LIVELY TIME AT
MASS MEETING
Citizens' Meeting Held Monday Night
Largely Attended and Financial
Condition Discussed.
What to do about raising funds "wa"
the all-important question that called
a large' crowd of Alliance citizens to
the city hall last Monday evening. In
fact the assembly room on the second
floor was not adequate for the attend
ance. and even the hallway was jammed
to its extreme capacity. Mayor Smith
and the city council had announced
through the columns of The Herald
last week the purpose of this mce'ting,
namely, the desire of the citizens of
Alliance in regard to the council's pro
cedure for the coming year and the
best way to raise funds since the saloon
license had been cut off.
Mayor Smith rapped for attention
promptly at eight o'clock and explained
tersely the call and then started the
ball rolling by calling on Ira Tash for
an expression as to what, in his judg
ment, was best to do. Mr. Tash re
sponded by stating that the present
condition of affairs in the municipal
treasury was such that the city's pro
gress would not be hampered in the
least and called for a careful, judicious
government of the same. The taxable
valuation of town property has increas
ed fully 15 per cent and this with the
amount on hand would see the way
clear for future necessity. Mr. Tash
stated that he would cite the increased
valuation of residence property by his
own holdings, which was from 1500 to
$2500 in the past year, and he was
fully satisfied with the same. The
First National Bank propertywas also
cited at an increase in valuation from
$io,oob to $16,000.
Louis Bucchsenstein, who has served
the city as mayor for two terms and
councilman one term, took exception to
Mr. Tash's views of increased valuation
and boldly asserted that while he was
not an auctioneer, be then and there
would offer his real estate in the city
to any one present at 75 cents on the
dollar, and asked if there were any
takers. These remarks caused a great
deal of cheering and hand-clapping.
Mayor Smith next invited expression
from R. M. Hampton, who spoke at
length of the city's'growth from infancy
'and the many years of trials and
struggles it underwent only to find itself
one of the foremost cities of the state.
He eulogized Mr. Buechsenstein on
his administration of city affairs while
he was mayor and then entered into
the financial condition of the discussion.
He stated that before a definite con
clusion oi taxation could be arrived at
it would be necessary to investigate the
city's expenses atid funds on hand, also
those of the school district, and thought
that this meeting was rather premature
for the same. All of which was appar
ent before the meeting had progressed
much further. The fact that there
was held by the county treasurer 3,
421.22 belonging to the city was an
nounced and this was news to many
present. In the same treasury there is
a water fund amounting to $2, 832.41
and city hall fund of $9 15.92, both of
which are not available for current ex
penses of the city. On request, Clerk
Barnes announced that the city's fund
on hand is 285.34, making a. total of
3,706.56. The outstanding indebted
ness in unpaid registered warrants,
amounts to 3,3191 leaving a net bal
ance in the treasury of 486.77. With
about 3,ooq uncollected back taxes
due the city of Alliance, which it it
is said will be available, Mr. Hampton
thought there was little cause foe alarm
on account of financial stringency.
However, there was much information
lacking to get to the basis of running
expenses of the city.
S. K. Warrick was next called upon
to give his views ou matters pertaining
to the future condition of governmental
affairs'. Mr. Warrick was subjected to
'much cross-firing, but he was calm and
self-possessed throughout his talk.
Like the financier that he is, he waded
into financial detail that soon showed
that a committee would have to be ap
pointed to investigate the city's con
dition during the past three years in
order to arrive at a basis on which to
proceed. Mr. Warrick was of the
opinion that city warrants would always
be worth their face value, and he
thought as far as the school district
was concerned that too would come out
all right.
On motion of Judge Bullock, a com
mittee of three, to be appointed by the
chair, was carried, to make the neces
sary investigation and report the same
to the city' papers for publication. On
this commitee Mayor Smith appointed
Messrs. F. W. Harris, F. J. Brennau
and Frank A. Pierson. This committee
will go over the city and school fund
for that period of time, also investigate
the expenses incurred during tho three
years. When tins bouy is prepared to
report a clearer Understanding as to
what is needed wjll be had.
In the meantime it may bo said that
as far getting results, the meeting was
not a complete success. However, tho
discussion was wholesome and in the
right direction and; it is just such gath
erings of citizens that make good gov
eminent, Mayor Smith was level
headed when he made, the call. It
speaks of a democratic spirit in which
the voice bf the people is heard. Raise
the lid of governmental affairs every
once in awhile and invite each tax
payer to take a look into the affairs of
state. Keep nothing under cover, and
this seems to be Mayor Smith's motto.
As he said at the meeting Monday
night, "The people want a dry town,
and they will get what they voted for
during my administration."
Since completing the report of the
Monday night meetiug, we are pleased
to be able to give the readers of The
Herald the complete resume of the
committee appointed to make a report
of the receipts and disbursements of
the city of Alliance covering a period
of three years, which is as follows:

There is an excellent attraction at the
Phelan opera house this week, Prof.
Garnett, the eminent and well known
hypnotist, opened a week's engagement
in the opera house Tuesday night. Tho
house was crowded and the audience
convinced that the entertainment given
is well worth the price of admission.
It is a strictly moral, clean and educa
tional one, to which everyone, including
ladies and children, can attend with the
assurance that nothing is presented that
will in any way offend the most sensi
tive person. The interest being taken
by the large crowds attending each per
formance is proof of the genuineness of
the professions of Prof. Garnett. The
engagement closes Saturday night. Ad
mission 10. and 35 cents to all parts of
the house.

