KILLED AT WHITMAN
Brakcmnn Ryan's Life Crushed Out
Under the Wheels of a
Freight Train.
The sad news came from Whitman
early Saturday morning that James R.
Ryan, freight brakeman fur J. W. Mc
Cmckcu had been instantly killed.
Ryan started to couple the way car to
the trnin when he slipped and three
cars passed over him crushing bis
shoulder and thigh so seriously that he
only lived a few minutes, but was con
scious until the lust and explained to
the conductor that he slipped as he
opened the coupler, and fell with above
results.
The lifeless body was brought to
Alliance and taken to the undertaking
rooms of Georgo Darling; aud embalm
ed, after which the remains wore taken
to the home of condnctor McCrntJkcn
to await the arrival of relatives from
Massachusetts. The father and broth
er of the deceased arrived Tuosday
and the brotherhood of railway train
men hold a brief service at the station
Tuesday evening nfter which the sad
party started for their home at Noith
Hampton, Mass., where interment will
be made in the family cemetery.
W. A. Manchester and I. A. Hold
ridge accompanied the body cast.
Deceased was but 27 years of age
and had been engaged in railroad work
here for four years, and was at the
time of his death secretary of the B. of
R. T. The sympathy of the order as
well as the citizens go out to the be
reaved parents.
Election Next Tuesday.
Very little interest is being mani
fested in the coming city election for
the reason that the issues were settled
at the primaries when the nominations
were made. It being a citizen caucus
and only one ticket in the field there is
really no opposition to the election of
the ticket named there except in the
case of candidates for police judge.
Judge Barry aud A. F. Baldridge
were a lic at the primaries and both
names go on the ticket and to add in
terest, W. S. Ridgell has filed his
intention to be a candidate, with the
city- clerk and there will be a three
cprnared nice for the judgeship, with
tCbtrirwiiiT rehsoudbly certain of
success. The scramble for the place
is a friendly one, and any one of them
will take success or defeat with the
grace ofa patriot.
Some little complaint is heard from
some quarters because of only one
ticket but it comes from those who
want to sec the scramble on election
day. To remedy this in the future
there seems to be a growing demand
for party primaries at future elections,
and the direct primaries to select the
candidates for each. Then no man
will have a sure thing of election until
after election day. The advocates of
this plan say that now the primaries
settle the whole questiou and no elec
tion is really necessary.
1 Will Organize April 30.
Arrangements for the organization
of a councii of the order of Knights of
Columbus are well under way, and the
date set for the initiation is Sunday
April 30. The degree work will take
place at Zbinden's hall in the after
noon. It is expected that fully sixty
members wjll be taken into the oider
on that date several of whom will be
from out of town. Invitations have
been sent to- councils thoughout the
state and no doubt they will respond
by sending good delegation to take
part. The teams to do the work have
not as yet been selected, but it is very
likoly that Lincoln, O'Neill and Omaha
will furnish the same. Other organi
zations of the K. C.'s outside of the
state have also been invited to be pres
A BIG BARGAIN!
We have a corner lot in best residence portion
of the city that we want to sell quick, and we offer
it at an astonishingly low price. We only ask $50
down, and the balance can be paid to suit your
convenience. This lot is 50 by 1 50 feet, and is a
beautiful site for a home. There is no better
vacant residence property in the city, and its pur
chase would be an excellent investment for anyone.
The terms and price make it the best bargain in
the city, and it will sell quick. The first applicant

