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.

county or other officials do not violate
tho law, they need not fear tho press.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tho Woodman; Ball.
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

Surface Cultivation.
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. Campbell, Lincoln, Nebr.
