The oratorical, humotous and dra matic contests of the high schools of northwest Nebraska took place at the opera house in Craw foul last Fiiday evening and as a result the Alliance contestants won the distinction of firbt place in the contest. Earl Mallery, who but a week, ago was awarded first honors in the local field succeeded in keeping up his lecord in the oratorical class at Crawford and will repicscnt this district in the coming state meet next spring, with chances decidedly in favor of the young Alliance student. Fail has a full conception of the icquisites of an orator and with the natuial abil its he poscsscs, will make a decided hit. Miss Ethel Nolan also won the laur els of the occasion in the humorous class contest, just as she did at the opera house in Alliance the week pic vious. Her rendition of "Naughty Nell" brought down the house, and Miss Ethel was awarded first honors by the judges without a dispute.

Miss Irene Roup's presenta tion of "Zingerella, the Gypsy Flower Git I," was given in a manner to receive the applause of the entire audience and while the little Alliance lady did not succeed in carrying of the honors of the occasion, her merit was recognized and like her appearance at the home contest, she won the admiration of all. Dean Fordyce of Wesleyan univer sity lectured before the audience and with the musical numbers produced, and papers read in which Alliance teachers took an important part, the session was both instructive and enter taining.

A fire in W. H. Matthies' tailor shop 111 tho littlo brick building adjoining Mounts' bather shop on Box Butte avenue, Wednesday evening at mx o'clock, caused damage to the amount of about $1,000, which was covcied 1 insurance to the amount of $800. The cause of the fne was the igniting of gasoline which Mr. Matthies was using in cleaning clothing. After the use ut the exploMe fluid, a hot pi easing iron was applied to the cloth and immedi ately flames enveloped Mr.Matthies and while he escaped an almost miraculous death by binning, his face and hands weie evciely scorched. The small room was fillod with uiuce goods, suits and ovei coats, and while some of the piopeity was removed, the gieator pait was either entiioly destroyed or dam aged. The depaitinent was on hand promptly and succeeded in keeping the flames within the confines of the tailor shop by the free use of water. It was a close call to a disastrous conflagration as the scene of the fire is in the centet of frame buildings. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Services will beheld in the church as usual.
