number CT prominent citizets, in
GLIDING the villa &c president and

is to be allowed, and neither drunken.
Eess nor al approach to it is to be
Permitted. A committee will pass
upon tire names of persons to whom

The Owl Mask Rail-.

The ladies of the Gvi Club gave
their haek ball last night, Thursday
March 9Th. This affair vas gotten up
l II a hurry, all the arrangements having
been made in less than two days. bat
nevertheless the ball was a decidcd
success. The crowd in attendance
was Just large enough for q | leasant
time, and everybody knows that those
who attend an entertainment at the
Owl Club alNays have n pleasant
time.
Owing to the fact that this is the
Lenten season the numbers of mask
ers was not as large as it would have
he'd the ball been given before or
after the Lenten season,
One of the attractions of the even
ing was the appearance at the hall OF
the DAILY DEMOCRAT Brass Band il
its debut before the public. the mem;
bers of which appeared in novel
u~nif6tfn and black faces. The boys
startled the town when they let fly
their music on the street in front OF
the Owl Club Hall. After playing
one piece on the street the band wa
ushered up the narrow stairway and
into the elegant dance parlor whert
the members spent the evening ming,
ling with the maskcrs aid how and
then rendering q chbice piece of music
This band has only been organized
only a few weeks but it is making
rapid headwa$ and if it continues tc
improve rs rapidly as II is now i'm
protine. it will not be many months
till it will be the leading band in the
city.
The music for the dancers vas furn'
ished by Eassel's Orchestra and o
course it was first class.
The ladies served luncheon at 1.
o'clock with lemonade accompani
ment and they had an abundance fol
all.
This was a mask ball out of season
but it was a success nevertheless ant
was just as enjoyable affair as wa
ever had in the Owl Club Hall.

Kansas is not alone in its prcduc-
ton of moral curiositics. Two talented
Young dimes in Wisconsin entered
into contract some months ago to re-
produce for the Chicago Fair a num-
Der of decorative statues from thu
classic creations Of sculpture, and
during tic present winter they have
been engaged in d~ischarging this Task.
Among the products of their skill
were exquisite "criss of "fenus,"
"Aucllo," THE Greek Slave" "IEG
| Gladiator aud The Disk Thrower.'
"A ilinerant evangelist, learning the
nature of the employment OF the
rounE artists, recently visited their
studio, and after all hour Gi ~critcCat:
and PRAYER finally persuaded them OF
the s~intulnrss OF their work. Chisel9
aud mallets were then seized aid tbs
statutes broken into Fragments. While
this destruction was in progress sev-
e-al friends Of the ycung Danes
! entered the studio, aud, inccnsed ri
the Vandalism they hchciu. unoerc,
moniously threw the jealous cvange'
list into the street and in trrr lc5ture1
the aspiring s.rlp,ofs UPON their
folly. Hitirin another hour the latter
hsd resumed work upon anotlpct
"venus." Travelling erangelists would
do wei 10 avoid that studio, unless
they wish TO pose i'll M uncomfortable
position.
