H OLSTEN IMNL iiimltir I 4 1 1 . . 1 ivSr rajjjjjgjjB Wm Nine Bloomers but Only Two Girls The anxiously looked for National Bloomer ball team made its first ap pearance on the local grounds last Tuesday afternoon with the Alliance aggregation. Things are not always as they seem. Although the Bloomers all wore female attire, the fact of the situation was that there wcie only two bona Tide women in the club. They were the first and second basemen. All the other players were of the male per suasion. At least, that's what the Al liance ball players claim and they ought to know. But the game Tuesday show, ed that the Bloomers were ball players. The score was i to o in favor of Al liance. Tom Morris succeeded in mak ing the one lonely tally on a series of wild throws by the - Bloomers. Dr. Copsey was in the box for Alliance. A second game took place Wednes day afternoon when the Bloomers suc ceeded In defeating the locals by a score of 4 to 3. Hull did the twirling and a pretty good job, too. But as far as seeing a woman ball team, it was a "fake." The first base player was a genuine "cyclone," and and the audience cheered her most en thusiastically. She was certainly there with the "big mit" when the ball came her way. The games were attended by large audiences. The Bloomers play at Sidney today, Eighteen will Graduate. Free graduating exercises will be held at the Phelan opera house Friday night.

Wilson-Higgins. There occurred at Holy Rosary , church in this city this afternoon, Rev. j Father McNamara officiating, the mar I riage of Mr. Cecil Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Wilson, living near I Lakeside, and Miss Agnes Higins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Hig gins, also residents a few miles from Lakeside. Both parties are popular and well-to-do young people who will receive the congratulations of many relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will reside on the homestead of the bride, which is well stocked with horses and cattle. Relatives of both parties were present at the marriage ceremony. Hass and Renswold Sentenced Last Monday Harry Hass and Harvey Renswold, the young men who were convicted for burglarizing the Gregg & Wright feed store recently, were sentenced last Monday by Judge Westover. Hass must serve one year in the penitentiary and Kcnswold was ordered taken to the reform school. Sheriff Wiker left Monday with Hass for the pen and Renswold was later taken to the reform school at Kearney. Before sentencing the two prisoners, Judge Wcstover "lec tured" them quite thoroughly and gave them advice that was most wholesome and will prove profitable for thun in their years to come if accepted. Basket BalTfoday, Crawford vs. Alliance. There will be a little diversion in the way of ball playing today but there will be no lax of interest as a result. A game of basket ball haB been ar ranged beiween Alliance and Crawford, to take place this evenfng at the ball park east ol town at 7 o'clock sharp. Basket ball has come to be one of the most popular games and every city has a team. Alliance has one also and they can play ball to a finish. The Crawford team will arrive here this afternoon. Following is the line up of the local players: Mrs. Roy Beckwith, center: Mrs. Jerry Rowan, right forward; Mrs. Ed Bishop.left for ward; Mrs. Chas. Matthews, right guattl; Mrs. C. J.

The Reed residence .and beautiful lawn were handsomely decorated for the occasion and a large number of young people I y91u present to enjoy the welcome tot these popular young 'men. Dancing and other amusements always enjoy able to young life were indulged in. Bridgeport will Play Ball Here Arrangements have been made to have a game of ball next Sunday on the Alliance grounds with Bridgeport. The game will be called at 3:30. New Firm of M. D's. Dr. Chas. Weber, well known in this city where he acted as relief physician for the Burlington railroad several months ago, arrived yesterday morning x from Wymore, where he has acted in a like capacity, and entered into a part- nership with Dr. Bowman of this city. Dr. Weber is a most genial gentleman whose kindly ways and social manners .has made him quite a favorite. He1 possesses a thorough medical and sur-1 gjCal education and has had experience that qualifies him for the practice he will pursue in his new field in this city. , Dr. Bowman's country business has so largely increased that he has found it difficult to attend to calls both day and night and hie efforts to associate an wbiHiuii wiui nun lucKuy nil upon Dr. Weoer.

