About 250 ladies and gentlemen were
present at the Woodmen and Work
men annual masquerade ball last even

o'clock, when the throng began to dis
perse. The ball was a complete social
and financial success. The prizes were
won as follows : Gentlemen's first prize,
a handsome oak rocking chair, was won
by Messrs. W. H. Vanbibber, M. Han
sen, W. Norman, Chas. Nielsen, and J.
Chrisman, dressed alike as clowns, and
representing the Workmen and Wood
uien. As the rocking chair cannot be
divided and retain its intrinsic value,
the award committee have about de
cided to give it to the first one of th'
five who gets married. The second gen
tlemen'a prize, Japanese leather cuff and
collar boxes, was won by Henry Har

two buildings. The central epace of
tbe first floor of the new building will
be taken np with long counters behind
which will be shelving. The eame
space on the second floor will be open,
surrounded with a railing, and a sky
light from the top will allow plenty of
light for both floors.
This new building will be the most
decided improvement since the great
fire. The increase of bnsiness and press
for room demanded the move, and the
want is to be supplied in tbe most lib

.Colonel Menus Dead.
A telegram to the Oregonian from
Salt Lake, dated Feb. 12th, states that
Colonel E. W. Neviua, formerly of The
Dalles, was found dead at that place.
Heart disease was supposed to have
been the cause of his death. Col. Ne
vim left La -Grande about rix months
ago. He leaves a family of a wife and
two children, who are now residing in
La Grande.
Col. Nevius was a war veteran and re
sided several years in Wallowa county,
after which he' removed to The Dalles,
where he officiated for. a long time as
colonel of the Third Regiment, O. N. G.
Two years ago he was engaged . in cam
paign work for the Republican party.
Tbe Clever learn.
The Gillam acrobatic dancers and
Gillam
sketch artists are as clever a team as ever
appeared in La Crosse. Their work was
thoroughly appreciated by the large
audience. Miss Bessie, singing of the
Pleasures of Paradise Alley, was the
best done in this city by any show com
pany. Harry Gilliam, "Song Move On"
brought down the gallery. It was after
repeated encores that the audience let
them go. The entire company is a good
one, and the Georgia University Grad
uates are as good a colored company as
is traveling. La Crosse Daily Prees,

'Will Repeat tbe Entertainment.
A large number of children, and a con
siderable sprinkling of older folks as
well, were .amused, instructed and en.
tertained at the M. E. church last even
ing by "Sanders' Wonderland." The
grandeur of nature is most realistically
produced on a screen, complete in detail
and coloring. Next to a personal visit
to Yellowbtone National Park, with its
bublime canyons and waterfalls, its won
derful geysers and glacial relics, a last
ing impression can be better gained by
booking at the immense pictures fifteen
feet square that are so accurately repro
duced on a plain muslin surface. Some
Ecenes are shown as they appear at Bun
set, at noon day and at moonlight, a
very unusual and sublime sight. .
A glimpse of tonight's entertainment
was given laet evening by showing a few
scenes from Malaeia, including natural
Ecenery, flora and fauna, "queer build
ings, and queer inhabitants of India,
Malay, China and Japan. These are of
intense interest and have been taken
from life at considerable cost. Comic
pictures and songs at intervals enliven
tbe interest. Laet night the words and
music of "What a Friend We Have in
Jesus" were enlarged to occupy the
whole of the great ecreen. The notes
were as large as hen's eggs, and the let
ters of the song about four inches in
height.
Eaylnga of Children.
One of the pictures at "Sanders' Won-
erland" last night represented the
ortland University with a river steamer
in the foreground. The lecturer turned
to the little ones on the front seats and
asked: "Now, children what is this?"
The timid reply came from one of them,
The Regulator." The speaker was
nonplussed for a moment, but regained
his composure during the applause
which spontaneously followed. This re
minded a young lady of Tbe Dalles, who
has taught a Sunday school class for
several j'eare, of the unexpected answer
given by one of her pupils when Mr.
Maloney was marshal. "Who is presi
dent of the United States?" queried the
lady. "Dan Maloney," was the prompt
response. It was several minutes before
the child could be corrected.
