The boys who lake delight in Hal

large numbers last night when they
were out on their annual visit to the
side streets and back alleys during
the part of the night when Hamlet
says church yeards yawn and hell

The police this year determined to
restrain the boy with a determine
ton to destroy property, and were in
a large measure successful
No very great trouble was anticl-
pated for Cairo has been unusually
free from serious depradations in for
mer years and the youth of the city
do not seem to have the peculiar sense
of humor which considers it good
joke to destroy property and cause
people an actual loss. Last year there
were very few reports of property de-
struction of any considerable amount.
S cial events were the order of the
day, or rather of the night. The old
custom of getting out and tearing up
jack on the night is becoming a thing
of the past, and Halloween parties
are taking the place of the more pre-
carious amusement. People are be-
ginning 70 look up means Of entertain

many good citizen will awaken this
morning to find his gate gone and pos.

signs were exchanged Numerous
wagons were moved from one place to
another but no property, as far as
could be learned, was seriously in
