Nebraska BEGINNING OF HORSE Alliance starts out as a horse mar ket with a couple of aales that were successful beyond the anticipation of those who promoted them. As has been pointed out In The Herald, this e:ty Is exceptionally well located as a point where breeders and buyers can be brought toother. We are Informed that the horse raised In the country tributary to Alliance are of an exceptionally Rood grade, which fact the buyers here laat week seem ed to realize, a was shown by their bidding. We are glad to inform the many readers of this paper that these sales are to be continued, and tbus Alliance comes to the front at once as one of the leading horse martlets of the west. The Herald will keep Its readers posted on the progress of these sales, aa well as containing much otner matter that will be of special inter eat to stockmen and farmers, both breeders and buyers. Wilson, Lewis A Wright Sale The horse sale under the manage ment of Wlleon, Iewls ft Wright was held according to the advertised date. Thursday and Friday of last week. This sale was advertised to consist of about six hundred horsea but the number actually sold was fjve hundred forty. Buyers were pre sent from Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Wyoming and Mon tana, in fact few sales In the west have attracted so good a crowd of buyers. The Omaha Horse ft Mule Company of South Omaha, which Is fast becoming a great facter in the Nebraska horse market, was repre sented by H. C. Proctor together with ('has. F. Mitchell, Ed. Htlllker, Wm. Antrim and 0. C. Smith of Al liance. All of these men were strong on the market for all good classes of horses and each one made friends for himself by his courteous conduct while here. Bradstreet Clemens of Grand Island were represented by their president. Thomas Bradstreet, and W. I. Blaine, Mr. Hoofta, Mr Scott. Sam Parker and Mr. Fuller. This firm was a great stimulus to the sale, all of their buyers being bidders upon all classes of horses W. R. Rosa of the firm of Boss Brother, Texas, was a strong bidder at the ring; side, he having purchas ed something over two hundred head of horses at a cost in excess of twen tv thousand dollars. lAmong the consigners of the sale were Hignell Brothers who sold six head of unbroke geldings at $137.50 each. Herman Peters of Hay Springs received the highest price for un broke horses, having sold one mare tot 185. W. Q. Wilson of Antloch old a string of three year old geld tafia at $96 and a jstrlng of broke geldings at $122. The market went strong for horses of good size and bone but showed a weakness l accord ance with all other market for the lighter class of atuff. As a whole the sale can be class ed as a great success as both buy er and sellers seemed eminently satisfied with the management. The (ja t date of the next sale has not be n set but wiH likely be hi the latter part of July or the first of tow uat . Lester ft Son's Sale The sale of lister & Son was ad vertised for Saturday, but it was thought best to commence selling as soon as the other sale was complet ed on Friday afternoon, and it was well enough that they did as the Friday selling lightened the work for Saturday. The preceding sale did not seem to lessen the interest in this one, which was one of the best ever held in western Nebraska. Over four hundred head were sold. There were plenty of sellers but there were also plenty of buyers, all horses brought In being soJd at good prkcu. These gentlemen claim to have tak en the initiative in the horse mar ket proposition, and The Herald wishes to commend them for their enterprise. H. P. Coursey of Alli ance and P. L. Fuller of Grand Is land did the selling. Colonel Cours ey is well known in this part of Ne braska as a successful auctioneer and Colonel Fuller is one of the best known horse salesmen in the state. Lester a- Son will hold another horse sale here some time during this month. The exact date has not yet been decided upon, but will be announced in due time in this papar.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS Alliance Fruit Company's Business Demonstrates Alliance's Desirable Location CONSTANTLY ON INCREASE A DAY AHEAD OF TIME Owing to the glorious Fourth which comes on publication day this year, thia issue of The Hreald Is printed on Wednesday Instead of Thursday. We have secured a fairly good bunch of local news, but of course the a mount Is a little short of what It would be If we did not print until the regular time. You know what Parker's "Lucky Curve" fountain pens are. While the present stock lasts at Rrennan's you can get a $1.50 pen for $1.00 and a $2.00 pen for $1.35. (30-2-1350) Rev. Father Donnelly made a vis it to Omaha last week, returning to Alliance on Saturday. ' Attorney Burton was attending to legal business on the Platte valley the first of the week. Mrs. M. P. Ryan's name is again on The Herald's subscription list, after having been off for some time. CHANGE AT PARDEY BAKERY C. E. McGee, an experienced bnk er of Scottsbluff, purchased the Pardey bakery the latter part of last week, taking possession on Sat urdny. He Is assisted by A. V Means who with his wife have taken up their resldencein thieclty. Mr. McGee's wife and baby boy are vis iting in eastern Nebraska. They will come to Alliance when they have finished their visit and make their home here. Mr. McGee informs The Herald that he will make some slight changes in the building occupied by the bakery In order to better aecom modat bis rteade. He also contem plates adding a line of confectionery to his business, due announcement of which will be given through this pa- berl The Herald is glad to notice there has been a fine growth made in the wholesale fruit aud produce busi ness of the Alliance Fruit Company, of which A. 1). Rodgers Is president. L. H. Highland, secretary-treasurer and E. D. Mallery, sales manager. Our job department less than two months ago printed two thousand bill heads for this company and la now turning out. four thousand more this week. This is an indication of the growing condition of their busi ness and when It