Mr. Hiram Foster and family who left this county last spring and went to Ohio, returned this week. They all come back, bo cause there's no place like Box Butte. President Hanchor delivered his lecture "From Washington to Rome" at tho Methodist church Thursday evening. It was highly spoken of by every one. If tho Times don't like our stylo of affidavits, we'll give him some of Mr. Hampton's (rolative to the Draver business) which aro now on file in the county clerk's office. Thos. Pringlo and Willis Young deposited money on sub scription this week. Mr. Young also ordered The Herald sent to his brother J. T. Young, Hil dreth, Neb. Postmaster Lutsch of Lawn, J. T.

Ellis of thoTimos thinks he is getting a "stand in" in Al lianco by making a dirty, low lived fight in this campaign but the facts aro tho better oleinent of that town aro disgusted with him. The Alliance schemers havo given up all hope of having an election called. Their only chance was to havo tho commis sioners call an election "forth with" boforo their rotten potition could bo exposed, Mrs. E. A. Hall departed Thus day night for Eureka Springs, Ark., where she will remain sometime for her health. Mr. Hall has engaged in tho live stock commission business in South Omaha. The clothing house of Hointz Bros., at Alliance was closed under chattel mortgage this week and we understand that two other business houses aro about to follow suit, which we regret to hear. W. E. Waisnor closed a suc cessful term of school in Sioux county and returned to Heming ford. Mr. and Mrs. Waisner givo a reception in his honor this evening at their pleasant homo west of town. We are informed, for tho first time, by the Allanco Times, that we've got a $10,000 libel suit on our hands and that "Wm. Mitch ell and a celebrated criminal lawyer of Minnesota will prose cute the case." Wo will tell our readers all about it next week. If tho Intor State Townsite Co., is tho only "thing" backing Hemingford why does tho Alli ance Times brand such men as L. Sampy, G. C. Alexander, C, J, Wildy, H. R. Green, Eli Ger- ber, Anton Uhrig, John o'Keefe, L E. Tash and in fact everybody who is working to keep down taxation, as "lying, unscrupu lous, unprincipled hired knaves?" Tho Alliance Times published last week an official certificate by I. E. Tash when ho was coun ty clerk during the last county beat contest in 1890, and in editorial comments calls it an "affidavit" and insinuates that it is false. Tho first part of tho charge is imina tnrial and will bo overlooked for the reason that the editor of tho Times hasn't sense enough to know tho difference botween an i an affidavit and a certificate, but to the charge that tho certificate is false, wo emphatically deny. In that certificate Mr. Tash certified that a WARRANTY deed from the Lincoln Land Co., to Box Butte Co., for Block 35 in Hera ,,,.,., ,1 iqgford had been left in his hands to uo """voiou ui kiiu eminty when tho county seat was located at Homingford. That deed was DULY DELIVERED, AND IS RECORDED AND FILED IN THE AROHIVES OF THE COUNTY TO DAY, just as Mr. T.lsll rortiftpfl if. Wnnlrl lin nnrl when tho rn-nnln of r7omin.rfo.vi had erected a court house onsaid block, costiim Sl.100 more than they had agreed it should cost. Mr. Tash surrendered the 85,000 guarranty and Box Butte County lms been in undisputed possession of said property ever since, which U indisputable evidence that tho peoplo of Hemingford acted in goud faith and Mr. Tash wa- a faithful, efficient officer. r t t 77; B.L. Conner of Dunlap is in the city today. Boiug'owded for spaco last week wo id not havo tho oppor tunity to fully reply to tho dis graceful article published in tho Allanco paper concerning one of tho gonllomon employed to work in tho interest of tho citizens of Homingford and the honest, hard-working, taxpaying far-; mars of Box Butto connt.v in tlm uncalled for but expensive coun ty woat fight now forced upon them by a fow avaracious own ers of additions to Alliance and I a iew otnor narrow-minded, un posted illogical journalists (?) whose only idea of sottling a dif ficulty is by tho shot gun route. To stronsrthon our nosition that tho only argument that Al liance can put forth in this mat tor is force, wo cito the consorv tive, industrious farmers and laboring men of this county to the petition presontod to the board of county commissioners Jan. 10th purporting to bear only tho. signatures of resident electors of this county and strengthened (?) by tho oath of 'some of the representative (?) men of Alliance to tho effect that no other signatures appeared thereon, when but ONE glance at this honest (?) potition is suf ficient to convince man that, it is full of rotteness from top to bot tom; men's names appear on it that have been dead four years; I others who never were residonts of the county; othors who own and live upon homesteads in ad joining counties. Now what the honest, resident, taxpaying elect ors of this coulity want is- fair ness, and fairness wo will havo. They havo been in the west too long to have tho wool pulled over their eyes by any set of unscrup ulous schemers who, to add one penny to their purse would not hesitate to drag this county into usloss expense and doubly in crease the taxes of every prop erty holder in it, and shame upon ' tho man who would advise throug tho columns of his paper i tho "skull and cross bone" I remedy for any man who dares J raise his voice for humanity and justice. Now Mr. Journalist stop ' and think; think what would bo your: awful predicament to day ' if thn 71001110 -kf 'M'lnnn iinnntit t v..v ww,.w v..

