Death of Mrs. Etigcno A. Hall.
Death, the awful mystery that im
presses mankind so forcibly, madeltsrff
felt most keenly in this city last night,
when the sotU ot Mrs. Eugene A. Hall
departed from its tenement tif clay and
when this morning's sun dispelled the
darkness of night from almost every lip
came the deep regret announcing her
demise at the midnight hour. Deceased
had been ailing for several davs with an
attack of appendicitis together with
other complication that refused to yield
to medical treatment and with the ex
haustive, weak condition of the sufferer
the end was apparent. Surround with
everything to make life happy, an af
fectionate husband and loving eon, Mrs.
Hall resignedly laid aside the things of
mortal life for the. robe of immortality.
Deceased's maiden name was Minnie
Baker. She was borti at Lea enworth,
Kans., Feb. 27, 1870, and with her
parents moved to Ellsworth, Kans., at
the age of three years, where she re
sided up to the time of her marriage to
Mr. E. A, Hall May 17, 1893, when
they moved to Hemingford, where they
resided while Mr. Hall was sheriff.
After a year's residence in South
Omaha the family came to Alliance,
where they have since resided. Be
sides her husband and son Albin, ageil
seven years, Mrs. Hall leaves her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Baker, who
reside at Grcely, Colo., and four sisters
and two brothers. Mrs, L, J. Card,
a sister from Denver, and the parents
arrived here today.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the residence this evening at seven
o'clock, and the remains taken over the
Denver route tomorrow morning to
Greeley, Colo., for interment, ac
companied, by the relatives.
Attempted Burglary.
George Carling had a few mintues'
experience with a real live burglar last
Sunday night. ' About 12:30, George
had occasion to enter his furniture
store and as he turned the electric
light switdi on he caught sight of a
human figure making jts way hurriedly
to the the basement in the rear of the
building. Air. Darling gave the alarm
to several men on the streets and every
effort was made to apprqhend the in
vader but he escaped through the cellar
door the padloc.k of which he removed
oii entering the store. In his hurry to
get out the burglar left a. white soft hat
behind, which was daubed with grease
from" a candle. Nothing was missed
from the store, and in fact it looked as
if George had blocked the thief's game
before he had proceeded very far. The
police think they could return the white
hat to the owner, hut will wait till some
future time.
Potato Growers Organize.
Quite a large number of potato grow
ers of Box Butte county held a meet
ing at the court house in this city last
Saturday and matters pertaining to
their welfare discussed. The outcome
of the meeting was a permanent organ
ization with the following officers elect
ed: President Chas. Bauer.
Vice President A. Hadley.
Secretary G. A. West..
Treasurer Fred Bauer.
The next meeting will take place
Saturday, August 12, when it is hoped

A Fine Piece of Horse Flesh.
Pete Watsou of Sioux county drove
to Alliance last Friday, .briuging with
him a fine young Kentucky-Demark
stallion, Myhich was the attraction of
all admirers of horse flesh. The an
imal is a bay in color and about five
years old. He is as near a perfect form
in horse flesh as one can find and weighs
1 160 pounds, Watson surely has an
animal that would prove a winner at
a horse show exhibition, Claud Lester
will take care of the saddle stallion and
keep him in training at the race track,
A Third Clerk in the Postoffice.
Another indication of the increased
volume of business at the Alliance post
office is the addition of the third clerk
to Postmaster Tash's staff. Miss Ar-
villa Snow has received the appoint
ment and entered upon her duties.

RACING AND
STOCK EXHIBIT
Proposition on Hand to Have lltrco
Days' Meeting in Which Races
and Agricultural and Stock
Exhibits will Combine
A movement is on foot among the
business men of Alliance to hold a fair
or harvest festival this fall and lo add
to it a list of races worthy the track.
With' this end in view, a public meeting
will be held in the council chambers of
the, city hall this evening at which
everyone is urged to attend and givo
expression.
With the magnificent crops and as
surance of a taunteous harvest in this
part of the gUtc, it is most timoly and
appropriate to arrange for such doings
that will interest and draw paoplo from
miles around. Added to this festival,
which would prove interesting, a race
meet is proposed. With the number of
good horses that would be entered, this
feature would prove a grund success.
There is a surplus of $250.79 left
over from tho Fourth of July celebra
tion and it la suggested to apply this
sum in creating an expense fund to get
tho proposition under way. This is the
most plausable scheme to give a public
demonstration. It will he in the hands
of home people and regulated so as to
reflect credit on the city, as the Fourth
of July celebration did. It is far ahead
of turning the town over to a pack of
skin flint street fair arabs, whose only
ambition is debauchery and graft.
Let" every one attend the meeting to-,
night and unite in making the affair a
grand success.
