Mrs. W. E. Spencer received a letter
this week from her brother, former Coun
ty Superintendent J. W. Baumgardncr,
dated Kobe, Japan, Janurary 20, in which
he says; "We reached Yokohoma Sun
day after ten days sailing from Honolulu.
On our arrival at Yokohoma our boat was
ordered to report as a Japan transport by
January 22, so we only stopped one day at
Yokohoma and then came on here where
passengers and cargo of Nippon Maru have
been transferred to the Showmut. a ship
under our own flag. We sail from here
Saturday going to Moje, Japan, stopping
there one day then to Hong Kong, China,
where we stay two days before proceeding
to Manila. We expect to reach there by
February 4, ten days later than the Nippon
Maru was due, but we will get to see more
of Japan and China which we could not
had we continued as at first. War is con
fidently expected by a large number of
Japanese people and they feel confident of
success. Wo have visited several temples
and climbed the mountains near here.
Yokohoma is more important for Pacific
travel and is twenty miles" from Tokio the
capital but Kobe is more important for
ocean traffic, much for merchandise; it is
ten miles from Osaka, a city of 500,000
but not a port. There is a German cruiser
in part, also French, English and Ameri
can steamers. The Shomut is of the J. J.
Hill line of steamers and connects with
the Northern Pacific at Seattle. It is
larger than the Nippon also, 505 feet long
900 tonnage. We have Sexto Lopez on
board from Honolulu to Manila. He was
one of the leaders with Aguinaldo in the
Filipino insurrection and has been in Eng
land since the war. He is not in sympathy
with United States occupation of the Phil
lipines but we do not find him disagree
able company. It was quite cold at Yoko
homa, Fujuyama being white with snow
from base to its 13,000 feet snmmit; we
had a fine view of it, also a smoking volca
no. The first snow of the season fell at
Kobe. Monday but was all melted by noon
Tuesday, however, the people feel the cold
and look it too. They have queer ways of
warming and many of their customs and
manners are extremely strange, we are
well and enjoying the trip; will have cover
ed 8,000 miles of ocean travel when we
reach Manila and will be glad to get there
as it is a long time to be on the water.'
A cablegram stated that the Showmut
arrived at Manila February 5; that Sexto
Lopez refused to take the oath of allegi
ance and wili be promptly deported.

FIRST SOCIAL FUNCTION A GRAND SUCCESS
THE Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers of the
Wyoming division of the B.
& M. carried oft the laurels
of the social season Wednes
day night, when they gave"
their first annual reception
and ball, and the many admirers of this
worthy organization extend congratulations
to the members thereof. The work of
the committees that brought about this
triumphant success is praised by all who
attended the social event and were the
recipients of such considerations that
made the time pass so pleasantly but al
together too quickly.
It is estimated that fully seven hundred
people were in attendance at the Phelan
opera house and at least a hundred more
found it impossible to gain admission on
account of the crowded condition of the
house. The reception and program which
took place here were cordial and interest
ing and judging from the enthusiastic
applause of the audience the selections
were well received.
Quick's orchestra from Lincoln began
the evening's entertainment with several
musical selections that enraptured the
audience and set those present in a joyful
mood for the night's mirth. Mr. RobefV
Freeland, a member of the Brotherhood of
Engineers, on behalf of the order ex
pressed his thanks for the general interest
manifested in their behalf and the liberal
greeting on this occasion. The speaker
reviewed the progress of the Alliance
division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and in a most interesting man
ner told of its struggles and hardships in
the past, when the members had to strive
against what seemed unsurmountable
obstacles, but this evening, the speaker
continued, the order had the satisfaction
of realizing that their efforts were not in
vain, and their friends are now counted
by the score. Mr. Freeland was heartily
applauded at the conclusion of his remarks.
The moving pictures exhibited were
the best thing of the kind presented in this
city. The thrilling experience of a train
robbery by four masked- bandits worked
the audience into fever heat. The over
powering of the station operator and the
approach of the express "train were as
natural as realty. The water tank, where
the puffing engine slacked up to take
water, concealed the hold-ups. Just as the
train resumed its journey the robbers
darted out from beneath the tank and
boarded the express car, next to the loco
motive. When an isolated section of
country was reached the work of holding
up the train occurred. Two robbers turned
their attention to the engineer and fireman
and the latter in combat with the outlaws
is stabbed to death aud the body thrown
from the fast moving train. The engineer
is made to bring the train to a halt. In
the meantime a fierce battle is waged be
tween the other bandits and express mes
senger who also meets death, Then fol
lowed the dynamiting of the safe and se
curing of the money packages. Next the
passengers were lined up outside the cars
and relieved of their valuables. The lo
comotive is then detached from the train
and the robbers make their escape. Other
scenes show the pursuit and final killing
of the outlaws while in the act of dividing
the stolen property. Other pictures fully
as intm anting uare exhibited. The portraits
of several' prominent B. & M. employes
Drought forth appreciative applause from
the audience.
