the chairs at the front end of the hall
and even on the stage there were a
number standing to take in the sights.
Costumes of every description from the

land" to the sportive clown and the yell
low kid. Among the ladies were the
costumes Of many nations. beautifully
dressed, and the giddy girls in short
skirts. Darktown was there, but IAN
coons looked alike to me- until they
took off their masks. The masking
lasted from $50 until after 10 o'clock.
After unmasking, the floor vas given
over for general dancing and a large
number Of spectators took part. On the
stage tables were set and supper was
served at all hours. The ladies Of the
Maennerchor society are famed for
their excellent suppers and the tables
were well patronized by those who
wished to enjoy some fine wiener
wurst and sauer kraut, a cup Of coffee
and German coffee cake. with many
other well prepared dishes, too numer-
GUS to enumerate but which will go
under the name of a Dutch lunch"
Prizes were given to the lady and
gentleman who had the most original
disguise, Miss Zoe Bennett, a grand
daughter Of Mrs. Pope, taking first
prize-a pair of elegant ladies' shoes.
Her costume was an Egyptian dancing
girl and was rich and well gotten up.
Lat" Gray of The Republican had a
clown suit and was painted up we'll. He
took the other first prize, a fine German
pipe, which was nearly as long as he
is tall.
The dancing lasted until far into the
night and the crowd remained until
the last dance was completed.

FIVE ToRREY PATRIOTS
Heroes of the Late War Will Be Laid
to Rest at Fort Russell.

When Colonel Torrey organized his
regiment he told his patriots that he
would either bring them back better
men, or would lay them to rest in an
honorable grave. Since the regiment
was mustered out, the government has
returned to their homes the bodies OF
those dead whose relatives could be
located and we're accessible. Some had
no relatives, but Colonel Torrey has
them still in mind and intends that they
shall be laid at rest together in the pic
turesque little cemetery Of Fort Rus
sell, where the remains OF Private Bod
fish of the Torrey regiment were inter
red several months ago.
There are five bodies which Colonel
Torrey will have exhumed and sent
here at once. Three are at Jackson
Vile. one at St. Louis and n at Tu-
pelo.
1t is Colonel Torrey's desire to have
the funeral of the five soldiers at one
time and arrangements to this end will
be made at once.-Cheyenne Sun-Lead-

ARREST OF CAPTAIN MENARDI
Facts in Connection With the Wyoming
Citizens Trouble.

Captain J. Blair Menardi of Sheridan,
Wyo., who was arrested at Los Angeles.
Cali, a few days ago, upon a charge of
forgery, say the Sun-Leader, is we'll
known in this state, having resided for
many years at Buffalo and Sheridan.
He is a civil engineer by profession.
When hostilities broke out with Spain
and Colonel Torrey came west to Or
ganize his regiment Of rough riders,
Menardi helped to recruit Company G.,
at Sheridan, and was elected captain of
the company while the regiment was
organizing at Fort Russell. When the
regiment was mustered out at Jackson
vile, Captain Menardi went to Los An
geles, Cali, where his family had been
during his absence with Torrey.
The facts at the bottom Of the arrest
are said to be: About two years age
Menardi was acting as fiscal agent OF
A. T. Bacon OF Denver in loaning money
in Sheridan county. Prior to the time
JldI Nltldlul udu Dteu DdtOu . dStul
the latter had loaned s $1,000 on a ranch
in Sheridan county. The ranch was
subsequently bought by the Morrison.
Brothers. They assumed the mortgage
and desiring to pay it off went to Sheri-
dan, and, supposing Menardi to be auth
orized to receive the money for Bacon,
paid 1t to him, taking his receipt. Me-
nardi did not notify Bacon OF the pay
ment. Bacon called On the Mortisons for
interest. They refused to pay him, al
leging payment to his agent. He sued
them in the United States court at
Cheyenne, alleging that Menardi had
only been authorized to loan, not to col
lect money, and recovered judgment Of
foreclosure against the ranch. To in
demnify the Mortisons, Menardi then
gave a note to them with Mr.. Edgar Of
Sheridan as surety. Mr.. Edgar having
to pay this no:c, has instigated the
present criminal proceedings. The sher-
if was in Cheyenne several days a week
ago, procuring the necessary extradi-
ton papers. Captain Menardi is about
40 years of age, and a very handsome
and cultured man.

