All Halloween,

The young people OF Rapid City did
not allow Halloween to pass without
notice. Parties were given and largely
attended by the young people. The
games incidental to that night were III
dulged in, and many a fair maiden en-
deavored by incantations and magic
practices to lift the veil OF futurity and
get a glimpse at her future husband.
That the night before was Halloween
was made painfully apparent to the
residents OF Rapid City yesterday morn
ing, many OF whom woke up to find the
gates missing from their fences or their
front yards filed with dry goods boxes
or else a sign, p%urloined fromdown town
business house prominently displayed
on the front OF their houses. The boys
had a good time, and while the exuber-
ance OF youthful spirits found vent in
acts Of annoying merriment, INDUCED
in nothing bad Or vicious, and those OF
older growth who mourned for gates and
barn doors lost, signs misplaced or de-
bris piled in their front yards, grimly
smiled and with a remembrance OF how
in years past by they played the same
identical pranks upon "old' Jones OIL
Brown or Smith, forgave the boys AND
ret about repairing the t%rifing damage
done.

A Hypocriticai Old Piifercr.

An extraordinary scene was enacted
yesterday in the Church of Saint-Ger-
main rAuxerrois during the capture
of a female pilferer by a private detec-
tive. The offender, who was an unctu-
Il elderly person, had been surprised
in a diapers shop Just as she was en-
gagged in anneXing various articles Of
haberdashery. Accordingly. she re-
treated quickly from the establishment,
and, closely followed by the detective,
took refuge in the church, where she
threw herself on hor knees and began
10 turn her eyes up to the roof in fer-
vent prayer. The detective, however,
was sure of his woman and ordered
her to get up and follow him, where
upon she shouted Justify for help and
used some extremely realistic language
to the effect that 'a wretch wanted to
take advantage of her!" The sacred
edifice rang with shrieks, and the
bcadle of the church, armed with his
long halbcrd, the sacristan, the bell
ringer, and various other persons col
neclcd with the house of prayer rushed
to the rescue. Some of the congrega-
ton who were attending the service
also turned upon the detective. He
was allowed, however, after due OK.

Yesterday afternoon some neo,,le i

Yesterday afternoon some people in
Plunket & Linch's liquor store noticed
a large amount Of smoke issuing from
the ceiling in the front room. Water
and axes were procured and the floor in
one OF the upper Dom torn up and in
ves-igation made. No fire, however,
was discovered, but the investigation
made led to the discovery THAT a brick
chimney which started in the ,room was
in such a.bad condition that had not q
fire been in the stove they would have
been fired. The mortar had dropped
from between the bricks, leaving big
cracks through which the flames could
readily reach the wood work surround
ing tie chimney. The discovery OF the
cli,nney's condition was ~ most fortu-
nate one, as had fire one got started in
the wooden buildings there, it would
have given the titemen a hard job to ex'

used liquor and money at the polls, no

will pass it by as a campaign lie. We
are glad that the contest is over, politics
were never to our taste, but it is this

PROHIBITION.

The enforcement OF prohibition was
one Of the vital issues OF the campaign.
Many men who did not favor the law
were in favor OF it's enforcement, and
one would naturally suppose would be
alive to the necessity OF choosing men
whom if not prohlbitionists, yet were
men on whom the opposition held no
strings. But the result is a mystery
froma temperance standpoint. Thevote
in this city shows that these called,
temperance clement, with a very few
exceptions, voted against such rhen
as Doty, Reed and Wilkinson and IN
favor OF Clark, Gardner and Brown,
men not only opposed to the law, but
WHO have been open vlolators OF it IL
securing their election. We do not say
that Mr.. Brown has pledged himself moi
to enforce the law, but we do say tina
no man who uses liquor to secure al
election, who frequents such places a
election times and courts the support o
saloon keepers, is free to do his who'll
duty as Il district attorney. In GU
judgement prohibition will be a farce il
this county Tor the next two years.
