Sale of Delinquent Tax.

all real estate and same will be sold in
November if taxes are not paid.
Fine Portrait of Mr.Bryan
. A magnificent portrait of W. J. Bryan
adorns the east window of Breunan's
store, and is attracting great attention.
This may be said to be a trophy of the
Denver convention where it occupied a
conspicuous place in the rotunda of the
Brown Palace hotel during the national
session. This was secured by the Al
liance democrats who would nut he
satisfied until the prize was landed.
It is a test of Mr. Bryan's popularity
when every minute as people look at
the prominent features of the portrait,
they remark, "He's the man.".
The home talent that presented the
vaudeville show at the opera house
last night, under the direction of Maud
Palmer Terrell, surely acquitted them
selves in mi appreciative manner, to
say the least. Every number on the
program was roundlv applauded and
the audience, which was not as large
as it should have been for such an en
tertaimnent, went home thoroughly
satisfied with what they had heard
and seen.
"Where the Southern Koses Grow,"
a trio sung by 'Messrs. Jack Watson,
Dick Burke and Wayne Csdiker, in
which the chorus of voices joined, was
complete harmony, and the composer's
sweet expression of music in the beau
tiful song was brought out in fullness.
J. W. Guthrie's rendition of "Be
douin Love Song," as usual, brought
forth great applause from the audience.
"How Many Have Yon Told That
To?" was a neat little song well render
ed by Cecil Krcamer and Lloyd Smith
and they had to repeat the same to
satisfy the appieciation of the house.
A pianologue by Maud Palmer Ter
rell followed, and the lady who so ad
roitly and quickly arranged the pro
gram, did her part with the ease and
grace that is her natural possession.
Jack Miller in a baritone solo was
unusually fine and he sang his selec
tion with more than ordinary effect and
; inspiration.
"Just Some One," a vocal number
I by Jack Watson and Dick Burke, was
I most pleasing as is always the case
I when these two lads turn their voices
' loose to music-loving ears.
' Part two included a sketch presented
.by Miss Hazel Bowman and Miss
Agatia Gregg. It was the case of a
! fortune teller in the person of the
former telling the secrets of Miss
Agatha, the curious one.' A lover was
i of course, in the deal and untold trou
1 ble resulted from the fortune teller's
description of a dog instead of the lov
er, whom the teller of secrets agreed to
describe for a stipulated price.
"1 Am a Crazy Jay," a solo and
step-about by Hay Dictlcin, as the
title of the song suggests, was indeed
comical and the "rubo"' character
brought out in all its hay-seed person
ality. A tambourine dance by Miss Helen
Broome was n number also appreciated
by the audience and the little lady was
asked to repeat the act.
"The Dutch Girl," by Miss lnicc
McCorkle and Ed. Hcardon, was a
musical furce that found merit in these
two persons.
Oh, but the "Bloomer Girl" ball
gome that followed left but few sober
faces in the audience. It was enough
to make a statue laugh to observe the
antics of the players and the jestures
of the umpire, Ed. Kcardon. It was
the warmest ball game in Alliance this
season, without doubt.
"All the Comforts of Home," was a
little domestic farce in which Jack Mil
ler and Miss Inice McCorkle did their
parts well to illustrate the little family
jars that will happen once in awhile
(and sometimes twice) between hus
band and wife. Ed. Hcardon, as the
colored waiter, enlivened the occasion
with his comical antics, that brought
forth a storm of laughter from the
house.
The "Butterfly Dance" by Miss
Marie Dismer was a daintv affair and
the dancer acquitted herself in a fairy
like manner most artistically.
Master Morris Nelson in "Costume
Song" did his part to make the per
formance so successful.
The concluding act of the vaudeville
consisted of an Indian dance that will
long be remembered as decidedly inter
esting. It was a genuine Indian scene
in which the bucks and squaws were
attired in the costumes of the noble
red man and the aborginian music ac
companying the weird dance, brought
the audience mentally to the home of
Indian tribes of long ago.
M. Lcuther Griffith, pianoist, W.
W. Ward, vocalist, and Hay Close,
buck and win dancer, performers of
rare ability, who are special attractions
at the Jollo, assisted in the performance
gratuitously.
Maud Palmer Terrell surely haH won
the confidence of Alliance people in
her management of performances and
her ability as a musician is thoroughly
established here.
