The members of the Degree of

ratio® for one of their famous Garni
val dances to be held Saturday, April
6th. These dances are noted for their
good times with the ladies making ar
rangements that carry through with
thoroughness and accuracy. "There
will be horns, caps, confetti and other
novelties which create so much mer

are making special efforts to make
this, the biggest dance of the season

A straight admission fee of 50 cents

than the price to a good show.
Posters announcing the brilliant
and gay Carnival dance are now in
the process of printing and will be
spread over the county for the per- ■
usai of all dance lovers and those
who enjoy a good time.
Tom Feeney, local character of this

Saturday evening while a dance was

in progress.
As Feeney was given a fine of $100
besides the jail sentence, it is con
sidered that he will have to remain
j n j ad 140 days, which would take up
the- greater share of the summer and
give him an opportunity to think over
his rash acts of the past, which have
brought him so much trouble.
Most of Feeney's trouble seems to
be caused from a desire to fight while
under the influence of liquor and the
jolt handed him by Judge Belanski
may change his conduct along this
line.
