A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
The E1ks Entertain in Grand Style
Splendid Decorations, Captivating
Music and Many Guests.

1t was the opinion of rybody
who had the good fortune to be pres
ent, that the Elks' reception and ball.
held Thursday night in Turner Opera
house. was the event par excellence
in the social history of the city at
least SO far as recent years are con-
cerned. Watertown lodge, No. 666,
B. P. o, F.. has certainly every rea-
son to feel proud of its initial effort.
Never before has a more brilliant and
bewitchlng affair taken place here,
and the fact that it brought together
in congenial intercourse SO many of
Watertown's good people is a condi-
ton that makes US hope for more
events of the sort in the near future.
To the committee Of arrangements
DR.. F. c. Werner, Charles Mulber-
ger, Oscar Wertheimer. DR.. A. F. Sol
liday and John w. Scnempf-much
credit is due for the successful o1t-
come and for the taste and elegance
of the appointments. The scheme OF
the decorations was elaborate and pro-
duced a most pleasing effect. The
colors of the order-purple and white
were given predominance in every
detail In the prosceniun of the stage
was arranged a large arch showing
the letters e'B. P. 0. E." illuminated
with electrical effects. This cast a
most brilliant aspect upon the entire
scene of beauty and spleudor. Other
arches trim med in the chosen colors
were erected across the hall, while
the spaces between the pillars sup
porting the balcony were also arched.
From these smaller arches hung flower
pots containing trailing vines, while
over the dancing space in every di-
rection depended japanese lanterns.
TIE stage was fixed up as retiring
place for the guests, the front of it be-
ing heavily banked with palms.
For an hour preceding the grand
march, which took place at $50, the re-
ception committee. composed of Lieu
tenant Governor and Mrs. Jesse Stone,
General and Mrs Albert Solliday, Mr..
and Mrs @. H. Stanchfeld, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Manz. Mr.. and Mrs. w. D..
/ ODfOSSS6f. MI. duu D. w. w OUO,
aud Mr.. c.. III. jacob, was busy greet
ing the guests, and as the march was
merged into a two step the scene par
took of unusual activity and remained
so until an early morning hour.
The music furnished By Hambitzer' s
orchestra. of Milwaukee, was of the
best and made the hearts of the dane
ers glad. The musicians occupied a
platform on the north side of the
| hall. Paul Thorn was prompter. The
| floor was in charge of w. F. Brandt,
Max Gaebler. John Chapman, A.Roy
Vaughan, L. H. Cordes, Julius Wig
gennorn. A. j. Hilgendorf and Edward
L. Schempf.
Near midnight luncheon was served
in the lower hall by Milwaukee
caterer. The refreshment tables were
lighted by candles shaded with pur-
pie. Lilacs formed the floral decora-
| tions.
Throughout the evening punch and
| lemonade were at the guests disposal.
At the former bowl the Misses Elsa

A NEWSPAPER THIEF

Was Caught Yesterday Morning and
VIII BE Prosecuted to the Full
Extent of HI Law.
About seven o'clock yesterday morn
ing. one of the maids at The Severn,
on Main street, discovered a boy in
the act OF stealing a copy OF the Sun
day Register. She held him until she
learned his name and residence, both
of which hars been communicated to
this Office. The boy had a bundle OF
papers under his arm, which he had
evidently gathered in a similar man
ner.
The Register will prosecute the boy
to the full extent of the law, with a
view of making an example of his
case, that may deter other boys from
following in his footsteps. The reward
OF $40 offered by the Register for ap-
prehension and conviction OF these
pests will be paid to the maid, and it
will be continued in the hope that sub
scribers will continue to cooperate
with the publishers in putting an end
to this constant annoyance.
Subscribers are requested to notify
the Register business Office of all
thefts of papers. The Register will
assist in the prosecution of the
thieves.

King. Dramatic Company.


Great successes in the repertoire field
are few and far between, and in fact,
the recognized attractions OF this class
car be counted on the fingers Of a sin
gle hand. Among the foremost of
n that has gained the greatest tri-
umphs, is the King Dramatic Company,
which is now in it's fourth year of re-
markable success. The engagement Of
this company at the Grand Opera House
this week means a series Of produc-
tons al 10, 20 and 30 cents which are
said to equal the original renditions.
The claim is of greater weight than ap-
pears on the surface, when it is taken
into consideration that among the bills
for the coming week are such plays as
Hands Across the Sea-" Faust"

Cumberland '61," Victorian Cross"
and Held by the Enemy" Hands
Across the Sea- with it's many and

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Having
repeatedly failed to secure remedial
legislation from Congress to prevent
abuses of the privilege OF second-class
mail matter, the Postoffice Department
officials ave under consideration the
question of adoption of a proposed rule
by authority of the Postmaster General
TO bring about the desired reforms
With this object in view, Mr.. Edwin
C. Madden, Third Assistant Postmaster
General, has addressed a long circular
letter to about 400 publishers OF news
papers and periodicals, setting forth
the objects sought to be accomplished
by the proposed rule and asking the
following questions:
"In the judgment OF those addressed
will a departmental rule be regarded
as injurious to legitimate newspapers
and periodicals which will stop abso-
lutely all premium inducements, direct
or indirect and Of whatever character,
for subscriptions? In other words
after a publisher has fixed q price on
his publication any bonus or premium
given to the subscriber, OR any COM
bination with another thing except a
second class publication, shall vitiate
that subscription in it's relation to the
second class rates of postage
Mr.. Madden adds:
1T is believed that such a rule as
that proposed will be OF great direct
benefit to legitimate journalism, and
that in a very large measure 1T Will
check this draft upon the public treas
ury for private advantage, with no
e~ompensating public benefit, through
the elimination of an immense number
of publications which are wholly sus-
tanned in their second class status by
patronage induced by some extraneous
thing in conflict with the spirit of the
law. Such a consummation has much
of promise in the direction of better
postal facilities and cheaper rates for
other classes of mail matter"
The circular asserts that the loss OF
revenue to the government from the
abuses of the privileges Of second class
matter. is enormous, being estimated
~conservatiyely to be between $4,000
900 and $25, 900, 900. a year. Existing
regulations, however, faithfully admin
istered are inadequate to accomplish
material reform and the most prolific
means by which the law is circumvent-
ed remains undisturbed by regulation.
OF the many means by which publica-
lions not properly entitled to this ia
vored postage rate spring into exist
ence and thrive no other, it is assert
ed by Mr.. Madden, is so fruitful and SO
insiduous as the permission-not of law
or rule, but of uninterrupted practice
that subscriptions may be obtained by
offers of premiums of merchandise,
chances to draw prizes in guessing con
tests, and countless ingenious schemes
of kindred character and effect. Cir
culations running into the thousands,
and into the millions; the circular says,
have been built up by this premium
process for publications. which, upon
actual merit, could command no pub
lie patronage whatever. Such Sub
scriptions" except in an occasional in
