"Our town slow ? Well, I guess not; What are you a-Urivin' at ? Don't you know A man got shot For sayin' such a thing as that ?" A lively spirit of push and energy was apparent at the business men's meeting held at the opera house last Monday evening, when Mr. Irving, a representative of the Municipal Service league of Chicago was present to out lino a campaign of "boost" for Alliance. It will bo remembered that this gentle man spoke here several days ago on this subject and outlined their method of assisting municipalities in pushing forward their resources and advantages. Mr. Irving proved conclusively that their method of procedure and adver tising were doing a great deal of good for cities and towns throughout the west in which their services had been employed. Their plan is to send out an expert lecturer and advisor well versed in municipal progress and thrift. Then follows a qualified civil engineer who makes a survey and inspection of the pity's topographical conditions. The league then co-operates with the Commercial club for the advancement of the city's possibilities and agrees to lend its assistance for the period of one year. Eor all of this the league de mands a fee of $500, to be paid when the work is fully under way. The meeting was called to order by F. M. liroome who briefly outlined the purpose of the same, after which Mr. Irving proceeded to explain the work that could be accomplished by the .Municipal League and the Commer cial club. The question of raising funds was explained by the speaker. He had in Lris possession a number of lapel but ions "booming" cities m which the ,lcague had worked. Mr. Irving sug gisted that like these the Alliance Com'' mercial club could design a button to ie FAMOUS CLOTHING HOUSE The Big Uaylight Store 150 SUITS New goods, all the new styles and colorings, Browns, Tans, Grays and Bines in plain shades, stripes and checks, made to sell at $15, $18 and $20.

It was but a few mo'iients after when Secretary 1?. W. Hair is announced a total sum of $570. This substantial report was greeted with a storm of applause. Mt. Irving announced that it would be well for the soliciting committee to see other business men and citizens not present nnd continue the work of soliciting funds that tho now Commer cial club may have a surplus in its treasury with which to purauc its work. This committee consists of Messrs. Geo. Darling, Glen Miller, E. H. Boyd, Fred Young, G. L. Griggs, R. J. Law rence and Tlios. Deal, who arc at work and so far havo increased tho I unci to $goo. Appropriate quarters "will bo secured for the Commercial club and the business of the organization con ducted in the best manner. Mr. Irving suggested some appropri ate wording for tho Alliance "boom" button when a voico from the audience cried out, "put a 'spud' on it," which suggestion was at once taken up as a good thing. It was agreed by Mr. Irv ing to supply the Commercial club with a thousand button at no extra cost. An organization of the ladies and school children of Alliance to assist in tho work of advancing tho city's inter ests was also suggested and approved with great applause. Social and musi cal gathering, banquets and tho like were considered advisable features. On motion, J. W. Guthrie was elected a committee to look after the musicalJ part of the program and Prof. D. W. Hayes to conduct the children. Messrs. D. V. Hayes and C. O. Aspenwall were called upon to give what information they could regarding a state normal school and freight rates. Mr. Hayes assured tho audience that tho prospects were decidedly encourag ing for Alliance. Mr. Aspenwall was asked as to tho report that the Inter national Harvester company intended moving its district offices from this city to Crawford and the reason therefore. Tho reply was better railway facilities and rates. Here is where is where Mr, Irving suggested tho Commercial club get busy at once and we understand this matter is being taken up the har vester company who has the matter under advisement. Other industries and public enterprises which woul'd JqnpG Alliance were discussed., ., Mr. Irving stated it would bo tho first of. August before the Municipal league could send their lecturer here - of course but ho promised to hurry matters as possible.
