The One Given Last
Evening a Great
Success.
At the Opera House Last Night
fuckers Company Pieasea the Audit
enee With Their Rendition OF
"The French spy--N0tes.

Judging from the large attendance at
the compliu entary dance at the Light
Guard Armory last night Hecla Lodge,
Independent Order OF Odd Fellows, has a
reputation far above the average as en-
tertainers, for the crowd was az large as
has been in the big Armory for many a
day, excepting, perhaps, the annual ball
given by the Trainmen last New Years
Eve.
The party had been talked OF for some
time and it seemed as il nearly every body
in town was in attendance. People who
had not danced for some time attended
and as a social gathering the affair was
a decided success. The crowd was rather
large for enjoyable dancing, but every
body was happy and a though there was
some difficulty in keeping the step and
tripping the light fantastic, unavoidable
accidents were passed over lightly ana
there was nothing TO mar the pleasure OF
the evenings dance.
A special train brought out quite a
number from Hancock, most OF whom
were brother Odd Fellows or their friends.
The program included some twenty-eis hit
or thirty dances which included six extras
that were danced carry In the evening
befor the larger part OF theerowd arrived.
Refreshments were served about mid
night in the Armory banquet hall.
The music for the occasion was furn-
ished ny karkeet's Ideal orchestra and
was very satisfactory in every respect,
many of the visitors complimenting our
people on having such first-class organ
ization. Jam.s Riney acted as prompter
TO the entire satisfaction of all concerned
The party did not come to an end until
early this morning when the orchestra
played "Home, Sweet Home" and the
visitors from out of town took their de-
parture, one and all voting the members
OF Hecla Lodge royal entertainers. To
the members of the committee having the
dance in charge and others who willingly
assisted them in the arrangements be-
longs the credit for the success OF the
affair and it il no small matter to enter
tain successfully such large number as
was in attendance last evening"
