DREIss HILL.
Rain and Mud Prevented Rushing Social
Week.


Week.
Social matters on the Hill were
quiet sure enough during the past
week, but it was due to the bad
weather, the streets and sidewalks
being almost impossible on foot,
thereby keeping everyone indoors.
1t would certainly have proven a
gay week had the weather been
fair, as it started out Monday
night at a very lively gait with a
social at Mrs. Murphy's residence,
6lS Montana street. There were
also several other social affairs
promised on the Hill as we'll as at
South Heights, but they were all
postponed.
The social Monday night at Mrs.
Murphy's was a delightful one, as
are all such affairs given by this
great friend OF the young folks.
AS usual, Miss Nellie Andrews had
charge Of the social part OF the pro-
gram, as Mrs. Murphy never enter
tains the young folks without Miss
Nellie's aid, and as hostess she al
ways makes it pleasant for every
one. The evening was spent play
ing games OF all kinds and having
a general good time. Mrs. Murphy
and "Wooden Head" John ar
ranged several charades which
were very good as well as amusing.
1t was near the midnight hour
when the guests departed, the time
having slipped by so swiftly dur
ing the evenings enjoyment.
Another meeting of young folks
will probably be held one night
next week at the same place with
view to forming a club, for the
purpose of giving socials during
the coming winter; also to arrange
to fit up the club quarters which
Mrs. Murphy has proffered.
Miss Theresa Logan celebrated
her birthday anniversary last
Tuesday.
The younger folks OF the hill met
at the residence OF Mrs. Keller,
623 Dakota street, last Monday az
ternoon and from there proceeded
to the home of Mrs. Abbey, on
Spruce street, whore they rendered
her a pound party. There were
about 35 Of the little ones present,
and as each made q one pound con-
tribution, quite nice little lot OF
provisions and dainties Of all kinds
were donated. The time was spent
in playing games, and all enjoyed
themselves extremely. The affair
was gotten up by Ocie Martin and
Barbara Keller. They have an
other surprise of this kind in store,
but for whom they will not yet
say.
The Hill is not to be outdone even
in politics. The Seventh Ward In
dependent Political club was
formed last Monday night at
Niklass' saloon, as was mentioned
in last Tuesdays LIGHT.
The revival which Rev. John
STREET. has been conducting at the
South Hackb berry street German
Methodist church has been quite
we'll attended by the German ele-
ment Of the hill, Notwithstanding
the nasty weather.
The weeds along the sidewalks
in this vicinity are a great null
sance. During the rainy weather,
the weeds catching the water as
they do, wet passers-by almost so
much as shower Of rain itself.
Thesa weads hava neyar baen cut
during the whole summer.
The weekly devotional meeting
OF the Pine Street Westminster
league was held in the church
Tuesday night, but the already
postponed business meeting was
again postponed on account Of such
small attendance, owing to the
bad weather.
The blackberry street Epworth
league was to have held its also
postponed business meeting Fri
day night in Rev. Smiths school
house, but only a devotional meet
ing was held, only a few mem bers
being present, not enough to form
a quorum. The president was also
absent, which necessitated the
postponement of the business
meeting until next Friday. 1t will
be held in the school house, owing
to the German revival being con-
Quoted in the church.
