has been seen in Alliance for a long
time was plaved Monday afternoon be
tween the Alliance team and the Wy

that the work of Copsey and Gadd,
the battery, was of particular excellence.

Carrie Nation
Visits Alliance
The renowned Carrie Nation stopped
off in this city yesterday morning on
her way to Scottsbluff, where she fills
a date at the Chautauqua meeting this
week. Carrie came in on the early
morning westbound passenger from
the east and was a guest at the Hila
Grand between "trains. The earliness
of the hour made her "admiring" visi
tors but few. However, just before
the Guernsey train pulled out the sa
loon smasher made her appearance on
the platform of one of the coaches and
I spying two young men smoking cigars,
proceeded to "bawl" them out for in
dulging in the "nasty habit," as she
termed it. "If God Almighty intend
ed you young men for smoke houses he
would have turned your noses up the
other way," piped the little dried up
woman, who was dressed in black.
Though having the appearance of sixtv
years, Carrie possesses lots of life and
mighty good lung power, which she
does not hesitate to use. A young
man, who was smoking a cigarette, ac
companied a young lady to the car on
which Carrie was standing and she
proceeded to give her opinion of any
young woman who would keepcompany
with a man who smoked the filthy little
pill. But every one took Carrie good
naturedly and had a hearty laugh over
the queer way of carrying out her pet
reforms.
