AN Irishman full of bug juice
and fight, yesterday morning,
went into Kiber's store and
helped himself to bananas and
also put his hands on things gen.
orally; upon being demonstrated
with by one Of the statesmen, he
showed fight and demolished
the salesman's shirt. Soon af-
terward he was placed in charge
of colored policeman Inge, who
started with him for the bastile,
at point opposite Tristram's
drug store he took the sulks,
pulled back and showed fight,
making an attempt to obtain
possession of the policeman's
SUCK and also Choking HIM.
Inge is a man who does not
like to be choked, so he choked
Mr.. Irishman and was forced to
throw him in the soft and sticky
mud that abounds in the street
near the drug store. When he
got up the Irishman was the
muddiest man in two states.
A city cart coming along, three
stout colorcd men were called
to Inge's assistance, the Irish
man was put on board the cart
and triumphantly carted to the
bastile.

Death OF Willie Halbert.

For the past two days the
death of Mr.. Willie R. Halbert
had been momentarily eXpec'
ted. He had been in bed at
the house of his brother-in-law,
Mr.. H. c. Mcintyre, Jr., for
about ten days suffering from
an attack of pneumonia, which,
despite the best medical atten-
ton and the most careful nurs-
ing terminated fatally at 2:2I p.
m, on Thursday. The deceas-
ed was the son of Capt. L. n.
Halbert, an old and well known
citizen ofthis county, who form
erly resided near Long Point.
He was born in Bastrop county
and at the time OF his death
was only % years and s months
of age. His parents and sever
al Of his brothers and sisters
were present at his death bed.
His sister Miss Cora, who is at
Cleburne, was unable to reach
here on account of high water
preventing the Santa Fe trains
from running below Cleburne.
For the past two years the de-
ceased had been a citizen of
Brennan and occupied the po-
sition Of clerk for several of our
leading merchants, and at the
time of his death was a sales
man for Mr.. E. Z. Finncy. He
was very quiet and unassum-
ing in his manners and by his
uniform politeness and exam
plary conduct he made friends
of all with whom he came in
contact, whether in business
way or socially. For some
years he had been a CONSTANT
member of the Baptist church.
His bereaved parents and re-
lations have the sympathy of
the entire community.

In Sundays BANNER we gave
a brief notice Of the masquerade
ball at the Germania hall on
Saturday night, but were una
bic, at that time to give list Of
any masquerraders, as no list
was kept by the door-keeper,
besides some objected to hav-
ing their name published. How
ever, at IL o'clock when all were
unmasked, considerable sur
prise was eXpressed-so conf
plete was the disguise ofsomc
that no one could identify them.
There were nearly fifty mas
queraders present, and num-
! Der of splendid costumes worn,
some of which we mention with
permission, viz: Mr.. w: Schmal-
stieg, a Switzer girl; this char
acter was declared by the
Judges to be the best character
in the room and was awarded the
first prize. The spaniard, as
represented by Mr.. Morritz
Fisher received the second
prize, and was real and life-like.
Mrs. A. Stelzig and Miss Fanny
Banner were tastefully attired
in paper costumes, made of
BRENNAN Banners-on the band
around their caps was the word:

BANNER feels proud Of having
been so well represented by the
true and the beautiful and bcgs
to assure them that we fully ap-
preciate the compliment ten
dered US. Had we been the
judges they should have had
both prizes. The cowboys
were represented by Messrs.
c. Minkwitz, Jr,, and Henry
Henniger. Benhardt Gehrman
was fully rugged out as the dar-
ing huntress, with gun, and
acted his part well; VIM. Zeiss,
IT., and {. Walker was the
funny clowns and caused great
sport; Joseph MUM, as the
peasant girl, was really splen-
did, in fact so perfect that Prof.
FELTON, danced with him after
he had unmasked, thinking he |
was a woman. Miss Mary Ter
NAL, as the queen ofthe butter
flies, was really beautiful and |
much admired. Mr.. Z. Zernial, |
as the printers devil in search
of more copy, was real good.
Misses Lena Zernial and Eddie
Dettmar, as shepardesses, were
very pretty and attractive. Miss
Sarah Kollmey was a fine repre-
sentative as the "child of the
regiment" while her brother,
Mr.. Julius Kollmey. as the
Texas convict, was not only
good, but seemed an oddity.
Misses Minnie Koch and Louise
Llndemann, as the pretty fairies,
were much admired and fire.
quently complimented.
There were other fine charac-
tiers represented, but as we did
not get their permission to men
ton them, we omit their names.
The ball was one of the finest
ever given in the hall, and all
who attended are lavish in its
praise.

highest price for hard spring. AL.
though our millers have on several oc.

would be pursued, it has never been
carried into effect on account of oh.
stacles arising, but this time they
give assurance that it will be strictly
adhered to. In the absence of such
discrimination our millers have seen
farmers Of the northwest gradually
drifting into the raising of soft wheat,
and already they feel the effects Of it,
and no alternative is left them but to
put a premium on hard wheat

An effort was made during the session

laws of this state so that chicken hunting
would be allowed after August Is. There
are people who seem to think that the
amendment was carried, but such is moi
the case. The law as it now is seems tt
have been passed in the interest of the St.
Paul Sporting Club. If its provision!
were enforced members of that club coult
enjoy hunting season in Wisconsin afte
August 10, and have Minnesota chickens
protected for them until after September /
The law however is openly violated in al
parts of the state, and no effort is being
made to enforce it. Hunters are busy an.
chickens are openly offered for sale in tn
markets. The amendment should hav
been passed.
