CONVENTION OF
THE N.P. V.T.A.
Large Attendance and Successful in
Every Way Notwithstanding
Unfavorable Weather
NEXT SESSION TO UK AT SIDNEY
In Bpite of the bad weather of
last week, which prevented many
teachers from coming to Alliance, the
attendance at the eighth annual
meeting of the North Platte Valley
Teachers' Association, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, was large. Had
weather conditions been favorable,
there is no doubt that the attendance
would have been much in excess of
any preceding session.
The first session of the convention
was held in Phelan opera house,
Thursday afternoon. Addresses of
welcome were delivered in a very
cordial and happy manner by City
Attorney Walter Metz and Supt. W.
R. Pate of the Alliance city shcools,
and responded to by Supt. It. M.
Marrs of Bridgeport, after which ex
State Supt. It. I. Elliott of the Kear
ney State Normal delivered an in
structive and helpful address on
"The Spirit of the School."
Declamatory Contest
Thursday evening the North .Platte
Valley Declamatory Association dis
trict contest, to 6elect delegates to
the state declamatory contest, was
held. It was exceptionally fine. In
the oratorical class there were four
contestants: Grace Foster, Sidney,
who won first place; Ralph Joder,
Alliance; John Linn, Kimball County
High school, second; and Earl Van-
del. Bridgeport
The same towns were represented
in the dramatic claBs: Nejlie Ded-

, tainment, as well aa tlj ruout
vention, Is "deBe'rvfrigof sprciay
p con-

School of Music, the Alliance High
school orchestra, and other musical
talent of this city.
Friday Afternoon and Evening
A telegram received Friday from
Dean Charles Fordyce of the Univer
sity of Nebraska, who was to have
delivered a lecture that afternoon on
"Education?! Measurements," con
veyed the information that he had
missed his train and of course could
not be present. Rev. II. J. Young,
pastor of the Christian church of Al
liance, kindly consented to occupy
the time with a timely lecture which
he termed "The Engine." With a
good head of steam which Mr. Young
invariably carrieB, considerable pow
er was developed in "The Engine,"
and the teachers soon forgot their
disappointment in not having the
privilege of hearing Dean Fordyce.
"The Status of Nebraska in Edu
cational Activity" was the subject of
the round table discussion conducted
by Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The only re
gretable thing about this part of the I
afternoon's program was the short-'
ness of the time that could be devot
ed to it.
In the annual business session of
ficers were elected and Sidney desig
nated as the place for holding the
next annual convention. Following
are the officers for the ensuing year:
W. S. Bostder, Lodgepole. president;
C. M. Matheny, Scottsbluff, vice president-treasurer;
Grace McFadden,
Sidney, secretary. The retiring of
ficers are: C. A. Anderson, Alliance,
president; W. S. Bostder, Lodgepole,
vice president; Elda F. Bacon, Alli
ance, secretary.
The annual banquet, commencing
at 5 p. m., was a big event. Supt.
W. J. Braham of Sidney acted as
toast master.
Toasts were respond-
ed to as follows: Ireland, Miss Mc -
Elhaney; Keep Agoin', H. W. Shav
er; Front Seats, Miss Greenlee;
Bachelors, Miss McCusker; Maidens,
It. M. Marrs; The Outlook. W. R.
Pate.
The opening of the Friday evening
program at the opera house was de
layed by the banquK at the Central
school building. Dr. Nathaniel But
ler delivered his address, "The Soc
ial and Individual Value of Educa
tion." Saturday Forenoon
One of the best things of the en -
tire convention was the lecture of
Prof. G. E. Condra. "A Journey in
Nebraska," illustrated with motion
pictures, at the Imperial theatre,
Saturday forenoon.
Following Prof. Condra's lecture,
L. T. Skinner, agent of the United

