Law amendments and city council humor in late 19th century notes
A crude balance of public policy and local whim recaps a Grand Army pension bill passing by unanimous vote, widening widow allowances and disability scope. It also notes Dr W A Quayle as a possible DePauw president, plus a jesting city council resolution restricting policeman smoking and profanity. A railroad shifts to oil fuel, and ads praise Hostetter’s Bitters and Chamberlain's Pain Balm while listing local notices and sales.
