England. March II, I !!.!. Elltor Herald. Allinnce, Nebr. Dear Sir: The Alliance pap I last dated March 18th. have Just reached us and with the letters received by same mail. Rave us the first news we have received of the blizzard of Mar. 1.1th. The papers hrre have given some graphic details of the tornado or cyclone which struck Omaha and vicinity Easter Sunday and the awful destruction wrought by that and the floods which covered Ohio and Penn sylvanla afterwards. It is fortunate indeed that no live were lost in our part of the country, although we notice that the stock loss has run into thousands of dol lars. It seems almost incredible that such devastation has been wrought In that part of the country we so late ly passed through when we consider how fortunate we were in having such an exceptionally fine sea voyage and have had delightful weather here most of the time since our arrival. We reached West Kirby last night about 10:;10, returning from London, and sat up until about l:.10 this morning absorbing the news contain ed In the correspondence and papers which had come here during our ab sence and are now anxiously await ing more definite nemo of the storms of Easter week, particularly, from Omaha. My lost letter contained a refer ence to a trip made to Liverpool tout in writing I overlooked one point worthy of mention. They are still using the overhead wire for the cur rent for their street care all double deck cars -but on practically all the main streets In place of having these wires supported by poles placed along the curbs, they are carried on arms extending from either side of orna mental posts placed in the middle of the streets, these posts being sur mounted with an electric light, thus serving the double purpose of carry ing the wires and lighting the stii etB. In London, street cms KM not such a prominent feature, but where they are used, the third rail furnishes the propelling DOW4 r. Tlie common conveyance in Lon don Is the motor omnibus. These buses are quite as convenient, if not more so, as the street cars and one very con'--lr-' '-tUrr If that the passengers can bwuti and alight toon them right tit the curb instead of getting out into the crowded stive ta. In addition to this they traverse all the streets of the city, whereas the street cars e over only certain streets. We rikl not spend more than one dollar to see the larger part, of the surface of London from the tops of these buses. To reach the several Important buildings we visited, the underground railway appealed to us best as the service is very good and carries one all over town in a vary short time. Crystal palace Is in the suburbs and to roach that yesterday we went on the overhead steam road, returning to London Bridge on the overhead vjlectric. We left West Kirby at 8:30 a. m March 29th, changed to an express train eleven miles from here and Tower Rrldge to the Tower of Ion don. Monday morning the first place of Interest was this Tower of London, the ancient palace, fortress onrtaon. Here we met our first disappoint ment, thla bflng brought about by the suffragettes. Everything In and about the Tower was freely shown to u." except the Crown Jew and hese were not on view and have not been for two months, aa these belllgerant ladles seem to think them legitimate chjects on which to express their sentiments. The -entries on duty, the Beef-enters In their old style garb, and the historic areata connected with this place It would appear would create some feeling of nwe In anyone else, but I guess the tadlee think desperate needs require desperate M DM dies. A heart fog hung over London all day Monday, but with the aid of the ev er ready policemen a moat efficient and imposing body of men we were able .to get around with little diffi culty, the main difficulty when it did occur, being to distinguish a pollce mnn in the fog. lunus letter gnl two The funeral of Viscount Wolseley took place in St. Paul's Cathedral Monday morntaig and this being u st,, i funeral the streets along the line of the procession were blocked off. Sitting on the top of a bus, we could look over the crowd lined up on the pavements and see the sol diers marching along to take their part in the day's ceremony. Within two blocks of the city we were blocked for about ten minutes while the police lined up the crowds and directed the traffic out of the pro hibited district for traffic, and al though we could not see more than across the street on account of the fog, we could Imagine similar scenes being enacted on all the converging streets about us and were glad when we were finally released. Krom the Tower we went to the Crystal Palace. This, as all know, is a pleasure resort for all Londoners and all visitors to London and la reached by rail in about 20 minutes from London Rrldge. The building is practically all glass set In steel and is a wonder from an architectur al and mechanical standpoint alone. tiaB a central nave 1,600 ft. long with several aisles leading off it, un or gan with 4.'!84 pipes and an orches tra to accommodate a chorus of 5000 persons. There ore 200 acres of tastefully laid out gardens surround ing It and in and about the gardens can be found every kind of amuse ment the pleasure seeker may de sire, Both Inside, and outside the building: arc commodious la net rooms and curios of all nature abound lu re We had only a few hours there, but would have enjoyed spending at least three days, and in-tend of three days in London we would have pre ferred three weeks, for while I have erd avored to convey to you some impression of what, we did no) sea would fill several volutins from the Den of one who has been over the ground we did not have time to vis it. Yours sincere! v, A. T. . LIJNN. Cream on the Increase Ardmore (S. D.i American, April Hi Frank Downey, traveling repi . sent ative of the Alliance Creamery Co. of Alliance, Nebr., showed us cream ery record a few daj s ngo Indicating the amount of cream shipped from tin ;!5 or 40 tributary stations. Ard mor was fifth on the list in the anicjv; of cream furnished. The lo cal n I'd slinUM Mil Infrttuui. frnm reached London five hours from the ' ten enni St cream shipped during the time of starting, a dhrance of 'JH month of March last year to :5: cans miles, stopping enroute at only three for the same month this year 1 his is indicative of the fact that the people In this territory are wak ing up to a realization that the dairying part of the agricultural In dustry is a most important branch, too profitable to be neglected. Should the proportionate Increase be as great fcr a few years to come it will not be long before Ardmore can produce much larger quantity of that precious butter fat.

There is nothing slow about travel ing here by rail, our average .speed on this trip being at least 50 miles per hour, the only time we slowed up being when going through the larger towns, and on the return trip lost night with the same stops, ffe covered 180 miles, to where we had to change for West Kirby, in four hours even. Their dining car ac commodations do not equal ours but the meals served are excellent and at reasonable prices.
