The opera house was the first scenes of the evening's pleasure. A select proeram took place. C. S. Sowers, president of of the local aerie presided. Music and speech making entertained the guests for an hour 01' more and the proceedings closed with an address by Mr. lager, of Chadron, who is the state .secretary of the order. A banquet next took place iu the handsome club rooms over Mallery's stor. The menu included all that the inner man could wish for and the club steward, F. D.

Burlington, says the Bee, accompanied by C. B. Ogle, traveling freight agent of that road.- They had with them about seventy-five Indians from llm Buffalo Bill Wild West show, whom they were icturning to the Pine Ridge agency, where they will Bpend the winter and be ready for another season next spring. Coming into Omaha Mr. McCuue advanced the Indians $10 apiece that they might do some "trad- ing" in Omaha and return to the reser vation dressed entirely in civilian clothes, The Indians were taken to the Lange hotel for lunch, after which they came uptown to do their trading and left at 3 p.m. over the Northwest ern for the agency. Mr. McCune re ports a splendid trip and also that the show did a big business all through the west. He will accompany the Indians to the reservation, where he will pay "i' f them off, carrying about $10,000 with him for that purpose, the government regulations requiring that a certain percentage of their season's pay be held until they reach the reservation. Colonel Cody and most of the remain, der of the show wdnt to . New York from Memphis, where the show closed and the show will be put iu winter quarters at Bridgeport, Conn, Colonel Cody is the possessor of n new hcauti ful $5,000 horse which nq bought in California.

InfiftMit Owing to the impossibility of getting Mr. Mullen of O'Neill here to assist in putting on a class of candidates for the tfhighfs of Columbus on next Sunday, the Alliance council has been obliged to change their data of initiation to Sunday, December fith. Let all who are interested take notice to this change of date and remember that the class is to be initiated Sunday, December 6, 1908. Signed, H. A. CorsKY-, Grand Knight. Musical Rehearsal y Academy Scholars Thtf fust public musical rehearsal by me pupus ot st. Agnes' acauemy in this city took place last Monday even ing in the music rooms of that institu tion.' TJie program included both vo cal and instrumental selections, piano and violin renditions being the features of the latter. Sister I'hilomcua, who has supervision of the musical de partment, proved her ability as an in structress by the merit of her scholars, who acquitted themselves commend- auly in their millibars. Tliotich a .fey ninths bav6lared sues St,inftta that' all told, many, dollars were Agnes' academy is iu operation, it is plain to see that the sister of St.- Francis are in the front ranks of edu cators and the scholars committed to their care will rcceiye every advantage desired in an educational way. Father McNamara was present at the musical and at the conclusion of the program addressed the assembly briefly on the subject of education and the ad- vantages put forth by the sisters. Henceforth there will be entertain ments of this kind quite often to which the public will be invited. Governw Sheets Alliance Citizen As Member if His Military Staff The daily press of Monday announce the appointment of Attorney William Mitchell of this city as Judge Advocate General on the military staff of Gover nor Shalleubergcr, This is consideied a position of honor and recognition for Alliance, as well as Mr. Mitchell, who was not aware of his name being con sidered until reading the announce ment iu the press dispatches. Mr, Mitchell is now addressed by his friends as "Judge" or "Colonel", as either is correct and proper Hurrah for Box Butte! T. J, O'Keefe, editor of the Alliance Herald, spent Saturday iu Omaha, says the Bee, singing the praises of the cap ital of Box Butte county and trying to convince the people of the metropolis that his home town will one day be a rival of Omaha. Mr. O'Keefe says that the new Burlington passenger station, costing 80,000, has just been opened, and that during the year $30, 000 has been expended in his city iu erecting a new Catholic academy, and another 30,000 in a new high and one graded school. Accompanying Mr, O'Keefe was G. L. Shumway of Scotts bluff, one of the democratic war horses of that part of the state. Mr, Shum way was a candidate for congress two years ago. Small Pox at Sheridan There is an epidemic of small jhjx at Sheridan, Wyo., but accoidiug to the newspapers of that city conditions have been exaggerated. The Post says there are only four or five cases of the genuine disease, no deaths have oc curred, and the utmost precaution is being taken to prevent further spread of the coideinic. Wi ShMM AN to Thankful Well, here wo are again on the an nivarsary of our national Thanksgiv ing. The day we are called upon to give thanks to the Creator of all thingB for the blessings showered down upon us during the past year. Of bounteous harvest and freedom from wars and pestilence. In every granary there is plenty, and the sheaths of the field arc filled with the breadstuff. Likewise, the