Henry POESCH was the victim of a surprise party, a week ago last Saturday, on the occasion of his birthday. The old Postville band seranaded him after which they were invited to come into the house, where, with the other invited guests, they spent an evening of pleasant social intercourse and partook of a supper that would do honor to a wedding feast.

On Monday night burglars entered the residence of J.E. RUCKDASCHEL, (the former POWERS residence) in the east part of town and ransacked all the lower part of the house, but taking no valuables except a pocket-book containing about $10, which was found in Mrs. R's dress hanging in one of the rooms below, all the family sleeping on the second floor. Entrance was made trough the wood-house to the kitchen. The burglars went through the pantry stores and made a good meal of chicken and other choice eatables on the table. Partially burned matches were scattered about the floors of all the rooms below. No one was awakened and the marauders had everything their own way. Of course there is unfortunately no clue to the burglars.
