The General Yerdiet of Those Who Were in Attendance at the Ball Last Evening. a scene of splendor and happiness. No time in the history of our progres sive young city has their been a greater social event than that of the Engineers and Firemen's first annual ball last night. As to its success ask any of the five or six hundred guests that were present and we doubt if you will find one dissenting voice from the general verdict that it was grand. AH day long yesterday, from early mora till the shades of evening began to fall had the boys worked hard in decorating their lodge room and the op era house and that their work was neat.

tasty and unique the many pleased ex pressions of admiration and surprise were ample proof. Their lodge room in the Mitchell block, just newly furnished, was fitted up and tastily for a reception room and here those of their guests who did not care to dance, found ample amusement and entertainment in card playing and other games for which number of tables had been provided. An elegant upright piano also graced one corner of the room and those music ally inclined found in this entertainment provided for them. At Kemper's opera house, however, was where the boys "turned themselves loose" as it were in their lavish decora tive display. On the stage the front of an engine had been built and so perfectly that many at first glance thought that it was a "real live one." Upon examination, however, it was found to have been improvised for the occasion, but the illusion was almost a perfect one.

On the glass of the headlight which was sending its piercing glare the entire length of the spacious hall, standing out in bold relief were the figures "346," the number of the engineers' division, while on the disc at the head of the boiler was the number ot the firemen's lodge, "376." Surrounding this in large white letters was the sentence, "Our Brotherhoods." To the right of the stage was a large banner which bore the legend, ot Horton Division No. 340," the motto being "sobriety, truth, justice and morality." Upon the opposite side was a like banner with the inscription, of L. J. II. Kirk Lodge No.

376, protection, charity, sobriety and industry." Upon the stage artistically grouped were the different tools symbolic of their craft picks, shovels, oil cans, signal The footlights had been removed from the stage and in their stead was placed a row of red, white and green lanterns, alternating colors, which formed a beautiful border for the large stage picture. The auditorium of the opera house was festooned with the national colors ar ranged in a manner that was pleasant to gaze upon, while suspended from the ceiling near the center was a large chandelier formed of about twenty lanterns of different colors, and the whole presented a sight that will long be remembered by the guests, some six hundred or more. About 9 o'clock a reception was given in the room prepared for that purpose, and among those present our prowler noticed visitors from Trenton, St. Joseph, Topeka, Atchison, Fairhury, Belleville, and Beatrice. A very pleasant feature of the reception was the presentation to the brotiierhoods of a beautiful combination silk plush altar scarf, the handiwork of Mrs.

Harry Adams, accompanied by a few appropriate words from Engineer Ilardigan. After the reception a majority of those present adjourned to the opera house and at 9:30 o'clock the grand march was formed with Master Mechanic Kirk and lady leading. Such a crowd was there assembled! Imagine, if you can, dear reader, one hundred and thirteen couples in the march with probably twice that number who were there merely to look on, and you can gather some idea of the immense throng. The music was furnished by Pryor's band, of St. Joseph and was excellent.

It was soon demonstrated that the opera house was inadequate to accommodate all who wished to dance and it was announced that Nadean's orchestra had secured and that the new store room in the Mitchell building was open for dancing, and a goodly por tion of the merry-makers followed the. "trail of fire" made by the Japanese lanterns to that building. The program was a neat one of twenty-four dances and was thoroughly enjoyed by the devotees of Terpsichore. Supper was served at the Magic City at 11:30 and was a feast for hungry mortals, after which dancing continued till nearly 5 o'clock this morning. The members of the two brotherhoods labored hard to make their first annual ball a success and their efforts were not in vain.

Credit is due not to a few alone but each member is entitled to his share of the honors. The evening will long be remembered by those who were present as among the most pleasant ones. Ma3r the brotherhoods be successful in the great struggle through which they are now passing we know is the wish of all fair-minded people. EXTRA RUNS. Those of the engineers and firemen who had to go out on their "rims" last night, wore faces as long as your took it good naturedly.

however. All of thern oonld not lay oftl Messss. Wolf, Green, Gage, White and Turner, a jolly quintette frem Fairbury, came down.yesterday and were in attendance at the party last night. The smiling countenances of Trainmaster Agnew and wife, of Belleville, beamed upon their many friends last night. Some elegant costumes were worn by the ladies, and not a few of them wore diamond ornaments.

The corsage bouquet of one young lady visitor was divided equally between five admirers last night. Fireman Baldwin has the thanks of our prowler for favors extended in the way of information. Miss Dixie Wood, a popular a society leader of Troy was, in attendance at the german last night. Miss Anna Biack, agent for the Rock Island at Denton, was among the guests at the ball. The brotherhood boys made many new friends at their first annual last night.

