At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Commercial Club of
Alliance, held last Monday, by a un
animous vote, W. D. Fisher was re
tained as their club secretary for the
coming year. Mr. Fisher will re
main with the club at the same com

On April 20th at the Imeprlal
theatre the Alliance Hand will give
a band concert to raise funds to buy
some new music for this summer.
Mr. Dubuque has very kindly offer
ed the boys fifty per cent of the pro
ceeds, and every citizen In Alliance
should turn out that evening and
show the boys that you appreciate
their efforts. A soliciting commit
tee starts out to solicit funds to
help pay for a band leader and the
expense of the summer concerts, and
later the Commercial Club will give
to this funds from the treasury. On
ly those who are not supporting the
Club wll lbe solicited.
With such a fine courthouse as
this county now has, It is only In
conformity with the building that
the grounds be beautified as much as
possible, and the block on which the
building rests will be a sight worth
seeing when the grass Is up In nice
shape and the trees are reen. The
county Is offering the old Jail for
sale cheap, and It will soon be re-
uoved. It will take some time for
the grounds to attain the necessary
greenness", but It Is worth waiting
for.
KE1CP ABOVE THE "KNOCKER"
the knocker Is a coward. Some
times he has ability; sometimes you
will find him a worker, but one
thing you'll always find him to be a
coward. Face your man in a manly
way and spit It out. It will give you
self respect, and It will Instill re
spect from others, Uod help the
miserable knocker the man who
smiles with his lips while they're
smeared with poison. Making trou
ble Is tonic for hlui. Learn to detest
the fearfuj habit. Act the man to
your fellow-worker. Omaha Trade

PRISONER ESCAPES
WILL RAISE WEATHER FLAG
(Joes Out Window of Toilet ltoom
While Sheriff Awaits His He-
turn Wanted for Forgery
Sunday morning, on No. 41, while
Sheriff Matlock, of Billings, was
bringing back from Indiana a prison
er charged with forgery, the "bird
flew", making his escape through a
window of the car.
The circumstances surrounding
the escape Were related to a Herald
reporter by Sherley Smith, the porl
er on 41, who was connected with
the case. Just as the train was pull
ing out from Seneca the prisoner
went into the toilet room. Sheriff
Matlock thought no more of the mat
ter until considerable time had elaps
ed and the prisoner had not return
ed. Becoming slightly worried, he
tried the door of the toilet and found
It locked. Repeated attempts failed
to bring any response, and It was
then that the officer asked the porter
to unlock the door. When access
was at last gained, there was no
prisoner In sight, but an open win
dow told the story.
At Hyannls Sheriff Matlock left
the train and started back for a
search, but at this writing no trace
of the prisoner has been found. As
It was dark when the train pulled out
of Seneca, It Is probable the forger
made good his escape, as be had a
considerable start on the officer.

Ranting Weather Cntiditolns
In order that Alliance people may
be Informed of weather conditions,
the Commercial Club this week be
gan taking government bulletins,
and the usual weather flags will be
used (o convey the information to
the people. The flag pole is over the
Commercial Club rooms, so at any
time you wish to know what kind of
weather Is coming. Just cast your
gaze In that direction and you will
know what to prepare for. Most peo
ple are not acquainted with the vari
ous flag signs, and for their benefit
we print the correct Interpretation:
Solid white flag alone fair weath
er.
houa Diue nag alone rain or
snow.
White and blue flag alone local
rain or snow.
White flag with black triangle flag
above fair weather, warmer.
White flag, with black triangle
flat below fair weather, colder.
Blue flag with black triangle flag
above rain or snow, warmer
Blue flag with black triangle flag
below rain or snow, colder.
Blue and white flag, with black tri
angle flag above local rain or snow.
warmer.
Blue and white flag, with black

It will be well for Herald readers
to preserve these directions and put
them In a prominent place, bo when
you see the flag you can readily know
wbat Is coming.

Monday morning of this week,
Professor Anderson of Lincoln, who

Lawrence and Hawk, were up to vis
It chapel. There were interesting
talks given on agricultural work.
Professor Anderson talked on the
work of the experimental station,
the extension work and the agricul
tural school as carried on at Lincoln.
Mr. Lawrence emphasized the Inter
est of the Commercial Club In the
farm work and the need of the com
munity's helping (o advance this
work. Mr. Good spoke of the work
of one of our students who Is teach
ing In this county. He showed what
excellent opportunities are open for
young teachers for the education of
girls and boys in extending this work
in the rural districts. The talks
were very much appreciated by the
students and faculty of the Normal.

Doubt the Evidence
Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Alliance's pertinent question has
always been, "Has anyone here in
Alliance been cured?" The word of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.

Good paint must hold its color and present a smooth, even sur
face free from cracks, checks or peeling. To do this the paint must
be made especially to fit the climatic conditions of the locality where
it is to be used.
