ALLIANCE WOMAN RECEIVES
LE'IIER FROM CELGM 5IHL
Mrs. L. H. Highland has received a
letter from Manette do Norman, living
in Brussels, Belgium. The I t tie Bel
gian miss was "talopted" by Mrs.
Highland, who has been sending
money for her support for a number
of months. She writes in French in a
beautiful handwriting for an eleven-year-old,
and is apparently very anxi
ous to please her American friend.
Her letter follows:
"Madame and Pear Godmother: For
the firt time I am writing you and I
offer you my earnest w;: h for happi
ness durng the year which has just
begun, and tell you of my gratitude
because you h;vr tikon me under you
frotection. You kow. Madame, thi't
am an orphan of the war. Mv father
was killed at the Yser, the 24th dav of
October, 1!)' 1. Hp fore the war he was
agent for the Sea and River Insur
ance company. His death caused us.
mama and me, great sorrow, and
placed us almost 'n poverty. Mama
lias two hundred francs pension, but
due to the increased cost of living she
has been obliged to accept employment
in ?,n oTice, although her health is not
very good. The money which is sent
us from you each month pays for my
instruction. I am eleven years old, I
am in the fifth year of studies, I am
learning English, and as soon as I
know how to write it, I will write you
in English. In the hope of receiving
news of you I fake the liberty also of
asking for your photograph. I beg
you to accept, Madame and Dear God
mother, the expression of my deep
gratitude.
"MANETTE de NORMAN."
"Madame: I join with my little
daughter in offering you my sincere
hope for happiness during this new
year, and in telling you of my very !
deep gratitude for the projection you
have afforded mv little daughter. 1

noon READING
Did you ever stop to think that
the advertisements of the bono
mei'h';nls in this new-paper make
it a better newspaper?
Well, it does. Advertising teaches
progress, economy and confidence.
It teaches progress in keeping
you abreast of the times, of all that
is new and desirable in foods, rloth
rg, 1 o nes, supplies and comforts
of all kinds.
It teaches economy through in
forming you where the best prices
may be had because economy is
not only in tLe mere sa:ng of
money but aNo in the intelligent
spend'ng of it. t
It teaches confidence through the
'inowlodre gained in knowing you
live as nthcr folks live; enjoy the
things they enjoy that you have
the ' line advantages.
The text book of our worldly
comforts is written in the terse
lines of our merchandising adver
tisements and it is well worth
reading.
If we read the advertisements we
soon realize that they can work to
our advantage just as much as to
the merchant w:th something to
sell.

The committee of Royal Highland
ers selected to represent the pioneer
certificate holders in the enforcement
of the contracts has assurance from
the attorneys that the decision of
Judge Good in the Henthom case dis
poses effectually of several issues that
have been raised in the controversy.
Four of these, it is believed, are fully
disposed of, although the scope of the
court's opinion may not have definitely
set them out. The first is that the
society had full power to issue the
pioneer policies and that they are
valid. Second, that no law in the state
of Nebraska has ever'ihhibited the is
suance of these policies. Third, that
no sufficient showing has been made
to indicate threatened insolvency of
the order by reason of the payment of
these certificates and fourth, that these
policies do not lack mutuality of bur
den and benefit as compared with other
policies held by other members of the
order, so that those members can re
pudiate them. There is a feeling of
confidence among members of the or
der here that the decision of Judge
Good will cover in like manner all of
the pioneer certificates in existence.

A telegram commending the work
done by State Sheriff Gus Hvers and
his deputies in Scot. bluff ami vicinity
has been sent by S. K. Warrick of this
city to F. A. High, superintendent of
the Anti-saloon league of Nebraska,
at Lincoln.
The telegram follows:
"F. A. High, supt., Fraternity B!dg.,
Lincoln, Nebraska. Gus Hyrs and
iwo deputies iloing great worn this
valley. Captured fifty gallon still
Bayard. Four arrests and seven hun
dred dollars of fines. Four arrests here
Friday. Six hundred dollars of fines.
Four arrests here yesterday and to
day and probably one thousand dollars
of fines. One man third otTense and
liable to penitentiary sentence. Com
mend work to proper state authorities.
, "S. K. WARRICK."
This telegram sent liefore the city
council adopted resolutions condemn
ing the sheriff and his methods as
"Prusriian," is but one of many com
munications that have been sent from
this city to the state officials.
Letters and telegrams by the score,
it is said on good authority, have been
going forward to the governor since
the council sent in its recommenda
tion fo rinvestigation. These have not
only spoken in praise of the work done
by the state officers, but have urged
the governor to make a full investiga
tion before he accepts the judgment
on the officials of the Scottsblutf city
council. Scottsbluff News.
ALLIANCE A. C. TEAM
WALLOPS BAYARD FIVE
The Alliance Athletic club basket
bull iuintet annexed another easy vic
tory from the Bayard Legion team last
Friday on the Bayard floor to the tune
of fil to 2S. The game was fast and
interesting in sp te of the one-sided
score and the locals were compelled to
scrap for everp point made.
The A. A. C. team is rapidly round
ing into mid-se.von form ami their
splendid team work and basket shoot
ing will compare favorably with that
of any team of its kind in this section
of the state. The players are, with
lone exception, former Alliance high
chool men. A number of games have
j been scheduled with good, fat teams
, and anyone who is interested in a
I clean, snappy basketball contest will
I do well to watch for announcements
and plan to attend, when the local ath
letes are scheduled to play at the high
school gym.
The first half of the Bayard frnme
was an evenly matched affair with
loh teams playing furiously, GrifTis,
Alliance center, kept his team slightly
in the lead with some long and difficult
hots that surprised even his own men.
Brennan at guard displayed fine form
ami held the Hayanlites to low pcore.
.Toiler got in some good floor work at
the other guard position while Bads
gard and Edwards assisted in the term
work and located the basket at regu
lar intervals.
The last period was played with the
Alliance iuintet having the advantage.
Time and time again Gritfis found the
loop with the ball, shooting from al
most every angle nfter getting away
from his guard who had had instruc
tions to stay with him. The contort
was cleanly played throughout, not a
single foul being called on Alliance?
and only three on Bayard. The line
ups were as follows:

