Ladies not allowed upon tho floor when thoy did
appear In calico dresses. Such At least was tho
statement OF the committee, but II would puzzle q
masculine eye 10 recognize the homely material
most OF the costumes so tastefnlly was made up
and trimmed aud so gracefully was 1t worn and
adorned by the fair ladies. No one looking down from
the balcony upon the brilliant moving mass OF coJr
al the graceful dancers moving to delightful music,
would dream that no was not gazing upon the
regulation satns and laces. Many OF the dresses
were donated to tho lodge and will be
distributed to the various charitable institutions IN
which It is Interested. Dancing was begun al nall
past O'Clock and kept up until the stars
paie and the moon had SGT. The decorations OF the
building were very tasteful, aud the various commit
tees exefted themselves the utmost to make The
affair enjoyable for all. The hop was oi compll-
mentary character, and fees OF any kind were
charged, the object being SIMPLY amusement Every
booy seemed 10 dance constantly except while
paying = visit TO N ilsson Hall where supper was
served. II was the second affair vi the Kind given by

ARKANSAS CITY JOYOUS.
AT LAST! AT LAST!!
EFrom Che Winfield, Kansas Telegram. ]

FToul VIC W iuilNitii MIXERS lRltSFdiU,J
AT last the long suffering and patient
people Of Arkansas City have been rc-
warded. The steamboat that they have
SO many years prayed for has at last ar
rived, and is now quietly resting upon
the waters of the Walnut, Just east
of Arkansas City. A proud day for Ar.
kansas City was that one upon which
they heard the whistle Of the Little Rock
Steamer, and knew that their fond hopes
of one day being able to prove to the
world that Arkansas City was located
upon navigablc river had boon rcalz-
cd, and we rejoice with them. Tho whole
OF Cowloy county rejoices with Arkan-
sas City in her victory.
The steamer which now floats upon the
bosom of the Walnut is stern wheel
steamer of sixty tons burden, and is cal
led g Aunt Sally" She was formerly
used rs packet between Littlc Rock
and some OF the up-river towns. She
arrived at Arkansas City Just fourteen
days from time Of leaving Little Rock,
stopping two days at Fort Smith, and
only running during the day time, after
running above Fort Smith.
This trip is made in tho interests of
Touring mills at Little Rock, whose
agent has been in Arkansas City for
some days, buying wheat They intend
carrying down the river two thousand
bushels of wheat.
We understand that this boat was sent
up as an experiment, and, if successful,
to be followed by regular line of boats
to be put on the river at once and as the
captain of the " Aunt Sally reports a
plenty of water, and no trouble in com
ing up, there is no doubt but that the
river is navigable. Soon Arkansas City
and Cowley county can boast a regular
line Of Packets between Little Rock and
Arkansas City, which will open up a
new and profitable market for our sur
plus wheat and corn. The railroads will
then either have to run in to Winfield,
and cut down rates, or they will not get
to carry off Cowley's crops. With reg
ular line of boats, the merchants, too,
will be able to get ther freight in, much
cheaper, and in just as good Il condition
as now. The st. Louis or New Orleans
market will be opened to our people by
direct communications and the great quos-
ton Of where the farmers shall sell their
grain will settle itself. Let everybody
rejoice and be exceeding glad.