NeW AlUmni OrganiZatlOn At a meeting of the graduates of the Alliance high school last Friday even ing a reorganization of the alumni was effected with the following officers chosen: Earl Mallery, president. Inez Beck, vice-president. Mrs. F. W. Harris, secretary-treasurer. The organization has about ?Go in its treasury and it is the intention to use this for the perfection of a gymna sium and other features. This is an organization that should at all times be kept up. It is a great aid to those who follow after in school life and establishes a regard for the educational features of our public institutions of learning. Miss Gladys Beckwith returned to Rushville Monday after a pleasant visit of two weeks with Mr, and Mrs. Roy Beckwith. BOOSTING BIG CORN SHOW Burlington Representative in City to Arouse Interest in National Exhibition. J. T. O. Stcwatt, representing the Burlington system in particular and the national corn exhibition in general, was in the citv for the purpose of arousing interest in the big corn show that is to be held in Omaha Dec. 9 to 10. This, it is expected, will be the big gest agricultural exhibition ever held in this country and it is the purpose of the managers to attract attention to it from all parts of the country. Ne braska's importance as a corn state makes it necessary that it should be well represented in the exhibits, and there is the added fact that the show is to be held in this state. Mr. Stewart has culled upon n large number of Box Butte corn raisers and finds it an easy task to get them inter ested in the plans of the management. Box Butte county should be repre sented in this great exhibit in Decern bcrand there is little doubt wc will he able to make a good showing. Alton Parker Spends Few Hours in Alliance Alton B. Parker, of New York, fresh from the seat of the political warfare at Denver, where he was a conspicuous figuie in the proceedings that took place, passed through this city Sunday morn ing on his way to the Yellowstone park, where he will spend some time viewing the beauty and grandeur of that natur al wonderland. That Mr. Parker is well satisfied with the democratic national ticket is explained by the following expression he is credited with J "One thins is sure, I am going to sup port the ticket of Bryau and Kern, and I want ni ' friends to do the same thing. Tint I rio not want tn ririivfl nnv rrirltf under the slightest misapprehension of the facts 1 think in all frankness I should say that I resisted in the platform committee any departure from our time-honored dem ocratic principles of the sovereign suprem acy of the states within their borders, or any commital of our party to the danger ous policy of the republican administra tion of a supreme and all-enveloping cen tral authority in the federal government at Washington. I felt that I owed it to my party and my convictions to make this fight against any attack on state home rule and having made it 1 am content with the results " Sunday Excursion to Bridgeport Last Sunday was what might be termed "Bridgeport Day." About 2:30 a special train of five coaches well loaded with Alliance people left for our neighboring town of Bridgeport with the ball team and brass band to enjoy the day. A game of ball was the important feature of the occasion, and we may s"av there were inducements that cut quite a figure in the visitors' desire to spend the day at the Guernsey 1 junction when- tlu-v niieht pninv tlio coo, s,)!ule8 of Ue .a,lllenser ,,,, t-,. nrm. nf , nm. ,,,;.. , ....i.. six innings, was 4 to o in favor of Bridgeport.

Amputated. While at work on a gasoline hoist at Marsland for the railroad company, 1 David B. Oglebie had his right hand so badly lacerated that it was found necessary to amputate it. He was brought here Monday and Drs. Bell wood and Slagel performed the opera tion. Oglebie, who is an excellent type of physical manhood, was able to return to Marsland the next morning apparently none' the weaker lor the pain he underwent In the accident and amputation. The last of tho Alliance delegation to the democratic convention at Den ver returned Monday morning and most ol them were rcadv for a day's rest. There were several republicans in the crowd and they seemed to be perfectly at home. In fact, during the great demonstration, even Bill Rumcr and Joe Andrews showed strong democratic symptoms. Most of the boys made trips over tho Moffat road, the George town loop and some visited Pike's Peak. We are indebted to Mayor Dahlman of Omaha for a liberal supply of tickets to the convention which the Alliance people had tho opportunity of attend ing every session. During the conven tion week Robert Graham, J. C. Vnughan and the writer enjoyed the hospitality of Mr, and Mrs. W. A. Hnmpton at their beautiful home on Pennsylvania avenue. Several of the Alliance boys made up an automobile party and spent a most pleasant even ing nt this home. The Hamptons say that nothing affords them more pleas ure than a visit from their old-time Nebraska friends. John Brcnnan was accompanied homo by L. P. Coumans, who was n delegate from Michigan and will visit here for a week or two. Mr. Coumans, who is n brother-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Brcnnan, is a prominent attorney of Bay City. Walter Kent was in the city Monday from Long Lnke, Sheridan county, and reported the Fourth of July celebration nt that place a graud success. Fully six hundred people nttended the doings. There was any amount of amusement, and the day passed off most pleasant ly. After nil expenses were defrayed, there was a balance of some ?Go, which will be used for school district purpos es. In speaking of the killing of Amel Snndoz in that neighborhood recently, Mr. Kent stated that there was univer sal grief over the unfortunate affair. Mr. Sandoz was held in the highest es teem among all aud the sudden and cruel murder of this innocent man has nroused deep indignation among' all who knew the gentleman, 1.1 will be .well for the officers of Slieridaii.county to extort their best efforts in endeavor ing to capture Nciman, the murderer. Such characters should not he permit, ted to escape their just dues, which is. hemp stretchihg pure and simple. Uncle Zed Goodwin has been con fined to his bed for several days on ac count of nervous prostrations, the re suit of stomach trouble. His son, Zed, Jr., was over from the Platte river to see him the first of the week. No doubt the intense hot weather of the past few days has caused an aggra vation of his physical ailment. We hope, Uncle Zed, 'that you will soon recover and that you will be spared to help celebrate the glorious victory of William Jennings Bryan next Novem ber. Ira Reed could not stand it any longer. He had to see something of the Bryan demonstration and he there fore took the train for Lincoln Monday afternoon and will make it a noint to look at the great Commoner and see the many visitors at Fairview. Mr. Reed intended to be present at the convention in Denver but was taken ill the morning he arranged to go. He will also look after real estate while in the eastern part of the state. Williard Bertram, the eight-mouth- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bart Younir. living in Westlawn, was taken sick last I'riday morning with cholera infantum and died that night. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the resi dence, interment in Greenwood ceme tery. This intense heat of the past few days has been taxing on child life and death has blighted many tender flowers of infancy. While most of the citizens of our town were at Bridgeport last Sunday attending the ball game, those remain ing at home were treated to open air religious services in the afternoon and evening by a trio of Salvation Army wanderers, A base drum ac- companunent added to the enchant ment of the vocal selections. "Princess" Alice Roosevelt Long worth aud her husband were passen gers through Alliance from Denver to the Yellowstone park last Monday morning.
