It will close some time during the coming summer. In planning the contest we did so with a view to make ourselves Supt. Hayes Heads Peru State Normal With mingled feelings of-congratula tions to Superintendent D. W. Hayes for the honor conferred upon him and regret at the prospect of seeing him and his excellent family leave Alliance, we record his election to the presidency to the Peru State Normal by the State Board of Education on Tuesday of this week. Without doubt his select ion to fill this important position was the best thing that could be done in the interest of that school. Not only is Mr- Hayes eminently qualified for the work, but the fact that he was the choice of all factions is a matter that bespeaks the welfare of that institut ion. It was universally conceded by the leading educators of the state that he was pre-eminently the man for the place at this particular time, with the support that he will receive from all parties interested in the school. Fcr the first time in the history of state normal schools in Nebraska when a presideut was to be elected, the election was made by unanimous vote of the Board of Education on the first ballot. President Hayes salary will be tho same as that of his pre'decessor, $3,000.00 a year. Much as we regret that the Alliance city schools will lose Superintendent Hayes, there is no doubt that a well qualified successor can be secured by the school board, as applications are pouring in by every mail and some by wire. wwwww. Departed Life at Ripe Age . Mrs. Mabala Cavins was born Nov. 16, 1826 in Mexico, Penn,, and died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ella Hawkius, in Alliance, at 4 a. m. on the morning of April 13, 1910. She leaves one son, Joe Barton of San Francisco, and one daughter with whom she has resided for a year past. Since childhood she has been a mem ber of the Methodist church and exert ed a wholesome influence by her Chris tian life. Rev. Vallow, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted prayer at the residence on Wednesday even ing, and on the next day the re mains were taken to Creston, Iowa, her former home for interment, accompa nied by Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Crane of Creston, a granddaughter who is a trained nurse and has been here for about ten days, and Miss Pearl Hillis. The funeral service will be held at 10 a. m. tomorrow morning at Creston. Notice the Dates Queen Esther The Herald wishes to call particular attention to the dates for the Queen Esther cantata, or oratorio, as the dates first decided upon have been changed, and as there is still some misunderstanding in regard to the same. The final decision wan for Tuesday and Thursday of next week, April lgtli and 21st. Another thing to which we wish to call attention is the number of singers who will take part in the performance. When the copy was prepared for the programs it was expected that there would be at least seventy-five voices, but unless something occurs to keep out some of those who are now practic ing for the entertainment there will be more than one hundred who will take part. Through the kindness of J. W. Guthrie, who has the part of Ahasuer us, King of Persia, on Tuesday TO BOOM safe, and decided to close soon after the number of votes cast Indicated payments on subscript ion sufficient to cover the value of the premiums offered. But whether the subscriptions paid reach that amount or not, the contest will close in August or earlier. The exact date will be announced at least thirty days before the closing of the contest. SPECIAL PRJzTfOR APRIL The contestant receiving the largest number of votes cast by new subscribers from April 1st to the evening of May 4th will re ceive a ten dollar due bill on any store that she may select from the advertising columns of any number of the paper issued dur ing the month. This is open to all candidates, and will have nothing to do with the final award of prizes. A new sub scriber is one whose name was not ou the subscription books April 1, but whose subscription is received at .this office some time during the month. evening, we give our readers the follow ing interesting information: The cantata, "Esther, the Beautiful Queen," to be produced by local talent under the direction of Prof- A. G. Bix ler Tuesday and Thursday uighia next week promises to be one of the greatest musical and dramatic treats ever experienced by the people of this section of the state. Prof. Bixler has conducted numerous reproductions of the exquisitely rythmic harmonious operetta with remarkable success and the press of the many cities .in which he superintended its productions give him most flattering notices. He has had the pick of the singers of the city und as rehearsals have been going on for several weeks it bids fair to be a success from every standpoint. There will be a chorus of over 100 voices. The cast is a very strong one both &ocjjlly and as actors and ve can promise an evening or much enjoyment and pleasure to those who attend. The story of the piece is familiar to all readers of Bible history and as a synopsis will be given on the programs we hardly deem it necessary to recite it here. The costumes used will be correct and appropriate in every detail and will enhance the beauty of the pro duction accordingly. The proceeds are to be devoted to a most worthy ob ject and we feel assured a crowded house will greet each evenings production. It is intended to have different parties interpolate the principal partB each evening so that, while the play will be exactly the same both nights, the players will be changed, Conference of Alliance Deanery Bishop Scannell of Omaha and Father Wolf of Grand Island arrived in Alliance this morning for the first conference of Alliance deanery, which was held at 10 a. in. today at the Cath olic parsonage, departing on train No. 44. All of the priests of the deanery were present, as follows: Fr, Dolan of Chadron; Fr. Becker, Crawford; Fr, Dobson Fr. Kavanaugh and Fr. Feney, Sidney: all of whom left for their homes on the noon trains. While here the bishop visited the site for the new hospital and St. Agnes' Academy. He expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work of the students and the sisters who have charge. He had heard a great deal about the academy, but had never dreamed that such magnificent work was being done. In regard to the hospital, there is much need of such an institution here. He felt sure that those who had helped the academy so generously would also help the hospital and the sisters who arc to have charge of it. Death of Mrs. Rewick A happy home has been broken up by tlm rude bund of death. Mrs. Mabel Laura liewick. wife of Wm, L. Rewlclc, was born March 17, 1883, In Michigan, and died at her home in Alliance, Apr. 11,1010.

Alliance hotel, in afternoons. H E. Grings. It Pays to Advertise When the dimpled baby's hungry, what does the baby do? It doesn't lie serenely and merely sweetly coo; The hungry baby bellows with all its little might Till some one gives it something to curb Its appetite; The infant with the bottle which stills its fretful cries, A lesson plainly teaches it pays to ad vertise. The lamb lost on the hillside when dark ness closes round Stands not in silence trembling and waiting to be found. Its plaintive bleating echoes across the vales and meads. And when its fears are ended, as on his breast it lies, The lamb has made this patent: it pays to advertise. Chicago Record Herald. GRACE CAMERON This Famws Theatrical Star WMI Appear at the Phelan Opera House Wednesday, April 20 in the Four Act Comedy Drama "Nancy." Playgoers never having hnnrd of Graco Cameron, must confess them selves as very ignorant of tho theatri cal world for she is known all over the theatrical world as one of tho best.

Iu addition to the play Miss Cameron's great soprano voice will bo heard in several highclas3 numbers written especially for this production. At n large salary, Miss Cameron was especially engaged by the Edison Phonograph Co. to make two records a month and her records arc great sellers and very popular. If such a company ns this one headed by Grace Cameron Is not greeted by a full house, we may as well writo all other big companies booked for this place to cancel dates for it will bo evidence that Alliance people arc un willing to support good shows when the opportunity is presented. Certainly no better show than this one billed for next Wednesday night can bo secured and it is hoped that people of Alliance will show their appreciation by coming out iu largo numbers. The company management at first kicked ou playing at less than dollar and half prices but tho opera house management insisted on lower prices so that a compromise was effected v. hereby part of the houso will be sold at $1 and part at 75 cents with tho gallery at 50 cents. Scats will be on sale Monday.
