The first annual at home by the social
committee of the T. M. C. A. at their
building New Years night, and was at
tended by almost six hundred guests.
The affair was in charge of the social
committee, the chairman being Dr. N.
Matzen. The lobby and main floor were
in charge of Messrs. Bert J. Galley and
L. A. Carnahan, and they were assisted
in the receiving line by Mr. and Mrs. J.
D. Stires, Dr. and Mrs. W. 8. Evans and
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Boyd. The punch
bowl was presided over by the Misses
Bucher, Gray, Lubker, Galley, Echols
and WoMley, and the music was render
ed by Miss Pohl and Messrs. Clark and
Boettcber. The dormitory floor was in
charge of Frank E. Wells and the
program consisted of vocal solos by Mrs.
M. G. Bower and Miss Weeks, instru
mental solos by Miss Fricke, and read
ing from Riley by Mrs. D. Burr Jones.
For the music on tbis floor the Foster
Bros. Piano company furnished a very
ine instrument. The gymnasium was
under the supervision of Messrs. O. N
Olseen and O. H. Walters, and consisted
of some very good work on the horizon
tal bars by Messrs. Ernest Gassman and
F. C. Laurie. In addition to this there
was a rope climbing contest, potato race,
wheel-barrow race and a pie eating con
test by the younger boys. Both the
program in the gymnasium and on the
dormitory floor were given twice in
order that all might have an opportunity
of enjoying them. In the basement
Messrs Lee Rollin and Ed Ragatz were
the obliging gentlemen who were re
sponsible for that portion of the build
ing. 8wimming exhibitions in the pool
were given during the evening by a
number of the association swimmers.
In the contests and match games in the
game room, E. G. Brown won the bil
liard match with L. W. Weaver second.
In the pool gameSohmocker and Wilson

The Columbus ladies who went to
Norfolk last Thursday to attend the
house party given by Mrs. G. A. Young
of that city over New Years, were
Mesdamee E. H. Chambers, 0. D. Evans,
CA. Allenburger. P. J. Hart, H. A.
Clarke and H. B. Robinson. The fol
io ring afternoon the visiting ladies were
entertained at a mnsicale and the same
evening the hostess gave a dance in
honor of her guests. All of the guests,
except M jsdames Pollock and Evans,
returned home Saturday, and Messrs.
Pollock and Evans went to Norfolk Sat
urday, where they were guests of Dr.
and Mrs. Young over Sunday. The fol
lowing from the Norfolk News tells of a
olever joke played on the party by one
of the ladies on the way to Norfolk:
Mrs. H. B. Robinson of Columbus
played the stellar role in a clever farce
which completely "took in" a half dozen
Columbus ladies enroute to Norfolk
New Year's eve. Mrs. Robinson tele
phoned the ladies, who bad planned
coming to a house party, given by Mrs
Young at the hospital, tbat she was un
able at the last moment to come. Her
friends came without her. At the station
the Platte county sheriff placed an in
sane woman on the train. She was
heavily veiled and quite demented. The
sheriff placed the patient in custody of
the conductor, asked him to see that she
did not get off the train before reaching
Norfolk, and to place ber in a cab. At
each station the woman made a bee-line
for the door and tried to leave the train.
The house party ladies were frightened
at her. At tbe destination in Norfolk the
conductor placed the patient in a cab
bound for the hospital. The other six
ladies got into the same cab, by chance.
At the door of tbe hospital tbe woman
threw off her veil and gave her friends
the laugh.
Monday of this week firee were started
under tbe boilers at the new electric
light plant, and Tuesday tbe engines
were started and tried out. The engines
are by far the largest in the city and
their combined capacity is 600 horse
power. They are automatic in many
ways and their oiling devices required
twenty-five gallons of lubricating oil to
fill them the first time. The work of
cutting over from the old to the new
plant will be started this week, and as
soon aa everything is running smoothly
the new plant will be given tbe load.
There are quite a number of power users
connected up already, the largest being
the new Hord elevator. In a short
time the Columbus Cream Company will
also get their power from tbe plant,
when their new motors are installed.
This institution will require about seventy-five
horse power, the same as the
Hord elevator.
The extreme cold weathor of Tuesday
prevented many from attending the
opening session of tbe Farmers' Insti
tute, which is being held in the Y. M.
GL A. building. The program for the
afternoon, with the exception of Miss
Kaufman's talk on When to Cook and
How to Cook," was postponed until
later The evening session was given up
on account of the weather. Those in
charge of the building saw to it that
everything was arranged for the com
fort and convenience of those in attend-
i aaoe, aau mmj were suo given rree
