The contest last Friday night of the Nebraska High School Declamatory Union was a great event. For the first time we believe in the history of north western Nebraska has this part of the state been recognized with anything like a state convention. Not only is tho recognition that was given to this city very gratifying to our people but the unsurpassed success of the affair has caused much rejoicing here. The affair was a success from every view point. A little comparison with the contest of a year ago may not be out of .place. The receipts from the contest after paying tho expenses of the execu tive committee go towards the expenses of the contestants. The annual con test last year was held at Norfolk. The door teceipts at that time amounted to $86.50; after the expenses of the execu tive committee were paid there was little or nothing left to apply on the contestant's expenses, The receipts this year were $235 90, which not only HENKV KKAJECI-K coveted the expenses of the executive committee but also paid the contest ants' expenses in full, or nearly. In addition to this the business mem of Alliance paid all hotel bills of Visitors accompanjirig contestants and the people of the city opeuod their homes to all contestants and other visitors. To say that our visjtois were delighted with the reception received here and thetreatmetit accorded them is ex pressing it mildiv. The reception at the high school gymnasium from four to stx o'clock Friday afternoon was attended by hundreds of people. The gymnasium was oeautuuiiy uecorateu ana tue spir-1 it of cordiality showu made the occa sion one long to be remembeied. Prof. ' Hayes remarked to The Herald re ! porter, "Yon need not be atraid to say that all thoroughly enjoyed the re ception." When it was proposed to hold this contest at Alliance some in tho eastern part of the state objected on the ground that this was so far away', and yet this contest was the best attended by visi tors ftotn a distance as well as by the home people of any contest in many years, probably more than any coutest in the history of the Declamatory Union. The visiting members of the executive committee and the visitors accompanying contestants speak in highest terms of the liberality and courtesy extended by the' people of Alliance. The president for the ensuing year, Supt. Wilson Tout, in expressing H if -S3B Nebraska H. S. D. U. ItAl'HS. himself for next year's executive com mittee said that their only regrets were that Alliance had set such a pace in liberality it would make it difficult ior any other town where tho contest may be held jn the future to come up to tho high standard set. , Supt. J, L. Cahill of Oakdale said: "I can say frankly that it was ona of the best contests I have ever attended. The entertainment was all that any of us could expect- "Your people have certainly done much to make the con test a success." Supt. C. E. Ward of Neligh: "This is my first visit to Alliance. We peo ple from the cast appreciate this trip very much and tho courtesy shown by the citizens of the town. The contest was a complete success. I do not see what more your people could have done to make it better." Supt. J. H. Welch of the Stanton schools on Saturday addressed the following note to Prof. Hayes: "Dear Mr. Hayes: I wish to express my ap preciation of the successful conduct of tho state contest and of the loyal man' ucr in which the town of Alliance sup ported this affair. My visit to Alliance has impressed me especially with the enthusiasm whjch your people have shown in the contest. The executive committee of lhof Union certainly made a good selection when they decided to hold the state contest at Alliance, Sincerely, J. H. Welch." The program for the contest was published in The Herald of last week but the names were purposely withheld until after the contest. Following are the names of those participating: Oratorical division Robert Beatty, Brady; Ned Irwin, Madison; Henry Kruccek, Alliance; Ivan Mitchell, Ar lington; Walter Raucrt, Grand Island. Dramatic division Edna Adams, Shel ton; Kay Chilcoat, Stanton; Marie Douulabs, Plattsmoulh; Helen Edge combe, Geneva; Agatha Gregg, Alliance. Humorous, division Get aid H. Berk, Gibbon; Dana Cole, Neligh; Geraldine Kemp, Blair; Bculah Smith, Alliance; Geitrude Stacy, Ord. The prizes, consisting of beautiful medals, were awarded as follows: MISS IIKULAH SMITH. Oratorical division First prize, Ned Irwin; second prize, Walter Rauret. Dramatic division First prize, Miss Agatha Gregg; second prize, Miss Marie Douglass. Humorous division First prize, Dana Cole; second prize, Miss Gertrude Stacy. It is to be' expected that in a contest of this kind, participated in by such a V twJHwJ & ,dfiKT Li " 11 Mi 'if 1 Ml F.

