Now Year's Ball.
For a good many years dancing
hns been otic of the most popular
amusements of this city and each
season a number of dances have
been given by various organiza
lions. Nearly' all or these have
been successes, both socially and
financially, but it remained for the
most successful ball ever given in
any city in Western Nebraska to
take place in this city New Year's
eve, under the auspices of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men.
The B. of L. F. is one of the oldest
local organizations and their an
nual ball has long been a pleas
ant feature ot the winter season.
Twenty-two years ago this order
gave their first annual ball which
proved a decided success, and since
then every year, with the exception
of last year, when their anuual ball
did not occur owing to the small
pox scare, the order has given the
ball at which the old year was
was danced out and the new year
danced in. In these dances their
motto has been "Improvement"
and each year the ball has been
better and better until this year
their New Year's ball surpassed
any that has ever been given by
any local organization.
The decorations were beautiful,
the music perfect and the floor in
excellent condition, the three quali
tications necessary for a successful
dance, and all present were. unani
mous in their praises. Never be
fore, since the opera house was
built, has it been decorated for any
occasion in a manner that could
compare with this. Two arches,
one at the end of the gallery and
the other near the center,
(-panned the hall, and these were
but a back ground for numbers of
incandescent lights, with delicately
tinted pink globes. From arch to
arch, thence down to the gallery
and to the stage, bunting in the
colors of the order was draped,
giving the appearance of a large
canopy, while the gallery was also
decorated in bunting. The stage
was decorated in a very striking
manner, the centerpiece being a
a large stand decorated in flags
and bearing the letters B, ot L. F,
in pink lights against a white back
ground. To either side of this
were slacked scoop shovels as fit
ting emblems ot the "Knights ot
the Shovel." A number of lanterns
with colored globes also added to
the app arauce of the stage. About
150 incandescent lights were used
in the decorations and the appear
ance of the hall was a surprise to
every, one, bringing forth many
compliments for the decorators.
At nine o'clock the orchestra
played the opening piece, a grand
march which was led by Master of
Ceremonies J. N. Baker and wile
and was participated in by a unus
ually large number ot dancers.
At twelve o'clock in the midst of
a waltz, the lights were suddenly
turned out, much to the dismay of
the dancerp, but the darkness only
lasted long enough for a member of
the dance committee to wish ali
a happy new year after which the
lights were turned on and the
dance proceeded, this being a novel
way of announcing the arriyal of
the new year. An hour's intermis
sion at midnight was allowed and
most of the dancers proceeded to
the Vienna where supper was
served, alter which dancing was
resumed until -wee sma' hours ot
morning."
The dance was a success both
socially and financially and we
heartily congratulate the boys
upon the results of their efforts
and hope that they will give
many more New Year's balls as
successful as this one.

Victor Lund, who has br-cn in
the custody of the sheriff here for
two or three weeks, seemed to tire
of his company, board or some
thing else and Monday evening
after supper while Mr. Neumann,
who waB looking after him, was
letting him warm his Bliina around
the hotel office stove, he quietly
walked out and has not been heard
of since, It would sconi that it
is useless to arrest a man and put
him in jail here because we have
never been able to keep a man until
time for his trial. Chappell Regis
ter. The board of County Com
missioners have hired expert ac
countant II. S. Wiggins, ot Lin
coln, to check up the books of the
two republican county officers,
Messrs. E. A. Winslow and E. M.
Scarlc, Jr., clerk and treasurer re
spectively for the past fpur years.
Mr. Wiggins receives $7.50 a day
and expenses for his work. He is
now employed on the clerk's books
and hopes to finish with them in a
couple of weeks. Neither of the
officers are in the least worried
over the expert's presence, as they
have dcalthoncstly with the county
and hence have no cauc to fear
his report, though his investiga
tion will come a little high to the
tax payer. Ogalalla Argu.
An effort is on foot to secure the
erection of a stock dipping tank in
Sutherland. They propose to
utilize the boiler and pump of the
separator station for that purpose.
Con-lit innal permission lia been
secured from the Beatrice Cream
ery Co. to make use of th boiler
tor these purposes and the local
company will probably give their
consent. The erection and equip
ment ot the plant will probably
commence this week and will
phortly be in operation. There are
a number of cattlemen interested
in this project, and nearly all the
owners ot cattle find it necessary
to use some means to eradicate the
mange or Texas itch which ih
spreading among the herds.