Mifls Edna Johnson has finished a successful term of school near Dunlap. C. J. Wildy was down this way doing missionary work in behalf of Hemingford.

You'll bo lucky if one of ,,, , . ,J ' mo uuimuiasLuiiurB lots you oil ' wun mat amount and wo would suggest that you transfer your property immediately, if you haven't done so already. We've got ours in our wife's name now. Tho Alliance Grip thinks that wo aro dovoting too much spaco to county seat. There would bo no occasion if tho respectable people of Alliance would tako Ellis' shot gun awav from him and make throe or four more ly inrr boot-locrrrors 15r down Wn havo nothing against Alliance and liko to seo her prosper but when they attempt to steal what justly belongs to us, and allow a paper (?) to make dirty person- al attacks against old, respected citizens of this couuty, and ad- vise people to use their shotguns on them, we call a halt. The Farmer's Lament, Or How Ono Man 1'ared at tho Hands of Al liance A Bong of To-da. By H. R. Oro-m and 109 Others, Down in tho brick poor houso tho other day riat a farmer, old and Kray, Broken by a lifo of toll,, Dim and Mv-nut woro his eyes, Sad and touching wero his eighs, As ho moaned this dismal sonc, Wht'o the old world jogged along. "Ono fullhlooded Berkshire sow, Ono old sway-hacked sorrol cow, Two red heifers, weight unknown, And a colt, a strawberry roan, These wcro mlno both great and small, But Hampton got them all. Then I raised his hoary heal, "Come, cheer up, old man," I said: "Try to cuitivato a smile, . ' Homingford yet has tho county seat, And will keep it quite a whilo. But ho only sang avray, Palsied, old and gray: Ono old sorrol sviay-bnckod cow, One ten-dollar breaking plow, Ono farm wagon, nearly now, Ono corn planter, painted blue, Ono old maro whom namo was Hell, And ono deep drillod well: Nlco new paper on the nail. Bill Hlmonson's mortgago took thorn all. "Frlond," I said, 1 know its tongh, But I think you'vo groa ,rd enough: Let tho dismal past lie dt ad, Let it go -nud look ahead. Blighter da s are coming soon. And thoro will be no election in June, Starry nights aud sunny days, Bluer skies and better ways," But he sang his dismal lay, Palsied stricken old and gray: On old bee-hhe filled with bees, Ono old press for making choeso, Double harness, husking pegs, Kitchen table, minus lejrs. Hens a. d turkeys, ducks and get-te, Monkey-wrench and axle grease. Busted grlndstono, not much good, Fifteen cordH of pitch pirn wood, All Ihefo things wer mlno last fall Rut BnllUan swiped them all." It was vain to try to cheer, One so gloomy, sad and sore; Ko I left, and as I went, Fillod with pain and dis-contcnt, I could hear him sadly call: "Alliance got them alll" It is too bad that Mr. Hamp ton will not havo a chance to rent his building a fow months for court houso purposes, and then it is too bad that the Simon sons wont havo a chanco to fur nish tho material for a new court house. They are abont the only ones who want tho county seat at Alliance. Poor boys! The following named gentle men wero selected to servo as jurors for the March 10th terra of District court.
