COUNCIL PASSED
ORDINANCES
City Dads Transact Much Ruslness
at Regular Monthly Session at
City Hall Tuesday Night
Tuesday evening's session of the
city council was short but much bus
laces vus transacted. Reports of
the city departments were received.
The appointment of L. A. Twilegar
as night marshall was confirmed.
A petition was presented to the
city council asking that the cluster
light in front of the Mallei y grocery
store be changed to the corner. The
ceuncil, after considering the matter,
decided not to grant the petition. A
petition, asking that the new cluster
lights which will soon be installed
between Fourth .ar.d Fifth streets on
Box Butte avenue, be placed on the
earners instead of the same as the
present lights, was voted against. On
petition, it was voted to install clus
ter lights on Third street, from The
Budweiser corner to the Alliance
Steam Laundry corner.
Mr. Edinborough, Lincoln park
superintendent, who was brought to
Alliance at the request of the Com- !
mercial Club, was present and pre
sented his plan for improving Hie
city park. Jiis plan met with the
approval of tne council. An ordiu
'aace creating a city park board was
passed. The mayor, with the ap
proval of the council, appointed Mon
te Hargraves for the one year term,
F. W. Harris for the two-year term
and E. H. Boyd for tne three-year
term. These men have taken a
great deal of Interest in civic im
provement and the city park, under
their direction, will undoubtedly be
Improved as rapidly as the finances
see aside for this purpose will per
mit. A resolution creating a driver for
the new city motor tire truck, who is
te care for the cit yhall also, was
passed. The mayor appointed L. E.
Pilkington to this position, with the
approval of the council. Mr. Pilking
ton will take up his work as soon as
tne truck arrives, which will be with
in a few days. Attorney E. 11. Boyd
presented a suggestion to the coun-

! ril that met with instant approval,
and that may prove of great value
to the city In surfacing the streets.
Within two and one-half mil"? of
Alliance there Is a large bed of mag
nesia limestone which has been used
on different county roads, one being
only one-half mile west of town.
This limestone, which, is soft when
first taken from the ground, soon
hardens when exposed to the tun and
air, giving the road a surface as hard
as rock and which sheds water near
ly as well as a pavement. The pro
position of oiling or paving the
streets of Alliance has been given
serious consideration lately. Mr.
Boyd suggested that a street inter
section be covered with this lime
stone for a trial, which will not cost
more than 1 10. The council ac
cepted the suggestion and ordered
the street commissioner to haul and
lay a street intersection. If this
plan is successful, it may solve the
problem of keeping Alliance's streets
In good shape at small expense.

