The ball given on the evening of the
18th ult. at the rink in Chadron by Long
Pine division, No. 173, o. r. O., was one
of the greatest social events that has
taken place in the "Magic City" fo1

alone demonstrates the popularity of the
gentlemen composing this fraternal
society and very commendabie organiza.
ton. The hall was clean, cool and ele-
gantly lighted, and the tasty decora,
tions were emblematic of the Order oil
Railroad Conductors. The floor was
never in such excellent condition, and
the music furnished by Prof. Hovey'e
orchestra-of Norfolk-was absolutely
faultless even to the most classical cal
and scrutinizing critic. Everything was
managed so perfectly that the happy
people reluctantly left the floor wher
the last note sounded and re-echoe6
throughout the spacious ball room
The thirst of the great crowd was ap
peased by having free accession to two
or three barrels of ice cool lemonade
served by colored porter. Another
important feature of the entertainment
was the supper served by Host O'Han
Ion at the Chadron house. It consisted
of all the fine staple articles of food as
well as every variety Of nicknacks, in
clu5ing fruits without end-all of which
was prepared by hand long expe
rienced in the culinary art. The several
committees were alive to their respect
i've duties and consequently not jan
occurred to mar the pleasure of the eve.
ming and enjoyment of everyone present
The handsome bouquets worn were pre-
sented with the compliments of Mrs. A
M. Wright and Mrs. r. Flanders. This
the third annual ball will long be re.
membered by those who participated.

Through an arrangement entered into
between the proprietors OF the Leading
shows Of the country the great Van
Amburgh shows, which appear in Stur-
gis, Thursday, July 80, wih be the only
tented exhibition Of any Importance that
will visit this section Of country this
year. Already the circns-loving portion
OF this community is on the tip-toe Of
expectancy over the coming of the old
reliable Van Amburgh aggregation, and
it can be set down as certainty that it
will attract tremendous crowds. The
proprietors of this well-known establish
ment, who are the acknowledged leaders
Of the circus business of America, are
said to have outdone all previous efforts
in this line. both in the novelty of the
entertainment and in the wonderful
features exhibited. The securing of the
famous pigmies from the wilds Of Africa,
at an enormous outlay of cash, is evil
dence that the managers Of this great
show are bound to exhibit to it's patrons
something new and worthy the great
name and reputation it already has
The street parade, will take place al
noon which is most commendable
step, as it gives those living lat 9
distance an opportunity to take in
everything. After the parade grand
free show will be given on the show
grounds, which is said to be the hes,
ever given. We confidently predict
enormous crowds

InIngaIIs' Committee Room.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. March 16.-Sena-
tor PETER has stepped into Senator In
gals shoes with vengeance. Not
content with taking Ingalls, place in
the senate, Mr.. PETER has had his pre-
decessor's committee room assigned to
his use during the three months which
he will spend in and near the capital
city while converting this section of
the country TO fiat money and govern
ment loans on real estate security. The
room OF the senate committee on the
District of Columbia may b. best de-
scribed as an ''iridesccnt dream of poll
tics." Senator Ingalls, had il construct
ed few years ago to suit his own
| ideas. The space inclosed was once the
main corridor OF the senate, and part OF
il was occupied by the post office.
| Where the letter boxes were IS now "A
handsome marble MANTLE surmOunted
by rich mirror. A fire of hickory
wood burns on pair of cleaning brass
irons. The great chandelier once orna-
mented the White house. Over the
Brussels carpet is great Turkish rug
of the finest texture, and about the
room are easy chairs'of the most COM
Portable description. The day before
Senator Ingalls, term expired he re-
duced his clerk to the rank OF messenger
and appointed his son as clerk ut So a
day, and nothing to do until the middle
of next December, when the committee
will be reorganized. Having thus pro
vided for the ingalls, family, father and
son turned the room over to the ser
geant-at-arms and meandered other
where's. Mr.. Valentine has now or
dered the room kept open for the benefit
of Senator PETER, who retires to its lux
ury, locks the door, and admits no one
who cannot give the Alliance ran

sugar Shipments West.

New YORK March l6.-Immense ship
ments OF sugar will be made to the west
before April 1, when the section OF the
Mckinley bill abolishing the duties goes
into effect. The Southwestern Railroad
association has decided to divide the
sugar by percentages as it is offered, as
the unusually big consignments will
tempt some one OF the railroads TO make
o very low rate TO the sugar trust or
condition OF its being given all the bust
ness. The southwestern railroads seem
not to have very much confidence in
each other. There was no evidence
that any one of them was after the
sugar, but they imagined that the for
bearance could not last and that q simu.
ltaneOus dive was going to DO made for
It by the whole lot. This would have
the effect Of demoralizing rates.

THE bill prohibiting aliens from own
ing lands tn Kansas is now law Of the
state. It provides that all alien owners
must sell their land within five Jears or
become citizens of the United States.
In case they fail to do either their lands
will be sold, and after payment Of costs,
the proceeds will be deposited in the
state treasury subject to the order OF
alien owners. The large amount OF
land this law will put on the market
will be astonishing to those who have
not given the matter much attention.
One man alone, Lord Scully, owns about
1000 acres OF land In Kansas.
