Water and Elecrtic Light Bonds Carry The good democratic doctrine of municipal ownership of public utilities was endorsed by the vot ers of Alliance oa Wednesday, when the propositions to bond the city for 55,000 for the water system and 20,000 for electric lights carried by majorities of 106 and 171. More Candidates Wanted Wo now have eleven names on our list of candidates in the big piano contest. As there will be at least fifteen other prizes be sides the principal one, there should be several times as many contestants. Date Of Closing Contest The contest will close during the summer, the exact date to be announced later. A Musical Treat It was expected that the concert given in the opera house last evening,, under the auspices of the music com. mittee of the M. E. church, would be good, although it was feared by some that the music being "classical" would not be appreciated as highly as if it had been of the kind commonly sup posed to be more popular; but the large attendance and the rapt attention given to the performance showed that such fears .were quite needless, and that the people of this city appreciate a high'class entertainment. The con cert was given by members of the faculty of the Nebraska Wesleyan Conservatory of Music: Prof. Johan - (., ,i:,- n:n:t. i,f"i Anton Stechele. violinist; and Prof. Aden Enyeart, vocalist, taking the place on the program of Prof. Clemens Movius, who was unable to be present on account of illness. Our musical lore is not comprehensive enough to permit a writeup of the en tertainment in academic terms, but in common parlance the three musicians showed conclusively that they were "artists" in their respective lines. We sincerely hope this class of entertain ments will become more frequent in this city; and we think it may be safely predicted that they will invariably be patronized liberally. Strasburger to the Front. Some weeks since we had the pleas ure of receiving a call from Mr. aud Mrs. John B. Strasburger and Irby Hall of Strasburger, Sheridan county. They were all enthusiastic over the prospects for the substantial develop ment of their part of the country and were evidently doing their part to further the same. Mr. Strasburger is an attorney of no mean ability and is also the Nasby of the postoffice which was named after him. Mr. Hall is a young man recently arrived from Chi cago, and is imbued with true western snap. ., , Mr. Strasburger was in Alliance again this week accompanied by a number of his neighbors, one of whom is W. C. Philpott who came from Te cumseh, Nebr-, about three weeks ago. He is well pleased with the country and intends to make his home in the Strasburger neighborhood. He follows the good example of many other new comers by subscribing for The Herald. By the way, Strasburger postoffice is west of the Spade ranch, and is twenty five miles north of Ellsworth. Delayed in Their Arrival. It was expected that the Sis ters of Mercy who are to take charge of the Alliance hospital, would arrive from Omaha today, but they are detained until next Thursday, when three sisters and a trained nurse will assume charge of that institution until the new hospital is completed. Easter Services. Appropriate Easter services were held ai the several churches Sunday. The musical numbers were exception ally fine and the floral decorations beautiful, ' Teachers' Association at Bridgeport. The North Platte Valley Teachers' association at Bridgeport last Friday and Saturday was attended by alt the teachers of the Alliance city schools; by three of the Hemingford teachers, Mrs. Leora Rustin, Miss Flora Da Boll and Miss Emma Ncrud; and by a number of other teachers of the coun ty, including Miss Fanny McCoy, MisB Jessie Hacker, Miss Mary Iodcnce, Miss Clara Larson, Mrs. Fanny Shank lin, the Misses Nina and Nettie Nation, and Miss Marie Hampton who waB ac companied by her sister. The county superintendent, Miss Delia Reed, at tended, too, of course, and reports the association meeting a success all the way through, "Just fine" is the way she expressed her opinion to Tho Her ald scribe. The Indies quartet, consisting of Misses Lichty. Nerud, Riddell aud Snodgrass of the Alliance city schools, was especially mentioned; but there was probably nothing on the program but what .was deserving of special mention. There was great interest in the dis trict high school declamatory contest on Friday night. Alliance high school came within one point of winning first place in all three classes of the contest. In the oratorical class Miss Lura Vance won first place, aud Ralph Thomas first in dramatic; Miss Beulnh Smith won second in humorous, being defeat ed for first place by the Scottsbluff rep resentative by a margin so close, we understand, that a change of one point In the markings of the judges would have given her first instead of second. School Notes Miss Helen Nation closed a success ful term of school in Dist. No. 38, north of Alliance, last Friday. An interesting program was rendered last Friday afternoon by Miss Helen Krajicek's school, in Dist. No. 78, that being the closing day of the term. Return to Alliance The many Alliance friends of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Sherman will be pleased to learn that they have returned from Den ver and will again make this city their Jiome.

