A "BUSINESS SESSION"
About 1h time of the convening of the present session of llie Ne
braska legislature it was announced far and wide and often that it
would be a short, business session, that no time would be wasted in
folderols, or words to that effect, that there would be something doing
from the word "Go," and that when the members had covered them
elves with glory and drawn their last ten dollars per they would re
turn home, where their constituents would load them down with hon
ors as a mark of appreciation of their noble work.
The Herald reserves comment on the quality of the work of the
legislature until a future issue when the present session will be re
viewed, the good things commended and some of the shortcomings
pointed out ; but the following from The llyannis Tribune indicates
the feeling that has become general thruout the state:
A DiMromrd Citizen
A letter was picked up on Delllnger avenue a few days ago
and while It Is of a personal nature the question involved la a pub
lic one and for this reason it is published In The Tribune, as fol
lows: "I regret very much to write you this letter for fear of an
noying you, but the time has come when I must ask your Judg
ment on a serious question, the contemplation of which has caused
me many days of anxiety and corresponding nights of restlessness.
You will understand when I tell you that many hearts have been
broken, homes have been wrecked and even human lives sacrificed
by similar trouble, still I feel that you should know the worst at
once, for, in all sincerity, it may mean life or death to me. I dare
not communicate the state of my mind to any of my friends ex
cept you, for friends, you know, cannot always be relied upon.
Always In my distress I come to you, I know I am asking a great
. deal of you, but your friendship will warrant It, and In deciding
' this lay aside your loyalty and tell me, from the fullness of your
heart, do you think that the members of the Nebraska legislature
will hold a short, business-like session,' as they promised?"

Bridgeport Department Held Meet
ing on Tuesday, March 2, and
Effected Re-organlzation
The Bridgeport News-Blade of
March 5 has the following to Bay re
garding the recent meeting of the
are department at Bridgeport:
The most successful meeting of
the fire department ever held in the
history of the organization was held
Sn the directors' room cf the BrUse
port bank last Tuesday n'glit. Fif
teen members turned out to discuss
ways and means o fmaklng the de
partment efllcient in fighting the
Bres of the city and insuring busi
ness men and property owners a
galnst loss.
The matter of securing an addition
to the present tire house to make
room for the new extension ladders
recently purchased by the city, and
to provide drain boards for the dry
ing of hose when used in winter fires
was taken up at length and the mat
ter will be laid before the city coun
cil In hope thnt they will see the
Seed and make the appropriation for
that purpose. It was also the belief
of the fire department that the city
should provide a permanent meeting
place for the men, and the new hose
house will be fitted for that purpose.
The department will make an ef
fort on its own part to raise funds
for the construction, of a small hose
cart house to enclose one cart, car
rying 500 feet of hose, which will be
placed on the vacant lot directly east
of the Bridgeport Lumber Company,
and will greatly add to the protec
tion against Are in the eastern busi
ness and residence portions of the
city.
The department now numbers
twenty men, who are all Interested
in the work, and willing to devote a
large portion of their time to the
protection of the city. It Is the ar
dent hope of the members that the
cltlzenB and business men will give
all assistance possible so as to In
sure the existence of the department
and build It up to meet the growing
requirements of the city.
The regular meeting night was
set for the first and third Tuesdays
of each month, and the call will be
three taps on the bell repeated.
PARTIALLY LIFT
THE QUARANTINE
Nebraska Live Stock Hoard Permits
Shipments Into State from Some
DlNtricts In Other States
Lincoln, Nebr., March 17 The
state live stock board partially lifted
the foot and mouth disease quaran
tine at a meeting held in the gover
nor's office.
By the action of the board the ban
is lifted from cloven-footed animals
shipped In from South Dakota, Mis
souri and a large portion of Iowa,
Kansas, the eastern part of Iowa,
Minnesota and other eastern states
are s'ill barred from sending such
stock Into Nebraska except fro pur
poses of immediate slaughter.
However, all stock shipped In from
the territory from which the quar
antine restrictions are removed is
still under suspicion and inspectors
will be busy at South Omaha and
Sioux City. Moreover, upon any
outbreak of the disease in the free
territory, the board has announced,
its action will be at once rescinded.
The Iowa Line
The line of demarcation in Iowa
runs north and south along the east
boundary of the following counties
beginning at the top of the state:
Worth, Cerro, Gordo, Franklin, Har
din, Marshall, Jasper, Marion, Mun
roe and Appenose. The line 1b about
168 miles east of Sioux City and
about 175 miles east of the Missouri
river at points further south.
With the exception of the three
representatives from Iowa and Con
gressman Shallenberger, who wrote
a letter on the subject, the opinion
of the 100 or more live stock men
present was that the quarantine
should be continued.
Lieut. Gov. W. II. Harding of Io
wa, the state that suffers the most
from the quarantine, said that Iowa
might be forced to retaliate if the
bars were not let down. Dr. Gibson,
Iowa state veterinarian, said that Ne
braska was In more danger of infec
tion by human beings bringing in the
disease than by stock. Dr. Vermil
lion, government inspector, refused
to express an opinion.
If anybody doubts that this is a
free country let him consult the list
of candidates for mayor of Chicago.

