The 3. Of r. =. BAN.

Every train coming into Dodge City On
last Wednesday seemed to dispose of the
larger portion of its passengers at this
station. and by the time the last train had
deposited its portion Of the visitors, it was
variOusly estimated that from 1875 to 200
strangers had arrived in the city upon an
invitation from the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen to be in attendance at their
second annual ball. This order, about
one year ago. gave a most successful ball.
but the one of last Wednesday night has
certainly eclipsed anything in the way of
balls ever given in this city. McCarty' s
rink heretofore has been considered large
enough to accommodate any social gs tn :
ering until last Wednesday evening it be-
came too apparent to those who ha1 to
stand and even await their .r-.. 10 dance.
that little more room would be most
acceptable. The hall was neatly and
tastefully decorated with emblems OF the
order, lanterns, flags. ETC., and reaching
across the stage was a banner bearing
this inscription: Fred Gardner Lodge

occasion, and it but adds one more to the
already long list of brilliant balls given
by the different railroad orders. Not on
" are these balls popular with the peo'
pie OF Dodge City, but their notoriety as
the most successful and pleasant dances
has reached far and near.
To be in attendance at one of these
balls is TO enjoy yourself. to enjoy your

2ND. The membership of the Club in
cludes men of every political faith, and
a good number of the representative bus

tains. a well furnished room which is al
ways open to guests Of the city. or friends
of its members.
5TH, We earnestly protest against the
prostitution of this organization, by any
party. party organ or individual, whether

AN English syndicate recently sent an
expert mining engineer to look up the
old gold mines in Portugal. He struck
one of the old Roman mines worked in
the days Of Cesar Augustus. In those
days they cut down to the vein, and this
vein was five hundred feet deep befor
pay rock was reached. The mine was
open for an area of ten acres or more
up to the surface, every foot of ground
having beel. taken of. The debris
around these I'D mines could be worked
over at q profit were they in America,
