That Leap Year Party.

Are the old scores settled? \ goodly
number of the sterner sex of the twin
cities got full measure Of enjoyment at
Pomainville's Hall Friday evening,
while the girls ''cashed in" their dollars
at the ticket window, bought suppers
andTed lemonade, and ''squarld'' costs
with the hackman. The leap year
party was nice event. About forty
five ladies were successful in hustling
"fellows" and they gave them lessons
in dance etiquette and gallantry "a III
derniere mode" They arranged the
program, chose partners and managed
the floor, but none were brave enough
to take the rostrum as prompter. 1t
must be said to their credit that very
few of the boys were made wall adorn-
ments; prima facie evidence that, real
izing the position, amende Honorable
had been made before the party or else
our gentlemen have been careful to
scatter favors equallyin the past. Any
way, those who had ''the say were not
manifestiy enthusiastic in any spirit to
''get even" The ladies severallv acted
in a very gentlemanly manner and their
partners did not attempt to cross The
floor without escort except when they
forgot themselves. Verify, leap year is
not without pleasant results.
The reception committee was as fol-
Mamie Ward, Marguerite Nash. AS
floor managers Misses Nash and Ward
modestly bore the honors.

Fiftieth Anniversary.

council chamber Wednesday Jan. 18th
voted most emphatically in favor of
celebrating in 1898 the tiftieth anniver-

the union.
The scope of tie celebration will be
determined by Committee Of One
Hundred and One, to be appointed
before March /, by Gen. Lucius Fair
child of Madison, the chairman Of the
conference, and five delegates whom
he will select to assist him. Gen. Fair
child is himself to be a member of the
committee, and his 100 associates are
to be selected by congressional districts,
each district to be entitled to ten mem
bers.
There was great deal Of talk before
this decision was reached, and it is
generally looked upon as a satisfactory
solution Of the important problem of
how best to place on its feet the enter
prise which it is expected will be of
such great value to Wisconsin. The
general confidence imposed in Gen.
Fairchild creates Il belief that is
universal among the delegates that the
selections made by himself and his
associates for the Committee of One
Hundred and One will be he best that
can possibly be- made, and that the
general committee thus formed will
devise a plan that will be satisfactory to
the state and will result III complete
