The large city of Guanajuto was
flooded by tremendous waterspout,
which did fearful damage. The
waterspout burst at point mile

A wild panic ensued in the theater.

Minneapolis Excited Over a Waste of
Water.
MINNEPoLIs, June 8.-There is
much excitement ill The city this
evening over the disclosure of a dis
covery made this afternoon that q
volume of 10000 gallons of water
per minute is escaping from the wa
ter power of st. Anthony falls, from
an unknown scource. The aldermen
and the Government engineer and
city engineer have various theories
regarding it, and the opinion is ex-
pressed by authorities that a new
sewer being constructed above the
falls is responsible for the water
waste, and there is a probability
that work will be stopped thereon.
Some theorists hold that the Henri
pin county lakes are being drained
through subterrranean channel.
Minnetonka is one Of the lakes in
the chain. The Government en-
glneer, however, expresses no ap.
preaension of danger to the falls by
the escape of water power. Own.
ers, mill men aud citizens generally
are greatly aeitated.

Tur Tacoma Chamber Of Com

The Tacoma Chamber OF Com
MERGE has borrowed $4,000 in New
York with which to prosecute build
ing enterprises. If our own people
would adopt some means of placing
themselves in communication with
Eastern capital, they would not have
to pay from one to one and half
per cent. per month to our local
Shylocks. The hint might be taken
from the fruga!ity of the First Ma
tional Bank, of Olympia, which en-
ploys Eastern workmen to print its
check, and other blanks used in
business. 1t saves few dollars to
the h,ukins company annually, and
if this Is a good reason for infiuenc-

men:

men:
FoR two years past Olympia has justly
boosted of her Public Schools and of the
systematic and competent manner in
which they had been carried forward
A change has come over the spirit of our
dreams. The friends of education, seeing
all going along 50 nicely, grew careless
and when the time came TO elect Director
10 succeed Rev. ID. Ba%lcy, the people,
WHO were most interested gave no atten-
ton whatever, and let the election go by
default and the result was the election of
Il crank, Il malc0ntcnt, an enemy of
free schools, an enemy to churches, an en-
envy to all moral institutions and an en-
envy to Professionalism; a selrcomplacent
egOtist, whose own shadow hides all else
This tyrannical malcontcnt Immediately
created trouble in the board Of Directors
trouble with the teachers, trouble with
everything: and the result is our Public
Schools are all closed, with no hope So
far rs we can see Of any better state of
affairs for the next two years, AS it has
been clearly demonstrated, that one deter
mined enemy of good can create a vast
amount of trouble, and that is where
Olympia Graded District now stands.
