Tiiirtv run cent, increase in freight receipts at Alljance over last year is the rcpoit of tho auditing department here. Nothing shows tho progress and pros perity of tho city better than that. Wiiats tho matter with Guy Lock wood and Dr. Kuight, the base ball cranks? If wo arc to have a base ball team this season It's ubout time to get busy, A city of 5,000 pcoplo without a. ball team would bo n curio. Tun scramble over tho Equitable Life Insurance society affairs, may yet prove serious. An application 1ms been made to have a receiver appoint ed by ono of tho policy holders. Hoyd is stiil at tho head and refuses to resign. A uouplu of Chinamen were in town yesterday to engage in tho laundry busiucs ? There arc enough Americans to do our washing and the American enterprise should be fostered. The "chink" does not beconio a citizen, is not progressive ami does nothing to improve tho town. Let tho Americans keep your laundry in order. Tun Grip figures out that it cost $393-33 less to run tho city adminis tration this year than it did last, but ho neglects to mention that the last administration collected over $5,000 mora in fines and licenses than did tho present administration. Last year at this time wo were out of debt and somo S500 cash in the" treasury. Today wo nre over ?4, 500 in tho hole. EnnoR Sprecher of the Schuyler Quill, who has been on trial for libel was acquitted, Tuesday, and the press of the state rejoice. When a news paper is prohibited from criticising tho acts of public officials, they aro robbed of one of their principal functions. If county or other officials do not violate tho law, they need not fear tho press. More Senator Sprechcrs will make bet ter officials. Tim other day while the writer was in Lincoln, a prominent railroad man wiio is .1 subscriber to Tun Hhkai.d said: "Do you know that the Alliance Horald givus the most completo, accur ate and up-to-date raihoad news of any paper in the state?" We assured him that that was the object of Tim Hkk ai.i, to give the most complete news of every kind in its territory, and natur ally felt proud of the compliment paid its railroad hews sorvice. It might bo added that Tub Hun alp was the first paper in the state to give the news of the resignation of Mr. Rhodes and the promotion of Mr. Pholan and Mr. Birdsatl. Waktbd A Florist in Alliance. Tho past week there have been onough cut flowers used here to make a profit in a graen house for three months. iivery store in town nas nau more or loss beautiful flowers to decorate their places of business for the Easter sea sou. Every church has had and used immense quautities of both cut and potted plants. The societies have used many. The Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineer's ball must have used a large number, and there is a constant and growing demand for flowers both potted and cut; and if the express alone was saved it would make a handsomeiprofit to say nothing of the convenience and pleasure of the great flower loving public. -Hfr-H-MiW)fr- t The City of HLLIANCE is a thriving city of more than 5000 population, pros perous and glowing prospects for tho future. 400 miles west? of Omaha, 236 miles north of Denver. It is tho metropolis of 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 tooo school children. Seven churches, U. S. land office, Court house, two National Banks, modern business blocks and handsome residences. Its railroad facilities are the best. It is on the main line of tho Burlington from cither Chicago or St. Louis to Portland and the Pacific coast. It is tho Division headquarters for western Nobraska, Vyomlng, South Da-, kota and Montana, 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 are 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. Lettcrstof inquiry addressed to the Alliance Hrrald will be answered promptly and in detail. Better write for a copy of our hand some twenty-four page illustrated Industrial edition, it will tell you more than wo could write you in a month. .. '--HH Civic Graft. The Pioneer Grip in commenting on The II ukald's statement that the city hall was a monument to" the Bucchsen stein administration attempts to be facetious in the following plagarized language: "Speak not to me of marble slabs Or costly towering shafts, When monuments so cheap As city halls, Can be built by civic graft." How the erudite and aesthetic editor of the Grip can connect tho building of the city hall with civic graft is beyond us. Tho hall was built during this Bucchsenstein administration, but not by civic graft. The most rabiu oppo nent of the mayor elect cannot and do not accuso him of civic graft. What he did do