Take a look at Cloburn's new ad in this issue of the Herald. F. VV. Hucke of Hemingford was nn Alliance visitor Friday. R. F. Cro3by, piano tuuer, with G. A. Crancer company, Alliance- ' Mrs. J. R. Jordan and son Clayton left yesterday for a visit at Gordon, Nebr. George Mollring left for Denver last Sunday, expecting to bp away four or five days. Rev. D. 13. McLaughlin, the evangel ist, returned the first of the week from Bridgeport. J. M. Dineen and Peter Reubcndahl of Madison had business in Alliance last Friday. James Watson, the genial Nasby of the Marple postoffice, was one of our last press day callers. Scottsbluff will have electric lights, the village board having granted a franchise for that purpose. Miss Bertha Gregg spent Sunday at home, coming to Alliance Saturday from Bayard where she is employed as teacher. As we have no dealer in monuments in Alliance, The Herald this week in serts an advertisement for J. F. Bloom & Co-, Omaha. John Bennett returned to Alliance Wednesday to complete the arrange ments for the removal of his family from that place to Scottsbluff. Scotts bluff Herald. Rev. J. R. Jordan, having resigned from the pastorate of the Alliance cir cuit, M. E. church, has been appointed to the Bayard charge, where he preach ed last Sunday- In anticipation of the inauguration next week of President-elect Taft, The Herald this week gives some interest ing reading on page six in regard to ths inauguration of presidents. Mrs- Daniel Egan was a passenger to Alliance this noon, where she will enjoy a brief stay with her daughters, Mary and Winnie, who are attending St. Agnes Academy. Hyanuis Tribune- "Water in. its relation to plant growth" is the subject of the fourth paper in the Herald's Home Course in Modern Agriculture. This subject it would seem will be of special interest to farmers in this part of the west. A convenient place to .subscribe for periodicals is at the Alliance postoffice, where Carl W. Thomas can take your subscription. He has the agency for a fine list of magazines and other pub lications. See his ad in The Herald. We are pleased to note the fine trade the Alliance Shoe store is having under the new management of J. M. Mc Namara. There is trade here sufficient to give one exclusive shoe house a good ' patronage, such as this store is getting. William E. Lotspeich, a tesident of Deuel county, 18 miles south of Bing ham, well and favorably known in this vicinity, was a Hyanuis visitor Monday evening, goiug from here to Alliance the following morning. Hyanuis Tri bune. Miss Irene Elliott returned last week from Wyomiug.'where she spent sever al weeks visiting relatives and fiiends. Miss Elliott has assumed her former position at Regan's millinery store, which will be pleasant news to the patrons of that popular establishment. Henry Broich is still confined to his home with rheumatism and his condi tion is but slightly improved. It is now about six weeks since he was at tacked by this annoying enemy of the flesh and for one accustomed to good health weighs heavily on the old man. Alliance is putting on metropolitan airs in more ways than one. S. At Miller's Bill Posting aud Advertising service helps to give the town a citified appearance. Mr- Miller has about 1200 linear feet in his new steel plant, covering 28 different locations, which enables him to accommodate a large number of patrons. A flock of five Eagles flew over from Lakeside to Alliance the latter part of last week, the object of their flight here being tb attend the blowout and take' in the city. Their names are M. W- Hunsaker, F. DeFrance, T. J. Thompson, F. W. Black and F. R. Allen. They 'favored The Herald with a call before returning. The saloon question promises to be the great issue during the spring cam paign in Alliance this year. The "wet" element is anxious, to re-establish sa loons in that town while he "drys" are equally anxious to keep the booze joints down and out. Alliance should adopt the Scottsbluff method of sett! ing the saloon question and keep them out. Scottsbluff Herald. Unless there is some special rcasno for delay, heronlter The Herald will be printed on Thursday of each week in time to reach its city subscribers on that day, the other lists going out on the afternoon trains. However, we may be a 'few hours lato next week as our publication day falls on inaugura tion day and we wish to give a repoit of President Taft's inaugural address. A few dajs ago "Bud" Bowers, who is trapping muskrats and coyotes, in the valley north of the Abbott ranch, 1ound an eagle in one of the traps set for coyotes. It was a noble specimen of the great American bird, measuring 7?l feet from tip to tip and was sent to a taxideunist at Custer, S. D, to be mounted. He and John Caipeuter,Sr-, have been working together and getting good results one day taking 99 musk rats. Grant County Tribune. If school teachers were alwas a thoughtful and painstaking in regard to the welfare ol their scholars as were Professor Hayes and .his assistant teachers of the city schools on Monday of this week, there would not be so many children lost or suffer badly on their way home from school, even in the worst storms. By the help of the telephone and otherwise the Alliance teachers ascertained that all pupils were safely at home before night. Even the elements seem to have conspired with the officials of Alliance in trying to improve the moral tone of the city. Last Saturday night fire broke out in a building formerly a place of ill repute but which was re cently vacated by order of Mayor Smith. The A. F. D. responded promply to the fire alarm and did good work fighting the flames, but the fire had so far advanped before being dis covered that the building was almost entirely destroyed. The Dougherty Stock company, now playing at the opera house, is certainly deserving of the patronage of the the atre going public. It is hard to dis tinguish as to the stars, as all the play ers carry out their part in a manner that is beyond criticism. Last even ing the house was packed to the doors, and several people were turned away owing to lack of seating capacity. This company will remain here the remaind er of this week, concluding with a play on Saturday evening.

