Subject to the pri mary to be helJ August 17th, 1900. 1 Your support appreciated, Thomas 13, SmiEwsnuuv. Wait for the fair. Boost it tho Box Butte county fair. Better fanning in this country, that is, improvement in methods and thor oughness, will pay well, oven though it may bo necessary to faun less. Begin getting ready for tho Box Butto county fair. There is plenty of time to make it the biggest and best ever held in western Nebraska, but no time should be wasted. Prcpaic for it, The Herald should havo previously acknowledged a call from Stato Sen ator Buck dfTJtoo county who wus in Alliance a few weeks since and visited our oflico in companv with piuf. Hunt. Mr. Bunk is a banker at Berlin utui is quite popular with his tiptghhurs, His popularity is shown I'm- in ulccttan as a democrat hi a republican diMtic. "Another disastrous rain fell during tho night, accompanied by a heavy wind that damaged the wheat beyond recovery," say tho press dispatches of July 5, from Beatrice, Ncbr. Farmere in that part of the state who are hav ing such n hard time on account of the floods had better coma 'to Box Butte county where there is plenty of rain to grow crops, but hoik .h t r-e ' i; astrous." We want to sco more farming iu this country in order to further its develop ment, but just at present better farm ing is of greater importance to the per manent development than more of it. It has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that crops adapted to our soil and climate, properly planted and cultivated, will produce abundant crops every year. When there is a failure, or partial failure, it is due to lack of adaption or else wrong methods or neglect in fanning. After all that has been said and written about the iniquities of tho pending tariff bill, and tho efforts that liavo been made, and are being made, by democratic and "insurgent" repub lican senators to improve it, the fact remains that tho real test as to who is .011 the side of the people, tho common herd, and who on the side of the trusts, ?the tavored few, will come when the bill is put on its passage. Hot nir and ibuncome aro cheap, but wait for tho jshow down if you want to know who mean it and who do not. The Battle of York ( From Columbus, Neur. Telegram.) In the years ahead history will record the battle of York as one of the landmarks in the fight for prohibition in Nebraska. At the call of the leaders of the factions 'there will be a great assembling of the Nebraska anti-saloon advocates at York next week. And there are factions in the prohibition ranks, just as in the old politi cal parties. One faction is led by the un compromising prohibitionists, who believe the only way to fight is out in the open, declaring always open hospitality to every thing in the nature of booze. Another 'action believes in leading up to the de red end gradually, making the question licent or.no license an issue in the lo ll elections in every city and town. Still (other faction wanjs to follow in the wake f t the workers in tile eastern states by aking county option the paramount is e All these factions s.ill meet in York next weak in an effort to unite upon a common plan for the campaign in Nebraska. It will be a warm convention, and the strug gle between tho factions will be strenuous. The concensus of opinion is that the coun ty option advocates will win the Tight, and that county option wl be. Jho watchword in Nebraska in the campaign for the elec tion of the next legislature. The Telegram is Inclined to the belief that if the York meeting shall declare in favor of county option the plan will be accepted by the republican party in Ne braska, and we are not so sure that it would not receive endorsement of tho dem ocrats also. Many men who are strongly opposed to state prohibition are open ad vocates of county option. It is to us a queer line of reasoning by which men reach a deslro to drive liquor out of a county, and still refuse to take part in driving it out of a state, but the fact re mains that there aro many who favor county option just as viciously as they oppose stato prohibition. It is settled this far in advance that the campaign in Nebraska next year will be for the election of a legislature committed to cither state prohibition or county option. In our judgement the county opttonists are about strong enough to elect a legisla tive majority, but if the fight shall be mado for a legislature which will enact state prohibition, we believe the fight will be a failure. Wo shall watch the York meeting with interest. Participating in that meeting will bo many men of many minds, and it would appear impossible that all should unite upon a common programme. Hut tho impossible may happen, and if it does if all tho anti-liquor elements in the state can unite upon a common program, then there is every reason to believe thu united elements can