Lend Baird in "As a Man Thinkcth"
' scheduled for the Imperial tonight.
This play by Augustus Thomas has
been done into a movie and is said
to be an even better production than
whi n it graced the boards. Leah Bafrd
is advertised as a most beautiful
American girl, which certainly does
not detract from the picture. The last
two or three heroines have not been
easy to gaze upon.
"The Spark Divine," with Alice
Joyce, is the Wednesday attraction.
Miss ,Ioco takes the part of Marcia
Van Arsflale, who, becau-e of an un
happy childhood, is rmb ttored ngainst
the world. Her beauty attracts Rob
ert Jardino, known as the "Copper
King." She receives him with an icy
exterior. In the meantime her father
becomes financially embarrassed and
Marcia agrees to marry Jardine in or
der to save her father. She performs
the duties of wife and mother with
the same icy indifference, until, one
day her child, a bov, is stolen. It is
then that the "Spark Divine," the fire
of mohpr love, is fanned into a (lame.
"Harriet and the Piper," starring
Ani'a Ktewnrt, is the Thursday bill,
it is ir'f-ribed as a "cinema cocktail
of Bnhonvnn life," and in i t . M Stew

Peter Haag, aged inmate of the
county poor farm, was taken to the
state insane hospital at Hastings last
Saturday evening. Mr. Haag was ad
judged insane two years ago, but had
been allowed to remain at the poor
farm, his condition not being particu
larly serious. The past two or three
weeks he has been giving Superin
tendent Burkholder considerable trou
ble, not only refusing to bathe himself i
or allow himself to be bathed, but be- .
cause of an hallucination that every
thing with which he had anything to
do was filled with batteries. He re- :
fused to get out of bed and dress
when Sheriff Miller called for him, but
finally allowed himself to be per- (

PRINTERS' LINGO
The following is a specimen of
printers' technical terms as commonly
used in most printing offices. This was
handed in to the News by Col. Folks
Huxford, he having clipped it out of
an old issue of the Valdosta Times ,
published about thirty-five years ago. '
It shows that printers' terms used
back then are similar to those of to- j
dav. The clipping follows:
"William, put Gen. Washington on
the galley, and then finish the murder
of the girl you started yesterday. Set
up the ruins of Herculaneum and dis- j
tribute the smallpox. You need not
finish that runaway match but have !
the high water in the paper this week.
Put a new head to General Grant and 1
lock up Jeff Davis. Slide the old dead
matter into hell and let that pi alone '

The American Banknote company
was given judgment for the full
amount of their claim against the de
funct Alliance Tacking company fol
lowing a hearing in county court last
Thursday. Burton & Reddish repre
sented the plaintiffs, who sued for $350
for engraved stock certificates ordered
by the president of the company, R.
E. Plumbe. The defendant company
was not represented in court by attor
neys, and judgment was rendered in
default. VV. R. Metz, lately attorney
for the company, has severed his con
nection therewith.
The Hyannis Tribune may safely be
clas.-ed among the irreconcilable.
That newspaper publishes occasional
d;gs at the Burlington because of the
"stub" train that handles passengers
for that place, and the following is a
fair sample: "When the 'stub train
left Alliance Tuesday there were six
teen passengers aboard. When it left
Ilyjmnis there were seven aboard, none
of whom were ticketed further east
than Mullen so that after it left there
the conductor and brakeman each had
a couch to himself. Traveling men
inform The Tribune that this is almost
a daily occurrence and residents along
the line wonder what they have done
that the Burlington continues to pun
ish them by maintaining the 'stub' in
stead of handling the business with
43 and 44."

DRAFT BOARDS ASKED TO
CHECK LIST OF SLACKERS
The war department has sent out
requests to former chairmen of local
draft hoards to go over the list of
draft evaders and report on men whose
name appear on the list wrongfully.
This action is taken, Secretary Ba
ker said, in order that no innocent men
shall be held up in their communities
a slackers when they were not. It is
;n line with the policy of the war
department not to publish the list un
til the names of all innocent men have
been marked off.
The war department has finished its
check and the navy is now going over
the lists to ascertain whether or not
the names of men who served in the
navy are carried on the dishonor roll.
Adjutant generals of the various states
have been going over the lists alfo
and it is understood several thousand
names have been scratched olf by
them.
In the letter to former draft officials
Hie war department a. k.- thr.t board
members report any facts or any sje
citic information as to n man whose
name hudd not appear on the lbt by
reason of death, military service, etc.
"As the department defies to pub
lish the deserter list on the earliest
practicable date, it is requested that a
prompt reply be made to this com
munication," the department asks
deaf' -board chairmen.
The lists will be furnished to l-nnrdjj
only with the understanding that they
will he treated as confidential.
The policy of the war department
with reference to men who are shown
by the draft records to be in a status
of desertion under the selective serv
ice regulations is to eliminate the
names of such men as are not prop
erly chargeable with desertion, "'when
necessary steps will be taken to bring
to justice as many of the men as can
be located concerning whom no mitigat
ing circumstances can be ascertained,"
according to the communciation to
board chairmen.