Betttltobn large number of contestants, not all of tho audience would be entirely satis fied with tho verdict of the judges, but in this contest wo may say there was little or no dissatisfaction as far as we could learn except in tho awarding of one of the second prizes. While the contest, as a whole, waB very good in deed tljero were two at least who are wotthy of special mention, namely, XUSS AfiATHA GRRGG. "The Convict's Soliloquy," rendered by Miss Agatha Gregg in the dramatic division, and "How Ruby Played," by Dana Cole in the humorous division. Tho winner of second prize in the dramatic also displayed thorough pre paration but it was thought by many that her selection would have been more appropriate for one of the other divisions than the dramatic We are informed that in making up their decision f i om thoir markings the judges found that they were unanimous in their verdict on tho winner of first prize in tho dramatic and humoroui di visions. After tho contest the members of tho Declamatory Union mot with the ex ecutive committee in the parlor of the Hotel Drake, where the financial mat ters wore hettled, bills allowed and the following officers for next year elected: President, Supt. Wilson Tout of Noith Platte; Vice President, R. V. Clark of Harvard; Secretary and Treasurer, Supt. II. II. II aim of Blair. While due credit should be giveu to all who had anything to do with mak ing the contest such a remarkable suc cess we deem it proper to make special inention of the work of Supt. Hayes. It was through his efforts as a member of the former executive committee and president of the Union that Alliance succeeded in securing the location of the contest here, and it was owing laigely to his work that the coutest was so successful. We take pleasure in printing in this issue of The Herald photogravures of Prof. Hayes, the three Alliance high school students, who represented the northwest Nebraska district in the contest, and also of the other contest ants who won first prizes, The Alliance high school represented this district by three contestants, one in each class. This is something that has never before been known in the history of the Declamatory Union. Another thing we wish to mention is in regard to the Alliance representative in the humorous division, Miss Beulah Smith. A short time before the con test she caught a severe cold and it was almost impossible for her to take -pyj?r.''2pj F. W. HARRIS, Cashier. S. FICKELL, Asst. Cash. S667 - her part in the contest at all, and yet she came very near winning tho second prize in that division, one of tho judges deciding in her favor. Wo are making no complaint whatever becauso sho was not awarded second prize, but wo are sure that if she had not been ill she would easily have won it. ---Vi'VV. Air Dome for Alliance Work was commenced Monday morning on Burroughs & Scbellak'snew air dome between the Horace Bogue and tho Beo l(ive stores. These two brick buildings, 50 feet apart, will furnish the sides, while a metal front 15 feet high will enclose it from tho street on the north sldo. Tho dimensions of tho auditorium will' bo 50 by 50 feet, exclusive of the stago which will bo on the south side and in addition to (his space. It will have a snatinR ca pacity double that of the opera house and will probably be a great convenience at the lime of the stockmen's convention In June and for other similar occasions dur ing the summer. It will have a canvass cover, something that air domes do not always have. It will be finished as''sobn'"fv as possible, probably about the first of Doxt week. The new air dome will be run on the same high class performance as was al ways given at the Crystal theatre. Mr Burroughs has had experience in this line of business and Mr. Schellak has been connected with several large air domes in southern Missouri and Kansas. The air dome will offer during the summer some ideas and performances that will undoubt edly surprise the theatre going public of ' Alliance. These gentlemen have shown the people of Alliance a meritorious per- formance and will continue to do so in their new location. - , Refrigerating Plant I. W. Herman has contracted with ' the C. W. Kettering Mercantile Co. of Denvor for tho refrigerating plant for his new building which is now under course of construction. His contract requires that tho plant bo ready for use by July first. Since 'making out this contract, however, it has been altered by mutual consent to include also'a second box 10X10x9 feet. The cost of tho refrigerating plant will be $2,039,00 not including the motor or the box ioxiG ft. already on hand. This will give the Palace mar ket the best refrigerating plant in this part of the state and insures satisfac tory service. We are always delighted with a pros pect for securing new industries for Alliance or Box Butte comity and con sequently arepleased to inform our readers that there is a fair prospect of getting a branch of the Plumfield nur series of Fremont, Nebr. D. M. Gor man, who has recently- delivered stock here, informed the editor that they wished to put in a branch in this part of the west and that Alliance would probably be the location selected. Owing to its excellent railroad facilities and tho rapid development of tho sur rounding . country this city certainly would make a splendid location for such au institution. Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Pierce, Mr and Mrs, Alex Muirhead, Miss Emma Ne: rud, Miss Bertha Parkyn and Miss Mamie Miller were some of the Hem ingfordites who engaged seats in ad vance for the contest laBt Friday even ing.
