The dance at the Henry House, last
Thursday evening, was the most sue
cessful affair Of its kind of the season.
The ''brave and fair" beauty and cul-
ture of the city were there, and the
evening was one of great enjoyment.
Many of the ladies appeared in elegant
and beautiful costumes, and those of
the sOmbre-clad gentlemen who were
possessed of raptTOus souls were afford
ed brief season of aesthetic delight.
The music was very good, and twelve
or twenty-four o'clock supper, prepared
in the excellent style peculiar to the
Henry House management, materially
helped to heighten the general pleasure.
The morning was three or four hours
old before the party broke up for home.

From various parts of the county come
numerous complaints from subscribers
that they do not receive their REFLEC-

state of affairs should exist. The

All parties who fail to get their Re-
ELECTORS hereafter will confer favor
upon us by notifying us of the omission
at once.
The basket supper at the Lutheran
church, last Thursday evening, was not
so largely attended as it should have
been, a fact probably due to the fact of
other entertainments at various places i'll
the city. w. S. Stambaugh was the sue
ceSSful auctiOneer, and the baskets
brought very fair prices, something over
$50. being realized from their sale. 1t
is very reasonable to suppose that the
basket purchasers secured good Suppers
and excellent company to eat them in.

derstands from this report that want Of

Now, gentlemen Of the grand Jury, this
Is very serious matter; one that, II true,
should cause every citizen who Is a we'll
wisher Of good to this community to rise up
and assist you and the officers OF the law to
put a stop now and forever to this debauch-
cry OF the public morals by bringing the
offenders 10 justice.
You have plenary powers to inquire
into all crime, and the court states to you
that you can perform no higher duty or be
OF greater service than by at once investiga-
ting this matter to the bottom, and II such
state.of affairs does exist as is set forth In
