"NVTS TO CRACK"

. Mrs. !. M. w. Moore and Mrs. !. E. Lowry entertained between forty and fifty of the ladies of Prescott at ihe residence of the former on Fri lay afternoon.
 Tue afternoons entertainment par took somewhat of patriotic event in he decoration of the residence, as these consisted entirely of American flags. Large flags were draped in the rOOmS. while smaller ones were ar ristically arranged so as to give a pleasing and artistic effect. while small Ter ones still were presented to the
 upStS as souvenirs of the occasion.
 The invitations sent out contained
 he suggestive phrase Nuts to crack" These nuts consisted of a guessing contest The ladies were arranged in srOuiS of four at tables and each was
 hen given q slip of paper containing phrase or sentence detailing the movements of an imaginary Kate" the task being to reduce the phrase or sentence to a single word. ending with the syllable Cate" For instance: Kate roams the live-long summer
 day
 Through verdant meadows. making
 hay"
 simply meant that Kate was rusticat ing in the meadows. the answer be ing ''rusticate." As the occupants of each table completed their guessing, these slips. which were twenty-five in number, were passed to another table, and so on around until each one had been given a guess.
 The contest proved very interest ing one. There were two first prizes and when all had exercised their guessing faculties on the little slips of paper. and comparison of the correct gueSses were made, it was discovered that for one of these prizes Mrs. J. J. Fisher and Mrs. Beverly Cox were a tie. and in the cut it was won by Mrs. Cox. Mrs. w. W. Ross and Mrs. c. Q. Ellis tied for the other and it was won by the latter. The second prizes were won by Mrs. I. H. Collins and Mrs. II. D. Aitlen.
 Delicious fruit juice was served the guests during the progress of the game and at its conclusion ice cream and cake were served.

MODERNS STILL GROWING.

There was a good attendance at the first regular meeting of the MOdernS in their new quarters, the k. r. hall. last night. Fourteen new members were initiated and about dozen more accepted for membership. The new goat furnished no end of fun and some of the gentlemen initiated proved 10 be first class bronchO busters.
 After the regular work of the lodge was over a short program of music and games served to enliven the evening. while cool drinks and light refresh mentS gladdened the inner man." A few dances were also indulged ill. Some of the members of the lodge were a little nervous along this line. on account of the hall. fearing it was not safe since the buildings alongside have been removed, but it is claimed by those who own the building and are supposed to be thoroughly famil- far with the structure, that it is the safest building in the city and will stand any reasonable test without the slightest danger as it was put up in a first class manner and out of the best material Obtainable.
 The lodge decided to give a grand outdoor social some evening in July. the exact date not having been decided upon as yet.

Two Decisions Against the PurchaS-
 CTS of This Class of Tickets.
 Two important decisions have just been made by the courts on the rights ,f holders of railroad tickets and of
 inc railroads. The question as to whether q railroad company has the right tO ccnfiscate mileage ticket if presented for passage hy anybody but he original purchaser has been de

 O rent out mileage books at an ad ,ance on the price which he paid the 'ailr0ads for them. conductor of the Maine Central railroad took up one of
 hose books which was presented by laSSenger who purchased it from the plaintiff. and he brought suit to re- cover the amount he originally paid for the mileage book. The supreme court denied his right to recover. hold ing that the conditions on which the mileage book was issued were not contrary to law or public policy. and that. having violated the conditions. the law affords the plaintiff no relief.
 The supreme court of Kansas has just rendered q decision adverse to Thomas Dangerfield. who started two years ago from Kansas City to Ire land He bought a scalper's ticket to Kansas City and the Topeka cOnduc tor hOnored the ticket. but the one east of Kansas City took it up and de- manded that Dangerfield pay his fare The passenger refused and was put Dfr the train. He sued the cOmrany for $1O.O00 damages. The district court of Osage threw the case out on q demurrer and Dangerfield appealed to the supreme court. In affirming the decision of the lower court the su- preme court held that Dangerfield. not being the original purchaser nor having complied with the conditions plainly printed upon the ticket, was not entitled to ride upon the same; that the conditions of the contract were not waived and the railroad con-
