THAT NAPHTHA CAR.
Not Safe Mode of Transit Why SAY.
ages Charter Should be Forfeited.


George Marvin Savage seems to forget
something in trying to run naphtha mo-
tor through the streets of Olympia" /" said
well known citizen this morning.
Section of the ordinance granting the
Olympia street railway company it's fran
ehise says, said railways may be operated
by cable, electricity and any other ap-
proved motive power. except that no steam
motor shall be used without the consent
of the city council, and the city of Olym-
pia hereby reserves the right to compel
said company to use safe and approved
motive power and forbid the use of animal
power upon the whole or any part of said
railways."' ~
mo one will pretend to say that
naphtha, used to propel street car is a
safe and approved motive power"
Again, section 6, Of his franchise, saws
the owners or lessees of the said road shall
plank outside of the rails for Is inches and
keep such planking in good repair. The
company has failed to do this It did put
a ten-inch plank outside the rails.
"Section3 says that the track shall be
laid even with the esta blished grade of the
street. That has not been adhered to, no
tably at Fifth and Main streets.
SIN fact the franchise ought to have
been forfeited long ago. It is now an OBJ
| struction and nuisance IN the path of
/ progress -

THE CITY COUNCIL.
John R. Mitchell Asserts His
RIGHT to Office.

An Amicable Settlement Between
the TWO halfway Companies
Looked for--T. N. Ford's Elec-
tton Declared Null.
Owing to a conference yesterday after
noon between the officers Of the Olympia
Light & Power Company and President
Savage, of the Olympia street railway, the
subject of locating the tracks Of the former
company was not considered by the city
council last evening. A compromise is
pending, which will probably result in the
purchase by the Light & Power company
of the present obstacle.
John r. Mitchell served notice ON the
council in which he insisted upon his title
to the office of city attorney, claiming to
be the only person legally elected to the
office and entitled to the salary. Upon a
motion by Councilman Springer the notice
was tabled.
City Attorney a. P. Fitch rendered his
report upon the election of police justice,
which was referred to him at the last meet
ing. When r. N. Ford received the ma

eligibility to the office, owing to the fact
that a proper construction Of the law pro
vides that police justice can only be Sc
lected from legally elected and qualified
justice of the peace. Mr.. Fitch construed
the law in this light and accompanied his
report with a resolution declaring the ac-
ton of the council in electing Mr.. Ford, to
be null and void. The resolution was
adopted.
City Treasurer Chilbero informed the
council that he is preparing a warrant call
amounting to $4,000, and stating that il
warrants are paid in the order Of their issue
the amount would include about $500.
of special street improvement warrants
He said he would be able to state the exact
sum of the letter on Monday next, and the
council decided to hold a meeting on Tues
day to consider whether such special war
rahts are to be paid out of the general funC
or not.
A request from Maple park owners tina
that street be graded, was referred to The
street committee.
Street Commissioner Messegee was di
rected to finish the grading of Frankli1
street, the cost to be deducted from The
amount claimed by Tim Stapleton on the
contract.

THE Alliance leaders and a greai
many of the Alliance privates, have
said both to the Democrats and the
Republicans, "if you don't do so and
soft you don't give us the free coin
age of silver, for instance-aud that
quick-thousands upon top Of thOus-
ands will leave your ranks" OI
course the gentlemen doing the talk
ing were always good Democrats
themselves-or good Republicans
They were trying their almightiest
to "hold the boys" but "the boys"
were getting fearfully mad and hard
to I'D aud were sure to break loose
''if you don't do so and So" Now it
appears from the signs of the times
that neither of the old parties are pay
ing the slightest attention to these
patriots who are holding the boys.
Some people are even wicked enough
to insinuate that the boys are hold
ing the patriots. However that may
be, the old parties will say to these
patriots and their boys, your princi-
pies and ours do not agree; the
Peoples Party is the only party that
has or will endorse your demands,
and that is where you belong. We
have tried to reason with you until
you made US tired. We now very
respectfully request you not to bother
us any more with your demands;
turn the boys loose; and boys, turn
the patriots loose; aud take your
selves and your demands to the
Peoples Party, where you belong and
where you and your demands will be
recognized. Your consideration"
for your old party is worn threadbare.
We are tired, we are Disguised, we
are a-weary of your pnarisaical signs
smite your breast and cry ialoud, but
you have gone square back on the
political faith of your fathers. You
will please, therefore, get out of our
house aud into the house you have
builded with your own hands. When
you have tried this Home of the
Hoodlums for a season, no doubt
your remorse will be sincere. Then
you may come back, and like the
prodigal son will be forgiven. But
until then, ia! ia! This is what the
old parties, by their acts, are saying
to the various and sundry demand
makers. In addition to this the
Democrats are saying, we are going
to nominate Honest Grover, for
President of these United States. If
you don't want to vote for him, don't |
do 1t, we will have enough and to
spare without you.

GENERAL NEWS.

The main building of the State Uni
versity of Missouri was destroyed by
fire last Saturday night, causing a loss
of 100000. One of the literary societies
of the University had arranged to give
an entertainment in the chapel, and
the audience had just assembled when
the smell of smoke attracted general at
tention. Investigation discovered the
fact that fire had started in the library,
directly above the chapel and was
burning fiercely. The village fire de-
partment could not cope with the
flames and they confined their efforts
to saving the adjoining buildings, il
which they were successful. The main
building was completely destroyed and
only small portion of the contents
were saved. The loss is 100000, and
the insurance $4,000. The entire Ii
brsry, consisting of 10000 volumes, was
wholly destroyed.
Track laying on the Paducah, Tonnes
see and Alabama railroad has been

This new route will shorten the time
between Nashville and Paducah, about
three hours.
A severe snow storm has prevailed in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Rail
way travel was delayed, and many set
tiers suffered from the cold, as fuel is
scarce.