WISE O r OF LINCOLN

Gold is good in its place; but living
patriotic men are better than gold"
God must like common people, or he
would not have made so many"
II am indeed very grateful to the
brave men who have been struggling
with the enemy in the field"
This country, with its institutions
belongs to the people who inhabit it
" General Grant is a copious worker
and fighter, but a very meager writer
and telegrapher.'
Let us have that faith that right
makes might, and in that faith let us
to the end, dare to do our duty as we
understand it."
The reasonable mar has lolg
agreed that intemperence is one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, Of all
evils among mankind"
THE purposes OF the Almighty are
perfect and must prevail, though we
erring mortals may fail to accurately
perceive them in advance"
"Of the people, when they rise in
mass in behalf OF the Union and the
liberties of thier country, truly may ii
be said: The gates of hell can not pre-
vail against them"
II appeal t o you again to constantly
bear in mind that with yen (the peo-
ple), and not with politicians, not with
Presidents, not with officer seekers,
but with you, is the question, shall the
Union, and shall the liberties of the
country be preserved to the latest gen
enation?'

OUR HOMECOMING VOLUNTEERS,

I'IFTY thousand dollars is the sum asked for by
! the committee Entrusted with the task OF pre-
pairing the reception for our Homecoming vol
uneers and there are fair it will be
duly forthcoming Many liberal subscriptions have
been already sent in and others have been promised
that can be counted on.
It is to be borne il. mind the reception is to be
something more than holiday OF parades and festi-
walls though these will be stately and impressive 1t
is the intention OF the committee to arrange for the
bows to resume work in their former places OF EN-
ploymen as far as that be done, and where it IS
impracticable to provide other but equally satsfac
torv positions for them. The volunteers in fact
to be welcomed home in the fullest sense OF the word
and are to find that welcome not only in the social
mt in the industrial circles where they known and
honored.
Every citizen should find pleasure and pride in con-
trbuting TO the fund needed for these purposes The
volunteers of California the first to enlist for the
war While in other States there was some delay and
no little wranging over the legal problems involved
in the transfer of whole regiments or men from the
National Guard to the United States Volunteer serv-
ice the Californians responded at and left it
the authorities to- settle the law problems later Thus
our bows have the honor OF being first to enlist and
are among the latest return home Such distinction
OF service entities them distinction of honor and
the welcome accorded them should be of character
to attract the attention OF the nation and attest the
pride Of California in her heroes.
The reception committee has at every step of its
work shown genuine appreciation of what is re-
CURED The members have been earnest, patriotic
and energetic in their labors They have not spared
themselves They have planned the welcome on broad
lines and set themselves resolutey to accomplish it.

THE DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS.

IN this day of rest from the absorbing pursuits
| ] of work, it will be we'll for the business men,
~ the taxpayers the intelligent workingmen, the
good citizens of San Francisco, to give heed to the
issues involved in the approaching municipal election
The primaries will take place on Tuesday In the
Democratic party there is faction hight between
Buckley on one side and Rainey and the Examiner
on the other so there is hopefor the Independents
voter in that quarter In the Republican primaries,
however there is an easy way for the taxpayers to
win triumph which will provide San Francisco with
a good administration.
The strategic point of the municipal contest is the
Republican convention. II that body be controlled
BY sterling citizens all will be we'll strong ceah
ticket will be nominated, and strong clean County
Committee appointed to conduct the canvass. Sue
cess at the polls on election day will be well nigh as
sured and every prospect OF the city will brighten
Good men free from pledges to the BOSSES can OBJ
tain control of the convention only by the support OF
good citizens at the primaries If the property owners
and the taxpayers stay away from the polling Dooths
On Tuesday the bosses and their gangs will have their
own vav Who. then will be to blame if the Repubi-
can convention fail to nominate ticket which the
best people support?
Every duty in lie carries with it reward for those
who are true to it and penalty for those who are
false If the taxpayers be true to their political duties
ttev will have their reward in municipal administra-
ton which will advance their welfare and Tighten their
taxes II they be false to those duties they will have
to paw the penalty by submission to bad government
and heavy taxes.
The issue cannot be evaded. The primaries Will
occur on Tuesday The bosses and the taXeaters nave
already marshaled their gangs and are ready TO hght
Tor the spos Shall the taxpayers fight for good gov
eminent or surrender without struggle? That is the
question every intelligent voter should ask himself
