WILL GO TO SCOTTSBLUFF
P. F. Schott, Harry Ciarnowsky, Dr. A. P. Lee and Percy Cogswell were in ScottBbluff on Mon
day and arranged for the "Whirl O' Th' Town" company to play In that thriving little city next Monday
evening. They state that the people of that city took hold of the proposition with a will, Mating that a
company of this slse had never been In Scottsbluff and that they wanted them. Over eighty tickets were
old by the boys and a crowded house was promised.
A special train will be engaged to take over the Alliance bunch Monday, the train returning that
night after the show. It Is expected that about one hundred Alliance people in addition to the company
will go. As electric lights are necessary In a play of this kind and as the Scottsbluff plant has been out
of commission for some time, chiefly on account of trouble regarding the franchise, it Is a surprise to
learn that the citizens got together and agreed to have lights for that evening, one enterprising and en
thuslastic gentleman agreeing to furnish th necessary conl at his own expense. This assures the Alliance
people that they will have a grand success in our sister city. The Herald will be represented and will give
a full account of the play away from home. Mr. Harry Williams, the director, will return to Alliance Sat
urday, give rehearse! on Sunday and go wltl, the company to Scottsbluff.

GREAT JUMPING BULLFROGS
That's what a prominent business
man of Alliance said the other night
when he was watching the business
men's gym class at the High school
going through some difficult gym
nastic stunts But he caught the
fever and in a few minutes had bor
rowed a gym suit and rubber soled
shoes, and was hard at work with
the rest, swinging the dumb bells
and going over the "horse" like a
veteran.
This gym exercise gets In your
blood and aftei the first time or two
when the soreness has had time to
get worked out, you wouldn't miss
It for a farm In eastern Nebraska
where It's worth $200 an acre.
Why does It get in your blood and
why does every man who has joined
the club want to keep right in? The
following poem, which was coniosed
by one of the expert basket ball
players while waiting between halves
the other night may answer the ques
tion Read it anyway; then sing It
over and next Tuesday or Thursday
evening at seven-thirty wend your
way to the High school with a gym
suit, rubber shoes and a good, rough
bath towel, and join the club. After
the exercise you'll take a fine show
er bath and go home feeling as if
you could whip the whole Japanese
army and navy if they ever come to
war. Here is the poem:
Tune, "Coming Thru the Rye."
Everybody should be healthy,
Whether fat or slim;
Everybody can't be wealthy.
But they can have vim.
Healthy bodies can be wealthy
If they're kept in trim;
If a body would be healthy.
Get It in the Gym.
Everybody when they hustle
Keep from being dim;
Everybody needs to tussle,
Or they will look prim;
Everybody needs m tna muscle
In their ev'ry limb;
When a body wants some muscle,
Get it In the Gym.
Everybody should be cheerful,
Cheerful to the brim;
Anybody can be fearful
It they have the whim
Anybody can be tearful;
Tears but make us grim. -If
a body would be cheerful
Get it in the Gym.

THIEVES ROB STORE
One of the Alliance dry goods
stores has been missing quantities
of valuable lace and embroidery for
some time, so a careful watch wua
kept for the thief.
On Friday a certain woman, well
known about town, was observed
handling some valuable lace on a
show table, and although the day
was warm, she had her muff with
her.
To the surprise of the clerks watch
ing, she appropriated several yards
of the lace and thinking she was
not matched, slipped it in her muff.
Although she was not arrested at
the time, it is probable that she
will be taken into court if the theft
occurs again.
