Tuesday to resumeihisiicolie work
at Ames. Each guestawas provided
with fagot of wood asshe entered
and when all had ..arrivedl the lights
were turned out and theEcompany
gathered in circle around the open
fire place. Each in turn laid his fagot
upon the flames and. as.long as the
stick burned it was his duty to enter
tain the company with music, games
or stories. Among the entertainments
most highly appreciated were the
mandolin solo by Alfred McCampbell
and the duet by Ray Lyman and Miss
Edith Smith. Mr.. Lyman also gave
a short test of his mind reading pow
ers which proved entirely successful
and very amusing. When the last
fagots had burned out, cards were
distributed, those Of the gentlemen
bearing quotations and those of the
ladies the names OF the authors. After
the excitement Of finding partners
had somewhat subsidized refreshments
were served, after which various
games were INDUCED In until late
hour. When the party finally broke
up 1t was with many regrets that the
pleasant evening was over and all
voted to meet again In the near fu-

COWS DITCH TRAIN.
Rock Island Has an Accident
Near Olivet.

Olivet, Iowa, Feb. s.-A freight
train on the Rock Island ran over
and killed two cows here about 500
O'Clock last night The engine struck
them fair in the middle of the track,
and the bodies of the cows raised the
engine off the track. By chance,
however, the engine and two cars
came down on the rails again but the
next five cars were thrown into the
ditch. The accident delayed traffic
for about six hours. Luckily no one
was hurt, and the damage, aside from
the freight in the cars will not be
great.
