John Pedersou, who is doing much
to beautify Alliance with the best kind
of cement walk, has been having trou
ble lately by the meanness of some
folks who insist on damaging the walks
he lays by stepping on them before
they are dry and set. This occurred
on the walks just laid near the United
Presbyterian church last week. It im
pairs the work and to say the least
shows a bad disposition on the part of
some one.
Dr. Turner, president of Hastings
college, will occupy the pulpit of the
First Presbyterian church next Sunday
morning and evening. The topic for
the morning will bo "Toiling That

The following is reproduced from the
columns of the Lincoln Star of Sunday,
April i2tn: from Alliance wnere a
number of prosecutions arc pending
against liquor dealers for violating the
pure food law comes an appeal to the
deputy food commissioner for a dis
missal of the pending cases on the
ground that the recent election puts the
saloons of that city out of business. It
is urged that the result of the election
is punishment enough for these liquor
dealers. The deputy commissioner in
sists that the prosecutions instituted
before the election should go on for the
law commands proscution of all viola
tions without reference to the result ot
the elect, whether wet or dry.
Last Thursday C. A. Newberry
reached bis thirty-ninth milestone in
life, and the day came near being
passed without Mr. Newberry's realiza
tion of the event, for as everyone in
Alliance knows Cheney is a verv busy
man and there are times when such
things will slip bis mind, but a number
of his friends learned of the day of his
birth and that evening well loaded with
a delicious luncheon went to the New
berry home and surprised the head of
the family with their presence and mis
sion. The evening was of course
pleasantly spent as all social events are
at this hospitable home. After indulg
ing in the good things to eat, enjoying
a pastime of music and conversation
the guests departed wishing Mr. New
berry many more years of health and
prosperity.

In this issue of The Herald will be
seen tho advertisements of Win. Kitig
and F. J. Betzold announcing a ma
terial reduction in the prices of wines
and liquors. Since it is the decision of
the people at the recent election to
abolish saloons from the city these
deaiers want to dispose of their large
stock and make some mighty tempting
prices on the best grades of wines and
liquors. Of course these low prices
will move the goods in a short time
and that is the idea for there remains
but a short time before the saloons
will be closed. Those desiring liquors
for private or household use have an
opportunity now to lay in a supply
mighty cheap.
Notice.
The starting of numerous fires in the al
leys and neglect of same before extinguish
ed is a very careless practice and may be
the cause of a disastrous fire in the city.
The public is hereby cautioned net to set
out a fire while the wind is blowing, nor to
leave one burning at any time without
watching same. Anyone violating this
order will be arrested and prosecuted.

CHELSEA FIRE SAVEPT
BLAZE IN BOSTON SUBURB CAUS
ES LOSS OF $0,000,000.
Half of the Business Blocks and Over
Five Hundred Dwellings Destroyed.
Five Deaths Result from Long Bat
tle With Flames 10,000 Homeless.
Boston, April 13. An apparently
Insignificant tiro, which started among
rags on n dump In tho city of Chulsua,
was fnnnoil by n northwest gnlo luto
a conflagration which obliterated
about one-third of tho city. Over D00
dwelling houses wcro destroyed, and
many hundreds of families wero driv
en from their habitations mid 10,000
people are homeloss. Flvo lives nro
known to luivo been lost and It Is re
ported that two other persons per
ished, 0110 a woman, having shot her
self In a frenzy over hor Inability to
savo hor property. From fifty to ona
hundred wero Injured. Accurate esti
mates of the loss is Impossible. Tho
city solicitor estimates It at nearly
$6,000,000. Tho lire raged bororo a
forty-flvomllo gnlo for moro than
twolvo hours, defying tho utmost ef
forts of the combined flro departments
of Cholsoa and soveral nearby cities
and a large detachment of Boston fire
men and apparatus.
Burned Area Over a Mile Square.
Tho flro area, which was In tho form
of nn ellipse a mllo and a half long
and hnlf a mllo wldo at lta widest
part, extended diagonally acrosB tho
city from n point near tho boundary
between Everett and Chelsea to tho
waters of Chelsea creek. It was use
less for tho firemen to attempt to
check the on-rushlug names boforo tho
galo and tholr main efforts wore to
proveut a spread of tho flro ou elthor
side. Their last stand was takon at
Chelsea squaro, and for hours a doubt
ful battlo was waged. At 9 p. in. word
was passed that tho firemen woro win
ning and with rouowed energy tho
contest was pressed. At 10:60 p. m.
olllclal announcement was mado by
Chief H. A. Spencer that tho flro was
under control. A great many of tho
buildings wero of wood and wore
quickly destroyed, hut structures of
other material wcro almost as quick
ly and thoroughly Incinerated,
All tho banks, moro than throo
quarters of tho churches, half of the
business blocks, nnd nearly all tho
school houses woro wiped out. Ono
hospital and a day nursery woro de
stroyed. In tho turmoil many of tho
sick and lnflrm found difficulty In ob
taining nsslstanco, and several of
them narrowly escaped. Tho wind
carried burning embers across Choi
sea creek and buildings In East Bos
ton cnught, but extensive damago
thero was prevented by prompt and
energetic work of tho firemen.
Five Bodies Found.
Medical Examiner MacGrath said
that flvo bodies had been found'. A
body at tho corner of Essex and High
land streets tho medical examiner be
lieved to bd that of a young woman.
The territory burnod over exceeded
a mile squnre. Tho Arc, which started
near tho corner of Cypress and West
Third streets, crossed Broadway nnd
spread out over tho entire section
southeast, but did not roach tho water
front on Chelsea creek until after
crossing Willow street, so that Us
southwesterly hounds woro Second
street, Essex, Middlesex, ns far as
Willow, and then to tho water front,
along which It burned until It met the
tracks of tho BoBton and' Albany di
vision of tho New York Central short
ly after they branch off from those
of the Boston and Maine railroad.
Tho westerly end of tho ellipse,
where tho flro started, was tho most
densely populated section of tho city.
Tho three-story tenements were teem
ing with life nnd a great majority held
from six to eight families. Moat of
these- families contained almost Invari
ably somo ono aged or Infirm.
Two Oil Barges Burned.
To the east of Broadway the houses
woro together and averaged about two
and one-half stories in height. Two
largo oil uarges tied up at the wharf
of tho Tidewater Oil company, and
which contained 5,000 gallons of oil
each, wero burned.
A force of National Guardsmen is
patrolling tho streets of the burned'
section. Four squads of marines were
placed to protect valuable safes In
the ruins of different buildings. A de
tail of seventy-flvo policemen from
Boston was stationed at various en
trances to the city with orders to pre
vent anybody from coming In with
the exception of firemen, policemen,
Boldlers and newspaper men. Neigh
boring cities and the commonwealth
hastened to the assistance of the flro
sufferers. Thousands wero sent to
Boston, where they wore furnished
with food and lodging at numerous
public buildings, such as schools,
armories, etc. Various halls, church
es and other public buildings In the
unburned section of Chelsea were also
thrown open to shelter the unfortu
nates. In addition to offers of financial aid
and shelter for tho homeless, came
guarantees from bakeries, dairy farms
and provision dealers of a plentiful
supply of food.
Railroad Men Oppose Rate Reduction.
Missouri Valley, la., April 11. Five
hundred railroad men from all branch
es of the service, at a mass meeting
here, adopted resolutions protesting
against any further reduction in rail
road rates. The resolutions say the
loss must eventually fall on the rail
road employes. Tho resolutions aro
addressed particularly to the Ne
brasKa railway commission, and a
committee was appointed to present
the commissioners a copy.
