The Speed department of our State Fair, to be held Sept. 5th to gtb. is re ceiving some good advertising at the bands of the various horse papers from the fact that on the last and only bright sunshiny day of the 1909 fair I the management pulled off to comple te lion ten harness events, which is the record of the United States for game sportsmanship. A game of baseball was scheduled for Hyannis last Saturday between an Alliance "kid" nine and a Hyannis bunch, but the Alliance contingent failed to make their appearancethere by avoiding defeat.

Shoe Store It is reported that the Burlington has a bunch of surveyors at work running a line west on the old grade and which was started out of Alliance a number ofyearB ago.

Under our spoils" system ot gov eminent, the western Nebraska news papers that toady to the big political bosses of the east are given the pre ference in the publication of final proof notices over progressive papers. The Herald, not being a "stand-pat" publi cation, receives no pay for publishing final proof notices, but we publish them, in condensed form, as a matter of news. This issue of the Herald has more notices of this kind than any other paper in northwestern Nebraska. Wanted Stock pastured, have pastures different parts of the county, and in Sher idan Co.

An Old Paper Jack Carey handed The Herald editor a copy of "The Ladies' Floral Cabinet and Pictorial Home Compan ion, "published in August, 1881' The pictures are made from "wood-cuts" which were used extensively in printing a third of a century ago. One item that was probably the most interesting at that time of any in the paper was in regard to electric lights, as follows: "The electric light is making great progress. One of the effects of the illumination will probably be to change the working-hours from day to night in the centers of population in hot regions- There is no heat from the electric light, and work can be accom plished quite as readilv by its aid as during the day-time. The tendency, common to all civilized people's ot turning night into day for pleasure, if n it for business, will probably also be increased bv the use of the electric light." Enter Wedlock at Havelock "Mr. Leslie David Kauffman, Miss Sigrid Victoria Johnson, married, Thursday, April the twenty-eighth, oue thousand nine hundred and ten, Have lock, Nebraska, At home after June first, Alliance, Nebraska." Last week the Herald mentioned a wedding that was to take place oc our publication day at Havelock. Since then a daintily printed missive brought to this office the above information. The contracting parties are well and favorably known in this city, the groom being a popular salesman at the Fam ous Clothing House and the bride hav ing been formerly employed as stenog rapher in the master mechanic's office. We wish to offer congratulations and best wishes and give expressions to the pleasure we feel in announcing the es tablishment of another happy home in our city. A Fire-Proof Garage J. C. McCorklc has purchased the Baxter property on the north side of Wyoming avenne, between Laramie and Cheyenne avenues, having a front age of 87 feet. There is a brick cot tage on the ground now, but a garage 50 by 80 feet will be constructed, the work on the same to be commenced soon. Mr. McCorkle says he will carry his own insurance on this build ing and its contents and. will have it constructed absolutely fire proof, mak ing it the most up-to-date and probably the only absolutely fire proof garage in this part of the state. h Special Offer The big daily papers find it necessary and profitable to keep increasing their subscription list, and one of the fastest growers is the Lincoln State Journal. This splendid state daily has just open ed up another big subscription cam paign, offering the paper to Jan- 1, 191 1 for only $2; with Sunday $2.50. This special rate will bring the busi ness. The Journal has a way of its own cutting out a lot ot expensive methods of getting subscribers and making the low rate to its readers di rect. The people of the state as never before are looking to the Journal for the real doings in the state. It is building up its business through le. la bility and enterprise, especially in covering the state ne Another good thing about the kniniul is its policy of stopping every paper when the time is up. If you don't pay for it you don't get it, and when you do pay for it you are only paying tor your own paper, not helping to pay for the one sent some deadbeat. You will like the clean cut methods of the Journal people. T.NVMtMtreTpato The T. N's. had a most joyous meet ing Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. W. R. Pate. All members but one, Mrs. Fisherman, who was absent in Denver, were present. An old fash ioned luncheon certainly made a hit with these ladies of modern fashion. The afternoon was one of the golden ones to mention in one's diary and Mrs. Pate's last entertainment for the club before leaving for her new home in Alliance was one of highest success. Sidney Telegraph. Typographical Errors There are few, if any, newspapers but what make some typographical errors. Ordinarily we believe The Herald will compare favorably with the average newspaper in respect to the small number of typographical mis takes, but last week was an exception. "It never rains; it pours." Circum stances combined to put into The Herald last week more typographical errors probably than had occurred in the paper in any three months previously. The article on "State Capital Removal" contained so many mistakes that we think a little explanation is in order. The editor was sick but still endeavored to'assist some in-the work 01 the office. The article irrquestion was dictated by him to a stenographer and by mistake the transoript of the copy was not read before being sent to the composi tor (type-setter); and to make matters worse, only a small part of the "proof" was read by the proof reader. The Weather For the information of our many readers outsido of Box Butte and adjoining coun ties we will say that this part of Nebraska received a splendid rain last Saturday and Sunday, which puts the ground in eood condition for planting potatoes and corn. A drizzling rain fell for a while this morn ing (Thursday). Notice to Tennis Players Owing to the fact that the number of members in the Alliance High School Tennis Club Is so rapidly increasing, all other persons, not including members of the alumni, using courts will be required to pay $5 00 per season. Any member of the alumni who has not at any time been a member of the club, but who desires to ue courts, may do so by paying the tisual enrollment fee of 50 cents.

Some voting contests are instituted in which the premiums are the cheap est grade of goods that can be pur chased from mail order houses or irre sponsible non-resident dealers. Ficti- tous prices are placed on them entirely out of proportion to their real value. Often these contests are conducted by persons who travel from town to town for that purpose, and who have no in terest in the persons who become can didates in the contest and who are not concerned as to whether they are pleased with the prizes or not. In the Herald voting contest, bow ever, it will be noticed that all the pre miums offered are secured from reliable home dealers; that the premiums offer ed are all of the highest grade and are worth the prices named. The 300 piano is the same instrument that the Bennett Company sell from their Alli ance store for that price, and the guar antee that accompanies it will be the same as that which accompanies instru ments sold for cash. The celebrated Free sewing machine sold by Geo. D. Darling has an abso lute guarantee for five years. You are invited to see the machine and the guarantee at Mr. Darling's store. The S30.00 gold watch has been pur chased of F. E. Holsten, at whose store it may be seen. It is a beautiful 14k solid gold U. S. assay, and will prove to be a splendid time-keeper. Mr. Holcten is so well known as a reli able dealer that his goods need no lengthy recommendation as to quality and reliability. The due bills from the Bennett Com pany, which are offered as a part of the prizes, are transferable and will be accepted the same as cash in payment for pianos purchased any time on or before Dec. 1, 1910. Uncalled For Letters Following is a list of letters remain ing uncalled for in the postoffice at Alliance, Nebraska, for the week end ing April 25th, 1910; if not called for on or before May 10, 1910, will be sent to the Dead Letter Office at Washington, D.

There is one class of news iterrs in particular which we wish to request in formation about in order that suitable announcements may be made In due time. Properly considered, we think, there is no kind of news that ought to be of more interest to people generally than the announcement of the arrival on this mudane sphere of the masculine aud feminine bits Of humanity that bring joy to the hearts of the happy parents and mean so much every thing for the future of our country. If our friends will furnish us the necessary data we will try hereafter to give this class of notices the promin ence in our columns that they deserve. Card of Thanks We desire to thank the many kind friends and. neighbors who did so much for us in our time of sorrow- May God bless you all is our prayer, Mk. and Mrs. Grandstafi-, and Family.
