Dip Your Sheep
The First of June
Dipping sheep is an operation that is
performed once a year only as a rule and
it is important that this once should prove
effective.
The right sort of dip is one that should
destroy all insets or parasites and should
have a heaiinc and tonic effect on the skin
without any possibility of injury.
ZENOLEUM
meets all these requirements.
We believe it i3 the best one made.

Why you wear a smaller
size in a Hanan
The foundation upon which a shoo
is made is the last most shoo man
ufacturcrs use lasts having a regular
standard measurement, that's why
so many shoes you wear do not fit,
but are tight in one place and too
loose in another.
The Hanan last is made on a more
enlightened plan not to so-called
standard measurements, but to Han
an measurements that are based up
on half a century's careful study of
the true proportions of the human
foot.
In Hanan shoes extra room is pro
vided the big toe joiut the place
where most shoes bind. ,
The original last the one from
which all the various sizes and
widths are graded, is made by a
Hanan. Around that last is made
the Hanan shoe, from the best
leather, by high-priced, skilled work
men but always the Hanan individ

Crushed to Death
Between the Cars
E. E. Daughtry, a brakeman, was
killed at Ellsworth Tuesday while en
gaged in switching. His head was
crushed and death was instantaneous.
It is said that the engineer carelessly
shut off the air from the brakes, letting
the cars plunge back suddenly upon the
brakeman while he was coupling cars.
The remains were brought to Alliance
on 43 and prepared for burial by Un
dertaker Darling.
The unfortunate young man came to
this city from Chadron about a year
ago and made his home at West Lawn
with his wife and two children.
Mrs. Daughtry, who was visiting her
parents at Chadron at the time of the
accident, arrived hero yesterday, with
her parents, and removed the body of
her husband to Chadron. .
Arrested tor Forgery.
Ed Walsh, alias Andy Cross, was ap
prehended at Bridgeport yesterday after
noon by Sheriff Wtker and Ed Eldred and
brought back here for forging the name of'
Charles Tully to a $25.00 check on the Al
liance National bank, which Eldred
cashed for him Tuesday. Walsh stated
that he had worked for Mr. Tully who
gave him the check in payment. When
the check reached the bank, Cashier Har
ris recognized at once that it was not genu
ine. Mr, Tully was phoned to and sub
stantiated the bank's suspicion. Word
was received from Mike Haggerty at
Bridgeport that Walsh "was there but on
arriving on the scene, Sheriff Wiker and
Mr. Eldred found he was not the man.
Just as the belated Denver train was pul
ling out, Walsh was discovered on the
platform of a coach and dragged after
a lively scuffle. He still had $15 of the
money in his possession. The prisoner is
now in the county jail awaiting prelimin
ary hearing.
Alliance Wins from Sidney
Did you ever stop to consider how a
baseball "fan" is developed? Well, if
you had witnessed the game between
Alliance and Sidney on the local field
last Monday you would have reason to
know why it is that staid business men
will neglect their business, throw their
bats into the air and otherwise disport
themselves like a "two-year old."
With the determination to win the
first game of the season from the home
team, the Sidney players found them
selves outplayed at every stage of the
game. Owing to previous rains and
threatening weather, the crowd was not
as large as it would have been under
more favorable conditions.
The battery of the Sidney team is a
good one. Pettie, who made three hits
for Sidney, is a good player and sure
hitter. All the Sidney players distin
guished themselves by clean playing
and manly qualities.
Dr. Copsey pitched for Alliance and,
of course, covered himself with glory,
Freer gave Copsey good support behind
the bat. Wall, Steele and Muntz were
"stickers" from "way back," each se
curing two hits. Grimstead at first was
the right man in the right place. Wall
at second and Morris at third were up
on their toes and in the game all the
time. All the players are deserving of
praise and Alliance may feel proud of
her ball team.
There is some talk of forming a base
ball league of teams from Bridgeport,
Scottsbluff, Mitchell, Bayard, Guern
sey, Crawford, Alliance and Sidney.
Following is the score by innings:
Alliance o o 2 1 o o o 4 7
Sidney 00020130 o 6
Hits Alliance, 10.
Hits Sidney 6.
