ent Member of the Nebraska
Stock Grower Association
In the untimely demise of Albert
T. Davis, vice president of the Nebr
aska Stork Growers Association, tbat
organization lone one of its most ac
tive members and northwestern Ne
braska one of Its most prominent cit
izens. Thru the courtesy of Chas. K. Bas
sett, editor of The Hyannls Tribune,
the photogravure of the deceased
herewith is published. Wishing to
also give more than a mere passing
notice of the demise of Mr. Davis,
The Herald reprint the following
obituary, which appeared In The
Tribune of March 11:
For three weeks A. T. Davis had
lain In the Wise Memorial hospital
in Omaha stricken with that general
ly Incurable ailment, llrlght's dis
ease, and many times he was very
nearly gone. Then he had appeared
to rally and hopes were held out
tbat he would soon be on his feet
again. Last Thursday afternoon he
was able to sit up In bed, and bad
Just partaken of some slight nour
ishment, when the end came sudden
ly and without warning. About ten
days before he was taken 111 he had
gone to Omaha to meet his wife and
Infant son and It was while he was
In Omaha that he became ill and was
taken to the hospital for treatment.
Previous to that time he had not ex
perienced poor health.
The wife, and his brother an dsls
ter, F. C. Davis and Mrs. II. A. Duck,
both of Abbey, Sask., Canada, were
with htm at the time of his death
and accompanied the remains here
for burial. Another sister, Mrs. H.
B. Cooley, from Idaho, had been
summoned to the bedside, but believ
ing her brother to be on a fair way
toward recovery, she had departed
for home the day before.
The funeral was held at the Con
gregational church here Saturday af
ternoon, Impressive services being
conducted by the pastor, the Itev.
William Richards. The high esteem
In which the deceased was held was
attested by the fact that the people
ot Hyannls turned almost en masse
to pay their tribute to the memory
of one whose name- had been linked
with the growth and development of
CREAM FOR CATARRH
OPENS UP NOSTRILS
Tells now To Get Quick Relief
from Head-Cold. It's Splendid I
this section of the country for more
than twenty-five years past. Many
from a distance braved the storm to
be present and the business bouses
of Hyannls were closed during the
hour of the funeral. The floral of
ferings were rich and beautiful, fair
ly covering the casket at the church
and being banked at the front and
each end. One of the most beauti
ful wreathes was from the Elks lodge
at Alliance, of which organization
the deceased was a member. The
choir rendered several selections.
The remains were laid to rest In the
local cemetery near the grave, of the
deceased's mother, who died here
many years ago.
Albert T. Davis was born Dec. 29,
1858, In Meggs county, Ohio, and
died March 4, 1915, in Omaha, Nebr
aska. He was the second child of a
family of five children. He lenves
to mourn his loss his wife and baby,
one brother and two sisters.
He received a common school edu
cation and then attended the State
University at Lincoln. He came to
Hyannls In 1888 and since that time
he has made his home on the splen
did ranch in Cherry county twenty
miles north of here. He was mar
ried June 11. 1013. to Miss Kssle E.
fluchanan at her home In Ogalalla.
To this union was born one son, Al
bert Thane Davis.
Those who were the associates of
A. T. Davis were his greatest admir
ers and strongest friends. A man
of splendid natural endowments, re
inforced by exceptional educational
acquirements, he was unusually well
Informed In many fields and was
looked to as an authority In the com
munity where he resided. As a
ranchman and stock breeder he was
a close student of scientific methods,
and expended large sums in the Im
provement of his stock, both In cattle
and horses. At the annual session
of the Nebraska Stock Growers Asso
ciation last June Mr. Davis was elect
ed vice president of the association.
His Ideas were large, but his cap
acity for accomplishment was equally
large. He was a pioneer in the sand
hills and the success he achieved was
won by building from a small begin
ning by hard work, good manage
ment and foresight, sustained by a
determination to win out. He was
still planning for the future when
death overtook him, for the mansion
which he was building on the ranch
was not yet completed, and he had
undertaken many Improvements
which he had not yet had time to
push to completion. It seems al
most tragic that he should be strick
en down when he was still In the
prime of life, and was just coming
Into the realization of the success of
years of toll and striving, and when
his plans had been broadened and his
purposes deepened by the association
of his young wife and Infant son.
The character of A. T. Davis is in
delibly stamped upon the country In
which he lived and his name will al
ways hold a prominent place in the
history of Cherry and Grant counties.

In the probable necessity of contem
plating the purchase of a costly and
expensive railroad transportation to
"Shekago", to undergo treatment for
hydrophobia, the contingency arising
from the aforesaid bite by the afore
said Alrdale when I was bit In the
postofflce, Ave feet from the door, on
a cold and bleary afternoon when
said Alrdale was warming Itself on
the sunny side ot a radiator, unbe
knownst to owner and guardians.
I am not an essayist and it is much
beyond me to go into a technical def
inition or analysis of the word
"smooch", but for the benefit of said
try-weekly publlkasbun I will say
that "smooch" Is nothing but my
own original definition for "bit" I
was bit when the dog attacked me in
the postofflce five feet from the door;
I was bit when I (not audlclously
and arrogantly) politely asked said
publikashun to publish said facts,
which they failed to do, causing me
to believe that my faith in human
nature was about to be exploded, as
with a charge of glonolne. My faith
in human nature, especially In news
papermen with try-weekly papers,
has been Immemorial and now it Is
immedicable. I wish to say to the'
Times that in smooching me with
your lntlmldatory methods you caus
ed a feeling of Intolerabllity not on
ly in body but In mind. I do not
feel that you should practice Intrig-'
uery but that rather you should In-,
tltule my Interview and remember!
that it Is I to be pitied, for the Air-1
dale was one of the famous Labyrln
thodonta. I realize that your mercantilists
nature might cause you to give me a
Mepbiatophellan hue, but I assure
you from the bottom of my heart,
that the mingle-mangle which you
' published in answer to my statement
was but a sample of your usual Mun
ificence In the news line.
I While It has taken some space and
time for me to prepare this article,
I am a believer i necessitarianism.
I am not suffering from the state of

Vice President of American Gas Con
struction Company tells of Prm
pectlve Users In Alliance
D. C. Tenney, vice president of the
American Oas Construction Company
of Newton, Iowa, before leaving for
the east Tuesday noon, gave The
Herald a list of the prospective users
of gas in Alliance, in case a plant
was Installed in Alliance.
Mr. Tenney stated that among
those who would use gas would be
the newsnaDers for their tvoesetting
machines, the laundry, creamery, ho-'
tels, restaurants, drug stores, hospit
al, boarding school, domestic science
department in high school, manual
training department in high school,
water heaters in barber shops, gas
ranges, room heaters and water heat
ers in the homes.
He stated that the average gas
bill in the home where gas Is used
for all cooking, baking, laundry pur
poses, etc., would be from $2.60 to
$3.50 per month. Gas Is as much
more convenient over a gasoline or
oil stove as they are over wood or
coal. It is always ready and It la
not necessary to arrange tor eitra
fuel at any time but use the gas as
It Is needed and pay for It after the
service Is furnished.
The mayor and city council will
probably decide to ask for an expres
sion of opinion regarding the instal
lation of a gas plant In Alliance at
the coming spring election.
