Thursday , April 12 , 190 ( , .
,
It is difficult for even the resident -
dent of this state to reali7.e how
rapiclly the state is developing.
It's growth , during the past five
ye rs , has been like a fairy talc ,
but there is every indication that
the same period in ad V3 nce wiJl
show even greater progress.
This is not a boom , but a good ,
steady growth , based on the
wonderful resources of the state
and the far-seeing wisdom and
energy of its citi7.eus.
The election at Ailiance last
week resulted in a victory for the
law and order forces-the principal -
cipal edict being that "the gamblers -
blers must go. " For a long time
Alliance has had an extre1l1ey )
bad 'reputation throughout the
state and 1t is to be hoped the
new administration will do a
good job of house cleaning so
that hereafter a citizen of that
place-when away fromholl1e-
will not blush with shame when
they ay t.hey rcside atAlliance _ ,
Nebraska.
An Appology.
A communication from Mr.
Scott , of Anselmo , last week
giving the obituary of Mrs. Sco-
ville and a card of thanlts by the
family and a communication from
our regular correspondendent
from Lee Park , were either acci-
dently or mal1ciously removed
from the copy hook and destroyed -
ed before it was set. It is the
first case of the kind that h s
happened in our twenty years in ,
the ne'wspaper business and we
shall see that it is not repeated.
Band Concert SAturday Night.
The band will give its initial
concert on both the north and
south sides next Saturday night
and we know we are not wrong
in sayinc ! it will be greatly appreciated -
preciated by itizens. The band
which now numbers sixty-two ,
has been practicing rcgularly
twice a week during the past
winter under the direction. of
Prof. Taylor and attained an
excellence seldom reached by a
country band , rendering in an
almost professional manner the
highest grade selections , At
this first open air concert Ted
Osborne will blow a solo Oil the
big bass drum and he hop'cs none
o'those in attendance w111 deem
it incumbent upon themselves to ,
present him with a boquet of
cabbage leaves and carrots that
, have slumbered in the cellar all
winter.
Prelbyterian Church DedicAted.
The new Presbyterian church
was dedicated Tuesday night.
The very unusual part of the
propam that is usual on such occaSiOns -
caSiOns was that the entire expense -
pense of the building had b'een
paid before the date of ded1cation
wis arran ed. The services
were presided over by Dr.
' 1'homas L. Sexton of Lincoln ,
abd the dedicatory sermon was
preached by Rev. Geo. A. Hay , of
St. Paul. . The prayer was' offered -
fered by Rev. 'rhos. Clark of
Grand Island. . .
A DeniAl.
Comstock , Neb. ,
April 9 , 190 ( , .
It has been circulated all over
Custer County and other places
that the village of Comstock was
incorporated for the sole purpose
of g tting a saloon in here. Now
we want to inform the public
that it is not true and that there
is not one word of truth in it.
Further more , the majority of
the citizens that signed the petie
tion to have the village of Comstock -
stock incorporated would not
sign a saloon petition.
We want to say for the information -
mation of the public that the
villafe of Comstock was incorporated -
porated for the purpose of makIng -
Ing a better town of it , and not
for the purpose of getting in a
saloon. It is not for tJle village
board . to say if they want a sa-

loon. ' 1'hat is left with thc'citi -
ens of Comstock.
li'urther more , it has been rumored -
ored that the town was incopor-
atcd in an underhanded way.
1'0 this we sa ) ' that the petition
was circulated nl1 around the
town and every clti7.en had a
chance to sign it. The petition
was taken to Brolten Bow , the
county seat of Custer county , by
two of the busincss men of the
town , presented to the county
board in form and the chairman
of the count } ' board appointed a
committee to investigate. That
committee reported favorable , . so
the county board declared .the
village of Comstock incorporated ,
according- the statuates of the
state of Nebraska. 'l'he county
board appointed a board of trustees -
tees for the village of Comstock
and everything was qone accord-
ing' to [ aw.
We , as Americau people and
citizens of the village of Comstock -
stock want to say that we deny
any statement to the effect that
we were and are the instigators
of getting a saloon in here. We
will. perform our duties as near
as we Imow how and will try and
live in the bounds of the law.
Some of the people of this village
has this board branded as saloon
bums , but we know from where
it comes and consider the sonrce.
