Patrick King, one of Morrill county's north side ranchmen, recently ordered his name added to The Herald's Angora list of subscribers. It was reported that seventeen "scab" switchmen passed through Al liance one day this neck, going" north west as strike breakers. Geo- Carrell, farmer, rancher and real estate man of Hemingford, was in Alliance Tuesday and favored The Herald with a business call- W. F. Knight is one of a number who have helped this week to defray cold weather printing office expenses by paying ahead on subscription. S- D. Watson, brother of R- T., has been in the city several days. His home is at St. Johns, Mich., but he may decide to locate iu Alliance. If you want the right kind of goods, at the right kind of prices trade with the merchants who show their enter prise by advertising in The Herald. George Richardson, one of The Her ald's subscribers in the new county of Garden, came up from Lisco last Fri day and favored us with a brief call- The Methodist Epwortb Leaguers will give a "taffy pull" in the basement of the church Friday evening.

To busineso men and otbors who eat down town: Cafe Alliance has a prop osition that will interest von. Call and see us. CAFE ALLIANCE, "Where you get what you order." Joe Manion is transacting business in Alliance today, a part of it being a payment onjmhsripiion to The Herald which sets Vim aliead nearly a year. He is plauniug a visit at the home of his daughter in Nance county next month, but meanwhile will have a good deal of work to look after, a part of it being the gathering of about five hun dred bushels of corn which lie still has in the field. There was a time when a statement relating to business and published in a newspapsr, and paid for according to the amount of space occupied, was called an "advertisement," but that's too slow in this age. Now its just an "ad." Ernest M. Gregg and wife departed yesterday afternoon for a pleasure trip, expecting to visit in Denver, Lincoln and Omaha, and lastly at the old homestead at Lakeside with Mrs. Gregg's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Strong. A coincidence is something that hap pens at the same time, or in some way similar, to something else, We have noticed that it is a coincidence that business men who advertise libcrallv are patronized liberally. To us it is a very plcasiug coincidence. F. M. Allen has returned ft 0111 Scotts Bluff county, having left his well machine in that country, and will spend the winter at home on his ranch northeast of Alliance. He was in the city yesterday and favored The Herald with his customary friendly call. Editor C. K. Bassett of the Hyauuis Tribune took time by the forelock by coming to Alliance the latter part of last week to begin celebrating the happy holiday season so near at hand. Charley is a good fellow and may be depended upon to have a good time with his friends, John H. Parker and family have re cently become residents of Alliance. Mr. Parker has sold his land interests near Mason City and is looking for a location.in a higher altitude- We trust they will be so well pleased with the salubrious climate of Box Butte county that they. will decide to remain here permanently. After a very annoying delay the big plate glass show case for the Model Candy Kitchen arrived last Monday, and was put iu place iu time to begin selling on Tuesday, although the for mal opening did not take place till to day, as will be seen by reference to their ad. They start out at an oppor tune time and with a very fair trade and prospects of a big business after today s opening. p M. O. New struck a bad day for his horse sale last Saturday. If there had not been a good interest, there would have been no sale at all- As it was, fifteen head, including eight young colts, were sold, bringing a total of $999.50. The balance of the bunch was sent back to the pasture aud will probably be disposed of at public sale sometime within the next few mouths Notice the adveitiseinent of well, yes, notice them all, and do your trad ing with the merchants who have en terprise enough to use printers' ink to tell you about their goods and solicit yourtiade. If you trade with them, as you will, of course, we think you will find that they have enterpribe enough to carry a stock of up-to-date, reliable goods and sell at prices as low as is consistent with good business management. Isaac Rockey, Hemingford, is one of the many substantial men of that com munity. He has been a resident of Box Butte county for more than twelve years, duiing albof which time he has been a subscriber to this paper, hav ing subscribed within a short time after arriving. He was in Alliance Tuesday and favored our office with a call. Following bis usual custom he set him self ahead on subscription, The Royal Neighbors of America met in regular session Saturday after noon and elected the following officers for the ensuing term: Oracle, Mrs. Margaret Miller; Vice Oracle, Mrs. Floia Morris; Post Oracle, Mrs. Emma Beck; Chancellor, Mrs. Delia Mallery; Financier, Mrs. Jennie Hoskius; Mar shal, Mrs. Viora Dye; Receiver, Mrs. Mary Bowman: Inner Sentinel, Mrs. Fred Ray; Outer Sentinel, Mrs. Emma Garrett; Musician, Mrs. Ella Young. Alter the meeting the whole camp went to Holsten's, where they enjojed an oyster supper. Powder river blew up again last night near the south end of Box Butte ave nue, the alarm of fire was turned in, and the A. V; F. D. responded quickly, making a speedy dash to the front of Rheders saloon to extinguish a fire that was reported to be on the inside; but when thev got there they found it was only fire water on the inside, and as it was then after eight o'clock they could not get in to extinguish that, so they pulled the hose cart back to the fire house. Thaaditgr of oiirsteeingd eqliang'e, the Haveloak Times, gets excited and throws a catniptiou fit over the report of the Alliance-Havelock Thanksgiving day game- The Havelock boys may be sporty but they don't seem to have enough of the real sport blood in their veins to take a defeat without making a roar about it. Evidently thoy have been feeding their local editor a lot of hot air, or he would not have published some of the rank statements which he did in his issue following tho .date of the game. Tho B. of R. T, hoys elected officers at their meeting Friday evening. Clyde Miller was elected Worthy Master aud Monte Hargravos Financier. These arc the two most important offices and they will be capably filled by theso men. Lest you forget, Mr. Business Man, let us remind you again of the Commercial Club meeting next Monday evening. Indications are that Alliance will shortly be the best place in this part of the west to purchase lumber. It's a good place right now to buy it- See the ads In The Herald. It is our intention to have the next issue of The Herald ready to mail Thursday morning. If you have anything that you want published be sure to get it to the of fice not later than Wednesday. Sixteen pages to The Herald his week, printed in two sections. See that you get both sections and don't forget to read every word. A lot of advertising, to be sure, but if von will read it and profit by it, it will be interesting matter. E. Klceman, Hough, Nebr., who for a longtime has been one of The Herald's Dawes county subscribers, has decided to try a southern clime, and will spend the winter in Oklahoma. He is in Alliance today and will take the train this afternoon for the south. George Macumber of the Spade neigh borhood is in town this week attending a contest suit in which his son, Ray, a rail road man of Madison county, Iowa, is interested. If the younger Macumber wins in the contest, as he probably will, he will quit railroading and settle down on a homestead. The lecture of General Sweeney at the opera house last Thursday night was a rare treat for those who heard him. He is an orator of exceptional ability, and the sentiments contained in his theme, "The Golden Age," delighted his audience. Should he lecture in Alliance again he will no doubt be greeted by a full house. Don't forget tho meeting of the Com mercial Club next Monday night. There is business of importance to transact, and if you are a member of the club you ought to be present to transact it. If you are not a member, hut are Interested in the welfare of Alliance, you will be made wel come as a visitor. Since the organization of the Commercial Club, something more than a year ago, it has done some work that has been worth to the city many times the cost of maintaining it; and there is yet to be done by this organization work just as important, or more so, than that already accomplished. 4 .'tffftjflfe W Wedded in Chicago Tho following notice was received just in time (o publish in thili issue of The Herald: W. H. Thomas of Alliance. Nebraska, and Miss Minnie Baldwin of Xenia, Ohio, were united in marriage December 8th, nt the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, by Rev. L? W, Hendrlckson.

