The scene Prlday night In the ball room and the reception hall of the Hoyal Arcanum , when the second solreo of the Monday Musical club took place , was an uncommonly pretty one.

The young men gave the dinner to the C. B.

The Hamilton Whist club was entertained last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Wallace Sheparil on Park avenue. The Evening Whist club met with Mr. and Mrs. Lougee last week.

Frank Brlnsmald entertained In a very charming manner n number of friend * last Monday evening. The Chrysanthemum ! ) held n private mat ing Monday evening In the "sky parlors" of George S. Wright , and we fear too much responsibility Is resting < jn the shoulders of "Lord Jorg antl Ynke , " and If their cares accumulate In the future ns In the past , iticy will have to seek a healthier and higher "climb. " Guests to Wio number of twenty were roy ally entertained by Mrs. U. Brown and Mrs. McGuIre lost evening at the- home of the former , 298 Lincoln avenue , and all enjoyed n lovely time.

Wright last Thursday morning. winHI : DID TIII : icn CKKAM no ? y Hint Looked Clear ill Klr.st IH .More Than Cvcr Muddled. It all started In n joke , got Into the * courts , damage suits and counter claims nre coming up nnd there Is no telling where ! t will stop. A gallon of Ice cream was ordered by telephone - phone the other night from C. B. Randlctt to be sent , to the residence of n family where some social event was going on. When the delivery wagon arrived nt the house two young men were on hand and relieved the driver of the trouble of carrying the bucket of cream Into the house. But the young men did not deliver the delicacy at once. Instead they carried the pall away to n quiet corner and ate as much of Its contents as they could carry and left the balance on the door step of the family that had ordered the refreshment. That was all right ns far as it went and the joke was supposed to be on the guests , but It wasn't. Some of the young women in terested In the cream part of the event saw the young men and claimed to have identified them as George S. Wright and Thomas Met- calf , two prominent young citizens and so ciety men. A suit was commenced In Jus tice Vlcn's court for the value of the gallon of Ice cream , $1.50. But the boys were not to be brought Into disrepute that way and they immediately employed legal talent to defend them and since then the justice has been busy filing suits for damages , libel , slander and everything with a dangerous name that Is known to the array of legal minds who have charge of the case. The answer of Thomas -Metcalf and George Wright was filed with Justice Vlen yester day afternoon and Is formidable enough to furnish foundation for years of litigation. The second count of the ansner Is as fol lows : ' . , hs ! defendant complains of the plain tiff In this suit , C. B. Handlett , for that , whereas the said plaintiff knew that , this defendant was a true and Honest subject of this realm and as such has' a'.ways con ducted himself , anil until the committing of such grievance hereinafter mentioned was always reputed to be a person of good fame nnd credit ana hath never been guilty , nor , until the committing of earn grievance , suspected to have been guilty of larceny of ice cream or any such commodity or any other such crime ; by- means of which said premises he , the said defendant , before the committing of said grievance , hail deservedly obtained the good opinion of nil his neighbors and nil other persons by whom he was known , and rr.oro particularly the female residents of Council Bluffs , Iowa , ana Omaha , Ne braska. And , whereas , before the commit ting of said grievance and at the time of the committing- thereof the said plaintiff , so this defendant Is Informed ana verily believes , had , through his own negligence , lost one certain quantity of a certain com modity commonly sold ' , by the said plaintiff In connection with his business In said city of Council Bluffs , to wit : One gallon of Ice cream , he , the paid plaintiff , being- then and there engaged In the Ice cream busi ness , among others in the city of Council Bluffs , county of Pottawattnmle , state of lown , said certain gallon of Ice cream being of the value , as alleged by the Bald C. B. Rnndlctt , dealer therein ns aforesaid , of one dollar and fifty cents lawful money of the United States of America ; and It being- well known to this plaintiff that this de fendant hail no connection whatever with the loss of said ! Ice cream , yet. notwith standing , the sold plaintiff , well knowing the premises , but greatly envying the happy condition of this defendant , and contriving wickedly and maliciously mtendlng- In jure this defendant In his said good fame and credit and to bring him Into public scandal. Infamy and disgrace , nnd to cause It to bo suspected and be'lPved that this defendant had been guilty of the wholesale larceny of the said gallon of ice cream , na aforesaid , heretofore , to wit , on the 2Sth day of February , In the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and ninety-fix , falsely , wickedly and maliciously did compose and publish nnd cause and prepare to be pub- liuhed of and concerning this defendant and of and concerning the loss of said Ice cream , that Is to bay , that he , tVe said defendant , did wilfully and felonlouslv steal , take and carry away one * certain pnllon of Ice cream of the property of plaintiff , nnd of the value' of one dollar nnd llfty cents , lawful money of the United States of America , then and there meaning that this defendant was 11 common thief nnd not entitled to the re- Fpect or confidence of anv decent citizen of this community and vicinity. By the means of which said prlevaneo he , this said defendant.- had been and | grcat'.y Injured In his Fa Id good fame and credit , and brought Into public pcandnl , infamy and disgrace In FO much that divers good nnd wortliv citizens of this realm have , by ren- son of the committing of said grievance , strongly suspected and believed , and Mill do strongly furpect and believe , this de fendant to be a common thief nnd guilty of wholesale larceny of it bucket of lee cream , nnd have , by reason of the committing tingof slid grievance , from henceforth hitherto wholly refused to have any trans actions or acquaintance with this defcnd- nnt as they otherwise would have done , and that this defendant , by reason thereof , hath Buffered great mental pain nnd anguish and has been greatly lacerated nnd wounded In bli feellntrs anil him suffered exceedingly from nervous prostration to such an extent nnd degree that hl health ha ? been greatly Impaired nnd his life Imperiled , nil to the front damage of this defendant In the sum of $85. Mr. Ramllett is determined to collect tlm ypjue of that gallon of Ice cream If It cos'n c. farm to do It. Society Is being divided Into the Handlett nnd Wrlght-Metcalf fac tions nnd the fight Is on , CriiNh nt tin * Ilnliniicy. TIiere was another crush at the New Dohany theater last evening. The jam at thu box ofllce and the door was so great as to seriously Interfere with the sale of tickets and the udmlfslon of the crowd. It was necessary to delay the raising of the curtain for ten minutes. "Pawn Ticket No. 210" was the play , and It roomed to catch the crowd. The matlneo yesterday afternoon also packed the bouse , and with ono exception was the" largest matlneo crowd that has ever rejolrrd the heart of Manager Alton. The Woodwards have played a two weeks' engagement to houses packed to the doors every night , Tills unexampled success has Induced Manager Alton to extend their engagement ? another week.

