Like all apostrophes, there are two things it might be doing: indicating ownership, or signalling the absence of some letters. Since there are letters other than S following it, the apostrophe here is to replace some letters, or a letter.

Here, it signals the absence of the letter D; the correct and whole spelling is 'madam'.

Where to put the apostrophe in the word its?

The word "its" does not require an apostrophe when indicating possession, as in "The dog chased its tail." However, "it's" with an apostrophe is a contraction for "it is" or "it has," as in "It's going to rain today." To determine whether to use the apostrophe, consider whether you mean possession (no apostrophe) or a contraction (with apostrophe).
