Flower of The Ranch One of the best plays of its kind that Alliance theatre goers have seen in a long time was, "The Flower of the Ranch," given at the Phelan Opera House Tuesday evening to a good house. It is a typical western play, the place being in Tomahawk, California. Mart Franklin, as "Shorty"; Chester Gates as "Dick Spaulding"; John E. Frank, as "Jauk Farnum," owner of the Big Horn Ranch, Mabel de Nordendorf, as "Mar garet Merron" the school marm; and Nel lie Waters, as "Little Flower"; were all very good and handled their parts ver well. But the best and most interesting char acter in the whole play is Jess Harris as "Skivers", a tenderfoot, lie kept the audi ence laughing from the time of his en trance on the scene to the last of the play and every entrance on the stage by him was a laugh for all. As a comedian he is far ahead of anyone we have seen for a long time. His jokes were new and laugh provoking. The company, which consists of 35 people, left in their private car which was attached to number forty-two Tuesday night, their next stop being Grand Island. The demand for room in the new McCorkle Block has been so heavy that part of the space occupied by the large hall upstairs has been partitioned off into a new suite of offices. This is the most modern building in the city, hav ing n fine large heating plant which is adequate for heating the entire build ing in the coldest weather. The I plumbing in this building is complete, there being five complete toilet equip ments upstairs and down. All of the forty-six stales and two territories in the union mav insutge un til the wave crowds the Philippine Is lands out of the ocean. The war cloud may obscure the Balkans like blackest night. Taft and Roosevelt may never make up, The great pow ers can open and shut all the doors they want to. Maine can go demo cratic, nud tho moon may rise in the west- All of these events, should they occur in quick succession, nud should Hallr-y's comet return to again bother the earth, would little bother Assistant Postmaster Frank McFar laud, popularly known to Alliance people as "Mac", for lie knows a piece of news far more important than nny of these. It's a girl, and more joy ous still, Mrs. McFarlnnd's condition is excellent. Mrs. . H. Mann returned Tuesday from a trip to Grand Island. Sam Albro and M. O. New were passengerB west Tuesday. Joe Vaughn lost eight head of cattle on bis ranch last Thursday night by lightning. ,www. Miss Josephine Hoag, of Beatrice, spent last week visiting her sister, Miss Dorothy Hoag. P. H. Ferch of Whitman came up to Alliance Tuesday on business, re turning Wednesday. James Gray, of Gray & Guthrie, re turned Wednesday noon from a bust ness trip to Marsland. Twentyone head of cattle killed by one bolt of lightning one night last week caused a heavy loss to Fred Crawford west of town, The Bennett company has made sev eral sales'of high grade pianos the last week, among them being J.OEf Capron, Geo. J. Downey, and Mrs. Edith Cav eny. ,wwwwww T. W- Freeman of Lewiston, Ida ho, arrived last Thursday for a visit at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. E. Howard. Mr. Freeman thinks of lo eating here. . Henry Carey, who left for a trip to California six wefeks ago returned Tues day- He was much benefitted in health and reports a very pleasant sojourn in the summerlaud. We should have mentioned last week the arrival of a couple of fine little girls at the home of Mr. nnd Mrs. W. R. Drake, Mother and daughters are do ing well and W. R. is doing the house work. -L. M. J. Gayheart of Sioux county, father of Gayheart, the barber, stopped over Wednesday on his way h'dme from Omaha by auto. The trip from Oma ha was made via Orand Island and Sidney. He drove a Fuller'car which sto6d the trip well. " ' Chief Dispatcher A. V. Gayin, of the Burlington, has purchased the resi dence occupied by G. M. Hoag, and belonging to Mr. Moffitt of Denver. He expects to occupy it soon, removing from the property now occupied by him on Box Butte Avenue-Mr- Brackett, special agent for the government, was in Alliance Wednes day looking over the proposed locations for the postoffice site. He could give no information as to what he thought of the different sites, stating that his report was, of course, confidential and that the officials of the department at Washington make the selection. A letter from Rev. K, D. Waterman, formerly pastor of the Methodist church at Hemingford, informs us that he is teaching school at Arvada, Wyo. , and is getting along nicely- He was threat ened with nervous prostration while engaged in the work of the ministry and thought best to make a change in his occupation for a while. Among the live stock exhibits at the County Fair were displays of Jersey Red Hogs and Short Horn Cattle, by J. A. Keegan. Mrs. Keegan also had a fine dis play of poultry. A Little Talk about Groceries The Phillips Grocery Company are in thegro eery business in Allinnce to stay. They buy groceries in small quantities but often that means fresh goods all the. time. Did you ever notice the difference in the groceries you pur chased from different stores? Then every pound weighs full weight. Each order is giv en careful personal attention and is filled ex actly as you desire. Our business is steadily increasing. That means satisfied customers and the right business methods. The next time you order call up phone i or 4 and give us a trial order." We guarantee absolute satisfac- tion. Phillips Grocery Co. The Glaze Marble Works CHAS. GLAZE, Prop. Hemingford, Nebraska ' We receive our marble in car load lots, thus sav ing freight and agents' commissions, which customers must pay when buying from agents of non resident dealers. A full line of Monuments and Headstones in our yard at Hemingford. You can see the marble before ordering and. can examine the work before accepting it. Satisfaction guaranteed.; A Sound Institution No better evidence of the prosperous condition of a community can be found tban the presence in its center of sound financial institutions, They are the Axis around which revolve all the business, of their respective districts Without them our commeVce local, interstate and na tional would be but a passing dream How many people have ever considered the part which the currency of a nation plays in the transaction os business in the general markets of the world and how small a part the currency represents? As shown by the New York clearing house reports only five per cent of the actual business done is covered bv the metallic money and its representative the circu lating note. The importance then, of banking insti tutions will be easily understood- That the people must have some medi um of exchange to facilitate commercial intercourse is self evident and that there must be some means by which the balatic. between commodities and this medium may be kept safe is equally indubitable. 1 he bank js the scle ul o.e function is to keep up tills balance and so well is it ad justed that the clogging of the wheels of commercial activity is practically unknown. The peopli of this town and community have ample cause to feel proud of the First National Hank, for indeed it represents a strength greater than that of banks usually found in cities the size of Alliance, the capital stock of $50,000, surplus of equal amount, and great resources making it a strong institution. drTaTgaiser, - UKNTIST.