elect a legislature to their liking. Those of us who do not espouse the cause of prohibition must not underesti mate the meaning of that meeting at York. There will be some strong men there. On the platform will be men whose voices have not before been heard in advocacy of either county option or prohibition in Ne braska. Some of the smoothest political workers will be there men who have hold and who still hold good place in tho republican and democratic ranks, and who stand ready to do their part to deliv er their party followers to the support of whatever programme may be adopted at York. The York meeting will bo a landmark on the political highway in Nebraska. Only One Dowie If John Alexander Dowie's disembodied spirit can keep tab .upon what transpires hero on earth since ho departed therefrom, it must bo chuckling over the fact that his successor and formercnemy, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, has hit the bricks as the dictator and ruler in Zion For Voliva has been sacrificed to the restless spirit of reform that has fo'lowed the passing of Dowie in the sacred city Blunt spokesmen might put it that Voliva has been bounced as ecclesiastical despot. His followers have attached the can to him, and he has fallen from the throne. ine siern 01a eiders, who clung to Dowie in his day of glorification, and have clung to Voliva ever since, watched the latter s dethronement with tears and lam entations. It filled their hearts with anguish and their bearded faces with grimaces of woe. There is no reason to believe that there will never be a worthy successor to Dowie. Ho expressed in an inexplicable degree the faculty of power to inspire his follow ers with a sense of his assumed divine superiority at the same time that he wheeded them out of their money with which to enrich himself. There is a lesson in the lives of such men as Dowie. It is that a large propor tion of the people crave a leader, and that as soon as one can be found with an un usual theory or cult to exploit, and a suffi cient semblance of earnestness and ve hemence in asserting it, they will give up wieir an 10 loilow him. The woild despis es commonplaces. It discredits and de spises the normal. But the mental mon strosity can readily commend the fear of a large class and lead it into a bondage as absolute as human slavery over was. Elder Witzig is now the prophet of Zion but he has not the fanatic fervor nor the audacity of Dowie, aud it is therefore expected that he will soon follow in tho descending footsteps of Voliva, the for saken ruler. Lincoln Star. Attends Annual Convention of National Educational Association Supt. D. W. Hayes returned today noon from Denver, where he went last Saturday to attend the annual conven tion of the National Educational asso ciation. He reports an excellent meet ing. On Weduesday evening the heads of Nebraska educational institu tions gave a reception to Nebraska teachers, including ex-Nebraska teach ers, several huudred being present. There were 300 or 400 Nebraska teach ers in attendance at the convention, probably the largest number from any one state.

All kinds of roads look alike to Dr. Curtis on bis new motorcycle. The only trouble he has had with the thing has been to get it to go slow enough. T. S. Martin, receiving word that his father was quite ill at St. Joe, took the train Sunday night for that city. He will probably return the last of this week. Tho Jackson car which F. J. Betzold has been advertising in Tho Herald to exchange for laud has been traded to Mr. Sharp jof Bridgeport for a quarter section in that neighborhood. Aug.

The arrival of a bran' new daughter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kniest was one of the happenings of uoteon Independence day in Alliance. Mother and child are doing nicely and John is still able to act as foreman at The Herald office. Miss Ethel Brown of 720 Big Horn Ave. met with a painful accident while in discharge of her duty at the- Steam Lanndry on Wednesday of this week. Miss Brown was working at a mangier and her hand was cauget between the rollers, burning it severely. A. S. Reed contracted with Peter Kicken for the breaking of forty acres of sod on his place east of town, but when that amount had been broken he was so well pleased with the work that he had him continue until nearly one hundred acres of virgin soil had been turned over, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hamilton went to Crawford last Sunday noon, Mrs. Hamilton remaining for the celebra tion Monday, while W. J., joined by Judge L. A. Berry, hied to the fishing grounds uear Harrison, where they enjoyed a day angling for aud catching about fifty fine trout. Prof, Hunt had a letter from Mrs. Hunt last Saturday in which she re ported the weather in Otoe county hot and moist, corn being "laid by" and almost too large to cultivate.

