Hew teal Estate Fk m
1 tie Alliance Land company is the
name adopted for the transacting of
real estate business by a new firm
composed of Messers. J. A. Hunter
and W. M. Iodence. They have rent
ed the southwest corner on the second
floor of the Rumer block, one of the
best locations, we think, in the city
ior ineir puipoce.
We predict that this new firm will
dispose of a large amount of Box Butte
county soil the coming season. Mr.
Hunter is thoroughly familiar with
this country, he is well acquainted with
the people and is a rustling business
man. Mr. Iodence also has a practical
knowledge of the soil and farming pros,
pects of this county, which with his
legal lore will make him a valuable
member ot a firm of this kind.
These gentlemen started out rieht
by ordtring a supply of printed matter,
irom me neraia'8 job department.
The indications are that there will
be an unusual large attendance at the
opera house to hear the famous lectur
er; "Seamu8MacManus," in "Rollick
ing Ramble through Ireland,"
Easter Monday Bail
The committee in chnrgo of the ball
to be given next Monday night at the
l'hclttu opera house by the Knights of
Columbus has been hard at work with
the determination to mako this event
the most enjoyable of the year. It
is no easy matter to eclipse the success
of last year, but the committee believes
it can promise to all attending next
Monday night just a little bit the swell
est affair that has happened in Alliance
for some time.
Something About
The Herald Piano
The Bennett Piano offered by the
Herald iti the contest now under way
possibly represents the greatest value
of any piano in the market today at
the price. The Bennett Co., has long
been known as tho exponents of, and
factors in the west tor strictly high
grade pianos. There is not a stenciled
piano purchased and sold by them from
the many factories today making and
selling this class of piano.
The Bennett Co. piano is manufac
tured by Kohlcr & Cnmpboll, tbe larg
est ond 'orw of the most distinguished
piano 'manufactures and interior player
action 'makers in the world. Every
Dennett Co. piano haB the name of
SCohlerOfc Campbell, its manufacturers,
oast in the plate. The piano to be
given away to the successful corrtesfant
has already been ordered and will
reach Alliance 'the early .part of April,
and will be on 'display in their store
rooms, opposite 'the postoftce.
There is a great deal of interest
manifested in 'the contest -and we -assure
whoever i6 -successful in securing
'this'boautiful 'instrument that she will
get apaano of which she can be pread,
and one backed 'by a manufacturer who
is secoad to noee in 'the world; -also
backed 'by the Bennett Co.. whose re
putataion for eqsarc dealmc and wbese
rfinancial standing in Nebraska .and
Wyoming is not -questioned by any "re
putable person.

dainty and .delicious three-course lunch
was served on the card tables. This is
Abo first time Mr. and Mrs. Murray

xheir hospitality that they are worthy
of the welcome given tbem. The

bail team.
Oin Tuesday afternoon twelve ladies

At 5:30 eleven games had been played

delicious, long-to-be-remembered lun

was served on the little tables. At six
p. m. the ladies departed after assuring
Mrs. Birney it was one of tbe most
pleasant parties of the season.

U. N. Hoskins, on Wednesday after

from 2:30 to 5:30 with that popular
game " 500." When the scores were
counted they were found to be very
close. Mrs. A. E. Nelson and Mrs.
Dietlein cut for one prize, the latter
was successful. Mrs. R. E. Murray
was another prize winner. The smil
ing faces of Mrs. Claude Lester and
Mrs Lindley Ellis showed that thev

prizes. Mrs. Hoskins took her guests
io one of the popular ice cream parlors
for lunch.
On Saturday evening Mrs. A. E.
Nelson entertained a few friends in
honor of her guest, Miss Starr of Ra
venna. It is needless to add that a
pleasant evening was spent.
Reform Began
A number of boys from about eight
to fourteen years of age that have been
staving out of school and earning a
little money were found shooting fire
crackers and doing other things that
were annoyinglto citizens of Alliance
last Saturday and were arrested by the
city" marshal and taken before Judge

probably have been sent to the ri-fc'n
school, but the judge did not coni.if 1
this advisable at present, but gave thftu
a ten days' jail sentence, the sentence
being suspended on condition that they
behave themselves, following the advice
given to them in a good talk by the
judge- This we suppose is a good be
ginning in a matter that has been too
much neglected, We suggest that it
be followed up with an enforcement of
the compulsory education law.
