Remarkable cold snap tale and civic notes from 19th century Ilinois
A DuLuth Herald yarn describes a brass band freezing in open air, then thawing when indoors and resuming music after a fire alarm. Governor Palmer signs a liquor law with $3,000 bonds for licensed sellers and age restrictions. The Sycamore Republican notes recurring wet seasons every seventh year and historic calendar quirks. It also mentions a Week of Prayer and Leap Year trivia for Loupe men.
