There is no greater compliment to Mr..
/ Huffman than TO say that he played the
| accompaniment in such manner as TO
heighten the effect of the solo.
| A very pretty number was the Rose
Waltz Of Penschal" as rendered by Misses
/ Gallagher, Hossfeld, Murdoch, Hossfeld,
Evans and Mrs. George Howe. The young
/ ladies showed careful training and sang
with delightful harmony. precision and
expression. Mrs. Higginson who was one
of the accompanies of the concert, played
the accompaniment for this number and
the beautiful harmony Of the piano blend
ing with the fine voices Of the young
ladies was truly fine Mrs. Higginson is
one Of Wichita's finest musicians and
It is but stating the truth that Mrs. Hig-
ginson is not only one of the finest &C
companists in Wichita, but one of the
real artists and thorough musicians Of
the state OF Kansas.
Another musica prodigy is little Hazel

with good style and taste. She is a won
der and her efforts pleased the audi
ence immensely.
Mr.. George Westgate's tenor solo. a
selection from Martha was one Of the
best things on the program. Mr.. West
gate possesses a sweet and soulful tenor
voice that appeals 10 an audience and
the selection that he sang asst night was
sung IN an artistic manner that deserved
the tremendous applause accorded him.
The concert closed with a patriotic cho-
rus by all who took part in the concert.
Mr.. Walden as soloist sang the patriotic
song composed for the occasion by Mrs.
Walden, the chorus singing the Star Span
gled Banner in a rousing manner. The
presentation Of the flag to the militia
boys who did some good drilling under
Captain Koeneke was inspiring and the
grand tableau Of Cuba pleading 70 Amer
ica, with Mrs. Walden &C Columbia and
title Miss Sidney Clapp as Cuba, was a
fitting close to one Of the best entertain
ments ever given in Wichita
Great praise is due Mrs. Walden for
her abors in securing the wonderful sue
cess that the concert proved to be and the
audience testified their appreciation OF her
splendid work by two magnificent floral
offerings to her. More than one-haR Of
the program was performed by Mrs. Wal
den's pupils. While all show splendid
talent training and culture none give
more promise than Mr.. Fritz Huffman.
In the scene of Joe Emmett, especially
arranged for the concert by Mrs. Wal
den, Mr. Huffman not alone showed his
lovely, pure tenor voice to advantage in
the meditation of his voice, but shows
ability as an actor which surprised his
friends.

night, means everything to some peo-
pie.
But a great many people were not
there. The capacity of the Masonic
Temple is limited, and the price of adj
mission was doubled. The result was
highly satisfactory to all. The floor
was not overcrowded, rendering it
necessary to segregate the Fort Smell
ing Military band, to accommodate the
dancers in the adjoining room, as was
the case last year-and st. Lukes hos
pital Jared just as we'll. Once two
makes as indisputable a two as twice
one.
1t was in every respect an ideal char
ity ball. There was room to dance,
room to promenade, room to indulge in
the felicitous tete-a-tete, that a de-
licious waltz provokes. 1t was select

word There was no ostentatious dis

Portable suspicion of the nouveau tiche,
that even charity balls sometimes do
not escape. There was nothing Of this.
Beautiful women, tastefully, becoming
ly. prettily attired, there were in
abundance. They have a way of at
tending the charity ball. Many-the
majority, of course-were in full even
ing dress, but not all. Those who did
not follow the conventional in this re-
spect were not conspicuous on that ac-
count Any one who suspects that this
charity ball was a starched and formal
affair because the gentlemen wore
,rbito lid cloves and dress suits TO be
sure, must cast aside his suspicious.
1t was as informal, unceremonious,
genial and agreeable a social function
as one could wish to behold, let alone
participate in.
Masonic hall, always an imposing
audience chamber, never looked so
picturesque, SO cheerful and so invit-
ing. Before the first couple caught the
inspiration of the opening waltz, and
glided out onto the white canvas mat
ting, the whole place seemed to solicit
the dance, even as the music that drew

Glory was draped above the dark
plush covered dais and settees at
the extreme end Of the room, forming
a radiant and most effective contrast
The boxes, eight in all, four on each
side of the hall overlooking the dancers,
were likewise tastefully decorated
When adorned by the presence of fair
women, while the floor below was peo-
pied with couples moving In rhythmic
response to the music, the scene ap-
pealed to the admiration of the pictur-
esque. The sense of pure enjoyment
prevailed the atmosphere and delighted
the eye.

POINTERS FOR TAXPAYERS.
How Real Estate Taxes May Now
Re Paid.


The county treasurer's Office was the scene
of much activity yesterday, owing to the
large number of persons who desired to
avail themselves OF the privilege of paying
realty taxes for 1896. On Monday those VINO
have not settled viii be required to pay
an additional penalty which is added. The
county treasurers Office will not be open today
for the payment of taxes, and those who ne
elected the opportunity yesterday will have
to pay the penalty.
The new law providing for the payment
of taxes on real estate in two installments
goes into effect Monday. The new law only
applies to the taxes for 1897 and future years,
which are due and payable on and after the
first Monday in January. 1898.
Real estate taxes may be paid in two
equal installments.
Payment of the first one-half made be
made on or before May 81.
"A penalty of 10 per cent on the whole
tax is added June l. provided the first one
half is not paid on or before May 81.
Payment on the second one-half may be
made on before Oct. 81.
"A penalty of TO per cent is added Nov. !,
II the second one-half is not paid before
Oct. 81, and said tax will become delinquent
on the first Monday of January next, when
an additional penalty of per cent is added:
Take sales take place the first Monday of
May following, and the amount of sales draws
interest at the rate of l per cent month
until redeemed. If not redeemed within
three years from date of SALE ali lands be-
come the absoute property OF the state or
purchaser"
That is to say, If you go to the treasurer's
Office to pay your taxes for 1897, you only
have to pay one-half the tax assessed, but
you can pay it all If you want to- If you do
not pay that half the tax before June l. you
cannot pay the whole without having 10 per
cent penalty upt upon the whole amount, al
though the second half is only just due on
that day. If you have paid your first half on
or before May 81, then you have until Oct. 81
to pay the second This makes taxes much
easier to pay than formerly, and deeds can
be filed and records made without payment Of
q whole year of tax