HOT HOURS OF A SHORT CAMPAIGN I.cnilor * on Ilolli AnsloiiN mill I'ullliiK In Tlivlr Hi-Mi Mckn itltli HoorlinckN mill Other nlvalg In the political arena have got to the point of accusing each other of corrupt practices In the preparation for the battle of ballots that jvlll be waged on Monday. The democrats came out with the chargp that the enemy was raising n corruption fund among the offlco holders and profilers from patronage , and the republicans reply to the charge with the statement that the demo crats have already raised n boodle fund and that the use of It must be offset by some means. The tight Is getting decidedly warm , A very thorough canvass ot the town has been made and absentees arc In big demand. Every resident voter who Is absent from the city has been ordered home , and noses are being counted with a carefulness that Is guaranty sufficient that both sides realize that the contest Is to bo a close one. The streets were thronged yesterday by workers from both political camps and Intense activ ity lias prevailed for several days. The can didates for both parties are \\orklng pretty wsll together , but It Is getting so close that there are Indications that each man will make a 1mfile on his own account during the few .hours that Intervene between this and the opening of the poll * . There has been a good deal ot talk about the use of money In buying the floating vote on Monday , but the chances are that there will be less effort In this line than has been expected. In the nrst place money Is scarce , and In the second place there will be some hesitancy about using any such fund when the facts of a certain meeting that was held yesterday become known. A number of prominent citizens who have not been In the habit of taking ver > active part In the local political lights held a meeting and decided to adopt methods that will make the use of boodle unprofitable at the polls. While facts of the meeting are rather mea ger , It Is known that men were delegated to watch the proceedings In every voting precinct In the city , and any attempt ton - fluoncc voters by money will lead to arrests and vigorous prosecutions. The movers In this plan claim to have information which warrants them In .taking radical steps In the , matter , and tl cy promise that there will' bo no favoritism shown In case of a violation of the law. d n 'Hold ' Safe. A sneak thief made a successful raid upon the money drawer at the Lower hotel last evening , and succeeded In getting cvery- th.'ing there wasl In Islght. The amount stolen has not been made public , but It is said to have been considerable. Detective Murphy and Chief Scanlan got on the track of the thief last night and followed him to Omaha. The officers caught their man and returned with him at 11 o'clock last night. When locked up ho gave the name of John Groonleaf. _ School OrrlicMtrn Formed.

Captain Hubbard rays ( hero Is but llttlo prospect for the passage of n manufac turers' bill by the present session of the legislature. The extreme prohibitionists are very sere over the defeat of the rcsubmls- tilon measure and ulll oppose any effort to pass a bill to allow the manufacture of liquor In Iowa and some of them will even go so far as to attempt to defeat other legislation In order to carry their point. The vote on the resubmlsslon showed such a slight ma jority against the measure that It Is not thought probable that a mnnufactutcrs' bill would make nny great headway.

Meeker was convicted at the last term of the federal court and > sentenced to 100 days Im prisonment and to pay n fine of $200 , with costs of prosecution. The case was not a very serious one , and the sentence was sus pended pending good behavior upon the prom ise of Meeker to pay the costs. This he neglected to do , and a mittimus was Issued nnd he was brought Into Commissioner Steadman's office. Ho brought with him money enough to pay the greater portion of the fine and begged most earnestly that it might be taken nnd he be permitted to re turn home and ralso the remainder. The commissioner doubted his authority to grant the request , and the old man was obliged to go to pall , pending a decision of the ques tion by Julge Woolson. IltiHc V. M or urn ii Win * III * Cnsc.
