YOUTHFUL FRANKS
 ALL OVER THE CITY
LOWEEN AND MANY ARTICLES WILL BE FOUND OUT OF PLACE THIS MORNING

Gateess fences, ringless door bells and torn and bedragged sheets tell the tale
 Last night was Halloween and numer- GUS witches or wizards in the form of small boys, were out for the annual carousal. No part of the city according to reports, was spared little excitement though the fun amounted to nothing serious and few complaints were heard at police headquarters.
 The track greasers on South Twentieth street hill failed to get in their usual effective work, thanks to the vigilance of street car men and watchmen employed by the street railway company. There will be no dearth of missing gates this morning, however, and an endless va riety of small boy inventions for mischief will come to light. There were tick tacks" on many a front door last night, contrivance consisting of swinging brick with a string attached, and the dents in the polished surfaces will speak eloquently of their efficiency. The trees in the public parks will be decked with benches this morning if the lesson of the past be taken as prophetic, and count less other things will be found out of their places.
 A horde of small boys infested Fifth avenue last night. but "hangins means ketchin' ' was their slogan and they went unpunished. The same was true of every other locality, but nobody expected boys to be anything but boys and their petty misdemeanors were condoned

INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT FIRES

sibe to turn in the alarm by box in- stead of over the telephone. The box is mechanical and there is no possibility of mistake.
 Chief Bennett wishes to emphasize the need of distinct speaking when an alarm Is turned in over the telephone. In the majority of alarms received in this way the person speaking is so excited that he is understood with difficulty, g- which often renders a second call necessary.
 It is surprising, states the chief, how many fires 'could be avoided by the smallest amount of caution. One of the most important rules in his estimation is the cleaning of fues Numbers of fires sta from the flues and by clean ing they they could be avoided. It is a common practice also to put ashes in wooden receptacles.
 The pay roll for the fire department was made out yesterday and amounted to little over $13,Oo0. This includes the salaries only of the firemen and the offi- cials.
 . There were two fires on the South High lands yesterday, but both were extin- guished with practically no damage.

Chief Bennett of the fire department has issued the following directions to the public for turning in fire alarms and preventing fires;
 "rhe number of the fire department is 545, either telephone.
 when turning in an alarm over the phone talk distinctly and do not become excited.
 When the fire Is on the Southside and beyond Avenue l, state whether 1t is south or north. This is to avoid con- fusion between the numbered avenues on the north and south sides.
 "Clean out the fiues thoroughly before beginning the winter fires.
 Under no circumstances put ashes in a wooden receptacle.
 DO not pile coal above the top of the grate, especially when leaving the house .
 "Attenton to these details will prevent many fires we are called upon to extin- guish," said Chief Bennett last night

 At the special sittings only those will be registered who have not had an op- portunity to register at one of the regular sittings held previously this fall. Sickness. minority and temporary absence from the county are some of the excuses acceptable for failure to register at the regular biennial sit tings.

Mr.. Bryan on His Alleged Defeat.

Mr.. Bryan on His Alleged Defeat.
Bryan's Commoner says:
The Nebraska Democratic State
Convention refused, by vote of CAT
to 1913, to endorse county option and
this has been heralded over the coun
try as a defeat for Mr.. Bryan. Let
all the facts be known: About May
/ Mr.. Bryan urged the calling of a
special session of the legislature to
submit the initiative and referendum.
He stated that by the submission OF
the initiative and referendum the
county option fight could be post
poned for two years. He failed to Sc
cure the special session. Then he
announced himself in favor of an ell
dorsement of county option as the
only way to break the hold OF the
liquor interests and insure the sub
mission of the initiative and referen-
dunn.
As a result of his fight the Re-
publicans endorsed the initiative and
referendum, thus making it certain
that it will be submitted at the COM
ing session of the legislature (the
Democrats and Populists also having
endorsed it,. This is a victory fol
the reform for which he has contend
ed for fourteen years. He can af-
ford to be turned down on county
option if he can make sure of the
initiative and referendum.
But the Democratic convention de-
feated, by a vote of 63S to 2O2
plank declaring against county option
and Governor Shallenberger announc
ed at the convention that he would
sign a county option bill. Since the
Republicans and Populists have de
clared for county option and the
Democrats have refused to declare
against it, the chances are largely II
favor of the passage of a county op
ton bill. 1t will be seen, therefore
that Mr.. Bryan has reason to rejoic'
over the progress made in Nebraska
1t matters little what is done to him
he can be happy so long as the thing
he is fighting for win-and they ar
winning in Nebraska.

Joe Vending is perhaps guilty OF
the atrocious murder of little Alma
Kellner, but that has yet to be prov
en-, and the law does not deem a man
guilty until his guilt is confirmed
If he his guilty, no punishment is too
severe. Anyhow, that horde OF
Louisville private citizens who went
out to meet the fugitive en- route and
put him through a grilling cross-ex-
animation in advance of trial, had no
right, legal or civil, to do so. Any
accused criminal is due fairness IN
the premises, but the treatment OF
Vending by these men was a traves-
ty upon justice.

Next to the wife-beater comes the
horse beater, and it is to be regret
ted that the latter are quite as prev
alent as the former. A man who
will brutally beat his horse, COW or
any dumb brute, would do the same
to a human creature, if the law or the
neighbors didn't step in quicker to
the rescue. Such fiendishness is un-
worthy any man with the instincts
of humanity and a disgrace to the
neighborhood in which he lives. A
whip is often necessary in handling
dumb brutes, but kindness seldom
fails to win over the club.