The St, Joseph visitors were a merry crowd of young people. All the committees exerted themselves to the utmost last night. Sepir INTERIOR SCENE IN MctiHtf A Faithful Representative. The following letter, from Congressman Morril, to the editor of the Daily Register, shows the condition of affairs at Washington and fully illustrates that we have one of the most faithful representatives in Congress. As Major Morrill says, his private affairs would be benefitted by his return home, believes it his duty to the public to re main at his post, and proposes "to fight it out on that line" if it takes all year: Washington, 1 1.7.

Sept. 20. X. Whitaker, Horton 1 My Dear Sir: There are no indication by which we can determine with any certainty when Congress will ad journ. It is quite impossible and not improbable that it may continue in session during ihe most of Oct.

I have been "very much embarrassed at this condition of affairs, and have been some what in donbt as to just what iuy' duty was in the matter. Of course jdl my private interest would be advanced by immediate return to Kansas. On the other hand, I feel that it Is my duty I owe to the public to remain here at my post. No one can tell what changes a day may bring forth here. Those Members who are absent are liable to be called back at any moment, and it seems to ine that in the present condition of things I ought to remain here.

Very little is done in the house, but we find it neccessary to be promptty at each session, and everv spare moment out of the house is occupied in attending to department work and requests from the district. Scarcely a mail is received that doe not contain such request, and not a day passes that we do not have to go to the Departments to look after matters there. Under all these circumstances 1 feel that I ought to remain here. Yours Truly, E. N.

Morrill. Inquiries. We are letter. in receipt of the following Oneonta, N. Y.

Britton, ot Beatrice, has purchased the business and fixtures of the Bon Ton resturant for the sum of $350.00. The sale was made through Kemper Company. Mr. Britton is an old caterer and we predict will do well. The confidential agent of Sha.ld and Marshall, of Whiting, was in this city yesterday, looking for a suitable room in which to put the large stock they have at that plaee.

They desire to come to Horton and will come if they can get a suitable room. Fred. Hawkins, cheif clerk lor F. G. Wallace, left norton this morning for Hot Springs where he goes to be treated for inflamatory rheumatism." Fred has been a victim of this disease for a long time and we trust he will return entirely cured.

"Don't put us in the paper," said two young ladies to the prowler last night about 11 o'clock, as he met them skip ping for home. Of course he wouldn't give them away nor put them in the paper. If he did the latter he'd sure have to buy a new press. The oyster men have almost taken the town to-day. Kidder, representing the Wink Standard; E.

B. Wrightsman, clerk of Supt. Dunlap has arranged some music for the boys and they were fairly wild over it last night. Mr.

Wrightsman was made an honorary member last evening. The Misses Marie McDermott, Virgie Smith, Cora Angstad and Messrs. Max Robinson, Andy McCuaig and George Pierce made up a pleasant part' that took supper in Hiawatha Sunday even ing.

A celebrated optician says that chew ing gum has a harmful effect on the eyes The constant moving of the jaws effects the nerves that lead from the spi ne to the optic nerves, and strains the latter until they weaken. If "constant mov ing of the jaws" affected the optic nerves, half a dozen nion orators these parts wouM have been stone blind six months ago. A curious etymological phenomenon was observed Saturday bv a number of our people.

It was a thick and contin ued flight of butterflies. It might have been supposed that they were returning from the Priests of Pallas ball, but that thev were heaO.ed in the wrong direct ion. The flight was toward the south west, and continued for a number of honrs. Atchison Patriot. John Murphy was arrested last night, on a warrant sworn out by his wife for being intoxicated and destroying fnrni ture.

When the time come for his trial his wife begjed for his release, pai the costs that had already accrued, and John was allowed to go. We trust that with such a wife, who is worth her weight in gold, he will forswear all in toxicants and be a man. A Mrs. Mary Obrist, of Atchison, left this mundane sphere last Saturday night, to explore the mysteries ot an unknow world, chosing that most popular line for tire.d-oflife people, the strychnine route. She had been a resident of t-hi country but one year, having came her from Paris, France.

Dissatisfaction with the country is the only reason she gave for committing the rash deed. Postmaster Miller has returned from Arkansas and says he is satisfied to remain in Hoi'ton. He went down into the great apple orchard district for the purpose of investing, but he says property is worth about four dollars per pound, so he came back and will put his surplus cash in rtal estate in this city where it only cost two dollars per pound. He thinks property is cheaper in Horton than any other town of the same size in this section of the country. WTe hear it rumored that a party of our young people drove to niawatha last Sunday and thought they would play a joke on Probate Judge Dickason by asking for a permit to double up.

