ALLIANCE TAKES FRONT RANK
The annual report of the C. B. A
Q. railroad for 1911, which has bten
recently filed for Nebraska, maken
a good showing altho business was
somewhat lighter at many points
than It was the preceding year.
Four leading cities show a gain in
total business in 1911 over that of
1910, as follows: Omaha, South Oma
ha, Lincoln and Scottsbluff. While
Alliance shows a decrease in busi
ness, k remains near tlte head of
the list in the volume of business
transacted, standing third in the a
mount of money received for tick
ets, only two cities in the state be
ing ahead of it, Omaha and Lincoln.
In total business. Including pafwen
and freight traffic, it stands fifth in
the list,' Omaha, South Omaha, Un
oln and Grand Island being ahead
of it, altho Grand Island leads Alli
ance by only a small amount.

TRAINED BEAR DRAWS CROWD
Louis Luffs trained bear drew big
crowds at the Crystal the first three
nights of this week. In the first per
formance the cheering of t lie crowd
attracted his attention and wsnsed
him to stop and gaze at the people
a 'while, to gratify his curiosity, but
after that he went through with his
stunts without any serious break,
much to the delight of the people
who saw him. This bear is only a
bout eight months old, and with the
talent he now displays will no doubt
make an exceptionally fine show an
imal with a little more training.
ATTRACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT
The Crystal theatre has provided
ah especially attractive entertain
ment for the last three nights of
this week. Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. Chas. Keuhle and Harry J.
