E. church las night , the entertainment being given under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society. The program presented by the company was of the kind that would appeal to the general public. The selec turns wore not beyond their understand ing and yet they wore of a high grade of musical effort and were well appre oiated. Many who attended were of the opinion that it was the finest rnusi cal entertainment ever given in the city The solo work was highly pleasing , and the violin and vocal solos were especially well received. The novelty instruments were employed by the company wi'h effect and almost every number on the entire program was given an encore , tfone in the audience was heard to express regret of the time and money expended for the entertainment. One of the prettiest parties of [ the season was given yesterday after noon by Mrs. J. K. Boas , Mrs. T. E. Odiorne and Mrs. E. A. Bullock at the home of the latter on south Twelfth street. The house had been converted into a veritable St. Valentine's fairy land by the substitution 'of electric lights for that of daylight , while festoons teens of hearts of red and gold deco rated the rooms. The subdned light and ; ho dreamy mnsio of the harpist added to the effect , which was beauti ful and pleasing. The afternoon was spent by the ladies at six-hand euchre , place cards being of dainty heart-shaped > exes and progression indicated by > ieccs of heart shaped candies. Mrs. F. G. Salter was successful in winning first honors and Mrs. Streetor was awarded the consolation prize. An elegant supper was served at the close of the games.

A member of the committee said his morning that while they were not willing that Norfolk should lose a good liing because a few of the business men were grumpy and abusive , they did not repose to be a constant target for ubtiHo , and would drop the matter if they mot with mnoh moro of the fiuuo sort of argument. They oxprm n willingness to do n full share toward the entertainment of thin Htato event that will benefit the business men of Norfolk if it benefits anyone , but they are not no extremely anxious to have it hold here that they will endeavor to foroo It on the city. The committee ox- poets to complete its work soon and cither Invite the tournament to come or stay away. Ari'l.KS. At Braanch & Zuolow'fl old stand , at $3.7f > per barrel , or f 1.00 per bushel.

Elkhorn May Lose its Identity as a Result of Recent Action. According to General Manager Bid- well of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis souri Valley railroad , the name of that line will bo changed as a result of the recent absorption by the Chicago & Northwestern railway. Mr. Bidwoll has yet received absolutely no orders to this effect , nor any announcement of any kind relating to the change , but he expects such a move. "Tho name of the line probably will bo changed , " said Mr. Bidwill. "That moans the rolottoriug of the cars , now stationery , blanks , transportation evi dences , advertising. In fact , number less alternations will bo necessitated by the change of nnnio , I have no notion wh. 11 it will begin , nor have I been notified that it will take place , but it probably will bo douo. " Speculation is rampant in railroad circles and especially around Elkhorn headquarters as to wha ( the , name Twill bo. It is agreed that all evidences o' the present lengthy title will be abel ished. But tbo question is , will the now name to bo used bo "Tho North western System" or The Chicago & Northwestern Railway" or any other ol a number of possibilities. If the iden tity of the Elkhorn road is to bo entirely tirely lost in that of the parent stem the name probably will bo simply an * exten sion of the present "Chicago & North western Railway. " This was douo in the case of the Sioux City & Pacific , which when absorbed a short time ago merely lost its idontlty and became a part of the road , and has not since been known apart from it. But the Sioux Oitj & Pacifid was in no way differentiated from the rest of the road by location , while the Elkhorn is distinctly apart from the North western proper , being across the Mis souri river. Other railroad systems have invariably followed the plan of keeping their lines east and west of the Missouri separate both in name and in reality. There is the Chicago , Bur lington & Quincy east of the river and the B. & M. west. And when the Rock Island acquired its lines west of the river they wore named the "Chicago Rock Island & Pacific lines west of tbo Missouri river. " This title still obtains. Omaha Bee.
