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

McNamara was present at the musical
and at the conclusion of the program
addressed the assembly briefly on the

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

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.
