On Halloween it has been the
practice to indulge in very
rough amusements, and to play So
called Jokes and tricks that amount
to malicious mischief, which are
punishable in the courts. Throwing
SCOT, flour, corn, cabbage, and other
articles; stealing shutters and gates,
may seem very funny to those who
indulge in it, but they are very an
noying to the victims and it ought
to be prevented. Chief Knorr gives
notice that anyone caught engaging
in any rough or injurious acts will
be arrested. An example made of
one or two will put stop to it.

There was great excitement at
the Opera House Saturday evening,
although the audience was in ignor-
ance of it until it was all over. To
produce the proper effect in the
tableaux at the end of the first act,
colored lights were used. In burn
ing the powder one of the assistant
stage hands thoughtlessly poured
too much of it out at one time. The
consequence was that the ere pan
became so hot that he could not
hold it. The blaze was communi-
Gated to some drapery nearby and
in an instant one whole scene was
on fire. Paul Harman and w. H.
Coffman who stood on the opposite
side of the stage rushed across and
securing the hose which is kept for
such contingencies, succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the blaze before any
serious damage was done. II. c,
Jones, AN attache of the Opera House,
is also deserving of credit for the
manner in which he conducted him
self during the excitement. 1t was
he who turned on the water and he
! also assisted in keeping back the
many little folks who were on the
stage at the time. Mr.. Harman
and Mr.. Coffman are the only ones
who were any the worse for the ac-
cident, they had their hands slightly
burned. 1t was close call, because
had the alarm of fire been given,
with the building filled as it was
with people panic would have re-
! suited.
