The K. OF P. BALL.
A True Valentine Party.

Waisworth has always borne the rep
utation OF giving successful entertain
ments, ever on short notice, but the
ball on st. Valentines eve, under the
auspices OF Pyramid Lodge No, ~,
Knights OF Pythias, eclipsed many Of its
predecessors.
1t was a genuine st. Valentine party,
every traditional item in connection
with that time honored patron saint
being scrupulously observed.
The hall was t~astefully decorated with
evergreens, flags, mirrors, oil paintings,
and some war implements oil tho Order.
The Uniform Rank and the Rathbone
Sisters attended in II body. The Sir
Knights resplendent in their gorgeous
uniforms lent decided color and variety
10 the scene.
At the right, close to the entrance,
stood "a postotice, beautiful in design,
the handiwork of G. -. Norman. 1t
was complete in every detail, such as
letter boxes. letter drop and general de-
livery window, with u Cupid to cap off
he builiing. Arthur Macpherson was
the 20. TIM ,ster. The valentines were
Ia charge OF Mira. T.. d. Short and Mrs,
i. d. Finley and were sold at cost price,
The properly addressed envelopes
were then deposited in the postoiiice.
The prize winners, for receiving the
most valentines, were Miss Maude Gil
and Arthur Macpherson. The prizes
were beautiful valentines.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock The grand march
was led by Mr.. aud Mrs. Geo. A. Mae
plleraon, and at least sixty couples par
ticipated.
The floor was managed with admira.

TIE OFFER IS ACCEPTED

The railroad boys have it that the Elko
Board OF Trade las offered the Southern
Pacific Company a bonus Of some thons-
ands OF dollars, to make Elko u snbdi-
vision OF the Salt Lake division, aud that
the offer has been accepted. 1t is put
up that in event OF the change, the pas
senger engineers on the west end oil tie
division will run from Wadsworth TO
Elko and return, and the east II men
from Ogden to Elko and return, with the
cut-out ut Terrace as at present Pas-
senper conductors will run from Wads-
worth to Ogden as they do now, but will
lay-oyer at Elko instead OF Carlln as at
present. The freight train divisions
will be Wadsworth to Winnemurca, VIM
nemucca to Elko, Elko to Terrace, Ter
race to Ogden. From Carlin to Elko is
iast half way between Wadsworth n
Ogden. Ii the additional % miles is put
on, another passenger engine will prob
ably be put on, making the seven en-
cines and seven engine crews, which the
engineers have requested repeatedly, no
chain -ganging to be done. With seven
engines in the passenger service, the
probability is strong that Winnemucca
will he II 'cut-out" or lay-over place.
The change will help Winnemucca by
reason OF more men, passenger engine
crews and freight engine and train crews
laying over there. 1t will be a great
help and source OF income for Elko for
the same reasons. 1t will wipe Carlin
out of existence as . railroad town. We
know enough OF the situation to know a
seventh engine and crew are boons long
sought, but hitherto vainly.
We noted by the Elko Independent,
that Superintendent Agler and Master
Mechanic Luckett stopped off there with
the special car on their way east last
trip. We deiuce that they stopped to
observe, and having observed, passed
on rejoicing.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Important Matter Discussed in Yesterdays
Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of this
society was held at their rooms in City
building yesterday afternoon. In the ab-
sence Of the president, Mr.. J. J. Gerrish,
Rev. Mr.. Phelan presided at the meeting,
which was unusually largely attended.
The subject under discussion was the
work of the probation officer.
Extracts from an address by the secre-
tary of the Massachusetts Prison Associa.
tion were read. He said in parp: "All
persons who commit crime are not crimi-
nails. A great advantage.of the probation
law, aside fom the watch care which is
given, it this, that it provides-and this
ls the only state l know of that has pro-
vided is for an intelligent, discriminating
consideration of every oase There is no
such thing as criminal class there; are
GLASSES of criminals, but every person in
every class is an individual. Until pro-
bation began, people were treated as q
mass One great advantage Of probation
is that the officer ascertains whatever
facts there might be that palliate the
of the case, instead of the police side
only. 1t also gives the court what it
never had before-a knowledge of previ-
GUS sentences, which warrant and make
possible the imposition Of long sentences
upon hundreds and thousands of persons,
who, under the old undiscriminating
system, were allowed to go through the
mill, as it had been called, with a mere
fine"
The discussion which followed was in
teresting and showed the existing need
of such an officer in this city. 1t was
thought that suoh IN officer could not at
present be maintained, however, owing
to the considerable expense.
Mr.. Pennell strongly emphasized the
need of such one, as did many others.
The ourfew law was discussed at con-
siderable length by Mrs. Margaret W. T..
Merrill and others, that all children un-
der 15 years of age shall not be in the
struets after o'clock in the evening il
the winter and 8 O'Clock in the summer
unless attended by a respectable reliable
escort. If this law is violated. serious
penalty is given to the parents or guar
dians of such children.
This law has been passed in ten cities
in other states. The need of such law
is SO obvious in our own city that meas
ures were at once taken to have one es-
tablished

Lost Paradise.
One of the strongest attractions to ap-
pear at the Portland Theatre this season
will be 1.-THE Lost Paardise,' which will
be seen tonight, tomorrow and matinee.
This play is we'll known as one of the
prettiest comedy dramas ever seen on the
stage, and its drawing powers are as
STRONG today as when the piece was first
seen in New York, where it ran for near
ly 300 nights. 1t deals indirectly ith
the labor question, and so appeals partic-
ularly to the laboring GLASSES, but it is as
much of society drama as anything
else. It's characters are true to life
and tells several pretty love stories The
Lost Paradise has often been voted the
strongest of American plays, and it is
one that has always been appreciated in
these days of cheap melodramatio perfor-
mances. The dialogue is brilliant, the
situations and the climaxes are exciting,
and the many comedy scenes full of genu
inc humor. The Company will present.
the piece here as large and evenly bal
anoed one, with Mr.. James Horne in the
character of Reuben Warner, superi n
tendent of the Knowlton Iron Works.
The company carries its own scenery,
making the interior Of the foundry both
striking and realistic. The attraction is
deserving of liberal patronage.