ACQUITTED OF CHARGE
Threatened to "Shoot Somebody"
When Tenant Tried to Move
Piece of Furniture
Mrs. "Poker" Jones, widow of the
late "Poker" Jones, of this city, was
found not guilty of the crime of "as
sault and misdemeanor" by Judge
Berry in his court Wednesday after
noon. A warrant was sworn out by
Charles Dolan Wednesday morning,
after Mra .Innn hnd unnrnnrhud
him whlla ho was rnmnvlnff arima
household goods from her house
Tuesday, with a gun In her hand, and
threatened to shoot unless he return-
ed to the house a sideboard which
she claimed belonged to her. '
It seems that James Dolan, a son
of the plaintiff, moved here several
months ago and rented part of the.
house furnished from Mrs. Jones. He
married a short time ago and moved
out, but in the meantime his parents
had moved here and were occupying
the house. While there, they pur-!
chased several articles of furniture
from Mrs. Jones, which, according to
the evidence, they were to pay for in ,
small installments. It was also
claimed that the Dolans had failed to
i pay their last month's house rent.
; When they started to load their fur-
"shoot somebody if they put that on
any further". The piece of furni- ' Work Pone by Students of all Grade
ture was promptly returned to the j Shown During Teachers' Con-hoU8e-.
. . . - ' vent Ion I jist Week
Basye represented the state, and the '
defendant was represented by Wm.
!mim,oii ivr- a th e-at
witness "examined, and his testimony ,
.
was in substance the same as above.
Mrs. Dolan was nevt called, and her
testimony was mostly In regard to
the payment of the rent, and regard
ing the method of paying for the fur
niture, both Mr. Nolan and his wife
claimed that they had purchased the
'sideboard In the deal, but that they
had not completed paying for It. She
also saw Mrs. Jones with the gun and
heard her re v. ark that somebody was
going to get shot if they moved the
sideboard.
Otto Bieler, the drayman who was
employed to move the furniture, wsa
next called and testified that he and
; Mr. Dolan had Just started to put the
furniture on. the wagoji.wh.en Mrs.
Jones appeared and made her threat.
and furthermore that he assisted In
.returning the sideboard to the house.
j County Attorney Basye made the
opening and closing arguments, ask
ing that the defendant be found guil
ty of assault and fined In an amount
sufficient to cover the costs of the
trial. Lawyer Mitchell opined that
the lady had the right to protect her
nronertv at any cost, even thoueh it
nrnrtv nt Bnv PnRt ven thoueh
necessary to shoot, and Judge
Berry took the same stand.
when
asked by Attorney Basye why she

evaded the question by saying that
wa8 a poor. lone widow, and that
her only protection was her gun.
WOULD MANAGE PLANT
Three Husky Guys Who Took Posse
sion of Electric Light riant laid
Iw by Police Chief
Three brave and bold men, made Thursday. Friday and Saturday was
braver and bolder with plenty of R series of pictures entitled "A Jour
"Dutch courage", on Saturday Jour- ney Through Nebraska", shown and
neyed to the city electric light and
power plant near the railroad tracks
and after entering tne Dunaing an-
nounced to the city employes there
that they were In possession and
would manage things.
Persuasion failed with the men,
and as a final resort Chief of Police
Jeffers was phoned for. He arrived
on the scene and politely asked the
men to leave the building and hie
thpm8e,vpf ,to otner Quarters. They
announced in no uncertain accents
lnal ,ne cn,el w oui or iuck ana
that they were prepared to hold the
fort at all costs. When the chief
, P,ucki,y started to put them out of
the building they one and all started
in on him but after (as the war cor-j
respondents term it) a short but ter-
rlfic engagement, the chief came out
victor. Two of the three were en
tirely down and out, being rather
slightly injured in the fracas, and it
was necessary for the chief to bor
row a wagon to bring the men to the
city jail, the usual patrol wagon
(The Herald's delivery cart) not be
ing handy.
In police court the men were lined
up and fined. James Henderson
drew ten dollars, costs and a sore
head: Pat McDonald got off easy, for
five dollars, costs, and wounded feel
ings; James McCluskey received ten
dollars, costs, and injuries that cause
him to eat standing up. The men
are working out their fines helping
the city. At the sight of the police
chief they "stand without tieing".

ability, the work being contributed
by all grades, including the domestic

Central and Emerson buildings, the
exhibits were classified, and each In
dividual article bore the name of
the pupil producing it.
.The Emerson building was used
for t lie products of the manual train

an Interesting collection, Including
articles both useful and ornamental)
among which were racks of all de
Bcriptlons, cabinets, .pedestals, stools,

summers are very pleasant and the
winters do not get as cold as in some
places farther south. Mr. Boon has

TO THE VOTERS OF ALLIANCE:
Having allowed my name to be
placed upon the ballots as candidate
for mayor of the city of Alliance, I
feel that I owe to the citizens of this
city the right to know exactly where
I stand. The city is entitled to econ
omy and honesty in the admlnlstra
tion of Its affairs. I stand opposed
to any Increase in taxes or any In
crease in the salaries of any of its
officials. I believe that the light and
water department has been managed
on an economical basis and in a business-like
manner, and that the pres
ent superintendent should be re-ap
pointed. To the above platform I
j,iedge myself

new large piano department to be
opened by the Brandels stores on the
third floor of the Immense store in
Omaha, on April 1st.
The Omaha Bee had the following

