Barney Egbers, the popul 1 machiu t jst of the Burlington shops, made a short visit to Denver within the last w eek.

Subject for morning sermon at Unit ed Presbyteriau church for next Sun day: "Religion in Business and Busi ness in Religion", Evening subject: "Why?" The entertainment at Phelan's opera house last Friday night was a hummer, Hie one Tuesday evening was a dinger, and we expect the next will be a "hum dinger." John Henderson and Herbert Rob ertson of Malinda had business in Al liance Monday. They made the Her ald office a friendly call before leaving the city. Jacob Jesse left this week for Kansas City and .other southern points. He has resided many years in this county but has decided to remove to a warmer climate. The statement of the Alliance Na tional Bank, published in this issue of the Herald, shows a sound condition of that institution and a large volume of business. S. K. Warrick returned yesterday from a business trip to.Mlnitare, where he now has financial interests, as will be seen by another local item in these columns. O'Kcefe Bros, have arranged to office temporarily with Hall & Graham in the First National bank block. They expect to secure more commodious of fices later.on. A. J. Kjeldgaard, the expert soda dispenser who recently arrived from Omaha to take a position in F. J. Brennau's drug store, is making many friends in Alliance. ' . J.

A bountiful supper was served, followed by a number of timely toasts. Next Sunday will be Lincoln Day at the First Presbyterian church. The pastor will deliver an address on Lin coln in the morning, and in the evening will read a booklet entitled, "The Per fect Tribute". Another man added to the Herald's printing force this week, with prospect of the addition of still another before a great while. Patronage is a pretty good evidence of appreciation, at least we take it that way. G. G. Burke of Malinda, one of this country's old-timers, was in Alliance on business last Friday, While in the city he called at the Herald office and left us a dollar and a half to help oil the press another year. Notice the big February clearance sale ad of the Horace Boguo Store in this issue of the Herald. This sale runs from uext Saturday to Saturday of next week. It will certainly be in teresting to bargain hunters. Mr. Appleman, formerly proprietor of a hotel at Mitchell, Nebr., has been employed to travel for the Western Office Supply Co. He starts out next Monday morning and will take the main line east from Alliance. For the information of persons who have made inquiries regarding the seven-room modern house,, for sale northwest of the Emerson school, we will Bay that application for the same should be made to Mrs. Chas. Grothe. "How Plants Eat and Grow" is the title of the second number of our Home Course in Agriculture, appearing in the Herald this week. Read it. People in this country, whether farmers or not, should post up on practical agri cultural subjects. The many friends of Miss Olive Ner dy Ellis will be pleased to learn of the announcement of her marriage, which is to take place at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Minnie Ursula Ellis, io West First St., Los Angeles, Calif., Thursday evening, March 4, oq.

K. Warrick, president'; Chas. E. Ford, vice president; and G. W. Sampson, cashier. The controlling interest of this bank was formerly owned by J. W. Wchn of Bridgeport- George W. Miller, brother of L. H, and J. E. Miller, arrived this week from Brush, Colo., and will make Al lianco his home. He is n graduate piano tuner and will follow that pro fession hero. He starts out right by putting an ad in The Herald. As usual western Nebraska got a touch of the blizzard that swept across the east end of the state this week, and also as usual the winter blast was a thing of the past and lovely weather, prevailed here whilo tho east-enders were still shivering in the wake of the storm. Ellswoith Plutnstcad at the Phclan last Tuesday night was " greeted by a good audience whom lie delighted with liiiuipcrsonutions. This was the fifth ntid list of the Epworth League course for this season. We are informed Uie M-tics of entertainments netted the L L. ovqr fifty dollars. I. U. Hager has joined the automo bile? fraternity, having received a new car this week. His use of the machine was soon interfered with by tho change in the weather, but as usual the weath cr soon changed back to the kind for which this country fs noted, rfnd' tho auto is again brought into requisition. F. A. Pierson, secretary pf the West ern Office Supply Co., is out on his first trip as a traveling salesman. His partner, Lloyd C. Thomas, received notice today from him of the sale in one day of three of the celebrated L. C. Smith & Bro. typewriters. That's going some for a new mau, we guess, yes. Geo. E. Douglas called at the Herald office nionday and showed us some photographs of scenes taken on his fat 111 four and one-half miles east of Alliance last summer. Persons from the effete cast who still entertain the idea that this country is a barren waste would certainly open their eyes wide nt these scenes. ' Newspaper reports indicate that the grand jury at Alliance is not turning out well for the prosecutors. Mayor Smith strikes a blow at the whiskey business by dosing the houses of ill fame. He says that if he can not stop the sale of liquor in these places, they must remain closed during his term of office. Chadron Journal. H. Scott Thomas, son of the Herald editor, arrived on No. 41 yesterday to take a position in this office. For some time past he has held a position as pressman for the Rees Printing com pany, the largest job printing establish ment in Omaha, and his acquisition to the Herald force will be much appreci ated, especially in our job work depart ment. A birthday surprise party was given Mrs. Marie Berckheimcr last Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. A. E. Nelson on Toluca Avenue. Re freshments were served by the hostess and an especially enjoyable time is re ported. Mrs. Berckheimer's freinds presented her with a beautiful cut glass sugar and creamer, with wishes for many returns of the happy occasion. Farmers and others who wish the Nebraska state bulletins on agricultur al subjects should write t& Val Keyser, Supt. of Farmers' Institutes, State farm, Lincoln. The bulletin on "Spraying Potatoes" should be in the hands of, and read by, every person interested in the developement of Box Butte county, especially those engaged in, or who expect to become engaged in, potato growing. A banana peel on the sidewalk on the north side of the Alliance National Bank caused Miss Effie Kibble to re ceive a hard fall last Friday evening. She was assisted into Miller Bros.' stationery store, where she waited till a carriage arrived to convey her to her home. She was attended by Dr. Bow man. Her injuries, while very painful at the time, proved to bo not permanent and she was able within a few days to resume her usual office work. Does it pay to advertise? Well, yes, we guess it does. Last Thursday we inserted a local-ad for the Nebraska Land and Feeding Co. of Ellsworth, Nebr., which was ordered to run tf (till forbidden). On Saturday, two days after the ad was printed, Chas. C. Jameson, secretary of the company, wrote us: "Please discontinue the ad, which I placed in your paper a few days ago, and send down your bill. It brought the desired results." "Seek to reclaim wet land", "Land owners form new drainage districts", etc., such are some of the headlines in local papers in the east end of the state. One exchangere joices that tho cast of "reclaiming" a certain area, known as a "drainage district", will not exceed two dollars per ,acre. If any of our readers of AlHance or vicin ity are dissatisified with climatic or soil conditions here, wo advise that they go east about threq or four hundred miles and remain a few weeks, when they will be glad to return to this country and remain where there, is moisture sufficient to grow good crops without having to wade around in mud to do it. As a result of timely advertising, the musical "cntcitaintuent at tho opera house last Friday night was well at tended, the proceeds from the sale of tickets amounting to over a hundred dollars. Thoso who attended were well repaid for the money and time expended. Tho entire piogram of in strumental and vocal music and read ings was Well received, but wo think the violin solos of Che v. Crispin! were deserving of special mention, particu larly his rendition of llttovotorc, which was heartily eucoicd. Should Mr Crmpini return to Alliance in concert he will without doubt be greeted by a full house. After paying all expenses of the entertainment a neat sum . re mained for the benefit of the libiaty, for which the concert was given'.

