Dances are frequently given at Leavenworth hall and some very en- joyable times are held there. but it is doubtful if any of the events during the year was as enjoyable as the in- formal affairs of the High school class es, one of which took place last ev- ening. Some weeks ago the young ladies of the junior and senior classes entertained the young men of these classes, so the latter thought they would give return and last night was the date selected. There was just enough present to make dancing enpoyable and the eighteen numbers and the four extras, which are as rule on High school pro- grams, consisted of some fine waltzes, couple of the dreamy kind, lively two-steps, schottisches and three steps. Several of the graduates were on hand and the following were also present, who during the evening when not dancing occupied cosey corner artistically arranged in corner of the hal: Mir and Mrs B w. Tinker, MT and Mrs S. W. Wilby. Mir and Mrs NJ O Donovan, Miss Elise Carret. Miss Lillian Arthur, Miss NJ. Cowan and Miss N Hayden. The committee which so well arranged the dance was Vincent Maloney, chairman; Christo' pher Ketchem. Louis Stadmiller. Will liam c. Keenan, jr, and Harry Hum phrey.

NON-sUPPORT CASE.
Put Over Until Tomorrow to Bring
 in Witnesses.

The case against George Natale for non-support of his wife was contin- ued to tomorrow morning, as the witnesses were not present. It is possible that an arrangement will be made by which Natale shall pay his wife $3 a week and continue living with the mother of his three chil- dren near Lakewood. Mrs Natale, who came here from Italy a few weeks ago, was under the impression that it was a divorce the court was going to give her instead of means of support, so it is possible that she will apply for a divorce, because, it is said, she has already her eye on a free born American.
