SOCIETY.
A class of Sunday-school children of the Kel'oruu-d church met at the home of Sheriff Smith Friday evening and were pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Smith.
A s lrpnse party was given at the home of Miss Hertha Scott Friday evening. A large number of out-of-town people were present and enjoyed an excellent time. Several sleighing parties were out Friday evening enjoying probably the last snow of the season. A birthday party was given at the residence of Mrs. Anna llaslanger Saturday evening. The gathering was in honor of the Uth birthday of Mrs. llas-
langcr, and a large number were present to wish her a succession of birthdas. At the residence of Mrs. Chas. Hughes last Monday evening occurred an interesting and enjoyable party. Mis Krina Willings entertained very pleasantly Friday evening at the home of her sister, Mrs. C F. Jilain. on South Michigan street. The affair was given in honor f Mr. Claude Fierce, of Hagerstown, Indiana, who was a guest in the city. The parlors were cleared and the time was spent in dancing to some very good impromptu music furnished by Mr. Jlert Harris and Miss Daisy 1. F.owell the former playing a mandolin and the latter the piano. Delicious refreshments wert- served at 1' o'clock. Among those present were; .Mrsr."

In The Toil. Since our mentioning the formation of a Bachelors club iu Plymouth, there has been considerable nneasinesss a inong some of the younger men who have recently avowed their intentions to keep aloof of troui the wiles of the fairer sex. It seems that one of the members had

That Itiill l ight. Down on the borders between the I'nited States and Mexico there are lined up hundreds of soldiers upon both sides of the line to prevent a light between Fitzsimmons and Malier. This subject has been the topic of conversation for several days, and the papers have been Tilled with matter pertaining to it. Especially has this been more noticeable by the position taken by the governor of Mexico. Sunday the pugilists were graciously permitted to cross the borders and witness one of the popular sports of Mexico a bull light. The governor was the director of ceremonies, and the Mexicans pronounced it a howling success. It is said that the Americans who went to witness the butchery were unable to view the bloody work, and left before it was completed. The result surely might cause intelligent people to feel like entering a protest. The result of the great event was: Four bulls killfd. Four horses mangled. The wounded two horses gored by the bull' horns; two picadors badly hurt. They are welcome to their sport, if that is what it is called, but we would prefer the prize light as seen in the United States.
Sign of Spring. Although the weather has settled down to a severe cold snap, yet the indications that spring is near at hand are numerous. Jt is said that Ceorgo Wolford and Frank Lamson, consider the horse llesli they each own has no tqual. Their confidence in the ability of their seperate chargers, has led to considerable controversy, and can be settled definitely upon the race track. We learn tint these gentlemen have at last come to an understanding, and the necessary "dough" put up to insure an exciting race. George Wolford has o much confidence in his steed that he

AFTER THE BATTLE. Niinioiuiv lit'poits I lout in:; Around Kcu:oli:ii; tin Nvovi l:ml lioot 111;;. Kver since the recent shooting vi lohn Swoverland, numerous reports regarding some of the various matters that led up to the shooting have been aired. One of the stories that is being irculated in and around liourbon, is to ellect that some one who was a bitter enemy to the deceased farmer, had through some skillful manipulation un
known to the old man or his friends,!
gained possession of the revolver used by the old man on the day of the shooting, and extracted the bullets from it, thus making it an impossibility for him to injure Stewart. The truth of this accusation may be as much as in the following report: Our informant states that it is rumored that a lefter was received a short time ago by Samuel Stewart, in which was enclosed a live dollar bill. It also contained, ;says Dame Kuinor, an expression of sympathy for the prisoner. A reporter of Tin: Imh.pk.ndkn r traced the latter report sufficiently to iearn from Stewirt that there is nothing ni It. The probabilities are that the former report is about as authentic.

the south side are entering their protests regarding school facilities, there comes another circumstance from residents on the West side that needs attending to. There have been on previous occasions remonstrances entered against the blocking of sidewalks and streets by railway trains. Kspecially has this been complained of the L. K. & W. 11. Ii. This trouble has been noticeable for some time, and attention has been called to this important matter on more than one occasion. The principal time when this blockading is most noticeable is the noon hour, and some days until ltfo. Children going home from school have a great many times waited fifteen or twenty minutes for an opportunity to cross the track to get to their homes, and on many occasions they meet the same obstruction when returning to school; and it has been observed that many times children take great risks in crossing the tracks of the L. K. : YY to get to the school house. This state of atTairs may continue for some time and no one be injured, and yet a horrible death might occur any day, and not only the railroad, but our citv council receive the blame.

allowed by law (as has been done in j some cities for schools and no one com-; plained) but if ever such a step is taken j we think that in erecting necessary school buildings "the end would justify j the means," and the people of this city ; would not complain. We are iniormeil j there are numerous firms of brokeisj yho will take school bonds not with-j standing the indebtedness is beyond the j allowable limit, banking solely on the !
proposition that no city and rarely a citizen will ever attempt to repudiate such a debt.
We believe that every possible effort j ought to be made and every resourse j strained to meet this necessity and that (
the action 01 the council ought to be carefullv reconsidered. X. L. ('. Oi:i:.

The 1'rohU'in Soltl. At Jreen Iiay, Wis., they have settled the tramp nuisance, and there is not a vagrant in the county. This has been brought about by the erection of a work house. Although the institution has been in operation about two months it is already evident the entire cost of the grounds, the erection of buildings, and the salary of the superintendent for the first twelve months, which covers all expenses of maintaining the workhouse and caring for prisoners, will not exceed the sum paid by the county last year merely for the keeping.alone, of tramps confined in the county jail. Inmates of the workhouse are comfortably housed, well fed and humanely treated, but one term is enough, and if a discharged prisoner can avoid it he will never return to the reformatory. The institution was opened on Dec. 3, and since that time fiftyeight persons have been committed thereto for various offenses punishable by workhouse terms. Of this number forty-six were vagrants, and of these all but three were sent to the institution the first four weeks after it was occupied. In January but three tramps were arrested in the county and committed to the institution, while in .Iannary of last year t he average daily number of vag-ants serving sentences in the county jail was l(j:i.