Merited Mention During the time that the Herald office was "snowed under" with work a few weeks since and which we have previously mentioned, many interesting Items were unavoidably omitted. While the omission of those items may have been a disappoint ment to some of our readers, we are sure that their disappointment was not more than ours. We are happy to announce that we are getting lined up so that we confi dently expect to hereafter give a full quota of news. i The lecture of Ex-Governor llanley of Indiana at the Phelan opera house on March 12th deserved 'more than a mere mention. It was one of the best lectures ever delivered in northwestern Nebraska. The same lecture was delivered in Craw ford the next evening with better effect, seemingly, than here. The large and appre ciative audience that greeted Mr. Hanley there was a credit to that city. Among the wedding notices that were crowded out was that of Ralph B. Smith to Ethel Klein. In recognition of their merited popularity, we venture to reprint the following which appeared in the Lin coln Star on the day following the wedding On Sunday afternoon at 1 30 o'clock the home of Mr. and Mrs, Louis Klein, 225 South Thirtieth street, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, when their eldest daughter, Miss Ethel, was united in wed lock to Ralph B. Smith of Corozol, Canal Zone. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. M. Long of the Second Presby terian church. The bride is well known in Lincoln. She was a student in the state university and a successful teacher for two years. The groom is the son of C.C. Smith of Alliance, Neb. Mr. Smith was a university student of the class of 1906. He has been for some time in the employ of the government In Corozal, Canal Zone, for which place he left with his wife soon after the ceremony. On their journey they will visit S(. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. Before leav ing a five course dinner was served. Only the immediate family were present to wit ness the ceremony, with the exception of two special friends of the bride, Miss Clara Johnston and Mrs. Mulliner, The former played the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, followed by the Mendelsohn wedding march, Baby Boy Gone Before. Yesterday morning the infant son of Michael aud Mary Bayer passed away, aged two months and eight days. The little one had an attack of pneumonia, following which an abnormal growth developed in its throat. All that lov ing hands could do could not save the precious life, iwhich was so fraught with blessing to its parents that it seemed like a flower of paradise per mitted to bloom for a brief season by their side, and then recalled to its native skies. The funeral will be held on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, interment to be in the Catholic cemetery. DiMer Guests HmwwI Mrs. Roy Beckwith and Mrs. Jerry Rowan were hostesses at a party given in honor of Mrs. Holliday and Miss Mc Daniels at the home of Mrs. Beckwith. There were about thirty present and spetft the afternoon playipg "509." Five ladies cut for first prize, Mrs. Holly being the lucky one,. In aie,w .gjacefujwords. Mrs. Holly presented the prite to 'the' guest of honor. When unwrapped it proved to be a beautiful cut glass dish. Miss McDaniels won second prize a beautiful silver fruit fork. Mrs. Birney cut for the booby prize with three others and won, she gave It to Mrs, Holliday and when opened proved to be a little deck of cards. Words can hardly do justice to the four course luncheon that was served at 5:30. By their skillful man agement and the way the afternoon passed Mrs. Beckwith and Mrs. Rowan proved themselves ideal hostesses., WW MakTAWmiliwir Hem. Rev. and Mrs. A. F. Bundy, who were happily married at the home of Wm. Rust, Jr., March 3, Rev. I. E. Nolte performing the ceremony, have rented tho comfortable cottage at 512 Niobrara avenue, and will begin house keeping as soon as their furniture ar rives, whioh may ho before this goes into print. Mrs. Bundy (nee Southard) occupied a clerical position in the Nebraska state office of the American Sunday School Union at Lincoln before her marriage, since which happy event she made a trip to the capital city to close her work there, returning to Alliance Tuesday, Mr. Bundy is one of the nine Sun day school missionaries in Nebraska,, his district being the panhandle of the statc. He will continue to make this city his headquarters, and, being ably assisted by his "better half," who is so well qualified to be a "helpmeet" to him in this work, he will no doubt make a great success in this important undertaking as the seasons come and go. To Rev. and Mrs. Bundy The Her ald extends the cordial welcome which we know they will receive from the people of this city. Stereopticon Lecture. There will he a btereopticon lecture at the United Presbyterian church on the eveniug of April ist. Rev. A. L. Godfrey will deliver the lecture which wtyl be on the subject of missions fn Africa, particularly in the Sudan. The lecture will be illustrated by stereopti con views. Rev. A. F. Bundy will op. erate the stereopticon. Attraction will be added by the fact that the places spoken of and represented have recent ly been seen in the Roosevelt expedi tion. A cordial invitation is extended to everybody to uttend. The lecture will begin at 8:15 o'clock.
