About 1880 o'clock Friday night the

About 11:30 o'clock Friday night the
residence of Uriah Perks at the foot of
Main street was discovered in flames,
and the word was telephoned up town
at once. The fire boys responded
promptly and although the house was
so far gone that the roof was ready to
fall in when they finished the long run
they did good work and soon had the
flames extinguished although the. house
is practically total loss. The prop
erty is known as the Capt. Gibson prop
erty, and has been owned for some
years by Isaac Cation who recently
sold it on contract to Mr.. Perks. There
was an insurance of $500 on the house
which will cover the loss. IMr. Perks
had 800 insurance on his furniture.
Mrs. Perks and the small children were
alone at the time Of the fire, Mr.. Perks
having gone to Missouri the day previ-
GUS. The fire was caused from defec-
tive fiue.

the most beautiful and elaborate lunch
cons which has been, given in society
this season when Mrs. Helen: Close en-
tertained Thursday afternoon Her
entire suite was handsomely decorated
with many ferns and relieved by vases
of brilliant cut flowers. At half past
two the luncheon was served in the
dining room. Gibson's girls adorned
the place cards and in the center of
the table was placed circular mirror
surrounded by eluny lace and upon
which rested large cut glass urn filled
with purple violets. From this stream
ers of soft purple ribbon radiated to
the edges of the table and the effect
was striking. When the luncheon had
ended the guests took part in game
of whist at which Mrs. A. R. Snyder
won the highest number of points and
the first prize, a magnificent china urn.
The second prize, a loving cup of Dres-
den ware, was won by Mrs. j. W. Frey.

scented to allow Romeo until today to

Romeo lost no time in getting out of
the police court Had he washed his face
before appearing before the judge he
would have made a fairly presentable
