ramona" COMING
TO WEBSTER CITY
Will be at the Arlnory Opera House
two Days, March 18th
and 18th.

The love of Ramona" and Aless-
andre, in Helen Hunt Jackson's great
story, did not only not run smooth,
but came to most pitiful and disas-
ferrous end.
The sad and touching narrative Of
lHiawatha and Minnehaha itself does
not breathe 4 more hopeless love than
that of these counterparts of the ear
ly Spanish California days.
Alessandro had met and loved RAJ
mona and she, unknowing, had re-
turned his wondrous love, though no
spoken word of either's affection had
lever passed between them. He had
been content to call her his 'SenoTi-s
ia" and to worship from distance.
She only knew that she was deeply
interested in him and that the chance
words of "Marguerita" about him
made her frightfully jealous.
Then came the ever-to-be forgot
ten Acknowledgement of it-down by
the spring where he had first come
upon her washing out the alter
cloth. They were talking about his
probable going away and Alessandro
had seen tears in Ramona's eyes. The
world had changed in a second; he
had exclaimed in joyousness "Senor-
ita Ramona. tears have come to
your eyes! o iSenorita, then you will
not be angry if say that love you!"
and Ramona had whispered, eyes,
Alessandro, do love you!" Then the
mercless Sonora Moreno had surpris-
ed them-there locked in each 9TH
er's arms-and had called her "a
shameless creature." had struck her
cruel blow on the mouth and seized
her by her arm and dragged her
away.
This was only the commencement
but it proved to be the gloomy fore
shadowing Of all their after life to-
gether.
Ramona" Clune's massive cine-a
ma-theatrical production Of Mrs.
Jackson's story, will be given at the
armory opera house two days, March
IA and 10, with matinee at $3.50 each

L petition was presented from the
council of Woodstock asking for a
| fiat rate of cents for all current
purchased from Webster City. They
are now paying at the rate of 5 cents
per XIV. hour for the first 2,7OO hours
per month. The petition was placed
ION file and an Investigation ordered.
City Manager H. G. Vollmer ten
ldered his resignation, the same to
take effect April 1st. No definite ac-
ltion was taken regarding the rasig-
lnation, which will be deeply regret
ted by all who have an interest in the
present manager and the manager
plan. Mr.. Vollmcr has been respon-
sible for many Improvements in the
city and a decided saving in dollars
and cents. He has received various
loffers from OTHER cities during his
years residence here, but desired to
tsee the plan in operation here for at
least a year He is a competent, eff
|ticient man, capable and conscien-
ltious. The city loses good manager
when he goes. Mr.. Vollmer's plans
are as yet indefinite as to the future.
The reports of the city manager,
clerk and treasurer were read and
approved and the report of the Ken
dali Young library presented and fl
ed. Bills amounting to $4,333.39
were allowed Some objections were
heard upon the Des Moines and Pros
pect street paving. Some of these
were standard objections and Others
were based upon the method of as
sessmeni.
The council then passed resolu-
tions lerying the assessments on the
Des Moines and Prospect street paw
ing. The ordinance was again intro
duced by Kamrar for it's first read
ing, reducing the number of wards
of this city to three. The motion for
the first reading failed to receive a
second and was laid by until fresh
trial.
Ordinance No. AS, fixing the
clerks salary at $685. per month, was
passed.
An important resolution was in
troduced providing for the distribu-
tion Of the city's moneys in as equal
a manner as possible among the four
Webster City banks: Hamilton Cour-
ty State Bank, Webster City Savings
Bank. Farmers National Bank and
First National Bank. According to
the resolution introduced, bonds will
be required from the banks receiving
the moneys, under the law as found
in the Code OF Iowa.
The council then adjourned to
meet Saturday evening, March 17th,
for the purpose of canvassing petit
ions.
