r-f-lo ( wHimr -lit,. 1 v :a n ; I? P il V ii Watkins & Feagins' New Real Estate Office One o( tho most extensive and best furnished real estate offices in this part of the west is that of Watkins & Feagins' the real estate and live stock men, who occupy a suite of five rooms over Miller Brothers' china and ftirnl turo store on the cast side of Box Butte avenue. These gentlemen formerly had their office in tho Rumor block, as The Herald readers know, but after tho fire a couple of weeks ago they were without an office until they secured the above mentioned rooms. No pains or expense will bo spared to make their new offico as convenient for tho trans action of business as modern appliances and plenty of room can make it, be sides which its location and furnishings will bo such as to make it a popular nlacc for their many friends to while away a pleasant hour occasionally. Electric lights have been installed and they retain the same telephone num ber that they had in their former office, No. 312. Chase Feagins, son of the junior member of the firm, has been helping to arrange tho details of the new offico and get everything ready for business. However, he has plenty of other work and business to look after and has been morcly helping a little in this matter on the Bide. As a member of the Black foot Investment company of Blackfoot, Idaho, he has secured an immense amount of business during the last few months, much of it coming from Ne braska Since the first of last October this company has sold more than 4,000 acres of irrigated land, most of it being their own, although they do some real estate brokerage business. Another New Feature Another new and attractive depart ment has been added to the Herald this week. The American Press Asso ciation has prepared, and has in tho course of 'preparation, a series of illus trated articles on modern architecture, In the preparation of theso articles tho services of a number of the best archi tects of America have been employed, .which insure the reliability of the plans knd specifications. The estimate of cost may vary in different parts of tho country on account of differences in cost of material and labor. The Herald has secured the exclusive use for this part of Nebraska of theso timely articles, tho first of which we are publishing in this issue. People who build houses want them modern, not only in tho matter of conveniences, but also in appearance. Those who make use of the plans presented in the Herald can bo sure that they aro ac cording to the styles of buildings now being constructed in the Inrger cities. The one for this week is a cottage of bungalow style, similar in appearance to the residence of Roy Bcckwith re cently completed on Toluca avenue in Alliance. Next week we will present the plans for a two story residence of different style of architecture. If you contemplate building within the next year or two, we suggest that you preserve the copies of the Herald containing these articles. They will be valuable to you Wyoming Wedding On Sunday morning, April 25, 1909, at Upton, Wyo., Thomas N. Whitman of Buckhorn, Wyo, and Miss Annie Richard of Alliance, Nebr., were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, the pastor of the Newcastle, Wyo., Metho dist church tying the nuptial knot. The father of the bride, J. F. Richards of Alliance, and a sister, Miss Ollie Richards, were present The bride has resided in Alliance for a long while and has many friends here. The groom is a prosperous ranchman at Buckhorn, Wyo., 'where they will make their home. The Her ald offers congratulations and wishes them all the joy in married life that their fondest hopes have anticipated. A Coming Captain of Finance ' v ' Under the caption, "The Financial Captains of Tomorrow," Pearson's Magazine for May pays a glowing tri bute to a Nebraskan, Paul Morton, whose influence has be,en felt in re cent years in Wall Stre"et- Following is an extract from the article; Although the latest comer perhaps in the camps of the money captains, not one of the comlW Cabinet repre sents a larger po we than Paul Morton, or embodies in himself such distinctive qualities of leadership. Aside from the prestige of his otllctnl position as president of tho Kqullablo Life, ha is regarded as the Inheritor of much of the power of Thomas F. Rynn. In fact he is now Mr. Ryan's most trusted ndvlsor and lieutenant in all things, and to the fullest extent that Is possl bio without Interfering with his Equi table duties. Mr. Kyan is said to bo unloading 011 his wide shoulders tho responsibilities from which ho now seeks separation. There nro shrewd men In Wall Street who believe that within five years Paul Morton will rep resent a combination of capital that will mnku him one of the foremost fig ures in American finance. Though ho would bo the last to ad mit or even suggest it, Mr. Morton is given credit for having carried the light of publicity and fair dealing into New York's financial district and made it a torch by which others are finding their way back to forgotten paths. Born of the rich free soil of the West, he is a Westerner all over. Up to his advent into the big financial game the Westerners there were plungers. He brought constructive conservatism. Uo Is sparing of words, but with an Intellect set on hair trigger and a mind that knows neither fear nor fronzy. In brief, he supplies a balance that Wall Street needs, for no othor group of in telligent men in the world Is so sua ccptlblojto silly rumors and senseless fears. Boforo he had been In tho Equitable a week the word was puBsed around among his subordinates: "Don't take a case to tho now chief unless you know all about It, for he will keep on asking why' until he gets to tho bottom of It, and If you don't know tho last answer you will bo In a bad way." Sold Some Shoes The fire sale of shoes at the Alliance Shoe Store, advertised in The Herald last week and by means of bills printed at this office, opened Friday morning as had been announced. It looVed for a while as though just about everybody needed shoes. Within two days (Friday and Saturday) footwear to the amount of $1,350 was sold. That's going some, even for Alliance, the city that is becoming noted for doing busi ness on a large scale. There still remain many bargains in this fire sale and the time for the closing there of has been extended to Saturday night of this week. rwwvwwwv. Ladies' Auxiliary Organized A Ladies' Auxiliary circle of the Woodmen of the World was organized at Alliance on Tuesday evening ol this week by Mesdamcs Engstrom and Rosenberg of Kearney, state deputy organizers.

