Madison Topics.

Madison, December 31.-"Ring out the
old, ring in the new." Christmas, with
it's drunkenness, dancing, fighting and
frolicing, is over. Oh, my God, when
will the people stop this way of cele-
brating the Lords day.
Not long since overheard two young
men talking about the intended dances
for Christmas and one of them made the
remark II must get me some whiskey
for the dances. can't half Swing
unless am about half or whole Shot"
Girls, why do you still contend and go
to dancing and "swing" (as this young
man calls i0 with men when they admit
themselves they can't dance unless they
are under the influence of whiskey !? 1t
is astonishing. If there is a single bit of
good in dancing will some enc please
point IL out to me? can show you
several points of harm and danger in it.
Not long since was standing in drug
store door in one of our most up-to-date
towns, talking to friend, when several
young ladies passed down the street.
And l made the remark that did not
know the town afforded such beautiful
girls. "Oh, yes" replied my friend,
they are all regular attendants at the
ball room aud skating rink" Further
he said, eff wanted wife I would go
long way before | would marry one of
these kind of girls" Girls, if you want
to be respected by the young men, stay
away from such places. But enough of
this; nevertheless if the "cap" fits you
put it on.
In the death Of Capt VIM. D. Deaton,

highly respected citizens. Capt Deaton
lived to ripe old age, and leaves many
friends and relatives to mourn his death.
The many friends of Samuel McJun-
kins will regret to learn of his serious

RAIN PREVENTS
/. FINISH OF RACES
Mcfarland and Downing Tie in
Single Heat Run of
Match Race.

Rain prevented the finish Of the bicycle
races at the saucer track last evening.
The threatening weather cut the crowd
down to a mere handful, but the races
were started in spite of the attendance.
when rain itself put in an appearance and
stopped proceedings.
The mile open amateur was finished,
however, and one heat of the Downing
Mcfarland race before the big drops be-
gan to fail. This heat of the match race
resulted in a dead heat Mcfarland led
all the way, and lap and a half from
home Downing came out from behind and
''shooed' Mcfarland on. Hardy at once
dropped behind to take pace, and on the
last half lap started around. He gained
just enough on Mcfarland to make il a
tie as they crossed the tape.
In the final of the mile open amateur
four of the riders went down beyond the
ten-yard mark. Hume was included IN
this bunch and remounted his wheel and
finished last by a lap. Deffenbacher won
the race in easy fashion, Giles second and
Wright third; time 2:07 40
At this juncture the rain began to ap-
pear, and rain checks were issued for a
postponed meeting to be held this even
ing It was announced last evening that
a two-mile handicap professional would be
the feature of next Friday nights pro-
gram.
