Old oIks Party,

One of the most highly successful So
cial events of the winter was the "old
folks" ball held at Concordia Opera
house Friday evening last. It was a
subscription party, arranged by nun
Der of members of the "Concordia"
ladies' section, and none but those who
have entered the realms of welded
bliss and a select few of their friends
were invited to participate in the
pleasures OF the evening. To make it
distinctly different from a young peo-
ple's dance, the affair was not an alter
nate waltz-twostep arrangement, but
the program contained goodly repre-
sentation of the old-time quadrilles,
reels, ETC., bringing back the fond
recollections of other days when peo-
pie were not tormented with new-fan-
gled notions. Hardege's orchestra fur
nished the music and an excellent
supper was partaken of at midnight.
Every body present had thoroughly
good time and the festivities were not
concluded until an early morning hour
in fact, the old folks danced long If
ter those of younger generations would
have succumbed to that tired feeling"

CONYEYEKS EOILED.

It Is apparently decided, for good and all, that robbery of a sinking fund is not to be called financering in this city So far so good. It is astonishing that ward greed" or whatevef it is, has made such headway as it has, and it is encouraging that it has received such check. Strict adherence to the old fashioned and plain principles of econ omy and sound financiering is all that will pull the city out of the slough into which it has fallen. It will take time and patience as well as skill to do the great work, and while it is being done we can find profit if not pleasure in re- membering that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. As we have al ready eaten it we must wait now until we can afford to get another.

ertheless such is the fact, Minneapolis, which is called the banner town of the United States for growth, had 129,O0O people in 1885, 1S2,000 in 1895 and claims 21O,OOO in 1897. Magdeburg, Germany, surpassed that record. In 1885 she had 97,O0O, in 1895 225, 900, and in 1897 claims 24S,0OO Dusseldorf had 115,000 popula- ton in 1885 and 176, 900 in 1895 by the of- ficial census. Chemnitz had 95,000 in 1885 and 161,O0O in 1895. Altona had 91,- 900 in 1885 and 14S0OO in 1885, Frank fort jumped from 136,OOO in 1885 to 229 900 in 1895. The growth of these cities is by no means exceptional. There is prevailing an impression that Leipsic is sleepy, old university town, staid, conservative and steeped in the slum- Der of the middle ages, whereas 1t has increased in population from 127,00O in 1875 to 399,OO0 in 1895, and probably to more than 420,000 during the last two years. St. Louis has grown from 350,- 900 to 472000 during the same time; Cleveland from 100000 to 261 ,O0O, Buff falo from 155,O00 to 255OOO, Pittsburg from 166OOO to 2SS, ,OOO Cologne has in- creased from IA, 900 in 1885 to 321, ,OOO in 1895. Breslau from 272,OOO to 373,OOO Munich from 193,OOO to 4O7O0O, while Hamburg has grown faster than Boston or Baltimore or any city of its size in the United States Tn 1875 Hamburg had S4S,0O0 inhabitants, Baltimore 332,- 900 and Boston 342,000. In 1890 by the official census Hamburg had 569,000, Baltimore 4S4,0O0, and Boston 44s,00O In 1897 the official population of Ham burg is 626,000, while Boston claims 520,000. Baltimore claims 600,000.

GOOD FORTUNE CAME TOO LATE

A Klondike Miner Returns to Find His
 Wife Breathing Her Last.
 One of the saddest stories born of events connected with the Klondike gold discoveries is that of John Alber- son of Nortonville, twelve miles west of this city. MT. Albertson was a car penter. In the fall of 1894 the family, consisting of husband, wife and two children, died of scarlet fever in quick succession. Work became scarce in his neighborhood, and after providing as we'll as possible for the comfort of his wife, Mir. Alberson started west in search of employment. He finally reached Seattle in 1895 and from there drifted to the Klondike regions. He wrote to his wife apprising her of his contemplated Alaskan journey. He told her that it would possibly be a long time before she would hear from him again, but bade her be of good cheer and as he was in good health, hopeful, and confident, predicted a hap py reunion would eventually follow their long enforced separation
 During the time Mr Alberson was at Klondike he had but one opportunity to write to his wife. The letter, which told of his good health, notwithstand- ing many hardships and privations, and of the fact that he was doing we'll and would have a. competency by the spring of 1S97 when he would return home, was intrusted to a returning miner. The miner met with many obstacles on his homeward journey and was delayed at many places, so that the letter was not mailed until May of the present year. It was a message of glad tidings and of great joy to the lonely wife. During the husbands long absence she had a severe struggle and finally sick ened. Had it not been for kind neigh bors she would have become a public charge.
 John Alberson was among the first of the returning miners to reach San Francisco. There he speedily convert ed his gold dust and nuggets, about twelve thousand dollars, into bank drafts and greenbacks, and purchased ticket for the first east-bound train. Just before he started on his homeward trip he telegraphed his wife of his safe arrival at San Francisco, of his good health and good fortune, and that in a few days they would be reunited. At several stations he telegraphed her of

yet no other fashion makes use so well of a short length of expensive goods. It does not take very much to make use of one of these coats, and somehow a bit of beautiful brocade so used gives though skirt and front of coat may be an air of elegance to an entire costume, of comparatively inexpensive stuff. So, if you are feeling little doubtful about being able this winter to get the new best dress" why not accomplish 1t by turning last years opera cloak, or the velvet of disused matinee or even the uninjured breadths of a worn sat in skirt into a Louis Quinze coat?
 Wear this with skirt from more in- expensive wool materials and with a front made pretty by lace or ribbon
 Such a dress must be most carefully complete in detail or it will betray it. self as an expedient, and an American girl would almost rather die than thus betray herself.
 An inspection of the more elaborate model gowns shows many beautiful eff fects produced by foreign makers in their use of odds and ends. Keep in mind the harmony of general effect, while letting details be distinctive, and your gown will have the touch of the foreign model, and should produce quite as satisfactory an effect as if the coat were not made out of the old ope- "a cloak. The Louis Quinze coat is equally applicable to the dressy cos- tune and the simpler one. If you must
 purchase now a gown for wear well into the winter no design will be more wisely chosen than the Louis Quinze coat of heavy silk, the rest of the cos
 tune to be carried out in cloth.

 John Alberson reached the Norton Vile depot just at the close of day. Without casting glance at those upon the platform and without being recog- nized in the twilight by any one, he hurried down the street to his home. He was met at the door by neighbor woman, who pointed to a bed within a room. There lay his wife, pale and wan and already within the shadow of death. Their eyes met in mutual rec- ognition for a moment. There was one brief embrace, and when John Albert son once more lifted his head and looked upon the face of his wife she was dead,-Kansas City Times.

At sanctification meeting in a church at Dixon, Kentucky, the other night, the preacher ordered young man who came in with a young lady to take a seat in another part of the church from that where his escort was seated. This the young man promptly refused to do and the preacher came down from his place on the platform and moved the young man by force, the custom being for the men and the wo- men to occupy different parts of the church at these meetings. This excuse did not go in court next day, however, as the muscular preacher had to pay $20 before magistrate for disturbing religious meeting.