Advised of Friend's Death
While Addressing Audience
A pathetic incident occurred during
the course of Mr. Bryan's speech in
this city last Monday evening. Just as
he was engaged in the presenting of an
important in his speech, which held
the close attention of the large audi
ence, a messenger boy slipped up to
the orator and handed him a telegram.
Mr, Bryan stopped, tore open the en
velope, and after glancing over the few
words written on the telegraph sheet,
drew his hand over his eyes as if in
sudden grief. It was several minutes
before he could announco tho iuf orma
tion which he had received of tho death
of Senator Jnmes K. Jones of Arkansas
which occurred a few hours boforo in
Washington, D. C. Mr. Bryan's voico
trembled and it was apparent that ho
was crowding back tears of grief over
death of a bosom friend. The speaker
told in a few words of tho friendship
that existed between Mr. Jones and
himself, and promised to speak at somo
other time on tho life of tho old war
horse of democracy,
BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
Hi Vely-Rumef Nuptials Solemnized! Last
Evening in Presence of Large
Circle of Friends.
One of the mest beautiful weddings to
occur in Alliance was that of Mr, Floyd
Alon Uively to Miss Florenco Elizaboth
Rumer which was solemnized last evening
at eight o'clock at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Rumer, on
Cheyenne avenue. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Graves of tho Episco
pal chhurch, in the presence of a large
number of friends.
The bride and groom were attended by
Mr. and Mrs. W. T, Schlupp, with Arlene
Birdsell and Hannah Cotant as ribbon
bearers and Master William Cotant carry
ing the nuptial ring in a beautiful lily, the
handiwork of nature. The scene of
these young people entwining their love
at the threshold of life's journey was most
impressive. Every decorative feature of
the surroundings was pleasing to the eyes
of those present who after the sacred words
had been pronounced extended congratu
lations and best wishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Hively are so well and
and favorably known that words of praise
from us would only be superfluous. They
have sustained their good names by their
kindness and heighth of character. The
groom has resided in Alliance for a num
ber of years and holds the position of chief
clerk to General Superintendent Allen b
the Burlington. The bride has spent most
of her young lifo in this city and is admired
by a host of friends for her pleasing do
meanor and lady-like character. It is
in a spirit of personal esteem that we are
pleased to offer congratulations to this
young couple.
The wedding gifts were many and
beautiful.
Mr, and Mrs. Hively departed on the
morning train for a wedding tour which
will include a visit to Detroit, Buffalo,
New York and Washington, returning by
way of St, Louis in about two weeks.
There were several out-cf-town guests
at the wedding, among those being Mr.
and Mrs. J. Cass Cornell of Ord, Mrs. J. J.
Adams of Milwaukee, Miss Marguerite
Allen of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. G. M,
Banks of Moomaw, J. S. Tupper of
Hardin, Mont., and R. G. Holden of
Sterling, Colo.
Mrs. Frank E. Moores, widow of the
former mayor of Omaha, spent a few
days in Alliance, returning to her home
in Sioux county Wednesday. The ob
ject of Mrs. Moores' visit here was to
defend a contest which was entered
against her homestead by W. H. Buck
ley, and tho case was heard at the land
office Tuesday. Broome & Hamilton
represented the plaintiff, and E. H,
Boyd looked after the interests of tho
defendant.
S. A. Albro, the genial representa
tive of the John G. Woodward Co., in
this territory, has been named as a spe
cial officer for the national democratic
convention. Mr. Albro received notifi
cation of such appointment this week
from Sargeant-at-Arms Col. John I.
Martin, of St. Louis. Mr. Albro, who
was chief of police of Council Bluffs
under Mayor Jennings' administration,
has had much experience in handling
large crowds and he will fill the place in
a creditable manner.
Hon. W. H, Thompson, the well
known attorney of Grand Island, spent
yesterday in the city, appearing as
counsel in a contest case before the
land office fora Mr. Miller whose home
stead in the vicinity of Angora had
been contested. Mr. Thompson had
not visited Alliance for about four
years and was greatly surprisid at its
remarkable growth and metropolitan
appearance. He located at Grand Is
land when it was not half as large as
Alliance, and he says that the trees we
now have show up) much better than
they did at Grand Island when be
located there.
