So That The People Will Know
The patriotic citizens and business men of Al
liance are planning to celebrate the city's twenty
fifth birthday in a fitting manner. On February
28th Alliance will be twenty-five years old and she is certainly a healthy, lively, prosperous youngster. Another
chance to celebrate an event of this kind will not come for twenty-five years and it is UP TO YOU to do your part
in making the banquet on that night an event that will show Alliance in the proper light to the other cities of the
great state of Nebraska. Do not fail to meet with the Business Men's Association at the court house at 8 o'clock
next Monday evening and do your part in helping plan to make this the biggest and best banquet ever given in Al
liance. The Alliance Herald will do its part in advertising the town by issuing a SPECIAL INDUSTRIAL ED
1TION which will be the biggest and most complete ever gotten out. It w ill be crammed full of interesting things
about Alliance, Box Butte County and Western Nebraska. Several thousand copies will be distributed far and wide

APPOINTMENT
Having Worked Hard for Success of
the Democratic Candidates,
Now Wishes Appoint
ment REGISTER U. S. LAND OFFICE
At the. close of the last political
ampuign, resulting in the election
el' Woodrow Wilson to the prseiden
y, there seemed to be a spontane
ous sentiment la Alliance in favor of
my appointment to one of the three
federal offices at this place. While
many favored my appointment as j
postmaster, 1 believed that if I re
ceived an appointment it ought to be ,
lis- register of the United States land
offirj-JVJ jAlliaiKje. k
I spent much llinc and sonic mon
ey before election working for the
-access of the democratic candidal" .
but have not had much time to
spare from inyother work since elec
tion to devote to my own candiducy;
and did not think it ne-cssary to
publish anything In regard to it un
til I learned that some of my friends
had been led to believe that I was
not a candidate lor appointment, or
that 1 was a candidate fur some oth
er position and thus their endorse
ment secured for another candidate.
I cannot here enumerate my ela-nis
for the appointment, but will say
that if I had not been in hearty sym
pathy with the nomination and eiec
tlon of Woodrow Wilson, 1 would not
now be a candidate for appointment
under his administration.- As to my
polities, 1 am a progressive demo
crat; but as every candidate for ap
pointment under tbe incoming admin
11 ration claims to be "progressive",
I will say that I ;un known in Alli
ance as a "Hi-yan democrat" or
"Hryanite '.
1 shall appreciate any assistance
that friends of progressive demo ra
cy may give me in trying to secure
the appointment as register of the
fa. S. land office at Alliance. I
shall be pleased to hear from read
ers of this article who endorsi my
candidacy.

SHOULD HAVE DRAMATIC CLUB
The comedy druma "We Are
King" was presented, under the man
agement ttt Mr. Frank Dow Hug, by
local talent to a large and apprec i
axlve audience at the Phnlan opera
house Tuesday night. Mr. Dowliog
in the dual part of thai King t
Kahnburg and Uustave Venner gave
an interpretation that could not we'll
be unproved upon. Mr. Dowllng has
an exeeHent presence, good voice
and was especially good in the com
edy parte. His changes of costume
were made with wonderful eelerift
He made an excellent impression in
the first at and created much
amusement and laughter and k ,t
the nudleuce iu good humor all
through u. evening.
Harry Hetebenner, as tBh Xbhn
acted hie part most admirably ami
did not look like a "Relic of Anti
quity" at any time. He spoke iu a
clear voice, his enunciation was very
good and proved himself the right
man. n the rglit place.
Michael Nolan as the Ha ran sus
tained his reputation made in pre
viotis appearances and acted the
Jealous husJiand most admirably. Hla
scene with th? Haroness and the
King in the first at ' wV exception
ally good.
Cecil Suiiili. un the Captain was
"mow military iid thoroughly tcieu
tiric''. lit has a very good voice and
his every word waa distinct.
J. W. Tynan, as lie- Rav. n sur
prised his many friends mosi agree
ably. He win rorceful an.i impress
ive and gave evidence o. much hla-trioni-
ability
Mr. Keegau as Klass gave a re
markable presentation of the cring
ing, ye; r-.r nt fitl, servant and da
servrs mu Ii prnlno for the matin, r
in which he rendered the rather dif
ficult part.
Miss Franc s Locfcwood as the
Princess appeared to m;ir: ! at
advantag. t n.ti r the ncn de
I plume of the Frauleln rherean she
I liKiked charming, received many ea-
comfnnts and much applause at the
1 conclusion of her firsr appearance
: In the second ti:-f. Her -ostunies
; were dim becoming, and when, at
i the finale, shi iipptmred anl dU-
elosed her Identity as the Pi.nctss
of I la run la, was in appearna t and
; inaiiner. trafy regal.
.iiss Kni h ilr- Kniett as J.illa
was rverythhtj to be desired. Am
Ik i nfii.;.ut of the I'ric. u he
was iiitoi t-ir UOi,pC3t. In h r I lei
with the ".-ptain sht was vtry :-oy
and at times I mtalizlng. Her cos
tumes were deinty and very pretty
and she deserved and received much
praise for the manner in which she
interpreted htr part.
Miss KUie Hetebenner, as the
Hiironcss. h;id :he mosr exiting
part, pnos&iy, of the entire play and
handled n a niaiiiK r . ha! aaia -.ed
the entire audience. She was par
ticularly atronc in the emotional
parts, and la the scene with the Ra
vt n iu the st ond u( t portrayed the
jealous resentful woman in a manner
1'iat vva Mirtllmg. Hi r gesturts,
while wiiipl.-. were effective. Her
costumes were beautiful ami she
v i Hi in .a a i.ianii"!' mosi vrace
ful and courtly
Taken all to all we do uot believe
a better rendition has ever been
produced by local talent in Alliance
Miss lleulah Smith presided at the
piano aud delighted those present by
her exquisite playing. She gives
much expression to her music and
uses excellent judgement iu the set
action or her pieces. MY. J. W.
Guthrie appeared to good advantage
111 a Ills- ol( between ! lie second
and third acts and re eived much
applause
We suggest that the young people
of Alliance should organise a dram
atic society and produce good plays
occasionally of this or similar na
tures to their owu advantage and
the pleasure and enjoyment ot their
friends.
