Pleasant PART.

! Last evening occurred tEe
soci Il event of the season at Il, &
home of Mr.. and Mrs. nj.
O'Connor on Third street. An
informal party was given by
Miss Bessie O'Connor, in honor
Eof her cousin, Miss Nellie Ma
honey of Chadron, Neb. At
$50 p. m. the jolly company of
thirty-sevcn young people
gathered in response TO the in
vltatlon Of theit. young hostess.
There We're forty invitations
issued, but on account of the
threatening inclemency of the
weather three were unable to
attend. The lawn was beauti-
fully decorated with colored
! lights, while the front of the
house and hall was a maze of
foliage. The guests were all
received by Miss Bessie O'Con-
nor and her most admirable
cousin. At 8 o'clock each lady
was given a number and each
gentleman a corresponding one.
The novel plan of entertain
ment was Cor each man to find
the lady with the same number
he held. Each couple was al
lowed five minutes to visit.
When the bell sounded each
fellow was required to search
for the girl with the next high
er number, etc, until every
body had enjoyed a conversa-
ton with each other. A note
was then taken by the boys as
to which lady was the best en-
tertainer. When the ballots
were counted the majority was
accredited to Miss Mildred
Lomblen, who received a hand
some silver spoon as a token Of
her ability to execute the habit
peculiar to her sex, talking,
which by the way, is no dis
credit to Miss Lomblen, as she
lis an admirable conversant.
After the prize was awarded,
the entire company was, by
Mrs. M. O'Connor, summoned
to the dining room, where the
artistically decorated banquet
board groaned under a bounte-
GUS repast. When all had sat-
lsfied the inner man to the full
est, partners were chosen by all
the men except the unfortunate
writer, and the entire party adj
journed to Fountains Hall,
where dance was INDUCED
until IL o'clock, after which all
resumed their homeward path
with a happy goodnight, leav-
ing with an assurance to their
indulgent hostess and her most
admirable cousin, in whose
honor the affair was conducted,
that a good time in general had
been enjoyed. ~

mitted to the City Hospital.
Campbell is 81 years old and mar
ried. His condition is critical.
Hayes was 40 years old and unmar-
ried. Both were old and trusted en-
ployes of the coal company and lived
near the mines in Puritan.
Armed Men on Scene.
News of the tragedy spread like
wildfire through Portage, and in a
quarter of an hour hundreds of people
were streaming over the roads to-
ward the scene of the murder, armed
with guns and revolvers. The search
ing parties had little to work on, as
there are said to have been not even
foot marks to show where the men
had stood while waiting for their vic
Tins.
About o'clock Policeman Jones of
Portage arrested on suspicion a man
who was seen attempting to board a
freight train eastbound through town
The fellow, who is said to be an Eng
lishman, was carrying a gun at the
time of his capture, and made such
muddled answers to questions put to
him by the officers that it was thought
for time he must be one of the high
waymen. Later developments show
there is but little evidence against him
AS far as could be learned, he is a
harmless tramp.
Seven Italians in Custody.
Seven Italians were taken into Gus
tody at Wilmore on suspicion, early
this afternoon. Two of them had been
seen about o'clock running through
the fields from the direction of Portage
toward the settlement of foreigners al
Wilmore.
The officers were notified and the
two were located at 2:30 o'clock in an
Italian boarding house. A search of
the premises revealed articles evident
ly stolen from the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. and this convinced the
officers that they had landed two
thieves, if not the perpetrators of the
Portage murder.
Evidence Against the Suspects.
Questioning brought out the fact that
at least seven of the men had been out
of work, having gone overland to Will
more after being discharged by the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Conemaugh
On this information. the officers ar
rested five more of the Italians, MAX
ing a total of seven.
Another search of the house dis
closed a lavender SLOUGH hat such as
Paymaster Campbell is said to have
worn this morning. This is the strong
est bit Of evidence against the sus-
MEETS.

CHANGES IN THE MAP.
Few Countries in Europe Maintain
Original Boundaries.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The events of the past hundred years
or so have wrought many important
changes in the map of Europe and
have resulted in the righting of some
wrongs and perhaps in the perpetra-
ton of others whose full effects are
not yet felt The history of the centu-
ries before It, history of struggles, a
story Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the clashing
of conflicting interests, is always wor-
thy of study.
Take the map of 100 years ago and
the map of to-day, put them side by
side, and one is struck by the small
number of countries that have escaped
change. Great Britain, Spain, Swift
zerland and Norway remain colored as
they were 100 years ago; all else have
assumed a different outline or a diff
ferent color. Some states have disap-
peared, others amalgamated, and some
have sprung up that were hardly
dreamed of before. Right in the CEN
ter Of the map, where was the con-
federation of the Rhine and Prussia
and Silesia in a different tint TO the
north, all covered yellow, is now a null
tiplicity Of tints. We have a purple
tinted German Empire, a sea-green
Austria Hungary. The pink hue Of
France in the earlier map spreads
northward over Belgium and the Meth
erlands and southeastward over Italy.
On the other hand, the yellow tint over
Russia has overspread the Duchy Of
Warsaw. figured in deep orange a CEN
fury ago, and Turkey, which. seemed
lettering to her fall when last century
was young, though still existing. IS
much attenuated. for In the northeast
corner there are the separate states
Of Servia, Roumania and Bulgaria.
These kaleidoscope changes have
each it's individual story-a story that
has It's romance and Its pathos-and
we trace them back, most OF them, to
the French revolution, which was re-
sponslble for more changes in the map
Of Europe than any other event OF
modern times. Before this occurrence
Poland had been absorbed by Russia,

It Is a startling fact that not more
than one man in ten is absolutely free
from some sexual irregularity. There
are many causes for this condition.
but it Is not by any means always due
to indiscretions or excuses. 1t is true
that many men are in weak and
hroken-dow condition on account of
early folly, or excuses in later life, but
just as many men are afflicted from
other causes. In my experience OF
twenty years, devoted largely to the
treatment of diseases of this nature,
] have noticed that hundreds of cases
are due to worry. anxiety, overwork,
mental strains. etc, so that any man,
through no direct fault, is liable to
become afflicted.
It is A grave mistake, therefore, to
underestimate the seriousness of your
condition because you have not IN
duged in the practices which are
enormously believed to be the sole
cause of loss of manly strength. The
symptoms are plain and cannot be
mistaken. Spots before the eyes, ex-
treme nervousness, tashfulness, weak
back, dizziness, pimples, loss of am
hilton. etc. etc. are sure signs that
your vitality is being sapped. and un-
less properly and skillfully treated
YOU will sooner or later be a physical
and mental wreck.
Question of Judgment.
Next to the importance of realizing
your true condition comes the ques-
ton of the proper treatment and IN
no other matter should sound judg-
ment and discretion be more carefully
exercised. There are many pitfalls set

so-cailed sporting instincts and by the
acute ounriing that he brings TO the
game.
