Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Edis re
turned the latter part of the week
from their trip to England, where
Mr. Edis' father resides. They
left this city October 6th and going
through to New York embarked on
the steamship Lucania for Liver
pool. They traveled through Eng
land, and spent a week or more in
London arid Bradford. Returning
to New York they spent several
days in that city, and a day or two
in Buffalo and at Niagria Falls.
From there they went to Chicago
for a week and thence to Wisconsin
where they made a short visit with
relatives of Mrs. Edis. The trip,
barring sickness on the ocean, was
a pleasant one, but Mr. Edis de
clares he has no desire -to reside
permanently in England.
I. A. Fort, of this city' writes
a letter to the Fremont Tribune in
which he advocates a law that will
permit the formation of sugar beet
districts and authorizing the voting
of bonds for the construction of
factories to convert the beets into
sugar. Tnis law would be. modeled
after the state irrigation law. The
security would be ample 'and the
people would then own the factor
ies. In speaking of Mr. Fort's plan
the Tribune says: "In this there
is at least the hint of a remedy for
settling- difficulties that are likely
to arise between the factories and
the beet growers. In line with this
general plan is the suggestion that
comes from other' sources, ot co-operative
factories. Let beet grow
ers subscribe stock to be paid for
in oeets. m tins manner tlie grow
ers would have a voice in factory
management. Then in such years
as the present, when beet richness
was low, a. fair price could be rea
lized for beets, the grower foregoing
a dividend on his factory stock."

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Thomson and Day were absent
from the council meeting last night
but the other members were pres
ent and thus formed a quorum
The first business considered was
a petition from north side people
asking the council -to permit
flour and feed dealer on that side to
place scales in the street in front
A.
of his place of business. The mat
ter was referred to a special com
mittee with power to act.
Communication was received
from First ward hose company
stating that Claude Weingand and
Henrv Rebhausen had served their
time as firemen and asking- the
council to issue ' them certificates
A similar communication from the
Second ward company asked that
certificates be issued to Thomas
Haley. Wm. Breternitz and Allie
Babbitt. The clerk will issue the
certificates.
The proposed ordinance relating
to closing saloons, billiard halls
and confectionery stores at mid
niglit which, tlie attorney was in
structed to draft was called for, but
Mr. French stated that he had not
prepared the ordinance. He did
not think the council had the power
to close any place of business other
than a saloon.
Someone asked how the awning
case was progressing, and tlie at
torney said it was taking a rest at
present.
Chas. Pahs appeared before the
council and made complaint against
us dogs owned by M. C.
Keith. Mr. Pahs had been "held
up" thrice br these dogs, and he
knew of others who had been bit
ten. The city r marshal was in
structed to see Mr. Keith and have
him confine the dogs or else muzzle
them.
Fikes moved that the city attor
ney be instructed to draft an ordi
nance providing that all saloons be
closed at midnight. The motion
carried.
The cleric reported $180.00 in the
water fund, but Iddings wanted
the amount to remain in the treas
ury until the next meeting. He
thought part of the income derived'

department. The warrant was not
issued.

decided to have a live bird shoot on
Christmas dar and five cents in

son between now and that time.

pijreons.
At a meeting of the gun club
on December 16th, 1895, the execu-
lve committee decided to call in
the badge for poor shooting and not
use the same until further notice.
Anyone who does not shoot because
le is afraid he will receive the
booby medal need not be further
alarmed.
'THE TORNADO."
Lincoln J. Carter s srreat scenic
melo-drama will be at Lloyd's on
w
Monday evening of next week,
December 23d. Speaking ot this
play, the Chicago Herald says: The
production depends chiefly upon its
scenic effects, and these alone would
carry a much less meritorious work
to success. The principal sensa
tional teature is a tornado scene in
the first act. This is accomplished
by the aid of electricity and special
ly constructed mechanism, and it is
but iust praise to sav that it is one
of the finest and most complete sen-
sational effects ever shown on the
stage, even eclipsing the great
freight train effect of "The Fast
Mail." The scene is a country vil
lage in Wisconsin on the Fourth of
Jul v. All is quiet and calm. Then
a faint breeze is heard. A flag on
a staff that had hung limp flutters
gently; then as the wind increases
it stands out straight. The wind
grows into a gale and then a tor
nado. The elements howl a"nd the
sky darkens. Lightning vividly
flashes in forked tongues across the
stage real lightning it is, too;
roofs, fences and debris are hurled
tnrougu tue air; trees are torn up
and crash upon the ground and a
house is demolished and blown
away. The scene is one of terrific
reality. The jagged lightning, the
roaring of the elements and the con
fusion of the tornado are all re
markably represented.
