HOSPITAL SOON
TO BE OPENED
Arrangements Being Made by Drs.
Churchill & Thornton to
That Effect.
Alliance is soon to have the conven
ience of a hospital, which is conceded
by all to be one of the most needed in
stitutions of the day, and Drs. Chur
chill and Thornton will establish the
same. They have secured the Dr.
Miller residence in the west part of the
city and will arrange the same in the
best shape for the purpose for which it
will be used. An operating room will
be one of the main features, aud there
will be a number of comfortable bed
rooms also. The dining room and
kitchen will also receive the best atten
tion and the institution will be ready
for active work within a short time,
possibly the latter part of this month.
Drs. Churchill and Thornton camu to
this city well prepared for surgical
work, but have been handicapped by
the absci.ee oi a proper place in which
to care for patients, and hence have
taken it upon themselves to arrange a
private hospital for their work until the
sisters' institution shall have been
erected and is ready for patients. The
doctors are more than anxious to have
the sisters take charge of the hospital
of this city well knowing their adapti
bility for the same but the fact that it
will be accomplished, Drs. Churchill &
Thornton have taken it upon them
selves to establish this temporary affair.
Mrs. Churchill has had years of exper
ience as a nurse and with her will be
another nurse who has been with the
army service in the Phillipincs and
another of considerable experience,
thus making three nurses to start with,
and others will be secured just as soon
as they are in demand. So we can say
that the city of Alliance will soon have
the distinction of having a hospital
which will accommodate the sick and
injured of this community.
CHANGE IN HARD

John Hague and B. F. Ashley Buy
Hardware Stock of George
G. Gadsby. .
A change in business circles occurred
Monday, Geo. G. Gadsby selling his
stock of hardware to John Hague and
B. F. Ashley, who have assumed
charge of the store. The new firm
will do business under the name of
The John Hague Co. and carry a com
plete line of hardware, windmills and
pumps and do plumbing and heating
work. Mr. Hague, who is an old resi
dent and a man of integrity, already
has a well established business in the
plumbing and heating line. Mr. Ash
ley was formerly asssciated with Mr.
Hague and is experienced in this line
of work. They are both hustlers and
The Herald bespeaks for them a suc
cessful business. Mr. Gadsby retains
his stock of implements and buggies
and will continue business at the same
place.
557 Page "Brief."
On behalf of the government, in the
Richards and Comstock case, the printed
argument to be presented by S. R. Rush
in the circuit court of appeals, April 5, is
557 pages long. Mr. Rush calls it a brief.
His friends say that until he wrote that
much and then had the courage to give it
that kind of a name, he was a respectable
citizen, who might have stood some chance
of one day being invited to deliver a
Fourth of July oration. But now. see
what he has done; the great ambition of
his life completely blighted, A man who
is 557 pages brief couldn't even be invited
to be au auctioneer.
That printed argument of his doesn't
' look like anything that was ever before
I called brief. It's a whole reference
' library, an exhaustive treatise on the
alleged land fraud transactions of the Ne
braska Land and Feeding Company. There
are more things in it than are dreamed of
in the philosophy of the circuit court of
appeals. Omaha World Herald.

Mr. Smith, who is employed by these

and when Box Butte avenue was
reached the team got away and tore
down the thoroughfare at break-neck
speed, causing Snyder's dray team to
join in the race which scattered boxes
and other stuff in every direction.
When the wooden shack near the new
depot was reached, the horses plunged
into the building with enough force to
make kindling wood of several boards.
This put a stop to their gay lark aud
they were captured, slightly bruised as
a result of the exhibition. The wagon
box was ditched and the running gear
scattered over the street.

Old Erin's native Bhainrock.
The anniversary of tho patron saint
of Ireland wns observed in Alliance iu
memorable stylo and thcro was evidenco ,
on every hand that good old Saint
Patrick was still dear to tho hearts of
mankind. In fact thcro was no nation
ality lines drawn. Tho wearing of tho
green symbolized the occasion and tho
beautiful shamrock that answered as a
convincing argument of tho divinity for
Saint Patrick when ho carried on his
missionary work in the green islo was
on almost every lapel. No' doubt thcro
arc many who never learned tho sym
bol of tho shamrock but such is the
case.
At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning high
mass was offered up at Holy Rosary
church in honor of Saint Patrick and
tho attendance was quite large. Father
Pcipcr of Crawford acted as celebrant
in placo of Father McNamara.
A good sized audience assembled at
the Phelan Opera House on the even
ing of tho 17th, where a lecture and en
tertainment was given under the aus
pices of tho Knights of Columbus. At
eight o'clock William Mitchell aroso
and, after a few very appropriate re
marks, announced tho program as ar
ranged. Tho first number consisted of
a violin solo by Mr. Baker, with Mrs.
John Wikcr as accompanist at tho
piano. This number was well received
and brought forth hearty applause.
The classical scholar, and versatile en
tertainer, Hon. N. K. Griggs, of Lin
coln, met with a warm and enthusiastic
reception as he came forward to furnish
the feature of the entertainment. With
that simplicity of language which marks
tho man of much erudition, ho told of
his visit in Ireland, and of the sights
awaiting the visitor to Erin's isle. His
praise of Emmet's and O'Connell's pat
riotism, of Burke's oratory, Moore's
music, Goldsmith's poetic sense, was
indeed a treat to his auditors. He told
of his particular friendship aud ac
quaintance with Parncll. Following
his address Mr. Griggs ran the gamut
of human emotions by singing songs
aud reciting pieces of his own composi
tion. Particularly appealing to his
audience was the song written by him
and dedicated to the mother of Mike
Elmore, picturing her dreaming ot the
home of her childhood iu the Emerald
isle. Mr, Grigg's had as his ac
companist at the piano Miss Kesslcr of
Lincoln, whose skillful execution
won for- her much merited praise.
Father McNamara premised his reci
tation with a few remarks expressing
the gratitude of all to Mr. Griggs, who,
free gratis, came several hundred
miles to assist in tho entertainment.
In the rendition of the Exile's Death,
Father McNamara touched a popular
chord, and received well deserved ap
plause. Following Father McNamara's
recitation a long and very interesting
program consististing of songs and
recitations by local young people was
rendered in which all the participants
succeeded in pleasing their audience.
As a fitting close to the entertainment
those present joined iu singing Amer
ica, and the pleasant evening came to
a close.
Others who took part in the evening's
program were W. C. Heelan, who de
lighted the audience and especially
aroused the noble Irish blood of theCelts
present with the rendition of Robert
Emmet's last address, when all the
spirit of the patriot was aflame with
love of his native land, and the
eloquence of this speech was well pre
sented by Mr, Heelan.
The vocal renditions that pleased the
large audience were rendered by Messrs.
Jack Watson, Richard Burke; Misses
Helen and Virginia Broome, and
Anna O'Conuor.
