Halloween OIL Sunday

Despite the fact\ that halloween
falls on Sunday this year it may be
just as well for WATERFOWL people to
take in their front porches and the
like to avoid having them carted
away.
In England the evening is not OBJ
served as it is in America. The cele
bration in England, particularly in the
country districts, is confined to fire
side reveries. Nuts are cracked and
the children duck their heads into a
tub of water for apples. The latter
is one of the principal diversions OF
the day in English homes. At rustic
gatherings in the evening a game is
played in which a charm is looked
for in the search for the prospective
wife or husband of one of the party
The stunts the twentieth century
children arrange are usually mild in
character and they show a taste
which only culture and refinement
can produce. Jack o'lanterns will be
carved from the golden pumpkins, and
on all hallows' eve they will shine
grotesquely when the candles are
lighted within them.
The children are also boarding
away vast supplies of peas, beans and
corn, and more than one boy and girl
has leased his mother for a spool with
which to make a tick-tack

Verdict Reversed

In the county court at Jefferson
yesterday, in an action in which c.
Feinberg of Watertown was plaintiff,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railway company was defend
ant, Judge Rogers directed a verdict
for the defendant. This was an &C
ton started in Justice court by the
plaintiff for the alleged loss of goods,
baggage which was shipped from
Russia to Boston and at Boston a
ticket was purchased by plaintiffs
family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and
the gods arrived over the North
Western road at Milwaukee. A new
ticket was purchased at Milwaukee
by plaintiff for himself and family and
at the same time checks were handed
them. A portion of their baggage ar
rived but one package was missing
Search was made and at the eXpira-
ton of two months, the missing pack
age was found in the baggage room
of the North Western depot at Mil
Waukee, Wis. 1t was Immediately
shipped to Watertown over the Chi

the plaintiff was notified of its arriv-
al. Upon inspection, however, plain
tiff refused to take it, alleging that
articles to the value of $107 were
missing, and demanded payment from
the defendant of said amount. De
PENDANT refused to pay for same
claiming it was not liable for the al
legged missing goods. An action was
started in Justice Henze's court and
was tried in November, 1908, where
in the jury found for the plaintiff and
Judgment was rendered for S106.40
and $32.04 costs, in all the sum Of
$13S.44. From this judgment, defend
ant appealed to the county court Of
Jefferson county and the action was
tried with the above result.
Kading & Kading represented the
plaintiff in both courts, and Skinner
& Thauer represented the defendant
in justice court, and Skinner & Trauer
and H. J. Killilea represented the de-
PENDANT in county court. 1t is not
known whether this will settle the
matter, as plaintiff still has a right to
appeal to the supreme court.
1t is said that the fact that a
through ticket had not been purchased
made a difference under the law.

two cases in the supreme court at
Madison yesterday when the decisions
were handed down. The cases were
as follows:
State Bank of Reeseville, appellant,
VS.. Theodore Keinberger ct. al,
respondents; reversed.
This case was tried by Judge Grimm

contested the action on the ground
that the school supplies were worth
less and that the agent had mis-
represented matters to them and
further claimed that suit should have
stead of on the contract. Plaintiff
contended that the school warrant
was Illegal as it was not signed by all
the members of the board at a meet
ing as required by law, and that the
defendants were liable as they bound
themselves individually to pay for
such goods under such contract

GAINESVILLE will be the first city in

question of whether there shall be a
change in the form of city govern
ment, the old charter given up and
the newer form of rule by commission
adopted. This can be accomplished
by call of $50 citizens.
The general sentiment of the bust

fairs appears now to be that the pro-
jected plan to place GAINESVILLE under
the rule by commission form of gov
eminent will be an ideal one.

stack Of slips before him and prepared
to call the first case. Then he started,
and the spectacles toppled dangerously
from side to side. He looked with all pos
