Sixth Annual Ball a Brilliant
and Successful Event.
TWOHUNDRED ATTEND
"Run Extra Regardless of Pre-
viOus Engagements.'
Interesting Items of a General
and Local Nature.

The sixth grand ball given by juno
ton Lodge No. 342, brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, was held last even
ing at Grentner's hall in Junction City.
Kansas. The ball was a brilliant sue
cess in every particular, and was one
of the most pleasant social events of
the season in Junction City.
The invitations which were sent out,
bidding the railroad men and their
friends to the ball. were unique and
quite original and appropriate for the
occasion. They were gotten up in a
very neat style, and were initiative of
a trainman's ORDERS but so a adapted as
to fit the exigencies of the grand ball.
They read as follows:
Yourself and lady will run extra, re-
gardlesS of all previous engagements
and invitations to Grentner's hall,
Wednesday evening, January 81, 1900,
where you will hold main track in the
grand ball given by Junction Lodge
No. 342
You will work as a double head ex-
ira from . a. m, January 81, until a.
m, February 1, between the Grand
March and Home, Sweet Home, and
will protect yourselves against all
trains. After a. m. you will run extra
to your lady's residence and return
light to your home. B. r. T.
Conductor must have a copy of this
order"
The evening was an ideal one for a
ball. It was just cold enough to tempt
the guests to wish to go to the ball,
and their knowledge of the good times
had on previous occasions of this kind,
and the royal good time which was as
sured by reason of the ball being given
by the trainmen of Lodge No. 342, more
than proved a powerful factor in in
huencing them to make up their minds
to be sure and be present.
The hall procuredGor the occasion was
the largest in Junction City. The floor
was as smooth as glass, and was shin
ing under a new application of wax.

OVATION TO BRYAN.
The Greatest He Has Secured 6ince
Entering New England

Portland, Me, Feb. 1.-Col. William ].
Bryan was the guest of the Democratic
club last night at a banquet in the city
hall. Mr. Bryan, with Congressman
Lentz, Of Ohio, and Ex-Governor Alt
geld, of Illinois, left Boston early in
the morning, each speaking at a mass
meeting at the city hail in Lawrence at
noon. Mr.. Bryan appeared on the rear
platform of the car at Haverhill, for q
short speech to about 1000 persons and
also shook hands with most of those in
his immediate vicinity, receiving q
bouquet in exchange.
At Dover, n. H, where a large crowd
had gathered, there was a little hand
shaking. Portland was reached at
o'clock, the party being taken to the
Hotel Falmouth. After a short rest
Mr.. Bryan was rendered a reception in
the council chamber of the city hall.
Following this was the banquet In the
larger hall above.
The speaking began at o'clock, and
as there was another big meeting at the
auditorium the three chief speakers
were taken in turn from one meeting
to the other. Ex-Governor AItgeld was
the first speaker at the city hall.
Mr.. Bryan, the next speaker, was
given an ovation surprising any which
he has received at any previous time
in New England. He said that when
he came into the eastern states he came
among Democrats who are such without
hope of reward or fear of punishment.
He spoke of his visit to Bath in 1896 and
said he learned to love his colleague on
the ticket for his sterling qualities and
manly nature.
1.-The eastern Democrats in 1896" said
Mr.. Bryan, did not have a large share
in making that platform. but they will
have large share in making the next
platform, which will be just like the
last. I am glad that the time is past
when either gold Democrat or a silver
Democrat can lead astray any large
number of people. If any of our silver
Democrats was to leave today he would
take with him just one person, that is
ALL"
Mr.. Bryan divided the remainder of
his address into three parts and dis
cussed in turn money, trusts and i'm
perialism, in the same manner as he has
at recent meetings.
Congressman Lentz, the last speaker,
devoted his attention almost entirely
to the Philippine question.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

Tim Murphy's play, THE Carpetbag-
ger" in which he will be seen at the
Crawford theater tonight, is a romantic
political comedy, dealing with certain
phases of the reconstruction period,
shortly after the civil war. 1t is neither
a military play nor a satire on politics.
but a southern romance, in which all
the political and sentimental character
istics of life in the far south are
mingled with the stirring dramatic in
cidents of those most intensely exciting
days, when the victorious north first at
tempted to set up a form of military
government for the vanquiShed south.
Mr.. Murphy portrays the northern gov
ernor of a southern state, man whom
the fortunes of war and the eXigencieS
of politics have made, temporarily, the
ruler of an enemy's country, an abso-
lutte monarch in republic.
Otis Skinner and his company will be
seen in Henry Arthur Jones' comedy,
The Liars" at the Grand Opera House

doings of upper tendon" with that
tender love interest to be found in all
grades. of society, while, at the same
time being a keenly brilliant satire on
the foibIes of fashionable folk. The
story is said to be very pretty one,
and Mr.. Jones literature to be as clear
cut, Virile and epigrammatic as the
most enthusiastic lover of the best in
the world of letters could wish. Mr..
Skinner is at the head of his own COM
pany with Miss Nanette Comstoek as
