CHARITY'S CONTRIBUTORS
A Pleasant and Successful En-
tertainment for the Bene-
fit of the Poor.
The Charity Ball at Sicher's Park
Hotel Last Night was a
Grand Success.

When safe with the loved ones
And closed is the door,
Forget not the homeless,
Remember Gods poor.
When Fortunes sweet comfort
Has glaidened your store,
Forget not the hungry,
Remember Gods poor.
To the man or woman who makes Of life
a something which is infinitely beyond the
mere living there is pleasure greater than
words can express in comforting the des-
pairing and ministering to the needy, and
especially is This the case when the gifts OF
fortune have been so abundant that ii seems
to be duty to share with the less fortu-
nate Sedalia has no more needy ones
within her corporate limits than other cities
of like size, but as was said by one who
birth we will commemorate next Tues
day "The poor We have always" Sometime
ago il was suggested by the mayor thai
as the claim upon the city for the needy
was a heavy oEe, it would be feasible idea
to get up an entertainment of some kind by
which a sum could be realized which would
materially benefit this class, if not entirely
give them relief.
A charity ball" was therefore arranged,
and last night it took place at the Park
hetel.
The weather being very inclement, how
ever. the crowd of persons in attendance
was not as large as expected, but those who
did participate had a very enjoyable time
The music was by Friemel's band, and,
as usual, was very fine.
The following is a programme of the
dances: Waltz, Quadrille, Polka, Lancers
Saratoga, Waltz, Racquette, Qnadrille,
Newport, Lsncers, Waltz, Qnadriile, Schot.
tische. Lancers, Saratoga, Newport, Quad
rifle, Polka, Racquette, Lancers.
Refreshments were served at II o'clock
for those desiring them, consisting OF oys-
tets, cold turkey, ham sandwiches and
coffee. After the refreshments dancing was
resumed, and il was verging toward the
dawn ere the Jewellers final y departed for
their homes.
Among the guests present were Mr.. and
Mrs. j ID. Russell, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Fleisch-
man. Mr.. and Mrs. Chris. Hye, Mr.. and
Mrs, w ID. Ilgenfritz, Mr.. and Mrs Louis
Deutsch, Mr.. and Mrs. Callie Hardcastle,

The ladies worked indIstriously in SELL
inc tickets for the ball, there being about
400 sold Sicher Brothers very generously
contributed the use OF their building and
also the receipts from the street car line,
and taken altogether the affair has resulted
in a very handsome sum of money, by
which the wolf may be driven from the
door of the deserving poor of the city.
