Cottonwood Lodge of Firemen
Give a Successful Ball.
Took Place In Wigwam at En-
pOria Thursday Night.
GREAT SOCIAL EVENT.
Railroad People From Many
Points We're In Attendance.
Unique Hall Beautifully Deco.
rated For the Occasion.

The third annual ball of Cottonwood
lodge No. 116. Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, was held Thursday night
at Emporia- The ball was the social
event of the season in Emporia railroad
circles and was the most successful
given by Cottonwood lodge.
The ball took place in the wigwam
of the EmpOria lodge Of Red Men, and a
more appropriate place could not have
been found. The wigwam is probably
the most unique meeting place of the
Red Men in the west. In addition to its
attractive features, decorations appro-
pirate to the fremen were placed in diff
ferent parts of the room.
The wigwam is attractively decorated
with relics and curios of ancient Indian
tribes. Intermingled with these are the
skins of sacred animals, stuffed and
nicely mounted, which the Indians be-
Iieved had a mysterious influence on
their future life.
To the front Of the room is a large
pair of antIers. looking out from the
center of which is perched a large
American eagle. Close beside is a stuff
ed beaver, pelican, owl and other birds,
while in the corner is a fox looking out
Of q clump of branches. Here and there
around the walls of the room are an
Client guns, bows and arrows. pipes of
peace, hatchets, arrow tips, and other
curios.
At appropriate places were the insig-
MIA Of the firemen. On either side of the
main door were red lanterns, while along
the sides Of the room were placed green

BL0TCHES ON THE SKIN
They Can Be Cured by a Very Simple
Process.

No matter what the condition may
be called-whether eczema, acne, PIN
pies. salt rheun, whether running sores,
carbuncles, boils or any other surface
indication of blood poison or scrofula-
their cure is simple process If only
half the patience spent in enduring the
disease will be applied to it's cure.
Eczema, for example. is a result not
a condition, in itself. It means that the
dead tissues turned to carbonic acid
are not eliminated by natural processes,
are diverted to the surface and by long
continued practice have sought the skin
as an outlet.
To treat such diseases locally is mere
ly to turn the tide in another direction.
The only real cure for all scrofulous
disease is to persistently give the blood
a purifying agency such as sulphur. and
such other cooling and clarifying essen
tials as bitartrate of potassia. etc.
These are combined in palatable form
in Hyde's Bi-Sulpho Tablets in which
the sulphur is so thoroughly disguised
that even children will take them read
lily.
Try this remedy for a few weeks and
you will be convinced that it is far
ahead of the secret patent medicines
you have so disappointingly relied upon.
S. Mcdonald, 217 West Fifth ST., Kan
sas City, Mo, writes:-'I have given
trial and am convinced that they are
a perfect blood cleanser from the fact
that my skin is now clear and entirely
free of all rash and other evidences
that bothered me for some time
These tablets are put up in boxes and
sold at the uniform price Of so cents a
box or they will be sent postpaid by the
Bi-Sulpho Co, Marshall, Mich. Send
for free book on blood and skin dis
eases and their cure.