His high standing will commend his' bride to his. many acquaintance, who will give her a most cordial .welcome. We friend con gratulations and our best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas will be "at home" in Alliance after January 15th BAYARD ITEMS. Editor Wisner was a Mitchell visitor Weduenday. Mis Ella Wells of Mitchell visited ft in ds in town last week Mr, and Mrs- Donne were Alliance visitors the first of the week, F. E. Stearns returned Thursday from a business trip to Julesburg, Colo.

Stearns and other relatives- The first number of the' lecture course, "TJie Man of the Hour," by George C, Aydelott, sjiste.uijcii' fo at the M. E, church Dec. 2 by an appre ciative audience. New Member of State Board of Education Prof. D. W, Hayes' term as member of the State Board of Education having ex pired Governor Shatlenberger last week appointed J. J. Tooley of Anselmo, Custer county, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Tooley, at present cashier of the State Bank of Anselmo, Is an experienced school man. He has been county superintendent of public instruction in Custer county and at one time was a member of the state legis lature. Supt. Hayes' many friends would havo been delighted to see him preappointed as a member of the hoard, and there is no question but what ho would have been had it not been for one matter which is now up for settlement, and which made it impracticable for the governor to appoint a man from one of the towns seeking to secure the location of the new state nor mal school. There is little or no doubt re maining that Alliance will he selected, not because of the personality of the board lo cating, but because it is, taking everything into consideration, the only logical loca tion for it; but there are other towns that are still candidates for it, and while Mr. Hayes, as well as the other members of the board, would have given them all a fair consideration, it is no reflection upon his sense of fairness that the other towns objected to the appointment of tho super intendent of the Alliance city schools. And it does not signify that Governor Shalten berger did not recognize Prof. Hayes' ability or the claims of Alliance, simply because hi did not, under these circum stances, make tho appointment that would have been the most pleasing to us. We wish to say further that Supt. Hayes' rank as a leading educator does not depend upon his holding a position on the State Board of Education. He is recognized as one of ' the leading school men of the state and will continue to be. Furthermore, we will say that he dues not manifest the least disappointment or dis pleasure because of tho action of the gov ernor, and his successor will not receive a more cordial welcome to the office to which he has been appointed than he will re ceive from his predecessor. While we have talked with only a few persons in regard to the matter, we feel sure that Supt- Hayes' friends in Alliance, consist ing practically of the entire population, will upon proper consideration feel as he does towards Mr. Tooley, and particularly so on account of his eminent qualifications to occupy a position on the State Board of Education. Wreck Near Marsland A railroad wreck that brought grief to a home, as so many wrecks do, oc curred on the grade ono tnilo cast of Marsland, last Sunday, late in the nf ternoon. Freight train No. 45, Con ductor Tom Griffith nud Engineer Art Nelson, was. followed by an extra, running on a ten minutes block, in charge of Conductor Beach with Engi neer Sam Burchell at the throttle.

One hoy was thrown out of the car but not badly in jured, but the other was caught under an overturned piano and killed, prob ably itiRtantly.
