Machinists' Ball,

One of the most delightful
social events of the season was
the Machinists' Ball given

The following committees had

mittee, II. K. Demon, r. G.
Rainey, j. ]. Murphy, ]. G. Dole;
Reception committee, A. Hunt,
b. Rosenbaum, j. c. Mahoney,
Jas. Clancy. The hall was very
artistically decorated in pink

of the cheese cloth. Promptly
at 9 o'clock the grand march
began, led by }. j. Murphy and
Miss Matte Vaudeville. Twelve
numbers were danced, after
which the dancers adjourned
to the Douglas Cafe where
supper was served. After a
thirty minutes intermission
dancing was resumed until a
programme of twenty-eight
dances was completed. The
music, which was furnished by
the Missouri Valley orchestra,
was very exceptionally good.
At an early hour the dancers
dispersed, after declaring this
one the most enjoyable dancing

THANKSGIVING Meeting.

The Thanksgiving service at
the M. %. Church last evening
was largely attended, and the
program as published, was fully
carried out. On the stand the
Church Choir presided and rem
dered appropriate music. Six
preachers occupied the platform
and took part in the proceed
ings.
Rev. Fulkrod, of the Baptist
church, had chage of the NEE
ting, and the services w e r e
opened by a song by the choir.
Prayer by Rev. Williams, of the
M. E. Church.
Proclamations of Pesident
Roosevelt, and Gov. Cummins,

Song, by the Choir.
The singing was a pleasant
feature of t h e meeting; the
Proclamations were good, and
read in a clear, distinct voice,
so as to be heard by all.
Song, by the Choir.
The sermon was earnest and
appropriate to the occasion, but
we are unable to say whether
the collections was equal to the
occasion. Take it all in all, it
was a meeting of Thanksgiving,
religious in tone, elevating in
character, and worthy of all
who participated in making it
an occasion of great satisfac-
ton and pleasure to the people.

6naxa Defeats hiissoi;:i Valley

The noble defeat Of the Mis-
souri, Valley team, which aver
ages $50 pounds, by the Onawa
team, which averages between
$50 and 40. was witnessed by
a fairly large crowd at the foot
ball park in Onawa Thanksgiv-
ing day. The Onawa team
should be proud of this victory,
but when they put it in the
daily papersof the country they
must surely have forgotten to
put the averages of the 2 teams
in also. A past-season game
should be matched between the
Onawa team and a Missouri
Valley team Of their own size,
and then the result of the game
would be put IN the papers-by
the Onawa team at least: Even
the spectators felt ashamed of
their own team, the manager
who matched the game not even
coming out tosee the game, and
as the team was represented as
averaging 1870 pounds they had
a right to feel ashamed. AS
has been said before, if the On
ava team is not afraid to play a
team of its own size they should
match a game with the Mis-
souri, Valley first team. =.

0Sl ArL.s

The M. Valley foot ball
team finished it's season yester-
day by everlastingly whaling
the Boyles Commercial COL
!ege team before the best crowd
that has witnessed game this
season. The day was perfect,
the air being snappy enough to
give the players plenty of GIN
ger, yet not cool enough to in
convenience the spectators.
The cro-vl was a dandy, one
that would do your heart good.
Excited dads, anxious mothers,
admiring sweethearts, pretty
girls and old maids, young men
and old men joined the kids in
the cheering and rooted in good
old foot ball fashion.
The foot ball spirit was in the
air and everybody tlngled from
lit. Those who didn't under
stand the game made life a
bnrden for those who did, but
1.-THE excitement ran high at all
times as the game was replete
with spectacular work. The
game itself was a fitting climax
to the glorious season the VAL
ley lads have just finished.
Without single point being
made against them and with
one tie game, they certainly
have room for pride. Yester-
days game was won through
straight, hard foot ball foot
ball as it should be played. No
aukes, no weight advantages,
the Valley team won out
through superior speed, endur-
ance, strength and team work.
The individual honors we re
evenly distributed, but the
work of Ebaugh, Ladue, Coul-
|thard, Earnsdorf and Fensler
was of an exceptionally fine
grade, both offensive and de-
fensive, Ladue and Ebaugh
breaking through time after
thine to hurl the Boyles runners
back for heavy losses. The
Boyles lads played a gritty
game but were unable to carry
the ball to any extent. Their
work was fierce and desperate
at all times but they seemed to
be completely lost as to the
right methods of penetrating
the Valley interference. Their
team work was ragged, although
the Valley linemen were re-
sponsible for much of that, as
|
they were charging hard at all
times, thereby making it ex-
tremely difficult for the Boyles
men to form good interference.
The work of both teams was
(clean throughout, not one in
stance of dirty or rough play
coming to the notice of the
officials, and while some of the
men were slightly injured, their
injuries were due entirely to
the fierceness of the Valley, not
to dirty work.
The Valley team did some
magnificent work this season
and it is to be regretted they
were so poorly appreciated.
However, it is part of the foot
hall players stock in trade to
take anything that comes his
way without complaint, SC we
will rest content with the hon
ors we have earned.
