. SOCIETY.
Five Hundred Club Dinner-Dance.
A series of 1J games had been
Played by the 12 members of the "500"
club, with the understanding that the
six making the highest scores were to
dine the remaining six, it being tacitly
- ' " v cuh over
25 cents per plate. Following the re
past the electric theaters were to be
visited at the expense of the winners.
The highest scores were made bv
Mrs. H. C. Grady, Mrs. Jay Van Buren.
Mrs. G. E. McCullv. Mrs. w m nu
fcnkamp,,Mrs. M. B. Donohue and
Mrs. F. E, Moore.
As prearranged the guests met at
the home of Mrs. W. R. Jones on De
pot street, there to be met by the hos
tesses and escorted to the restaurant
and later to the theaters: They were
met with autos and whisked through
the streets, but the direction taken by
the autos were not wholly in keeping
with the plans arranged. The jour
ney ended at the W. H. Bohnenkamp
home on Second street, where the sur
prise so successfully carried out was
complete. An elaborate dinner-dance
had been prepared and there awaited
them. Screamingly original plac cards
were arranged, designating the, guest
by some prominent characteristic, and
with this "meagre" Information each
guest found his own place amid much
merriment.
The table decorations were very or
nate beautiful long-stemmed roses
and sprays of Ivy were sctatered on
the cloth with a truly artistic effect.
Dr. F. E. ; Moore presided as toast
master and the following responded:
"Nothing," Mrs. Fred Kiddle.
."Anything." Mrs. Grady.
"Everything," Mrs. Alllnson.
"Our Husbands," Mrs. Moore.
"Our Wives." Mr. Donohue. . !

McCulley, Bohnenkamp, Donohue,
Moore: Messrs and Mesdames Jones,
Alllnson, Fred Kiddle, Alkine, Gul

Moina Alkine.

AT TOE PLAYHOUSES.
' At the Soenkv
The entire bill at the Scenic is as
good as the average, but the head
liner, "The Power of Labor." Is with
out doubt one of the strongest pictures
ever shown in this city. The film is
a highly colored one and the story
deals with the reduction of wages in
one "of the largest Iron working mills
in the country. The Interior of the mill
is shown and the attempt of the su
perintendent to murder the mill own
er's son is so graphically told that the
audience Is held in breathless expect
ancy. There Is a delightful little love
story mingled with trie harsher events
dealing with the story. The Power
of Labor can only be appreciated when
seen.
At the Sherwood. .
The Increased attendance at the
Sherwood this week is evidence that
the present program Is a pleasing one.
The comic numbers are Just the sort
to bring forth a pleasant laugh and
the sentimental numbers have exactly
the right proportion of heat Interest
and romance to make them accepta
ble. The feature number is the Lion's
Bride. This Is an exceptionally beau
tiful film. Each picture. being prop,.
al iiuieu. vine costumes shown are
correct for the age, and the situations
are cleverly brought out The story is
the old stpry of two lovers and a vil
lain. -m t - ,r ( t
' KkU . ' ''C': "
The Pastime.
As usual there is about four times
a dime's worth at the Pastime agnin
this week. .. The pictures are the sort
well "calculated to hold the attention
of the audience, and sent them home
talking about the pleasures of an eve
ning spent at this popular resort.. The
colored number, Grotesque Figures, is
a set replete with changes and sur
prises. The set showing the various
drills of the Paris fire department is
educational as well as entertaining.
The songs are pleasing and taking the
entire program from start to finish
there is not a dull moment. , ;

Young: Man Hurt While Working on
Cesspool Windla.Hs.
iames Fltzpatrlck," lately of Michi
gan, sustained Bevere Injury today
when working on a cesspool near the
F. B. Currey residence on Pennsylva
nia avenue. Not alone was the young
man hurt, but Mr. Gavin, of this city,
had a narrow escape from falling
from the top to the bottom of a 22-
foot hole. The Injuries are painful
He was working with Mr. Gavin In
digging the cesspool and, when com
pleted, was hoisting Mr. Gavin out of
the hole with a windlass. Without
trouble Mr. Gavin was elevated to the
surface and at the Instant that he took
hold of the curbing, the crank on the
windlass split, forcing Fltzpatrlck to
reach for the splintered end in an awk
ward way. The result was that the
sudden jerk dislocated his right shoul
der. Had the accident happened a
moment before, Mr, Gavin would have
been precipitated a distance of 20
feet. Working with ono arm the
young man held the splintered wind
lass until his aged companion had
wormed his way to the surface and
safety.
ROLL CALL DAY.
At McthixTlst Sunday School Tomor

weeks flowers have been brought and
taken each Sunday to the La Grande
hospital, but a few weeks ago It was
decided to secure no less than 50 bou
quels for the Hot Lake sanatorium
Next Sunday Is Temperance Sunday
in all of the schools who use the In
ternHtlnnal !son system, and Mrs
Helen Harford, national lecturer of
the W. C. T. U., will be present and
