The City of Alliance
H'
W11u.11 waiting for the legislature
to enact a wolf bounty law, this would
be nn excellent time to got out with
horso and houndi nnd kill off n few
that nro bothering your sheep or poultry.
You will notice, if yoti keep an eye
on the votes of the legislature, that
Senator lJresoo and Representative
Curry nro voting right on every meas
ure that comas up, and thoy are not
making much hoiso about it, cither.
Postmastuk Tash informs Tim
Herald that the month that' has just
passed was the largest month in point
of post office receipts in tlio history of
Alliance. This is the best barometer
of business improvement!) nossible. Al
liance is enjoying a steady, permanent
growth nnd business men all look lor
ward to the best year in its history.
LT..ANCI- is a thriving city of more than 5000 population, pros
perous and glowing prospects for the future. 400 rnilos west
of Omaha. 20 miles north of Denver. It is the metropolis ol
western Nebraska. It has water works, electric lights, a three story city
hall and fire engine house, first class fire company and apparatus. Two
large school buildings; employs twenty teachers to educate its 1000
school children. Seven churches. U. S. land toffice, Court house, two
National Banks, modern business" blocks nnd handsome residences. Its
railroad facilities are the best. It is on the main line of the Burlington
from either Chicago or St. Louis to Portland and the Pacific coast. It
is the Division headtjuarters for western Nebraska, Wyoming, South Da
kota nnd Mpntana, the offices of General Superintendent Rhodes having
been recently located here. The western division shops are located
here and more than Coo railroad men are employed here. Its people
nre hospitable, enterprising, and intelligent. Its climate is healthful and
invigorating In short, no town in Nebraska presents superior induce
ments for men of capital, enterprise and push, to locate within her
borders. Letters'.of inquiry addressed to the Alliance Hkrald will be
answered promptly nnd in detail. Better write for a copy of our hand
some twenty-four page illustrated Industrial edition, it will tell you more
than we could write you in a month.

KitcBNTi.v Tun Huualu learned of a
rupture in the big beef or packer's com
bine and indications point to better
prices for meats. Already more than
a cent and a half reduction has been
announced in the pneo of dressed beef.
On the other band, beef cattle promise
to reach the highest price in Juno this
year for many years past. Ranch
men who have had the judgement to
hold their cattle are about to receive
their reward.
Not the least of the evils of the big
system combinations among the rail
roads is the remoteness of the central
authority from tlio local patrons of the
roads. The local officials, who are in
toach with, and cognizant of the needs
of their own particular' districts, -are
stripped of authority and rendered
powerless to conserve the interests of
both the people and tlio railroad inter
ests which are in most cases identical.
Sunator Drczcc has introduced a
bill to change the present divorce law.
The most important change provides
that divot ced persons must allow one
year to elapse before they marry again.
If Brezce would add to his divorce
law a clause to prohibit the inter-mar-riago
of blood relation, he would curry
favor with the clement of our popula
tion who stand for higher civilation.
The whole subject of marriage ajid di
vorce is however a subject for national
legislation and very little good will re
sult until the government shall provide
a law that embraces every part of tho
National domain.
WAKE UP ! COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Tun commercial club of this town
should brace up and do something,
aside from amusement for themselves.
They can if they vyill. We need and
can get a hrnuch distributing house
from one or all of tho big packing
houses, that Consumers and retailers of
Hacking house products can have their
wants supplied fiom here, without
waiting twentv-four to forty-eight hours
on shipments from tho -tucking cen
ters. The first one here would get a
monopoly on the business that would
compel others to follow suit and a res
ident manager and one or more assis
tants would add to the population.
Thun a branch or distributing whole
sale grocery house would do a land
office business here,
natural distributing
to a largo territory,
distributing houses
pa why not the necessities?
There are oyer 5000 people here nnd
50,000 people adjacent to Alliance who
could and should be supplied from
here. Why not get busy and get some
of these distributing houses here?
There wa3 at one time a small ware
house, owned by the railroad company
used as a ware-house or storage-house,
for one of the packing houses but the
railroad needed the room and destroy
ed the building. No effort was made
to retain the business and we lost it.
That place, small as it was. employed
a man constantly.
Newberry's Warehouse, ' just com
pleted, is the pride of the town. We
arc advised that the railroad company
will work hand in hand with the Com
mercial club in establishing more such
houses. A half dozen such houses can
be located here within a year if the
Commercial club will wake up and go
after them.

