To Build Hospital.
At a public meeting held at the Com
mercial Club rooms last night, the sub
ject of a new city hospitnl was discuss
ed very thoroughly. The final result
arrived at was that a building costing
not less than SS.ooo.oo should be built.
The election by ballot of a committee
of nine reptesentative citizens who
will have charge of the collecting of
funds, securing a site, the building and
furnishing a building and to provide for
its maintenance, resulted in the elec
tion of the following: C. A. Newberry,
W. S. Raker, Dr. H. II. Bellwood,
Dr. B. W. Bowman, W. W. Norton,
S. K. Warrick, Geo. W. Clark, B. F.
Galvin and Prof. W. H. Bartz. The
committee elected Dr. Bellwood as
president and Prof. Bartz secretary.
Newberry and Clark were appointed to
secure a suitable location. The next
meeting of thchospital association will
be held next Wednesday evening at the
commercial club rooms.
The funds for the hospital will be
secured by public subscription and al
ready one man has agreed to give S500.
and furnish a room, another man
agreed to give a sum eiaal to his taxes
last year. It was found that his taxes
last year were more than $600. The
county will doubtless help with a hand
some donation and so would the city,
and with the contribution of a few
more public spirited citizens like those
already mentioned, the thing is done.
If the committee don't sec yon go
and see them and tell them how much
you will give to help this worthy enter
prise along.
Cnrotitc to the Inauguration.
A contingent of cow boys and old
time frontiermen passed through the
city Monday night on their way to
Washington, where they will take part
in tho inaugural doings of President
Roosovolt, which will be of unusual
splendor. The uni'iue feature of the
display will be the presence of some of
the most noted characters of the west,
including woll-known cowboys, Indians,
scouts and characters that assisted in
making the west notorious in American
history. Seth Bullock, the pergonal
friend of Theodore Roosovolt, has
charge of chis party and will see to it
that the wild west part of the program
is conducted in a most interesting man
ner. He is afreadv in Washington and
his special features are fast arriving.
Among the Bullock bunch arc such
well known frontier characters as
Frank Smith an old government Indian
scout and Captain Willard, another
old-time stout and Indian fighter. This
troop numbers fifty men, all cowboys
and western men and in the parade
will ride their own border horses, and
will wear "chaps" blue shirts and som
breros, in addition to their 'ropes, six
shooters and slickera. The appear
ance of a batallion of cowboys will be
an innovation at an inaugural parade
and add not a little to its itorestiug and
picturesque character.
James C. Dahlman, cowboy, former
sheriff of Dawes county, Nebraska,
democratic national committeeman
from this state and chief fugleman for
William Jennings Bryan, has gone to
Washington and will ride in the Roose
IRRIGATED FARHS
We have for sale some very fine irrigated lands in the Big Horn Valley of
Wyoming, along the line of the Burlington Railroad. Irrigated farming is as
sure and the returns are as regular as the interest on Government bonds
only several times as large. These lands are sure to double in value inside of
two years. The Big Horn Valley has no cyclones nor floods; alfalfa hay
averages five to seven tons per acre: wheat from thirty to sixty bushels; oats,
sixty to ninety; potatoes, three hundred to seven hundred; corn, thirty to sixty
bushels.
Cood Crops Every Year Without Exception
We want to get you interested in irrigated farming and we would like to
taki! you to look at this land. Don't let this grand opportunity to acquire a
choice irrigated farm pass by without taking advantage of it. The price of
this land will undoubtedly advance within a few months, and the terms now
are but 1-5 down, the balance in small yearly payments. Water rights per
petual. Our foulder describing the locality, its climate, its soil, its grand
water courses and its immense irrigation enterprises is free for the asking. It
will pay you to look into this.

The Alliance public school scholars
have arranged to give an exhibition of
their studies at the city hall tomorrow
and Saturday afternoon and evening.
Each scholar will contribute one page
or lesson of each of their studies, and
the collection of all the work so exhib
ited will he put in book form and pre
served. As this exhibition is of inter
est to all, it is expected that all who
can will call and inspect the work. No
admission will be asked, and the effort
of the teachers and their pupils is
wholly in the interest of education. A
musical program will be another pleas
ing feature of the occasion. The music
will be furnished by the high school
orchestra.

Another Coon Caught.
Nigger Payne was captured by Po
liceman Cardwcll Friday night and
landed in the "jug" to keep company
with Sanford Smith for tho Beckwith
store robbery last week. Payne was
wearing 11101 c new clothes than Cardwell
thought he owned and pinched him.
Payne confessed to having helped do
the job at "The Right" stoic, and told
where the balance of the plundor was,
which Cardwell found. This makes a
clean case and Payne will probably
change his residence as soon as Judge
Wostover arrives. This makos five
candidates for the pen that have fallen
into the meshes of Detective CardwelPs
drag net, and four of them are "coons."
As a remover of obnoxious characters