Not only was the entertainment con
fined to fleeting pleasure, which passes
away with the dying notes of music, but
those present ware treated to a deep, well
worded address by Rev. Father Galvin,
who spoke on the relationship of organ
ized labor toward kindred combi nations.
His reverence outlined the plans upon
which the workmen conld combine with
gut infringing epon the rights of others
ana at tfte sane time advancing their own
interests. Father Galvin also reviewed
the history of the local organltation of
engineers aad congratulated the members
for the energy manifested in making their
order one to be respected. The logical
conclusions brought forth by the speaker
proved him to be n deep student of that
ever perplexing question of social equality.
The concluding feature of the entertain
ment consisted of a cake walk executed by
two little girls Alice Morris and Ruth
Hagar. If there are two things more than
any other amusements nn American audi
ence is weak on it's rag-time music and
cake walks. And in the latter Alice and
Ruth made a decided hit. As the saying
goes among members of the theatrical
profession, to be successful is to possess
the natural simplicity of a child, and this
lovable, childish trait together with good
training produced complete success in this
instance. To Miss Minnie Morris is due
the credit for the little ones' accomplish
ments. At the conclusion of the entertainment
at the Phelan opera house the attention of
the invited guests was turned to the Zbin-den-Millcr
hall, where the ball was to
follow. In the social history of Alliance
no such large gathering of people has
assembled as was present on this occasion.
Though the rumor was circulated that this
elegant new block was weak in the knees
it stood the strain of fully one thousand
people and a locomotive. And it is
still there. The capacity of the room was
taxed to its utmost. The committee on
decoration won much praise in tho manner
of artistic designs with which the interior
of the hall was embelished. To give a
minute description of it in print is not
possible, and as the old saying goes, "it
should be seen to be appreciated." The
walls and ceiling were beautifully decorat
ed with bunting and ribbon of the colors
of the order. Pictures adorned the wall
above which hung the torch and lantern
two true friends of the engineer many -a
dark, stormy night. A novel and interest
ing feature of the decorations was a typical
locomotive emerging from Belmont tunnel.
The engine stood in the northwest corner
of the room and with the lighted headlight
and the sound of the exhaust and puffing
a nearer comparison to the original was
impossible. When the bell rang many an
eye was turned toward the locomotive in
fear that it might move ahead. But to
many the most interesting feature of the
decorations were the mottoes of the
brotherhood, namely, "Sobriety," "Hon
esty," ' Truth," " Morality." These virt-
I ucs are golden and mean morn than the
toogue of man' can expibss. Tb.a cci.it.-
nation is the making of tne model man'and
this is what the engineer should be. Of
all' tradesmen to him is entrusted the most
Sacred duties and responsibilities. In him
humanity must have the Utmost confidence.
In the darkness of night the passengers
nestle down to sleep with confidence that
the hand that guards their safety is
controlled by sobriety, honesty, truth and
morality. Then the Spirit that is the
Father of these virtues rules the cab of
the engine that hauls the precious human
freight.
At 9:30 the ball began. Prior to the
grand march and by request, the cake
walk was repeated by the little girls, which
was greeted in the same spirit manifested
at the opera house. With the ringing of
the locomotive bell and the outburst of
music by Quick's orchestra the long line
of dancers took up the grand march lead
by Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Harris. As the neatly
attired couples passed in review through
the spacious hall the sight was beautiful to
behold and the men behind the throttle
had every reason to feel proud of their
guests. At the conclusion of the march
the dancers indulged in the various steps
to their hearts' content. The program con
tained twenty numbers with three extra
dances. It is only to the credit of Quick's
orchestra to state that the music was all
the heart could desire and assisted mater
ially in making the pleasant event such a
decided success.
At one corner of the room delicate re
freshments were served by courteous wait
ers, ana tne cioaK room was so systemati
cally arranged though a large amount of
wearing apparel was to be cared for not the
least confusion or mistake occurred. This
was accomplished through a system of
duplicate checks.
In conclusion it is a pleasure to note that
the first reception and ball given by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of
the Wyoming division proved such a graud
success. The organization is entitled to
the auspicious recognition received and in
return for the unprecedented attendance
a grand social time was given. The,
engineers took the whole bakery as royal
entertainers aud Tim Hkhalu is pleased
to be able to publish the names of those
comprising the various committees, which
