DATE OF CLOSING
We learn that some have
thought that, because the exact
date of closing the contest was
not announced at the start, the
contest might be carried on till
next year; but this will not be
the case. 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.

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.
She was formerly leading lady or Star
with "Little Dolly Dimples," "Piff,
Paff, Pouff" " Tho Tenderfoot,"
"When Johnnie Comes Marching
Home," "Foxy Ouiller" and others.
She is now coming to Alliance !n a
bran new four-act comedy from tho
pen of tho eminent author C. Herbert
Kerr, entitled "Nancy." 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.
