 Red hearts of all sizes were hung Singly from wires stretched across the room while at intervals colored lights were concealed in artificial roses at tached to the wires. A number of favor dances were given during the evening, one in particular when each lady was given a red heart with a thermometer attached to it and this was pinned on her partner for that dance. During another favor, the gentlemen presented their ladies with small plaster paris cupids with bow and arrow The Martin orchestra was up to it's usual excellence of music. Delicious punch of two kinds was served during the entire vening, while a substantial lunch of sandwiches mix ed cakes, olives and coffee was also enjoyed in the card room of the club. It was a dance long to be remember ed and much credit is due the vari- ous committees in charge for their clever ideas of decoration and the work accom- mpanying it.

The following appeared as a spe- cial dispatch in the Arizona Demo- crat one day this week:
 FLORENCE, Feb. 12-A petition is being circulated in this city and is being generally signed, to the govern or and legislature protesting against leniency shown the prisoners. The petition recites that the prisoners from the penitentiary are permitted to come down town in the evenings dressed in citizens clothes with no distinguishing mark whereby they can be recognized from citizens. That they mingle in all gatherings and se- cure introductions to young girls and mothers. The petition demands that this privilege be stopped, that these convicts be kept within the prison grounds and not allowed around Flor ence dressed as other men are dressed The men of this communi- ty are accordingly disgusted with present conditions and ask that the legislature remedy it.

 The sudden death of Mrs. A. c.
 Stanton of spinal meningitis Tuesday of this week was a surprise to her many friends and aroused the deepest sympathy. Mrs. Stanton returned from visit in Texas recently and it is thought she contracted the fatal dis ease while in Texas. Funeral ser vices were held on Tuesday afternoon and she was buried in Bunkers ceme- tery. The loss of their little child last summer was sad one and his many friends extend r SympathieS to MT. Stanton over the double grief. The morning of his wife's death MT. Stanton mar rowly escaped a similar end from an explosion at the ice plant where he is engineer. The fire had gone out unknown to him in his hour of other trouble, and when the oil was turned into the furnace, it did not ignite i'm mediately but generated gas which was ignited and exploded. MT. Stan ton was blown against the side of the building and lifted some feet in the air, sustaining painful burns in the face and hands. The windows in the building were broken and the fur mace walls bulged to a considerable extent. It was, however, remarka- ble thing he was not more seriously injured

night with the most enthusiastic
audience of the week. AS a result,
the production by the Conness Mu-

popularity become.
The Avenue was the scene of con-

The second gallery was filed with
