The attraction at the opera house
Monday night was the song recital,

Watkins of New York. The program
was in three parts, the first, Songs OF
Colonial Days second, Songs Of An

the Present Day BY favorite American
composers.
The weather during the day was url-
propitious and threatening at dusk, but
Notwithstanding, every seat on the first
floor from the footlights to the entrance
was occupied and many stood in the
aisles. One feature Of this gathering was
the number of couples whose hair has
been silvered by the hand of Time, and
who had been entieed from home by the
anticipation Of the realization OF the
pleasure which they would derive from
The ballads OF the long ago, and to join
II, a complimentary expression, lovefli
tender Of welcome to one whose girlhood
md naidenhood were spent in ShreVe-

The audience was both surprised and
delighted to listen to the discourse Of
.eloquently poetical music in the simple
songs with soui-reaching sentiment. the
Salads familiar to the old folks, which
were applauded to the echo. The audi
snce was of the cultured and refined, the
lppreciative Of talent, and from the INF

when the sympathetic ballads :" lis but

memories Of the past and touching the

Special to lmeS-Republica9.
Fort Dodge. Dec. 16.-The question
of repeating two ordinances brings in
10 view decidedly new phase of the
meat situation in Fort Dodge. 1t APP
pears to be the popular opinion thai
the meat dealers have been charging
high prices for meats. An atusqnpt
upon the part of local resident to dis
failure to sell them to any of the local
butchers led to his killing the animals
and placing them on the market at a
reduced price for quarters. The BUTCH
ers imported a cheaper grade of meat
from the packing houses and met this
new competition.
That the laboring people represented
by the various unions regard the price
of meat too high is evidenced by their
action in presenting a petition to the
city council asking that two ordi-
nances which prohibit the sale of meat
from house to house by other than
regularly establ!shsd merchants be re-
peaied. The repeal of these ordinances
IL sought as remedy by the mem
bers of the Gypsum Miners and Mill
Workers Union and the Trades and
Labor Assembly thru their officers.
The ordinances in question are
known as ordinances No. 125 and 1879.
1t is claimed that they were, passed
some years ago at the instigation of
the meat dealers. who sought protec-
ton from farmers and others who
made a practice of selling msat from
house to house durEg the winter
months much. to the annoyance and
Joss of the regular merchant, whose
expenses w,sre more and his sales less
during this particular season.
The unions presenting the petitions
claim that the repeating of the ordi-
nances viii make the market wide
open and practically pronibit the pack
ers from controlling the supply as they
now do and will be the means of caus-
ing the price to come down to its nor
nal level. On THE other hand the
dealers declare that If they are given
no protection that it Will bring about
condition which will ruin them. The
outcome will be watched with interest
by the consumers. who welcome any
measure that reduces prices.
