than ever before. This fact was shown
on Monday afternoon at the City Hall
when a great crowd of bond buyers
from Chicago, Milwaukee and other
cities gathered to bid on the new issue
of ninety thousand dollars worth of
the city's four and a half per cent
water works bonds. The bonds were
sold to Halsey Stuart Company of Chi
cago, at premium of $3,457, with the
understanding that the Chicago company
will furnish the blank bonds ready for
execution. When the last issue of the
same size was sold by the city the
sale was made to Mccoy and Company

among the best bonds on the market
and there were fifteen bids for the is
sue. Under the terms of the bid of the
Halsey Stuart Company, the bonds
will be delivered about the first of No
vember and the added ninety thousand
dollars for the building of the water

DIP INTO DAYS AGoNE.
Frank Wells Home Was Place of Re-
Union of Old Guard of Musicians
Monday Night.

If the Maeterlinckian theory that
what lives in the thoughts of people
does not die, is true, then the old days
Of the early eighties were much alive
last night, as eleven gray haired men
sat about bountiful table, ate wild
duck from the northern marshes and
chartered gaily of other times when
butter was two pounds for a quarter
and strictly fresh eggs could be had for
ten cents dozen instead of ten cents
apiece.
Frank Wells was host in his Park
avenue home to the old Kenosha Ma
tional band of which he was leader
thirty years ago, and ten other
gay music makers of the winter of 1883
surrounded him. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Wells were married in June, 1889, the
Kenosha National band serenaded them.
Thirty-three years ago this fall the
eleven gray haired, serious faced men
who sat about the table last night were
eleven rollickingly merry youths, gaily
practicing the then most popular of
waltzes, Woodland Whispers or the
favorite schottische, "One Hundred
Years Ago." with never thought of
the time when they would be referring
to "thirty- three years ago. They
weren t then looking into the future
trying to picture the gay dancers who
stepped to their music as they would
appear in 1916 when they would be
known as father or mother, grandfather
or grandmother and hold up their hands
in horror at the hoydenish dances and
the blaring music with which the
youngsters of another generation were
fated to supplant the stately quadrille
and the rhythmic waltz.
Last night the long ago musicians
had with them their instruments and
one thoughtful member had brought the
old scores, so after the dinner the even
ing was spent in playing over old melo-
dies and dreaming of the happy past
"when we were twenty one.' Remi-
niscence after reminiscence recalled the
FRANKS that made the old days interest
| ing The interim between the time
when the last waltz was played by the
old Kenosha band and when the mem
bers sat down to their wild duck dinner
slipped into oblivion and the old days
| really existed for the diners for a few
short, happy hours.

SPLENDID MUSIC PLAYED.

AT Kemper Hall Monday night the
1irst of a series of private entertain
ments for the pupils in the hall and
friends OF the institution was given by
the Zoellner String Quartette.
The musicians were masters of tech.
nique and gave delightful program,
the larger part of which was by well
known composers of classics.
Charles s. skilten, a composer who
was new to many of the audience fur
nlshed charmingly arranged lullaby
and another selection played.
The entertainment was one of excep-
nonal interest and the audience was
most appreciative.
Inc difficult character of the music
played gave many instances in which
the finished technique Of the players
showed to advantage.

city clerk and the city attorney were
instructed to bring report to the
council at its next meeting of the cost
of the proposed work. 1t may be or

Think over Park Expert.
The suggestion of the Park Commits
sion that Myron West of Chicago, be
employed to act as consulting en-
gineer of the board in the laying out
of the parks of the city, did not get the
sanction of the council. Some of the
members thought that the contract
was too indefinite and the matter
was laid over until the next meeting
of the council.
The ordinance providing for the reg
ulation of building in the city was Civ
en- its first reading, but after long
discussion, which indicated pretty clear
ly that it was a "dead robin,' many
of the aldermen showed that they were
not ready to vote for the ordinance,
even in the abbreviated form that it is
HOW presented. III is TO come up for
final action at the next meeting
of the council.
The ordinance providing for the reg
ulation of meat markets and the ordi-
nance providing for a resident district
along the north end of Milwaukee
avenue were both passed without OPP
position.
1t was close to one O'Clock before
the council completed its extended
and tiresome meeting.

Jitney Regulation Delayed.