In charge of this department will be
W. M. Robinson, who for some Mmo
hajs been connected with the Had
dorff Piano company, one of the
largest piano manufacturing con
cerns in the country. Mr. Robinson
Is by no means a stranger in Omaha
as he was for many years manager
of piano departments In local stores.
Already work is being done on the
new Brandels department and the
progress made bo far indicates that
when the plans are completed this
department will be one of the most
beautiful In the Middle West. Fix
tureii are being Installed, and decor
ators are now at work. An Interest
ing feature will be the individual
rooms of solid mahogany for demon
strating the different instruments. It
will occupy a large spare, utilizing
that part of the third floor where the
Brandels general offices have been as
well as requiring much additional
floor room.
It is announced by the manage
ment that pianos of the highest pos
sible standard only will be sold. Nat
ionally known makes that have be-
h'nd them years of unquestioned su
premacy combined with honesty In
workmanship and the maximum of
skill In production will make up the
stock in this new department, furth
ering the idea that always has ob
tained at the Brandels Stores the
best the world affords.
The volume of business that Is ex
pected combined with the affiliation
with leading factories will tend to
owr costs and It Is stated by the
Brandels management that high
grade Instruments will be sold at
smaller prices than is the usual prac
tice In piano stores.
In connection with the player-piano

the public has utilized to an unusual
extent.
An Interesting series of recitals in

which will be made shortly. Mr. Rob

STYLE SHOW A
GRAND S0C6ESS
All the latest Ntyle Shown by Alli
ance Merchant at Imperial
Theatre Int Thursday
WITNESSED RY MANY HUNDRED
Although the weather of last
Thursday was anything but favora
ble, the second co-operative style
show given by the merchants of Alli
ance was voted a success by all who
attended, and that means several
hundred people. It la safe to state
that practically every new spring
creation was shown, and the benefit
derived by the merchants, and the
advertising received by the town can
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
It la also safe to state that no one
departed from either the afternoon
or evening shows in Ignorance of
what will be worn by men and wo
men this spring and summer.
The music of the shows was furn
ished by an Edison Diamond Disc
phonograph by George Darling and
the auto piano by the Haddorff Mu
sic Co., played by Lloyd Thomas.
Stage decorations were furnished by
Ellis Ray, and Miller Bros, furnished
the Btage fixtures and furniture.
Orvllle Davenport, Charles Spncht
and Lloyd Thomas were the repre
sentatives of the E. G. Lalng store,
which sells "Modern Clothes for
Men", and wore the latest spring
styles in Collegian clothes, Hayward
shoes and Belmont hats, a display
which "spoke louder than words" re
garding the rlpss cf merchandise
handled by Mr. Lalng.
The ladles furnishing department
of the Harper department store was
represented by six complete costumeB
worn by Misses Florence Albee, Mary
Wilson, Viola Kleinke, Frances
Lockwood, Isabelle Gabus, and Little
Miss Iona Ash wore a child's cos
tume. The costumes were Palmer
garments, with Krippendorf shoes,
and Included Gage Brothers' latest
creations, a line handled exclusively
In Alliance by this store, and the dis
play was very attractive. W. II. La
Mon, Camille Nohe. Will O'Keefe
and Robert Acheson represented the
Harper store In their men's and boys'
departments, wearing Brandegee
Klncaid nd Stein Bloch fiutts, Flor
shelm shoes, Gordon hats, and Xtra
good suits and Daddy Duke shoes for
boys. '
The Roy Beckwlth store, "The
Right", was represented by Harry
Clayton, who wore a Hlreh-Wlck-wire
suit. Strong & Garfield shoes,
and a Stetson hat. These goods all
have national reputations, and show
ed to excellent advantage on such a
charming model as Mr. Clayton.
Wooltex garments, together with
Dorothy Dodd shoes and the very lat
est creations in millinery, were dis
played by the Horace Bogue store,
which was represented ' by Misses
Nell Acheson, Mabel Mosher, Mildred
Campbell, Cynthia Davenport and
Florence Aekln. The Wooltex gar
ment ia a leader at the Bogue store,
and with such a demonstration as
was given at the style show, it is eas
ily Been why this store la one of the
leaders in fashions.
It would be a difficult matter . to
select any one display aa being the
best, as they were all "par excell
ence", and demonstrated thoroughly
that Alliance merchants keep an eye
out for the latest styles all the time.
