Over a hundred deaths in Kansas City
and nineteen in Denver resulting i nd
according to a newspaper article, Gen
eral Superintendent E. Flynn of Lin
coln has ordered all employees to pub
mit at once to vaccination. To date
no such instructions have been priven
out from this office and it is not prob
able that such will be the case as no
smallpox caes have been reported
along this division.

Alliance Branch of
Dicrks Lumber Co.
Makes Fine Showing
The Alliance branch of the Dierks
Lumber company is feeling highly
elated these days over the business
done here, as compared with figures
submitted by other branch companies,
of which there are fifteen scattered be
tween Alliance and Kansas City. A
summary of the business at the Alli
ance yard shows that the financial con
dition of this territory is exceptionally
good, compared with other localities
whei-e the company has yards.
According to F. W. Hargarten, local
manager, the volume of business at
Alliance ha doubled in the past seven
years, while the records for other
yards between Alliance and Kansas
City shows that the volume of busi
ness during the same seven-year per-,
iod has remained practically station-,
ery, and some yards report a decrease. ,
In comparing collections with the
volume of business, Alliance makes an

Rev. B. J. Minort
Talks to Rotary
Club Wednesday
Rev. B. J. Minort, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Alliance was
the speaker at the Wednesday dinner
of the Alliance Rotary club. Mr.
Minort spoke on some phases of the
character of Christ that are not or
dinarily emphasized. The Man of
Galilee, the speaker said, has been
spoken of by preachers since time im
morial as a man of infinite love, gen
tleness and meekness. The;e are out
standing traits of the Christ, he said,
but the manliness, the courage and the
strength of the Lord have not been
sufficiently emphasized.
Mr. Minort admitted that the church
did not appeal to men as much as it
had in days past, or as much as it
should. The fault was not with men.
but with the church. The church of
the present day, ho said, is not suffic
iently aggressive to interest red-blood
ed men. He agreed with a recent
speaker before the club, who chareed
that the narrow-mindedness of theolog
ical discussions operated to keep them
away from the church. Religion should
be made to appeal not only to women
and children but to men who are grad
ually falling away from the church,
and who are finding inspiration in
other associations. The crying need
of the churth today, he said, is for
more man, not simply more men. j
The entertainment committee of the
club is trying to arrange for a visit
and address by A. C. Luehring of Ihe
department of athletics of the univer
sity of Nebraska, who has been mak
ing a series of addresses over the state
the past week or two. If he can be
secured for next week, a number of
high school athletes will probably be
invited to be present to hear him. -
Colored Man Fined
For Carrying a
. Concealed Weapon
A colored man eiviner the name of
George Simpson is now languishing in
tne city bastile, awaiting the ime
when $30 falls down from the skv into
his lap. All that stands between
Ueorge and liberty is that sum of
money. He was arretted Wedneadty
night in the Burlington station, wlien
city police officers discovered that he
was toting a concealed weapon, and in
police court Ihursday morning, Judge
Berry assessed a penalty of j2j and
costs. George, who claims to have a
homestead fifty-one miles south of
uilette, Wvo., duln t have the money
to pay, and was taken to the cell room
until friends come to his rescue or
the fine is served out at so much a day.
Simpson drifted into Alliance via
the freight car route and he was well
heeled, carrying not only a revolver,
but a wicked-looking sawed-off shot
gun. Chief Jeffers was not, satisfied
with the answers he made to ques
tions.' The colored man claimed he
was headed for Omaha to get a permit
to carry the gun.
