The Way the Council Bluffs Society Lovers
Have Passed the Week.
Miss Maude Oliver entertained n party of
her friends Friday evening at her nome on
Park avenue. 1t had been announced that
there would be a circus, but the young ladies
were not prepared for quite such a literal
fultillment of the prophecy as they saw.
W. +. Sapp, attlred in n large pair of white
pantaloons and several other things, with a
long whip, played the part of the ring
master. Eldon Lougee and George H..
Mayne put themselves together in such a
way as to make an excellent elephant.
Wallace Shepard was the ossifed man, bnt
his appearance belled the placard,
which announced that he was
80 years old and weighed only thirty
seven and one-half pounds. Thomas Met
calf, jr., played the handorgan, While DR..
H. a. Woodbury. played the monkey. the
technique of each being excellent, although
there might have been a little more eXecu-
tion had the spectators had their own way
and an axe. Ned Shepard wore a beautiful
necklace of snakes, A. w. Casady repre-
sented the dude that had come to see the
circus and Perry Badollet shone resplendant
as the bareback rider in a costume that
split the difference between that of Il ballet
dancer and the pictures one might see on a
fashion plate in a Zulu modiste's front
window. Harvey Smith took the part of
the $1,000 beauty in u manner that was
alarmingly true to life. The affair was very
unique and there have been few parties
given recently that were more thoroughly
enjoyed by all present.
The concert given by the Dudley Buck
quartet last Thursday evening i'll the Con-
gregational church was one of the most en-
l. go, a. ,nt,rt,nl - Ia ,- tL-t
this city have been given n chance to attend
in a long time. The main part of the pro-
gram was furnished by the quartet, which,
although organized u few months, has
jumped into wonderful popularity. The
church was full. Every selection bv the
several were encored. Mrs. j, G. Wads-
worth sang several selections in n manner
that fully sustained the reputation she had
already obtained as a thoroughly artistic
soprano. Herr Albln Hustler, a v~iolinist of
great promise, made his first appearance be-
fore n Council Bluffs audience and showed
himself a master of the bow.
The concert to be given at Dohany's opera
house for the benefit of the Woman's Chris
tian Association hospital will be a rare
musical treat. The Albert Philharmonique
orchestra of Omaha, which consists of fifty
musicians and which created such an un-
usual enthusiasm at their last concert at
Boyd's %theater, will be assisted by Miss
Laura Weber, a miss of Is years, who plays
"A piano concerto by Mendelssohn win Or
