The ball given by the ladies, Wednesday evening, for.the ben- efit of the boys was a decided suc+ cess in every feature. Theattend- ance was the largest at any dance the past winter, More than fifty- five tickets were sold. Tho ladies showed artistic taste in the way they performed their duties as escort, etc. They kept their eyes open and saw that not one gentle- man wanted fora partner. In fact, there were no wall flewers on’ either side. Mrs. Dan Zink was floor manager and performed her duty in the manner of @ prof- fessional. The grand march began to form on the floor at nine o’clock-in which about forty-five couples participated. Music was furnished by our old stand-by, the Graves and Shipley orchestra. as caller, relieved by others at intervals during the evening. The dance was, as usual, well attended by Butte, Pony and other neighboring’ towns, and will no doubt be treasured in the mem- ory of the participants as one of the most pleasant sovial évents of the season. A> delizions lap supper was served about midnight. Tyndal Curran was the belle of the ball, and carried off the prize. The net receipts turned over to the treasurer of the ball team was $30:15. —_—_—_—_O_ Oo Minstrel Show. Things are booming in base- ball circles. The promise of the new management to run the team on business principles, and furnish clean, gentlemanly ball id to he made godd. The order has gone forth that there will be a strict accounting, open to public inspeo- tion, of all fands received or ex- pended; and that there will be no boozing on the team. Se—enthusiastie—over_the pros- pects of the team are the people, that_the musical and theatrical ar’ tists of the town have tendered their services in giving a minstrel show for the beriefit of the team. The money is to Be expended in building anew grand-stand. Such musical talent as Messrs. Butler, | Hammond, Curran, Black; Wil- kinson-and Misses Teresa and Lu- ella - Reed, Edwards, Kellogg, | Needham, Holloway,’ and other, stars that are being held under cover as a treat, will participate. Mrs. Harry Cutler will probably preside at the piano, with Tyndal Curran in charge of the musica part of the show. Joe Morris and Miss Holloway will have charge of -the funny end of the program. The end men are stars imported from Ireland. Immediately following the spec- jalties of the show, given by Mamie Schmidt, Mrs. France, the Needham—Lomax team and others, will follow a basket social, which is under the management of Margaret McClatchey and Jessie Goodrich. All social lights among the ladies, for miles around, wil] be expected’ to furnish baskets, which will be sold at auction. The. big show will be put on in money and hearty lafighs for the big show. ee ‘‘Mexican John” Dead. i—Rey. E. J. Stanley was called to Willow Creek last Saturday to officiate at the funeral of John Battees, commonly known as “Mexican John,’ who died at the home of Mr. John Walbert the 20th inst. John was an interesting character—a Mexican, with language somewhat broken, but ‘industrious, honest, honorable, kind hearted, generous, and well and favorably known in all that part of the country. Though blind and poor, yet his funeral was largely attended, and the services were solemn and impress- ive. The deceased came to this country in 1865,-lived for several | years in the home of Rev. L, By Statler with whom he was a favor- ite, and was about seventy years of. age. For the last six years Mr. Ernest of Silver Star acted}tarly in the future. } BUCKEYE BREEZES. Letter From a Waterloo Boy Sojourn- ing in Athens. March 30,—Today, Athens was the scene, as_well as the victim of one of the most severe storms ever known in the history of the city. The wind came from the southeast preceded by hail. and followed by rain. In the west end of the city, two héuses were blown from their foundations, whilo many others were wrecked. The Journal office on Main street was completely wrecked, and much of the machin- ery destroyed. Two large stacks of the brick plant were blown to the ground: two,big windows, in one of the main college. buildings, were completely torn out: trees twistedoff at thé base, and the city looked like a wreck. No person was injured, but if Easter is to be ushered in with such violence, we hope it will not come very regu- Aside from this, Ohio is all right, and a good place to live. The greatest differ- hoe I have noticed between Mon- tané and this state ig, that Montana is blessed with natural wind, and Ohio with natural gas.

I will take ca®e to put it all right the first opportunity ‘Y get.” The next Monday morning Spurgeon walked into the mayor's place of busi- ness and sald to him cheerfully, “I set that matter right yesterday, sir.” “What matter?” he inquired. “Why, about the angels’. pockets.” “What did you say?” “Oh, sir, I just told the people I was sorry to say that I had made a mis- take the last time I preacbed to them, but that I had met a gentleman,’ the mayor of Cambridge, who bad assured me tbat the angels had no pockets, so I must correct what I had said, as 1 did not want anybody to go away with a-false notion. about heaven, 1 would changed he would try to steal the feathers out of their wings!’—Lom!- letic Review.
