MODERN DANCES DISCARDED FOR
THE TIME BEING
Large Number of Citizens Participate
in Annual Ball of the Goth Century
Club.

With stately and measured steps,
chivalrous knights of ye olden time,
with bepowdered queus marked time,
with colonial danes in ruffled finery
OF the days of our Pilgrim Fathers In
the minuet, lancers and many steps
unknown to rising America. The gen
tie courtesy, graceful rythem, made
marked and pleasing contrast to the
present day steps. Under the beauti-
fully decorated balcony the dancers
presented notable picture. Old and
young alike entered into the spirit
OF the evening in manner to make
the ball one of the pleasantest ever
held in this city.
The furnishings of the hall were
Colonial and the club colors, green
and white, were used in decorating.
Colonial wreaths we're used at the
head of each plaster, between which
narrow strips Of green bunting were
festooned combining with the white
walls to form the club colors. The
town was ransacked for Colonial mir
rors and pictures for the walls, and
palms were scattered at intervals In
the hall. The beautiful and attractive
designing was the work of Mils Hamltn
Mrs ]. E. White and Miss ThofhAs.
In one end OF the hall was stationed
the Regan Mandolin orchestra which
played at intervals during the even
ing. The table from which the punch
was served was also trimmed In green
and white, and was presided over by
Mesdames Ripley, Gates, Kaylor, Gilt
Mann, Swim, Clouchek, Mitchell
Sweet, Evans and Karis. The auditor
ium was beautifully decorated with
American flags, and the stage was
banked with palms. The decorations
of the auditorium were under the di-
rection of Mr.. Halle, of the Idaho De-
partment Store, assisted by the decor
ating committee
The balcony was filled with specta-
tors long before the hour Of the. pro
gram which was a most excellent one
furnished by Mesdames Wiley, Duvali
Miss Combs and Miss Rauch, Miss
Lester and Miss Thomas, Miss Edit
Ramsay and Mrs. Guibert. Vocal So

gram, came the grand march led D!

tiful and stately Colonial minuet, let
by Miss Stella Perrine and Mr.. Burto1
E. Morse, twenty-seven couples taking
part. This closed the Colonial pro
gram. The music was furnished b!

show that all of the present day so

ism through the ascendancy to power
of the Socialist party.
Many incidents In the industrial
warfare and activities of the warning
capital and labor factions were
brought out to show, the inevitable
trend Of events under present form OF
government.
Mr.. Debs ia both forceful and brill
liant speaker and has a convincing
manner which holds even those who
may not agree with his propaganda
1t is certain that after hearing Mr.
QahS,s very few people will refuse t
FfecOgnize him rs the strongest Social

$500 was destroyed by fire which
started in the cleaning and pressing
room of w. L. Dow. on Shoshone

FEATHERED STOCK SHOW.

The Fifth Annual Show OF the Man

itowoc people ever had the pleasure Of
seeing in this city. Ill more outside
birds were shown than last year. One
of the outside birds was valued 10000

was heard TO say, Gee Whiz, | wish |
had 800 | would buy him. A local
man refused $1,000 for one of his win

BOY COMMITS SUICIDE.

Jos. Small, %, living with his wild
owed mother on Clark street commit
ted suicide at his home yesterday by
drinking carbolic acid
The young man has beer working at
the hosting machinery at the Reiss
docks and had asked for leave OF alb
sence on account of sickness three
weeks ago. He was told to report
again Monday but did not 60 to work.
Tuesday he told his mother that he
was going to Milwaukee and that even
ing he was about town in his usual spir-
it's. He came home about o'clock
yesterday morning and his mother
heard him fall and fastening TO him
found him on the floor unconscious. A
physician summoned at once found
him dead. An empty acid phial in his
hand and burns on his lips proclaimed
the means of his death. He left a
note which the family would not make
public but which is said to have con-
cerned his work and some fellow en-
ployes. An inquest was thought to be
unnecessary.

POLICE AND COUNTY, IN FEUD.

