County Superintendent of Schools
Oral Russell has received the first
semi-annual apportionment of school
funds for the year 1917, a total of
$2,280.51, which In turn she appor
tions to the different school districts
in the county.
Money from Fines, Also
A total of $2,134.84 was received
from the Btate sources and $154.67
received from the county, being mon
ey collected by the county on flues
assessed either by the county judge
or Justices of the peace.
How Divided
.One-fourth of the money is divid
ed equally between each of the dis
tricts in the county, each district
getting $12.38. The other three
fourths of the appropriation is divid
ed between forty-eight districts ac
cording to the average daily attend
ance of students at each school. Nat
urally those schools -with the largest
daily attendance have the most need
for money and bo get the largest ap
propriation. Of the fifty-two school
districts but forty-eight are entitled
to participate in the state appropria
tion owing to the fact that four did
not meet with the rules. The dis
tricts not receiving their share of the
appropriation are Nos. 42, 80, 17,
and 57.
Rased on Fiscal Year
The average daily attendance of
the respective schools is figured from
July, 1915, to July, 1916, the fiscal
year. Below appears the amount re

visitors by a score of 35 to 17.
Alliance made eight baskets dur

half, one being on a free throw. Mit
chell made four baskets the first half
one being on a free throw, and. six
during the last half, two of these be
ing from the foul line.
The teams put up a stiff battle, one
well worth witnessing. Most of the
players are experienced men, having
played either on high school or col

DIED HERE WEDNESDAY
Death Comes as Great Surprise and
Shock to Relatives and the
Many Friends
Friends were shocked yesterday
when they learned of the death of
Miss Bernlce Armstrong at the home
of Mrs. D. De Loss Barber, 705 Lara
mie avetuie, at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning. While Miss Armstrong
had been somewhat ill for some two
months past. It was not considered
serious enough to be an occasion for
worry. Death was caused from a
complication of Bright's disease and
heart trouble.
Miss Armstrong was the. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. L. Armstrong, living
some thirty-eight miles north and
east of Alliance. She was twenty
two years old. The young lady had
come to Alliance some two months
ago to visit her sister, Miss Gladys
Armstrong, who is- employed at the
Horace Bogue store. Miss Gladys
has been rooming at the Barber
home and It was here that Miss Bern
lce was visiting.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Arm
strong, arrived in the city Tuesday
for a visit with their daughters. They
were aware that she was ill, but
nothing in particular was thought of
it at that time because the young la
dy had come to Alliance more partic
ularly for medical treatment and al
so to visit her sister.
Besides ncr parents and her sister,
Miss Gladys, the young woman, is
survived by another sister, Miss Mar
garet, seven years old. MIbs Ber
nlce Armstrong was well known In
this city and had many close friends.
She had attended both the Alliance
high school and St. Agnes academy,
and was well known among the
young people.
The funeral will be held from the
Burber home tomorrow, February 2.
AUTO-DELIVERY GAR
GOES OVER WALL
Driver Pinned between Car and IKxir
Fell Inside when Door
Was 0eiUHl
The fact that there was a doorway
opening Into the brick wall was all
that saved Richard Young from death
Monday morning. He was driving
tu auto delivery wagon for Alliance
creamery and was uiuklng a delivery
at the rear of the Drake hotel when
his car skidded over the wall at the
south side of the hotel and dropped
into the runway some ten feet be
low. Mr. Young had completed his de
livery and was backing around to get
to the street. The car skidded. He
put on the brakes but they did not
hold. Young tried to jump from the
seal, but could not make it in the
short time before the car went over
the wall. The machine turned on its
side, the driver being pinned under
neath, but he was unharmed except
for some minor bruises. He was
wedged into the door bo tightly that
when the door was opened by the
clerk, he fell back Into the room. The
frame of the car was jammed against
the wall, and had it not been for the
door, the accident s would probably
have had a different ending.
The machine was removed from
the runway by the use of a block and
tackle, being but little damaged. The
windshield and fenders were smashed
DRY BILL ABOUT
READY FOR HOUSE
Kub-romnilttee of Six Men from Sen
ate and House Worked Satur
day, Sunday and Monday
NEWSPAPER MAN 5 LAWYERS
Provisions for Law Enforcement will
be Drastic. . .Prohibition Com
missioner to Enforce Ijiw
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30 Nebraska's
dry law, upon which the eyes of tho
people of the state have boon focused
for several days, is almost ready, as
far as the work of tho special com
mittees from tho House nnd Senate
is concerned. In order to rush tho
work of the commlttoeos in preparing
the bill for introduction, a special
sub committee, was appointed, con
sisting of Senator Beal, Chappell and
Sandall and Representatives Norton,
Flansburg and Thomas. The first
five are lawyers and the last a news
paper man. This committee worked
Saturday, Sunday and Monday on the
bill.
The proposed bill is taken from
four other proposed bills, known as
the Dry Federation Bill, tho Wolfen
barger Bill, the Stoecker Bill and the
bill approved by Governor Neville.
The committee took the best features
from the other bills and have incor
porated them all In one.
The most important features of the
bill are the restrictions placed on tho
amount of liquor allowed to bo Im
ported; the "red tape" necessary In
getting liquor from outsido tho state;
the office of a prohibition commission
er to assist in enforcing the law; the
prohibition of advertising either by
signs or newspaper advertisements:
and the prohibiting of clubs or other
means of purchasing liquor In com
bination: and the restrictions to pre
vent bootlegging.
The committeee was a "bone dry"
aggregation, but a careful poll of tho
House and Senate showed that there
was no possibility of passing a "bono
dry" bill, thereofre their efforts were
confined to making a restrictive bill
as drastic as possible. The poll of
the House showed 25 "bone dry," 60
"plain drys" and 15 wots. Tho poll
of tho Senate showed 14 "bone drys,"
3 "plain drys" and 16 wets.
Nebraska will have a double elec
tion board at future elections If
House Roll No. 107. fathered by 17
enthusiastic members, passes the Sen
ate. It passed the House with not
much opposition on Friday.
The bill provides for two election
boards in all precincts in the state
where sixty or more votes are cast. :
One board Is to receive the ballots
and the other Is to count them. Re
turns must be made immediately to
the county clerk. It is believed this
will mean that election "boards will
be thru by midnight of election day.
The expose will be no ?ro.ite for
officials, as under the present law the
board gets two days' pay.
The boards are to be appointed as
at present by the district clerk from
lists furnished by the party chair
man, and must be divided in propor
tion to the vote cast at the previous
election.
The principal debate occurred over
the number of votes to the precinct
where the law should apply. Some
members wants the minimum fixed at
100 and others at 150. Both amend
ments were voted down after half of
the members had voiced opinions. It
was urged that to make the bill apply
only to precincts where more than
150 votes were cast would practic
ally kill the bill.
As originally drawn the bill pro
vided that the counting should begin
after ten ballots had boen cast and
whenever ten more had accumulated
Mr. Peterson succeeded In getMng the
number raised to twenty-five. He
said that making it every ten ballots
would permit check being kept on
how men from the railroads and oth
er factories voted, since they usually
vote in groups, and might lead to In
timidation and other evils.
Tuesday and Wednesday are the
last days for the Introduction of bills.
Tho leclslature adjourned from Fri
day afterpoon until Tuesday after-