W. E. Spencer, Secy. Patented Pitman John A. Wilson, the inventor from Marple, Nebr., was in Alliance Monday on business pertaining to application for patent in Canada of bis newly in vented pitman, which has recently been patented in the United States. In some descriptive circulars, which The Herald has printed for Mr. Wilson, he claims that his invention is "an ad justable pitman that saves half the power, doubles the life of a machine, and saves a large percentage ol the breakage." We have uot examined the appliance sufficiently to express an opinion as to its utility, but we under stand that the International Harvester company and other implement manu facturers are trying to secure posses sion of the patent, which is a good in dication that it has merit.

The Equitublo is represented by Gray & Guthiic, who take great pride in the company and its competent president. L. J. Schill has purchased R. J. Main & Son's dairy and will take possession May ist.

Bresec of Rushville, former state senator from the Four teenth senatorial district, has been in Mexico investigating the investment propositions there that have been so extensively advertised m this country. He arrived in Alliance today on his re turn trip. He reports favorably on the climate of that country, but we haven't heard of him saying anything very flattering about it otherwise. Blue skies and balmy atmosphere are very nice but it takes something more to make a country a desirable place of residence. Peter Belgum, northwest of Alliance, was one of the many callers at The Herald office last Saturday. We made inquiry in regard to his experience in com growing in Box Butte county, and he informed us that his corn last year averaged twenty-eight bushels per acre, good, sound corn, and that his yield for the last six or seven years has not been less than twenty-five bushels per acre. When price of land, amount of work necessary to produce the crop, etc., are taken into consideration, this is more piofitable than corn grown farther east, where the price of land is higher and more work necessary to produce the crop. Annual Contest of N. H. S. D. U. Alliance is certainly fortunate in se curing the annual contest of the Ne braska High School Declamatory Union, which will be held here Friday evening of next week. There will be fourteen contestants. Next week's Herald will be issued the day preced ing the contest and will contain the complete program. Persons who have engaged tickets will receive them this week. These tickets may be exchanged for reserved seats at Holsten's after 5:00 p, m. on Tuesday, May 4th. Maud Mullor and Her "Maw" Maud Muller on a winter's night Sat reading by the lamp's dull light. She had a book upon her knee, O'er which she smiled carefully. She read of bargains to be had, Then told her mother and her dad. There were pretty pictures in the book, Ana now ana men her maw" would look; And Maud would call to "paw" and say: "We kin get these things if we send away. And maw she needs some shoes and gown . But course we can get 'em here in town; But they ain't so nice the people say As that they get from far away; Then, this book says, an' I guess its true, That merchants here they just job you." Now Maudie's "paw" had just sold some stock, And had ninety dollars in his sock. So Maud she wrote aod sent away For gown and shoes and bonnet gay. Two weeks later by fast freight, The goods came collect $2 98. When Maudie's "maw" tried on the dress, Her heart was surely in distress; It fit her like a gunny sack, And sagged and wrinkled in the back, The shoes they were a size to small She couldn't get them on at all; And Maudie's hat, it was a fright, And Maud she shed some tears that night. Next day she drove into the town, Called at the home of Merchant Brown And bought a drem and shoes for "maw," An overcoat lor tier uw And after viewing this and that, She got herseli a pretty hat. At home that nit; it around the fire, The Muller famil filled with ire; Looked at the liuoV iImi caused their woe, And soon it made ilu lire to glow; And Maud, she said: "No more I'll pen An order to mail-order men."
