The house was beautifully dec- orated with flowers and thirty-five guests were present. The afternoon was pleasantly passed in the pursuit of elusive five spots. The first prize, a beautiful Belleck cup and saucer, was won by Mrs. F. M. Loomis, and the second, a royal Worcester cup and sau- cer, by Mrs. Wallace Shepherd. Mrs. I H. Bvans succeeded in carrying off the conso- lation prize, a box of candy, in spite of strong opposition. Friday evening a party of ladies and gentlemen were entertained at the same place, and an enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and other amusements. Calanthe assembly, Pythian Sisterhood, gave a masquerade pary Friday evening at Woodmen hall, on Upper Broadway. The costumes worn by the maskers werc monu- ments of ingenuity, whether beautiful or grotesque. The crowd was large, and the evening was one long to be remembered by all present. Rebekah lodge gave a hox social Tuesday night at 0dd Fellows hall. Each lady was provided with lunch for two, and the gen- glemen were expected to drop a quarter and help the lady make way with the con- tents of the box. Both ladies and gentle- men performed their parts satisfactorily, and a good social evening was passed. The Dodge Light Guards inaugurated a series’ of parties Friday cvening at their armory in the Hughes building. A fair sized crowd was present and the efforts of the young men to entertain their guests were highly successful. The next enter- tainment in the series will be a military ball, to be given soon after Lent closes, SPENT AN ENJOYABLE EVENING. An informal gathering was held I Thursday evening at the Courcil Bluffs Medical and Surgical hospital in honor of the aniversary of its founding. A large number of the friends of the Drs. Laugel gathered and enfoyed the informal festivi- ties arranged for the occasion. An claborate feast was provided, after which the guests were toasted and roasted in the most ap- proved fashion. The evening was spent most enjoyably in music, song and orator. A rather unique entertainment was given last Tuesday night in the basement of Grace Episcopal church. It was a wood sawing bee. The efforts of those who en- tered-the contest to act as though they had been brought up on sawbucks were very amusing, and the audience was even more entertained than those who took active part. J. Gretzer was awarded the prize, a - fine rooster, as a testimonial to his ability to hold down the position of cock-of-the-walk.

Shepardson and Charles went into E. B. Adams' shoe store yesterday and bought a pair of shoes, one of them off the ‘dealer a check for $12.60 in payment. The check bore the signature of W. W. Coleman & Co, a firm which was not known to the dealer, and he accordingly found he did not have enough money to change (t. The clerk took it to the Citizens bank and found it was no good. The man who tried to pass it took left the shoes, and started with companion for the bank, to see, as he said, what was the matter. When the bank teller told him the stock was worthless he asked permission to use the telephone a minute, which was granted. Stepping up to the tele- phone, he rang up and without giving any number immediately commenced a pretended conversation with some one. From the half that could be heard by the people in/ghe bank it seemed that the phantom at the other end of the line told him to come to his place and get the cash. He hung up the receiver and started out of the door, when he was overhauled by Officer Murphy, whom Adams had put on the track of the pair. Both were put under arrest and locked up in the city Jail. Among Talbot's effects was a letter to a young lady in Ottumwa, which he had ap- parently forgotten to mail. In it was a par- agraph warning her not to tell any one of his whereabouts and to address his letters as he had previously told her, or he would be apt to get into trouble. In another letter from a young lady in Centerville, Ia., was a reference to an engagement ring that he had promised her, but had failed to keep his promise. In another pocket was a pawn ticket for a diamond ring which some three ball man had taken as security for a loan of §7, and which tells an eloquent story about the engagement ring that never came.

Mrs. Magner, a little old lady living in the northwest part of the city, went to a wake Friday night in honor of one of her deceased friends. While there she touched a brown bottle a number of times and when she got ready to go home she was in a de- cidedly mellow condition. She was walk- ing along South Eighth street near the corner of Willow avenue, when she suddenly decided to lic down and take a rest. Be- fore she had recovered a couple of young men named Will Wallace and Frank Reed came along and espied what they thought was the material for a rousing big sensation. They called for the patrol wagon and the prostrate form was _put on board. Reed held the cuddlesome form up against his shoulder and side by means of his strong right arm until the wagon reached the station, where Wallace jumped out and offered to carry it into the jail of- fice. The offer was accepted with alac- rity, and not even the strong flavor of John Barleycorn that percolated through the at- mosphere told im that he had made a large mistake in_taking Mrs, Magner for a dead woman. She could walk well enough when they got her inside, and Wallace's disgust knew no bounds when he discovered all the facts in the ca She was brought up before Judge McGee yesterday morning and told him all about it. When he found she had been merely attending a_wake he dis- charged ‘her amid a shower of blessings.

Ram. grand chief of the Order of Railroad Teleg- raphers, on the charge of countenancing and lending aid to the wire cutting on the Bur- lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road during the strike on chat road in 1802, will not come up at this‘term of the district court, & conuinuance having been granted until the March tern. The continuance wiis surprisc to those who had been watch- ing the case, und a source of much reg=et to Mr. Ramsay, who was confident of acquittal on the charge and anxious that the trial should go on. Many ugly rumors arve afloat, and itis rumovred that the coutinuance was cured 1n the interest of the railroad companies. These rumors lack contirmation, but many people believe them to be true, nevertheless, The coutinuance was asked for by one of Mr. Rumsay's attorneys, when he had espe- cially cautioned him that an effort would probably be made and that the prosesution would probably request 4 continuance, and to fight such a move, us he was ready for trial, and anxious for it. Mr. Rumsay was at Vinton, the headquarters of the order, when he heard of the continuance. He at once came to this city and tried to get the order set aside, but upon the claims of the prosecution thut many of their witnesses had already gone home and could pot be brought back in time for tvial at this term, the motio n was overruled. A close personal friend of Mr. Ramsav publicly charged Mr. Burnside, one of Ramsay’s ‘attorneys, of working against his client’s interests. ‘The attorney who sccurea the continuance says he did so, thinking it was for the best interests of his client for the reason that all the attorneysin the case could not be present at the ‘trinl. Mr. Ramsay will say nothiug except that the continuing of the case was a groat disappointwent to hum. Hesays he bad witnesses here from all pavts of the country, wany of whom he doubts can be secured again. Ex-Governor Johnsou of St. Louis, one of the great criminal lawyers of that city, has been at Vintoa since the continuance of the case, and it 1s understood he has been re- tained by Mr. Ramshy. The executive coun- cil of the Order of Ruilrond Telegraphers has consented to back Mr. Rumsay, und no woney is being spared to clear him of tho churge.

Physicians, and good ones, oo, hav tried to make him well and failed.” He says the injury he received from the fall ruined the heariug of his left ear, and that ne is nervous, has been out of his head and is, in short, a physical wreck.
