Greatest Success OF the
Season.
Facts About the Prosperity Of the
Town AS Observed by a "Re-
view" Correspondent.

The dedication ball OF the /. o. q. Il.
of Cheney lodge No. 2l, in their elegant
new hall on Friday evening was by far
one of the most social and pleasant par
ties that had taken place in Cheney for
long period of time. and the guests en-
joyed themselves probably better than
for several years. The town long since
has borne the reputation of having the
best dancers, the handsomest ladies, and
facilities for getting up the most enjoy
able parties, and on this particular occa-
sion they really by far outdid all pre-
vious records. Prof. I. l.. Harris or
chestra Is too well known thIoughout
this portion to need any praise or recom-
mendation; suffice to say the music
was such as cannot be excelled. The
members of the "three links organi-
zation, especially those of the different
committees, arc deserving OF much
credit for their efforts and success in
having everybody to feel at home and
enjoy themselves. A magnificent sup
per was served by Richard Rhodes, and
also at the restaurant, and not until the
wee sma hours did the enjoyment
cease. About forty couples partici-
patcd, among whom we succeeded in
collecting the following names, in
