Bring in Exhibits Early
Exhibitors at tho county fair next
week are requested to bring in their

This is Important, as tho persons in

in place on that day. If absolutely
impossible to bring them in on Satur
day, be sure to do so early Monday, as
the fair opens Tuesday morning, and
having the exhibits all in place before

a success of that feature. By all
means do not wait till Tuesday to bring

High School Paper
Enterprise in educational work pushes
to the front again in Alliance. Ar
rangements have been completed for
the publication of a monthly periodical
by the High School, commencing the
first week in October. It will be neatly
printed, on a good quality of paper, in
pamphlet form, either' twenty-four
pages and cbver or thirty.two pages and
cover. The&subscription price is 50
cents focthoeight issues of the school
year. TheJcTrculation will bo princi
pally in western Nebraska, but many
high schools in our own and other
states will bo provided with copies.
The students and faculty hope by
this means to give the patrons of the
schools and others a better knowledge
of the work they are doing, and will
spare no effort to make the paper a
success. It is hoped also to help in
crease an interest in the cause of edu
cation in general, and particularly in
this part of the west.
In the selection of a name the stu
dents showed their loyalty to north
western Nebraska by naming it after
tho leading crop of this section, The
Spud- Not less than 500 copies of the
first issue will be printed. Already
more than 200 subscriptions have been
secured.
What'is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, accordingly a full corps of
editors and managers has been se
lected, who will without doubt, under
the supervision of the superintendent
and the principal, make it one of the
best papers of its kind.
The Spud will make its debut with
Lyle Mewhirter as editor; Josie Hamp
ton, associate editor; Nell Acheson,
organization editor; Mabel Worley,
girls' athletic editor; Camille Nolle, ex
change editor; Herbert Nelson, senior
class editor; John Shay, junior class
editor; Mildred Leith, sophomore class
editor; Paul Thomas, freshman class
editor; MissLichty, staff artist; Beulah
Smith, music editor; Fred Carlson,
business manager; Harry Betebencr,
assistant business manager.
Subscriptions may be sent to the
business manager or to Miss Emma
Tash, chairman of the subscription
committee.

JL KAILWAf NUILS ANU I'LlfdUNALa.
Two or three Deadwood line crews
have made trips to Alliance to help re
lieve the congestion of dead freight in
the Edgemont yard.
Conductor Lawson, who has been
acting as yardmaster at Crawford for a
few days, has returned to Alliance and
resumed work on the road.
The Burlington roundhouse at Oma
ha was destroyed by fire Sunday, ren
dering three engines useless. The
Burlington is having her share of hard
luck these days.
A few new engines of the R 3 class
are being received and put in freight
service. Engineers Townsend and
Moulton have been assigned to two of
these for the present
Agent Powell of Hazard, who has
been taking a short vacation, has re
turned to work, and extra Agent Mc
Kinney has gone to Ansley to work as
operator for a few days.
Conductor Chas. Turney received a
message Tuesday notifying him of the
death of his mother. A man was sent
on No. 44 to relieve him on an east
bouud freight train east of Seneca, and
he boarded No. 44 for the east.
The pay car resumed its old route
this month, payiug off here in the
morning, then departing for the west,
and was run as a special from here to
Seneca Monday afternoon to pay off
tho gangs of men working on tho track.
This is much more satisfactory to
tho employes in Alliance, as they can
got thcifchcckB so much earlier in the
day.
An alarm of fire wns sent in from
tho freight house twice last Saturday,
but in both instances the flames wcro
put under control before tho arrival of
tho department. The first time, it
seems, the firo was not entirely extin
guished and smouldered until late in
tho afternoon, and broko out again.
Tho damage was slight.
It in announced in Lincoln that the
Burlington will not run ttains to handlo
passengers between Lincoln and the
fair grounds in the future. The claim
is made that thero is not enough traffic
in it to offset the expense incurred, nnd
besides,, there in an increase in the
danger of handling so many trains on
this piece of single track, which nt or
dinary times 1b one of tho busiest
pieces of track in Nebraska. In the
future, the Burlington says, the street
car company can have tho business-
Considerable excitement prevailed in
the telegraph office about midnight
Tuesday night, when word was received
that Operator Wm. Maxwell, while on
his way to work had been "slugged" by
some unknown person and had bceu
found insensible, lying near h i s
boarding house. He was taken to his
room at d a physician called- When
Maxwcl : regained consciousness he was
able to pi I a little of how it occurred.
Maxwcl goes to work at midnight and
had just left the house when he saw a
fellow come out of the alley, look
around or an instant, and then disap
pear in o the alley way again, when
Maxwcl came up ho was crouching
near the fence in the alley. Maxwell
asked him what be was doing and the
ruffian arose and struck him on the
back of the head with some hard in
strument, which knocked him over.
Maxwell is resting easy at present and
no ill tesults are expected from the in
cidenfcHia assailant is unknown. ,
An expensive incident occurred at
Hazard last Friday evening when No.
45 and a stock train east struck west of
there, which was caused by a misun
derstanding of train orders. Several
cars in both trains, including a few
cars of sheep, were wrecked. No one
was injured except one or two men on
tho engines, who were bruised up pret
ty badly in jumping. Tho derrick out
fit was sent from Alliance with Messrs.
Joder and Birdsell, and the track was
cleared as soon as possible. Several
passenger trains were delayed pretty
badly on account of this. It has been
close to three years since there was a
bad wreck on the Alliance division, and
following so closely to the Burnhatn
incident as it does, it will act as an in
centive to every oneto be careful and
watch their p's and q's. Let us hope
that it will be three years before there
is another of this character.
Over and Short.
One day when old St. Peter
Was checking up his run,
He came upon a way-bill
Marked "short:" and just for fun
He started out a tracer
To see where it had gone;
Then marked it ''short from Heaven,"
And let the bill go on.
The way-bill read "One Baby,
With eyes of bonnie blue."
And, as the earth's common point,
Of course it was way-billed through'
She came right down from Heaven,
And landed here "O. K."
A. Stork was the deliveryman;
At least so the people say.
And when we got his "tracer,"
We then made this report:
"Babe arrived on 'over' bill;
So therefore close your 'short."
And on our 'over' book down here
This entry does appear:
" 'Short,' one angel up in Heaven;
'Over' one down here."
Told on the Conductor.
"Jimmie" Smith an old-timer, is
credited with having been hard on an
inquisitive passenger, last March- The
man had bored the life out of Jimmie,
mile after mile, whenever he had the
ghost of a chance. Finally, it was
"Why, conductor, this is the second
time we have crossed this stream; do
we not leave the river here?"
"Ordinarily, we do," said Jeemes,

"but this time we have received orders
to take it with us."
Another tale that went the rounds
some yearB ago, was of a very polite
conductor, named Rowan, who one
night had for a passenger the chief of
grumblers. It was a long trafn, and'
when Rowan reached Mr. Gump's
place, ho had fallen asleep. Angry at
tho request for his ticket he fumed
awhile, then threw it on the floor at
Rowan's feet with a furious, "There'B
your blankety. blank ticket!"
"Thank you," said Rowan, urbanely,
took up the ticket, punched it, and laid
it gently down on the floor again.