CANDIDATE FOR
STATE. SENATOR
Stand up for Northwestern Nebraska
by Voting for Man Who Will
Do Something if Elected
TO THE VOTERS OF THE 28TH
SENATORIAL DISTRICT IN THE
STATE OF NEBRASKA: As it has
required many years of long and con
slstant fighting to successfully com
bat the foes of good government,
here are a few good reasons why
you should support GEORGE M.
ADAMS for state senator at the com
ing election and show your approval
of his record In the 1907 session of
the Nebraska legislature, which leg
islature enacted some of the best and
most wholesome legislation that had
ever been enacted in this state up to
that time. And today the people of
Nebraska are enjoying the benefits
from same.
He was recognlssed at thnt session
as one of the Democratic leaders.
He supported and voted for all
these important measures:
He was in the fight that gave you
the 2 cent passenger rate law, which
the railway companies have since ad
mitted they are making money un
der. He was in the fight that gave
you the anti-pass law, which put all
parties on equal terms with the rail
road companies, and made the party
who was able to pay his fare do so.
Just the same as any other Individ-,
ual.
He was in the fight that gave you
the 15 per cent freight rate reduc
tion on all car loads of CATTLE,
POTATOES, GRAIN, FLOUR and
BUILDING MATERIAL of all kinds,
which has saved the people of Ne
braska many thousands of dollars in
the last seven years.
He was in the fight that gave you
the 25 per cent express rate reduc
tion. And the express companies ad
mit they were making money under
same as they have since reduced the
rates much lower on their own Ini
tiative to compete with the parcels
post rates.
He was in the fight that gave you
the railway commission bill which
has saved the people of Nebraska
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
freight charges, and forced the vari
ous companies to give the people of
Nebraska better service and improve
ments at all railway stations.
i He -was in the fight for the law
known as the tax levy appeal which
forces the large tax payers and cor
porations to pay their taxes just the
same as any other individual as -tier-tified
upon the tax list and not al
low them to hold hundreds of thous
ands of dollars In their treasuries for
years and finally make a compromise
with the various county commission
ers in the sate for about 50 cents on
the dollar In order to avoid a long
drawn out expensive law suit, when
the common people were obliged to
pay their taxes -in full with Interest
and penalty added.
He was in the legislature that
gave you the child labor law.
He was in the legislature that
gave you the PURE FOOD LAW and
if elected believes that it should be
amended to conform to the present
day needs.
He was In the legislature that
gave you the primary election law
which enables every voter of the
state to have a voice in saying whom
he wants as a public servant, to act
In a public capacity, and is now con
vinced that there is room for some
beneficial amendments to same.
He was in the legislature when
the Iim' Joint resolution was passed
making application to the congrcan
of the United States for the calling
a convention for the proposing of
amendments to the constitution of
the United States, that our senators
should be elected by a direct vote of
the people and not by a legislature.
He was In the legislature that
gave you the employers liability law
or what was commonly called the
fellow servant act.
On all these Important laws the
name of Mr. Adams was first to be
called in the house, and he never
made it a business to be some other
place at voting time but in his seat,
and not wait until the second call of
his name in order to dodge an issue
and see if it was popular with the
majority or not to see which way he
should vote.
So for the coming legislature if
the voters of this district feel so dis
posed at the election to elect Mr.
Adams to the senate, look for con
structive, effective, wise and beneflc
lent laws. For Instance, such as the
proposed BONDED PUBLIC WARE
HOUSE. LAW for GRAIN. HAY and
all other kinds of farm products. Yon
ean never expect this law from a re
publican legislature as that party at
their state convention this year at
Lincoln refused to endorse that
plank, and the leaders of that party
would not submit to its passage or
work for same. This is a reform
that will mean more to the people of
Nebraska in dollars and cents, than
any other law enacted in this state.
He will also work hard to secure
an adequate appropriation for the
state of Nebraska for the purpose of
sending agricultural experts into the
sand bills of this state to experiment
in the selection and propagation of
new forage grasses, that will grow
and thrive in our sandy soil. A
successful effort of this kind will en
hance the value of every acre of
land in this district whether owued
by ranchman, farmer, or homestead
er. Also, if you approve of the admin
istration of President Woodrow Wil
son, you should say so bv your vote.
nd Bend a democrat this year to the
senate. Adv. 44-21-3838

MARRIED AT BROKEN HOW
Alliance Voung; Man and Broken
' Row Young liHriy Launch ii-
on Sea of Mutrimotiy
"Two souls with but a single
thought, two hearts that beat as
one," make a very agreeable com
panionship on life's voyage across
the matrimonial sen. A happy event
occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Alvin Burk in Broken Bow, on Wed
nesday night, Sept. 30, 1914. It was
the marriage of Mrs. Burk's Bister,
Miss Hazel Bennett, to Mr. Karl L.
Knnpp of Alliance. Rev. Fraser,
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
Broken Bow, officiated.
After i he wedding, Mr. and Mrs.
Fvij'P took the train for Alliance,

snco from the city of Mrs. G. W.
Emery, who is teaching school in
Morrill county again this year, they
will keep house at the Emery home,
418 Sweetwater avenue.
The following regarding the wed
ding la taken from the Broken Bow
Republican:
The bride Is one of Broken Bow's
highly esteemed giCrls and has for
several years been clerk in 11. B.
Drake's dry goods store.
The groom is a young man of high
moral character and integrity in the
employ of the Burlington shops ( t
Alliance, where they will make their
home. They left for the west on the
midnight train.
Hazel played the quiet game pret
ty cute and worked in the store up
to 5 o'clock last night that no sus
picion might be awakened among her
host of young friends. But in some
way the cat v.as let out of the wal
let. After the picture shows were
out the young people gathered In
numbers and showed the newly mar
ried couple a hot time until they hud
boarded the train for the west. Many
friends join the Republican In ex
tending congratulations to them.

John Peters, democratic candidate
for sheriff of Sheridan county, was

New was a candidate for re-election
it was not worth while for any one
else to get into the race, but since
he has declined to be a candidate
again, there is a merry scramble for
the office. The Herald is informed
that there is a three-cornered con
test for the office this year, with
chances favorable to Mr. Peters.
