Enterprising Woman Suffrage Club
at Chadron Give Dance and
8upper Movement Gain
ing in Chadron
If all woman suffragists in Ne
braska were as energetic and enter
rliiing as they are in Chadron there
would bo no doubt about the equal
suffrage amendment carrying at the
elepotlon next fall. The Chadron
Woman Suffrage Club recently gave
a dance ln the Loumer opera house
of that city, which was well attend
ed and netted the ladies a neat sum
of money with which to push the
movement.
There was a large and orderly
crowd of people in attendance and
the dancers enjoyed themselves
greatly. The Gregory six-piece
orchestra furnished the music. Dur
ing the evening supper was served
on the stage of the opera house, the
table being waited on by young la
dles.
According to the Chadron Chroni
cle the woman suffrage movement Is
gaining very rapidly In Chadron, and
aside from the club work itself the
ladiles have seen opportunities to . do
much o'.her good work. Their meet
ings are not for the purpose of dls-
cussing frivolous questions but those
on educational lines such as will
better tit all to cast an Intelligent
vote, should they be given the right
of franchise.

Large Crowd Witnesses First Game
of Basketball of Season Alli
ance Wins Easily from
Valley Team
The Alliance High School team
won the first basketball game of the
season when they defeated the Mit
chell aggregation at the High School
gymnasium Saturday night, score be
img 39-13. Every man on this year's
local team has played before, thus
insuring a very good team this year.
It Is predicted tha the Alliance
boys will win every game played this
season. This la Mitchell's first year,
and, taking Into consideration the
experience of the two teams, put up
a good showing. Their team work
at the beginning of the game was
superior to that of the Alliance
boys, but the visitors were unable
to iocate the basket. The fact that
a large and enthusiastic crowd was
In attendance at the first game of
the season is proof that there will
be unusual interest displayed in the
contests this year. The High School
students had their usual amount of
yells for the game.
The game started by a Mitchell
man,- Cass, fouling. The free throw
for Alliance was mlseod by Schafer,
who soon afterward threw the first
field goal of the evening. Several
good passes were made by the Alll-
it. boys which resulted in scores
for the local team. One long pass
was made by Spacht, while on his
knees, passing across the field to
Deach, who tosaod the ball into the
basket. A pretty, goal was also made
by Darnell, who slipped under his
guard and made a clear throw.
Although out of the hospital only
a short time, following an operation
for appendicitis, Deach played an ex
cellent game. He lead In the scor
ing by making six field goals. "I
am feeling all right, and could play
another half," remarked Bench after
the game. All of the boys seemed
to lack "wind" but one or two hard
games will remedy thla.
The next game will probably be
played Thanksgiving Day. Announce
ment will be given in a later issue
of The Herald. '
