Who says Hub is a dry climate ? Tii'n glorious Fourth will bo a rod letter day for Alliance this yonr. Tilmtn's no doubt of a bumper "spud" crop in Box Bnttc county this sonson. A.sro now South Dakota starts wnr auninst thoso who illegally funcc public lands. Tiiflnu'a no doubt that the president usatl'tlio "bid stick" on Minister Hoivon when lie expelled him from the Borvicc. Tmmit of Omaha's nntiotinl banks, will, consolidate under one name. A financial margur, bo to speak. In tho death of Liberator M. Goiihm:, tho Cuban, republic lias lost one of the (itoatost men of this or any othar KC. ::. Moim , rain more grass; more grass more fat cattle. And that's the con dition western Nebraska finds itself in this season. DuAinvoon, according to latest press reports, is undergoing a sweeping moral reform. Ami there's hopes for hades 'too if that bo true. Wmt.R Russia is debating peace terms, tho Mikado's army is making life miserable for the discouraged rem nant of General Linevitch's command in the far cast. It is given out in today's World Herald that tho biennial election law will be held unconstitutional by the supreme court and that such decision wjll bo made public today. Twhlvb deaths caused by heat is tho record for one day recently in New York. Who would swap tho cool, in vigorating atmosphere of Nebraska for such conditions in a crowded city ? Uastbrn railway companies arc praising tho record-breaking trips of their fast trains duing the past few days, while in fact western roads have been making fully as good time for several years and saying nothing about it. Washington is rapidly overshadow iug The llaguo as the peace center for all the ills and ailments that may arise between our governmental neighbors. Teddy's "big stick" may be concealed in the closet of the White House, but his angelic smile and the dove of peace are conspicuous at the entrance thereof. Tnu proclamation of Mayor Bucch senstein regarding the use of fircwoiks on the Fourth of July will be found in this issue. It is the proper thing and a safeguard against such accidents as are liable to occur by tho use of fire works on such an occasion, when the streets will be crowded with people.' Such restriction has been nassed in Omaha, Kearney and many other place in the state. It is a good law and should be enforced to the letter. "Tim railroads are doing all they can to persuade immigrants to go South instead of West," says S. II. Hardwick, general manager of the Southern Rail way. "But the people of tho different sUtes must do their share. They must1 show a spirit of welcome and of hospi tality to the people that we send them. It will not do to merely sell them a farm or to find for them employment on a farm or in the mills. They must be takon into the community. The railroads, when they laud emmigrants on Southoru farms or in Southern towns, have done all they can. It is for the people of the South to do tliu rest. If they show an inheritable spiiit by segregating these new arrivals from all iutorect and par ticipation in the life of the community. the new arrivals will soon tire, and, if they do not dttrwrt themselves, will write letters homo which will surely ptevent any mate of their people from following them. So it is tho utmost necessity that the people take care of the immigrants after we bring them into their midst" ( LOCAL PARAGRAPHS. ( LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

Many were made happy while othors had their troubles and disappointments. Sectiou filings wore allowed which was unfair, and tho land on the Extension should have been entered in quarter sections only. Much dissatisfaction prevails, and charges of prejury are afloat is the air and contests and pro tests will be one of the features for some time. Rushville Standard. A Great Game. Tho first game of base ball to take place since tho organization of the local team, occurred at the ball ground, west of town, last Sunday when the Lakeside ball players went up against dofcat by a score of 8 to 2t. Only eight innings were played, when some misunderstanding arose and the visitors refused to further continue the game. It was apparent from the start that the home team was much tho stronger, but some how the cause of Lakeside's dis aster was blamed to Umpire O'Connor who was charged with partiality. For a while things were getting rather warm and it looked as if there might be a riot, but this was averted by the cool judgment of tho less rattled. It was indeed amusing to notice how easily a crowd could become excited and demonstrative upon the least provoca tion. The bleachers and the grand stand took a hand in the excitement and everyone was having their share of fun in the moloe. Whether O'Connor was showing partiality to the home team wo can not say, for decisions on the diamond are, as a rule, hard to determine, but it is sufficient to state that Manager Brown of the local aggre gation refused to have tho umpire de throned, being satisfied w.ith his decis ions. While the game was not plaved out, the large crowd in attendance had their money's worth of fun and as a traveling man said, who was witness of the affair, it was more fun than a fbaskef full of monkeys. Next Sunday the Sidney team will be bete to play a game and from the repu tation that precedes them, it may be predicted that the local players will have to get down to business if they want to win out.
