METHODIST CHtllCH
The sermon topic Sunday morning
will be: "What the New Testament
Teaches About Love." Owing to the
poverty of our language, two differ
ent words having a different meaning
are each translated "love" in our
Engllfli bibles. This has caused much
misunderstanding anions ChrlFtlcn
people, has been the cause of false
theories of religion, and has been the
making of many hypocrites who are
honest in thinking they have "the
love of God shed abroad in their
hearts." The sermon will make It
very plain what Christian love is, so
that no one need be in doubt as to
whether he has it or not
There will be no evening service
at the church, and all our congrega
tion are invited to attend the union
rorvlco in the high school auditorium
where Rev. Mr. Epler of the Chris
tian church will deliver the class ser
mon for the 1920 class of the Alli
ance high school.

COUNCIL TALKS OP
A CITX MANAGKIt
(Continued from page 1)
and an examining board, consisting
of the superintendent of the light
and water department and the chief
of the fire department, will pass
on the fitness of applicants before li
cense is issued. The old ordinance
set a license fee of $5, and during
the past few years there has been a
flood of "wildcat" electricians who
came Into the city, underbid the lo
cal contractors, do work in any sort
of slipshod way they see fit and get
out of town as soon as they get their
money. Alliance electrical contract
ing firms asked for protection and
they got it, although it will cost
them $75 a year.
Councilman Harris couldn't see
why these wildcatters would be any
more likely to pay $76 a year than
they were to pay $5, and the city's
records, he said, failed to show any
outside firms had taken out licenses.
He thought that proper inspection
was all that was necessary. Later
he withdrew his objections, It they
were objections, and the ordinance
passed without a dissenting vote.
Need for Inspection.
E. O. Campbell, superintendent of
the city light plant, declared that
there were a lot of wiring Jobs that
never were inBpecte-. The owners
or renters of various buildings In the
business district, he said, made re
pairs or changes at will, and some
times they did the work themselves.
He thoucht a license fee of $75 was
not nt all excessive, as somebody had i
to pay for the time spent In inspec-j
tion, which took time and gasoline
for the city's car. I
Ben J. Sallows arose to remark ,
limb L L-l U .V V. V UUk. v . V u . .
when meters were installed amount
ed to quite an inspection fee in itself.
He said that he had five meters at
his home and office, and that the $50
deposit required ought to pay for a
lot of inspecting. City Clerk Ken
nedy reminded him that he didn't
have a $10 deposit on all of those
meters, and the discussion lagged.
F. M. Uroome Heard Prom
City Attorney Mets read a com
munication from Frank M. Broome of
Antloch, who, a short time ago, was
discovered to have a deed to one of
the lots o nwhlch the city ball is lo
cated. Mr. Broome wrote that he
had been kept pretty busy since re
ceiving Mr. Mets' letter, and that in
asmuch as the title to that lot bad
stood in his name for a long time
he rather thought that the matter
could go over for a few weeks longer,
after which he would do his best to
come to Alliance and see about it.
Mr. Meta also read a letter from
the attorney general of Nebraska, In
answer to a question as to whether
city taxes have to be collected thru
the county treasurer. It seems that
the county treasurer Is designated by
law to make collection, and his com- j
mission for the past year amounted .
to about 2.5 per cent of the total;
amount collected. Mr. Mets, In bis
letter, said that he believed that col
lection could be made through other
sources at less expense, and inquired
whether it would be legal to make
other arrangements. The attorney
general's opinion was to the effect
that the statutes provided the method
of collecting city taxes and the em
ployment of other means would be
illegal.
Fire Limits Prescribed. '
The council passed an ordinance
setting the fire limits for the city,
and in the future, within a district
taking In Box Butte avenue from
First to Eighth, a half block east on
Third, three blocks west on Third
and a part of West Fourth, no build
ings can be erected save of fireproof
material. A section in another ordi
nance prohibiting the keeping of in
flammable material within the fire
limits of the city was repealed.
- Councilman Harris brought up the
question of the city's finances, a re
port from City Clerk Kennedy show
ing that some of the city's funds
were getting low. The general fund
wasn't as strong as It ought to be,
and the bills for April would, when
paid, leave the police fund in the
hole. A motion was made and passed
that $1,600 be transferred from the
sewer maintenance fund.
The storm sewer fund Is also low.
At the last city election bonds to the
amount of $10,000 were voted, and
as these have not been sold, there
was some question as to whether
warrants could be Issued against It.
Inasmuch as It is only a matter of a
short time until these are disposed
of, as the Interest rate is attrcative.
the council decided to go ahead and
Issue warrants against the new
bonds, provided it becomes necessary.
TELL YOUU TIIOVBLES
TO riUSCLLLA DEAN
For some weeks The Herald has
carried a series of beauty talks by
Trlscilla Denn, who Is an artist in
more than one way. Seldom If ever
have we seen topics of that nature
handled In a way that Is interesting
enough to make men folks read them,
and time and again we have had to
pry the printing office devil away
with It, tell your troubles to Miss
Dean Is witty and cheerful, and
entertaining and above all she
knows her rubject thoroughly.
Therefore we are glad to an
nounce that Miss Dean has arranged
to answer questions. If you are
troubled with anything from liver
spots to fallen arches with freckles
that won't lie quite, or with hair
that simply will persist in being
stringy, no matterhow hard you work
with It, tell your trooubles to Miss
Dean. Send your letters to Prlscilla
and If you want a personal reply
enclose a self addressed envelope
with a two cent stamp thereon. If
you want a reply In the columns of
the Herald, It's not necessary to en
close anything. Sign your name if
you like, or your lnltals. Miss Dean
Is hired to Berve you and she may
be able to make you look good
enough yet so that the manly brake
man on the next block will look back
twice before turning the corner.
In the event that Herald readers
should be consumed with curiosity as
to the Identity of our Prlscilla, we'll
say that 6he Is a movie actress a
recent acquisition of the Universal
Fillum crowd. Her chief production
to date Is "The Virgin of Stamboul,"
a serial that has anything beaten we
ever glimpsed a chapter of. She looks
even better than her picture shows
her to be, and she knows whereof
she writes.
ANOTHER OIL GUSHER
IN TIIEJSAGE FIELD
New Well HrmiKht lit lflt of Week
on Section Twenty, One Mile
Hint of Alliance (lusher.
According-to reports reaching M-
j llance on Saturday, a second gunner
j has been brought In In the Osage
field, located on section 20-46-63,
one mile east of the gusher brought
In on March 14 by the Alliance syn
dicate. While details reaching the
city are meager, it Is stated that the
Initial production Is as good as that
of the first gusher, estimated at one
thousand barrels daily. The oil sand
was reported reached at practically
the same depth 1,300 feet.
The striking of oil in a second
deep well proves, so the large oper
ators say, the Immense richness t.f
the field. The first well was brought
In on March 14, after over fifty shal-
llow wells, ranging In depth from 300
J to 600 feet, with production ranging
. from ten to fifty barrels, had been
drilled. The shallow wells brought
In their oil In a shale, while tha deep
wells are In an oil sand, said to bu
the Muddy sand.
The Wilson-Warren company of
. Omaha is reported to have found ex
cellent oil showings at a depth of 21 J
, feet In Its teBt well on 35-46-63, near
Tedro. The same company has spot
ted rigs on 26-46-63, 6-45-62 and
36-4 6-63. The Vindicator company
reached oil at 500 feet in its well on
13-46-64.
We have some very attractive
light weight raincoats for women
especially serviceable at this time.
