taking place in Deer Lodge. The
union was blessed with five children,
the eldest being now nine years of age.
Aside from his family Mr. Weaver leaves
an aged mother and a brother (James

The Firemen's
Masquerade
The masquerade ball given last Friday
night at Firemen's hall by Hope Lodge
No. 7, D. of H.. was the largest attended,
and it is safe to say the most highly en
joyable affair in the dancing line that
has taken place in Philipsbure this
season. At 8:30 the masquers began to
arrive and until 10:80 there was a con
tinual rush. There were in all about
fifty couples present and probably a
couple of hundred spectators. In fact
the hall 'was so crowded that it was
difficult at times to do much dancing.
There were but twenty-three couples in
the grand march, but it was neverthe
less very attractive and amusing. When
the hour for unmasking arrived almost
every masker was on the floor, and much
merriment ensued when the masks were
doffed and the disguised ones made
known to all. The supper served at the
Kaiser house by the ladies of the Degree
of Honor was one of the best ever served
in the city. Many compliments were re.
oeived by the ladies having charge of the
dining room. Taken altogether the mae.
auerade was a highly creditable pro.
action for a place the size of Philips.
burg, and coupled with the eeneral good
humor that seemed to prevail among all
those present, the affair was conceded a
dePded success, and if one failed to en
joy himself it was his own fault.
