FIVE POINTS.
I'M another correspondent.

From another correspondent.
Now, while we are talking Tor
writing rather) isn't this an ideal
old fashioned winter for you? Well,
there are happy prospects for an early
spring and good one when it does
come. This unusual amount of snow
will add greatly to the fertility of
the soil, consequently, the farmers
should not 'knock" when the path
master says, ''get out with your snow
plow."
Miss Anna Steil who has been for
the past four years employed in
Emmetsburg, Iowa. is home now on a
visit among friends and relatives.
Anna spent the greater part of her
youth in this vicinity.
Mr. and Mrs. Vern Bass and little
daughter Helen. of Kearney, Neb-
raksa, visited the past week at the
Bennie Bass home.
James Boyle having decided to take

Several from here attended the
party at Joe Bass last Wednesday
evening. It was complete surprise
on Mr.. and Mrs. Bass. But after a
few inquiring looks at the guests who
kept coming with bakets laden with
goodies they changed their attire
and in their usual humorous way
were ready to entertain their many
friends. Everybody declared it a
very social gathering and one to be
remembered.
Sunday visitors: Mrs. Boyle at
Kern's; Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Auel at
Boyle's; Curtis at NJ. o. Reynolds;
Harry Bass at home.
Miss Pearl Galloway, of Lancaster,

Rink and be as Interesting as Ever.
Everybody VIII Be Welcome.

The annual children S party, under
the management of the Woman s
Club, will be held at the rink Satur-
day evening, Jan. 90, instead of Fri
day evening as announced last week,
on account of the high school debate.
The party will last from to 10;
admission 10 cents to all over years
OF age-under that age, free.
No one oven 13 will be allowed on
the floor, but all will be welcome AS

7 30 music by the Boys Band.
Doll carriage parade as usual.
Boys parade with flags and banner

many children, we will have the
Teddy Bear parade this year, for
both boys and girls. which we
omitted last year.
Mr.. Schade's gymnasium class will
go through their drill, in costume.
There will be several special
features and three prize contests:
1. The Quick dressing contest. for
boys-the caps coats and shoes being
first thrown together into large box.
2. Tie Wraps" contest for
girls, their caps, cloaks and rubbers
being put into the pox as above.
8. Foot racing for smalI boys.
Ice cream cones. candy and pop
corn will be for sale.
We were told last year that some
children were not allowed to attend
this party because their clothes were
not good enough. -
We wish to say that we think it
unjust to children to deprive them of
an evenings pleasure for so slight a
cause. The party is not meant for a
"dressy" affair. and we wish that
every child in Lancaster could come.
Those from a distance will also be
warmly welcomed Committee.

COMPLAINT OF DISORDERLY
AGAINST TANNERS SALOON
City Council Has Asked Managers to
Show Cause Why License Shall Not
be Revoked.

At special meeting of the city
council held Monday evening it was
voted to serve a summons on the
managers of Frank Tanners saloon
to appear before the council Friday
evening and show cause why the
license of that place should not be
revoked.
It is alleged in the complaint made
by Marshal Mccarthy that the Tanner
saloon is a disorderly place and that
the terms of the license are constantly
being violated. If this is true that
is but one course for the council to
take in the matter and that is to re-
woke the license.
The license, Frank Tanner is at
present out of the city and, it is said,
that he probably will be for some
time.
The summons issued Immediately
after the meeting Monday night was
served, as we above stated, upon the
managers of the saloon and requires
them to show cause why the license
shall not be revoked. The meeting
will be conducted much as a court
hearing, the prosecution and the
defense both introducing whatever
testimony they see fit.
Mayor Bennett and Aldermen
Abrams, Treloar. Barnett. Roth,
Goble and Henkel were present at
the meeting and also City Atty.
Clementson. After short discussion
motion was made and seconded to
serve the summons above described
and the aldermen voted unanimously
in favor of it. No other business
came before the council and the meet
ing was adjourned until Friday even
ing at 2 100 o'clock.
