C. hall last Monday evening was attended by a good sized crowd and it was-- certain ly an event of the season. The fishing pond, erected in the hall, was well patronized and brought in a good sum for the order. Y. P. C. U. SOCIAL The Young People's Christian I'n ion of the I'nlted PreBbyterlan church held a very pleasant social at the parsonage Tuesday evening, following the same with a business meeting. A number of old fashioned games were played to the delight of all. The menu for the supper kept those who were not previously post ed guessing, until the courses were served. Following is the Menu Small Boy's Standby Dissolved Diamonds An Oriental Square ( '"mmunicatlon Cordial Cupid's Rations Crystalized Nectar Infant's Delight A Never Failing Dessert Quaking Fruit A Product of the Desert Fire, of Unknown Origin, Destr oys Catholic Church. To be Rebuilt Vary Soon. The Alliance firemen were put to a very severe test last Sunday morning when the Catholic church, which Is located one block east of the Drake hotel, caught fire from an unknown cause and all but burned to the ground. The building was of frame con struction, and had stood for many years. At about three o'clock Sun day morning the fire was discovered and the alarm turned in at once, the firemen arriving In a few minutes. However, the freezing cold tem perature hindered them greatly, the water freezing as fast as thrown from the hose As will be seen by the picture of the burned building given herewith, the shell only of the building was saved, the roof having fallen In. The large bell, weighing 1,500 lbs., and valued at $700, was taken down the day after the fire, the firemen protecting It from most of the flames. The Insurance carried amounted to $4,000. The building and furniture ware valued at $6,600, making a total loss of $2,500. As there was a fire In the furnace of the church, this Is given as the reason by some. However, the fire did not seem to start In that part of the building, and crossed electric light wires might have been the cause. Ihjbm rati SaWfa.

The residence was specially decor ated for the occasion, and the an nouncements, which were sent out on cardboard cut hatchet shape, brought out a great many. Cherry pie and other 1 Vlierr fond were ::ervd. The boosters'' did good work That 000004 be denied and the Alli ance people knew It to be a fact when they got off the train at BcOtta bluff Monday afternoon and found a long line of BOtOfl ready to transport them to the hotel and around that thriving little city. In western Nebraska the word Scottsbluff has come to mean "boost" and every time that that city gets an opportunity to boost they certain ly do it right Whenever a delega tlon wants to come over to Alliance they will be more than welcome. The opera house, which Is large and commodious, was crowded from bottom to top, and In spite of the fact i hat the fare of the troupe a mounted to quite a little, $1:17 was cleared for the night. It would take a pretty good traveling theatrical troupe to clear that much at one night The Star had printed the large cut of the company which was loan ed to them by the Alliance Herald in their issue on Friday, and the ex cellent advance agent work ot the Alliance boys up and down the river brought out big crowds from the oth er tow us. The Alliance people who were In the audience claim that the troupe did better at Scottsbluff than they did at home. The only incident to mar the whole evening was the atti tude of the opera house manager or owner who seemed to have the Idea that he was the manager of the troupe and one or two of the Alliance boys were on the point of throwing him out of the building several times during the performance. Doubtless he doesn't see a play of this magnt tude very often and desired to make h!s presence felt The trip was made in throe spec ial cars, which were crowded to the limit. A dame wa titOO after the show und wus enjoyed by mauv un til i lain nine. A dance will be gien by the Klks an their hall tonight. The Woodmen will give a dance on Monday night at their hall.
