LeaVenwOrth Society Young
Men Shut Out Officers
From the Fort.

Leavenworth, Dec. 11-An is not har-
monious in the social organization of the
dancing 100 of Leavenworth known as the
Cotillion club. The club was recently or
ganized for this seasons dances with DR..
Russell Phillips as president and David
Staiger as secretary. One of the rules
adopted by the younger members of the
club was the exclusion of the officers
from Fort Leavenworth, on the ground
that the town girls cut dances with the
town boys for the men at the post.
And then again many of the town men
did not take kindly to the reorganized
CotiIlion club alleging that the younger
set had control of it. Consequently it is
said that less than thirteen members are
so far enrolled.
Yesterday a new club was being organ
lied, to be called the Semi Monthly
Dancing club. or some similar name, for
a series of subscription dances to be
given during the winter.
Edward McGonigle, John Viewer and w
W. Trimmer are managing the new club
and the lists are now nearly filled.

within the range of possibility that a

W. s. Stratton will submit a PROPOSE
tion to a gentleman for the erection Of
a building so by 40 feet opposite the
Elk hotel on Pixies Peak avenue. The
building will be four stories high, and
that part of it which will be used by
the government viii be built according
to the requirements of the pCstOffice.
The location Of the proposed building
is central and should Mr.. Stratton sub
NIT the proposition and the same be ac-
cepted, Colorado Springs viii have one
