Ye scribe took in the Catholic supper
in more senses than oue, and here is
what he saw and heard. The first to ar
rive were an eminent protestant divine
and wife. a leading lumber merchant. a
Republican justice of the peace and our
ex-county clerk. After this the tables
filed rapidly and as each guest descend
ed from the platform he could only ex-
claim, being too full for utterance, "It's
simply immense" A few leading fea-
lures were: Mic Mayrath's roasted pig.
and the cry of Oliver Twist. ''more
BEANS until it seemed corner in this
luscious vegetable must result. But Mrs.
Dnrand land the helr" simply chuckled
as they produced fresh pans full in what
seemed miraculous manner. Your
scribe not understanding how beans
could create such Juror and called for
some. When, 10 and behold, Such
beans the Gods never partOok of. Well.
about this time two gentlemen rushed
ont Of the rink in sharp contrast to the
manner they had entered. When Your
| informant in much alarm enquired the
cause. They hurriedly said '.beans" and
madiy hied themselves into the city to
warn their friends not to miss the sup
| per at the rink. Your scribe has seen
| people eat in his time, but in the Ian
guage of Peck's Bad Boy, They just
reached for things But the manage
ment only smiled again. and the beIated
guest, a man from Bellefoat, was treated
as well as the first of the 80 mouths.
Your informant essayed to test the truth
of the statement. as he liked to get at
the bottom Of things and thought they
must be at the bottom now. quietly
called for lunch at a. m. and found the
coffee equal to the first cup served in the
evening. One curious feature was the
old soldier from the Home who ate five
suppers. Being asked if the Home was
in any way to blame for this. the soldier
hurled backed the impeachment of the
Home and declared the motive was to
help the Church and get away with so
many good things. But this was thrown
in the shade by prominent banker. who
astonished his wife and paralyZed the
chef du cuisine by calling for more beans
seventeen times by actual count. The
carving of meats is itself worthy of men,
ton.
Meanwhile the eager hosts intent on
dancing began to marshal their forces.
the hum of pleasant chat filled the air.
while ever and anon ripples of silvery
| laughter played on the outskirts of mer-
~ throngs. At the word go IS coup
was set for all. until suddenly the arm
of Professor Beeson fell helpless at his
side. and was thought at first to be par

toner W. y. Locke. who called attention
to the voting of a iady's chair and sill

ing was suspended and an excited crowd
surged Ground the voting precinct and
then began what finally proved to be the
most stubborn election contest on record.
Victory seemed to hover first on this
standard and then on that till at last
Miss Anna Sughrue was declared winner
with 70S votes. Miss Jessie Kelsey. her
opponent following closely behind.
The ugly men of Dodge City were on
hand in force, but they all seemed back

who was few ahead of John Madden
at the finish. Anyone who had wished
to press his claim could have easily car
ried off the silver prize, as the voting
was very light. The real fray was
fought on more popular field than that
occupied by ugly men.
The Catholic supper and ball may be
said to be the social and financial event
| of the season.
