The M. E. church people gave ghost
social at the church last Saturday even
ing and it was very we'll attended. The
interesting feature Of the evening was
the buying OF ghost by the men. All
the young ladies came into the room
with sheet thrown over their heads,
which made recognition impossible, and
each gentleman bought ghost. This
entitled him to be her escort during the
rest of the evening.
The dance given last Saturday even.
ing by the Indian Social club was not
very largely attended owing to the in
clemency Of the weather. Nevertheless
all those present had very enjoyable
time as the crowd was just large enough
to make dancing comfortable.

dence Tuesday evening and all those

w. E. c. Little, great sachem Of the
Red Men, who was to have been here on
an official visit to the local tribe tonight
has been postponed his visit until some
time next month as he was to have in
stituted lodge in one Of the cities in
the western part OF the state last even
ing, thus making it impossible to make
train connections. The local lodge had
every thing in readiness and will have a
big banquet anyhow and entertain the
Nevada tribe.
The masquerade dance given by the
Grand Fraternity at Firemen's hall
Tuesday evening was we'll attended and
a most enjoyable time was had by every
one. Dancing was commenced about
nine o'clock and no one was allowed to
dance unless they had mask on. At
eleven o'clock or little after masks
were taken of many surprises were in
store for dancers and spectators alike.
There were many pretty. grotesque
and unique costumes present. Supper
was served in Scandia hall by the lodge.
Dancing was resumed after supper and
kept up almost until daylight. During
the evening Miss Rose Philipps furnish
ed the music which was good and fully
appreciated by everyone. In fact the
dance was success in every way.
The cold wave which struck this por-
tion OF the country last Saturday was
said by the old residents to have been
the coldest for the last twenty years.
1t must have been cold as young man
from Central City was coming down to
this city. urged on by cupid, to take a
fair young damsel to the dance and froze
his left ear. There are many conjectures
as to the nature OF how the ear became
exposed. Some say that it happened
while swinging on the fence gate, trying
to shield her from the wind, yet others
say that he slipped on the ice as he
turned to 60 and the kiss struck him ON
the ear instead Of where the fair one in
tended. Jimmie claims, however. that
it was while going down, but then the
wind was blowing 30 as to catch the
right ear first, probably that ear was
tougher.
