Sale of Reck Building to Marks
and Purchase of Norton Corner
Mean Much for
Alliance.
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

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. Smyser and Hemingway are
delegated to prepare articles of incor
poration for the perpetuity of the or
ganization. Memorial services will be held at the
First Presbyterian church, Sunday
evening May 28, Rev. Bogue presiding.
Rev. Ray delivers the sermon. All the
ministers of the city are invited to par
ticipate. After the sermon an oppor
tunity will be given all those who
wish to join the Alliance Memorfal
Association to subscribe to the
constitution and be adopted at that
time.
The memorial services will be con
ducted Tuesday afternoon and all busi
ness will be suspended while ceremony
is in progress. The program will be
found in these columns next week.
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. Welcome home.

The fair held at the First Presby
terian church last Thursday and Fri
day nights was a complete success in
every way. Much credit is due the
ladies who had the program in charge,
and the children who performed. Tho

costumes, consisting of fan drills, para
sol drills, marches aud a Japanese
wedding. After the program the Jap
anese dry goods woio opened, where
all kinds of fancy articles were sold.
Ice cream, and cake wero served by

Pin in Her Throat.
Mrs. Marshall of Bayard, brought
her little daughter to Alliance Satur
day, who had swallowed a pin that had
lodged in her throat. The doctor
located the pin by the use of an Ex
Ray and had very little trouble in re
moving it by the aid of a pair of for
ceps. We need a hospital.
Gleason Opening Postponed.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather last Saturday, the opening of
the Gleason-Franklin ice cieam parlors
has been postponed one week. Re
member tho date, May 20, Saturday.
Dodge Delights Audience.
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.