Last Concert of Season
The last of the series of concerts
3ven under the direction of the
School of Music will be held at the
epera bouse, Thursday evening, Ap
ril 8. Unwittingly the best concert
f ths course has been reserved for
the final number, and it is safe to say
that not only is it the best of the '
course but one of the best concerts'
that the Alliance public has been 1
privileged to attend. It is to be a '
two part concert, the first of which
will be a rendition of the Breton
Folk Songs by a mixed quartette, the
members of which are Miss Eunice
Burnett, soprano; Mrs. Hershman,
contralto; Mr. Camille None, tenor;
Mr. Harry Zickert. bass.
The music of the Folk Songs is of
the richest harmonic construction,
full of surprises, and of such wierd
nature as to wonderfully portray the
superstitious character of the Breton
people. If no more than this were
given there is no doubt but that ev
eryone would be satisfied. The sec
ond part of the concert will be an
orchestra concert by the School of
Music Orchestra. This orchestra is
comprised of the best musical talent
of Alliance, and for over two months
have been working faithfully to be
able to give a concert of the suprem
est character. The music is of the
best but chosen so as not to weary
me musically untrained, but possess
ing qualities that will hold the atten
tion of all. The orchestra is under
the direction of Mr. Ralph R. Unl
acke. The quartette will be accom
panied by Mrs. Edith Swan Zediker. 1

Union Stock Yards, South Om&ha
March 16. A big run of catte arrivej
yesterday, some 10.5U0 head. For Me
most part it was a mloc lower deal
in lat cattle and business wa decid
edly dull and draggy at the decline.
Advices from other points were ci.s
toiiraging. Cows and heilVrs were hit
fully as bard as the beef steers, and
owing to the liberal supply of t-.H
stock on sale buyers were very delib
erate and bearish in filling their lim
ited orders. Veal calves were, steady
to somewhat lower, and the trade In
bulls, stags, etc. was dull and weaker.
There was some Inquiry for strictly
desirable Btockers and feeders of ail
weights at not far from steady figures,
but on the general run of stock cattle
bids were right around 10 15c lower
than last week's mean close.

Some 15,000 hogs arrived yesterday
For such a heavy run the market was
not at all in bad shape. Prices were
in the neighborhood of 510c lower,
tops reaching $6.80 and the bulk going
at $6.656 6.70. It was a reasonably
active trade and practically all were
cleaned up before the close.
Sheep and lamb receipts totaled IS,
000 head. With discouraging advices
from outside points and liberal re
cetpts here, the trade opened slow and
weak on lambs. Mutton offerings wers
scarce and prices steady. The bulk ol
the lambs moved at prices 10 15c
lower than the close of last week
Born lambs sold at $9.60, and a bunch
of yearlings brought $8.75.
