Daily Huronite, IL: The excellent
MADISON DAILY LEADER has just entered
upon its fifth year, and is able to report
itself prosperous beyond expectations.
1t signalizes its birthday by a lecture
from the proprietor that ought to have
a wide reading by both proprietors of
local dailies and their patrons. 1t has,
also, several sound suggestions on me-
thods of business, with good hints to
those who ought to be good patrons.
A serious, if not a fatal accident, befel
Lee Boyington, OF Chester township,
yesterday. While trying to start a
baking mule he prodded it with a pitch
fork. The animal kicked viciously and
struck the end OF the tines with its hoof
driving the fork handle with such force
into Mr.. Boyington's abdomen as to pro-
duee q most dangerous rupture from
which great quantities OF blood flowed.
The physician thinks his recovery
doubtful.
Dan McKinnon has purchased the lots
fronting south on Center street, now oc-
cupied by the Bell marble works. Mr..

ment. During Mr.. McKiunon's recent
visit to the Pacific coast. he kept his eyes
open and Investigated the future pros
poets of a good many towns, and after
drawing conclusions decided that his
home town, Madison, was a good place to
make investments for future returns.
Argus Leader, ID: The Madison city
council is considering a proposition to
fine boys under fifteen years old found
on the street after 9 o'clock in the even
ing without reasonable excuse. The
motive OF the ordinance is sound. Boys
and girls are being ruined continually
by the freedom with which they are per-
mitted to roam the streets after dark.
In the formative period they should be
kept under surveillance, parents should
know where they are at all times and to
what influences they are subject. And
it is quite likely that a law excluding
them from the streets at night would be
beneficial.
Tomorrow, the city election will be
held. The general opinion is that M.
j. McGillivray will succeed to the may
orally by a large majority, and there be-
ing no opposition the caucus nominees
for aldermen viii OF course be success
full at the polls. IL is important that
there be q full vote cast. In fact it is
valuable to the commercial interests of
the city that every voter attend the
polls and thereby show our population.
The caucuses last week were we'll at
tended, the number in the four wards
reaching nearly 400. This would indl-
cate that something like 700 votes r
possible and should be polled tomorrow.
Turn out and vote, everybody. The
polls win be open from 8 q. m. to 4 p. m.
