A real Missouri man is in town.
He is a second cousin to Jesse
James, so goes to the picture shows
to ee the wild west plays. Then
on Sunday he buys the five cent
yellow backed stories about the
James Boys, and Wild Bill, the Dosul

Thts was proven the other evening
when he helped himself to all th'
cigar butts which had been left in
the receiver at the show.
We understand that some of the
members of the Alliance football
team felt so elated over the out
come of the game on Sunday that
they took a nice long walk through
the countrywide after the game. It
is reported that they returned to

get rid of football bruises Is to walk
them away.

An Alliance man who has been
rather fast in his younger days
which was not so long ago seems
to have lady friends in different
points in the U. S. In fact suspic
ions have been raised on bis con
duct locally, if reports are correct.
A few weeks ago, while one of the
operators In the telegraph office
was relaying messages to Chicago,
the Chicago operator interrupted
and asked the local operator, "Say,
Is there a fellow by the name of
working at In Al
liance?" The operator did not
know so he asked someone else and
was told that the man was In Alli
ance working at the place asked
about. "Is he married?" asked the
Chicago man. "There's a lady work
ing In the office here who says she
Is an old sweetheart of his and she
wants to know if he is married."
The Chicago .mam was informed that
the local maa was married. That
wasn't so bod ,but the story got to
the ears of the Alliance man's wife
and she seems to have taken him by
the ears, for be told the Herald man
that he had to wire to Chicago to
try to prove to his wife that be had
received no message from a woman
there. And he begged like a good
Indian to have nothing said of It.
Some of the people who register

Reported, in Chicago
Chlcago,f III., Nov. 10 Daagme es
timated at over $250,000 bas been
done in this cttjr today by the blia
zard which started yesterday and
continues today. Tbe storm ex
tends from the Mississippi river to
New York and is the worst In many
years. Tbe temperature has dropped
In many places to twenty degrees.
The waves on the lake here are
twenty feet high. The worst dam
age was on Che lake near Llnoola
Park, where mountainous 'waves ar
ried away part of the newly formed
land and damaged three of tie
cribs in the lake. Two club boat
houses were undermined and fell in
to the lake.
The lake rose six feet, making a
terrific undertow. Great damage bas
been done to piers, pipes, etc. Twe
men were blown from bridges and
drowned.
Most of the central western states
are under two feet of snow. There
is much suffering among the' poor
and there will be great loss of live
stock.
The damage done to the new land
at Lincoln Park to estimated at
$200,000. Tbe lake front is strew a
with uprooted trees. Much damegs
was done to the Sheridan road boule
vard, waves washing away part of
the boulevard along the shore.
Captain Carl In, of the life savers,
says that it is the worst storm be
ever experienced and that it Is mir
aculous that scores of lives have
not been lost. It Is impossible to
send aid to stranded vessels as the
life boats would founder.
The schooner Boyee. a mile olf
breakwater, is in danger of sinking.
A large steam freighter is ashore oa
Manitou island.
The damage in the eastern states
is unknown because all wires are
down. The snowfall for one day
has broken all records of the east
ern states. Twice as much show
has fallen as usually falls during tb
entire month of November.
The temperature at Jacksonville,
Florida, its down to forty-one de
grees. Business is almost at a stand
still all over the central west.
Scores of trains are snowbound or
