J Firemen Get a Warm Welcome From Fremont Tribune; Smiling skies and mild spring weath er greeted the delegates to the twen tieth annual convention of the N. S. V. F. A. as they swarmed into Fremont on incoming trains today. All visiting firemen who are official delegates from their home companies are required to register at the firemen's quarters at the city hall before they are given badges. All the visitors are being kept under close police surveilance and the slight est break on the part of any is followed by arrest and prompt arraignment in police court. The Cleland hose wagon deprived of its cargo of hose and rigged up with carry-all seats serves as the patrol wagon and its gong sounded incessantly in the streets all the fore noon. City Clerk Stiles was the first man to suffer arrest at the hands of the special officers. He was caupht loiter ing about the depot at 9:30 this fore noon. A few minutes later he was dumped bodily into the patrol and taken at break-neck speed to the city hall where Police Judge Laird sentenced him to ten ays at Tommy Fox's. He wab later paroled. The diligence with which the Alii mice, delegation proceeded to boost for the 19 1 1 convention the moment they struck Fremont caused the entire hunch to be rpunded up by the special officers- Several merry foot-races oc curred before all the offenders were arraigned before Police Judge Laird. W. O. Barnes, first arraigned, was charged with violating the curfew or dinance and pleaded guilty to having remained up until 2 a, in. last night. He was sentenced to buy the treats. E. G. Laing, another offender, plead ed guilty to changing his hose too often without performing the incidental ab lutions on his pedal extremities. Judge Laird commanded him to pur chase six pairs of socks. One of the most serious charges preferred was that against F. McCormick, who was said to have borrowed some hosiery at Norfolk last year and had neglected to return it. He escaped because Judge Laird helc the case to be out of his jurisdiction. Baskins, Roinig and Sny der were charged with resisting an offi cer as also was M, O. New whose case was continued till 1 530 tonight. Alliance and Vork promise to be the two rivals for the 1911 convention, and delegates from both towns have already commenced a campaign for votes. This is the first convention since the 8 o'clock closing law went into effect and Fremont is the first place the fire men have gathered in such large num bera since that time. Wednesday foreuoon there will be a business meeting at the court house at 9:30. Wednesday afternoon the fire men will be shown the places of tnter est in Fremont, and Wednesday even ing will be given over to a smoker at the firemen's quarters in the city hall. Daughters of Isabella Entertain. On Tuesday evening the lodge rooms and parlors of the K. C. hall were filled with a merry crowd. High-five was first on the program, nine games were played, and there were sixteen tables. Mrs. Chas. Breunan, Miss Aylward and Mrs. U. N. Hoskins cut for lady's first prize, a dainty china plate, Mrs. Hoskins winning it. W. A. Prindle won the gentleman's first prize, a toilet set. Mrs. McCoy and Walter Buechsenstein carried off the consolation prizes. After the card games were finished, oyster stews were served. Denny Landrigan and Mike Vaughn acted as head waiters and covered themselves with glory. Danc ing finished the evening. As enter tainers the Knights and Daughters ate unexcelled.

At five-thirty they weut to the Cafe Alliance where an elegant five course dinner was served. The Royal Neighbor lodge is grow ing to be one of the strongest in our city, both financially and in social attractions. Death of An Octogenarian. Following a brief illuess of a few weeks, Samuel M. Gleason passed away yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Gleason was 80 years old, and at the time of his death was living with his son, Earl F, Gleason, an engiueer ou the Burlington. Death was due to dropsy and heart failure. The body was shipped to his old home al Utica, Neb., on 42 for burial. It does us good to report the condition of the weather this week. Barring the fact that the ground has been covered with snow, the weather the past week has been fine for January. We have been earnestly wishing for the snow to melt so that stock could have the benefit of winter pasture, there being prospect tli at but few farmers and ranch ujon will have enough feed to curry them through till grass comes, if the snow remains on much longer, The snow has melted a little nearly every day the past week, the most yester day (Wednesday) when the streets in town became quite muddy. Today it is melting more slowly than yesterday. The snow still covers the fields and prairie, with some bare patches, but we are hoping for enough warm weather to take it off soon. r When You Buy The Boms Merchants merit your support, tber ue the sulniUys of the community.

More Local News for The Herald SPECIAL PREMIUMS During the past year a number of improvements have been made in The Herald, particularly in regard to educational matters and the development of the country along agricultural lines; but we frankly confess there has been one feature of the paper that, owing to insufficient cleri cal help, has not been satisfac tory to the editor, and that is the local news. This feature is to be greatly improved. "We are very glad to announce that we have secured the servi ces of A. E. Hayward, formerly reporter on the Fremont Daily Tribune. He arrived in Alliance the first of this week and has taken his place in our office and on our reportorial staff. Any assistance that readers of The Herald may give him in securing news will be greatly appreciated. Weekly Market Report. Beef Steers, $3.25 to $4.00; hogs, J6.75 to $7,50; calves, J7.00 to $9.00.
