after being continued from the day be-

After a few questions We're asked by

tried is not valid power not being dele

such an ordinance.
It seems that the city charter grants
to it right to provide for the inspection
of weights and measure, and the punish
men, upon conviction, OF such person or
persons guilty of using false weights and
measures. Since the defense has shown
that 1t Is not guilty of using false weights,

Casino was presented last night by the
Wills Musical Comedy company. THE

which the company made its appearance

Two Old Cronles' is a play in two
acts and three scenes, and a feature of
the show is a Transformation scene in the
second act that requires only eight sec
onds. During that short space of time
the scenery was changed from a scene
representing the good ship Flying
Dutchman' at sea, with all members of
the company on deck, TO that of an In
dian camp. When the lights were turned
every member of the company had on
different costumes.
The part of "ODonovan Duff" a
stranded actor, was taken by John r.

Henshaw and Ten Brock organization.
