Baby Boy Born

I way east. The mother of the new-born
t boy had taken a berth on the sleeping
I enr "Challenge," and Conductor
Ponoth was soon made aware that she
needed assistance. Three women from
a chair car ahead volunteered their
services and went back to care for the
Cravv-ford passenger. It was but a fmv
moment auet tuat when even' person i
fon thr triuj was talking over the un
, usual occurrence of a baby being born
ou the train. Bat thfo is not the first
incident ni the kiud by wy means.

Every voter who believes in the prin

Those interested are especially
invited to attend and take part in the
proceedings. Matters of mteiost to

o'clock p. m., should be remembered.
First Shipment of
Box Butte Potatoes
Beal Brothers, Alliance's well known
commissioners, shipped out yestetday
the first car load of this season's pota
toes grown in Box Butte county and
they were fine samples of the immense
crop that will find its way to the east
ern markets from now on. The aver
age yield of spuds will be eighty bu
shels to the acre, and the price paid
for this shipment was sixty cents per
bushel. Now it will not require much
mental exertion to discover the value
of land iu this county at that rate, say
nothing of other crops that are suc
cessfully grown. It is strange that
there should be hesitation on the part
of land buyers to pay the low prices of
land asked here -when one crop will
more than pay the price' of the land.
But this will not long remain so; J48
margin an acre will soon give Box Butte
laud a lcputatiou that will advance the
riricc of land far above . that what it
now sells at.
Beal Brothers have an excellent po
tato sot tor and sacker, which they are
selling. It is used extensively in the
great Greeley, Colo., potato section,
and has done much to give that coun
try the potato record it has. If Box
Bulte farmers will sort and sack their
Bputls as is done in Colorado, it won't
belong befote we will excel all othots

Sunday's Ball Game.
Alliance suffered defeat at the hands
of the Sidney ball team cm the home
grounds last Sunday. While both
teams played a good, fast, clean game
of ball, Alliance made mote errors
than Sidney, thus losing the game.
Copsey and Gadd did the battery work
for Alliance and, of course, it was of a
high order. McKihbeu and Owens
filled a like position for Sidney very
creditably,' The game was marked
throughout by good feeling on both
sides. The score was as follows:

Alliance will play the Oxford Indians

Mrs. J, H, Vaughan is visiting in
Denver this week.

Superintendent D. W. Hayes of the
city schools has received word from
the state educational depaitment that

the largest attendance at the recent

It is believed that this delay iu the

it will enable them to complota most
of tlits fall work before starting to

"The Lieutenant
and the Cnwboy"
"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy,"
in which Mr. Theodore Lotch is star
ring this season, is well conceived,
happily written and woll balanced.
The plot, with its romance, intrigue
and portrayal of military lifo and
enough of its pomp and circumstance
to make it realistic is worked out so
skillfully that it easily holds the at
tention of the audience throughout.
The stage business is very effective,
ami the fall of the curtain is so well
timed that the end ol the act is made
to resemble the point iu a continued"
story when the words "tb bo con
tinued" nre customarily introduced,
The pari of Bud Larrabee, fits Mr.
Lorch like a glovo, 'and he has won
new laurels iu its interpretation. Ho
is one of the best exponents of Western
drama on the stage today, and with the
assistance of an extremely capable
supporting company and a complete
scenic equipment, gives an ideal per
formance. Seldom, if over, has a
moic brilliant offering been secured for
Alliance, and simply justice demands
that every scat be filled in the opera
house Friday night, August 28.
