HALLOWEEN NIGHT.

Next Tuesday night will be Halloween,
and this article is written for the benefit
OF the young people Of this city. Parents
will do we'll TO call the boys and read this
to them.
Mayor John c. Young requests us to
say to the young people that be is willing
for them TO have all the innocent fun that
they can enjoy, but In no case, and under
no circumstances must they interfere
with public or private property. no
gates are to be taken of; wagons and
buggies must be let alone; signs must be
undisturbed, aud all property Of every
sort must be let alone. A large police
force will be on the streets Tuesday night,
with instructions to arrest and confine
any person who interferes with public
or private property.
1t has been q decidedly nonsensical
custom for the young people to do much
damage TO property on such occasions,
and what may be fun for them has been
an annoyance and expense to others.
The custom is heathenish, and has been
carried beyond all reasonable bounds,
aud it must and will be stopped. Com
plants are made to the mayor and police,
and now they have given fair warning.
A night In the calaboose and a healthy
fine next day awaits all who are caught
In any forbidden act. A force large
enough to cover the city will be on guard.
Boys, take warning. Have innocent
fun, II you can, but there is no law nor
reason to justify any unlawful act on
Halloween.

to grasp the wants Of the public. A few
years ago all farce comedies were ex.
plotted by ladies and gentlemen of small
dramatic training, but today to be q sue

laughter without offending the audience
