( seats.
DR.. Sampson appeared for the
Elks Home Association, and had
the council refund the tax COL
lected on a $4,000 excess valuation
on their property.
A delegation Of ladies, resident
on east Fourth street, appeared
to request the council to extend
the fire limits to include both
sides Of Fourth street from Kin
sley avenue to Hicks street,
but the council refused the re-
quest for the reason that it
might work hardship on some
of the property owners in that
district.
The gas franchise ordinance
was passed and approved, and
Mr.. Hayden was given 80 days
to file his acceptance with the
council, and make his $1,000 cash
deposit with the city treasurer

for the next year was taken up

would remit to them their pro-
portion of the insurance tax.

that shows our city dads are get
ting the new progressive spirit
was the passage of a resolution,
and the appointment of com
mittee to investigate, get esti-
mates and propose sites for the
erection of a new city hall. If
the report Of the committee is
approved at the next meeting, a
proposition will be submitted at
the spring election for the is

raced after the animal until he was
perhaps quarter of a mile from him
when he decided to shoot and he only
missed him ten rods. Jess still in

closer he would have surely killed
him. Our hero again made chase for
another 20 rods when the wolf dis
covered he was being pursued and
Jess says all he could see then was a
streak of snow, but he took a shot at
that. He only had two shells with
him but he says if he had had more
shells he could have shot some more,
and we quite agree with him. At
ter the return to town Jess confessed
that he had never seen wolf before
or even tracks Of one, and although
he was quite breathless he consider
ed that to have seen live wolf on
the run was we'll worth his trouble.

A brilliant headdress, which may do
duty as dance cap, or for theater
wear, Is all made up Of sparkle and
midnight blackness. Banks Of rhine
stones. with black malines and narrow
velvet ribbons, are the means by
which the starry sky is translated into
bit Of headwear for the brow Of
beauty. There is no getting away
from the suggestion of the night sky
which this fascinating cap sings into
the mind.
One Of the advantages Of caps made
like the one pictured above is that
they soften Che severity Of the mostt
popular Of this seasons coiflures. This
couture leaves the brow uncovered
and reserves its fiiiffness foy the hair
about the ears. It is wond erfully youth
full looking, which accounts perhaps,
for its fiourishing III the face Of the
fact that its seVc.ity is often unbe-
coming. But band Of narrow velvet

for the absence of softly curling hair.

Did Tuck Ever Dance in Ellsworth

Tines Republican; It appears
from argument in progress between
the Webster City Freeman-Tribune
and the Ellsworth News that the
council of the latter town has or
dinanced license of $25 on each
dance held within the corporate linz
its OF the town. The News assumes
that the council considers dancing q
sin and improper. The F. T. points
out that teamsters are licens-
ed, with plumbers and other avoca-
lions and that the license fee is not
to be taken as evidence Of sin ed
IMPROPERLY as viewed from the coun-
Gil chamber. The FIT drops into
morals as Mr.. Wegg dropped into
poetry and lays down the PROPOSE
ton that if dancing is sin the
council has no moral right to thus
compromise with evil at twenty-five,
bones per compromise. It is veG
interesting discussion. Also it is oIe
pretty constant in and about iEll&
worth, sort of standard debate, d
the question of the comparative SUI
ferings of negro and Indian werA
stock in the old time debating
schools.
1t might be suggested that q, gem
erSl discussion of the question hight
fill up the time between now and the
weeks when things grow busy just
before the primaries. The Sioux City
Journal and the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican could thus delight a watt
ing world giving George Cosson q
rest. It would be fine to hear from
Bill Muse and. Freem Conoway and
Jack Dalton and Casey of Knoxville
on this subject, and Uncle Waite Of
the Burlington Hawkeye would sure
ly furnish excellent advice, on this
question.
Before the discussion begins, how
ever. it would be we'll til learn
whether Editor Tucker hadS ever
danced in Ellsworth. That might
explain why the council handed out
the SIS per and jnstifies it's action.
