I. e. Clohecy and wife departed for
Salt Lake city last Tuesday evening.
The cause of their sudden departure is
the illness of their daughter May, who
has been attending school in that place.
We hope soon to hear OF her recovery.
Parties going out for the winter should
not forget the Importance of subscrib
ing for the semi weekly KEYSTONE. 1t
will keep them posted on all local oc-
currences of interest, and tell them just
when to return by giving an exact ac-
count of the weather's condition and the
opening Of spring.
As natural consequence, the execu-
tive force Of the KEYSTONE Office felt
somewhat disturbed" on Wednesday,
after the ball, and it was only by the
united effort of the entire crew from
chief to devil that we succeeded In get
ting out at all. A few important local
items were omitted III result thereof
and appear in to4day's issue.
Jones says he cant work; he doesn't
feel natural; sometEing is wong; but
now he explainsit all by remarhing that
there hasn't boen the usual semi daily
charity subscription list around for
three days. If some proyident mortal
can find a suffering cat or some ''stiff'
that hasn't had his usual drinks, he can
confer a great(?) boon to the humanity
over here by standing in with us for a
relief fund. It might lend the office its
natural tone and again set things in us
ual order.
Among those present from abroad at the
A. 0. q. w. ball were Mrs. and Miss
Gallagher, Miss Huntington, Mr.. Hicks
and wife and Mrs. Bixby, of Bellevue;
Mr.. and Mrs. Condor, Mr.. and Mrs.
Motherwell, Maj. Hyndman, Miss Par
sons, Miss Furey, John H. Cannady, S.
J. Friedman, Mr.. McCombs, Mrs. Cramp-
ston, the three Misses Bledsoe, Mrs. Nc
Callum, E. G. Coffin, Miss Lille Moore,
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ness and Miss Ed
munds, of HALEY, and Mr.. and Miss
Bradley, of Boulder.

The Alturas Literary Society at Union
Church last night presented its initia-
tive performance to a crowded house
The programme having been announced
through the columns OF the KEYSTONE
in two issues, news of the entertain
ment reached every body in the city linn
its and Judging from the magnitude OF
the audience we guess nearly every
body in the city limits were present
Standing room was at a premium.
The opening was an instrumental
Duet flute and organ. Mr. Ballman then
astonished the audience with sundisput-
able eloquence in q defamation, and he
was succeed by Miss Nellie Easley, who
recitcd 1.-THE New Church Organ" Miss
Easley possesses the natural grace and
meditation of voice requisit in good
elocutionist, and her recitation was re-
ceived with manifest appreciation. The
song by Mrs. McLennan, Mr.. Lewis and
Mr.. Warren was greeted with an enchore,
| which was unmistakablc evidence OF its
effect. The dialogue by Misses Griffin,
Clary and Easley, and Mr.. Hill, was very
well rendered considering the crude
ness OF stage facilities, and we were con-
WINGED that none better than Miss Clary
could be found to advocate the question
of s'woman's rights" She exhibited ev-
ny qualification of the stern necessity.
The song by Mr.. Van Ruth, and the
readingby Mr.. Richie were both well re-
ceived, and the latter was rendered with
the proper meditation of voice though
not quite lond enough. '.The Buriel of
Buck Franshaw' if read with any degree
of infection cannot fail to excite laugh

represented by the typos of the KEY

of the moment was farce of some mer-
rit. The inocent jokes perpetrated were

occurrences by the actors The bottle,
though filed with water, pleased the
eye Of the visitor, Mr.. w, and he s1ay
i to" like grim death to a Niger" 1t
must have been cold surprise
The debate consumed thirty minutes
in the second part Of the programme,
and was decided, by the Judges, Messrs.
Lockman, McLennan and Happy Jack,
in favor of the negative.
/ The programme for next Friday will
appear in to-day's KEYSTONE.

Xmas.

The good ladies of Ketchum are doing
very magnificent work in striking ev-
erybody for s'suskins" to further a
Christmas Tree scheme. The tree is to
be decorated in the school house, whence
the young generation of Ketchum will
repair on Christmas Eve to be filled with
the grand old delight of behoIding the
majestic effects of Santa Claus in all
their splendor. Anything to make
young hearts beat with gladness and
old pockets to pungle within their means,
is a good scheme, and we hope the
thoughtful ladies' engaged in this happy
enterprise will meet with due success.
Mrs. McLennan, Mrs. Bemis, and Misses
Bledsoe, Clary, Griffin and Easley were
out in the cause Thursday.

on the all-important topic, of Christ
mas Tree; and the various business de-
tails pertaining thereto
After the election of President and
Secretary Of the meeting the report of
the very efficient and successful Solicit
ing Committee was received, and it was

reinforcements.

Exercises to begin at early lamp light,
giving ample time for the little ones,"

A Girl.

Ed Thompson came into the KY
STONE office Tuesday morning with the
merriest countenance and the blandest
smile that has ever cheered sanctum.
We could see it in his eye, hear it in the
accent OF his good morning" and were
intensely pleased to behold a new
CLEAN of true happiness shoot over his
face when he said it was "a girl Suf-
fee it to say. it was; it weighed II
pounds, and is the cheeriest nugget Of
precious humanity that ever broke the
silence of household or set up oppesi-
tion to O canary bird.

Ye Who Have Homes

Or hope to have, look well that We
guard them we'll. To the mountain
man home is almost myth, and yet
Unborn in every mans heart. no matter
what his habit, there rests longing for
a local habitation and name, and to the
throw every safeguard round the home
circle that ingenuity can devise. spare
no care that thought can give.
There is no one thing taken into our
homes so dangerous as the ordinary re-
fined petroleum of commerce; hence,
the man who does not use care in buy
ing his supply Of coal oil is grossly neg
lecting to provide for the safety Of his
family. Elaine coal oil is absolutely
safe. The fire underwriters Of the
United States rate it safe as gas. To
test it, fill the bowl of an ordinary lamp
with it, and after lighting the lamp un-
screw the burner and set fire to the
wick at the lower end, and gradually
immense it in the bowl of the lamp. In
stead of the Elaine igniting, as would be
| the case with ordinary oils, it will ex-
tinguish the flame on the wick as it en-
| tiers the oil. Then screw the burner
tight on the lamp, lift it and carry it as
very careless person or child would
sideways or upside down, aud it will
invariably go out, or upset it by acct
dent. and the same result will be accom-
/ plished.
We beg to offer an apology for having
taken SO much of your time, but having
| just received car load of Elaine, and
believing that if you will investigate the
matter no other oil will find its way in
! to your homes, and that result make us
| public benefactors. We have presumed.
| You will always find somebody in, al
ways glad to see you. COFFIN BROS.

negro for marrying white woman who Is
