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. Eighteen young people will

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

Hand. 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.
