THE ELKS ENTERTAIN
Annual Open Session Affords Pleas
ure to Big Crowd.

The OskaIoosa Elks entertained q
large company of gentlemen at their
hall, corner Second avenue and First
street, last evening at a social session,
and the occasion was much enjoyed
by those present.
The guests upon arrival were direct
ed upstairs to lay aside the wraps
and upon returning were taken IN
charge by che reception committee
and made to feel at home from the
beginning. The lodge oom a been
seated with camp chairs and the guest
soon found himself comfortably placed
in this room. Developments were
soon forthcoming. The Hawkeye or
chestra meantime had been busy upon
the stage that had been erected for
the occasion, d~iscoursing its most
tuneful harmonies. Exalted Ruler j.
C. Williams stepped forward at the APP
pointed time and announced the APP
pearance of Messrs. G. H. Hare, Har-
ny Hagan and Symon Walling, who for
a few moments would entertain in up
to-date minstrelsy. The gentlemen
were well received and were COMPEL
ed to respond to Moore Their en-
tertainment was brief, but it was rel
ished by all.
Then came the surprise Of the even
ing. Mr.. Williams announced a talk
from John Wesley Geiger, upon "Elks
and Their Doingsg" A few Of the
members knew that the gentleman was
in the city, but only a very few knew
that he was to address the company.
The speaker was in a most happy
mood and he proceeded to attack the
task allotted him in a mi that
left little of it at the finish. The adj
dress was one of the best things OF
the kind ever listened to in this city,
and not one of his hearers but who
would have had the gentleman con-
tinue. MI. Geiger has lost none OF
his fire and wit of the old day. He
did not tell of all of the doings of the
Elks, but he told of enough to satisfy
any auditor not possessed of "the
horns" that the Bills were a busy lot.
Following the address by Mr.: Geiger
Horace Colman entertained with a
clarionet solo. This WIS followed by
remarks by John c. Williams, Exalted
Ruler of Oskaloosa Lodge of Elks; and
the gentleman made a very pleasing
and pointed talk fitted to the occa-
sion. He was accorded -he closest at
tention of the house. He did not keep
the guests long, however, but turned
the hall and club rooms over to them,
and then followed such a session of
entertainment as each individual
cared to choose for himself. There
were cards, billiards, pool, cigars and
music. Elaborate refreshments pre-
pared by the Hens were spread be-
fore the visitor as he cared to partake.
The crowd was served in two rooms of
the hall and thus undue congestion
was avoided.
The entertainment, or Social" as
the Elks are pleased to cali the affair,
was a success from all points of view.
1t gave pleasure to all in att eDdance,
and everyone had a pleasant evening.
