 AN ENTERTAINMENT.
A Grand Reception Will Be Given in Aid of the Red Cross Society
 Next Week.

Preparations are, being made by the Native Daughters of the Golden West Red Cross Aid to give the Iowa troops reception similar to the one given Minnesota's representatives at the Mechanics Institute a week ago. It is intended to hold the affair in the Mechanics Pavilion on either Monday or Tuesday evening, the proceeds to be turned over to the Red Cross Society. AL ready committees are working energeti- cally with view of making the affair a greater success than the initial display. As before, the Pavilion will be tastefully decorated, distinguished soldiers and civil lans will be invited and everything done to bring a generous public there, so as to give the visitors Q royal welcome A splendid feast will be prepared by the ladies of the well-known society, and it Is thought that the light fantastic will be ripped in honor of the boys in blue. Soldiers will be admitted to the Pavilion at cheaper rate This will be done, as many hundred campmates wish to see their brothers in arms exhibit their drill- ing abilities before large gathering
