The Alliance Cash Shoe Store
In Memoriam
Mrs. Emma Gadsby Roberts waB
born In Whitwell, England, Aug. 20,
1823, in a public house known as the
"Knoll of Arms," owned by the Ring
and kept by her parents, she being the
oldest of a family of fifteen children.
Sho came to America at the ago of
about 20 years and settled in Canada.
About 1850 she removed from Canada
to Kalamazoo, Mich., and lived there
for several Years, then moved to San
Francisco. Soon after the earthquako
in San Francisco, a few years ago, Bhe
came to Alliance, whero she resided
until her demise at the home of her
brother, Geo. Gadsby, Sr., and whero
she departed this life on March 2, 1910.
Sho was twice married, her first hus
band's namo being Grant and her sec
ond husband's name, Roberts. She
has been a widow for about twelve
years. Sho united with the BaptiBt
church when about 19 years of age and
was a faithful member until the time
of her death. Sho was greatly respect
ed and loved bv those who knew her
and will bo greatly missed by her sor
rowing friends. The funeral was con
ducted by Rev. J. M. Huston at the
Baptist church last Saturday, inter
ment being in Greenwood ceremony.
Ripened Wheat
We bent today o'er a coffined form,
And our tears fell softly down;
We looked our last on the aged face,
With its look of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like a silver crown.
We . touched 'our own to the clay-cold
hands,
From life's long labor at rest;
And among the blossoms, white and
sweet,
Wo noted a bunch of golden wheat,
Clasped close to the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless
.bloom,
Of a laud where fall no tears;
The ripe wheat told of toil and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting
prayer,
The garnered good of the years.
Wo knew not what work her hands had
found.
What rugged places her feet;
What cross was hers, what blackness
of night,
We saw but tho peace, the blossoms
white,
And the bunch of ripened wheat.
As each goes up from the fields ot
earth,
Bearing the treasures of life,
God looks for some gathered grain of
good,
From the ripe harvest that shining
stood,
But waiting the reaper's knife.
Then labor well, that in death you go
Not only with blossoms sweet,
Not bent with doubt, and burdened
with fears,
And dead, dry husks of the wasted
years,
But laden with golden wheat.
An Interesting Reader
Rev. D. Webster Davis, pastor of
the Congregational church at Crawford,
is an elocutionist of no mean ability.
The reading he gave at the Methodist
church on the eveniug of February. 21,
deserves more than a mere mention.
One point in particular that was ap
preciated by his hearers was the lack
of affectation. Many elocutionists
spoil their reading for ordinary mortals
by extremes that are distasteful to most
people, and for this reason Mr. Davis'
production was all the more appreciat
ed. Alliance Sewar System.
As mentioned in the Herald last
week, Wm. Grant, engiueer in charge
tl the construction of the Alliance
6ewer system arrived from Lincoln on
Tuesday, March ist. Work on the
sewer has been resumed. The contract
for the laterals were let to Abel &
Roberts for the five lateral sewers for
$5237,00 and for the disposal plant for
$7644.00.
Following are the five lateral districts
for which the contract has been let:

Hot Much Difference Between Them
A few months since the editor of
Tho Herald received a call from an
acquaintance, who is a county official
of one of the counties in. tho south
eastern part of the state, and who, by
tho way, is a republican in politics,
but of the progressive kind. Some
thing was said jokingly about differen
ces in politics, when we asked the
question, "What is the difference be
tween a Bryan democrat and an insur
gent republican?" and without hesita
tion the republican frankly replied,
"There isn't any difference."
High School Victories.
We Had the Following Written Up For
Last Week's Issue of the Herald, But
It Was One of a Number of Articles
Crowded Out
Last week the Alliance High School
scored thrco more victories. On Friday
night the debating) team went to Bridge
port and defeated the representatives
of the High School at that place. The
same night the Chadron Academy bas
ketball team played here and were de
feated by the Alliance boys by a score
of 59 to 10. ' The Chadron boys are
jolly fellows, and their visit here was
very much enjoyed by the Alliance
High School students, who are hoping
that before another game is played
with them they will practice the game
sufficiently to make it interesting.
Probably more interest was taken in
the debate Saturday night between the
three representatives of the Sidney
High School and tho Alliance High
School debaters than in any other re
cent contest. Up to the time of this
debate the Sidney school held the de
bating championship of Nebraska, and
was one of the best high school debat
ing teams in the state. For this reason?
it was considered very doubtful as to
how Alliance school would fare in a
contest with them. The question de
bated was: "Resolved, That labor
unions have been, on the whole, bene
ficial," tho affirmative being maintained
by the Sidney representatives. The
Alliance High School debaters, Miss
Ethel James. Miss Ethel Johnston and
Mr, Ewald Otto, had the negative side.
The judges gave their decision in favor
of Alliance. The Sidney representatives
displayed considerable oratorical abili
ty and showed that they had made
careful preparation, but were lacking
in ability for extemporaneous speaking
which was manifestly against them in
presenting the rebuttal. Had the con
test been oratorical instead of a debate,
the Sidney boys would have stood a
better show of whining. The Alliance
debators not only showed proper prep
aration and made a good impression in
the opening speeches, but were decid
edly superior to their opponents in ex
temporaneous speaking which gave
them the advantage in rebuttal.

Left Over Items
Persons who are frequent visitors at
Tho Herald office know something
about how we have been crowded with
work for the last few weeks, and con
sequently were probably not surprised
that several very important items that
should have been written up at some
length were disposed of last wrk with
a mere mention. As a matter ot news
it is rather late to mention tlium now,
but as a matter ot cumiesy and gener
al information, it is better to mention
now than nut at all.
An Upto-Date Variety Store.
"Tho Fair," is the name given to
Con- W- J. Hamilton's new store at
404 Box, Butte ave., aud it certainly
is a very appropriate name. The Her
ald reporter dropped in to see "Billy"
a few minutes this morning, and found
him and bis helpers quite busy as they
have been for some days past. Open
ing up a large stock of goods, putting
them on the shelves, and properly ar
ranging everything for business is no
small task, but they now have this
part of their work practically complet
ed and can devote all their time in the
store, waiting on customers. "The
Fair," starts out with a good trade, in
fact we understand larger than was
anticipated. Customers have a large
variety to select from, everything new
and modern, and that the public ap
preciates this kind of a store is shown
by the patronage that is already large
and increasing day by day. It would
be impossible to enumerate the things
found in this store, consisting of glass
ware, china ware, tin and granite ware
kitchen utensils, practically everything
needed in a kitchen, pictures for the
children, toys and easier goods and
many other things not included in the

OU expect to
beautiful garments for Easter, and when
you come here
not be disappointed.
The styles for spring are attractive in them
selves, and they are also, developed in fabrics and
colors that will please the most critical.
s
The suits and coats that we are showing can
be delivered quickly as you'll find, when you try
them on, that very few, if any, alterations are re
quired, on account of the perfect designing.
Select a garment that becomes and fits you,
and you'll find, as you wear it, that the graceful
lines are permanent that the garment holds its
shape. This very important point of merit is. due
to the high quality of the garment.
We invite you most cordially to inspect these
beautiful, high-class garments. The display is a
magnificent object lesson in all that is desirable in
coats and suits.
