DELIGHTFUL
HALLOWE' EN-
PARTY

One of the delightful social
functions of the season was the
Halloween party given by the
Beacon Light club to their hus-
bands at the spacious home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Reichel on
Oak street Thursday evening.
The guests arrived at six O'Clock
and were greeted at the door by
ghost who directed them down
stairs, where they found them
selves in the cellar, clasping a
hot water bottle. They then
were directed up stairs again
and were greeted by more weird
ghosts and witches, in the sun
parlor, where a curtain was
stretched across, behind which
the ladies were seated. As a
lady stepped before the curtain,
the gentlemen on the opposite
side of the curtain guessed who
the ladies were and as they CUES
sed, the right ones, in this way
they gained their partner for
dinner. After each gentlemen
had secured a partner, the party
repaired to the dinning room
which was elaborately decorat-
ed in the Halloween colors and
emblems, where a delicious
course dinner was served covers
being laid for forty. Jack lant-
erns and candles lit up therooms
and with the witches, ghosts
and spooks. a very weird effect
was carried out. Following din
ner, the evening was given over
to fortune telling by witches, and
Halloween jokes and contests.
An impromptu musical program
was carried out which was high
ly enjoyed by the party, after
which the guests departed for
their homes, reporting as having
spent a most delightful evening
at the hands of their host and
hostess Mr.. and Mrs. Reichel.

MINSTREL
SHOW GOOD

Tohn ". Vogel's Minstrels
played to a large audience at
Daly's Thurs. evening. The show
throughout was excellent and
pleased the large audience. Ed
die Male and Bobby Gossman
scored heavily as the headline
minstrel men. The dancing was
out of the ordinary and was ex-
cellentlv executed. The musical
numbers were many and varied.
The program was much more
diversified than is usually with
minstrel shows, the numbers
ranging from Verdi and Wager
nian Grand Opera to the "darky
songs" cf Dixie The show as a
whole was good and proved a
delightful entertainment.

engine. The cars struck the auto
mobile and rolled the car over
several times, carrying it dist
ance of about six rods.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Berray
was in the car all the time as
he was found not six feet away
from it when the train was
stopped. Examination showed
that both of Mr.. Berray's legs
were broken, one in three places
he also suffered a broken arm
and internal injuries. He was
taken to Red Granite for treat
ment and was still alive at s
O'Clock last night
Mr.. Berray was conscious
when picked up and described
how he did not see the string of
cars or the light of the brake
man, but was looking towards
the engine. He thought he had
time to cross the track before
the engine got to the crossing.

by the Girls Glee Club of the Lin
con high school was a big success
There were forty-eight mem

teachers OF the school in attend
ance. The affair was given in the
music room of the Witter build
ingwhich has been appropriately
decorated for the occasion,
One of the big features of the
evening was "A Trip to Hades'
This was really spectacular
scenic production and did great

because of it, every one had a
most delightful time and did full

While the attendance of busi-
ness men was not as large as it
should have been, the discussion
and interest manifested was
more spirited than it has been
for some time. The question of
knocking real estate and stock
sales was discussed pro and con
and appeared to be the unanim-
Gus opinion of those present
that every body in Grand Rapids
should help boost everything
that would have a tendency to
build up this city and vicirity.

membership reports the follow
ing applications which were
unanimously elected to member
ship. They are: Johnson & Hill

ON the meeting held at Wausau
IN the movement to reduce
freight rates. On motion, he was
authorized to make an estimate
of what percentage each shipper
should pay of the 1920 that is
our share of the expense to raise
in accordance with the amount
of freight ne pays, and report
that estimate at the next
meeting.
The question of holding a
dollar sale, or special market
day sales, came up Tor discussion
and it was the sense of the
meeting that some monthly sale
should be held and to fix the
time on market day if thought
best. A committee was appoint
ed to investigate this matter
more fully and talk it over with
the business men and make a
report along this line. This
committee is composed of A.C.
Otto, J. R. Ragan and F. D. Abel
The matter of having a band for
the city was thoroughly dis
cussed and G. D. Fritzsinger. a
member of the old band, was
instructed to secure all the
information that he could from
the old band members as to the
PROBABILITIES of the organizat-
ion of a new band with a good
leader
IF any of these committees
came to a difinite con clusion to
carry out any Que of these vent
ures, they were to call a meeting
OF the dictatorship and make
their report and decide on plans
of action.
For the next regular meeting,
the question of securing a post

ion for it will be discussed by

are directly and indirectly
interested in this public enter
prise. A large and full attendance