The committee on Judiciary and rail
ways and transportation brought in a
joint report, suggesting that all legis-
lation relating to the regulation of
jitneys be held in allegiance until after
the cases against jitney men now pend
ing in the Municipal Court were
settled. The report was adopted with
out division of the council and it is
probable that this will mean the, death
knell of regulation in the city, as a
majority of the aldermen have ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to reg.
ulation along the lines suggested.
The committee ON Judiciary suggested
a reduction in the amount charged for
junk dealers licenses, but this was
laid over and the police department
was instructed to collect from every
junk dealer the twenty-five dollar IL
cense now demanded by ordinance.
There was a, considerable disc lssion

1.-THE BUILDER OF BRIDGES"
Second Gustave FrOhman Photo.
drama Presented by World Film.

World Film Corporation presents
the tive-part photodrama THE Builder
of Bridges" at the Opera House,
Tuesday, December 9TH, based upon
Alfred Sutros successful play of the
same name. In theatrical annals
Sutro is known as a dramatist OF
power; his work always got over in
virtue of it's excellence and gripping
qualities.
c. Aubrey Smith, plays the part of
Edward Thurstield, the builder of
bridges, a great big man; master
engineer who is responsible for the
largest bridge in the world. While
this mammoth structure is in course
of construction love Obtrudes itself;
as we'll as other things concomitant
with the tender passion.
The worst of it is, that when you
fall in love with a girl, the thing
doesn't begin to end there. Not a bit
of it. The girl usually has relations,
and be sure, they trouble you sooner
or later.
So it was with Edward Thursfield. A
young fool in his Office lost money in
bucket shop, and stole the money
to make up the deficit. Edward
Thursfeld found this out and then un-
Willingly fell in love with the young
th:efs sister. Then the drama began
to move.
Marie Edith Wells, one Of the pret-
tiest girls ever seen in pictures, plays
the sweet appealing part OF Dorothy,
whose love for Edward Thursfeld,
introduces the human interest into
the story.
There is a splendid supporting cast
and Director George Irving has pro-
duced the picture with a keen eye to
dramatic effect
Gustave FrOhmans second picture
will no doubt prove a valuable addi-
ton to the long list of World Film
successes.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS
MERCHANTS WELL SUPPLIED With ALL KINDS OF MERCHANDISE
We changed and that mouths of all water.

That times have changed and that
the world is moving faster all the
time can readily be proven when one
looks around and finds out that
Thanksgiving has gone, our wide
awake merchants are already making
big preparations for Christmas and the
big trade which annually comes TO
this city at this season.
The slogan for several years has
been do your Christmas shopping
early, both because it gives more time
to select the gifts and because it takes
part of big burden off the merchants
and their clerks.
This year inquiry among the mer-
chants makes it certain that the sup
ply of all kinds of articles appropriate
to the season will be here in bigger
quantities than ever before. AS a
matter of fact the business men OF this
city are looking for the biggest Christ
mas trade ever seen and have wisely
prepared for it by laying in every KIND
Of article imaginable from the simplest
TOW to the most expensive and luxu-
rious gifts. Then the grocers we'll
know that this year the people all
have money and are going to enjoy an
old time feast when Xmas rolls around
and all the delicacies of this and all
other sections have been ordered and
will soon be seen decorating the win
doWs of these dealers, making the

Girls Club Serve Progressive Dinner.

One of the most enjoyable occas-
ions of each year and one that is
eagerly looked forward to by each
member is the Progressive Dinner
served each Thanksgiving evening by
the members of the Girls Club of
Grace Lutheran Church.
Last evening promptly at o'clock
the first course, soup and OySterettes
was served at the home of Miss Mar

lows: Oyster sandwiches at the home

Miss Irene Lippy; ham sandwiches
and olives at the home of Miss Katie
Bemiller; celery and potato chips
served by Miss Margaret Wilson, Car

the last, of mince pie and ice cream
were served at the home of the Misses
Reaver, East Main street.
At a late hour all returned to their

by all is putting it mildly.

The big merchants on the street
will soon begin to display in full their
goods for the Christmas trade and al
ready many have placed good line
out on their counters.
The Advocate knows that it has a
line Of readers well able to make the
Christmas season an enjoyable one;
that they are among the old and best
families in the county as we'll as the
most progressive of the younger ones,
and it asks them all to carefully scan
the columns of this paper for Christ
mas suggestions and offerings. Our
advertisers will number the big and
responsible dealers in this city, men
who know that it pays only to adver-
tise the truth about their merchandise,
and it will be we'll to glance over the
list before making purchases. 1t is
very hard when you go into a large
store to make your selection of gift,
so it will be easier to read the adver-
tisements over carefully and decide
upon your purchase before going out
to purchase it.
Our stores have the goods and there
is no excuse for going away from
home to make your purchases. You
will probably pay as much if not more
and not have the satisfaction of a per-
sonal inspection by buying away. See
if you can not find what you want
right here, first.
