At the Baptist parsonage in Alliance, last Thursday, occurred ono of those happy events that have been so num erous in these parts lately. David F. Lewis, son of Evan Lewis, and Miss Lida Cox, daughter of Ellsworth C,ox, were pronounced husband and wife by Rev. J. M. Hnstui, after the custom ary questions had been given the usual answers. The happy young couple have our sincere congratulations and best wishes. May they have many new years in their married life, and may each succeeding new year be bap pier than the one preceding Weather Report For the benefit of our readers at a dis tance from Alliance, we will say that the weather today is fine, the snow is melting in the streets and to some extent, we are informed, in the country, although so slowly on the prairie and in the fields that it will be quite a while before it is gone, unless we get some warm winds to hasten the melting, About fourteen inches of snow, evenly distributed and packed, re quires a good deal of warmth before it will all turn into water. Good Sleighing in Madison County. P. J. Knapp called at The Herald office today and showed us a letter from Osknr A. Sundcrman, proprietor of Ash Grove Stock Farm, Madison, Nebr,, in which he stated that they were having fine Christmas weather there and splendid sleighing. There were other items of interest in the let ter, one of which was a request to Mr. Knapp that he call at The Herald of fice and pay Mr. Sundcrman's subscrip tion up to Jan. 1, 191 1. The Referendum As the time for the annual municipal election approaches, we wish to call at tention to the importance of adopting in Alliance the referendum as provided for in the statutes of Nebraska. The ques tion as to whether saloons shall be li censed will probably be the one of par amount interest, as it usually is when it is an issue. It is of immense importance to the city that a spirit of unity and co operation prevail among the busiuess men and citizens generally. Where the license question hinges upon the election of one of two sets of candidates, there is a much greater probability that hard feelings will be engendered, than if left to a direct vote. Now that we have called attention to this matter, we hope there will be some one sufficiently interested to bring it of ficially before the people that steps uec essary for the adoption of the referen dum may be taken before the time for the next city election. Who will do it? Please don't all speak at once. t REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS X T KKrOHTED BY V X A. F. llALDUIDOB, Bonrtud Abstractor James N. Field to Joseph A. Brown and G. V.

Fireman I. B. Willey has been sent to Seneca to fire the goat for a few days. Brakcman Liveringhousc, who has been in the freight service here about two months, has resigned and gone to Long Pine. Word comes from Mr. Carney, for merly ot the freight house, that ho now has a good position in the postoffice in Billings, Mont. That business is pretty good here on the C, B. & 0- demonstrated by the fact that two of our conductors gave their sweethearts diamond rings for Christmas. Engineer Huston and Fireman Ma bony of the east end came into Al liance Friday. The turntable at Sen eca was broken and they had to bring their engine in to turn it around. Fireman W. M.

About two weeks ago Mr. Baker dropped a knuckle on his big toe, mashing it quite badly, but he tried to work tho next night and froze the same toe. He will have to have the toe amputated and will probably be on the relief all winter. To show that the officials here have the welfare of the men at heart no1 more trains were run out of Alliance the day before or on Christmas day than were positively necessary. All crews at Edgemont or Seneca who had time were allowed to deadhead home This was greatly appreciated by the men as they so seldom get to spend a holiday at home. A man and woman bad a very nar row escape from death on Christmas night. The engineer on No, 41 just after passing Litchfield'' (bought they struck something but could see nothing but a horse running from the track.' At Mason they made a stop and the fireman found the top of a buggy on the front of the engine. They wired back to Litchfield and learned that a man and woman had been found both quite seriously but not dangerously hurt. Last Saturday morning the mail car on the outgoing Denver No. 301 was found to be on fire in one end, and almost one-half a car of mail was des troyed before the flames could be ex tinguished. It is supposed that a lamp in the car exploded. No doubt a great many Christmas presents were des troyed but none of them belonged to Alliance people as the mail came in on No. 36 and had been tranferred to the Denver. No blame is attached to the mail clerks, WHERE THEY SPENT CHRISTMAS. Conductor C. D. Rider went to Iowa where his children are at present.

Sidney Telegraph: Geo. Jones, formerly a North Platte railroad man, has been appointed yard master at Northport for the Union Pa cific. Wild cherry and coffee tree seed and butternuts have been planted by the Union Pacific near North Platte. Hick ory nuts and other tree seeds will also be experimented with. The trustees of the will of the late President Perkins of the Burlington railroad have conveyed, as instructed, the property known as the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs to that city. One condition of the gift is that no liquor shall ever be sold on the ground. The president of this great railroad knew the evil effects of liquor on trainmen and train service.
