-Avfe r NT V LOCAL PARAGRAPHS. Circle No. 2 of the M. E. Ladies' Aid entertained Circle No. t at the parsonage yesterday afternoon W. A. Coleman and Charles Lots piech came down from Hemingford to spend Sunday with their families. J. W. Carson, traveling salesman or the Bennett Piano company for the Dlack Hills made the Alliance head' quarters a visit yesterday. The genial Harry Kelly of the Inter national Harvester company's force at , Crawford came down to spend Sunday with his friends, of which he has a plenty in Alliance. A meeting, to which all interested parties are invited, will be held in the city hall on Friday evening of next week to complete arrangements for the proper observance of Decoration day. Mrs. J. T. VViker is now saleslady at the Bennett Piano company store and will have charge in the absence of Mr. English, the manager. She will soon have a stock of sheet music which she will sell on her own responsibility in connection with her other work. Chas. F. Taylor of Cody, Wyo., special representative of the Mexico International Land Co., of Kansas City, was trying this week to get Alliance people interested in an excursion to the laud of "greasers." We have not learned whether any decided to make the trip. Louis I. Heihnau of Kansas City, auditor of the Forest Lumber company, had business in Alliance this week in connection with the change in local managers. While here he patronized The Herald's job printing department to the extent of some business cards for himself, in which class of work our printers compare favorably to the best offices of the larger cities. Julius G- Kaiser of the south part of Sioux county was iu Alliance yesterday He has land near Hemingford and had been there to see about it. He reports that he has his seeding done, wheat, barley and oats, and that everything looks well in his neighborhood, eighteen miles north of Mitchell. The Herald will keep him informed about Alliance and Box Butte county the coming year. John Borky, who lives just over the state line, south of Ardmorc, is com pleting a very handy system of water works on his tarin. "The water is pumped from a well into a large ele vatcd tank, from which it is piped to his buildings, and also to a garden. Mr. Borky has lettuce up and looking nice and green the first of the week. Ardmorc American. Mr. Fred Healy, of the firm of Healy & Lange, wholesale dealers iu fruit, with offices in Omaha, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Mitchell aud other points, arrived in Alliance Saturday morning. Mr. Healy was here in the interest of the Hawaiian Pine Apple Company of Honolulu. He was entertained at the home of Miss Sedwick, Sunday, departing on No. 43, Monday, for Crawford and other northwestern points. We are pleased to note that W. C. English, manager of the Bennett Piano company for western Nebraska, Wyo ming and the Black Hills in South Da kota, has removed to Alliance and is now domiciled at 614 Big Horn Ave., with his family, consisting of wife and two children, a girl and a boy. Miss Ruth Ohlson, a trained nurse, makes her home with them- In behalf of the good people of this city The Herald extends a cordial welcome. James Taylor and wife of Cozad, Nebr., arrived in Alliance yesterday morning, and will make their home either in this city or near here. They wish to secure a claim in this par,t of the state if they can do so, which we think will be a pretty hard proposition unless they can find some one who will relinquish m their favor. Free govern ment laud is a thing of the past in Nebraska, except back iu the sand hills, and it pays better to buy good land at present price3 than to get sand hills free. The Western Office Supply company of Alliance, report a flourishing busi ness in typewriters. Some of their recent typewriter customers are: B- F, Gilnian, Horace Bogue, Claude McDonald, S. C. Reck, W. W. Norton, W. S. Ridgell, Watkius & Feagins, T J. Threlkeld, Nebraska Land company and several others. The fact that such a large number ol machines are being sold in Alliance, to say nothing of the business secured from neighboring territory, speaks well for the energy and perseverance of the young men composing this enterprising company. They believe in patronizing home trade and work on the principle that others will do right in doing the same. They carry a complete line of office supplies, Holsten's Popubr joda Fountain. HLLv JUL wv'MXroWrMraHB9 Above we give a photograph of "Joe" at Holsten's large silver soda fountain. Joe is the leading artist in his line mixing drinks, (we mean soft drinks of course,) in Alliance. He has been at this line of work for nine years and has the distinction of being one of the very few who make the fountains pay both winter aud summer. He has worked in four different large fountains as foreman and had charge of the largest fountain west of Chicago for three years. If you haven't .tasted one ol Joe's specials you have missed a treat- Part from typewriters, filing devices, loose leaf ledgers, etc., to office and house safes. Miss