GRAND PARK BALL
IN ARMORY HALL

In the .ArmOry hall tonight one of
the biggest social events of the year is
to take place, the occasion being the
grand park benefit ball, given under
the auspices of the Woman's Park
club. Dancing will begin at o'clock,
with the grand march lead by Mayor
Tausick and other city officials.
The ball is not full dress affair and
no man need stay away because he
cannot wear a dress suit. neither need
any lady fear to go because she may
not have full evening dress. These are
not barred; neither, however, are they
required. 1t is not a formal function
and formal dress will not be worn by
the majority of the patrons of the
ball.
The proceeds of the ball are for the
park, of which Walla Walla is justly
proud. Full value for the money will
be given in the entertainment and

been attracted by the mysteries of the
Orient.
She took a deep interest in religion,
and in missionary work, and the one

ing in this she came to New York and
began teaching the little Sunday

Bonds, Good Bonds, Gold Bonds,
Have Some Bonds TODAY, Mister

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Investors
desiring a share of the new issue OF
$50, ,0Oe, 600 Panama canal per cent
gold bonds will have to hurry, as the
time allotted by the treasury depart
ment for receiving subscriptions will
expire at the close of business tOmOr-
row. According to unofficial reports
the subscriptions are already far in
excess of the amount to be issued
despite the fact that the bonds will
command a premium and will bear
only per cent interest.
The bonds will be dated Nov. g.
1898, thus making this a new issue
and interest will begin as of that date
They will mature in 80 years, but
may be redeemed in ten years. Each
bid must be accompanied by certi-
fed check for 2 per cent of the amount
Of the bid.
The SpOOner act providing for build
ing the canal authorized the issuance
of bonds to the amount of $130,000,O 900
and under it there have already been
two sales, one aggregating $30,000,0OO
and the other $24,000,000. The present
sale will bring the total up to $84,0OO,-
600, leaving but 46,00O,OO0 more to be
sold
Secretary Cortelyou said that no sig
nificance attaches to this issue at this
time; that the expenses of building
the canal, warrant the issue of more
bonds.
The cost of the big ditch has thus
far exceeded the amount realized
through selling bonds by more than
