what may be called the ''Chicos"

1t is far more sensible to smoke a
good Sc. cigar like the "Chico" land

to pay double the price and get no
better smoke. 1t is made with a clear,
long Havana filler, and is especially
pleasing to the man who has been
smoking 1Oc. or two for q quarter

Common Council.

Having held the longest session on
record last week tie Council attempted
to hold the ''scrappiest" one this week.
But little business was done. Aid. Lam
from reported that $14, 800 had been
turned over to the Woodard, Furniture
co. tf1g city receiving rffn return the
| $15, 600 of bonds issued to assist in re
building the factory, and also deeds to
$4,000 worth of property and the same
| amount in insurance to run until the
agreements made had been fully carried
! out, covering period of three more
years.
The purchase of lots from James and
Morris Osburn for right of way for
the North Owosso trunk sewer was or
dered at 1915 and 5000 respectively.
1t was moved that water mains be
put in on Gilbert and Stewart streets
and Michigan avenue under the direc-
tion of the superintendent of the water
work despite the Mayors veto. The
mayor and city attorney said it would
be illegal to do the work in that manner
as the cost was over $500. Then sepa-
rate resolutions for work on each street
were presented and passed.
Aid. Lamb presented resolution
that special election be held Wednes-
day, Nov. 1, to vote on a proposition to
bond for $15,00o to improve the water
works plant. 1t failed to receive two
thirds vote.
During the discussion Of this question
Aid. Rigley and BRANDED got into very
disgraceful personal discussion and the
row lasted for quite while, no one be-
ing able to quiet the aldermen until all
had had their say.
The Mayors veto of the resolution
instructing the fire committee to pur-
chase 500 feet of hose at 80 cents per
foot was read and some of the members
took exception to what they termed
"boodle" charges seemingly thinking
or knowing that they were the ones un-
der suspicion. Later Aid. Brown
moved to pass the resolution over the
veto but the required seven votes were
not secured, Aid. Lamfrom, Nichols,
BRANDED and Mills voting no. The de-
feating of the proposition to buy hose
for 80 cents per foot when as good could
be secured for so or 60 cents started
another exhibition of temper and final.
ly Aid. Brown introduced a resolution
that the Mayor appoint committee to
investigate the Doodle charges. Also
that the clerk be instructed to send in
vitations to the clergy of the city asking
them to attend the meetings of the
council. The Mayor quickly put this
to a vote and it was carried.
Mayor Parkill has filed vetoes against
resolutions ordering the construction of
water mains on Stewart and Gilbert
streets and Michigan avenue because
the Council has no authority to order
the board Of public works to do the
work otherwise than by contract and
the board no right to lay them except
by contract. The Gilbert street con-
tract would also exceed the five hun.
dred dollar limit of cost Of work which
can be done by hiring laborers to work
under the superintendent's direction.

Old Time Owosso History.

The Central Michigan novel, Break

press, has certain of its scenes laid in
the capitol city. 1t has, however, a
wider range than Ingham county. II
gives the first vivid picture of the great
outlawry movement reaching from
Indiana through Southern and Central
Michigan to Canada. The excitement
in this section over some of the events
chronicled in Break O. Day" will be re-
membered by the older inhabitants of
Owosso and read in the story with in

THE sERIo-COMIC GOvERNEsS."

The Serio-co Govcrncss and her
companions gave the patrons of The
Strong Theatre n full measure of
amusement Monday night. The original
production of Zangwill's comedy has
been remodcllcd to tit the demand of
the hour and migat now be more ftly
named n musical-comcdy. 1t has, how
ever, the advantage of the ordinary
musical comedy in the sequence of its
plot and the brightness of its lines.
Miss Nellie beaumont, who plays the
title role, is one of the cleverest all
round stars who has appeared on the
local stage for some time. She Is re-
quircd not only to properly interpret
the role OF Zangwlls capricious her
Dine, but to sing and dance as BELTS
the queen of vaudeville. All these de-
mands are most satisfactorily met by
Miss Beaumont She looks well. sings
well, dances we'll and acts WELL
Only second to Miss Beaumont in
favor with the audience was Richard
+. Carroll who gave n most amusing
Interpretation Of the theatrical man
ager. He showed himself to be gem
uine comedian, whose fun Is clean and
spontaneous.
The company is a large one and uni
formiy excellent, Gertrude Clemens and
Fred Wayne being especially deserving
OF recognition for intelligent work In
rather unusual parts.
The incidental songs are bright and
catchy and the dances attractive and
well executed the dance OF the Indians
making decided hit.