is taken into con sideration that they do only a whole- Bale business, this shows that it has already grown to large proportions. Previous to the sale of the Model Candy Kitchen to Mr. Kewer, pro prietor of the Bee Hive store about a month ago, W. H. Showers made a trip to Utah nad western Colorado with a view to finding a business lo cation. After he had made a thor ough investigation of the business opportunities In that part of the west, he returned to Aluance fully convinced that this city offered him a better opportunity to go Into busi ness than any other place he had visited on his trip and upon closing a deal for the sale of the Model Can dy Kitchen, he purchased an inter est In the Alliance Fruit compuny for whom he has been working since the tenth of June. We believe that there are other lines of wholesale business that could be located In Alliance profit ably. This city is a splendid loca tion from which to serve a large ter ritory in western Nebraska, eastern Wyoming and the southwest part of South Dakota. 7:30 o'clock There will be a meet ing of the Young People's society at the church, Wednesday evening, July 10th, at 7 o'clock CHURCH DEDICATION Immanuel German Evangelical Luth eran Church Dedicated The new Immanuel German Evan gelical Lutheran church at the north east corner of Yellowstone and Sev enth streets was dedicated last Sun day, as previously announced in The Herald. Rev. H. 1, Eggold of Scottsbluff preached in German at the morning service. The dedicatory prayer was offered by the pastor. Rev. Titus Lang, after the sermon. The after noon service was held in English, Rev. Hitlert of Dalton preaching the sermon. The evening service was in German, Rev. Iang, the pastor, preaching. There was a good attendance at the morning and afternoon services, but owing to the rain the attendance was small at the evening service. Before dedicating the church, cash and subscriptions sufficient to cover the cost, of the same had been raised except bIx hundred dollars, for which a loan had been secured payable In six annual installments. A surprise for the pastorandthecongregatlon was In store. Geo. G. Gadaby had se cured donations amounting to one hundred sixteen dollars to be pre sented at the dedication service. This was a very agreeable surprise. Dinner and supper was served by the ladieB of the congregation to the guests, all of whom were made welcome. TREAT THEM KINDLY What is Your Time Worth? I Postmaster and Postal Clerks Work ing Free of Charge Postmasters and postal clerks, be ing in the employ of the government, are commonly looked upon as public servants, which they are, and some times some members of said public take it upon themselves to order their servants around In no gentle manner; but as the post office peo pie are now working free of charge, it might be well for the public t o treat them well and thus save them selves the Inconvenience of a mail seiivice strike. Employes of the post office depart ment have no legal claim for ser vices, and are under no obligation to render the same, unless payment has been provided for by an appropria tion by congress. An appropriation bill recently passed by congress for that purpose contained some things to which Prseident Taft Objected, consequently he vetoed it. This be ing the case postmasters could close up their offices If they chose to do so, and postal clerks could go on a strike without danger of getting in to trouble with the department Postmaster Tash and his force of clerks and carrierawUI not take ad vantage of their opportunity of en joying a vacation of indefinite length, but The Herald suggests that patrons of the office treat them very nicely until the present difficulty has been passed.

The Nebraska Land and Auto Co. keeps up its pace in selling automo biles, heretofore mentioned in The Herald. The large number of sales is due to several things that we might mention, among which are the prosperity of the purchasers, the pop ularity of the machines sold, the re cognized reliability of the firm hand ling them, and last but not least, the fact that the dealers believe In using printer's Ink in letting the pub lic know about what they have for sale.

PRAISES ALLIANCE AND BIG CONVENTION Editor of Grant County Tribune Well Pleased with Reception Received at Stockmen's Convention COMING AGAIN TO ALLIANCE Our old friend, Charley Bassett, ed itor of the Grant County Tribune, was one of the big crowd of Hyan nls people who attended the recent Stockmen's convention. He was well pleased with the cordial reception and entertainment received here, and this Is what he says about it in his paper last week: The Stockmen's Meeting The Nebraska Stockmen's associ ation 17th annual meeting in Alli ance on Thursday, Friday and Satur day of last week, proved to be one of the most successful, profitable and entertaining ever held since Its or ganization, the attendance being lar ger than usual. The entertainment, for visitors at this session was, perhaps, more var ied and pleasing than heretofore. If we can judge from the expressions of satisfaction made by those who have been in attendance for a num ber of years, one feature making this possible being the apparently un stinted hospitality extended by all citizens of Alliance, and a feature thai has never before been prominent on the occasion of these meetings. Agent. Pretyman, of the Burling ton, informs The Tribune that he sold an even 60 tickets from Hyan- nls to Alliance, and at least t w o- thirds of that number have advised The Tribune that the manner in w hich they were welcomed, and , en tertained while there, Incites a de sire for them to again become the gn.sts of thati city. rostniaster Ira h.. rash, who i s president of the Box Butte Fair as soclation, had charge of the elabor ate entertainment program and, al though he was kept busy first here, then there, every feature was given without, a bobble, ami not lor one minute during the three days did .Mr. 'fash's temper or serenity ap pear ruffled, being at all times ready to do something to add to the comfort and pleasure of visitors.

