THREE OF A KINO Judas Iscariot. Benedict Arnold end Edward Rlcord. these three names will go down in history a synonym of nil that I diabolically iMMlMrOWI. Until recently that were hut two names that Stood out mt such, beyond all others, hut now the mime of a Kansas harher, Ed ward Rlcord. Is added, and It Is not training a point to put him hi the an me class wMh the other two. Near the village of Shady Hend, Kanss, a young lady. Miss Chamber lulu taught school. A prejudice ex Med against her In the community . and a number of men if men such curB may be called derided to drive her from the community by the He ere mean of applying a coat of tar. They planned to meet on a certain night last August at a lonely spot on country road, the said barber, K) ward Rlcord, was promised $6.00 to bring the young lady o them. In order to decoy her, he Invited her to attend a dance with him that night, and umier this pretence he drove with her In a buggy to the place agreed upon and delivered her Into the hands of the brutal men, who had already provided themselves with a bucket of hot tar. They tripped her of her clothing and pread the tar over her body. The whole affair was one. of the moat fiendish and contemptibly mean of anything that we have ever heard of and every person connected with the perpetration of the brutal as sault ought to be punished severely, but especially the man who for the paltry sum of $6.00, betrayed the young woman Into the hands of the other scoundrels. It has been sug gested that the people of the county in which this occurred ought to give him a liberal dose of the same pun ishment, but The Herald's opinion Is that tar is too good for a man of that stripe He and the rest of the cul prits ought to be given adequate le gal punishment, if possible. stwtnnce of that kind, it sometimes happens that we receive Information about interesting local happenings Just a little too late for publication We wish again to request the friends of the paper who have items for pub licatlon to furnish the same as early as poHslhle. A WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS In last week's Issue was an Item In regard to correspondents and as sistant local editors getttng In their Hems for publication as early as possible We wish to make an add! tlonal suggestion to correspondents who send their news for publication by mall, and that is that they mail their Items as soon as possible after they are written. Iast week we re ceived a communication for public a lion from one of our most esteemed correspondents It was dated on Tuesday but did not reach our office until Friday morning, evidently not having been mailed until Thursday. We greatly appreciate the news sent us for publication by country oorre- spondent and from neighboring towns, but we very much prefer pub Mailing them the same week they are written . VOCABULARY STRAINED The two Hay Springs papers are having a tilt that is straining the Billingsgate vocabulary of one of the editors. In last week's Issue he calls' his competitor a "tool", "liar of the darkest hue", and "Idiot hire ling". If all the business men of the town would publish such slush about their competitors, wouldn't It be nice? And wouldn't people flock to that town to trade? Hut if men en gaged In the printing business have a right to publicly call their compet ttors liars and idiots, why not men engaged In othor lines of business do the same In regard to their compet iters? MEMORIES I thought 1 had forgotten, but today 1 bought some flowers from a rag ged child Whose great, brown eyes grew ten der as she smiled And thanked me in her simple, art less way; And then l all came back the day In May, The brown-eyed, barefoot girl with hair blown wild hout her cheeks the flowers -and the mild. Soft air of spring the words 1 could not say, So great was my confusion. Now I know It matters not how far our paths may part, Whatever life may bring me year by year, Your face will follow me where'er I go. And though my lips may utter lies, my heart Will cry out over all, "I love you, dear!" James William Callahan DINNER AND CONCERT There will be a grand Thanksgiv ing dinner November :?0, In Marks' Hall, from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m., for the benefit of the A. M. K. church, dinner H6 cents.

Reed has had printed a school direct ory for 1911-12, of Box Butte county, giving the names and post office ad dresses of all the school district of ficers and teachers. In addition to the names of school officers and teachers, some other information Is given in the directory that will he helpful to persons interested In the public school work.

NEW GROCERY IN ALLIANCE Kaiser & Davidson Is the name of 4he firm that last week opened a new grocery store In a pait of the building occupied by T. M. Burrows' eocond-hand store at 206 Box Butte venue. The firm Is composed of O. A. Kaiser and W. 1). Davidson. Mr. Davidson has been a resident of Alliance for some time and Is well acquainted here. Mr. Kaiser has a ranch twelve miles east of Crawford and came to Alliance about a month ago for the purpose of going Into business here. He makes his home with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Kaiser, who returned in September from Florida after about a year's residence m that state. While this Ann occupies only a part of the room In which they are located, they ex pect before a great while to have the entire room, as Mr Burrow has decided to close out his entire stock of second hand goods as soon as pos sible. This will give Kaiser & Da vidson plenty of room. The Herald peaks for them a liberal patronage from the people of Alliance and vi cinity They m.ui out right by or dering m advertisement In fhe Her Id Pat some time past The Herald has wanted to stir up the people of this city in regard to the matter or furnishing the Alliance Volunteer Nye Uepartinent with better equip ment. We doubt if any other town in the state has a more efficient volunteer fire department than Alli ance has, but some other towns have very much better equipments for their depart uients. If the members of the fire department are willing to donate their work for tlie protection of the city, which is no small mat ter, the city ought to furnish them with adequate equipment, the same to be paid for either from the city funds or by private donations. We hope that a more liberal policy to wards the A. V. F. 1). will be adopt ed without delay. ln another place in this Issue of The Herald Is a notice of the Fire men's Annual Ball to be held next Monday night, the proceeds to be used for the benefit of the Fire De part ment. Now It happens that the editor of this paper has "a Method 1st foot," but notwithstanding that, we are heartily in sympathy with the object for which this money Is being raised and win he glad to give our dollar Just the same. We hope that many others besides those who at tend the ball will feel as we do a- bout this and help to swell the fund to such proportions that it will be of material benefit to the Department. Rev. Franklin McNeill, pastor of the Uaptist church, had Intended when resigning the pastorate to leave Alliance next week, but as the weather was so fine t he first of this week and will be uncertain for some time to come, and as he wished to drive his horse as far as to Custer county, he started on last Monday, going via Bridgeport. Mrs. McNeill and the little daughter left on the train a few days later for Custer county. During their residence In this city they made many friends who sincerely regret to see them leave. Before leaving Mr. McNeil called at The Herald office and expressed his regret in leaving Alliance. It was only because of his earnest desire to complete his schooling, and thai lie now has the opportunity of a life time to do so. that he decided to re sign his pastorate here. "WE SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED' CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sincere thanks to the people of Alliance, and especially to the business men, for their assistance given to me since tho accident by which I lost both of my hands. I want one and all to know that I fully appreciate their kindness. W. P. ALLBEE. THE SELFISH BRUTE The usual crowd was gathered at the New York end of the Brooklyn bridge, waiting for trollycars. An elderly lady, red m the face, flus- t rated and fussy, dug her elbows in to convenient ribs, irrespective of owners. A fat man on her left was the re ci pleat of a particularly vicious jab. She yelled at him. "Say!" He winced slightly and moved to one side. She, too, side-Btepped then thump ed him vigorously on the back. "Say!" she persisted, "does it make any difference which of these cars I take to Greenwood Cemetery?' "Not to me, madam," he answered slipping through an opening in the crowd.- Ladies' Home Journal. 1 FIREMEN'S ANNUAL BALL 1st. The name of the corporation shall be THE ELLSWORTH SUPPLY COMPANY. 2nd.