The Marquis de Castellane has writ

The Marquis de Castellane has writ
ten to the Matin the following letter:
Your good faith has been abused.
My son, Count Boni. never INDUCED IN
any bourse speculations and conse-
quently can not have been proceeded
against. If he were in Paris ne him
self would dispose of this invention. In
his absence his father begs you to re-
pair the involuntary wrong you nave
done him.
Inquiries made at the best sources of
information, which, however. are not
willing to be quoted, are that Count de
Castellane was involved in speculation
in anticipation of rise in stocks on
account of the expected British victory
in the Transvaal and the British re-
verses caused such depreciation that
it was impossible for him to meet his
losses with ready money The specula-
tions are understood to have been
through private sources and therefore
it is difficult to secure absolute con-
firmation of the reports. The matter
will probably be settled privately
The Mathis assertions were the lead
ing topic of conversation at the clubs
and other social meeting places through
out the day. The evening papers repro
duced the story, although without in
any way guaranteeing accuracy. The
counts father gave fresh turn to the
affair by writing a letter to the editor
of Figaro Fernand Derodays, intimat-
ing that he must be prepared to fight
duel with the count on the latter's re-
turn, or even with the marquis himself.
In the course of the communication, af-
ter denouncing the statement Of the
Figaro as canaillerio, the marquis says:
IF my son were not on the sea for
New York he would undertake to dem
OnStrate for you the emptiness of this
tittle-tattle and would require from you
reparation on grounds he would choose
In his absence I take his place. Your
scandalouS insinuation is a mere po-
litical trick which others would describe
as Dreyfusard."
The Soir, which was previously own
ed by the CastellaneS and which is a
strong Nationalist organ, bitterly OPP
posed the Figaro which championed
Dreyfus after speaking in fulsome
terms of the counts character as a gen.
tleman and a patriot, says:
TT is not difficult to see the origin
and motives of NJ. Derodays Vancouver
| 1t is wished to injure him who drove
| Joseph Reinach from his seat in parlia-
ment This is a vile political vengeance
which all good men will denounce."

and white lights. In the balcony, shin
ing full across the large hall, was a To-
connective headlight, on either side of
which IN brass supports were two green
flags held out at full length, as if float
ing to the breeze on the front of an
engine.
In the center of the hall, hung from
the high ceiling, was draped bunting of
the national colors, while suspended in
the center, full in the glare of the head
light, was a large American flag. Here
various colOred flags used in railroad
ing. The room looked beautiful with
its decorations, and thoroughly in keep
ing with the occasion.
The executive committee composed of
Mr.. w. n. Breen, Mr.. F. 3. Mauck and
Mr.. A Buck, having in charge the ar
engagements, had planned all the details
of the ball to such a nicely, that moth
ing happened to mar the pleasures of
those who were so fortunate as to be
present and participate in the hospital
ity Of Cottonwood lodge.
All day the trains into Emporia
brought railroad men. their wives, sweet
hearts and friends from the surround
in the evening. Many of the ladies spent
the day either at the stores or visiting
friends about town. while the men went
to the railroad yards. and mingled with
their brother railroad men, while wait

Long before the hour for the opening

1T Is A CRIME.
Put andCall Trading So Declared by
Board of Trade President.

Chicago, Jan 19-Is put and "call''
trading a crime? President Warren OF
the board of trade in an interview said
it was "a violation of the statutes, and
that the policy of the new administers
ton was to put a stop to it, no mat
ter what the traders affected might
think, say, or do In the meantime
put and "call' men, many of whom
are said to be members of the board OF
trade, will meet at the Millers' Ex-
change each afternoon to settle for
privileges bought the day before and
again in the afternoon to put and call
grain in which privileges are held; in
the morning from to IL o'clock and In
the afternoon from $1:05 to 1870.
H. L. Foster who was chairman OF
the meeting at which this was de-
cided on, said:
THE put and CALI men are not fight
ing the board of directors. On the
contrary we have Withdrawn to %
Sherman street. so as not to conflict
with the new ruling. The put and call
men expect to continue clearing
through the board of trade clearing
house. That is one of the privileges OF
members
What will happen if President War
rem and the directors should cut off
from the regular clearing house priv
ileges ?"
1T will kill put and CALI trading in
this market
will an effort be made by privilege
traders to establish separate clearing
house?"
II don't believe so. The put and
CALI men are not organized. The meet
ing at which I was chairman was an
open meeting for accredited traders IN
terested in puts and calls. I know or
no plan to take the question into the
civil courts. We do not believe that
the board of directors will stop our
clearing house privileges"
President Warren said:
ct can't tell you what the board or
directors will do at its next meeting,
whether it will stop the clearing house
privileges of put and call men or
adopt some other measure, but you may
depend upon it the board viii stop that
form of trading within its Jurisdiction"
