Jordon, well known to Al liance people, now pastor of the Meth odist church of Bayard, was shaking hands with friends in this city since the last issue of The Herald. lud Laravae of the Alliance Shoe Store was called to Kansas City Wed nesday morning by the serious illness of his father upon whom an operation is to be performed this week. Perhaps by next week we will be able to give our readers some definite in formation in regard to C. A. Newberry's proposed wholesale building that will probably be erected this summer. Work has been commenced on the construction of I- W. Herman's new meat market building. He had plan ned to put up a one story building but has decided to make it two story instead. Miss Nora Wilson of Crawford is visiting Engineer Will Miller. She will remain here till Saturday when she will go to Broken Bow to spend the summer. Mrs. M. S Jameson, mother of Mrs. A. S. Reed, returned Wednesday morning from York, where she has been visiting for several months past with her daughter, Mrs. A. O. Wyman. Louis Bucchscnstcin and Tom Lunn who represented the Alliance A.

For the information of our man readers in other "putts of the countn we will say that spring was late in coming this year, but she is here ttt last with plenty of rain to start crops out in fine condition. Little Heleil had been very noisy all day long. Her papa told her to stand in the corner to punish her. After crying a while she very indignantly said, 'l do wish papa had never mar ried into this family." Delineator. J. C. McCorkle took in the wrestling match at Broken Bow last Friday night. He reports that Farmer Burns threw the Chicago man twice in suc cession. It took about twenty minutes each time to put his opponent to the mat. The Payne Investment Co., of Oma ha ran another special train out over the Guernsey line yesterday. They are doing an immense business in irri gated land and without doubt are doing much towards the development of the North Platte valley. F. L. Thompson, who recently ar rived from Cheyenne, Wyo., takes J. B. Fletcher's place as salesman at the Alliance Grocery store. He and his wife will keep housein rooms which they have engaged at the Hotel Char ters. The Royal Highlanders are antici pating a splendid time at their hall this evening- A supper is to be given to the members which will be followed by a dance open to the public. We regret that this issue of The Herald is not published early enough to give a better notice of this event. A large building is not always ne cessary for a flourishing business. M. D. Nichols, the shoemaker, whose ad appears in The Herald, has rather small quarters just north of The Her ald office but turns out a large amount of work for his well satisfied customers Max Zimmerman of St. Paul, Minn., was in Alliance the first of the week presenting to our business men a scheme for getting up a monthly mar ket day. He met with considerable encouragement here but on the advice of some of the leading business men decided to defer the matter until later in the season. J. B. Fletcher, who for some time past has held a position as clerk with the Alliance Grocery company, left Sunday for Missouri Valley, Iowa, where he has a similar position in a store at a good salary. Mrs. Fletcher left on the same day for a visit at Chadron, after which she will join her husband in their new home W. M. Welch, a ranchman living three miles north of Bingham but who was a resident of Box Butte county in his eailier days and who is well known in Alliance, and R. R. Kiucaid, a mer chant of Bingham, were in Alliance the first part of the week and favored The Herald office with a call during the time of the rain Tuesday afternoon. R. M. Hampton, the banker and ranchman, returned the first of the week from the ranch where he had been spending several days. The old adage about having too many irons in the fire and having some of them burn does not seem to apply to R. M. He is not only a successful banker but is also one of the leading ranchmen of Nebraska. "The way to do a thing is to do it," and the fact that Alliance people have the happy faculty of doing things when undertaken is shown in the mat ter of the state declamatory contest which was held here. It was reported at a meeting of the Commercial Club one Monday evening a few weeks prior to the coutest that a guarantee of $150 for expenses would be necessary to se cure its location here, but that the amount would probably be raised through the sale of .tickets. The club immediately got back of the proposi tion with a guarantee, but by 10 o'clock the next forenoon the amount bad been fully raised by the high school students selling tickets, Mr. and Mrs. C K. Schcllak have gone to housekeeping in Mrs. Fielding's house on Box Butto avenue. Wc regret to learn that A. L. Hnrri son, proprietor of the Golden Rod bottling works, finds it necessary to go to a lower altitude on account of ill health. He and Mrs. Harrison will leave Saturday for York. Some of the Alliance young men gave a dance in the Phclan opera house last evening in honor of Miss Haggcrty, a mention oi whose return is. made in another column. About fifteen or twenty couples were present and a right good time is reported C. G. Parks, western manager of the Cranccr Piano Co., of Lincoln, has been in Alliance during the past week looking after business of the company which he represents. Mrs. Ida M. Rots is local manager for this place and wo arc pleased to noto that thev ate doing an extensive busiucss in this pait of Nebraska. The Herald job printing department has just turned out some up-to-date stationery for James Keelcr, the up-to-date automobile man. He has the agency for two of the best known and most extensively used cars that are manufactured, the Rco and Buick. He is also running a garage with modern conveniences and wc arc pleased to note that he is receiving a liberal patronage. L. M. E. Anderson, lormerly of Harlan, Iowa, bought a half section of land in township 27, range 49 of L. Hubbell, last mouth. Tlio land which he purchased lies between the farms of Joe Sheldon and Mr. Kettlctnan He informs us that there is a flowing well on his laud which ho considers very valuable. Mr. Anderson and his wife and twelve year old daughter have tak en up their residence in Alliance. Emil L. Hoen, traveling attorney for the Bankers' Surety Co., of Cleve land, represented here by Gray & Guthrie, was looking after the inter ests of the company in Alliance yester day and in company with J. B. Gray made this office a call. Mr. Hoen