John Walker, a teamster living at 409 Lin- coln avenue, lost his house and all its con- tents yesterday morning about 5 o'clock. He got up and lit two fires, after which he went aut to the barn to attend to his team. A few minutes later his little child ran out and told him the house was on fire, He hur- ried back and found smoke pouring out of the door. Running to the nearest patrol box, ho tricd to turn in an alarm, but not under- standing the system, failed. As the fire de- partment did not respond he jumped on his horse a few minutes later and started for the engine house. In the meantime some one who knew how found the door of the fire box open and turned in the alarm, Walker met the department as he went down, but before the latter could reach the honse the fire hiad gone so far that it was impossible to save anything. The daimage fs estimated at between §800 and $1,000, which s partially covered by $000 insurance. The blaze was tho result of a defectivo flue.

Curtains of smilax adorned the Qoorways, tied back with nosegays of white hyacinths. =All the curtains and chandeliers were adorned with smilax, and the mantels were hidden from view by a profusion of pink and cream roses.

The Twentieth Century club was royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Goehring at thelr cosy home, on Fourth street, Monday evening, December 31, 1894, Pink and white were the colors chosen for the occasion. The ladies were attired in pink and white, and the gentlemen assisted in carrying out the design by wearing pink ties. A profusion of carnations, faultlessly arranged around the rooms, produced an effect which was the pink of perfection, The society was called to order by the president, Mrs. W. J. Leverett. A character sketch of Nathaniel Hawthorne by Mrs. C. P, Railsback proved that this gifted lady is an artist with the pen as well as with the brush. This able paper was followed by a select reading from Washington Irving's *Le- gend of Sleepy Hollow,” by Mrs. A, W. John- son. A characterization of Thoreau was read by Mrs. Laura J. McBride. ‘This excellent paper was a credit to the writer, as well as the noble life so familiarly dealt’ with. The guests were favored with a song entitled “The Open Window,” by Miss Margaret Me- Bride, whose sweet young voice gave added pathos to the beautiful lines by Longfellow. W. J. Leverett read a paper on Emerson, This dissertation was so carefully prepared that it Is deserving of special mention, It was a masterplece of literary effort. The program, which was of a substantial nature, was' concluded by the rendering of several pleasing selections by a quartet, composed of members of the club. ‘Ordinarily this Is the signal for adjournment; not so upon this occasion. As the now year was about to be ushered in the guukts Avere ushered out to the dining room, wheré small tables were spread with the daintlest of refreshments, re- minding those present of the good things the coming year held in btore for them. Car- nation pinks were placed by each plate, pink and white ice creamiwas served, and nothing was omitted in making the entire evening a perfect success. ®hat Mr. and Mrs. Goch- ring are adepts in [tho art of entertalnment needs no further proof. CONGREGATIONAL" | MEN BPHER. Business men, as'f rile, shrink from the ordinary church socfdl, hence the gathering at the parlors of the First Congregational church New Year's 'nfght was rather remark- able, as it consisted of about seventy-five men, not a single lady, or a marricd one either, being present. The occasion was one of the ‘‘coffee chats such as the Sunday Evening league of that church has given se: eral times. Light refreshments were served, and, as the company remained seated about little tables, an interesting program w 1 formally given. P. Dodge gave a very interesting and valuable historical paper con- raing the incipiency of Congregationalism in England. Some of the events and incl dents concerning places and men were of thrilling interest, and were new to most of the hearers, Mr. Dodge having spent much time and research in gathering data and ex- amining authorities on this subject. W. J Leverett read a humorous selection on “How They Boomed the Elgin Church.” Then came some imaginative New Year's resolu tions. C. P. Railsback told what he resolve for the new year if he were an editor of a Council Bluffs paper. It was evi dent that Mr. Railsback would be quite con servative, and more zealous to print only truth than to tickle his subscribers by sen sationalism, D. W. Otls kept the crowd k 100 GET TO- JANUARY 6, 1895, merry for twenty minutes by telling what he would do If he was a tramp. He thought the first thing he would do would be to go out of the business. He thought he would Join the Salvation army. This gave him a text for touching up the churches a little for not being more ready to welcome a tramp who was seeking to reform. He paid a pleasing tribute to the Salvation army, and quoted a saying of one of its members, who remarked in defense of his red shirt, “Yes, we have red shirts, and red hats, and red badges, but 1 can take mine off when I want to, but some, I see, have red badges | which they can't take oft.”" J. C. Rixby was asked to tell what he would do if he w chief of police. He said the first thing he would do would be to run Otis in, and ap- point Harry James to superintend the coffee making and meals, he having shown his proficiency as a. caterer at these coffee chats of the league. He switched off from the hu- morous to a very sensible, earnest outline of needs of reform in municipal government throughout the country. A. B. Walker gave a very fitting closing to the evening by a few thoughts as to what he would do if he Was a young man. Some of the ladies connected with the Con- gregational church pretended to feel rather miffed at the idea of the men spending New Year's night in a coffee chat all by them- selves, and 8o, at the suggestion of Mrs. A, §. Hazleton, whose husband was one of the re- creant coffee chatters, these indignant ladies gathered at her home, 623 Seventh avenue, which is within a stone's throw of the church parlors, where the men were having such a jolly time. The ladies evidently did not mourn as those without hope, and the absence of the sterner sex did not appear to lessen the enjoyment of the evening. Mrs. Hazleton provided refreshments with her accustomed lospitality, and ingeniously provided, too, for a soclal merry-making, in the form of an art contest. Each lady was requested to draw upon a slip of paper a picture of some fa- miliar object, and then to pass it around for each to guess its name. Mrs. Mueller was awarded the honors of the evening. The contest was a jolly one, and even the fair artist who tried to draw a fish did not, re- fuse fogiveness to the one who guessed it was a paper cutter. YOUNG FOLKS HAVE FU Mr. and Mrs. George J. Crane entertained a large company of young folks at their ele- gant home, 232 Park avenue, on New Year's eve. The gathering was an observance of the twelfth birthday anniv say of their daughter, Mae Crane. The guests all ap- peared in fancy costumes, representing pages and Kings, Jesters, tambourine and flower girls and a great variety of characters, A voting booth was opened and a merry con- test to determine which wore the most unique and pretty costume resulted in the award of of the first prize to Claude Matthal, who im personated Uncle Sam, and the other prize to Miss Helen Runyan, who was dressed as a brownie. The spacious parlors were elab- orately decorated with festoons of green, brightened by lilies, roses and chrysanthe- mums. An informal program of recitations and music helped to make the evening pa sWiftly, and the striking of twelve with the ushering in of the new year was marked by a salute from the rifles of the High School cadets, who were drawn up in line on the awn. About seventy throats opened wide, and after a series of hurrahs, the company indulged in such rousing choruses of “He's a Jolly Good Fellow,” and closing with “Auld Lang Syne.” Miss Clara Wyckoff entertained a number of friends at her home, 220 Tenth avenu Wednesday, January The evening w spent in dancing and various other amuse- ments, refreshments being served at a late hour.

The afternoon was spent in a very enjoyable fash- fon, the guests entering into_ihe sports with a zest that characterizes affairs where the Scotchmen are in such an overwhelming ma- Jority as they were on this occasion, A game of foot ball was played by everybody, and a pigskin never before suffered such a squeez- ing and thumping as that one did. The old Scotch game of bowls was also played, and last but not least a big dinner was assisted in its great vanishing act by appetites that were whetted by the athletic sports.
