The event of the season was the third annual masquerade given last evening by Pahaska Tribe No.10. Pahaska has a reputation extending all over the state, for the high order of her masquerade balls and to say that they fully sastained [sic] their reputation last night would be putting it wild. Long before time for the curtain to rise for the musical burlesque, the galleries were jammed full with spectators, and one hundred chairs had to be placed down stairs to accommodate the late arrivals.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the musical burlesque "Pocahontas" commenced and was very creditably rendered by the braves of Pahaska tribe. L. B. Isenhart and [J.] Sullivan's makeup would put to shame the fashionable spinster of today. In fact all the characters were well sustained and the tableaux were gorgeous. [Illegible]When the grand march formed there was over one hundred couples on the floor while a great many occupied chairs around the hall. About 11:30 the order to unmask was given and many were the surprises as indicated by the numerous exclamations around, "Why I never knew you at all".

At the fourteenth dance an intermission of thirty minutes was taken for supper, which was served by the I.O.G.T. ladies, the Nebraska House and the Vienna. The orchestra did itself proud and never played in better form, as some of the round dances were called for a second time. A great many strangers from out of town were noticed in the throng, whose names we were unable to secure. The hall was beautifully decorated with Indian relics and souvenirs, from Col. Cody's collection, whom it is to be regretted was unable to be present, as he was called to New York at the last moment. The different committees worked very harmoniously and every thing went off the clock like system. The receipts were quite large and will go for charitable purposes and paying sick benefits in the tribe. As a source of enjoyment the committee of arrangements have reason to be proud of their efforts in making the third annual ball a success saucily and financially.
