0 s : c m RIGHT MATERIAL RIGHT WORKMANSHIP RIGHT STYLE RIGHT PRICES i Alliance Cash Shoe Store Homestead Mrs. J. S. Thorp has been very sick for the past ten days, but is improving. However, the doctor, who camo out from Hcmmcford to sco her, has ad vised Mr. Thorp to arrange for her to go into a lower altitudo ns soon as pos sible, and ho expects to take her to a sanitarium in Lincoln as soon as she is able to travel, Asthma and heart trouble are the cause of her illness. We are sorry to loso Mrs. Thorp from the neighborhood as both slio and her husband are neighbors tho kind of which it is a. pleasure to live near in this ago and neighborhood, always at tending strictly to thoir own business and never talking about their neighbors or stooping to tho petty gossip that al ways works injury to someone whoso struggle may bo already all he can stand, Perry Ball is building a stable. Perry has advertised to prove up in about 60 days. With him Gcorgo Hedgccock, Emmet Johnson and J. S. Thorp have all advertised to inako proof on the same duy. We know of 110 more plucky home steader and doubt whether there is one in Amorica, than our neighbor, Me Bride, and he is doubly worthy Bince his determination to be a burden on no one, neither tell his trouble to any one, was the motivo that proinptcd him to come out here. For three years ho has lived on his homestead alone, all this time bo crippled with rheumatism hb to make it impossible for him to walk more than a few steps at a time, and never able to do any work of any kind. Ho has been failing rapidly the past few months and now can scarcely get across his little sod room. Ho told us n few days since that ho would rather starve almost, than to cook tho one meal a day that ho manages to get. He is an educated man and a gentlemen, having at one timo been county superintendent of schools. His time is not long on this or any other homestead and ere long he will be go ing over to leport to Him who said, "I was sick and ye visited mo for inasmuch as ye did it unto ouo of tho least of these, ye did it unto me," and we've been wondering of late what ho will tell the Master of our care for him while we had him in our midst- With the bride dressed in a beautiful pure white, silk dress, the marriage of Ralla Shetler to Miss Dattie Stewart occurred on scheduled time in the Can ton church last Monday evening, Rev. Huston of Alliance officiating. The happy couple are uow "at homo" on tho homestead of Ralla'a father. Mrs. Mary Hughes of Marslaud at tended tho Shetler-Stewart wedding at Canton Monday evening. "Cream day" comes twice a week at Canton now, the settlers taking their cream in on Mondays and Fridays, and Mr. Lockwood takes it pn to Heming ford the days following. Ed Leathers and his father went to Hemingford last week and purchased a new Acme mower of the implement man, Ben Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Boyer spent a few days down on tho Platto near Bayard last week. Tho drive homo through the heat on Monday was very hard on Mrs. B who was quite sick as a result. Mr. Kauffman, one of our fellow homesteaders who isn't afraid of work and who is getting to the front, made a trip to Hemingford this week after a load of hay for A. D. Weir. Among those in our neighborhood who have been having a "tale of woo" concerning their wells of lato are Perry Ball, Waller Scott, E. G. Boyer, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Hawkins and n lot of Garvoy and Mrs. Emmet John son, sisters of Mrs. Thorp, have been very attentive at tho bedside of Mrs. Thorp the past two weeks. ... v , v. , wtj IU UUUlllU' date the traffic of which a great deal is tho past several days. Sylvester Grant camo over into this comtnuiiity last Friday and bought a mare and colt of J. S. Thorp. Con sideration, S105. Mr. and Mrs. Hcdgecock drove to Hemingford Friday evening to attend a conference of the Adventists there on Saturday and to join in a good timo in the grove near tho church on the 4th. All this part of Sioux and Box Butte counties went to tho Niobrara rivor to fish (?) and celebrate the 4th on last Saturday. Rev. Joel Brown, the evangelist, has been visiting his family on the home stead south of Canton (tho homestead formerly owned by Rev. G. C. Joffers) for several weeks, and preached at Curley last Wednesday evening and on Friday morning left for Denver to re sumo his evangelistic work. At tho annual school meeting in this district "Uncle Billy" Bourke was elected treasurer, the term of Le Hood expiring. Walter Scott received word Sunday of the dangerous illness of his father and left that evening for his bedside. He lives iu Iowa, Great was the crowd of happy Home steaders who celebrated the 4th last Saturday on tho Kay ranch up on the Running Water- Fishing, game3, visiting and dancing made the day and uight pleasant for those present- Some of the younger people did not get home 'till the next morning. At tho Sunday school last Sunday a committee was appointed to purchase supplies for the comfort and help of Mr. McBrido, our neighbor, and a sub scription was f akeu for that purpose. M. Space. Hitching Racks Needed. A farmer friend has called the editor's attention to the need of more hitching racks in Alliance, and we wish in turn to call attention of the business men of the city to tho same. This is n mMinr of great importance iu tryiug to secure auu 110111 mo trade ot tanners, upon which so much depends, and we sup pose it will be brought up at the next meeting.

Hancock is now in tho 'cow business" near Lakeside. W. J. Hamilton laid off last Satur day and he and Mrs. Hamilton spent tho 4th in Crawford, YardmaBter Parrish at Seneca re sumed work, but was again compelled to lay off on account of the Illness of his child. His place was taken by Extra Conductor Beard of Alliance. Gen. Supt. Bracken is in the Black Hills district this week, Material is being received at Raven na for a new coal shed, which will be started in the near future, and tho work rushed uutil completed. This will be quite an improvement to the railroad property at Ravenna, as the shed now in use is a small, low shed of the old style. Owing to severe rains on the Sheri dan division, No. 42 and No. 44, due here on Tuesday, were several hours lato, papsing through Alliance lato Tuesday night. The Deadwood trains were run from Edgemont as first sec tion of 42 ou time, so the passenger service was not entirely crippled on this account. Passenger travel to tho north coast is on tho increase. A number of extra cars are ncccieu every day to acconio D. CLEM DEAVER, GENERAL AGENT Land Seekers Information Bureau, Omaha, Nebr. tor Seattle. No. 41 left Ravenna Tuesday uight in two sections, and al most every day trains 41 and 43 have from ono to four extra cars. Conductor Armour made a trip to Edgemont in Ponath's place, the latter taking in the celebration at Crawford Monday. A cloudburst in the vicinity of Litch field Sunday night delayed trains some but nothing as serious as is reported from Wyoming. Engineer Chris Rockey laid off a couple of trips last week, Art Nelson taking his run on No. 42 and No. 43. All credit regarding fast trains run ning aud cuttiug down of timo should not bo given to engineers alone. It is in fact the firemen who are entitled to some of the praise. The man at the throttle, of course, baa the train in hand, but the "lad" behind the shovel furnishes tho power that gives the speed. So iu the recent fast time made by traiu 43 from Ravenna to this city, Engineer Mike Nolan shares houors with Fireman Pete Rowland. Railroad Notes from Edgemont ll'roin last Friday's Express) Supt.
