SOME OLD TRICKS
They are Given as Suggestions to Wichita
Young People.

This is Halloween. In the old coun-
tries it is known as "All Halows Eve,
or the Eve OF all Saints Day" which
will be tomorrow. In this age il is de-
voted principally 10 devilment something
on the order of Topeka carnival, but in
olden times it was devoted 10 some rare
and innocent fun-tricks. They are Of
fered as suggestions TO Wichita people.
Most of the tricks relate TO the future
husband or wife OF the person who tries
them, and part OF the fun is the absurdi-
~ Of children having any idea about
such matters. Perhaps the greatest fun
for youngsters is bobbing for apples a
tub of water is placed on the floor, and

The kitchen or some room that has an oil
cloth on the foor is the best place for
this trick. as the bobbing process is apt
TO splash good deal OF water.
Another trick is 10 put on the table

VANDALISM MUST STOP
Police Board Chairman Gives Orders
About Halloween,

About daiioWeens
Mr.. o. z. Smith, chairman OF the board
Of police commissioners, has issued an
order which reads as follows. and IL viii
be enforced with the utmost severity:
The willful destruction OF property
and the carrying away OF the same, in
fact an assumed license TO commit van
daiism, having became a habit upon
Halloween. / desire TO warn any and
everyone that while innocent amusement
will be recognized and approved OF. al
destruction OF personal property OF what

struction or waste, Will be severely pun
ished. Special policemen will be ap-
pointed throughout the city 10 protect

The board Of county commissioners
heartily endorse the action OF o. T.
Smith in protecting property from being
destroyed on Halloween eve. they
with Mr.. Smith do not object 70 innocent
amusement, but are in favor OF punish
ing Vandalism OF every character and
kind, and take this method to notify par
ents that they VIII prosecute 10 the full
extent of the law any person caught de-
stroying or injuring property belonging
to the county, and they cal upon the
sheriff and all other officers - be on the
lockout for and arrest any such persons.

PAID BY THE STATE
Several Thousand Owed This County Dis
covered by Myatt.

An Eagle representative ran across an
item Of interest to every tax payer in the
county yesterday, in the county court
house, during the administration of
Judge Stratton and his predecessors in
the Office Of probate judge, a lunacy re-
cord was kept which gave the facts in ali
/ the cases OF lunacy which were dispos-
/ ed Of in the county When Judge Ny
att took charge Of the Office he and his
assistant unearthed these records and
found them in a very poor condition.
| The records had been kept and the pre-
! ceding officers had done their duty. per-
haps, as far as they knew now TO do IL,
| but the records had been kept in such
way that ii required not little re-
search TO find out about any particular
case. 1t was also brought to light by
Judge Myatt that the state was indebt-
! ed to this county quite an amount which
came about in this way: When the court
adjudged one person insane and ordered
! them sent othe asylum, the authorities
| in charge Of said institution received
them If they had room, and If not word
was sent back to not send person on this
account For every day thereafter dur
ing which the person was cared for by
the county, the county was entitled 70 80
cents for the care OF such person. Judge
Wyatt discovered that the state was in
debted to this county for this one item
quite a sum, and immediately set about
obtaining II, and soon after the county
received 81 900 for back accounts Since
that time about 81, 100 has been received
from this same source, making in all
about 5000 which was just that much
gained by the county, and all due 10 the
business capacity and care OF Judge Ny
att. \ new record was also made and
properly indexed so that only few mo-
ments are required to turn TO any case
on record.
Judge Wyatt has proven himself TO be
an able and efficient officer in many
ways and as IS always the case i is ex-
tremely dangerous to change from GER
tainty TO an uncertainty with the chances
all toward the latter. He deserves TO
receive the hearty support Of the citizens
OF the county in this election. and If he
does not il is simply ingratitude in those
who vote against him, for the many
things he has done while in office, which
he could just as easily left undone and
which made him no richer financially but
knowing he had done his best, and which
best was far better than the best OF any
OF his predecessors.

Judge Peters and Fuarmer Fnston In Town
Yesterday

Judge Peters was at the Carey for a
short time yesterday afternoon. He
came UP from Coldwauer, Comanche
county, where he spoke Wednesday af-
ternoon. He stated TO an Eagle reporter
that wherever he had been in the state
he had been met with large crowds and
that by far the greater number wore
yellow badges. His audience at Cold
water was a very enthusiastic one and
cheered wildly upon the mention OF the
name of Mckinley.
The afternoon before he spoke at Ash
land. and there he was greeted by the
same kind Of an audience which he has
met everywhere. In the Coldwater meet
ing there were but about twenty silver
badges in the crowd and of several de-
clared themselves for gold and protec-
ton. He left during the afternoon for
La Crosse where he was to speak next
z. H. Funston Of Allen county was
also at the Carey. He spoke at Mt.

begged pardon for interrupting. but
ventured Kansas at % 900 majority for
Bryan. Mr.. Funston slowly turned
around, took out his handkerchief and
slowly said: You want to bet on it"
Mr.. Hagin hardly liked the proposition
but desired TO change the statement
somewhat, but wanted to know how
much. Mr.. Funston answered in the
same slow, deliberate manner. "Oh. I
guess l can scrape up a thousand" At
this Mr. Hagin dropped 10 hat costing
