THE MASQUERADE A BIG sue
CESS.


lated on the success of their masquer-
ade, which opened the social season OF
1899 with "Hurrshn. Tho mysterious
looking parcels, over which many sly
wink and knowing nod had been ex-
changed during the previous week, had
/ developed into costumes OF all grades OF
beauty and grotssqueness, from God
dess OF Liberty and flower girl to the
clowns, coons and the Osceola Hayseed
Band. There were 40 maskers on the
hosr, besides as many spectators.
Tho Grand March began shortly after
9 o'clock and was well In progress when
the Band arrived, armed with bass
drum, snare drum, two alto horns
and bass horn, also with sufficient av
ordupols to make a weighty impression.
They were marshaled by their Drum
Major in front OF the music stand and
proceeded to dispense fearful and won
derful music which was received by the
spectators with shouts of laughter and
stopped ears. As the dancers did not
seem to catch on to their ''clashing
strains" the Band resigned in favor OF
the orchestra. laid aside their instru-
meuts anl The dance went on. Masks
we're removed At II o'clock, aud at II,
j the merry-makers adjourned to Mrs.
Munro's dining where fine sup
per WAS served. Afterwards dancing
was resumed aud continued until five
o'clock Ia the morning. The orchestra
consisted of Messrs. Campbt Miles
and Morley, assisted by Miss Minnie
O'Hare, and Messrs. NJ. F. Boyle and
F J. Jewell. The music was good and
everybody had a good time.

rain In White River valley for 80 long
that the ground is as dry as powder to
a depth of three feet. Luckily most OF
the irrigating streams on the ranches
are fed by never failing springs. The
range, hswe,er, will suffer badly II
the. storms do not come soon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Muir and son
Carl came in from Hamilton on last
Sundays stage and remained over
I'LL yesterday morning to take in the
New Years festivities and also to en-.
able Mr.. Muir to close up bis official
business with the county. They left
here on the stage for Wells, where
they will take the train for the East.
They expect to be gone at least three
months, visiting friends and relatives
in Michigan, New York, and Canada.
Commissioners Muir and Verzan and
District ATTORNEY Treeoe vacated their
offices last Monday In favor OF their
successors and returned to the ranks OF
just common mortals. These gentle
men, during their service of the county
which in the case OF Messrs. Muir and
Treoce has extended over several terms,
have proven themselves to be men OF
integrity, and have always discharged
the duties OF their offices to the very
best of their abilities. Their retirement
at the late election was not due to any
disspproval OF their official acts, but
rather to desire on the part of the
people OF the county to recognize some
of the new aspirants for political honors.

Turning a New Leaf.

Twelve months again have rolled
around.
The time has come, in brief,
chaps like me are duty bound
To turn another leaf.
So, meditating thus, find
'Tis needful that stop
And designate within my mind
What habits | shall drop.
| will not smoke. Won't |? Let's sec.
This surely's not the worst
OF all my faults. Accordingly
I'll take the Others first.
| couldn't stop 1t anyhow
I've failed to times galore.
Perhaps I'd better tackle now
A job not tried before.
| don t drink much-a special brew
A glass when with a friend.
| reck on I'm not called on to
So slight folly end.
And cards-oh, pshaw, never lose
have such luck, you know.
And therefore why should | refuse
To play hand or SO?
l win my bets--a habit
Would be chump to quit.
My slang would not annoy hy;
hardly swear bit.
What else--yes, what? Well you car
smile,
But | am free to say
| think OF nothing that's worth Will,
To drop on New Years Day.

this feast. The dinner in the afternoon
was a splendid one and reflected great
credit on those who undertook the af
fair. Ths evening passed pleasantly,
some telling oldtime New Years tales,
and Others enjoying sociable game o.
penny ante.
New Years day passed away quietly
both in and around Osceola and by way
OF a change no dance was held. Thit
is the first year in the annals of Osceols
that both Christmas and New Years
have passed away without something
in the way OF a dance to break the
monotony and cheer the hearts Of those
who are lovers of good music and dane
ing.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB ENTER
TAINMBNT.

The New Years festivities we're con.
tinued on Tuesday evening, when the
Cherry Creek Home Dramatic Club
gave their entertainment as previously
advertised. The program began with
a comedy entitled the Living Statue,
a comical piece with the following cast
OF characters: Farmer Jones, Gus Grim;
Mrs. Jones, Miss Kate Hewlett; their
daughter Rose, Mrs. ]. Callaghan;
Skinner, the Confidence Man, j. How
ard: Charley, farm hand, and after
wards the Living Statue, j. Callaghan;
Jake, the niger, G. Stanley.
Farmer Jones discharges Charley for
making love to his daughter. Charley
falls in with an old acquaintance, Skin
ner, and together they plan 10 fleece
the old man by selling him an automatic
statue, which Charley impersonates.
Skinner exhibits the statue to the
Brown family who are delighted with
1t and the old man buys it for s.. 900.
Afterwards, when he comes back to
look at his purchase, he finds Jake pos
ing In its place. and the statue has run
away with his daughter. Mr.. Gala
CHAN did some good posing in the statue
scene and Stanley, as the clown of the
piece, made lots of fun. The other
characters we're also well sustained.
The comedy was followed by several
vocal and instrumental selections and
the program ended with short piece
in two acts entitled, 1.-THE Upper Ten
and Lower Five. The singing of
Messrs. Grim, Jewell and r. c. Weber
was heartily applauded and formed one
OF the most enjoyable parts of the pro-
gram. As an amateur performance
the show was distinct success and the
large audience that was present was
well satisfied
After the performance the floor was
cleared for dancing and few Jealous
votaries at the shrine of Terpsichore
kept up the dance till long past mid
night. The club left for home yester-
day afternoon.

Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York. May 1.-THE bulls had the
better of the speculative contest to-
day. but the edge was taken off the rise
i'll the last few minutes of trading by IL
vigorous bear raid. The continued pur-
chaScS for London account and the lack
of strain in either the money or Stcrl-
ing Exchange markets were features of
confidence. Moreover, it was an
nounced that the final $1,000. 900 war
rant in connection with the Spanish
indemnity, would he deposited on Mon
day in Il local bank, which announced
that all the needed exchange had been
secured. and this was favorably inter-
preted as to its probable effect on Sterl-
Ing Exchange. The known movements
OF money. although often misleading.
were thought to forecast favorable
bank statement, as there had been but
