ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE
"Twenty-one years ago I fated an
awful death," writes II. L. Martin,
Port Harrelson, 8. C. "Doctors said
I had consumption and the dreadful
cough I had looked it, sure enough.
I tried everything I could hear of,
for my cough, and wan under the
treatment of the best doctor in
Georgetown, 8. 0. for ayear. but
could get no relief. A friend ad
vised me to try Dr. King's New Dis
covery. 1 did so and was completely
cured. I feel that I owe my Hie to
this great throat and lung cure." It's
positively guaranteed for coughs,
colds, and all bronchial affections.

Home Builders
Are Recognized
in every community as men of
integrity and stability. It's
proof that they believe in
themselves and future of their
town. And every home that is
erected in a community makes
it just that much lietter place
in which to live and invent
your money. To most home
builders it means something
to live for a real object in
life an acquisition that once
attained is a joy forever.
That NOW IS A GOOD 1IMC TO
BUHD goes without question
money is plentiful for legiti
mate investment labor is
within reach and our stock of
lumber was never more com
plete.
Remember-He who hesitates,"
etc. better start today -come
in and talk it over with us
may be our experience in the
building line will make it BBBj
for you.

A. P. LEE, Mgr.
As we write these lines, the sev
enth annual meeting of the Nebras
ka Stock Growers Association la
passing into history. The attend
ance has not. been as large at that
of some previous meetings, but we
believe It has been a profitable one.
The 4th of July celebration pro
ceeded the two days of the conven
tion, and passed off nicely, and
might be properly classed with the
"safe and sane" celebrations that
have been so popular this year.
The weather on the 4th was quite
warm, yesterday it was so windy as
to make It disagreeable, but today
the weather is ideal. The crowd as
sembled along Box Butte Avenue
to view the parade. The Herald was
not surprlaed that the attendance
this year was not as large as it has
been some other years, but we were
surprised 'that a larger number did
not participate in the parade. How
ever what it lacked in number. It
made up In quality. If the number
participating had been us large as
on some previous occasions, it might
have been called one of the best, If
not the best, 4th of .luly parades ev
er seen In this city. List of prizes
awarded will be given in our n't
issue.
The races at the park in the af
ternoon were pulled off as per the
program published in The Herald.
The attendance was fairly ood, con
sidering that an admission fee was
charged, but not nearly as large as
last year, when admission wns free
on the 4th.
The inability of Governor Aldriclt
to be present and deliver the ad
dress last night was a great disap
pointment, but as his absence was
unavoidable no censure can be at
tached to any one for it. The tele
gram published June 22nd In The
Herald showed conclusively that It
was the Governor's intention to be
present, and the following from his
private secretary, dated July 5th,
shows clearly why he was not pres
ent: "I. E. Tash, Alliance, Nebr.
The Governor Is unable to leave
his house. He is suffering from an
attack of heat prostration.
I,. B. PULLER, Secretary."
In some retpects, today is the big
day of the convention, not In the
number of people in town by any
means, but in its bearing upon in
dustries that the convention repre
sents in northwestern Nebraska. The
South Omaha boosters arrived yes
terday in a Bpedal car attached to
43. They certainly are a fine lot
of boosters, and are making their
usual good impression.
Next week The Herald will give a
more complete account of the convention.
An Interesting Meeting
The last business session of The
Nebraska Btoek Growers Association
was held this morning. First on the
pro-am was a speech by the Hon.
Willis E. Reed of Madison. Nebras
ka. candidate for United States sen
ator on the democratic ticket. Mr.
Raed made a very Interesting speech
which will be reprinted In the next
Issue of The Herald. He was given
close attention and his remarks re
eeived much applause.
6. K. Warrick of AHanlce made
the second speech on the program,
which will also be reproduced In the
next Issue of this paper. He went
Into the subject of the monetary sit
uation In this country very fully and
his speech showed deep research
and study of the question.
Flavel Wright of Scottsbluff is
very popular with the stockmen on
account of his manner and genial
presence. His remarks on the sub
ject of the most profitable breeds of
horses brought forth much favorable
comment.
The report of President Hampton
showed the deep Interest which the
officers hare given to the affairs of
the Association, and the re-election
of the same executive committee and
officers showed the confidence placed
In them.
The report of the secretary treas
urer, Chas. C. Jameson, of Ellsworth,
shows the financial condition of the
Association to be in much better
stynpe thn aa year ago and that the
rejserve fund on hand is much larger.
;In the next Issue of The Herald
a review of the work done by the
Asso iation during the pas year will
be Riven, and the complete reports
given, together with that of the
brand inspector, which Is ery interesting.
