remembered in a substantial way on
Christmas Day. A large and beauti-
full silver Aims bason was presented

use at the early communion.
The young ladies of the choir were

tended considering the stormy
weather. The music was specially
prepared, and the rector preached an
excellent sermon.

THE CHRISTMAS DANCE.
A Brilliant Social Event.

A Christmas dance was held at
the Exchange Hotel on Monday
evening, December goth. In COM
parison with the long line of similar
assemblies that have taken place
annually for many years past, it
stands very favoarbly About one
hundred people were present, and
among these were handsome
matrons and beautiful maidens, men
with silver locks, and the boys
from college. Many elaborate
gowns were worn, and diamonds
sparkled proiusely. The music
was furnished by Oppenheim of
Wilkesbarre, and consisted of eight
pieces. That of itself was as good
as concert. There were very few
who failed to dance nearly every
number. The inspiration of the
music was irresistible. All the ar
rangements at the hotel were ad-
mirably made by the proprietor, I.
A. Snyder and his assistants. The
refreshments, while not elaborate,
were according to order, and were
very nice, and we'll served.

incensed at the marked farors shown
Brandon by the Princess Mary. and
when the queen saw him with his arm
about her waist in the maxes Of the
lance she stopped the music, but the
festivities proceeded, AS the princess was
all powerful with the king. The queen
left the hall in rage but the king re-

SUNDAY is THE DAY
MONEY TO BE RAISED FOR NEW
M. E. CHURCH.
VIII be Built of Stone and Brick and
Will Have Seating Capacity
for $50 People.

Sunday next is the day that has been
set aside by Rev. W. e. Armfeld and.his
co-workers, for the purpose of receiving
the first subscriptions for the building
of a new Methodist church in Athena.
The people of the Methodist Episco-
pal church of this city have for some
time been laying plans and making ar
rangements to construct an edifice that
will be credit to themselves and to the
town, and the fact that next Sunday has
been chosen as the time when subscrip-
tons will be taken, foretells that their
efforts have been successful and that
obstacles have been surmounted where
by Athena is to have another new church
building, modern in design and equip
ment.
The proposed building is to be con-
structed of stone and brick. II will l-be
two stories in height, the basement or
ground story will be constructed of
stone, and will be used exclusively for
Sunday school and League service. The
upper story, which will be the main au-
ditoriums will be of brick. The struc-
ture will have seating capacity for $50
people, the estimated cost being between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Rev. Armfeld is enthusiastic in the
result Of his canvass SO far, and antici-
pates when the subscriptions are all in
Sunday, the greater portion of the
funds will have been raised. 1t is pn-
derstood that members of the church
are contributing literally toward the
fund, and with the progressive spirit of
the Athena public to assist him the pas
tor feels that his efforts are reasonably
sure to be rewarded with success.

DR.. H. w. Learn was fined $50 in the
circuit court, at Pendleton, Tuesday for
practicing dentistry without license.
His attorney, Will NJ. Peterson, made a
hard fight for him, pleading the in
justice and inconsistency of the present
dental law, and, also showing to the
court that DR.. Learn is good, moral
man, regular licensed dentist under
the law of Nebraska. The court was
very lenient in the case considering the
fact that this is the third time it has
been up for hearing. The Judge told
DR.. Learns attorney, Peterson, that il
the offense was repeated and the case
prosecuted again, the full penalty of the
law would be met.

DISASTROUS FIRE.

White House Saloon In Weston - Gut
ted and Greatly Damaged
Between one and two o'clock Sunday
morning an alarm of fire aroused the
sleeping citizens of Weston from their
beds and speedily plunged peaceful
town into confusion and uproar, reports
the Leader. Dancing flames had been
seen through the windows Of H. Hessel's
White House saloon, about a helf-hour
after the place had been closed for the
night, and the brazen throat OF the fire
bell soon gave clamorous warning.
Lack of system caused much delay in
getting water, but stream was finally
played on the flames, and the fire soon
succumbed to its inveterate enemy,
water. Before it could be subdued,
however, great damage had been
wrought to case goods and cigars in the
cellar and bar-room, and the building
had been practically gutted. The fire
originated in the cellar, where consider
able packing waste had accumulated,
and its cause is wholly unknown.

creek, on the east side of the building,
gave way beneath the weight of party

FranIa Morris, the Helix Safe Blower
Was Found Guilty.
Frank Morris, the Helix safe blower,
was sentenced to six years in the peni-
Isentiary. He made statement to the
court before sentence was passed, as
serting his Innocence and claiming his
ability to prove an alibi, if allowed more
time in which 70 prepare his Defense,
He also stated that he has been resi-
dent of Pendleton since 1879, and that
this is the first accusation that has ever
been lodged against him. The court re-
minded him that the evidence was plain
ly against him In this case, and that a
jury of his countrymen had found it
sufficiently strong to warrant a verdict
of ofguilty, within very short time after
the case was given into their hands.
Mr. Collier, the attorney for Morris,
asked for leniency in the sentence.
Ira Rose, who rode hired horse away
from Adams and forgot to return until
captured by Constable Lieuallen at
Thorn Hollow, several days after, has
been sentenced to serve IS months in
the penitentiary.
Wednesday the court heard the case
Of John Weidert against Umatilla county.
This is case in which Weidert seeks to
recover damages for $492, which he
claims he sustained by the construction
of county road No. SIG, through his
farm four miles north of Athena.
This road was granted by the county
court, upon petition, two years ago.
Weidert claimed the damage stated, but
the viewers Of damages, appointed by
the court, fixed the damage at $75,
which was paid to the county clerk for
Mr.. Weidert, who refused to accept it.
