THURSDAY, FEBRUAY is.

The annual ball Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen of Madi-
son is announced to be held this year

the music will be provided by the
Apollo orchestra. The following gem
eral arrangements committee has

f. G. killion, VIM. Hughes, NJ.
Matthison, JOS. Lawler, Nick Kaiser.
The trainmen's ball has been an
annual event in Madison for a dozen
years or more and has constantly
grown in popularity. Railway men
are proverbially h%ospitable when en-
t%ertaining their friends, and their an
nual ball is a time when they invite
everybody to become their guests and
enjoy their hospitality.
Heretofore. at their annual event,
the dancing hall has been made at
tractive with appropriate decorations
and novelties have been introduced
which has kept the guests thorough
ly entertained. The party will be
carried out this year on the same
elaborate plans which have marked
former occasions, and no doubt the
same large number of dancers will
be in attendance.
