One of the most enjoyable events
"f tbe season was the social reception

plaving games, singing and social
chat. During the evening i.n eluho
late lunch was served by the young
ladies of the society, ami the appetites
of the guests were beautifully ap
peased. After a general good time
the guests departed, with many ex
pressions of praise for their enter

there might be early and frequent
repetitions of entertainments of this

again. Now if our patrons want
cheap job work, wo can give it to
them at just as low a figure an any
other job printing house, but as our
patrons know, we have never turned

give orders to cheap concerns who

The Ico Goes Out.
For the second time this winter the ico
has gone out of the river at this place and
the inhabitants along the river are out of
their misery.
About seven o'clock Saturday evening
the ice commenced to move and climb up
the piers of the bridge, und as usual the
peoplo made a rush for the river to watch
the rather chilly spectacle, a great many
forgetting all about "goin'. to meetin',"
and it i not to be wondered at, for it was
a grand sight to seo tho Rreat mosses of
congealed water as it rushed and roared
down the river at first, but when it began"
to slow up and act as though it was going
to stop and make us a visit it wasn't so
grand, und the people made a rush for
higher ground. For a short time the sit
uation looked very dangerous as the ice
began to crowd into the back channel
roaring and rolling high in the air, piling
up on the banks to tho height of ten
or twelve foot, but the temporary
gorge in the river iiually gave away and
began to move on in its natural course,
while the hearts of the people on the Hats
dropped back into thuir natural positions.
The people of this place were very
fortunate, and the d.tmago doiio was very
slight, as none of tho houses were
Hooded, the only real damugo done was
the crushing in of the side of the small
building used by Jas. Hilling as a car
penter shop.
Al about iu o clock the river was
nearly clear of ico ut this nloco. and
ul1 danger was over, although there is a
gorue anout a mile in lenuth a
short ways below town, but it is not
houvy enough to cause any diimago and
a low days' of warm weather, or a slight
rise in the river will undoubtedly curry
it out without serious trouble.
Hut while wo were lucky, wo must not
forget the less fortunate people down the
river who are still ill great dancer. The
ico is still lust Iroin Kitiaiining
to the head ot Rattlesnake nllio, ju.-a
below Parker, a distance of thirty -live
miles, and the residents sav that water
cannot move such a mass of ice, and that
it may remain there tor weeks until the
sun causes it to move away gradually.
If there should be heavy ruins it i le n t il
Hint Kitiaiining und Ford t'ilv will be
bo swept Iroin the face of the earth.
i he situation above limiola is not
necessarily dangerous, and there has
been no serious daunnto done so lur.

A Destructive Fire.
At about 0;:to o'clock Monday fore
noon an alarm of lire was sounded from
tho residence of Dr J.W.Morrow on Eltn
street oposite Hcowdpii it Clarks' wagon
factory and our volunteer II ro depart
ment made a speedy response
Tim lire originated In the rear of the
building in tho second story over the
kitchen nnd had evidently heen burning
for some tiino before It was discovered,
ns it had burst through the side of
tho building before tho hose com
pany reached the scene, and for a timo It
looked very doubtful if the building
could bo saved, but In a remarkably
short time, tho volunteer firemen had
two lines of hoso laid and two streams
playing on the building, and many will
ing hands carried out tho household
goods.
In a remarkably short time the lire was
under control, and all danger of sur
rounding buildings becoming ignited
was past, and then our citizens began to
appreciate the value of the new water
plant, for it, is an uniuestionablo fact
tlmt with nothing to tight ihe lire but the
old "soda fountain" the building would
surely Iiavo burned, for one charge of the
cylinder of the chemical engi no would not
have lasted long enough to have gotten
the (ire under control, and tho timo lost
in re-charging the cylinder would have
given the tiro such headway that the ef
forts of tho firemen would have b-on
fruitless.
When it is understood that this is the
first tiro we have had sinco tho water
works wero put In, ami that it was the
first practical experience our firemen
have had in fighting fire with city water,
everybody will agree that too much
prai.so cannot be given them for their
prompt action, for they certainly made
as good time as could possibly bo mado
and with a little practico Tinuesta will
bo nblo to boast of us good a volunteer
firo department es any town in this sec
tion. Tho loss on the household goods of Dr.
Morrow was almost total. While tho
goods wero nearly all taken out they
wero in such a damaged condition ns to
bo practically worthless. Tho office fix
tures wore taken out in very good shape
and tho doctor says they could not have
been bandied better had he been there
himself. Insurance on household goods,
f40O; on ollice fixtures, ?.")00.
The building, which was for a number
of years tho place of publication of tho
forest l'rcss, which many of our citizens
well remember, is the properly of Mrs.
Anna Adams, of Detroit, Mich., and was
quito badly damaged by llro and water.
Fully "insu red.
And now the superstitious chump says,
"look out for two uioro fires, as they al
ways come throe in a row."