LINCOLN'S JOKE.
Fixing the Responsibility For the Lom
of Harpers Ferry.
Prahtont Lincoln's Johew, especially
when perpetrated In connection wttti
grave matter, usually had a purpose
In thorn. After Loo had taken liar
pcra Ferry the president, reallElnf how
great a calamity It was to tha north
ern arms, determined, If possible, to fix
the responsibility for tho loss of tha
Important position.
Hnlleck wan numnioned, but did not
know where tho blamo lay. "Very
well," said Lincoln, "I'll nsk General
Schcnck." Tho latter could throw no
light upou tho question, further than
to say thnt ho was not to blamo. Mil
roy wnB tho nest to bo cnllod to tho
presence of tho commander In chief
nml to enter a plea of "not guilty."
Hooker was next given n hearing, nnd
"Fighting Joe" nmdo a very emphatic
disclaimer of nil responsibility.
Thou the president assembled tho
four gcncrnlB In his room and said to
thorn: "Gentlemen, Harpers Ferry was
BUrrcndcretl nnd nouo of you, It rccius,
Is responsible. I am very anxious to
discover tho mnn who Is." After strid
ing across tho room scvoral times tho
president suddenly throw up his bow
ed head nnd exclaimed: "I hnvo ltl 1
know who la responsible!"
"Who, Mr. President; who is It?"
asked the distinguished quartet an they
look wl anxious, if not troubled.
"Gentlemen," said U10 president,
with u meaning twinkle lu his eye,
"General Leo Is tho man."
There was n lack of mirth In the
laugh created, and tho four generals
took their departure with a determina
tion thnt they would not again bo
placed under suspicion.
SLEEP MYSTERIES.
Tasks Often Performed While the
Worker Slumbers.
A psychologist was discussing tho
miracles of Bleep.
"One can Income so accustomed," ho
said, "to a monotonous task that one
can fall asleep and still kcop on work
ing. Thus In India there aro puuka
coolies, men who turn a fan all night
long In the hot weather whllo their
English masters rest, and It Is not un
common for a punka cooly to acquire
tho knack of Bleeping nt hla task. On
and on he sleeps through tho hot, per
fumed hours of tho Indian night, but
his hand mechanically and Rteadlly
turns tho punka pulley.
"Men havo composed great literary
works In their sleep. Colerldgo's Ku
bla Khan' is the most famous oxamplo
of this; hut, then, Coloridgo was a
morphlnomaniac, and his sleep was
scarcely natural. But K. L. Btevonson,
CorollI and Longfellow havo also dono
good work while sleeping.
"Divers Home t lines fall nslocp deep
down In the sea, but sotuo unknown
part of their brain koepa watch, and,
at the proper moment, though asleep,
they give the order to bo haulod up.
This is a good deal like tho mlraclo
that hnppcns to all of us the mlraolo
whereby if we tell ourselves on retir
ing that wo must waka at 7 wo in
variably do wake at that hour how
or why it 1b Impossible to say. Some
part of us watches, works, koops
awake all night, bo that at 7 It may
call us." Now Orleans Times-Domo-crut.
Penny For a Priceless Book.
A worklngmnn once purchased for n
penny nn aged looking volume bearing
date of 1M0. The man triod to road
It, but threw up tho attempt apparent
ly In disgust, ami the volume was rele
gated to Uie cupboard. A friend of his
happened to roc the book and took It
to the British museum authorities,
who promptly made an offer of 90,
the highest sum tho librarian Is allow
ed to expend without a special voto of
tho trustees. Had the man known
what he was about ho would havo
stood out for more, rb the authorities
would have paid almost any prlco rath

A POSTrOlRKROTEST
A Few Grouches from a Railway Postal Clerk
When you wish to mall a loiter on tho
train, don't hammer tho car door with your
knuckles, as you might knock tho paint off.
Put your letter in tho slot provided for that
purpose in evory mall car.
Don't write K. O. K. for Kansas City,
Kansas, S. F. Cal. for San Francisco, Cal
ifornia, or Oma for Omaha, Nebraska. If
your time is too valuable to permit you to
address a letter properly, you can afford a
stenographer.
Some persons address letters in a fist
that Satan himself could not decipher,
Postal clerks aro only human and not mind
readers at that, so if you cannot command
a legible brand of chirography, print it,
and if you can't print, get a friend to ad
dress your letter for you.
Evidence of n playful disposition, such as
placing the stamp on the back of a letter or
on the lowor left-hand corner, or a one-cent
stamp at each end of a letter, may havo a
tender significance in the stamp flirtation,
hut In the postal clerk's dictionary the an
swer is that the writer is a candidate for
tho Foolish-house.