Inice McCorklo visited over Sunday with friends at Scottsbluffs, returning to Alliance Tuesday. Babe Moran was called to Falls City yesterday to attend the funeral of his grandfather, notice of whose death he received by wire. The ladies of the M. E. Aid society have a "sample sale" at Mnllery's store Saturday afternoon that will interest you. See bills for particulars. The 18 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 'Brciinati is seriously ill with brain fever. For a time the little one's life was despaired 0 but the last news we have is that there is hopes of his recovery. James Pearson, a grain man of Ray mond, Nebr., was in Alliance the first of the week-, prospecting-with a view to putting in an elevator here. We un derstand that he decided to defer the matter for awhile. Alloyah Chapter No. 185, Order of Eastern Star, will be represented at the Grand Chapter of the state, which convenes in Lincoln May 4th, 5th and 6th, by Mrs. Eva M. Tash, as delegate, and Mrs. Anna J. Davis, P. W. M. The Misses Anna and Ollie Richards left on 41 today for Newcastle, where they will take the stage for Buckhorn Valley, forty miles distant, at which place their brother, John L. Richards, owns and op erates a ranch. They will be missed by their friends in Alliance, but more par ticularly by their father, J, F. Richards, who is carpenter foreman at the Burling ton shops. Congressman J, P. Connor of Deni son, Iowa, was in Alliance Sunday aud Monday of this week and while here leased his ranch, consisting in the neighborhood of 7,500 acres, to J. S. Hull of Dunlap, Iowa. Mr. Hull ex pects to run about 700 cattle on the land- Mr- Hull is an extensive cattle grower, having a large ranch near Gor don, Nebr. Morrill County Coming to the Front E. II. Fanner, the rustling real es tate broker of Bridgeport, is one of the live ones that recognize the value of printers' ink judiciously used. He re cently ordered a lot of fine, large bills from the Herald job office and is hav iug the same run also as a full page ad in this issue- We are informed that he has lately made a number of large real estate deals. He is on the road that leads to a good many more of them before the end of the year. See his ad on third page- Cut flowers every Gadsby Store. Saturday at The Bringing In the Business J. C. McCorkle returned the fere part of the week from a trip to the central and eastern parts of the state, Madison, Columbus and York being some of the towns visited. He. was accompanied on his return by a gentle man from Burwell, Nebr., and one from Corning, Iowa, who are prospect ive purchasers of some of Box Butte county's good soil. o mi evening spent taking an "Orfgi mil Chop Suey" will make you imagine that you are an Oriental: or a "Fruit Salad Sunday" that makes you think of California at fruit time; or a "Log Cabin Sundae" that will bring you icmembrances of boyhood days; and then after you "have rested you can have a "Midnight in Egypt," a "Coney Island Phosphate" or somcthiu' else that's just different. J 00 says that he's a goiu to seat sixty folks now and it certainly will be a treat for you to see him a mixin' them drinks, never spillin' a drop and he knows how to mix 350 different kinds, too. Barber's Accidental Discovery This is not an advertisement, al though the above heading may give it the appearance of one. From the Loveland (Colo.) Daily Herald of the 1 19th inst., we learn that, after all these j long years of weary waiting by those iUi us wiiufu iuic nuvu nuu uu iiisui- ficiency of nature's covering, a barber, one Doc Copcland by name, by the merest accident discovered what we have been vainly trying to find, a de coction or concoction that would make two hairs grow where but one grew before. The Herald editors are pro spective purchasers of some of the dope. Here is the article from the Loveland Herald: From recent reports from Alliance, Nebr., it looks as though Doc Copcland was in a fair way to become a million aire. That is, if the soap weed holds out and a few other trifles are ovor come. For Doc has manufactured a hair renetver and scalp tonie that, it Is said, will revolutionize the world; the bald-headed part of it, nny way. According to The Herald's Inform nut, Doc went out hunting about a month ago mid with home friends camped by the bide of a blugglsh stt earn, along the banks of which grew a peculiar weed that tainted the water. Now, Doc washes when he Is on a camping trip just the same as he docs at home, and he used the creek for a wash hasln, bcruhblng his head regu larly every morning. The result was that within a week hundreds of tinj' hairs began to sprout on the dome of Doe's erstwhile shining "think-tank." As boon as he discovered that gludsome fact ho immediately packed up and went In search of the weed that tainted the water that brought about such a satisfactory con dition to his head. At last reports he was bottling enough hair ronewer to supply tho world and big things are expected from him soon. Meanwhile we await breathlessly a report from himself.

