One Of The Swellest Affairs
The entertainment tendered the ladles
of tho Kappa Sigma Kappa society by
their husbands- Monday evening in
Masonic hall was one of the swellest
affairs ever
The function opened with a banquet
of four courses served by the Dorcas so
ciety in the banquet room at eight
thirty This was a charming feature of
the affair the ladies spreading a fine
feast with the most elegant appoint
ments as to silver cut glass china and
napery obtainable in the city An im
mense boquet of large piuk and white
carnations formed a center decoration
and each of the ladies wore carnations
The ladies were beautifully gowned in
white and the gentlemen appeared in
evening attire
After the banquet dancing progressed
to the music of a four piece orchestra
until a seasonable hour
During tho evening punch was served
in a convenient nook by MissDollie Pen
nell
Those present were Mr and Mrs
F A Pennell Mr and Mrs H H

House and Contents Destroyed
Last Saturday afternoon about 430
the dwelling of Scott Odell in West Mc
Cook was entirely destroyed by fire
nothing being saved from the house
Mr Odell was at the store at the time
the fire occurred and Mrs Odell was
out driving consequently nothing but
the clothes they had on their persons
was saved from the home The fire de
partment made the run to that remote
part of the city but the fire had pro
gressed so far that nothing could be
done to save the house or contents As
there was no other property in near
proximity the fire naturally confined it
self to the dwelling house
The house was formerly the property J
of Chris Larsen and was valued at 600
upon which there was 500 insurance
The household goods were valued at be
tween 200 and 300 and upon these
there was no insurance hence a total
loss falls upon Mr Odell in this particu
lar
Nothing definite is known as to the
origin of the fire
Scott Odell feels very grateful for as
sistance and sympathy received in his
loss by fire and takes this means of ex
pressing his thanks to the citizens of the
city who came so nobly to his relief
