A Nights Entertainment.

Back in the shimmering mists
of antiquity there is recorded
many pleasant social gatherings,
which have occurred in Missouri
Valley, but the dancing party
given in McTwiggan's hall in this
city last night by Climax Lodge,
254, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, surpasses anything of
similar nature ever attempted
here.
For the past month the different
committees upon whom the sue
cess of the affair devolved have
been diligently at work complet-
ing in every detail all arrange
ments for the successful entertain
ment of the lodges guests, and
last nights affair showed conclu-
sively the measure in which they
we're successful. The hall had
been most tastefully decorated
with the lodge emblems-the pick
and shovel entwined with nation
al colors; bunting and flags adorn-
ed the walls and ceiling, while red
white and blue lanterns suspend
ed from the ceiling mingled their
soft rays with those of four engine
headlights, one located in each
of the four corners of the dancing
floor and diffusing their cheering
glow over the dancers. About
seventy-tive couples participated
in the dancing which continued
until the young hours of the
morning. As entertainers the
members Of Climax Lodge, 254,
are an unqualified success.

Fire Alarm.

The city authorities have wisely
arranged for the organization Of q
system of Fire Alarm Telegraph
throughout the city which will
greatly facilitate the work Of the
Fire company in case of a fire
Our city has been remarkably
fortunate in the matters of fire, as
but few have occurred for years,
and as the provision for fighting
fire has been ample, the only
drawback, being the knowledge of
the place Of the fire, but with the
alarm system established, it will
be almost impossible to loose
much by fire.

Coasting Accident.

AS the sequel of an almost ir-
resistable force coming in contact
with an equally immovable object,
Ray, the son of f. w. Hart, Jr., is
under the care of a physician.
The heavy sleet which fell
Thursday night transformed
the sidewalks into coasting par
adise for youthful America and
his sled. About six o'clock yes
terday evening Ray was coasting
down Eighth street, starting near
the top of the hill and coasting
across Erie street on the sidewalk.
During the day the boys had been
warned Of the danger of colliding
with the teams which we're con-
stantly crossing Erie street, but
not needing this warming the boys
continued their sport. As Ray
seated on his sled started to cross
the street milk wagon passed
slowly over the crossing direct
ly in the path of the sled. Young
Hart did not see the team and the
driver did not see him until too
late. The sled struck the rear
wheel of the wagon hurling the
youthful occupant against the iron
tire of the wheel with terrific
force. When picked up the young
man was bleeding profusely from
an ugly cash in the forehead
above the left eye. DR.. G. W.
McGavren attended the case and
after making an examination to
ascertain the extent of the in.
juries he found that besides the
cut in the forehead the left arm
had been slightly fractured but
not broken. DR.. McGavren ap-
prehends no serious results from
the accident.

An entertainment which from
point of merit should have been
greeted with much larger house
was that given in the Methodist
church by Raymond G.. Hancock,
dramatic reader and impersonator,
Saturday night. There was a per-
feet harmony between the enter
tainer and audience, and the selec-
tions made by Mr.. Hancock reveal
ed particularly sympathetic
quality of voice, we'll adapted to
each Of his selections.

Notwithstanding the accident
which rendered the electric lights
in their hall useless, the Rebekahs
of this city, held very enjoyable
and interesting meeting Saturday
evening. The sturdy oaks" of
the lodge secured the use of three
large Rochester lamps and several
smaller ones 30 that the hall was
nicely lighted. About fifty mem
bers were present and after the
business of the meeting was fin
ished they had the pleasure of
listning to very nice program
consisting of vocal, instrumental
music and the reading of several
interesting papers, after which
the evening was spent in social
chat until 1870. This order is
rapidly growing in numbers and
hardly a meeting passes but some
one rides the goat.

Born,
Saturday to Mr.. and Mrs. S
A. Barnett, a boy.

Missouri Valley theatre goers
were treated to a change, from the
conventional form of entertain
ment Saturday night, and as
Joshua Billings would say, "They
kinder liked it," The Kinetoscope
entertainment by the Harris Com
pany, was decidedly the most in
teresting novelty, for novelty it
was, to majority of the audience,
ever appearing in this city. The
pictures were plain and distinct
and the new audiphone elected
favorable melton from all who
heard its reproductions.

Warrant For an Actor.

On Friday afternoon shortly
after dinner, Miss Jessica Web
ster Pond swore to an informa-
tion in Justice Steiner's court,
charging T. r. Beatty with assault
and battery and the warrant was
placed in Constable Rogers
hands to make the arrest. Miss
Pond is IN actress in the Hamler
company playing a week engage
ment in this city and Beatty and
his wife are members of the COM
pany. Both were members of
the Ole Oleson company when it
was here short while ago and
they joined the Hamler company
when it was created from the
wreck OF the Ole Oleson company.
There has been bad blood be-
tween them for some time and on
Friday, Miss Pond overheard
Beatty saying scandalous things
about her to Landlord Smith and
wife and she walked into the par
lor of the Windsor and charged
him with traducing her character
at the same time giving him
sharp slap across the face. Beatty
struck Miss Pond and knocked
her down. She sprang to her
feet in an instant and with fire
flashing from her eyes brought a
resounding whack across the ac-
tors face which scored her an
other knock down by Beatty. The
first scene had taken place so
quickly that the landlord had not
recovered from his surprise be-
fore the second blow was struck
sending Miss Pond to the floor,
but he at once prevented any
further difficulty between them.
Beatty and his wife left the ho-
tel and Miss Pond sought the
strong arm of the law to mete out
punishment to man who would
80 brutally attack woman. Beatty
is man who will weigh over 200
pounds. Miss Pond closed on
Wednesday, but on the solicita-
ton of Mr.. Hamler, had consent
ed to remain through the week.
Her home is at Missouri Valley,
where she was graduate of the
public schools and where she
afterwards taught in the schools.
Beatty was arrested by Constable
Rogers shortly after4 o'clock at
Mrs. Wheatley's, where he had
gone after leaving the Windsor.
He was taken before Steiner and
as there was not time to try the
case that evening the time was
set for Saturday morning.-Le-
