JUST OVER THE 1800000 MARK
Last Week and the Good Work Still Goes Steadily Onward
Securing Stock Subscriptions
TO THE BIG TEMPLE OPERA HOUSE ENTERPRISE
The Work Has Just Begun and When the Busy Boosters All Get Busy
Nothing Can Resist the Projects Onward Sweep
What a few interested citizens can accomplish in a few days is
indicated by the array of stock subscriptions to the Masonic Temple
Opera House given below While this may not come up to the ex
pectations of some people it appears to The Tribune to be a
source of congratulation rather than of anything approaching dis
aouragement and while the list does not yet contain the names of

some the people of this city have a right to expect to be in the fore
front of such a community enterprise it does contain some splendid
evidences of public spiritedness The Tribune believes that those
who are now withholding their support of the project will in the
near future come into line and with good sized subscriptions sub

No man having a large interest in McCooks advancement and

Is It a Larffc Bluff
While tho officiate of tho trunk linos
of railway east and west nro practically
agreed upon tho necessity of ndvancing
freight rates it is doomed to bo a physi
cal impossibility to make any immediate
change Tho enormous amount of de
tailed work connected with tho readjust
ment of rates including tho printing
and checking of tens and hundreds of
thousands of tariffs makes it impossible
that tho rate increases can be made
effective beforo next fall October 1 is
named as tho earliest date in which any
systematized and comprehensive ad
vances that may be agreed upon could
bo put in working shape It is said
that tho proposed advance at first con
fined to class rates may bo extended to
include some of tho commodity rates in
trunk lino territory Itisquito possible
however that notwithstanding tho dis
tractions of the impending political con
test a revival of business activity during
tho noxt five months might chango tho
plans of the railway managers A gen
eral advance in freight rates would nip
like a killing frost tho budding promise
of business revival It is an expedient
of delay and continued depression

Closing Scenes at Alliance
The saloons of Alliance closed Tues
day at midnight in accordance with
the edict issued by the people at the
April municipal election It was a bit
ter dose for the liquor interests and
they lost no opportunity for doing
business before the drouth Liqucr
was sold in all sorts of ways and the
closing hours all kinds of more-or-less
aljoholic stimulants went at about any
price that could be had A large quant
ity was sold at auction alo at private
sale When closing time came some of
tho places told the crowd to help them
selves and the scramble for booze was
anything but tame After closing
some of the night hours were noisy
but no serious damage was done For
a time there will doubtless be plenty
of liquor to be had for tho asking
but then well we shall see what we
shall see Alliance Times

A Chance in the Star Route
The department has authorized a
change in the route of tho carrier on
the McCook Quick star route Under
the old arrangement of years the carrier
returned to McCook over the route out
going Under the new order now in
effect the carrier will return from Quick
over a road a few miles west of the pre
sent road This will give service to
quite a number of citizens living west of
the old route and will confine service
on the old route to but once a day
the outgoing trip Thus at no advance
in cost to the department the postal
service will be extended to quite a num

deprived of any service except by going
long distances They will now be able
to put up boxes along the route and get
a daily delivery therein

care and bespeak for him a bright fu

falso pretenso
I hate it for its commercialism
I hate it for its greed and avarice
I hato it for its sordid loo of gain at

bauch tho suffrage of tho country for
tho cowards it makes of public men
I hate it for its utter disregard of law
1 hato it for its ruthless trampling of
tho solemn compacts of state constitu
tions
I hato it for tho load it straps to
labors back for tho palsied hands it
gives to toil for its wounds to genius
