the heavy cold usually sets In. The
earliest date recorded is Dec 4. 1872,

Dare to Use Them.
1t is proposed to omit the ram from
the battleships of the Lord Nelson tyne
and the cruisers of the Minotaur class,
says a London dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Ledger. The ram is a weapon
that has played a prominent part in
naya warfare and appeals to the pop
ular imagination, but it is regarded as
effective no longer. 1t came into gen.
eral use with the Hotspur class. These
were battleships of 1000 tons, with q
speed of eight knots. A vessel of this
displacement and speed might have
many opportunities of ramming an adj
versar.y. but the service men of today
regard the weapon as a troublesome
t~ncumbrance.

Mayor Sears is preparing to put on
the lid in Sioux City after July l.
He has already announced that after
that date the gambling houses will
have to cease doing business. and
the mayor says it with the deter
mination of making good. When
Mayor Sears was elected mayor
several years ago it was with the
understanding that gambling houses
were to be run on the license plan.
According to the mayors statement
that was a time when Sioux City W S
hard up and needed the money. out
under the present conditions the
assessed. valuation has increased
sufficiently that enough revenue can
be secured from taxation to pay the
running expenses of the city. The
mayor made a personal Investigation
among two-thirds of the business
men and their opinions were very
much against the continuation of
gambling houses. Hence, after
July l., Sioux City will be without
gambling houses, il the mayor is
successful in making his word good.
With these institutions out of the
way Sioux City will be able to take
a much higher place among the
cities of the northwest.
