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

they occur in quick succession, nud

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.

at the County Fair were displays

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.

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.
