solved partnership by mutual agree
ment on Wednesday of this week
nnd tho company has discontinued

The burning question in this coun
try Is what to burn. Arkansas Ga
zette.
LACK OF QUORUM AT
THE COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday evening's council session
was a flat failure, so far as the tran
saction of business was concerned.
There was lacking one member to
make a quorum, and although the
evening was spent In listening to F.
A. May of the Nebraska Telephone
company, no action of any kind was
taken on the franchise question or
any other.
A meeting of the council has been
called for next Friday evening,
which will probably be held at the
Community club rooms. The council
chamber Is still occupied by influenza
patients. Mayor Rodgers delivered
some sarcastic remarks anent the
missing members, and a full attend
ance is looked for at the Friday eve
ning session.
NO MATERIAL CHANGE
IN THE FLU SITUATION
City Physician George J. Hand this
afternoon announced that there is
little change in the influenza situa
tion in Alliance. There has been no
increase In the number of virulence
of the cases. The city's temporary
hospital is still In operation.
POLICE COURT BUSINESS
IS NO LONG 1 2t Itl SHlNd
Maybe the prohibitionists were
right about whisky, beer and crime
marching hand in hand, or arm In
arm, or shoulder to shoulder. Police
court ain't what it used to be. Busi
ness Is dull. It's not only February
that shows a decrease In trade the
decrease has been gradual ever since
the fateful first of July when Joy-
Juice ceased to be an article of mer
chandise and went into the clas3 o'
lururies with a scarcity value.
Police Judge T. M. Roberts has
made out his report for the month
of January, and it didn't take him
long to do It. There were only six
arrests. On eof these was an Intox
ication charge the first In some
months. The other five were for
gambling. The total fines amounted
to but $60, and when the costs are
added In, the grand total doesn't ex
ceed $60.
If anyone tells you the world Isn't
growing better, you have our permis
sion to tell them where they get
off at.
"I see the villain in your face,"
said a western Judge to an Irish
prisoner.
"May it plaze yer worship," replied
Tat, "that must be a personal reflec
tion, shure."