The laugh was turned on them, however, when Judge Dickason told them that fie could not issue a marriage license to children without consent of their parents. There was a box of cigars in it for us if we didn't give it away, but being too pure in heart to accept bribery, we could not do it you know. Invitations have been received in this city announcing the marriage of Ralph H. Tait, of Horton, to Miss Myrtilla A. Shannon, of Parsons, at the residence of the bride's parents in the latter place, on the 26th inst.

Mr. Tait is one among the many good railroad boys in Horton, being a machinist and employed in the Horton shops, ne is an excellent young man, held In high esteem by his associates and they will congratulate him in that hearty and substantial manner peculiar to the railroad boys. Of his bride we know nothing but our people will extend the hand of welcome and wish the happy pair the full apportionment of their share ot happiness. After a short wedding tour they will come to Horton and make this city their future home.

A letter from our young friend Will Bidgell, from Richmond, says that his brother had been burled when he ar rived home. The telegram sent him to Horton had been delayed in some man ner one day. The High School and public schools of Kichmond turned out in a body and attended the funeral of his bro ther Tom, who was a favorite with pupils and teachers alike. Will savs: "Mother is well nigh broken down and will take her on a trip to viBit relatives next week. I do not know just when I will be back to Horton." What Onr Neighbors Say.

Horton, September 21. Hor- ton's second anniversary celebration yesterday waB a success. Two years ago September 20, the first lot was sold and the first house started. This ntire plat was then cornfields and pastures enclosed by barbed ware and hedges. On the corner where now stands the loan company a three story building which cost $38,000 was two years ago a hedge fence twenty feet high.

On the oppo site corner where is now Kemper's opera house was the cornfield which two years ago yielded a splendid crop. In this cornfield of two years we have a teem ing, city of 5,000 living souls. Here also we have the largest car works west of the Miseisippi river. We have sis good an electric light plant as any city. We claim to bejthe best 2-year old town in America.

The trades display was grand. The merchants, mechanics and shops turned out and made as fine a pro cession as have ever been seen in this part of the state. The boiler department came out lettered "Horton Against the World At the barbecue every hungry man, woman and child were fed bounti fully. Cor. Topeka Capital, The celebration at Horton yesterday was a big anair.

Although the writer did not reach Horton in time to get any of the roast" he learned that all who desired ate to their fill. Whatever else may be said of Horton she never fails to draw a large crowed when she tries. Whiting 3fews. The celebration or the second anniversary of the city of Horton.

ex emplified in a striking manner the possibilities of Western push and enterprise, Two years ago there was not a single house upon the ground which is now occupied by a flourishing town with a population of 5,000 people, and possess ing all of the improvements and conven iences of a miniature city. The phe nomenal growth of Horton was due to the establishment at that place of large railroad shops, which are among the most extensive in the west. The trades display, which was one of the features of the celebration, showed a large di versity of business and industrial inter ests, and betokened the substantial pros perity of this young city, Kansas City Star. Xetawaka and vii-inity were for the most part at Horton Thursday assisting in the birthday party. The "magic city" was two years old on that day and crowds gathered from all sections of the surrounding country to help celebrate the event.

At about 11:30 the parade headed by the Horton K. of P. band was seen coming down the street. It consisted of the K. of P.

lodge, the fire department and a magnificent trade display. The immense crowd followed the procession to the barbecue grounds where hundreds of hungry peoi.le par- took of roasted meat ami bread. Judge W. D. Webb, of Atchison, addressed the people in the afternoon, after which the field sports took place followed by the base ball game.

The day was finished by a grand hop. Horton has grown wonderfully and it would be very difficult to convince anyone not acquainted with her history that two years ago the present site of Horton was a waving cornfield, but such is the fact. If we would endeavor to recite her many merits at length we would have little room left for news so we will not. Xetawaka Republican. FEOM TUESDAY'S DAILY.

Notes From Hiawatha.

8: F. Newlon, present county attor nej, has withdrawn trom the race for that office and the fight is now between Messrs. Stuart and Lacock, with a possible chance of a dark horse. Our Hiawatha neighbors have discovered that during the past dry spell while they have been suffering for water, the railroad company has been secretly using the rather limited supply. The business men are quite incensed though by many it is regarded as a joke.

We may look for the Democrat to cry out "down with monopoly" or something to that effect. A youth with a slide trombone takes the place of the Salvation Army on Piety Hill.
