Pat Ckowk visited Omaha newspaper
and business offices last week and yet
Donoliocs police force never got a
glimpso of him. Why don't Chief
D0110I100 employ a few newspaper re
porterB it lis really ' wants to catch
criminals.
It should nut bu forgotfen that when
the Elks recently bought the furniture
that local dealers in Competition with
Omaha and Chicago merchants carried
off all tho business. In one case six
tables were bought and one oL the Al
liance dealer's prices f. o. b, Alliance
was a8 low as the same goods were
quoted by Chicago merchants f. o. b.
Chicago, and yet tho freight on each
of these tables was $r.8i. The same
is true in most other lines. You can
save nionoy by patronizing homo
merchants.
Amono the 200 visitors from all over
Nebraska and adjoining states who
visited Alliance last week for the Elks
and Knights of Columbus installations,
everyone was loud in their praise of tho
handsome, elaborate and novel window
decorations. Alliance business men
did themselves proud and havo few
equals and no superiors when it comes
to decorations. Among tho most
elaborate was the electric light coin
pany'B illuminated decorations, and
George Darling, tho furniture man,
was n rlose second.
Tim organizing of an ordor of tho
Knights of Columbus in Alliance means
much for the advancement of the Cath
olic church not only in this city but
throughout western Nebraska. In the
east, where this order is strongest, the
councils nro composed of the best mem
bers of society and this united effort
lias resulted in making tho good, which
it aims to accomplish, felt in every
locality. If the newly organized
court here in Alliance is similarly con
ducted, tho result will be beneficial not
only to members of that society but to
society in general.
Captain Ai.lhn G. Fisiiek was elect
ed mayor of Cliudron by one majority.
Now his opponent has commenced
contest proceedings and hopes to oust
the mayor elect. He alleges that the
mayor was elected by a few people who
were not entitled to vote. We venture
the assertion that all the questionable
votes were not polled on tho Fisher
sido qf the case, and we have little use
for soreheads. Whoii you go into a
political fight, put up the host you
havo and when you got loft don't get
sore. The public despises a man who
cannot take defeat as well as victory,
when he is a candidate for public office.
We have known Captain Fisher for
some years and we believe Fisher to
be ne fair in politics as his opponent
and here's hoping the majority may
prevail.
J pon Sullivan fined Judge Critas
$iv 'Hi and, costs for contempt of
cotut tht other day in Sullivan's couit
at Chftdron. Critos refused to pay
and wont to juil until he could
got ,the Suprome court to re
leas him, which Judge Holcomb
did by wire. Now the matter will take
up the time of the Supreme court.
Tha court had issuod positive instruc
tions and Critci violated them. If the
case had been reversed and C tit 03 had
been on the bench his word would have
been law and he. would not havo
neglected to enforce it. It's as fair
for one as for tho other. Stand up
Judge and pay your fine like a man.
If we had fewer cases like this to en
counter in the Supreme court, they
might have more time to devote to
legitimate cases, and less demand for
constantly increasing the number of
Supreme judges.
