Will Remain in This Country. George Richardson, a ranch owner of the sand hills southeast of Alliance, has returned from the east where he has been assisting his family to start on their long journey to England. Mrs. Richardson and daughters Kitty and Hope and grandson Noel sailed Friday, April 24. on the White Star Line steamer Cedric from New York to Liverpool.

The Cedric, by the way, is the largest steamship afloat having 38,200 tons displacement. Mrs. Richardson and the girls will remain in England for an extended visit and will take possession of property bequeathed them there. Mr. Richardson remains here and wishes it understood that he has faith in western Nebraska and that his interests are here.

On the expiration of his lease to Sisco Wells he expects to restock the Sandholm ranch and resume control of it under more advantageous conditions than heretofore, At present Mr. Richardson is occupied with business at Cedar Rapids, Boone county, this state.

It's Like Reading a Good Book to See The New Dominion. Mr.

Edgar A Martin, the young actor who will present the part of the German gentleman 'Baron Von Hohenstauffen, who endeavors to win "Flora May Randolph," the pretty Virginia girl, is the theme of the story, comes to us it is said, fully equipped for this great character part and he will be assisted by the best local talent our little city has to offer. It is said Mr. Martin has the ability to so thoroughly train and rehearse amateurs that their work under his direction always attains satisfactory results. The chosen cast are: Mrs. Wm.

Frackelton, Mrs. J. H. Bradfield, Mrs. F.

C. Williams. Mrs. H. S.

Martin, Mr. Ayen, T. A. Morris, Mr. Long, E.

A. and H. S. Martin. A play that is a connection of love, laughter and pathos has always been a popular play, a sweet, simple, little story, during the telling of which laughter and tears follow each other as cloud's shadows chase across the Big Horn mountains when bathed in glorious sunshine.

Commendable Changes. The action of the city council in separating the office of water and street commissioner and appointing a night policeman is of apparent benefit to the city. The duties of the water commissioner are sufficient to occupy the entire attention of one man. The salary is $65 per month. The marshal will also be obliged to act as street commissiouer.

His salary is fixed at $75 per month and all fines collected shall be turned into the city treasury. It has frequently been said that whenever you want the marshal he cannot be found. When there is only one marshal you cannot expect him to be on duty twenty-four hours in a day, hence the need of a night policeman. His salary will be fifty-five per month. This service will cost the city but little more than heretofore and the advantages to be derived therefrom are many.

The appointment of R. C. Noleman as attorney, M. A. Shay, marshal and street commissioner, Albert Wiker, night policeman and A.

F. Mollring as water commissioner, shows good judgment on the part the mayor. All the appointees are competent men and THE HERALD believes they will give a good administration. W. M.

Fosket, Hemingford's popular auctioneer, was in the city Wednesday night. Another consignment of war widows arrived in the city yesterday to file on homesteads. H. A. Allison, a well known stockman from the hills, east of Alliance, was in the city Monday.

The Ladies Union of the First Presbyterian church will meet with Mrs. E. S. Jackson Wednesday, May 13. Father Galvin went to North Platte Monday to accompany Bishop Scannell on his visit to various parishes in that section of the state.

He is expected home Sunday. Chairman W. B. Tagg is doing lots of hustling for the success of the stockmens meeting next week and if every visitor does not leave with kindly feelings for Alliance it will be no fault of Mr. Tagg.

Dr. Horn has distributed a few souvenirs among his friends and he has the thanks of the editor for a coin which he secured from excavations within a few yards of the great pyramid of Egypt. The coin is said to be 1700 years old. He also gave us a shell which he picked up from the Sea of Galilee. Sunday at the Baptist church, G.C.

Jeffers pastor: Subject of morning discourse "'Jesus' Appearance to Mary." Evening sermon, "'Serving God with What We Have." Sunday school at 10 o'clock. Juniors meet at 3. C.E. meeting at 7:15, Sam Smyser.jr., leader. Midweek prayer service Thursday evening.

A welcome to all services. James Bellwood has purchased the United Presbyterian parsonage, paying $1.275 therefor, and will be given posession of it June 10. The residence has been for sale for sometime, as the people of that church desire to build a parsonage on the vacant lots just west of the church and expect soon to begin the erection of a two story frame 26x28 feet with a 12x12 foot one story addition, which will cost in the neighborhood of $1,500. Mr. Bell wood will use the property for his own residence.

Latest Improved Fountain. L. A. Suprise has installed in his place of business an up-to date automatic carbonate soda fountain, the virtues of which he takes pride in showing to his patrons. It has many advantages over the old makes.

Third Quarterly Meeting. The third quarterly meeting for Lakeside charge will be held at the Luella church on May 16-17, 1903. A two days meeting will precede this, commencing Thursday evening. A cordial invitation is given to the public to attend. Neighboring pastors are expected to be present.

CHAS. H. BURLEIGH, Pastor. THE HERALD HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY ALLIANCE PAPER FRINTS ALL THE NEWS. NUMBER 20 Rev.

Dr. Horn returned to Alliance Thursday from his tour around the world. He was accompanied home by Mrs. lorn and son who met him at Columbus, Ohio, where they have been visiting for several weeks. Dr.

Horn is the picture of health and tells us that he has missed only one meal during his absence from Alliance and that was during a storm at sea. He left here October 16th last and has traveled thirty thousand miles. He met with no accidents but has had many thrilling experiences. Dr. Horn is welcome homed by his large congregation and a host of friends.

