MASKED BALL
WAS SUCCESS
LARGE ATTENDANCE AND GOOD
TIME AT ANNUAL EVENT BY
POST AND RELIEF CORPS.
Fifty Couples En- Masque Participate
in Grand March, Led by Floor Man.
ager and Participated in BY vete-
rans-Lists of Committees Having
the Affair in Charge.

The twenty-sixth annual masque
rade ball by Custer post No. /, Grand
Army of the Republic, at Maennerchol
hall last night, was not only quite vel
ATTENDED, but was a social success as
well, there being a hundred maskers
in the grand march. The march was
led by the floor manager, A. C. Musser
and Miss Ray Daniels, several mem.
bers of the post and relief corps com
ing next. The affair was managed ably
by a floor committee consisting of Com.
rades William Brands, John Mast. E.
~. Holiday and A. B. Pope, the recep-
ton committee consisting of Comrades
Holiday, Kinnear, Logan, Spalding,
Byers, S~odergreen, Haley and Reals
and Mrs. Weightman, the president of
Custer relief corps, Mrs. DR.. Gardiner,
Mrs. Houston, Mrs. Reals, Mrs. Holli-
day, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Baillie and Mrs.
Atkinson.
The maskers were a jolly lot. some
very grotesque costumes being worn.
No prizes were offered and there was
no competition, all going in for a de
lightful time, which they certainly had.
The cowboys romped with the queen
of night and the summer girl was hand
in hand with the owner OF millions and
the tramp from the east. The Indian
squaw with her pappose on her back
was the partner of Hans Sniggelsiefen
and Patrick O'Houlahan, and the queen
of hearts was often the partner of the
devil himself. The masks were re-
moved before II o'clock and there was
much fun and many expressions of sur
prise. 1t would be difficult to say who
were the best costumed, some of the
masked participants being able to keep
their identity secret until the last mo-
ment.
The ladies of the w. r. C. served an
excellent supper on the stage, the pro-
ceeds forming a very snug sum to be
added to the treasury of the society.
The following other committees from
the post and relief corp had charge of
the affair:
Observation-Disclosures Holiday,
Robinson, Brands, Fitch, Mast, Kin.
near and Sitter.
Printing-Comrades Fitch and Slit
ger.
Music and Hall-Comrade Brands.
Costumes-Comrade Mast.
Coat Room-Comrade Cook.
Cloak Room-Mrs. Kinnear.
Back Door-Comrade Logan.
Late Supper-W. r. C.
DecorationS-The post.
The decorations consisted of stands
OF arms, flags and the banners of the
post and relief corps.

and that Mrs. Perdue was with them at
the time.
By this the attorneys of the woman
hope to create in the minds Of jurors a
reasonable doubt as to her guilt.
The jury will be instructed either to
find Mrs. Perdue guilty of first degree
murder or to find her not guilty.
The state introduced two witnesses
this morning, Drs. McGaugh and Crow
ley. Their testimony tended to show
that DR.. Perdue was shot by someone
kneeling close to the bed, Judging from
the range of the ball.
The state has accounted by Mrs.
Leakey, the mother of the defendant,
for the whereabouts of every one in the
house on the night of the killing. but
Mrs Leakey failed to state where Mrs.
Perdue was at the time.
The defense will hint to the jury that
the physician was killed by an enemy
in this county.

is BEER A FOOD PRODUCT.
Department of Agriculture Takes UP
investigation.

Washington, Feb. 13.-That beef is
a food product and that it is fast com
ing to be classed with the least harm
full beverages, is a claim now receiving
the close attention of the government
experts connected with the department
of agriculture. The department of ag-
riculture is, and has been for some
time, pursuing an investigation of the
nature, effects and value of beer.
DR.. w. H. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, of the department of ag,
riculture, is especially interested in the
subject, having referred to it frequent,
ly in lectures. DIR. Wiley is not yet
ready to make any statement or report
on the question as to whether beer is
a food product.
Il will say this much,' he said to-
day, that the use of beer and wines
aids in the work of temperance. To
illustrate, there is not near SO much in
temperance in Germany, where wines
and beer are used to such a great ex-
tent, as there is in Scotland, where
spirituous liquors are principally used"
Germany, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States, in the order named, are the
largest producers of malt beverages,
and the general good health of the
Germans, English and Americans is
pointed to as strong proof of the argu
ment that beer is a food product, ant
that its consumption aids, instead o
retarding, the work of temperance.

FAKE PROPOSALS STILL
COMING TO The STATE

In spite of the action taken by the
state board of medical examiners, the
South Bend College of Optics is still
sending out its fake proposals to make
opticians out of all who make applica
tions in a course of twenty lessons al
a cost of $3.50, says the Cheyenne Tri
bune.
The state board has announced thai
it will not recognize diplomas granted
to people in this way, but it is under
stood thai the college" is still seek
ing suckers all over Wyoming and is
probably getting many replies to their
circulars. The people are warned not
to %patronize this institution, as the di
plomas will not be recognized and the
opticians can not practice in Wyo,
ming.

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and may be
cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm two or three times a day and rub

dampened with Pain Balm, and quick

AMERICAN LEAGUES
HOT REMNANT RACE

Last week was rather disastrous one
to the western contenders In the race for
the American League championship, the
crippled Clevelanders losing Is points in
their wrestle with the eastern teams and
Chicago losing nine. During the same Pc
Rod the Athletics played six games, win
ming five and losing one. making a net
gair OF Is points. New York did still bet
ter. winning all FIVE games played and
launching It's percentage 81 points. The
Athletics now have lead OF 16 points
over the New Yorks, 81 over Cleveland and
Sd over Chicago. The Chicagos showed the
effects of the strain imposed upon them In
their brilliant squirt at home. when they
threatened to so right to the front, while
the Cievelanders' setback may be attrib-
uted in part to the accidents which have
befallen their players. To return home in
the lead. the Athletics must do almost as
we'll the road as the New Workers
Undoubtedly both Chicago and Cleveland
will brace up In the games to be played
In their own yards. but IL Is unlikely that
either will be able to pass the Athletics
or New Yorks, unless one OF the latter
tea ms makes an awful slump.
During the month OF July the New yorks
led the race on three different occasions
the Athletics twice and the Cievelands
once On the I'd New York was first. with
the Athletics and Cleveland tied for sec
