Silver Medal Contest
The W. C. T. V. silver medal con-
I test at the Baptist church last evening
was a success. Two of the contestants,
Doris Hayes and Edna Bowman, were
unable to participate; with tliat excep
tion the program as pubhehed in The
Herald was rendered very acceptably
to an appreciative audience. Paid ad
missions amounted to $g-$o, although
the admission foe was only 10 cents
each.
The winning contestant was
Jannet Grassiuau, the subject of her
reading being "The Old Man's Story,"
Martha Washington Tea
The Martha Washington tea nt the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Ache
son was postponed from Monday even
ing to Tuesday evening on account of
the storm that prevailed Monday. The
tea was well patronized, the weather
having cleared up and the sidewalks
having been prettv well cleared of
snow before six o'clock.
The guests were received in true
Colonial style and entertained during
tea with music furnished by local tal
ent. The hostess and her assistants
were dressed a la Martha and George
Washington, which added to the novel
ty of the entertainment, und the house
was appropriately decorated. The
fiupperwas bountifuland alt present en
joyed the occasion.
Success of the Crystal.
The Crystal theatre continues to
draw crowded houses every night of
the week and the management in its
efforts to provide attractive features
have been well rewarded for their efforts-
In fact, it is the general expres
sion that those who attend the Crystal
get more for their money than is to bo
seen at shows often charging higher
prices of admission. The vaudeville
features of the Crystal are both inter
esting nnd up-to-date, with the con
stant changes that are made. This
week the Coles are amusing the patrons
of this popular play house with musical
features. The younger Cole is surely
a stage prodigy and a whole show in
himself. Next week Lessik & Anita,
the world-renowned jugglers, will be at
the Crystal and will entertain the aud
iences with rare treats in their line of
acting. The moving pictures continue
to be the best that can be secured and
the musical features are also up-to-date.
"The best advertised town in Nc
rnka"s what Prof.' Hunt
01 byra4-ilBVB
cuse, ftelir., said in Ins talk to the
Alhauce Commercial Club a few weeks
since, Alliance will soon be still more
a'dvertised. A. Decker, special corrcs
pondent of the Omaha Bee, was here
several days securing data for a write
up to be published in some future is
sue of that newspaper. lie has had a
large amount of experience in tepor
torial and .newspaper work, has travel
ed extensively and is in position to
form a correct opinion of the relative
importance of the towns which he vis
its. He thinks that Alliance is des
tined to continue to be the principal
city of western Nebraska. His write
up will be embellished with a number
ot photographs and will be 'an exten
sive one, such as the city deserves.
Miss Ruth Hager of Alliance, who
has been singing at the Ruby theatre
for the past three nights, returned to
her home today. Miss Hager is a tal
ented musician and possesses a very
fine voice which fact was demonstrated
when she so beautifully rendered the
song, "Golden Dreams." She is ex
pected to return to Crawford in about
two weeks to accept the position at the
Ruby permanently. Crawford Courier.
The report of the Law and Ordor
League published in thib issue of the
Herald is printed just as received, but
there seems to us to be a discrepancy
in the comparison of statistics between
the last saloon year and the first dry
year, as the figures for the wot year
arc for twelve mouths and for the dry
for only nine and one-halt months.
There will probably be further expla
nation next week.
Persons writing for publication in
The Herald under an assumed name,
or nome de plume, are requested to
furnish their real names, "not for pub
lication but as an evidence' of good
faith." No article has been published
in The Herald since the paper has been
under the present management hut

"THE FLOWER OF
THE RANCH"
This Famous Musical Play with a
Company of Thirty-six People in
the Phelan Opera House Monday,
March 1st.
Playgoers of Alliance are exceedingly
fortunate in having this famous musi
cal play visit Alliance for it is seldom a
company of such magnitude can af
ford to visit or play in towns smaller
than Denver. The play is a first
cousin to "The Time, The Place and
The Girl" and is written by the same
author. It is a fast, lively play writ
ten for fun only with lots of spirit and
dash. All special scenery will be used
and the elccttical effects will be opera
ted from a machine in the gallery.
Those failing to attend this play wi 1
regret it afterward when hearing their
friends telling about what a fine play it
was, the same as was experienced after
the District Leader was here. The
opera .house management believed it
unnecessary to canvas or list the town
from the fact that readers of theatrical
news in the daily press know too well
the merit of this great musical play,
"The Flower of the Ranch." Seats
will he on sale beginning Sunday
morning. rw,wrww.
