Thomas A. Edison presented his Tone-Test on September 25 at Elgin Opera House. Miss Lacey sang live and was then mimicked by the New Edison, leaving music lovers baffled as listeners could not distinguish the original voice from the recreated one.
A. M. Weibel and son William visit West Union for business while Clarence Schori returns from Cedar Rapids for a weekend visit and attends business college. Also listed are adult education offers, a farm for sale near Clermont, and local commentary on Ringling brothers origins and anarchist arrest news.
