that a frost would come along and

ing because we do not have a heavy
frost to assist in drying up the fields

corn. The crop will be the largest

next year.
At the regular meeting of the city
council held last Monday evening the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
company was Instructed to place some
safety appliance at the crossings of

tracks. The Northwestern and Bur
lington railroads were also ordered to
put a crossing in on Madison street,
one block west of First street. The
marshal was also instructed to cause
all fences to be removed from all
streets in the city limits. During
the past summer several streets in
different parts were fenced by prop
erty owners, who owned a couple of
blocks of ground in order to hove pas
ture, and the residents of the city in
the vicinity of said fences complained
to the board and the fences were
ordered removed. _