Flumbj II, E. Fosdike, C. A. Dole and J. T. Har wood, all of Ardmorc, S. D., had busi ness in Alliance last week. Thev report their town as being in a prosper ous condition and tho country around it developing into a good agricultural district. Walter O. Bartfcs is tho happiest man in town, wedo think A baby girl, born to Mr. and Mrsi Haines last Sunday night accounts for this exceed ingly happy mood, Yesterday morning just as wo wero getting well started on our day's work of writing heavy editorials and light lo cals for tho edification and information of the Herald's host of readers, our office door opened and in came a crowd of four physicians, Drs. Bowman, Boll wood, Hand and Copscy. Of courso we were startled, as our first thought was that their call was in the discharge of tliuir professional duties, and we be gan wondciing whether they had called to hold n consultation over our physic al cdndition or dissect our anatomy. Wo were sooti assured, however, that it was neither, but that thoy wero out in tho interest of the Alliance hospital, disposing of tickets for tho charity ball to bo given at the Phclan opera house this evening and receiving subscriptions from those whoso liberality prompted them to assist the institution in that way. ""Notwithstanding tho shock our nerves received from the first impression their visit made, we enjoyed tho call very much, indeed, and assure them of a cordial welcome at any time in tho fu ture they are out on a similar errand. Special Train to Hemingford County Superintendent Phillips in forms; the Herald reporter that the Burlington will run a special train from Alliance to iictnlnirtord next Saturday morning to accom modate all the people of this city and vicinity who wish to attend tho County Industrial Contest, The trlan will leave Alliance at 8 a, in. and returning la tho evening at an hour not yet announced. Prof. Phillips has given much work to tho preparations for the contest, und ho and the people of Hemingford desire and are expecting a liberal at tendance. They are entitled to it. Hymeneal. About the time this Usue of The Herald lb being perused at the firesides of Its city subscribers this evening, there will be transpiring at the resi dence of the bride's parents, Mr. aud Mrs. E. T, Kibble, a most happy event, the marriage Of their daughter, Miss Ellle, to Mr. C. I. Rodgcrs, head clerk in the mercantile establishment of A. D. Rodgers. Rev. J, L. Vallow will oc cupy the oflleo of otUclatlng clergyman. We are just about ready to go to press when information of the wedding reaches us, but wo "hold forms" long enough to congratulate the fortunate groom and wish the newly married couple all the happiness it is possible for us to think of on such short notice. Different From Some Others Our system of doing advertising may be different from that of some local papers, in fact we know it is, but we are sure that it commends itself to the common sense of our readers. We have a few rules in regard to accepting foreign advertising," that is advertising from persons and firmB outside of Al liance. In the first place, we do not want auy advertising from outside parties engaged in lines of business which are properly represented in our town. No matter if they should offer to pay more than our regular rates, such advertising is not desired. We are willing to advertise for other lines of legitimate business, however, but not at a lower rate than is charged our home merchants and professional men. We have known, aud still know, of some publishers of local papers who give a lower rate to outside advertisers in order to secure their business. The practice 19 wroug aud grossly incon sistent. For instance, a St. Louis man will send the publisher of a local paper a calender, listed at 35 cents, iu exchange for the publication of a niueteen-line reading notice. Not for us. He is not entitled to auy such discount, or to any discouut whatever from us, and such propositions for advertising find their proper place in our waste basket. J BUSINESS LOCALS.
