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

our list of candidates in the big

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,

An interesting program was rendered

Krajicek's school, in Dist. No. 78, that
being the closing day of the term.

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.,

his district being the panhandle of the
statc. He will continue to make this
city his headquarters, and, being ably

we know they will receive from the
people of this city.
