Forfeited Tholr Ball. Two men were arrested by the nigbtwatchinan on Wednesday night for celebrating their Christmas Joy In too boisterous a. manner. They had a lsrge ooneert- lna with whieh they gaily eanoledj Christmas and other airs Until they reached the corner of A and Front streets. Not having an ear for their delightful music, tho watchman made a rush at them and they landed in the city bastlle, where they whlled away the lonesome hours with many encores on the concertina. They gavo bond for their apearance next morn ing, but disappeared, leaving tho funds behind to help out the city ex chequer. Their names could not bo learned. Runs the Cook Book. Friends ot Fred Pasley, formerly of Marshfleld, stato that he Is manager of a famous cook book In San Francisco, which has a unique method of providing for good digestion for the Newlyweds ot California. The system is to watch tho papers for announcements of mariages, and before the event comes off tho couple are presented with a present In the shape of a cook book which will make pies and other stuff like mother used to make. Tho ad vertising In the book Is sustained by merchants who contribute so much per to the company of which Fred Is manager, for tho privilege of presenting their household ware to the couple starting out In life. Working on the Club Booms. Quite a crowd of workmen are en gaged ln putting the finishing touches to tho Mllllcoma Club rooms and they are already beginning to lndlcato what a handsome place this will bo when completed. There is consider able work to be finished yet and fix ings are not all ln place. The stair way to the rooms has not been con structed and there Is a possibility that tho quarters will not be leady for a Now Year's opening. Officers of the club aro anxious to have every thing in excellent shape for the open ing and unless the quarters are com pleted by next Wednesday, the open ing function wlll bo deferred a few days after tho commencement of tho now year. Ho Loves the Water. Doc. F. J. Hayes, the local optometrist, who at tends to Marshfleld's eyesight, started off for a trip in his launch this morn ing, but after leaving shore found that tho nut on tho end of the boat's shaft had como off with the result that tho screw refused to turn, causing him to return tg the shore and stay with the land lubbers un til the damage is repaired. Doc. loves to go out ln his boat when tho wild and foamy bilow is threatening to swamp his boat, when the spice of danger adds Interest to life and the skill of tho sailor rises suprenio to tho elements. Dr. and Mrs. Hayes spent tho worst part of Christmas day out in the launch aud had a thoroughly joyful and exciting scoot around the bay. Marooned nt Dorian. It Is stated by different Individuals who arrived ln the city by devious routes that tho passengers who started for Uose burg on Saturday last aro still ma rooned by tho flood in B.-ewster val ley. Christmas letters, cards and presents which were sont out to reach people on Christmas day may arrive about New Year's. Mail of tho same kind bound for Marshfleld may ar rive here about the same time. At present tho mall Is coming slowly a few bags being brought ln spas modically, while- tho bulk Is still ou rqute. Tho last report or ueorgo Balnes, who started for 'Frisco on Saturday to spend Christmas, is that ho was pitching horseshoes fi-Uh tho natives of Dorian to pass the time until the flood enables him to back up or go forward. Itnln Helps to Cement. Work on tho concroto building being erected by tho First Trust and Savings bank at tho corner of Broadway and A streets has been continued during tho rainy weather, and that structure Is assuming largo dlmonsions. The con tractors declare that wet weather la the best thing in tho world to mako tho concroto solid, because it runs Into a solid mass, whilo in dry weath er It is inclined to bo more easily separated. Consequently work on tills building has been nidhed along during tho rain, tho samo as work on. tlmbor buildings during flnu weather. Tho walls havo been put In position and tho concroto Is held In tho molds until It is thoroughly dry, whon tho completion of tho structure will bo rushed through in tlmo to finish it before spring.
