During the past week we have seen the
final report of the treasurer Of the Au-
dubon relief committee. This commit
tee, it will be remembered, was organ
lied in the fall Of 1893, and collected
funds amounting to over 5000. On May
IL, 1894, Mr.. F. S. Watts, as treasurer Of
the committee presented his report,
which was approved by the auditing
committee, and was published at that
time, showing that $545.79 out of the
total subscription OF $637.25 had been
paid out, leaving balance on hand of
S91. 46. On November % last, Mr.. Watts
presented his final report. From May
II, 1894, to November %, 1885, S91.46
has been paid out ON twenty eight
vouchers. On December 3 an auditing
committee consisting of J. M. McKara-
han, w. Burnside and III. w. Hanna ex-
amined the report, and found it correct.
That good management has been the
rule in handling this fund is easily seen.
The amount, not large at the outset, was
made to last through two winters, and
no one knows how much suffering and
want was relieved by this charity.
The city council at their meeting Mon
day evening voted to grant license to

ton "curfew" ordinance. A number
Of citizens have given expression favor
ing the enactment Of an ordinance OF
this nature and petition to that effect
WILL in all probability be presented at
the next council meeting. Curfew ordi-
nances are now in force in many Iowa
