This was the organic Uod's first meeting, hut it is safe to predict that it will not be its last. The occasion was one that appealed to the heart of each member, for it must be said that in all this life there are no days looked back to with the sensu of genuine, unalloyed pleasure as those of our school years. Thev seem to be the sweet periods in life's journey. Supt. D. V. Hayes, ot the city school, presided as toastinaster and lie as suihcd his position with the same inter est that ho takes in all matters pei taming to education. Following is the program as pre sented. The Alliance High School (hi A It Was Mrs.CC. Harkor. W it.iAn.niB I. Vincent Taylor, (c) It's Future Alice AoIkmou, 'Oi Urvelltigs Kroml,iirmma...Halpli II.

Sanford Dodge in Goethe's Master Drama The universal dramatic favorite, Mr. Sanford Dodge, and a remarkably tal ented compauy will play an engage ment in this city of Goethe's "Faust." This is Mr. Dodge's tenth annual tour during which time he has produced all of the popular Shakespearean, classic and romantic dramatic masterpieces. He is one of the. few actors now living whose aim is to keep and maintain the best traditions of the stage by pro ducing only such plays as improve and enohle those who see them presented rather than demoralize and degrade, in other words, the influence Dodge's dramatic work has been al ways for good rather than evil and for this reason he should he supported bv those who desire to see the stage up lifted and elevated, rather than de graded. Mr. Dodge and his excellent com pany will appear at the Phelan opera house on Wednesday evening, Sept. 23, See ad elsewhere. have the citv vacate Railroad street as a thoroughfare from Toluca avenue west to the county road. The proposi tion was thoroughly discussed by many present and on standing vole the same granted, the company desiring to make extensive track improvements in the yard and surrounding the fine new de pot. It waB necessary that the com pany have this tract of laud and hence the same was given over to their use. Other questions were discussed and a resolution passed asking the county commissioners to confer with the rail road officiate regarding a suitable cross ing over or under the tracks west of town, something like the one at the east end of the citv. This will provide ample roadway over the railway tracks and very likely do away with further perplexities in this respect. Debs will Visit Alliance Tomorrow. E illinsc of Jas. Keith At Bridgeport A special dispatch today states that Eugene V. Dobs, socialistic candidate for president, will arrive in the city some time tomorrow in his red special from his trip to the coast und his train will be transferred to the Denver branch on his way to that city and eastern points, The exact hour oi the arrival of the special is as yet not known hut it is stated that Debs will make a short talk here, Graybill & Chopin Purchase Restaurant. The Star restaurant, which has been conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Nohe, who came to this city from Col orado Springs several months ago, has been purchased by Messrs. Graybill and Chopin from Mr. Nohe, who will devote his time to conducting a bakery.

Ashley lot 4, hlk 6, orig town of Alliance, St. , Thoroare many conflicting reports re- garding the unfortunate killing of las. Keith by M. H. Hagerty at Bridgeport last Thursday afternoon and as The Herald is not familiar with the circum stances, we produce the following from the Bridgeport News-Blade, which is probably as nearly correct as any. j Bridgeport is the only town in the val ley that has saloons and residents of j that locality predict that they will not j be licensed there another year. ' ''The shooting and killing of Jas. Keith by M. H. Hagerty on Thursday afternoon had the effect of marring the pleasure of what promised to he the most enjoyahe day of the reunion, and another blot has been placed upon the fair name of this enterprising little city. The News-Blade will refrain from com menting on the tragedy at this time, con tending itself to give the facts in the case as learned from eye-wituesses. Mr. Hag erty is under arrest and will be placed on trial for his life. Whatever justification there may he for the crime will be brought out at the trial and we believe it is not the mission of a newspaper to attempt to in cite prejudice at a time like this. From Mr. J. L. McFerron, who had just arrived in town a few moments before the trngedy, and who was an eye-witness to the sliooting, we learn the facts here given. Mr. McFerron and his son had driven up to J. W. Lee's livery barn and were unhitching their team when their at tention was attrrcted by a noise inside the barn. It proved that Mr. Keith, who was under the influence of liquor, was having Mr. Hagerty's horse Intellect up, and when he got into the buggy the animal plunged and reared. It was caught by by-standers before it had proceeded more than a couple of rods, when the occupant of the vehicle jumped out and caught hold of the animal's bit. Mike Hagerty came out of his saloon and ordered Keith to let go of the horse. A few words followed and Keilh struck at Hagerty over the horse. Thereupon Hagerty turned and walked hack into the saloon, returning in a mom ent with a revolver. He walked around to where Keith was standing and when within about six feet of him, pointed the weapon toward Keith, who still clung to the horsei and again commanded him to let go. Once again he repeated the com mand, and as the drunken man, whether from bravado or fright, failed to loosen his hold, Hagerty fired. The bullet entered the victim's abdo man at the left side, passing through the lower bowels and out at the right side. Keith dropped in his tracks, and lay there on the street until the arrival of Dr. Pal mer. The doctor made an examination df the wound, and realized at once that nothing could be done for the wounded man. In fact Keith was breathing his last when Dr. Palmer reached him, and in I about thirty minutes after the shooting. the heart had ceased to beat, and the spirit of James Keith had returned to the God who gave it. It wus a solemn mom ment and the crowd of men, who had been attracted by the news of the shooting, stood silent and awe-stricken in the pres ence of death, Mr. Hagerty, who had returned to his saloon, was placed under arrest by Mar shal J. W. Lee, who started at once for Sidney with his prisoner. Shortly after ward the village hoard held a hasty meet ing and revoked Hagerty' license, and Bridgeport now has two saloons instead of Appropriate Clothes In making this announcement of the fact that our Fall Stock of Men's Clothes is now complete and ready for your in spection, we feel confident that we have a showing of the finest ready-to-wear clothing made in America today.
