The public was surprised Monday afternoon to hear of the sale of uhe Reck block to C. E. Marks, the consid eration being $3, 500.00, and the Marks Saddlery Co. now own and occupy their own building, one of the most desirable business corners in town. The community was still more sur prised later in the day to know that W. W. Norton had sold to Sang G. Reck, the two vacant lots on the cor ner of Box Butte avenue and Cheyenne avenue for a consideration of 3,700.00 Mr. Reck has already completed plans for the erection of a handsome two story brick block on that comer, to be occupied at once by either a mercan tile firm or modern hotel, Mr. Reck re fused to say which. Should the build ing be used for mercantile purposes the basement and first floor 50 by 100 feet will be used as a mercantile house, gen eral merchandise and clothing, or a department store, while the second floor will be used cither for lodge rooms or offices. In either event the building will be put up at once, and it is confi dently believed that the W. D. Rumer department store will occupy the first floor and basement! This is the most desirable corner in the city, and in fact the only desirable business location now vacant, and the building of a modern business block means much to the city. Nate Hart came down from Lead, S. D. Monday and renewed old ac quaintances and combining business with pleasure sold his building now oc cupied by the Horace Bogue store, adjoining the Fambus clothing store to Frank Wiltson. The consideration was SG.ooo. The Bogue store will con tinue to occupy it. The second floor is occupied as an office building. Nate has recently organized a base ball team at Lead, and anangements are pending that may result in his ball team coming here to play our boys for a purse on the fourth. Naturally Nate wants to celebrate here, as Alliance is his first, Love. Mrs. Sarah Rodgeis, widow of Jas. Rodgers, deceased, has purchased the K. 13. Hamilton residence prorerty opposite the high school building on Box Butte avenue, and will occupy it in the near future. Consideration S3 1 000. www Mission Next Week. Beginning next Sunday and continu ing a week, there will be a mission conducted at Holy Rosary Catholic church of this city, under the direction of the renowned lecturer aud church missionary, Father Lambert. Ar rangements will also be made to give a like religious service at Hyannis at about the same time, under the super vision of Father Murphy, who comes here with Father Lambert., The mis sion will be for all, and especially non Catholics are invited to the sermons, which will be delivered every evening. Following is the daily order of services: 5:30 a. m.. First Mass with short sermon 8:00 a. m.. Second Mass with instruction 3:00 p. m Special instructions 7:30 p. m. Services and principal sermon Farming in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The farmer who contemplates chang ing his location should look well into the subject of irrigation. Before mak ing a trip of investigation there is no better way to secure advance informa tion than by writing to those most interested in the settlement of unoccu pied lands. Several publications, giv ing valuable information in regard to the agricultural, horticultural and live stock interests of this great ' western section have been prepared by the Den ver & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western, which should be in the hands of all who desire to become acquainted with the mertts of the various locali ties. Write S. K Hooper, G. P. & T. A. Denver, Colo. Recovered Stolen Goods. Part of the goods stolen from "The Right" clothing store some time ago, were recovered Saturday. P. Romig, who works in the Burlington yards here, found a new suit case in an emp ty box car, where the thieves had no doubt left it, as it was too bulky, and in it was about 30 worth of the stolen stuff, and most of it had been worn some or tried on and perhaps it did not fit and was left behind. No trace of the robbers so far. Injured in a Runaway. Little Margaret Briggs, the five year old daughter of D. H. Briggs, was seriously injured in a runaway last Saturday near their home ranch, 25 miles southeast of here. A horse tied behind the buggy became frightened, tipping the rig over and spilling the occupants, little Margaret and her grandmother, Mrs. Patmore: both were thrown out and Margaret's leg got caught in the wheel nnd was broken above the knee, and she was otherwise severely bruised. Mrs. Patmore was not seriously injured. A telephone message brought an Alliance surgeon there in two hours and a half and the little sufferer made comfortable as pos sible. We need a hospital. Memorial Association Organized. A permanent organization has been perfected that will insure the proper memorial day observances this year and forever after as the association is formed to perpetuate an association whose object it will be to commemor ate the day. Tho meeting was called by Rev. Jeffers at tho First Presbyter ian church Sunday. The officers elect are: Ira E. Tash, President. Smith P. Tuttle, Vice President. D. W. Hughes, Secretary. The executive committee are: A. T. Hcjriingway, Capt. W. R. Akers, G. W. Regan. S. M. Stnyser, Ira Reed, D. W. Buttler, G. C. Jeffers, Mrs. W. C. Mounts and Mrs. Lcora S. Rustin. Messrs.

Orators at Hastings. A large delegation of Alliance ad mirers of their young orator, Earl Mallery, were down at Hastings last week to attend the meeting of the state high school oratorical association con test. In the oratolical class were three contestants, Earl Mallery of Alliance, HarryThompson of West Point and itaipn raiKennerg, 01 von:, wiitle the judges were discussing the merits of the contestants, both York and Cen tral City conceded that Mallery had won, but to their surprise, the judges decided against him and gave the prize to West Point. Alliance is proud of her young orator and ho was entitlod to more than he received. Among those in attendance from here were, Prof. W. H. Bartz, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Mcwhirter, Clare Mewhirter, Blanche McDonald, Leah Kraemer, Ethel Nolan, Lloyd Johnson and Byron Ufford. Prof. Bartz Avas elected president of the associacion for the ensuing year. Welcome Father DeVos. Father DeVos, the new Catholic priest arrived Friday and entered at once upon his duties. He is small in stature but large in experience, energy and results. From tho Spaulding Enterprise, his home paper, wo note that since the advent of Father De Vos in that parish, there have been baptised in that church 975 children and a number of adults, 14S marriages and 208 funerals. But perhaps the most lasting and worthy monument he left behind was tho Sisters' school, that now has enrolled 231 pupils, who are instructed in all the arts and sciences that go to make up the home. Just before leaving ho had the pleas ure of knowing that the U. P. railroad company had through his efforts, do nated a block of land to thecitvfora city park. The city of Alliance welcomes Father DeVos and will work hand in hand with him for tho location of like enter prises for Alliance. An amusing incident occurred yes terday which serves to illustrate the character of the man. He was asked by a prominent business man to have a cigar. "No thank you" he re plied, "I have not time to smoke. Be sides I much prefer to invest my cigar money in books, believing that I can get more enjoyment out of them. Now don't understand that I object to you smoking, for I do not. I like to see men smoke if they enjoy it, but for me, no thank you." Again we say, welcome to Father DeVos. Bartlctt Richards Returns. Bartley Richards and family who have been spending the winter in Southern California, returned Sunday morning from Denver, where they at tended the national stock meeting. Mr, and Mrs. Comstock, who had been attending the Denver meeting, returned with them. Richards reports a pleas ant winter, but regretted the necessity of leaving one of the children behind at a Denver hospital. The party spent Sunday here then left for their home at Ellsworth.

Lovers of the drama were given a treat by the Sanford Dodce neonle Fri day and Saturday nights. Friday night the bill was Francesca Da Rimini and it was certainly fine, better to the minds of some than "Macbeth" played Saturday night, but both were a rare treat to theatre goers. One might think that Dodge was tho whole show show, but aticli is not the case. Ten people were with him, and Miss Louise Marshal took the part of Francesca and Herbert Do Gtiene were as much tho show as Dodge himself, and in Lady Macbeth, Miss Jessie Marshal distinguished herself. But nil were good. Really no weak points. ..:..h...:x.xm:hm:..mM":J V RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. & ::"::":::::::-:::::::::: Mrs. J. Armour leaves today for Hardy, Nebr. J.
