Masquerade Party.

A very enjoyable masquerade was given
Miss Estella Eldridge at the residence OF
her parents, near Mantua, on Saturday even
ing. About thirty-six young friends were
present and the evening passed all too
quickly for the jolly party, and it was with
evident regret that they listened to the
striking Of the midnight hour which plainly
told them that the merry games must
cease. The spacious lawn was beautifully
decorated with Japanese lanterns and as
the evening was mild, much of the time
was spent there, playing the games so deai
to the hearts of the young Refreshments
were served, after which the tired but happy
party departed, declaring that they had
never spent more pleasant evening.
Those present were:
Misses Esther Truncer, Mary Mullen, Amy
Haines, Susie Smith, Carrie Fink, Lizzie

Jimmie Beck talked well for his
salary in Green's Opera House last Satur-
day night, but to small audience-much
smaller than the house is capable of ac-
comnodating. He spent few minutes of
his time in declaring that there are no.
trusts, and the balance of his two hours to
abuse of William Jennings Bryan.
The Halloween fiends made Wood
burians miserable last night. Not content
with harmless fun, in which everybody is
willing to indulge them, they resorted to

replace big window, and Col. Green's
several lengths of fence-and there are
others.
An article appeared in some OF the

madea thorough search with lanterns, but
found no evidence of an accident and as
there have been no children missing, ii is
the general opinion that the boy drew very
largely from his imagination in giving the
alarm.
The once great James NJ Beck in his
speech IN Green's Opera House last Satur-
day night talked like man earning his
place, as he was. While George g.
Mercer, in his reply to Mr. Beck on the
same platform Monday night, talked like a
man imbued with the loftiest American
\ ideals, and a purpose to lead his country
men to a right decision of great problems
affecting the life of the Republic While
Beck bowlstered assertions with fine
SARCASM and abuse, Mr. Mercer quoted
from official records and official documents.
While Beck gloried in the rising star OF
Empire and the glories of the subiueation
of the Malay, Mr.. Mercer quoted McKin-
ley's criminal aggression proclamation

of any i'll feeling between the two teams
