The '6!rls" DANCING Party

Judging from appearar ces
this morning of all who parIici-
patel in the Girls" dancing
party last evening at Fountains
hall. it was indeed a success.
The hall was very beautifully
decorated, the color scheme of
red being carried out through
the decorations. Streamers of
red crepe paper hung from the
corners and sides of the hall
made a very attractive ceiling.
Red electric light globes were
used, which gave a beautiful,
soft, delicate light. Cozy
corners were made all around
the hall. Punch was served by
Master George Culavin in a
cozy booth made of Christmas
trees. At nine o'clock the
grand march began, led by Dell
Harris, Nell Heron, Guy Ma
honey and Rube Coulthard.
Dainty red programmes were
given out at the end of the
grand march by Miss Louise
Carlisle and Master Lawrence
Mckay. A programme of
twenty-six numbers was danced
to music furnished by Whaley's
orchestra of Council Bluffs.
At the close Of the evening or
rather at the beginning of the
morning, the tired but supreme
ly happy crowd adjourned to
the Douglas Cafe where supper
was served.

checking up the books of his
office for the six years of his
incumbency. To do thus
properly he must examine and
check in fifty-five books, as
the account is kept in each
case in the book it was entered
first. He h as paid out all
money coming into his hands,
by checks on the banks. He
has issued about 5000 CHECKS
in doing this or an average of
500 checks a year. "Ed" has
been a good official. We do not
believe there has been a better
clerk of the court in the state.
He has a good legal education,
a fine stenographer and type
writer, and a splendid back bone
all of which enabled him to
serve the public we'll. We

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The
Pennsylvania railroad .has
placed an order for 100000
tons of rails at S28, which
means that the shippers and
passengers will need to go down
in ther pockets to pay dividends
on an additional $612,OOO in
the price, occasioned by the
tariff. Canadian roads would
be able to buy the same amount
of American rails just that
much cheaper. Still there are
some people who wonder why
Canadian roads are able to 90
after the transcontinental bus
mess. Considering the diff
erence in the price Of construct
ing their bridges, roadbed,
steel cars and other items, they
should be able to make a mat
erial reduction from American
rates.

Colorado has discovered a new
way to carry elections. Adams,
the democratic candidate for
Governor, defeated Peabody,
the republican candidate, about
10000 majority, and now the
republican leaders propose to
throw out a sufficient number
of democratic votes to elect
Peabody and make the Legisla-
ture republican. That's an easy
way to carry an election. ?

EVdlScllSC TdulCONoT has
stirred up considerable indigna-
ton in Des Moines by stating
that modern ministers are
afraid to tell unpleasant truths
and that bread and butter con-
siderations prevent the promul-
cation Of truth. He is right to
a great extent. Charges are
held in these days in most
instances by fattery of the
prominent members Of the con-
gregation and the agitation of
unwelcome truth is interdicted.
Yet the modern evangelist goes
TO the other extreme and
renders his execrations against
evils positively nauseous. I'm
compromising warfare on un-
truth, viciousness, chine, hypoc-
risy, venality and kindred evils
is eminently the field of the
moral teacher, but this warfare
does not call for the utterances
of obscenity which character
ICES the speech of so many evan
CYCLISTS and which disgusts al
right-minded people. Let there
be a reformation in evangelism.

Consumption Can Be Conquered.

The universal interest in the Anti.
tuberculosis movement is shown in
every convention held TO consider this
work. The discussions are practical,
not theoretical. The audiences are
popular, not merely professional The
whole people are intereted.
In session just closed at Atlanta,
Georgia, many important and in crest
ing phases OF the prevention and cure
of consumption were considered. DR..
c. P Amber gave a concise review Of
the duty of the physician in charge.
to the patient and family. His paper
was enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League on
this subject.
His points were as follows: First.
tuberculosis is not the fatal disease
commonly believed.
Second-Whle communicate it can
be made practically harmless by the
proper cor-se on the part of the
patient.
Third-The chief cause OF the high
mortality is late diagnosis.
Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by Indifference of the patient TO early
symptoms and carelessness on the
, part of the physician consulted
Fifth-By thorough, systematic in
struction Of the patient better results
can be accomplished than by medica-
! ton.
Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
ily and friends, and close observance
on their part Of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease OF its
method and means of extending.

Items that Count.

There is one important fact that
should be indelibly fixed in the mind
of every tn liking. reasoning being,
and that is that any physical ierarge-
ment, no matter now slight, leaves its
impress on the system, and -nar the
individual can never be exactly the
same as before. We know this is con-
trary to the opinion generally ED. for
we frequently hear the remark made
concerning one who has recently
passed through a slight sickness:
The doctor says he is as sound as
bell now" This is optimism, pure
and simple. on the part of the phys
ician, and it does good by establishing
confidence in the mind Of the whilom
patient; but, in reality, t is not so.
No disturbance Of the normal course
Of the functions can pass away and
leave things exactly as they were. A
permanent damage has been inflicted,
and although 1t is not apprec! atef at
the time, Nature is rigid bookkeeper,
and these apparently trihing debts to
her are duly entered against he indi-
vidual, and you may rely upon Il that
sooner or later the bill will be pre-
sented. It is the sum total Of these
minor injuries that become forrqida-
ble-thc accumulation OF these trif-
ling arrangements that break down
constitutions ultimately.

It is a striking TACT that this atti

but il she would hold it up-assume
the attitude OF courage. though she

his Stiffness and awkwardness are the
direct results of his self-conscious-

string is attached 10 the upper part

10 let his body depend from that
