considered the Groat American desert,
uvi-ujMuu wy wiiii nnimaisnnu J nutans on
ly. The scene on the front page, where the
Indians are viewing the railroad train as
she steams across the prairie reminds one of
the fast approaching civilizatiou and the
retirement of the Indians and his game.
For everywhere the steam engine .goes.
the rthite man follows with rapid strides.
If a person had told me when I landed in
Nebraska in i860 that two-thirds of the
Staio would have been a garden of Eden
at this date, I should hae been inclined
to Relieve that he was in a dream and not
responsible for what ho was saying. Al
liance has every reason for feeling proud
of such an enterprising editor as Mr. T. J.
OiKeofo has proven to be. This perido
cal would be credit to Harper Bros., and
an artist who can produce such a paper as
this beyond the sand hills, is entitled to
the joyal support of every person in that
section of the country.
Rev. Charles E. Connell, past of the
M. E church at Ainsworth, Neb., in a
recent letter to the publisher of Tub
Herald speaks as follows in regard to the
Industrial Edition
"Dear Sir Though a little late, allow
me to say in regard to the Industrial Sou
venir Edition of the Herald, a copy of
which I received some time ago, that I
not only consider it a work of beauty, but
a work of art which would do credit to
almost any of our largest publishing
housos, and one which certainly reflects
great credit upon the editors of the Herald,
but I w )uld further say that it not only
reflect i credit upon the editors but upon
,the,cit jf Alliance. Heminoford ami nv
Butte cojnty. and is one of which business
men, fanners and stockmen of the county
should leel sufficiently proud, that they
would ake pride in sending out a large
number of them to eastern homeseekers as