HOSPITAL PROGRESS
The Lincoln Land Company Donates
A Site and Money Contributions
Doing Added to the Fund.
The board of trustees of the Alliance
Hospital association mot at tho city
hull Tuesday night and adopted nt tides
of incotporution, and drnftod a sot of
by-laws, and uppointed a committee to
solicit funds for tho erection of the
building. The soliciting committee are
Dr. II. II. Bcllwood, Father B. F.
Gab in and C. A. Newberry.
The soliciting committeu got busy tit
hnco and to demonstrate their intercut
'and earnestness in the mutter Now-
hetrv pledged $500, Dr. Bellwood Saoo,
Dc Bowman, jaoo, and Prof. BarU,
$ioa as a tnrter. That makes $1000
from four men.
: The Lincoln laud company hits do
hated a block uf land on which to
Imild tho hoipitol, which wilt he avail
able nrnn as h$ooo to $8000 litis
biwui ouiuittted.
The committee have assurances of
nnothnr ono or two ! 00 subscriptions
aud it loolu; now ns though Alliance
w,duld 'have a hospital in the near
future (hat will be a credit to any city
nittl will provide a home for invalids
without traveling 250 t.- 400 miles.
HOW TO GET TIIU MONEY.
It has been suggested that a grand
charity or hospital ball bo given on
"May day" May first for tho benefit of
the hospital fund. A movement is on
foot now to secure the Ft. Robinson
Military band and orchestra of twenty
eight pieces to furnish music for the
occasion. Each church organization
and each benevolent and frutcrnnl soci
ety in the city could give a nice dona
tion to the hospital fund and would
willingly do so as the object of those
institutions is charity, aud with what
can be secured as general subscription
the thing is done. The Herald will
publish tho program of tho soliciting
committee aud tho amounts subscribed
by each.
Every public spirited or charitably
inclined citizen of Alliance nnd the
adjoining counties are requested to see
the soliciting committee, nnd say how
"Much you can give toward so worthy a
.'charity. Here is a copy of the articles
of incorporation.

Friday night an hour bufotn it was
dun, the Burlington Soli Special nrrivod,
but none too soon to meet the wailing
crowd of farmers and business inoti
who had assembled to listen to the man
who have made n lifo study of arid
laud cultuiti. As soon an the train
stopped tho waiting crowd filled ono of
tho cars and tho potato question wis
disciiBsud. Much attention was given
to seed. Too uu:;h care cannot be
exercised in the proper selection of
seod. It should never be allowed to
sprout befotf planting, mid this ran be
pi evented bv keeping thu seed stock in
a sufn&etiHv cool place unlit planting
lime. This was thoroughly explained
by providing f a root or potato cel
lar and loavinr it open until Into and
cold, before putting in potatoes, mid
then keep the temperature down to
near tho freezing point. When pits or
trenches arc used, the potatoes should
be covered with a layer of straw to a
depth of six inches nnd then with three
inches of dirt, nnd allowed to freeze
solid before applying more straw and
dirt to protect the pit aud potatoes
during the worst weather. They should
then be left until wanted in the spring.
The object being to get them as near
the freezing point ns possible and keep
them there
Macaroni wheat was discussed and
was found to produce from 20 to 35
bushels per acre here, and is as sure a
crop as can bo grown, withstanding
drouth and producing a laigc hard berry
that makes excellent bread. It is well
worth trying as it produces good re
sults here, Mr. J. A. Smith of Hcming
ford having had splendid success with
it. F. J, Coil of Hough, Dawes Co.
raised 30 bushels per acre last year of
this wheat.
Brome grass wan highly recommend
ed ns n forago crop, being hardy and
producing green pn&turo two inontbs
longer than prairie grasses, Js very

sod. Somovorygood reports are made
from this country with this best of arid
land grasses.
Prof. E. A. Burnett gave a very log
ical talk on dairying. He says that any
cow that will raise a good big fat calf
will make a good dairy cow regardless
of her breeding. Ho is n strong advo
cate of the hand separators and says
that calves can be raised on separated
milk alone with plenty of green pas
ture for them.
The meeting lasted over four hours
and more than 150 people listened to
it. The special went from here to
Bridgeport thence to Sydney and Ster
ling, nnd back cast over the south line
to Lincoln. If interested in any of
these or other subjects relative to
arid land crops, scud to the Experiment
Station at Lincoln, and a bulletin will
be sent you frco on any subject.
