The total eclipse of the sun that had been announced for last Thursday seems to have been intended for some other part of the .globe. ' Rev. D.

C Barney Halbur and August Drews of Hemingford are two of the district court jurors who favored The Herald office with a call while waiting for the court to convene Monday morning. Geo.

Mrs. Heywood, wife of the editor of the Crawford Courier, kindly furnished The Herald with a partial list of names of the Crawfordites who came down on the Stockmen's convention special last Thursday. Carl Shoop of Bushnell, III., a nephew of Mrs. Dr. Slagle, is visiting in Alliance this week. He has been visiting friends in Colorado and may decide to spend most of the summer in the west. Our railway correspondent was mis taken in mentioning in last week's issue the death of Jack Carey's sister. The young lady was seriously ill but was taken to her home in Canada and is now convalescing. We have the pleasure of adding the name of Gen. Supt. E. P. Bracken to The Heralds list of new subscribers, and also of receiving a very agreeable call from him in company with our friend G. L. Griggs. T. J. Minor, who has been with the Bennett people a couple of months under the management of W. C Eng lish, left the first of the week for Lead, S. D. to look after a carload of pianos sold from the Alliance store. Real Estate Broker Hut ton of Hem ingford was taking in this part of the county yesterday in his nutomobile when he had the misfortunc'to sustain a breakage to his car, and was tempor arily laid up for repairs at the Wheat-on-Ellis garage. W- S. Parks, one of Tho Herald's farmer friends living cast of Berca, called at our office Monday and in formed us that he finished planting last Saturday evening. Although the spring was late he is expecting a bump er crop this year. The younger generation had a merry dance last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C A. Newberry. If the youngsters' enjoyment can ho meas ured by the bursts of cheers and laughter that ran riot they surely had the time of their lives, Jos. A. Kime of Streator, III., has been looking after his land interests in this northwestern Nebraska, mid made The Herald office a call last Fridav. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the progrcFS this country is making and the present outlook. The enterprise of the Bennett com pany was displayed in getting out 2,000 copies of an exceptionally neat pro gram of the Stockmen's convention for gratuitous distribution. It was used as an aaverttsemeut ot tueir pianos and the entire expense was paid by this company. Guy Mart came from Iowa to Box Butte county last year and farmed six miles west of Hemingford.

M. Morris, who with Mrs. D. Moran went to Helena, Mont., a few weeks since on account of the ser ious illness of the former's daughtor, Mrs. Dan Crilley, returned Monday,. She reports Mrs. Crilley very much im proved in health. Mrs. Moran will re main in Helena for some time. George Behner came down from Hemingford yesterday on business and remained till today. He has a fine farm west of Hemingford, and com bines stock raising and glowing crops, which he finds very profitable and more satisfactory to him than to con fine himself to only one or the other. The Herald editor was in Heming ford recently, soon after Mrs. Belle Brown had taken charge of the hotel at that place. We were pleased to learn that under her management the hotel was receiving a liberal patronage and giving good satisfaction to the patrons. Chas. Daniels leaves today or to morrow momine for Marion, Ind., his old home, where he expects to take up his residence again. We regret to see him leave Nebraska, find opine that a few months of the dark atmosphere of the Hoosier state will be sufficient to send him back to this land of pure air and sunshine. Paul Thomas, the last of The Her aid editor's sons to arrive in Alliance, came in on No. 41 Tuesday morning from Omaha, where he completed the eighth grade in the city schools last week, preparatory to taking up high school work in Alliance the coining year.' He will help in The Herald office during vacation. Win, Elder works in the round house here but his home is on his ranch near Curley, where his wife and children take care of the cattle and look after other farm matters during his absence. He expects to go out to the .ranch in July to put up hay for about six weeks, when he will return to again take up work for the railroad. A heartless man has figured out that if all the energy expended by girls and women in chewing gum were concen trated in one pow'er house it would run all the machinery in the United States, A bright woman retorts that if all the wind wasted by men in sucking pipes and cigars were concentrated it would sail all the ships on the sea. Ferris Bros, is the name of the uew firm that will open a general merchan dise store this week in the building va cated by S. B. Libby, north of the Herald office. They have leased this building for a term of years, and are having it thoroughly overhauled and renovated before putting in their new stock of goods. They will we believe receive a liberal patronage. Gene Melady, well know to Nebras ka cattlemen, was one of the South Omaha callers at The Herald office last week. For ten years he was man ager of the Timet Bros, live stock com mission firm, but since the first of last month he has been a partner, the firm name now being Timet Bros. & Melady, By courteous treatment of their pa trons and close attention to business they have made a strong bid for busi ness from this part of the state, and are now further inviting the same by an ad which appears iti this issue of Tho Herald. S. B. Libby having closed out his stock of groceries, has retired from business. He and Mrs. Libby have many friends who would be pleased to sec them go into business hero again, should thoy see fit to do so- E. A. Kicker of Deadwood, general agent for South Dakota and a part of Wyoming of tho Equitable Life Insur ance Co., was in Alliance yesterday between trains and improved the time taking in the city iu company with J as B. Gray of Gray and Guthrie, who are gcueral agents for the same company for western Nebraska and a part of Wyoming. The second in the double series of sermons at the M. E. Church, will bo given next Sunday morning, subject will he, "The Church; Its Corner stone." 'In the evening the topic will be, "Heaven; Its Painlessness and Ac tivities." At the evening service a rcaditiK entitled, "The Power bf the Cross" will be rendered by Miss Mar jorie McCarthy. This will be well worth hearing; don't miss it. A letter received from Father Mc Namara states that he and his father arrived in Ireland safely. But this does not Bignify that Father McNam ara did not experience the ills of sea sickness, but on the contrary, he states that he had a bad attack of it and in plain English, threw up everything but his shoes. Mrs. W. J. Hamilton received a letter from her brother, Will, of the U. S. Commissary department at Omaha, of his appointment to a simi lar position iu the Philippine islands. This comes as an advancement of posi tion in the service and he and his wife will leave for Uncle Sam's faraway possession the first of August after a visit with relatives in Chadrou and this cjty. County Surveyor J. P. Hazard came down from Marslaud on 44 last Satur day to attend to some business before the U. S. laud office, and while here made The Herald office a combined social and business call, Mr. Hazard has a farm of 480 acres iu Laird pre cinct, and although a stock grower, devoting his attention outside of sur veying mostly to raising horses, he has planted ten acres of potatoes this year. Geo. Willoughuy is auotiier new subscriber to The Herald. He came with liis family from Madison county the fore part of March, and is located four miles south of Berea. Although this is his first year iu Box Butte coun ty he is growing considerable crop, in cluding ten acres of potatoes, fifty of oats and wheat and sixteen of corn, be sides milking a number of cows and selling butterfat to the Alliance cream ery. They like it splendidly iu this country. In our rush of work' last week we unintentionally failed to mention the visit to Alliance of R. H. Miller, G. M. of the I. O. O. F. of Nebraska. He arrived on Tuesday, the 15th irist. and that evening met with the local lodge and gave them instructions iu the work of the order. The next day Judge Zum, district deputy, introduced Mr. Miller around town, not forgetting to make a pleasant call at The Herald office. Mrs. Ed. Kinsley of Frankfort, S. Dak., was called back to Box Butte county by the death of her father, Win, Friel, an old and highly respected citizen whose demise occurred the 10th inst. at his late residence northeast of Hemingford. Six months, lacking five days, prior to Mr. Friel's death his vvite was called away, after which time he seemed to be not interested in the things of this world but looked forward to the time when he should meet his beloved companion again.
