Halloween night passed off quietly
in Madison 80 far as "depredations''
were concerned. There were a few
tip-overs and a few vehicles were
transferred from their rightful places
10 wrongful places, but no damage has
come to the attention of the police.
Plate glass windows in Egan avenue
were generally ornamensed with signs
written with soap, but they were all
in decorous language. and caused
only a few impatient words by clerks
who removed them this morning. 1t
is evident that Madison boys are be-
coming less inclined from year to year
to perpetrste unseemly acts on Hsllow.
cen night.
The Daily Leader last evening ad-
vertised a Knights Templar watch
charm found and this morning restored
its to it's owner, G. E. Kennedy. While
at his farm a few days ago the charm
was accidentally torn from the chain
and Mr.. Kennedy placed it in his vest
pocket to be attached at some future
time. Thinking no more about it,
and as he was reading the Daily Leader
last evening he came across the found
advertisement. Leisurely examining
his pocket for his charm he discovered
its absence, much to bis establishment.
This morning he called at this Office
and claimed the ornament.

Halloween wal observed last g
ing by n number OF social parties in
the city. and many ~promenaders in
costume called at the homes of their
friends. A bevy of little girls in
ghostly costumes crept upon the porch
of a home in West Eighth street and
commenced a series of wierd noises cal
culated to give a timid person the
creeps. The porch light was turned
on and the bunch of sci enaders IN
their white gowns and masked faces
presented q tableau which vas worth
the price. But ghosts have no use
for electric lights and their scamper-
ing for dark places was worth an
other price.
