Sixteen Alliance Firms Participate in
Spectacular Parade Last
Night
Best Convention Ever Held
The biggest crowd even- seen on
the streets of Alliance turned out
last evening to witness the big
street parade, which was purticlpflt
d in by sixteen Alliance firm. The
streets were brilliantly lighted and
last evening was one round of en
joyment from start to finish.
Yesterday afternoon the I'.iir
grounds were packed to the limit.
Over 160 autos were parked In the
grounds and ticket takers and ticket
sellers were overworked.
In the parade last evening the mili
tary band led. Chief of Police Jef
fers led, seated on his horse follow
ed by a number of horsemen .nvd al
so horsewomen. Next came K. W.
Ray's flower cart, which won Dratt
prize. It was beautifully decorated
wMli flowers and In It were seated
two little girls. Next came Vaughan
ft Son's float, representing a cool
scene, ted by four horses. On each
side was fastened a block of artificial
loe. The next was Darling's float,
beautifully decorated and showing w
of the new Kdison disc phonographs
which were advertised in yesterday's
Herald. Following came the Bl-kiu II
Grocery Company's float, in .vhirh
was a clown playing one of the con
test pianos. Next was the Mg o I 1
wagon, decorated with Polarlne o i 1
signs. Following came Newberry's
floait, on which was a tiny gasoline
engJne, running a washing machine.
The Zediker Daily Delivery System
followed, with one of its quick deliv
ery wagons decorated. The Alliance
Grocery had an attractive float, dec
orated witli Oha.se & Sanborn's coffee
pennants, in each opening standing a
small boy. The most original float,
in our opinion, was that, gotiten up !jv
Roy Heckwith, proprietor of 'The
Right" clothing store. Snyder's auto
dray had been decorated. On i t
stood a doaen handsome young men,
of all shapes and sizes, ail I dressed
faultlessly iu clothing of different
kinds. Some had evening dress
suits, and at the rear stood two who
were dressed in overalls, each hold
ing a small lamb, guaranteed to be
"all wool". Following this came the
Alliance Cleaning Works float, tast
llly decorated and carrying a number
of handsome young la:lies. Harper's
Toggery float, while h followed, showed
great care and was beautiful. It
won second prize in the float contest.
In it, dressed in white, were Miss
Blanche McDonald, who drove the
auto, and Mrs. Harper. KoMowing
came the members of the Alliance
post of the Travelers' Protective
Association, Post M, fifty strong.
And last, bu; not least, was W. B.
Kewer, proprietor of the Bee Hive,
dressed as an Italian, with hand or
gan and monkey, that made the
small boys shriek with laughter and
the oider folks roar. On the front
of the hand organ was painted, "Do
not let a DA-GO by without shopping
at The Bee Hive." The Shetland
I ponies in a string, with heads tied
j .o tail, created amusement.
Connaught and a brilliant staff, who
saw him safely off British soil. The
trip across the Channel was made
rn a special steamer escorted bv a
squadron of French ami Englir'.i bat
tleships and a destroyer flotilla. It
Is expected that the King will return
the President's visit this fall or next
spring, the latter period being th
more probable as the Kaiser will
want to return, the King's wedding
vlsiw to Berlin before he becomes
too great an admirer of the French.
Numerous foreign anarchists who
temporarily disappeared from their
usual haunts Just before the French
president got here, were today in
formed that King George could not
entertain them any longer, and they
were released from custody. No
charges were formulated1 against
than but Scotland Yard likes to keep
such persons where they can put
their fingers on them on such occasions.

(By the United Press)
CHICAGO, June IT Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds will probably b e
asked today to take steps at cn.se to
stop Jack Johnson in his flight t o
Europe, to escape being sent to the
penitentiary for violation of the Mann
white slave law. It Is believed that
superintendent of the depannieui' of
justice, De Moody, will ask McRey
nolds to return the negro as an ' un
desirable citizen".
Johnson's getaway was no surprise
to his friends and cronies to whom
he has boasted that he would elude
the government authorities, while
out on heavy bond, before being
sent to the penitentiary. Johnson
first went fishing at a W isconsin re
sort, masquerading as a member cj:'

team of Detroit. From there h e
went to Montreal.
Washington. June 27 Every effor
wiil be made by the department of
justice to bring back Jack Johnson
to the United States for punishment
for his crime under the white slave
law. Although the offense is not
extraditable, It is believed that some
means can be secured to bring him
to this country.
Montreal, June 27 At the request
of Secretary ot State Bryan, t It e
Canadian government today ordered
the arrest of Jack Johnson, nending
his deportat ton as an undesh ;Jde im
migrant, if he attempts to remain
in the di.minion. He wore false
whiskers when crossing the border
and otherwise disguising himself.
WILL CAVE MORE SALES
At the horse and mule sale Friday
and Saturday a total of $.!, nun worth
were sold by the Alliance Horse &
Mule Company, who conducted the
sale. 406 head of horses "hanged
hands on these two days, making it
the largest sale of its kind ever con
lueted here. The promoters cf this
sale are well pleased with its success
and expect to have others.

at the meeting of the executive com

The secretary's minutes are not yet
in form to be used as copy for the
printer. The matter that brought out
the inos.it discussion was the report
of the committee on resolutions, be
ing adopted by sections. The section
relating to the tariff brought out
quite a discussion, but. was adopted
by an almost unanimous vote. The
part that a few objected to was the
following: "We favor a general
downward revision of the tariff on
all Imported articles including live
sitock and other food product, and
are willing to stand our pro rata in
-eduction." The nalance of the, se
tion was unanimously approved, as
were all of the other sections
The address of Mr. Tomlinson, the
secre'ary of the National Live Stock
sso i.itlon, was of particular interest
to the stockmen. H!is remarks on
the subject of the tariff were well
received. While he favors a tariff
Is not much alarmed at the pros

subject which he mentioned, probably
of more direct interest to memheis

President Very Tired
(By the United Press)
LONDON, June 27. A very tired
French President donned evening
dre;s this morning at the conclusion
of his first state visit to a foreign
country, and the Loudon detective
force heaved a huge sigh of relief
when they saw his train out of the
station. There were no newspaper
men in the President's saloon but it
is credibly reported that Poinoiare
worked off a big sigh too.
A round of farewell visits with
many exclianges of compliments, "re
inerciementB". etc., preceded the de
parture in state from Victoria sta
tion. Once more the Brigade of
Guards was stuck for lining the route
from Point-hire's quarters to the
train, and several hundred big Life
Guardsmen cursed over having to
e more polish up bre-ast plates
and helmets that they might literal
ly shine on escort duty.
The King and President, with I he
Prince of Wales, drove in a six-horse
state carriage to the station and
the re were inspections of the guard
cf hmor and official leave-takings
to be got through before President
Poind a re was permitted to climb In
to the spe-cial saloon car in whl "b
he traveled to Dover. The farewell
handshake was particularly hearty,
and it was agreed on all sides that
the visit has still furl her cemented

'Is unfair and discriminatory to 'he
great agricultural and live stock in
dustries to put their products on
the free list while maintaining suh
tantial duties on many other com
modities and manufactured articles,
We contend that the stock ra'.-eis i f
