A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
 The third annual entertainment, under
 the auspices of Parlor Rock council, No.
 6S, o. U. A. M., took place, last Friday, proving a grand success in spite of the very severe winter weather which pre-
 vailed. The council chamber was pack
 ed to it's full capacity by the members
 and their many friends. The first on the program was an overture by the orches- | tra, under the direction of Prof Weiden- 1 hammer, followed by Prof Hurd in his 1 feats of magic, marvel and mirth, assist ed by snow ball, the faithful, which completely mystfied his appreciative audience. After a selection from the orchestra, Miss Leola Blinn gave humorous recita tion entitled "Going to Church." which was loudly applauded. She responded to an encore with "How Old Asa Won the Bet" which was given with excellent effect and applauded to the echo. The next on the program was a violin solo by Philip Weidenhammer, which was rendered with excellent effect He was compelled to respond to an en- core and was followed by Charles Weid- enhammer, who gave flute solo in a very pleasing and effective manner. Miss Blinn then gave recitation entitled ''The stars and stripes," in a manner which fully testified to her ability as an elOcutionist. After another selection by the orchestra, the entertainment was brought to close by Prof Hurd in his bouquet of mysteries entitled "The closer you watch the less you sec," which proved conclusively his mastery of the magician's art. A b0untful colla- tion was served to all presented by the lady members of Victory Council, Nc 31, D. of L.. At the close the committees, Messrs Frank Hadley, F.M Kennedy and George Clark are entitled to great credit for the excellent arrangements. Parlor Rock council was organized October 1, 1891, with a membership of p and has now reached the number of 5, including in it's ranks many of the representative men of the town. During this time the Council has given many successful and pleasing entertainments. Victory cOun- cil, No.3l, D. of L., was organized De- cember 1, 1893, with ? names on the charter list and now numbers 37 with several applications for membership in the hands of the examining committee.
