VOL. 11. BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1909. No. 152 FAREWELL RECEPTION Art Needle Work Society Gave Farewell Reception to Three Ladies of Club Who Are Soon to Leave.

One of the pleasant and at the' same time unpleasant affairs of the late spring season in Belleville was the farewell reception given Thursday afternoon by the ladies of the Art Needle Work Society at the home of Mrs. James A. Willoughby on South Jackson street. The affair was pleasant because these ladies always have a good time, the only unpleasant feature being the farewells taken of Mrs. D.

B. Heller, Mrs. M. F. Zent and Miss Marie Challoner, all of whom are leaving Belleville.

These ladies have lived in Belleville practically all their lives and have hosts of friends and bidding farewell to them, even in the midst of a gay party was no pleasant thing to do. Mrs. Heller and her husband will leave next week for Los les, California. Mrs. Zent and her husband are at present living in East St.

Louis, preparatory to moving West, and Miss Challenor will leave in a few days to make her future home with her sister, Mrs. Lotus Miles, in New York City. Mrs. Willoughby's home was orated with roses and pink peonies and the bright spring flowers, now at their lovliest, added much to the beauty of the rooms. In the receiving party were the officers of the club: Mrs.

Walter Grob, president; Mrs. H. M. Dittoe, vice president, and Mrs. George Niess, secretary.

In 1 addition to the officers in the receiving party were Mrs. Heller, Mrs. Zent, Miss Challenor and Mrs. Willoughby. Among the guests at the reception were Rev.

Gibbs and his wife. Rev. Gibbs is the new rector of St. George's church, having arrived i in Belleville from Wisconsin Wednesday evening to assume his new duties. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Despite the threatening weather of Wednesday evening a fair sized audience attended the production of the four-act play entitled ed at the Altar," by the popular Victoria Miller Company at the Airdome on West Main street.

Miss Victoria Miller, who plays the lead, has made many friends in this city. In last night's play she portrayed her part with exceptional ability. Will and Otto Thebus, two former Belleville boys, also play very excellent parts in the production of the different plays. This evening "An American Gentleman," a genuine American play, will be produced by this capable company at the Airdome. This bill is a farcical four -act comedy and affords many opportunities to test the ability of this capable and pleasing company.

New vaudeville features will be put on between the acts. Friday evening the Airdome ought to be packed to the capacity when the Victoria Miller Company produces "Monte Cristo." This production is one of the best melodrama plays being used in repertoire productions. During the entire four acts there are many thrilling climaxes which holds the audience from the start to the finish. This will also be amateur night and quite a number have already signified their intention of participating. All who have as yet failed to see any of the capable plays produced at the Airdome would be justly repaid by attending at least one of the performances and be convinced of the sterling ability of the company which is showing at that place BENE TO MANAGE Premier Minor League Manager to die the East St.

Louis Emmerts in Trolley League. Jake Bene, the well-known manager of amateur base ball teams, has signed a contract to assume the mangement of the East St. Louis Emmerts of the Trolley League.

LOUIS TEAM MADE TRAVELLERS Elimination of Two Clubs From Trolley League Necessitates Changes In Schedules. At a meeting of 1 the officers 01 the Trolley League held the Planters' Hotel Wednesday night it was decided to make East St. Louis a traveling club. With the elimination of the Letter Carriers and the Grand Leaders from the league there were five park owning teams left. With this number of parks it was impossible to arrange a satisfactory schedule and, inasmuch as East St.

Louis people have not patronized their home park to any extent, it was thought best to make the club of that town a traveling team. The club agreed to the proposition when it was shown that it would be to its advantage 1 to do so and a new schedule will be arranged accordingly. Manager Krebs received a card from the manager of the Ellendale team Thursday morning in which he said the team and a big crowd of rooters were coming over day with an eye for blood. The manager said it was impossible to get a special car on the Suburban on account of the difficulties with the adjustment of the new rate, but that a big crowd would "tag along" and help repeat the dose administered Belleville the last time.

The milk dispensed by the dairymen of Belleville is to be the subject of close scrutiny by the board, of health. This policy was announced at the last meeting of the board because of complaints that some dealers were technically violating the law in regard to what kind of milk shall be sold.

According to the board's rules, all milk sold in the city must contain twelve per cent solid matter and be free from adulterants of any kind or nature. With this general provision, three classes of milk will be tolerated. The first is "rich" milk, which must contain five per cent of butter fat; the next is "pure good" milk, with four per cent of butter fat, and the next is "poor, but wholesome" milk with only three per cent of butter fat. It is alleged that some of the local dealers mix these three classes of milk and then add skimmed milk and water thereby increasing the quantity of the product and at the same time staying within the pale of the law. Such milk as this is dangerous and the health board is going to stamp its sale out of existence.