and what the public appre ciate him for is for turning into the city treasury the funds derived by fines and licenses, nnd gamblers were not exempt. As a result the treasury of the city was some 4,200 richer than the present administration and bad that much more to expend in pub lic improvements. Not so this year. While gambling has continued, it has been winked at and the city has derived no revenue from it. It is sim ply a case of making the gambler pay or allowing them to gamble without pay, and the majority of voters seem to prefer to have them pay. Tint Herald docs not pose as an advocate of gambling in any form, but when it is permitted, the city should have the revenue, and lighten tho bur den of taxation. With all the economy of tho present administration there ate some $5,000 of outstanding warrants against the city. While a year ago, when the Bucchsenstein administration closed, there were no outstanding warrants and somothim: over soo cash in the city treasury. In addition to having paid off S4.498.76.of outstanding war rants which was the amount of out standing indebtedness when he took the reins of government in May 1903. It is not a question of how much you spend, but how much you have to spend. The present administration spent tho money but did not collect it, while the Bucchsenstein administration collected the money,. but did not spend all of it. Wo prefer the latter course. If we must have gambling, let us derivo some revenue from it. A Pretty Wedding. Last night at 8 o'clock, Rev. Ray, of tho Methodist churdh, pronounced the words that made Mr. Horace J. Kuhn and Miss Francis Elizabeth Coruu, man and wife. Tho wedding occurred at the home of tno brides mother on Cheyenne avenue, and was witnessed by the immediate friends of the con tracting parties.

The drill and dance of the Foresters last night' was n pronounced social success. The Spacht orchestra was at its bc3t and furnished excellent music. .No other drill teams came to take homo the $25. prize hung up for the best drill team, and the prize remains in the local treasury. A very well ex ecuted exhibition drill was given by the local team, after which dancing com menced. The opera house was tastily decorat ed, and light refreshments were served on the stage during the evening. The continual wet weather prevented a large attendance, but those present enjoyed tho affair all the more, on account of having ample room. The success of the affair was largely due to the com mittee work of Ted Fielding, Tom Richardson and Geo. Jones. ' City Council Meeting. At the last meeting of the city coun cil, the election returns were canvassed as reported in The Herald.' A cross ing across Laramie Ave., at the Warrick-Highland corner, was ordcredJn. The petition of F. M. Broome and others, fpr extension of water main 810 feet on Cheyenne Ave. was laid over for the second time. City Treasurer Knight was instructed to make demand of county treasurer for poll tax fund belonging .to the city. City Attorney Gillman reported that the railroad crossing between Alliance and South Alliancp was not in the corporation and was not under city jurisdiction, it be ing a matter for the county commission ers or road overseer to adjust. 1 lie city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance having for its ob ject "permaneut sidewalks."

In going over the B. & M. in the cen tral and western part of the state I note an unfavorable condition in a large per cent of the wheat and oat fields, caused by the heavy rains in the early part of May. The surface is packed and crusted, and spots of a greater or less magnitude in nearly all fields have a liglit green color, ana tlio leacs arc narrow and point straight up. While the drying out by evaporation has much to do with this, therois another trouble; the lack of air, which is shut out by this crust. The pores of this crust are daily being made smaller by the upward movement of tho magnesia salts and alkalies. These are being brought to the surface by the moisture, which is, under this condition, fast escaping. WHEN AND HOW TO HARROW. Don.t get into grain that is six or nibre inches high when the dew is on. Wait just loug enough in the morning ,. ; : for the blades to dry off and no longer. Set tho teeth slightly slant ing, not too much, and as a rule har row crosswise of tho rows. Break the surface thoroughly. Grain that is six inches high or over, thick, with good width of blades and of good color, needs no harrowing. If this advice Bceins too radical, then just try a part of your field, even a mall part, and in two weeks bo kind enough to report to me the results. Yours for better crops, H.W.
