/ Those who attended the Halloween
party given by Mr.. and Mrs.. Frank
Mast Monday night at their home Ave
miles northwest Of the city We're car
ried back to. ages ago when ghosts
fitted through the night and superan,,
witches gave their piercing screams
while watching over their black caul-
drons. The home of Mr. and Mrs
Frank Mast was enshrouded in myS-
terry. On enterting the yard witch IN
her squeaky voice said This way
please and directed them to the pitch
black cave below. Here again every
thing seemed unreal because on enter
ing your feet became useless. Pump
kins, jugs and boxes bobbed up against
them and made it difficult to proceed
into the large room. The earth literally
fell from under your feet after pass
Ing through the long black passage
You met at the stairway grinning
skeleton which lighted your way up
the stairs where you was greeted with
the hilarity Of the party. The rooms
black. cal and lighted with JACKIE
lanterns. Sweet juicy apples hung from
the ceiling and all went neck stretch
Ing to capture them. Perhaps that
which caused the most fun was bob
bling for floating apples during the
evening. Ihey tOOK Cnelr apples anu
went to the orchard where bonfire
was soon going where they all roasted
apples, after which they all got around
the pile Of burning brush and told
ghost stories. Two witches were sta
toned in the library where they all
had their fortunes told with corn for
money, after which refreshments con-
sisting Of cream and cake were served.
All hunted for the prizes that were
baked in the cake, Freda Blum re-
ceiving the rung, Bertha Arnold the
thimble. Albert Bluhm the, money. Ros
coe Marshall received the prize in the
pumpkin guessing contest. The girls
were dressed in their house dresses

AS 70 THE COST OF LIVING.

In Yesterdays Courier the merchants
~ Ottunwa advertised porterhouse
steak at twelve and half cents
Mound. eighteen to twenty POUNDS OF
eranulated sugar for dollar, bolnng
neat at ave cents pound, six loaves
Of bread for twenty-five cents and
potatoes at sixty-five to seventy-nVe
cents bushel. Potatoes were eighty
cents a bushel in 1894 and 1896 "nen
very few had work with which 10 get
money to pay for anything. And the
other prices quoted were about tue
same then as now, except that you get
more sugar for dollar today than you
did in those years.
Cakes and pies, imported can goods
and fancy cheese were also advertised
IN Yesterdays Courier. From 1893 70
1897 these delicacies were not adyer-
tIsed. In fact very few people ever
saw any at that time. These have
been added to the list by the demand
made possible by good wages.
The fact of the matter Is that ord1-
nary, plain living is about as cheap
today as it ever was, and you can go
as much higher as You want to- It IS
the same with clothes. Fifteen or
twenty years ago good clothing cost
more than it does today. A suit OF
clothes made to order those days IN
Ottumwa cost from $50 UP. Now they
are made to measure for from $15 up.
twenty-five years ago in Ottumwa a
meal cost twenty-five cents in Dennis
Sweeney's restaurant. The price today
in Ottumwa restaurants is twenty-five
cents. A sandwich is still nickle and
a ME ten cents. Shirts. under-cloth-
ing, hats and shoes can be bought at
ali prices, and the variety from which
to select is the biggest ever seen.
Now here is the cost of living propo-
sitIon as presented in Ottumwa The
Courier. has no information as to the
nrices prevailing in other cities. They
may be higher there, and they may be
lower. But the prices quoted by
Courier advertisers now. as compared

THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES.
The state senators elected this fall

The state senators elected this fall
will be called upon to vote for q
United States senator to fill the un-
expired term of the late Senator Dol
liver, and will vote for q new senator
at the expiration of that two years
term. The men elected to the Iowa
senate next Tuesday, then, will be
charged with the responsibility OF
electing two United States senators
as they are elected for terms Of four
years. This makes it important that
Chester w. Whitmore should be
elected to the state senate from Wa
pello county. The republicans Of Iowa
are charged with the responsibility OF
electing republican to succeed Sem
ator Dolliver. This constitutes q call
to arms for all republicans. The mem
bers Of the Iowa house elected this fall
will vote for senator to succeed Sem
ator Dolliver. The tenure Of office IN
the house is two years, SO the repre-
sentatives elected this fall will not
vote for a senator at the expiration
of the full Dolliver term, unless they
are reelected two years from now. 1t
is important, however, that a republic
can be elected to fill the unexpired
Deliver term. Every republican in
the county should feel in duty bound
to vote for Frank Shane for repre-
sentative in the Iowa house.
