ST. VALENTINE CELEBRATION
The Annual ST. Valentine Party Was
Given Last Eevning at Me-
mortal Hall.

The spacious dining hall was never
annual Valentine party. The tables
were arranged in the form of a NAL
tese cross with a circular center ia
BILE, from which there hung festoons
of smilaX, banked underneath with
white primroses. Cupids of gold
fitted around this garland.
Ribbon streamers of red tissue pa
per were draped in graceful folds
from the chandeliers and from these
dangled hearts, arrows and saucy GU
pids of red and gold. The long Ia
bles We're adorned with Jerusalem
cherry trees, from which fluttered GU
pids and hearts.
At 5 p. m. the students arrived
and each was given a snapper which
contained, as the name implies, a
snapper to make a noise, a whistle.
a paper cap and various other things.
The parcels were numbered and this
formed a devise for obtaining part
ners for the march to dinner, which
was led by Prof. Spera and Miss En-
ma Rempfer.
Previous to being seated at din
ner, valentines were drawn from a
fish pond in the corner of the dining
room. While seated at the table
with the varied array of caps on.
Mr.. Stair photographed the assembly
from every point of view. The flash
light exposure called forth a good
many screams and gasps.
The dinner Vas unusually nice and
Mrs. Evans deserves much credit for
her skilled management of the af-
fair. After dinner the guests assem-
bled in the spacious parlors, where
the young ladies had a lively hunt
for candy hearts secreted in the most
tantalizing places. Then the young
men, in the most daring fashion, pro-
posed to the young ladies for their
hearts; and if accepted, they won a
heart; if rejected, they tried again.
College songs closed the evenings
frolic and all declared that the party
was fun from start to finish.
One thing, however, marred the
occasion to a certain extent: DR.. and
Mrs. Nicholson have always been
present at this annual function, bat
o N account of illness could not at
tend. We regret very much that
they could not have been with US
and sincerely hope they will soon re-
cover.-A Participant.

DIED FROM HIS FALL
The FAN OF Earnest Malloy Proedv
Fatal for Him, as He Died
Sunday Morning at IL.

When Ernest Malloy, whose pro
fession is that of a baker, retired to
his room Friday night in Jacob
koch's hotel on Lawler street, he
had little idea that he would nearly
d corpse this morning, but he es-
il mi.aculously, and as it is he
is in very bad shape and may not re-
cover.
Malloy has been laying off from
work since Wednesday with a bad
case of asthma, and he has been try
ing to drown the disease in drink,
going to the length pretty strong.
When he went to bed he was badly
intoxicated and along about mid
night he awoke and felt the need of
some fresh air. Malloy got up and
raised the window to let the cool
night air subdue the tired feeling he
had, but he lost his balance and fell
a distance of eleven feet to the ce-
ment sidewalk below. Nobody seems
to have heard the noise and in a few
moments he recovered conscious
ness and went back to his room. He
informed Mr.. Koch what a tumble
he had taken and a physician was
called. Malloy did not show any
fractures as a result of the fall, al
though the physician said he was in
very bad shape. Malloy could not
say what part of his body st1uc:. The
cement walk first, but he had The
luck of an intoxicated man and aid
not get killed outright.
1t is believed that Malloy IS with
out means and that the county will
have to take charge of the case.
After making an examination of
Ernest Malloy, who fell from the sec
ond story window of the Germania
house on Lawler street Friday night,
a physician gave it as his opinion
that Malloy was about all in, either
from the effects of the fall or the
amount of liquor which he drank in
ZIG lew udSS DGlOIS. llC night lldl
Malloy fell from the window he did
not make any cutlery sufficient to
arouse anybody around the house,
and after regaining consciousness,
he got up and walked to his room,
telling Mr.. Koch aDout it the next
morning.
Sunday morning the condition OF
Malloy was somewhat worse, and it
continued so until he passed away at
IL O'Clock. Word was sent to his
mother Saturday of the accident and
she arrived Sunday morning via the
Omaha road about an hour before
her SOL passed away.
In the afternoon the remains were
prepared for burial and the mother
departed on the evening Omaha pas
senger with the remains for Walnut
Grove, Mimi, for interment.

CHOIR SINGERS entertained
An Evening of Festivities and Mar

Happiness to Everybody.

Misses Marjorie Ruth, Helen Co
man and Beatrice DeWolf enter
tanned the members of the Congre-
gational choir Thursday evening at
the home of Miss Ruth, which was
in the nature of a valentine party,
and the amusements that the young
ladies provided were enough to keep
the guests busy all the evening. The
rooms We're %festooned with hundreds
of hearts and it was a perfect bower
of beauty. The young gentlemen
We're set to work to write proposals
of marriage to the young ladies and
they grasped their pencils in hand
to write acceptances of the same.
When the labor had been completed
the proposals and a~cceptances were
mixed up and read to the company.
This little advertisement of the heart
affair was made W. more pointed
when the young men were informed
they We're required to make verbal
proposals to the young ladies, but

pients of these proposals, for they
We're required to prevent the young
men from proposing. This afforded
a great lea of fun for all concerned,
and perhaps the proposals will be
treasured for future reference.
Refreshments We're served during
the evening and the manner in which
they were placed on the table was
indeed unique. The salads We're gar
nished with heart shaped devices and
in fact everything bore that same en-
blem. The rest of the evening was
spent in the singing of songs in which
the whole choir participated with
great pleasure. The young ladies
who managed the affair were the re-
%cipients of many compliments for the
delightful affair.