WOMAN OOUNTY
AGENT NOW
Extension Department to Send Ex
IH'rt In Field Work to Work
with Farm Women
MAY HE MISS MARY ROIIKAH
Three Counties llox Ilutte, Sheri
dan and Dawes to He Nerved
by ' One Agent
Now that t lie board of county com
missioners has made an appropria
tion, co-operating with the state and
federal governments, appropriating
funds to aid in the maintenance of
county agent work In Box Butte
county, another great forward step is
scheduled for the benefit of Box
Butte county, together with Sheri
dan and Dawes counties. This is a
woman county agent to work with
the women in the farm homes of
these three counties.
Provide Summer Work
The extension department of the
Nebraska State University has in its
employ a certain number of workers
who are busy during the winter
months demonstrating at short
courses and Institutes. Those em
ployees are employed by the year.
They have time during the summer
to do additional field work, whenev
er the opportunity is afforded them.
Work In Three Counties
The extension department propos
es to send a woman here during the
summer months. She will hold
meetings In each of the three coun
ties mentioned Box Butte, Sheridan
and Dawes. She will remain in one
county one week at a time, holding
community meetings probably five
days a week. Thus she will be en
abled to spend ono week out of ev
ery threat in each of th ehtroe coun
ties. The extension department will
pay her salary. A very small charge
will be made to thoso enrolling,
which charge will be UBed in paying
her expenses.
Is Well Known
It is very probable that Miss Mary
Rohkar, known in this county
through her work here at institutes
during the past' two years, will be
assigned to Box Butte, Sheridan and
Dawes counties, with probable head
quarters in Alliance.
Ijaw Provides Funds
The Smith-Lover Co-operatlvo Ag
ricultural Extension Act passed by
congress provides for co-operative
extension work in agriculture and
home economics. The letterheads of
the county agent must read, "Co-op-1
eratlve Extension Work in Agricul
ture and Homo Economics," in or
der for the work to receive federal
aid.
First Woman Agent
So far the only work along home
sconomics that had been done In
these three counties has been insti
tute work. There is not, at the
present time, and never has boen, a
woman county agent In these coun
ties. It is now proposed to have a
woman county agent to aid the wom
en of the county, the same as the
county agent works with tho men.
While the woman county agent will
be stationed here but a few months
each year for the present, it Is be
lieved by the extension department
that she will make herself as useful
in her way as the regular county
agent.
Seward Has One
Co-operation has in fact Invaded a
new field. In Seward county the
Seward County Home-Makers' asso
ciation wa3 organized last Novem
ber. Miss Esther WArner was em
ployed as the woman county agent.
The work of tho woman county agent
is as varied as that of the men. The
first work taken up in Seward county
pertained to tho poultry yard. Eggs
and dressed poultry produced by
members of the Home-Makers' asso
ciation were marketed co-operatively
by parcels post for the Christmas
trade. Miss Warner, the woman
county agent, secured the names of
prospective purchasers and complet
ed arrangements for the transactions
so that producers were able to real
ize an increase of thirty per cent ov
er regular market prices when pro
duce was distributed through other
channels. Consumers bought the

