Closing of Alliance State Junior Normal The closing chapel exercises of the Alliance Junior Normal of igog were held at the usual hour on Tuesday morning, many visitors being present After singing and devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Vallow, a violin duet wqs played by Masters Freddie Funk and Paul Thomas. A hearty encore brought 'forth a selection, The March of the Brownies, by the entire Juvenile Orchestra. This was followed by another encore, the orchestra then playing an overture, "On the Farm," which was very appropriate as it was followed by an address by Prof. Hunt, who is conducting the experimental agricultural work here. The professor is an old-time pedagogue and spoke of the aim of the teacher not being so much to reach perfection in memoriz ing the multiplication table ns to ac quire "manliness and womanliness" among her pupils. Chancellor Avery, of the Nebraska State university then addressed the students, bis subject being, "Observa tions on the German School." This address was full of interest, the chan cellor showing that while the Germans might criticize American education as being "lots of it, but not very deep," that in the German institutions there was a great loss, the slower pupils be ing sacrificed for those of quicker and brighter intellects. The students felt they were highly favored by being privileged to listen to these addresses, and will no doubt re member Prof. Hunt's words of en couragement in their "dark" hours, and find food for thought during their hours of meditation from Chancellor Avery's edifying talk. The work done by the Junior Normal this season has been very satisfactory to those in charge and to the patrons, and the attendance has been encour aging in a high degree. The enroll ment was from 50 to 100 larger than the other Junior Normals of the state this year, and it exceeds the enroll ment of the last one at least fifteen and possibly as many as twenty-five. The graduating exercises will be held this evening at the Opera House. A most-interesting program which we publish in another column, will be rendered. Another Not Needed In regard to the report that there is prospect of another bank being opened in Alliance soon, The Herald rises to remark that there is just about as much need of a third bank in this city at the present time as there is of five wheels on a lumber wagon. There are two strong banking institutions here that are giving general satisfaction. Not only are they giving general satisfac tion, but so far as we know there is absolutely no complaint of the service they render, and there is no demand for another. Of course, we are simply telling how it looks to us. We have not consulted bankers or other financiers in regard to the matter. The editor, upon taking charge of this paper last winter, took the posi tion that to multiply business houses unnecessarily was a detriment rather than a benefit to the city. When any particular line of business is not ade quately represented then an effort should be made to secure a proper representation in that line; but it is better to increase the amount of busi ness by developing the country in the patronizing territory and bringing in factories that will increase the number of persons or firms that transact the city's busiuess. When there is busi ness to transact, men and firms to transact that business will naturally come in fast enough, and sometimes too fast. Local Sportsmen Got Busy The following interesting local news item was handed in last press day, but too late for publication: A week ago Sandy Griswold, in his interesting column in the Omaha World-Herald, came out with the in formation that the time for the plover was at hand, and when plover is men tioned snipe, jack-snipe and other of tho marsh fowls naturally comes in for consideration It developed that a group of local sports betook themselves to tho "murky glade beside tho splashing brink" and tbey succeeded in bagging a nico bunch and in their reports they succeeded in arousing the interest of other sports some genuine, some would-be and the more tho talk ran tho more the in terest that waB aroused. Then it was that the opportunity for a littlo of the out-of-thc-ordinary sport suggested itself, and several got their heads together and planned for a big "snipe-drivo" and cloven left tho busy streets of tho city aboard a dray wagon at about dusk last evening, and after reaching the shores of Broncho lako some preliminary skirmishing was done which of course drovo tho game into tho hills adjoining, Then the men scattered over the hills and quietly re turned to the dray, while three with tho victim stealthily crept to an arm of tho lake farthest from town and setting the gills to tho nets and placing the victim with the sack in a correct atti tude to make tho greatest catch possi ble when the snipe came in from the drive, the three left with the presumed purpose of joining tho remainder in driving the game from tho hillsides. After an hour's pailcy at the wagon in which lots of jokes were cracked and in which everyone apparently had a hand, it was voted that the jokers return to town, and it has been learned that the victim took a tumble shortly before the moon set and setting out on foot covered tho distance before the midnight hour- The boys have signified their willing ness to call the job "squared" for a cer tain small consideration, but at this time the victim has not yet committed himself. It is certain that the event at least gave each member of tho party two hours of the most amusing sport besides a very pleasant drive in tho cool of tho evening in a dray wagon, and are not willing to compel any further contributions on the part of the victim. Short Vacation '"Mtfl for Busy People For very busy people people who cannot spare the time to take an ex tended vacation tho Butto Chautau qua at Crawford probably offers the best opportunity of the season for rest and recreation. Tents can be rented, erected ready for use, by writing to D. Webster Davis, manager. As this is to be a three days' Chautauqua, you can take in the whole of it, if you wish to do so, without losing much time from your work or business. A folder giving full information can be secured by writing to the manager or calling at The Herald office- Those who wish to purchase season tickets can be accommodated by Harold Thomas at this office, who has under taken to handle the same as an ac commodation to the Chautauqua man agement and the people of this place who may wish to secure the same. Live Business Men's Good Advertisement One of the best advertisements that has ever been printed in behalf of western Nebraska has just been issued from The Herald's job printing de partment for the United States Land Co., whose home office is at 135 N. nth St., Lincoln. It is a folder giving a description of Box Butte county, il lustrated by photographic views of country and city scenes. The gentle men composing this company are live ones, aud wc are pleased to note that they arc doing an extensive business. W. H. Harding of this firm was in Alliance last week transacting business in connection with their local repre sentative, E. T. Kibble, and favored The Herald office with a call which wo appreciate, as we are always pleased to meet people who are interested in the development of this country.
