An Enjoyable evening
Two hundred invited guests were present
On Friday evening a ball was given at the Arlington to two hundred invited guests. Among there present were Mr. Bockman Zaring a noted artist who several years ago won the first medal at the 'Academy of Art' in Paris and Dr. W. T. Selfridge, a cousin of Commodore Selfridge, of the U. S. Navy. The first hour of the evening was devoted to entertaining the children. A cake walk was given in which many endeavored to win the prizes. The first prize a box of candy, was won by Miss June Rollins, the second by Mr. Samuel Greenburg, a basket of ca ul-em-flowers. the third prize was a bottle after passing through the hands of Mr. Edwards Sparks, it became a temperance bottle. The cork was awarded to Mr. Wm. Tez; the bottle to Mr. Louis Duenweg, the emptiness of the bottle to the editor of the logansport cronicle. Ted Howe was awarded a lamp chimeny for remaining out of the contest. It was feared his formidable height would cast a shadow over the others and make them look small.

The music was furnished by the Terre Haute quarter composed of messrs Samuel Greenburg, Edward Sparks, C. Martin, H. Hedges and E. Bishop, a talented pianist. They will long be rememebered by those fortunate to meet them.


Exucrions of the Last week
On Last Sunday there were two excursion trains run in to the place one was from the Logansport under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. and was accompanied by the Odd Fellows and and the other was a large double header from Terr Haute. there were close to three thousand people here. In the afternoon the Odd Fellows band gave a fine concert in the stand at Vandalia Park. It Was A fairly good natured crowd, but little Scraping going on. The one fight at the depot park, in which the police were conspicouis for their absence, amounted to no more than a few blows. and a lot of blasphemous talk. At the time a considerable portion of the police force was busy making Arrests in the other end of town.

TUESDAY's S.S. EXCURSION
Three heavily loaded trains consistint in all of thrity-six coaches from Tipton, Elwood and Alecandria bearing a crowd of Sunday School excursionists arrived about on o'clcok Tuesday. They were accompanied by the Tipton city band and the Tipton catholic band. It was the largest crow of the season and took our hotel men by surprise. one train of ten coaches carried 1,175 people. They were packed in the isles on the steps and anywhere they cold get a hold. Eighteen hundred tickets were sold fron tipton alone. They all appeared to have a good time. The steam boats, boat house, merry-go-round, bath house, hotels and midway all did a good business.