FINANCE NEW HOTEL
PROPOSITION HERE
All Hut 910,000 of Total Amount
Needed Has lloon Subscribed
by Alliance People
. Present indications are that the
new hotel to be built in Alliance will
be built this coming summer and by
local capital. J. M. Miller of the
Alltance hotel has been going ahead
and now has everything about ready
to begin tho work preparatory to the
letting of contracts and making the
final decisions on the many little
problems that always come up.
Last evening Mr. Miller was host
to some fifteen local men interested
in the no whotel proposition at a
banquet held at the Hotel Alliance.
The proposition was gone over care
fully, after which somo twelve thous
and dollars was subscribed by those
In attendance as an aid to financing
the proposition. Mr. Miller has
made arrangements for the financing
of the new hotel building with tho ex
ception of some nine or ten thous
and dollars. This money will be
raised In the next few days.
Committee Apxlnted
A committee has been appointed to
aid Mr. Miller In the securing of the
additional funds necessary for the
proposition and this committee start
ed this afternoon making a canvass
for tho necessary funds. So far,
there has been a ready response and
everything la going smoothly.
Alliance needs a new hotel and
needs it very much, but the opera
tions preliminary to the building of
this new addition to Alliance's prog
ress are being conducted without sen
timent, In a businesslike way, with
an eye to the security of the invest
ment both now and in the future.
The money raised so far has been
mostly of largo denominations.
Whether the balance will be raised
in the same way or by smaller sub
scriptions remains to be soon. It is
believed ftiat there are many in and
about Alliance who have money they
can invest in a safe and sane business
venture, and that no difficulty will be
experienced In raising tho amount
needed. The new hotel will repre
sent an Investment of probably be
tween $85,000 and $100,000 and all
that remains to be raised Is some
thing like $10,000.
Need for New Hotel
Right now the hotels of the city
nre taxed to capacity. This does not
happen one night a week, but every
night. Yesterday every room and
bed in tho Alliance hotel was engag
ed before 5 o'clock. All thone who
deplred accommodations after that
time were compelled to seek a bpd
elsewhere. This Is a condition that
ought to be remedied and will be
remedied by the erection of th new
hotel. There are many who neglect
to register on arrival, thinking they
can get a room at any time, only to
be disappointed when they make the
effort In the evening. The night
trains bring In many.
It Is not an uncommon thing for
persons who arrive In Alliance on the
night trains and early morning trains
to be compelled to sit up until 7 or 8
o'clock in the morning, waiting for a
room to be empty so that they can
get their rest. By that time, they
must be up and going about their
business, and lack of rest after a
long trip is a real hardship to them,
This trouble Is not confined alone to
commercial men. . There are many
women and children who are Incon
venienced in this manner. The need
for more and better accommodations
is apparent. The remedy is at hand.
The money has all been raised with
th exception of a few thousand dol
lars nnd this will be raised within a
weel, at tho most, it is believed.

Stockmen's Reunion and Fair to lie
Combined Into Rip Roaring
Old West Celebration
Every Indication points to the fact
that the Stockmen's Heunlon to be
held In Alliance, probably on June
27, 28 and 29, will bo absolutely the
biggest thing of its kind ever staged
here. That opinion Is Justified by
the fact that the directors of the Bo
Butte Fair Association, at a meeting
held Friday night, assented to the
proposition by the Alliance Commer
cial Club at a joint meeting of the
directors of the Commercial Club
and the board of the fair association
held here January 11, 1917. The
Alliance Commercial Club will ad
vance $1,000 In cash to bo designat
ed as receipts and thereafter any pro
fits or losses incurred will be shared
on a 60-60 basis between the Com
mercial Club and the fair association.
It Is planned to make the Stock
men's Reunion a combination of ev
erything a fair could be and in addi
tion a bigger and better show than
has ever been staged at any previous
Stockmen's Convention. With races, -Bucking-horse
contests, wild west ex
hibitions, probably a carnival with
all its side shows and attractions,
maybe a "49" dance hall, and In fact
all the trimmings there should be
crowds In attendance the like of
which Alliance has never seen before.
Tho Reunion will be In fact a re- -union.
The old boys and the young
hoys will renew acquaintances of the
past, make new friends and enjoy a
time such as was only seen in the
West of old.
