So Goes the World.
Alone in the west, without the shelter
of a friendly roof, whose only charity
was the county poor house, there died
last Saturday at the midnight hour, a
young man who carried his right name
with him to tho grave, to be forgotten
forever. A mother will, perhaps, never
know of the, sad ending of hac boy, and
a loving sister will look in yain for a
letter from a brother, who in his pov-'ertyVsoaghfrtG-reslare
bfS'f ailing health
in a strange, land. The deceased gave
his name as George Bell, simply be
cause he had to call himself by some
non deplume, but he admitted that it
was not his right name. He was in the
last stage of consumption when ho
came to Alliance, and being without
means, and his physical strength grad
ually leaving liitn, he waa compelled to
take refuge in the public alms house.
Bell was not a man of coarse nature,
but gave every indication of having been
reared in a refined atmosphere. Quiet
and pleasant in demeanor, he made
friendB readily, yet he kept his troubles
to himself. At any ratehe died a3
above stated, and after the lifeless
bundle of bones were taken to the un
dertaker to be shipped to some medical
institution, it wag fouud necessary to
embalm them before; the company
would accept tho same. Here's the
only place where poor Bell won qut.
There being no cash oq hand for sucli
purposes, the body was taken to the
city cemetery, and the last chapter of a
lonely life was completed in six feet of
mother eatth. God pity tho poor, for
the world will not.
Bromos Grass and Its " Father."
Leonard Sampy drove down from his
farm, five miles south of Hemingford,
Tuesday, accompanied by Dennis Bergen.
They made Tun Herald a visit, and Mr,
Sampy inserted an ad, ot bromos grass
seed for sale, which appears in another
column. This year Mr. Sampy raised
about 9,000 pounds of the seed and a
quantity of fine hay, He now has about
seventy-five acres seeded down, and will
continue seeding 3 large acreage every
year, There 13 no question but what it is
a splendid forage, and in a few years there
will be thousands of acres sown to bromos
in western Nebraska, There are a number
in (he county who contemplate putting in
a large acreage next spring. Mr. Harris,
living a mile northeast of Alliance, who
raised a crop of bromos this year, upon
being asked what he thought of the grass,
replied. "I think enough of it to sow for
ty acres next spring." A very important
matter to be considered by those who ex
pect to sow bromos is the kind of seed
they secure, as much of that shipped in is
not adapted to this country, also seed that
is too old will not grow. Mr. Sampy
might truly be called the "father of bromos
grass in Box Butte county," he being the
first to demonstrate the virtues of the
plant in this section, and his experience
will be valuable to anyone interested
along that line,
New Meat Market

Griffin have opened a meat market two

Telephone orders will likewise be at
tended to. Give the new firm a trial
order and you will become a permanent,
customer. Phono 405. 46-tf,

Year Predicted.
. Tho end is not yet in tho wny of
building boon for Alliance, and( with
tho new blocks now under considera
tion there will bo lively times in trade
circles just as soon as the weather will
permit next spring.
Among tho new buildings under con
templation, S. C. Reck is preparing
plans for a substantial oiio on the sec
ond lot west of tho new postoffico site
and adjoining Graham's grocery store,
The structure is to bo of brick and two
stories high. It will include all the
modern improvements and conveniences
for business purposes and will bo an
ornament to tho city's improvements.
Mr. Reck has a fine location for such
a building and it will doubfless make a
fine business point, being in closo prox
imity to the postofiicc.
Dr. F. M. Knight will also erect a
substantial two-story business block
just west of the new postoffico site and

Another hotel to supply the wants of
the public is also under contemplation
by Robert Baxter and son. This new
proposition is to bo a two story struct
ure covering thrco lots, located just op
posite the passenger depot and across
from the Hila Grand. The material
will be of cement stone, which has
come into popular use all over the
country, the door and window finish,
ings of tho specifications will lend a
metropolitan appearance to tho build
hig and give that part of tho city a business-like
impression to people who
travel through,

In Social Circles.
The season for winter parties was
graciously inaugurated last Monday
evening by Mrs. FredAyres, who gave
a card party in which about twenty
ladies and gentlemen participated. It
was a most pleasant gathering, and tho
hostness in her graceful manner, made
everyone feel at home. Refreshments
wefe served during tho evening and the
gue.sts express themselves as being
royally entertained.
A Halloween party was given at tho
residence recently vacated by Mr. and
E. S. Jackson. Wiss Kate Bogue, who
has the reputation of knowing how to
entertain, invited a number of friends
that evening to make merry, and they
did bo in the full sense of the term.' A
fine luncheon was served and this mem
orable night, when,' it is said, lovers
look and act their best, will long be re
membered by those who enjoyed Miss
Bogue's hospitality,

day night was fairly well reudered,
Mr. Lorch's emotional acting, which
lias a wide range in this master piece
was very strong and he shows the fin
ished actor in every respect. His sup
port is not what it should be, but it
matters little, for be is the whole works
in tho drama.
