On several nights the past week peo-
pie in different parts of the city have
fallen over wires stretched across the
sidewalks In various parts of town, some
OF them being severely bruised by their
fall. This is very dangerous pastime
for boys to indulge in, as should an old
person happen to stumble over the
wires they would be seriously injured
Marshal Pryor has been watching for
the perpetrators but they shift the
scene of their operations each night
and it is impossible for an officer to be
all over town at the same time. One
thing however is certain, and that is II
the boys are caught at this work they
will be severely dealt with.

King Davis City loses one of her most
prominent citizens one who has done a
great deal for the town, always being al
the head of every town enterprise. Mr..
King came to Decatur county in 1874
locating in Leon, where he studied law,
being admitted to the bar in 1879. In
the spring of 1884 he removed to Davis
City and engaged in the practice of his
profession. He served as mayor Of
Davis City fol eight terms and was elect.

see them leave. We commend them tc

One of the most pleasant social events
ever given in Leon was the masquerade
party given by the Rathbone Sisters and
knights of Pythias at their hall last
Wednesday evening. The large hall
was filled with masquers and those who
were not masked had gay time trying
to discover the identity of the various
persons. Music was furnished by the
X. P. Orchestra and, Mandolin Club.
The ladies served refreshments and
cleared in the neighborhood of $50 dur
ing the evening. 1t is to be hoped the
ladies of this order will give the public
an opportunity to attend more of their
entertainments.
When the voter goes to the polls next
November to cast his ballot for his
choice of candidates, he will not be
bothered with the scarcity of material
from which to choose, as there will be
plenty of names on the ticket, which is
much larger than any other ever voted
since the Inauguration of the Australian
system. The ticket this year will con-
tain the names of thirteen presidential
nominees and their electors and al.
though eachi separate column will not
be filled out entirely, it will occupy Just
as much space, as blanks will have to be
left where no name appears. The Off
cial ballot when spread out before the
sovereign citizen, who is about to mark
thei con his choice of candidates, will be
about as large as a blanket. The un.
lucky number 10 will have baleful in.
huence on one of the parties, or twelve
of them for that matter.
