The Y. .M. I. Iintltute"omrcr .
All event highly worthy of mention hap
pened at the Young aicn's institute parlors
last Tuesday ovenlng , the occasion being the
installation of ofllccrs for tlio year 1803. Tlio
ceremonies were very Impressive. The hall
was decorated In pleasing splendor , suitable
to the event. According to the necessary
ceremonial discipline tlio old ofllccrs marched
Into the hall and assumed their respective
places. A regular meeting was then called to
order , and business was taken up in
regular form. At the proper time President
aicGinnls delivered the gavel to the install
ing olllcer , llov. Father Carroll , who de
clared the ofllccs vacant and dismissed the
onicors of 181U. Then followed the installa
tion of the now ofllcora , who 'marched into
the hall , and formed In the center a liv
ing cross and anchor , they were duly placed
In their proper positions. Tlio following
are the oftlcers elect : President , George J.
Klephnor , by proxy : first vice president , F.
H. Kocsters : second vice president , Thomas
Swift ; medical examiner , Dr. Hcogh ; re
cording secretary , Thomas Noonan ; corresponding
pending secretary , W. H. Moran ; financial

Brady ; executive committee , James Kirk ,
U. P. aiulcahy , P. C. Heafey , Benjamin
aiclncrny and James Dugdalo.
At tlio conclusion of the Installation cere
monies ox-President aicGinuls was surprised
by being "caned" at the hands of W. H.
aiulcnhcy , who made the infliction , accom
panied by a neat and eloquent address , ex
pressive of the thanks and appreciation of
the members for tlio faithful manner hi
which air. aicGinnis fulfilled his duties as
president. "Tho instrument of torture" was a
finely-wrought , gold-beaded ebony cane , air
aicGinnis was deeply moved at being
the recipient of this token of appreciation
and responded with feeling andthanks in a
befitting address.
A surprise was also In store for Rov.
Father Carroll , the esteemed chaplain of the
institute , who was presented with a good-
sized purse as a token of regard and respect.
A well selected musical program was
presented , prominent in which air. Hughes
of Council Bluffs gave several very amusing
character sketches.
I'ovrrly Social.
A poverty social would hardly seem to hold
out any glittering promises of thorough en
joyment , but the one held at the residence of
aiiss Stella Singer , 2TU Howard street ,
Thursday evening , was quite the reverse of
quint ness which ono might expect. In fact ,
it was the jolliest sort of a function , because
people instead of putting on their best ' -bib
imil tucker" were the oldest garments they
had on hand , the ladies appearing in calico
gowns. Tht > following rather unique rules
and regulations obtained.
Chap. t. Every woman Icnms must wear a
kalakurdriis apron or Mimtlilii ekerly upro-
purato.
Chap. 2. All men must wear their ole elo *
