Alliance High School Scholars Win.
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. La
Fayette Blanchard of Chadrou won
second place in the humorous class.
In the dramatic contest, Miss Blanche
Sperling's rendition of the "Painter of
Seville" bt ought her fust honors, while
Miss Lena Williams of Crawfoid was
becond. 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. At tin biihiue'-s meeting of
the association, D. W. Haes of the
Alliance high schools, was elected
president for the ensuing ar and
Prpf. Bartz piesident ot the Declama- i
tory association. I
About sixty tickets were sold hctei
for Crawford the day of the meeting
and hence our educational enthusiasts
were considerably in evidence on this
occasion.

iiluzc in el Tailor Shop.
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.