A reception will be given him this evening at the M. E. church, Mr. Muirhead making the welcome address. Dr.

Horn Returns. Whitfield Family Poisoned. W. M. Whitfield, his wife, five children and Mrs.

Ginn of Edgemont, who is visiting them, were poisoned Sunday evening by eating canned beans, They were all ill during the night except the oldest daughter and the baby, who had eaten none of the poisoned food. As the hours advanced all grew worse and sometime Monday noon Mrs. Ginn went into convulsions. Physicians were hastily summond and for a time it was feared she would not survive but by the close of the day all were out of danger and are now completely recovered. Elect City Teachers.

The schsol board held a session Monday night and re-elected the following teachers: Misses Susie Frazier, Inice McCorkle, Lulu Duncan, Katherine Duffeld, Bess and Fay VanBoskirk, and Messrs Carson and Hayes. Five more are to be elected. Another meeting will be held tonight. Salary Should be Increased. Postmaster Tash has submitted to the Department an exhibit of the volume of business transacted in the office for the month of April.

It shows the approximate population supplied by the office to be 8,000 and that he is handling the business of a second-class office with third-class facilties and compensation. Nearly eight hundred mail sacks were received and distributed, made up and dispatched during the past month. Mr. Tash and his assistants are obliged to work from twelve to fourteen hours per day and the present compensation is certainly inadequate. The Maypole Party.

Much praise has been bestowed upon the Maypole party given, by the younger pupils of Miss Minnie Morris' dancing classes at the opera house last Friday evening, many declaring it the best entertainment of the season. It certainly reflects much credit upon Miss Morris' ability as an instructor and upon her pupils ability to interpret the Terpsichorean art. It had a very good attendance. Moore's orchestra furnished music for all the dances by the class, Miss Merris playing for the others. We give the program: Song- Got Mine, Boys." Minuet- -Virginia Broome.

Wirth--Helen Broome, Leota Mollring, Gwendolin Johnson, Alice Morris. Two-step-Class, Varsouvaiana Glide Nellie Elmore, Virginia Broome. Spanish Yorke -Francis Lockwood, Gwendolin Johnson. Tambourine Dance- -Virginia Broome, Ruth Morris. Song and Dance- 'Won't You Play House With Johnson.

Waltz- -Class. Fisher Maiden--Josie Hampton, Butterfly Dance--Alice Morris. Manitou--Class. Cream City Minuet-Kate Feather, Larma Johnson. Umbrella Dance--Helen Broome.

Mirror Dance--Leota Mollring, Alice Morris. Double Skirt Dance--Helen Broome, Leota Mollring, Alice Morris, Gwendolin Johnson. Maypole Dance--Class. Each number is deserving of special mention but space forbids. The umbrella, mirror and double skirt dances were especially beautiful.

The mirror dance is Miss Morris' own production and is quite ingenuous. A frame was draped at top and sides, the two girls were much alike in appearance and were dressed so that one dancing back of the frame facing the audience and the other dancing in front with her back to the audience gave the impression that the one in front was dancing before a mirror, their movements ing in perfect unison. The song, "Won't You Play House With Me?" was heartily enjoyed and the young singer understands well the art of "singing to" her audience. One little tot, LaVaughn Moulton, who is scarce three years old, waltzes and two-steps in a manner that grown folks might congratulate themselves upon. After the conclusion of the program many of those present spent two or three hours in dancing.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION Expected to be Held in the City Next Week by Stockmen. BIG SOUTH OMAHA DELEGATION COMING Pertinent Addresses, Theatricals, a Ball and Races Will Make Occasion of Profit and Pleasure.

The arrangements are all completed for the entertainment of the visiting stockmen next week. The South Omaha delegation will come in a special car. There will be twentyfive or thirty in the party and they will arrive on Tuesday morning and stay until Wednesday. Advices received from outside points indicate a large attendance and it is requested that all who can furnish rooms for the visitors notify H. J.

Steen at the hotel Charters or Mrs. Johnson at the Hila Grande, at once, as it will be difficult for them to handle the crowds unless everyone helps and does his share. One of the features of the meeting will be a band concert on main street each evening at 7 o'clock by Moore's cornet band. The comedy at the opera house on Monday night, "'The Old Dominion," played by the Sheridan dramitic club, comes highly recommended and will draw a large crowd. The regular business meeting will be on Tuesday afternoon at the opera house and in the evening there will be papers read by R.

M. Hampton, W. G. Simonson, Robert Graham and others, after which will follow a general discussion of questions of interest to all stockmen. All stockmen, whether members of the association or not, are invited to take part in this meeting.

S. Mekiney, Sheriff Reed, Chas. Brennan, F. W. Lester, and A.

At 8:30 sharp the children's class from Miss Morris' dancing school will open the ball with a short program, consisting of fancy dances and specialties, after which the regular dance will begin. Considering the fact that it would be impossible to entertain all the town people and visitors at the same time in the hall, the committee have decided to have admission to the ball by invitation. Each business man in town interested in the entertainment will be furnished tickets of admission for himself and also three invited guests and it is requested that our out of town guests be the first to be invited.

Invitations must be presented at the door with the owner's name written on. The following committee will have charge of the ball: W. B. Tagg, chairman, E. C.