Wo predict an early boom in the
number of trusts organized. So many
of tho precious youth of the country
know how it is done after Mr. Lrwson's
instructive cxhhibit.
O
What has become of the man who
used to exchange enthusiastic views
witli you over tho humor and pathos of
Dickens' creations ? Extinct as the
dodo! Swamped beneath tho rising
flood of modern literary ephemera.

"I t61d the railroad managers to
Alliance being the kfecP thcir lobbyists away from the
point or gateway caP'to1 ad J would sec that the rail-
Tho brewers have roads wcre treated fairly." This is
here. If luxuries tho substance-of Governor Folk's state
ment regarding his movement to sup
press lobbying. Suppose that other
famous dcmociat, Richard Crokcr, was
in Folk'vs place what a howl would
arsc from his hungry legions over
tho chief's monopoly of the dispensa
tion of "fairness" to the corporations
of old Missouri.
O
It may be unpatriotic for the Russian
working classes to precipitate trouble
at this time, while the nation has more
than its hands full, but to the impar
tial observer, loyalty to such a govern
ment as theirs looks more like fanata
cism than patriotism. There does not
seem to be a single sound reason why
any of the common people of Russia
should raise a finger to prevent the
overthrow of the barbaric institution
that crushes hope, freedom and life
out of the vast majority of them.
( RANDOM THOUGHTS. I
LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.
Congressman Ilinshaw has secured
an additional $10,000 appropriation for
the Omaha Indian supply station.
Burkett has secured complete rural
free delivery for the tst congressional
district, and Millard has done tho same
for the second district. Kinkaid has
secured the valuable G40 acre home
stead law fot the sixth district, and
each of the other republicans are doing
things for thcir district or state but
has any one heard of any thing that
our democratic congressman has done
except distribute garden seeds and
draw his srlary ? It don't pay to send
democrats to congress, and the second
district of Nebraska found it out in
time to replace Hitchcock with a good
republican after March 4th.
( LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.
When the Alliauce-Gurnsey line of
the Burlington was built some four
years ago, it opened up one of the best
agricultural sections in the state and
half a dozen towns along that line have
grown and prospered and now have a
population of several hundred each,
and a good, well watered, irrigated
farming community surrounding each,
yet the Burlington railroad are giving
that line train service that is worse
than the old stage coach lines, only
one train every other day. If Jim
Hill had not absorbed the Burlington
this would be different, and we are
glad to see President Roosevelt and
the Department of Commerce and la
bor go after these giant merger corpor
ations and let us agaiu have train ser
vice that we are entitled to.
What does Alliance's Anti-Saloon
league think of Bishop Potter's plan?
-- O '
It is not a dearth but a surfeit of
remedies that promises to delay rail
road legislation.
O
The juvenile pugilistic rule "no pul
ling hair or scratching faces" should
be applied to that Mahoney-Rosewater
encounter.

Say what you please, it looks like
a dirty trick to collect a man's delin
quent taxes by the application of tho
scavenger law.
O
'If Omaha could fight its municipal
battles at home, perhaps the state leg
islature could give some attention to
the affairs of Nebraska.
O
If the czar had only proposed his
conciliatory measures before that last
effusion of "innocent blood" had come
between the people and himself 1
O
Talk about enlightenment and up-
to-datetiveness in America! Russia
can give us cards and spades and then
some when it comes to offical graft
O
To recognize the opportune moment
when to crystalize into law new govcr
mental policies is as much the attri
bute ot statcmauship as the creation of
them. ,
o
Perhaps those western railroads
would welcome the adveut of a com
mission with power to declare the hos
tile grain tariffs unreasonable and to
establish and enforce a reasonable
rate.
O
The western grain shipper and the
western and southern railroads may
take some of the conceit out of Chicago