in forms us that his company is doing an extensive busiucss in the territory represented by Gray & Guthrie and that he is highly pleased with our city. Pete Watson, the old timer with whom so many of our readers are ac quainted, has been requested to par ticipate in the celebration that will be given here June 16 to 18 on the occa sion of the stockmen's convention. There is alway something doing when Pete has a hand in the matter and without doubt his part in the affair will add much to the interest. He made The Heaald office a pleasant visit while in the city a few days ago. The building occupied by J. P. Col burn's dry goods and clothing store was sold last Saturday by the execu tors of the estate oi Ed. Barry, deceas ed, to W. C. Mounts for a considera tion of $4,235.00, We understand that the Mounts and Vinsel barber shop will be moved into this building soon which will certainly be an excel lent location for them. Mr. Colburn will continue in the dry goods business but hat not fully decided yet as to another location. W. C. English, manager of the Ben nett Piano Co., for northwest Nebras ka and southwest South Dakota, went to Crawford Wednesday to close up some sales. He had good prospects of several of them. Mrs. Wiker, who has charge of the store here in his absence, informs us that Mr. English recently sold seventeen pianos within one week at Sturgis, S. D. This will be pleasing news to persons who are interested in the future of Alliance as a jobbing point. Word was received here the first of the week of the serious illness of Mrs. Danny Crilley at Helena, Mont., it be ing reported by wire that she was not expected to recover. Her mother, Mrs. W. M. Morris, and Mr. Crilley's aunt, Mrs. Moran, left on No. 41 Mon day for Helena. About noon that day Mrs. John Wiker received a telegram informing her that there had been a tuin for the better in Mrs. Crilley's condition and the physician thought she was out of danger. We notice that a number of Alliance ites have purchased automobiles . re cently and understand that there are others who contemplate doing so in the near future. By the way, what's the matter with patronizing home indus tries in buying an automobile as well as in other business? This city has dealers who handle some of the best machines that are manufactured and can make as good prices on them as dealers in other cities. It seems to us it would encourage enterprising men to handle this class of business if they were given all the trade that would properly come to them. Dr. Curtis, the veterinarian, has been having more calls for his services this spring than he could fill without help and has found it necessary to cm ploy an assistant for a time. Last week ho was doing work for stockmen about 25 or 30 miles southeast of Alli ance but received a telephone call on Saturday informing him of sickness in his family and consequently returned to the city to bo home over Sunday. He left Tuesday morning to take up his work again iu the neighborhood of C. C. Mulloy's. He is expecting his new motor cycle sooti. When it ar rives it will bo a great help to him in attending to his largo and trowing veterinary practice. Getting Ready For Coal War. MithracHo Operators PUo Black Diamonds Mountain High h Anticipation of Any Situations YVhtch May Ariso from Difficulty With Employees. THE arbitration agreement be tween the nnthraclte conl min ers and the operators, signed nftcr the strike In tlio anthra cite region In 1000, will expire ou Mnrch .11. There Is much Interest In the question of wbnt tho conditions will be which will exist nt that time. Tho region linn already begun to fool the ngltntlon of the miners for n new agreement moro fnvornble to them, and business Is slackening through concern over the possibility of a Htrlke. That tho conl roads do not mean to be caught napping la Indicated In the an nouncement from Philadelphia that moro thnn 10,000,000 tons of coal hnve been stored by them. The Philadelphia and Heading Coal company Is prepar ing for any struggle with mine labor ers that may onsuo by piling up In It yards near Norrlatown, Pa., millions of tons of the black fuel. Ar the nn thraclte miners who belong to tho United Mine Workera seem determined upon gaining further concessions from their employers and President liner of the Heading load, lender of the corpora tion forces controlling tho anthracite mining Industry, bus not experienced any change of views In regard to labor organization, which he has always bit terly opposed, the prospect of a dead lock and cessation of work fs not alto gether remote. At any rate, orders have been given to store nil the conl possible In readiness for any nctlon the miners may take, and tho moun tains of fuel that are arising In various centers of tho Industry nro visible evi dence that the employers mean to be well stocked with ammunition In case of a struggle with their employees. In order to avoid as far as possible strikes or disagreements between tho PRESIDENT HAEU AND TIIE COAI, MOUN TAINS NIMH NOIIUISTOWN. miners and tho operators, business men of the coal mining regous of Pennsylvania are expressing them selves lu favor of a three years' agree ment with the miners. This will be the most Important topic fqr the com ing conference between the coal min ers and the operators of the anthracite section of the state. Hitherto it has been tho custom to draw up this agree ment for one year. The boards of trade throughout the anthracite regions have adopted reso lutions In favor of the long agreement. The merchants argue that a one year's agreement disturbs business at the first of eery year. Normal conditions, therefore, are not reached until about May 1. FIvo months of uncertain business every year, they bay. Is Just n little bit too much. Tho mliiers, on the other hand, de cluro that a one year's agreement was formulated In tho recent miners' con vention for the best Interests of tho underground workers. They also de clare that nt the coming conference between the miners and tho operators thoy will Insist that this clause be in serted lu the contract which will bo drawn up betweeu them. The union miners aro asking that their union shall ninko an agreement with their employers nnd that tho em ployers shall be the collecting agents for the union dues. Other requests on the part of tho men aro liable to lead to disagreement. So far tho operators are standing pat, abiding by the last arbitration order and not promising more than It made Incumbent upon thpm ! y 1 HEfllNGFORD HERALD.
