illustrious Nebraskan than Mr. Albro.
The brick work on St. Agnes acad
emy is completed and the plumbers

It is thought that the sisters will be

of July or first of next month to look to
their part of the affair. Surely, St.

view. Contractor. Reck will soon have
the brick work on the new public high

gressive appearance of our city.

As a result of the unpleasantness, the

Harry Skccls, a popular traveling
salesman for the Hcinzo Pickle compa
ny, is interviewing Alliance merchants
today. This concern carries fifty-seven
varieties of its excellent products and it is
said that Mr. Skcels contemplates adding
another, which for fine flavor and gener
al superiority will surpass them all..
And it is pleasing to note that Box
Butte will furnish the product for the
fifty-eighth variety, Mr. Skeels having
selected it as the best in the large terri
tory he covers.
J. C. Parkin of Edgcmont, S. D.,

prosperity.
Ran Out of Gasoline.

bert auto the latter part of the week,
and is now prepared to reach a hurry
call on short notice, provided he does
not run out of gasoline, etc. The doc
tor is proving an expert chauffeur, not

Ing from an illness which prevented
him from earning his living. Sir Fred
erick Troves operated upon him and
completely cured him of his trouble.
Somo weeks afterward tho man called
upon Sir Frederick at his private house,
and, much to bis surprise, presented
him with a coin. At first Sir Frederick
refused to take It, but tho man would
not be put off.
"It Is now three years since I left my
natiyo Innd," he said, "and before I
camo nway my wife gavo mo this coin
nnd told me never to part with it un
less I was starving. It la not worth
anything, but tho value to me I cnuuot
express. When I was in tbe hospital I
made up my mind that you should
have it. Since you cured mo I have
been starving, but I would not part
with the coin because J wanted you to
havo it as a small return for saving my
life,"
VW.hat magnificent piece of Jewelry,"

story, "coild equal the value of that
coin?" London M. A. P.
Narrow Escape from
Shocking Death
John Shirk, night employe at the
Burlington shops, was quite painfully
injured last .Sunday morning whilo at
tempting to board the engine ou train
No. 42, which arrives here at 4 a. in.
Mn Shirk was doing work on the Den
ver passenger train locomotivo at the
time 42 came in, and as tho etigiuo of
that train passed, he attempted to get
ou the steps between locomotive aud
tender but missed his hold on the rod
and fell with his head so close to tho
rail that tho boxings of the tender
struck him ns thoy passed, almost
tearing tho scalp from his head. Ho
was in a most dangerous position nnd
but for the timely assistance sf Brake
inau E; E. Terry who dragged him
from beneath the train, would doubt
less have been crushed to death.
Tho injured man was taken to Dr.
Copscy's office where his wounds were
dressed and ho was carried to his homo

remained unconscious the greater part
of Sunday and Monday. However, no
serious complications have appeared,

Two Games Taken
From the Maywoods
And still the Alliance ball team has
met no foe equal its metal.
Last Sunday the loudly heralded
Maywood, Furnas county, ball team
appeared on the diamond here to double
up our aggregation and throw them
over the fence. At least that was the
expectation and a great crowd was on
hand to witness the "stunt," For the
first two innings of the game things
looked mighty blucish for the Alliancq
team. Hull's work in tbe box was un
certain and the visitors pounded him
for three scores. But things took a
sudden change in the fourth inning and
from then on the homo team pounded
the leather and the assistance of a num
ber of errors succeeded in rolling up
twelve scores, closing the game 12 to 7.
The battery was Hull and Freer for
(Alliance, Vann and Ruppert for May-
wood. ',, Umpire, Leidy.
2 iThaFqond game was played Mou
day with Maywood and a better sample
Lof bal playing was produced. The scora
was a tie in tbe ninth inning, Alliance
winning by a score of 5 to 4 in tho
tenth. Batterics:: " Copsey and 'Freer

assured of seeing the latest New York
city plays at popular prices. The Lor
raine Keene company, a high-class rep
ertoire organization, will play a three
nights engagement at the Phelan opera
house, commencing Thursday, July 2d,
and will produce three of the very best
plays now before the public, "A Merry
Widow," "Are You Crazy?" and "The
Lion and the Mouse." Just think of
seeing such productions at 25, 35 and
50c prices. Miss Lorraine Keene is
supported by a clever aud capable com
pany of real artists. Remember, this
is not a cheap repertoire company play
ing a lot ol old plays under new titles,
but it is a high-class stock company
'playing only the latest successful pro
ductions.

ingford returned this week

in need of such machinery

lic schools, arrived home Saturday, and
Mr. Hayes now looks as though life

8 Rev. Jeffers conducted devotional
exercises at the chapel Tuesday morn
ing and also addressed tho teachers,
on "School Ethics." His remarks were
practical and told in such a way as to
make them interesting. The students
hope ho may be able to talk to them
again during the session of the normal.
2 County Supt. Phtlipps attended the
annual school meeting in district No. 14
Monday, This is his home district and
he is anxious to have school matters in.
this district in a satisfactory condition.
Monday at' their annual meeting they
voted to build a new school house, put
inrnow desks and other necessary ma'
teriai,
ruA'C&pty-W. R. Akers gave the second
niyriler qf .the lecture course at thejPhe
Ian opera house Wednesday night. It
was an illustrated lecture on "The Holy
Land." Views of Jerusalem and inter
esting places in and about, Jerusalem
were shown and explained by the 'cap
tain. Capt. Akers has an illustrated
lecture on Mexico, which be intends to
give in Alliance at some date in the
near future.
3 The ladies of the town came out
Wednesday evening with a grim deter
mination to haul down the normal col
ors in a game of basket ball, but once
more the normalitcs carried away the
victory. The game was hotly contested
from start to finish. At the cud of the
first half the score was 1 to 1, but dur
ing the second half the normal girls
gained on their visitors, and the score
at the close of the game was 7 to .3 in
tavor of the normal team.
. 3 Dr, L. P. Ludden, secretary o'Clne
normal school board, was in town Mon
day and .Inspected the school, hut was
unable ta remain to lecture Monday as
was announced last week. Circum
cumstances over which he bad no con
trol made it necessary for him to leave
here Monday afternoon on 43. How
ever, Pr. Ludden gave an address to
the students at chapel on the subject of,
"Opportunity," and for an hour he held
their closest attention by his eloquence
and wit. It is unfortunate that the
people of Alliance were not privileged
to hear him.
3 Supt. Ritchie gave a chapel talk on
the prices teacher must pay to acquire
success in her profession. As a pre
lude to his remarks he read a parody,
presumably of his own composition, on
Poe's The Raven," which gave the
students an insight into the poetical
tendencies of his nature, a characteris
tic not heretofore suspected, hut which
adds greatly to his value as an instruc
tor in English. It is not known whether
this poetry is a result of delayed spring
fever or an indication that the little god
of love has let fly a shaft in his direc
tion. Further developments will be
awaited with great anxiety by the stu
dent body.
