ordinance passed it's first reading at
the last meeting of the council and
the rules were suspended last night
and the ordinance will be made a law
as soon as it is advertised the required
length of time.

with the city clerk; bond is attached

ing that the Norfolk parties who
signed it have withdrawn and the
bond, as far as they are concerned, is
valueless.
The ordinance was passed after a
petition was read by the city clerk
signed by about 300 citizens, who ask

it. They declared the city had suff

little attention to this petition anC

broke into hubbub of conversation

The annual fair was 6 great success from every point nf view. As there will be more fairs in coming years, one of the most important points Is the general feeling of satisfaction among those who attended. There were a lot of people here and they were we'll l.leased. One of the in, portAnt contributing factors to suo- oessful fair is gooi weather h this respect the society was very fortunate.
 Tuesday and Thursday were two ideal fall dave. Wednesday showed signs of rain Tn the morntnR and in fact Q few drops of rain fell iu the forenoon, hut 1t cleared and the afternoon was all that could be desired. The threat ening weather in the forenoon no doubt kapt many from venturinR, and as a reAu.t She attendance wEs short a thousand of the big day one year ago

It gave an opportunity for lot of people to Ret heEe who would have otherwise been engaged in Q more prcsAio way at their regular duties. There was . big crowd from Spring. field the last day. and Palmer and Monson also contributed literally.
 The big Rrandssands ware nearly as we'll filled the third day as the seoond, and there were nearly as many on the grounds. With the big attendance and liberal income from ground rent,
 the society will make some money this year, although it costs a lot to run an amusement enterprise of such a comprehensive nature There Is no question about the midway being an important feature of the local fair, and it was certainly busy institution this. year. The other fairs being over, the fakers. lunch men and other privilege set ksrs came from all di- rections All did Q good business and furnished their share of the life of the fair.