vines of the vineyard havo blossom ed and brought forth fruit in abund ance. Tho fattling of tho fields cover the hills and dale, and God's blessing showers down upon -a conteoted peo ple. Then why should not tho child ren of tho Creator raiso their hands in thanksgiving? Certainly, there are conditions and obnoxious laws that work hardship on the land at times but these are the failings of mankind. The order of things as destined by a wise and judicious Creator aro not so des tincd but man must suffer for the er rors of his making and the only thing left to do is a concentrated effort to right these misuses of God's privileges as soon as possible. Politically, there are those who have Ujore to be thankful for on this glorioiiB day than others. The man who took the two-to-oue bet on general results may have to sit down to a frugal meal of pork and beau's while the winner of the bet may now feast on turkey and cranberries. But wliat of it? Pork and beans properly prepared is one of the daintiest dishes that one can con sume. In fact, we have heard many a man say that he would rather have the Boston dish set before him than the finest turkey that ever graced a table. So you see, it all depends how you look at it. But, then, all is not glory to the Alliance republican. Not a bit of it. Many a party follower, who cheered lustily on election night for Taft and the republican party, found out later orejfcat his bets on the state were lost awl his winnings in the hands of' the consolata democrats. It is esti- won by the, betters who considered that two-to-dne bets on Nebraska look ed good and in fact they were good for the democrats. So we may say that under all condi tions, we are all in a position to be thankful. We both lost and we both won. It was no skin game like "heads I win and tails you lose." It was, jtist pick your bet and put up your money. General results or on the stale. If you aie a democrat and wagered on general results, you cat pork and beans today, While on the other hand, if you were lucky enough to put your coin 011 the state of Nebraska, the ottier fellow eats the combination that made Boston famous, while you can help yourself to turkey and cranberries. In any event, don't forget to give thanks on this glorious Thanksgiving day. For it is mqet and just. Ralph E. Hayalt, otie of the teachers in the Junior Normal course in this city last season, died at his home in Auburn, New York last Saturday. Mr, Hayatt was a progressive young edu cator who came west about three years ago on account of ill health. He seem ed much improved and leturued to his native state when the insideous disease again began its ravages and carried him away iu the prime of life. A mild form of scarlet fever has spread over the city and several of the younger generation as a result have beeii' compelled to remain indoors. This is quite a trial these fine days. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Warrick is among the afflicted but we are pleased to state is convelescing nicely. A strict quarantine is pursued iq every case by the health officers and families where the disease appears that no serious results may follow. The card party and luncheon given by the Daughters of Isabella at the Knights of Columbus hall last Friday night was well attended and a delight ful time experienced by all present. i High-five was the game of the evening I and prizes were awarded to the win I ners. Father McNamara and Mrs. , Thos, Berckhemer were awarded the i honors for' the greatest number of jgame to their credit,. The receipts of 1 thevevening's entertainment amounted I to ? 17.00. Death of Mrs. Armstrong Word was received here Monday of tho death of Mrs. Henry Armstrong of Sheridan. Death was the result of a siege of typhoid fever. Tho patient was taken to the hospital a short time before death overcame her. Her hus band, Henry Armstrong, died in that city several months ago. Both were former residents of Alliance and well remembered. Mr, and Mrs. G. A. Blinn arrived from Denver yesterday for a visit with their ncico, Mrs. Dan Fitzpatrick. One of the attractions that drew them here was the Thanksgiving ball. It will be noted elsewhere in this is sue that tho Alliance band will' give an entertainment and ball at the opera house on New Year's evo, A special program of music will be rendered and n . the affair is to conclude with a grand ball. This will, no doubt, be a social event in which all our people will par ticipate. We want a band here next, year to help toot our enterprises and progress, and wo should contribute to tho success of the organization by be ing present New Year's eve. ' ', Dr. Barr was called last night to visit Mrs. Claude Anderson, two, miles" west of Bingham, who wastry sick aud had quite a thrilling experience cnroule, the buggy tipping over in a sand pit and spilling him out, together with his tool chest aud medicine re positories, With groat presence of mind he yelled "hoi" and tho team at once discontinued their journey. By a heap of thinking and main strength he succeeded in righting the vehicle and t continued the journey, losing about an hour's time by the mishap. Mrs. An derson was better when he left" there this morning, Hyannis Tribune.