Bye's pool and bil liard parlor fixtures and business, took possession of the same on Tuesday of last week, although Mr. Bye remains in charge of them for a few days. He is planning a western trip in search of a location, and will probably head in at Seattle. Another productive trim that grows in Box Butte's fertile soil is the goose berry. This fact is attested by bushes growing in the garden of Mike Shay, in this city. The branches of Mr. Shay's berry patch aro so completely loaded with fruit as to weigh them to the ground. In fact the quantity of gooseberries he will harvest will be phenomenal. Alliance is a city of automobiles, Besides the large number of private machines here, the public garages and livery barns are well supplied; but there was such a demand for them this morning that Lloyd C. Thomas found it necessary to telephone to Frohnapfel at Hemingford to send down an auto to take some prospective land buyers to the country. Watkins & Feagius have purchased Joe Vaughn's entire herd of cattle con sisting of about 825 head besides 250 or 300 head of calves, the deal being closed ou Tuesday of this week aud the consideration being about 325,000. This is one of many large cattle deals that have been made by this firm re cently. Since last winter they have sold 5,000 head and bad 2,000 on hand before making this last purchase. The Herald extends a cordial invito tion to farmers and ranchmen to call at our office when in Alliance. We are intensely interested in the develop ment of this country and wish to learn all we can from those who have had, and aro having, practical experience. The disseiniuation of scientific know ledge has already been of some benefit to this country and will certainly be of incomparable greater benefit in the future, but should be backed up by practical work. Prof. E. W. Hunt has gone to Chad ron in response to an invitation to be there tomorrow to meet Mr. Miller, G. P. & Fr't. Agent of the Northwestern for Nebraska and Wyoming divisions, and W. E. Curtis, the well known writer for the Chicago Recotd-Herald. These gentlemen are making a trip of inspection goitig (o Belle Fourche, S D., theuce to Lander, Wyo., and wish to get Prof. Hunt's opinion as to the possibilities of development of this country. Mr. Miller has been keeping close tab 'on the professor's work in Nebraska for several years. He is very much interested in it and will do what he can to promote the same. Chas. Sisley was iu town this morn ing from his farm five miles north, and favored The Herald office with a call. He was one of the pioneers iu this country and has had a great deal oi experience that could be profitably used by others as well as by himself. This year he is using a "weeder" on his oats as well as other crops. Hav ing a field of wheat on new ground he tried using the weeder on that, but discontinued the same ou account of the pieces of sod covering the wheat. Already a marked difference can be noticed between the crops on the land not so cultivated and those on land that has had the surface pulverized- The proposed improvement in the Alliance telephone service will be wel comed, especially by people who have beeu accustomed to better service. The local management has spared no pains in their efforts to serve the pub lie well, and have been assisted by efficient aud accommodating employes, and have, we think, given as good ser vice as is rendered by any exchange with the same kind of equipment; but it seems that the rates charged here have been too low to- justify the com pany iu putting in as expensive equip ment as is necessary iu order to give an up-to-date service, hence the com pany asks of the city council the privi lege of increasing the rates. We think under the circumstances there will be little or no objection ou the part of the patrons, For Sale or Rent Strictly modern house, seven rooms. Exceptionally good location. Inquire at The Herald office. Alliance Junior Normal Again Ahead Supt. Hayes received a letter today from Broken Bow informing him that tho total Junior Normal enrollment to date is 120. The enrollment at Mc Cook is about 121. The enrollment at Alliance is more than 170- The Al liance, Broken Bow and McCook Junior Normals being three of the largest in the state, there can be no doubt that Alliance is again considerably in the lead Farewell to Mrs. Dr. Allen A farewell meeting at the residence of Mrs. J. L. Vallow was given Mrs. Thomas Allen last Monday afternoon by the members of the W. F. M. S. of the M. E. church, of which Mrs. Allen has been president. A souvenir spoon and pin were presented her b' the so ciety as tokens of their esteem. Ice cream and cake were served and a short literary program was rendered. The M. E. S. S. orchestra furnished music for the occasion. Mrs. Allen will visit nt Rapid City, S. D., before joining her husband in the south. , Grows Potatoes for Southern Seed C. E. Rosenberger, one of The Her ald's many Hemingford readers, called today. He informs us that he is growing ninety acres of potatoes this year, the largest acreage of potatoes that he has grown any year yet. Sev enty acres are of the Bliss Triumph variety which he grows for the south ern seed trade. He treats all his seed potatoes before planting in a solution of corrosive sublimate, and always has a crop in the fall of best quality. W. O.VV. Deputy Goes to Scottsbluff E. L. Moll, state deputy and organiz er of the Woodmen of World, left yes terday of Scottsbjuit after spending several Weeks in Alliance. He inter ested n nice line of business here, the local camp now numbering about one hundred members. He will probably institute three camps on the Uuernsey line. Alliance Laboratory. We had the pleasure on Monday of this week of visiting the branch laboratory which is located in the southwest room on the second floor of the city hall building and is in charge of Dr. E. Mead Wilcox, state botanist. Wo expect soon to give a description of the work being done. 'Mean while we wish to inform all persons inter ested in potato culture that they will be welcomed at any time they may call at the laboratory, and are invited to ask any questions they may choose, which will be cheerfully answered. Any potato growers in this part of the state who discover any indications of potato diseases should report the same without delay to Dr. Wilcox or Prof. Hunt.
