HURLEY, SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JANUARY MASQUE BALL The eighteenth annual masqued ball given by the Hurley Rebekah Lodge was put on last Thursday evening. This masque ball is considered the social event of the season in Hurley and all of them have beeu successes both socially and financially, thus reflecting much credit on the lodge and on the committees having them in charge. The one held last Thursday night was perhaps the most brilliantly successful of any event ever staged in Hurley. From 8 o'clock until 12 the floor was covered by a jolly crowd, in-the most fantastic garb imaginable courtiers danced with negresses, staid clerical looking gentlemen made ardent love to western girls and ballot dancers,and the devil walzed with the nun. The prizes were awarded to Laura Lak ings, impersonating a negress and Joe Coughlin the French chef. Following the unmasking, was supper superintended by Mrs. D. C. Ward, which is'a guarantee in itself that everything was satisfactory. The balance of the evening—or rather morning was spent in dancing andSraerry making. The music- furnished by the Buker Brothers and Miss Irene Graves was excellent and much appreciated. Everyone present enjoyed them selves to the limit and much credit is due*those in charge for the har monious success of the affair.

The house of repre sentatives chose C. A. Christopher Son of Minnehaha County for speak er and the senate elected Sen. Amsden president protem. The balance of this week will be needed for arrangements of com mittees, clerk appointments, etc,,— then the flood—its a mighty poor legislator that has not already drafted three or four bills for im mediate introduction. It is to be hoped that fewer and broader bills will be passed and that the last week rush can be done away with by hard work in the proceeding weeks of the session.