Box Supper and Debate A debate between representatives of school districts Nos. 0 and 10, at the Carpenter church, fourteen miles west of Alliance, last Friday night, was well attended and was certainly a success, T. V. Kelly and Miss Sylvia Hagaman are the teachers of the two schools, the former being teacher of what Is known as the Sherlock school and tho latter us the Hagaman school. Miss Uaga man's school had prepared a short program, consisting of songs and reci tations, after the rendering of which tho following question was discussed: "Re&olved, that city life is preferable to country life.' The debaters were: uflllrmative, Frank Ramsdell, William Hill, Thomas Gilbhannon and John Sherlock; negative, Fred Marsh, Ray Reddish, Shirley Hagaman and Clyde Colcer. Both bides did well. Tho de cision of the judges was In favor of the 11 (Urinative. It will be remembered that two weekb ago Dlst. No. 0 defeated Dist. No, 10 in a spelling contest. They were not satisfied with this defeat, however, and at once challenged their victors for a debate Now they feel better and think that their hard work in preparing themselves to meet their opponents, who were a close second, was not lost. After tho debate the baskets were sold, tho net proceeds amounting to 820.00, being given to the church. These entertainments, debates aud spelling contests are certainly a great help to the children aud It is to the energetic teachers, Miss Sylvia Haga man and T. V. Kelly, that their suc cess is due. These schools have plan ned to meet at the school house in Dist. No. 9 for a picnic dinner and afternoon program for the closing day of the term. It is hoped that as many of the patrons und friends will attend as is possible, Nebraska State Teachers' Association The Herald Is in receipt of u com munication from l'rof. A, L. Cavlness of Falrbury, president of the Nebraska State Teachers' Association, calling at tention to the next meeting to be held In Lincoln November 3, 4, 5, 1900. He assures us that school boards quite generally throughout the state are giv ing their cordial support by voting to allow their teachers a vacation, on full pay, on the above dates in order that they may attend the meeting. Speaking of the association he says; "It is a voluntary organization of teachers and others interested in edu cation. It never meddles iu politics nor does it promise its members assis tance in finding employment or secur ing increased salary. School Department ' SUPERINTENDENT, EDITOR "It stands for Improved methods and better school facilities, and Its highest idonl Iu unselfish, devoted service to the futnro citizen. Surely tho wide awake, progressive teacher who sacri fices membership fee, railroad faro and hotel hili ought to receive regular pay for the two days spent In attending Its meetings. "For the past forty years this asso ciation hns advocated in advance every good feature of our present school laws and has used Its whole influence to muko them effective. It has brought tho men and women engaged In school work In closer touch, inspired them with common ideals and aroused a high professional pride In a calling In which tho great majority continue hut a short time, "For the meeting next November the Executive Committee promises tho best program in tho history of tho association and thu indications point to nn unprecedented attendance.