A vast measure of time, money, and oppor tunity Is lost in making mistakes and trying to rectify them. To correct mistakes Is a good work, but to prevent them is a far higher achievement. The "ounce of prevention" may be applied by carefully considering some of the chief causes of errors In business. They are: Carelessness, Inattention and superficial Interest; Laziness not being willing to take the trouble; Accepting appearances as facts without Investigation; Proceeding without discussion or advice; Impulsive decisions not well thought out; Lack of foresight and preparation; , Wrong theories and biased advice; False economy and desire for gain; Lack of tact and thoughtfulness; Forgetting and neglect of duty; Depending on those not properly Instructed; Failure to take due precautions; Failure to safeguard weak points; Overconfldence and exaggerated hopes. The remainder may be charitably classed as the result of human frailty a last resort In explaining mistakes that can not be rectified nor traced to their roots In undeveloped char acter. (Copyright, 1W7, by Joteph B, BowUi.) A Creditable Entertainment. The initial entertainment of St- Ag nes' Academy was given last Thursday evening at the Phelan opera (191180. This being the first entertainment since the opening of the school last Septem ber, there were some difficulties to bo overcome in order to make it a success, but that this was done is the universal verdict of those who attended. Much credit is due Mother Agatha, as well as to her efficient assistants and the schol ars, for the ptcparation and execution of such an interesting program. The names of those who were on the program are: Virgil Caveti, Isabella Higgins, Sadie Dunn, Eva Clements, Claire Arinuth, Hazel Cramer, Delta King, Mary Egan, Agnes Elmore, Ruth Morris, Willie O'Kecfc, Edward McNulty, Fred House and Michael Nolan, We are pleased tb say that it is the intention to give another entertainment at the close of the school year .next June.

A good wash tub costs one dollar. A good piano costs over three hundred times us much, yet sometimes the wush-tub receives the most actual care. Some people expect Impossibilities of their pi anos. It would seem that because the purchas ing of a piano Is to many u very Important event aud Involves quite a largo expenditure, they expect It not only to last a long lifetime, but to keep In perfect order and give satisfaction with out its receiving any 'cure other than seeing that it remntns in the house right side up. A piano should have more care than a watch, and certainly no thinking person would expect his watch to keep good time aud run year after, year without care, and without being cleaned and regulated about every twelve months. A piano has a delicate mechanism und many of the parts aro as finely adjusted as the works of a watch, and it needs more care becausu its works and case (action, etc.) will not stand tho changes of temperature so well. You ask, "How often should my piano be tuned?" l'erhaps tho best answer is: "As often as it needs it," though many would never be able to judge from such an answer. The piano needs more tuning the first year of Us existence tlian thereafter, because tho strings nre uotsutliclent- ly stretched and the parts settled, or us we say in pluno parlance, it is not fully "set". A piano should have at leabt four tunings the first year. Your piano came from tho factory in good condition, but of course got out of tune, as piunos do every few mouths, so you sent for a tuner. Now, how did you select that tuner? Hero is an important point, for tho future of the instrument depends upon skillful treatment. If you employ a bungler, your piano will suffer, and too many bungler.s will send the best piano ever made to tho scrap heup in time. I call your attention to these points because I wish to give you a little information ubout piano tuning and demonstrate to you that I am equipped and will give your piano as tender and skillful care as the most careful physician be stows upon his patient. Placed in the hands of 11 11 expert tuner the life of any good piano is long and its purity of tone will be maintained, not because the strings ulone are tuned to a certain accurate pitch, but because the expert will give tho Instrument the necessary tuning, voicing, adjustments and action regulating. There are many so-called tuners who have good ears, but utterly lack the mechanical skill and knowledge to repair the action, make, ad justments, etc. - On the other hand, there are plenty of mechanics who can do the mechanical part, hut know no more about voicing and tuning than a novice. You must haw the mechanic and tuner combined. Another point of extreme impoitance is the accurate setting of the equal temperament, and I eoidd enumerate many other others, all of which the really expert timer considers nnd which 1 will guarantee to give you. Great progress has been made in piano tuning as well us iu other professions of late years, and to get the best results one must keep abreast of the times. That was why I took the full course of the Niles Oryant School of Piana Tuning, of Battle Creek, Mich., the largest and most thoroughly equipped school of piano tuning in the world, iu fact, the only one of much more thun local im portance, This courbo provides thorough in struction in every branch of the profession and my work since receiving my diploma there has established my right to claim for myself the title of Expert Piano Tuner. When tho slightest irregularity of action or tone is uoticed, send for me, for "a stitch iu time saves nine," aud I can easily prevent what would bo hard to remedy in a month's time and what might take many dollars from the value of your piano should you place It upon the market. , Uy dropping me a postal at any tlmo I will call and inspect your piano, and will put It iu thorough repair as well as perfect tune. 4 GEO.
