THE BARBECUE AND BALL.
An Immenso , Enthusiastic Crowd
Participate in the Affair.
Although but short and indiffei cut notifica
tion had been given of the affair , the atten
dance at the barbecue and ball held in this
cits * , Tuesday , was something great , while
enthusiasm ran high. The feast was spread
about noon , on the vacant lots in the rear of
the new bricks , two large beeves , loaves of
bread without number , baked beans without
measure , and cups of coffee without limit ,
helng served to assuage the hungry and thirs
ty multitude. After the banquet followed
the "dude parade , " speech-making , etc. , the
affair concluding in the evening with a free
ball in the opera house , which was largely
participated in , the commodious hall being
taxed to its utmost capacity. At a late hour
the people dispersed to their homes having ,
we feel safe in stating , had a fairly enjoyable
time , which might , however , have been con
siderably : more so , had arrangements been
more elaborate , and had more time been
taken in preparation.
In the laiufuutre of the classic Greek , "the
dude 1 paritdu was a dandy. "
The Indianola friends , flfty stroiiK1 . who ar
rived too iate for the barbecue , were gii'oii a
line I supper at the Commercial House , which
entirely | pacillcd and soothed their keen disap
pointment. '
One of the events of the afternoon which
caused ' kicut merriment was the wheelliij , ' or
.Moody Starbuck up Alain Avenue , by Frank
Vore. in pa > ment of an election nauer. A free
excursion ' ot the same kind was also enjoyed
by Joe Wilcox.

A Birthday Surprise.
Last Montlay evening was Air. J. E.
,
Kelley's birthday anniversar.y , and with the
connivance . of Airs. Kellty , his numerous
fiiends in the city took occasion to impress
that I act upon his mintl in a fashion altogether
felicitous 1 and indelible. So at an hour ap
pointed ] , a goodly company rcpaiit-d to the
Kelley ] mansion and surprising thegarnson ,
took 1 peaceable possession. An evening of
much ' genuine pleasure was whiled away
with r cards ami social intercourse. The
guests | were : AIu. and Mrs. J. C. Allen ,
C. F. Babcock. C. II. Boyle , AI. Eruian. J. B.

An Encouraging Success.
The bazar held in the Babcock brick , by
the ladies of the AI. E. church , Tuesday and
Wednesdas' , was a vers * successful affair ,
netting the indefatigable workers of the Alite
Society about $30 for their labor. The at
tendance was large both evenings. The
laities feel vers * grateful for the liberal p.it-
ronage received. The "infant showing" was
both large and lovels * , so the doting mothers
individually and severally asseverate.
A Fractured Arm.
While playing in one of the residences in
course of constuiction in tlie noitheastern
part of the cits * , Sunday morning , Alaster
Edtlie , younger son of E. J. Scott of The

A Newspaper Fails. ! s
Hastings. Neis. , Nov. 12. [ State Journal •
Fr-cciiilJ The w 01 st financial failure this city -
lias known for years occurred today when the a
Gaxette-Jourral company turned over the l
keys to a receiver. The principal creditors are c
' e Nebraska Loan and Trust company for the v
sum of Jf.TJ.OOO. The Gazette-Journal company -
was one of the largest printing houses in the
tnte. employing over seventi peopleand havr
ing several men on the road. The company ti
lias been runninsr behind for three years and t
tho Loan and Trust company has been carryi it i
ing them. Collections have een very bud this v
uramer and the patronng-o of the Ga/"tte-
Journal establishment at home has not been jj
ivluit it should have been. The stockholders r
xot tired of seeinsr the money sunk and cont
eluded to iet it drop. The business men of o
Hastings feel bad over the failure and the t
prospects ofcttintr ( the institution on its feet n
ire decidedly jrlwmiy. This leaves Hastings p
ivithout a daily paper and wipes out its largest s
nanufacturiiig establishment. Hastings peotl
lie will soon awaken to the fact that they have g
nade a great mistake in refusing to give this 11
inper and printing house a bettor support , s
Hie receiver will beirin to take an invoice tou
norrow morning. It is believed the stock. I f
nachinery and oulce fixtures will invoice | c
ibout $00,000. '