C. McCorkle returned Thursday from llysham, Montana, where she had spent a couple of weeks with her daughter. Mrs. Frank Dunning, who is now recover ing nicely from a severe illness of seven weeks' duration. The families of A. J. Cole and W. H. Zehrung left with a tent yesterday on 303 to camp in the valley near Scottsbluff, expecting to return Fri day. They will celebrate the Fourth at that place and find some time for fishing and a general good time. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Blain of An gora moved to Alliance this week and now reside in their new house in Duncan's Addition. One of their principal reasons for moving to this city Is to secure the benefit of the excellent schools for their daughter. Capt. W. H. Corbin returned the fore part of the week from Chicago where he attended the big pow wow known as the republican national convention. Now don't anybody in reading this article say anything a- bout Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs. Verne Cole and daughter arrived in Alliance last Friday for a week's visit. They now reside in Kansas City, where M r. Cole is engaged In the grocery busi ness. He was formerly agent of the Adams Express Co. at Alliance. They have a large circle of friends here who are pleased to learn that! they are pleasantly located in Kanas City, where Mr. Cole is doing well in business. They leave Alliance tor the west tomorrow, going from here to Spokane. After visiting that city they will make a trip down the coast, stopping at various points of interest. . . NOTICE TO CREDITORS More than half of summer school is already with the past. The weeks have flown as they ever do alas! at llian e Junior Normal. This week we reap the fruits of self-denial ex ercised last Saturday to the extent of attending school as on the other five week days, instead of disporting ourselves in the unfretted freedom of those for whom Monday has no ter rors until it dawns upon them, or in the studious leisure of the pru-denu School is to close for the majority Wednesday noon and will not reopen till 8:00 a. m. Monday morning, when it is hoped all who have survived the celebration of the fourth sane or "as usual" will foregather once a- gain with energies sufficiently re newed to carry them to the end of the term's work in one long glorious spurts The chapel program this week has been as follows: Tuesday Vocal so lo, Miss Nell Acheson; Wednesday reading, Mtes Evalyn McBurney; Thursday vocal solo, Miss Helen Broome; Friday piano selection, Mrs. Zediker; Saturday reading and a brief talk to teachers, Mrs. Rowan; Monday Talk by R. L El liot, deputy state superintendent; Tuesday musical sketch and read ing, Miss Leone Mallery, accompan ied by Miss Meuiah Smith. The writer cannot help referring once more to the great pleasure experien ced by those privileged to be pres ent at the chapel hour, by the kind ness of the talented' ladies and gen tlemen who give us of their time and skill on these occasions. His only regret, is that he has not been able to give in these notes a detailed ap preciation of the items rendered. Sev eral in the past whose performances were of the first order not havliig even been mentioned by name. The athletics in the gym continue to pursue the even tenor of their way, normal and high school students joining as usual in having a good rousing social recreative time for mind and body. Last Friday was tin grand match for faculty and stu dents. So far as the writer could learn, everybody won! R. I, Elliot, deputy state superin tendent, was with us Monday, and gave an inspiring talk enlivened with several humorous anecdstes which had a familiar flavor. He paid Sup erintendent Pate a marked compli ment in the course of his remarks, though he did not in that direction tell us of anything of which we were not previously aware. The writer has heard Mr. Elliot .speak to teachers before and heartily hopes to have the pleasure again. Bright Ideas (Guaranteed original and copyright by the author of the' notes".) "Friendship" is a continuous mu tual a. tiv i confidt nee not a succes sion of bribes, spiritual or material, given or exchanged. Great is the value of silence: It is like a sea or rest; a refuge from perplexity and from the double-edeed fcriine of foolish words. Such a si lence, however, is not the mere ab sence of speech, it is an art, to be acquired by effort, unless inborn, and its right exercise requires the poses sion of many precious qualities. How vividly and deeply are we im pressed and influenced by the person ality of others. Yet a man's exter nal being refers, like history, chief ly to the past. It is a record and an indicator not an infallible pre diction. POEM "Beware", or The "Pack Rat": "This world that we're a llvin' in" Is full of mischief makers.
