OLYMPIA, w. T., Nov. 4.-Most of the
members of the legislature are here and all
the senatorial candidates have opened head
quarters. Everybody supposed that the
legislature would meet Wednesday as
provided in the constitution, but
this morning telegram was
read from President Harrison
saying that the certificate attached to the
official copy Of the constitution sent him
was technically incomplete, not having
been signed by the territorial governor.
The ceruihcate of the vote on the consti-
tuition is all right, being signed by the
governor and secretary of the territory,
but the constitutional certificate lacks the
governors signature.

There Is bold sneak thief operating
here for whom II would be we'll for
housekeepers to- keep q sharp lookout.
He Is spare, middle. aged man with Light
reddish hair and light moustaehe, He Ia
neatly dressed and wears black overcoai
with q fur COLLAR.
On Saturday afternoon, he entered the
boarding house Of Miss Mize, No. 402
East Fourth street and had reaobed the
second floor whers he was met by the
lady OF the house who inquired his buai-
ness. The fellow stsmmered out that he
was looking for Mr.. Butler, who boarded
with her, but % no such man lived there,
he was summsrily ordered to leave. Bun
day afternoon shortly before 8 O'Clock.
he had the enrontery to enter the same
boarding house but his scheme was
nipped in the bud by meeting the land.
lady in the hallway and he left without
assistance when she called on some Of her
boardere to eject him.
The fellow must have gone Immediately
to the boarding house OF Mrs. Nehemiah
Davis, at No. 406 Fast Fourth street, only
two doors below where, however, he was
more successful. He boldly walked into
the hallway where he met Mrs. Davis
niece, a young lady. The latter thought
II was one OF the boarders, although she
went aud inquired II the intruder
answered. the description of one OF their
bosrders. The fellow avoided facing her
and hurriedly entered the psrlor. The
young lady returned to the sitting room
where she procured her hat and accom-
panied by friend, left the house. As ehe
went cut the hallway, she looked into the
parlor to see II the man was still there,
but the latter had disappeared. He must
have gone upstairs while the young lady
was after her hat.
After reaching the upper floors the i'm
pudent thief went from room to roam
despite the presence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis and numerous members OF the family
and boardera In tho house. He entered
the bed room Of Mrs. Davis, who Was
lying awake on her bed, but thinking
that II was Mr.. Davis, she paid no atten.
ton to him. After ransaoking this room
he happened to enter the room OF q
bosrder who was at home. This did mot
discomfort him. He greeted the occupant
of the room Familiarity with "How de
do" and wave Of the hand. He then
entered the room OF the Young lady
where he gathered all his booty,
a gold watch belonging to Mrs.. Davis,
solid gold ring, handsome shawl, silk
handkerchief aud child's purse contain,
ing some change. He entered several
other rooms aud rsnBacked them, but
nothing more has been missed. He then
quietly wrapped his goods into one
bundle aud walked ont the front door
again. Nobody In the house saw him
leave, but Mrs. Underwood, next door
neighbor, saw him come out Of the house
with the bundle and also. thought thGt ne
must be boarder. The thief walked
down Poplar street, which is the last that
was seen OF him. He is supposed to be
the sumo man who stole coat from Mrs.

THE oAsP PoSBs ar COOL SPRING


PeculitLrities of tls Ponds and the
Development OF the Young Carp.
The result in regard TO the German
carp placed in the fiah ponds at Cool
Spring Park last 0stotier are very pecu.
liar. 1t will be remembered that ,here
ere three ponds in thu shape OF tfefoil,
toe two upper ones draining into the
lower one. The ponds have ruperfoisl
area OF about 1000 square feet, The
depth of the two upper ones being about
y feat EnG the lover one feet. This is
tne depth suitable for the propagation Of
carp. One of the uppsr ponds is fed
from R1dEey springs and the other from
COOL Spring springs. The tsmperslurs Of
course is slwaSs several degrees lover
than the water in either of the reservoirs.
Orp have been placed in only one of the
upper ponds and the lower one. About
one-half of the 500 carp have died, but
the survivors are very strong and Justly
and have gown in some instances to 8
inches in length, "a fact which Is extremely
satisfactory to Dr.. Shortlidge, who placed
the fry there from the fsh hatchery.
A curious and very Troublesome fact In
regard to the three ponds Is that in the
two upper ones one is continuously GOV
cred with green aquatic fungus and the
other with brown fungus OF perfsctly
distinctive features. The workmsn even
in the present season when it would be
supposed that the fungus would have
climatic difficulty in development, find
its growth ia so vigorous that they have
to rake it oft the ponds two or three times
q day. In the lower pond the turfacs
gives the diversified appearance of both
brown and green fungus, The latter has
the features o. true vegetable growth
while the brown specimen is more like
dust.