The city police department has re-
fused to post notices in the so saloons
of the city of the district attorneys Or
ders forbddng the sale of liquor to
certain persons. The county board re-
Gently disalowed certain fees for work
performed by city policemen on the
ground that they were paying the sher-
if salary to do the county work Of this
character. These fees were always al
lowed heretofore. The boards action
may be the cause of the refusal of the
police to distribute these posting"
notices. The county board allows po-
licemen including the chief s. per
r:onth for the care of tramps and Cap
tain Carle $40. This perquisite Of $50
per annum may be Topped off the chiefs
income if the fued deveopes any fur
ther.
There are rumors that there has not
been entire accord between the district
attorney since the raid on disorderly
house some months ago in the absence
of the district attorney from the city
and the attorneys prosecution OF the
women in his own way which resulted
in pleas of guilty.
Another police matter that received
publicity the past weeks was the case of
Norvin Foster. This young policeman
who entered the Star Hotel to quell a
disturbance last spring and was beat up
for his pains was suspended by the
chief last week and the matter certif-
ed to the board of commissioners.
Pending hearing the young man re-
signed. The gist of the ofrense charg-
ed was that he permitted woman to
abuse him shamefully and in disord-
erly manner in a public place without
resentng it.
Yesterday suit was instituted by
Chief Groffman and officer Charles
Dueno against the county to collect
some $40 Of the fees alleged by them
to be due and owing. From appear
ances the matter will be fought to a
finish. 1t is commenced in municipal
court but will doubtless reach the cir
cult court whichever way it goes.

Mr.. Geo. II. Drewry state graded
school inspector spent the past week
with the superintendent visiting grad
ed schools. In general this was a
pleasant week. Conditions in general
were found to be satisfactory. The
Valders' school has grown so that it
will be necessary to build an addition
to the present building. Two years
ago slight changes were made and a
third teacher was added. The enroll.
ment at Valders is greater than at any
graded school in the county. There
were ll6 enrolled, There will undoub.
tedly be II special meeting called to de-
termine what should be done.
The Mishicot school which added a
fourth teacher and tenth grade was ad-
vised if they saw fit to continue their
work and plan for high school. No eX-
ira teacher will be needed for next year.
There are twenty tuition students at
Mshlcot This tuition will be paid by
the town. All of our first class graded
schools had their work approved so
that they can collect the tuition from

Many of the teachers will undoubted-
ly take up the matter of the sale OF the
Red Cross Christmas Seals. If possi-
BILE teachers should secure their stamps
from our local organization as then one
half of the proceeds will remain in our
county. If stamps are secured from

IN NJ EMORIA.

Written 70 the memory of Katie F. Grove.
Dear Katie lies ia the cold grave now,
Far down beneath the clay,
The Angel OF Death came swooping
down
And carried her away.
The pain you give oh, tyraut Death
Is hard oh bard to bear.
You took away the household pet
From mothers loving care.
Took Off in the morning OF life,
Like flower cut down la its bloom,
Removed from earthly strife
To the cold and silent tomb.
Her soft, sweet eyes are closed forever
To the sights Of this world below.
On earth again wen see her never
She was called and had 10 90.
She is gone TO the land OF eternal sun.

To meet the angels bright.
Away from this cold and dismal cline
TO live in the field OF light.

For when your bodies lie under the SOC
Yod'll meet you darling on the the
golden street.
High up In the city OF God.

WHO Is IT?

Someone who is fat and Jolly,
And foe OF melancholy,
Never failed to slide and slip
Through our chimney, every trip.
And he always on his back
Carries a tremendous sack.
Leaves for each Il gift or two,
And then scampers up the llue-
Urchins, if his name you doubt,
Scan these lines and spell it out.

The practicability of getting conden'

the bugaboo. Schuetze said: "The

Thorison and Schuetze wanted to
keep them to fall back on if the new

be the necessary / to accept bids for

The special committee on the ordin.
ance creating the Office of supervisor of
assessments to be employed all year
recommended that the ordinance he
tabled but that al expert be employed
for six months. They said that Mr.
Connell Income Tax Assessor can get a

report contining the expert to local
residents Thorison said. "This change
is proposed to get change not to get
what we've been getting We might
as well drop it as go through the forms
of Improvement for nothing" Schuet-
ze's proposition was lost. He was sup
ported by Nienauber, Kapitz, Smugler

ploy the expert assessor and report
their action.

none of the council are independent

nothing sinister but Georgenson, Thor
