The PIanter,s WIG.

The play selected by the WILDER COM
pany for the opening of their weeks en-
gagement at the Olympia theater is "The
Planters Wife" The Leavenworth (Kas.)
Times says of their production of this
piece: "Ihe WILDER company appeared at
the opera house last night in the successful
comedy drama "The Planters Wife, and
the performance was a finished one in
every respect. The theater was crowded,
and while the audience was at first dis.
posed to be coldly critical, the strong situa-
dons, the crisp, clever dialogue, and above
all, the strong human interest in the play
soon awoke its enthusiasm. The plot Of
''The Planters Wife" is of timely and alb
sorbing interest, and the fun is honest,
merry, straightforward mirth. The char
acters at which we laugh are each and all
thoroughly essential to the development of
the plot, and as such, they are more than
welcome, The piece Is well cast, and is in
the hands Of pleasing and competent
PLAYERS.

ing by Actor Curtis.
SAN FRANcIsco, September 19.-The
Examiner this morning says the missing
witness in the case of M. B. Curtis, the
actor, charged with the killing of Police
man Alexander Grant on the night of

gagged in business at Fortuna, Humboldt

Cam says that while going home that
night his attention was attracted by
scuffie between the officer and a man.
Having been an officer in Idaho, Cam
states that he watched the proceedings
with interest, and Icing near by, on the OPP
posite side of the street, was able to dis
tinguish both parties scuffiing. As the
arrested man persisted in refusing to ac.
company the officer the latter placed
the nippers on the right hand and
attempted to pull the man along. The
| prisoner then reached behind him with his
left hand, and pulling a pistol from his
pocket shot the policeman from across his
breast. AS the officer fell the prisoner
shot him again and ran. Cam says he did
not tell the police what he had seen, as he
| had bought ticket to leave San Francisco
on the steamer the next day, and being
short of funds did not wish to be detained
He was finally tracked by detectives to
Fortuna and summoned to appear at the
second trial of Curtis on the 26th instant.
Cam, who is a man of seventy years of
age and of large proportions, is being kept
secluded by the detectives.

The Details.

SEATTLE, Sept. 19.-The new steamer
Monticello recently built by Capt. q. ].
Hatch, Of Olympia, met with an accident
to her boilers. About an hour and a half

morning trip, the steamer which plies
between this city and Port Angeles, blew
out her boiler tubes. The escaping steam
which followed seriously scalded Ed Folli-
hee, fireman, whose home is at Clallam
bay, and Chief Engineer Edwin Peake.
The first named received the full force of
the escaping steam in the breast, face, arms
and hands. The latter had his hands and
face scalded. The tug Mogul, which was
near at hand, went to the aid of the dis
abled steamer. and brought her back to
this city. Follihee was removed to
Providence Hospital. 1t is believed that
he cannot recover. Peake's wounds were
dressed on the boat. The steamer had lust
left the dry dock before starting out. It

happened to her a few weeks ago, but
without such serious result. She will be
repaired here.

FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Celebrated OPticIah Must leave
for New York This Week.

Professor Seward will positively leave
Olympia this week. The indications are
that he will not be able to accommodate
all who desire to secure his services in ad-
justing his superior glasses, but if those
who intend to call will do so as early in the
week as possible the professor will thereby
be enabled to serve a goodly number.
Professor Seward will make a test of the
sight of all who call and in all cases where
the work can't be finished this week the
glasses will be sent from Tacoma, where
stop of four days will be made before 60
ing to Walla Walla. This will be the last
opportunity offered to the citizens of
Olympia, and those who do not take adVan-
tage of the opportunity will certainly re-
gret it when too late. In addition to the
large number of ordinary nearsighted and
farsighted eyes Professor Seward has sue
cessfully corrected over fifty cases of COM
pound stigmatism in Olympia; this is the
most difficult and expensive work in optics
and not single case has been reported
dissatisfied. Ten cases Of headaches have
been reported cured.
Professor Seward does not treat diseased
eyes and makes no charge for consultation
If he can not do you any good he will not
accept any fee. If you need glasses ad-
lusted, and value your eyesight, call on
Professor Seward at the Olympia hotel be-
fore it is too late.

. / had looked forward with much inter
est to the great rehearsal in Washington
next Tuesday, of the victorious march of
'65. / would have esteemed it one of the
highest hOnOrs of my public life TO have
welcomed to the national capitol and to
have received in its historic avenue this
representative assembly of men who not
only saved the city from the threatened
destruction, but made it worthy political
capital of the unbroken union. It would
also have been one of the most favored and
tender incidents of my private life to have
taken these comrades again by the hand,
but all this has been denied me by the in
tervention of a sad imperative duty and |
can only ask you to give to all, my cordial
greetings and good wishes. Accept my
sincere thanks for your very kind and
sympathetic message.
(Signed) BENJAMIN HARRISON.
A prominent feature on the grounds is a
model of the old war vessel Kearsarge.
Some portions of the original vessel, such
as the rudder post, port holes and dead
latch being from the old vessel itself. The
dedication of the grand army place was pre-
ceded by parade of the members of the
regular army and navy and was of special
interest to the veterans, atfOrding an Op-
portunity to contrast the arms and accou-
trements now in use with those carried
during the late war. The procession con-
sisted of five brigades, including the troop
of the regular army naval batteries, and
the marines of the district national guard
posts of the army of the Potomac g. A. r.
and sons of veterans. The procession
marched from Second street up Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the treasury building,
where it was reviewed by Vice President
Morton, and thence to the grand army
place.
WASHINGTON, September 19.-After the
parade, Vice President Morton was es-
cOrted to Grand Army Place and was re-
ceived with a salute from the guns of the
Kearsarge. He took his place on the
stand beside COmmander-in-Chief Palmer.
Prayer was offered by Chaplain-in-Ch
Payne, of Florida. Then General Palmer
delivered his Introductory address.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Twenty-six years
ago loyal organization known as the
Grand Army of the Republic was formed
with B. F. Stephenson, of Illinois, as the
first commander. Since then yearly re.
unions Of the men who sought to preserve
the union have occurred, but never in
this city since the close of the war of the
rebellion till today. For days, grizzled
comrades have been gathering from every
part OF the Union until the attendance
surpasses anything ever before seen in
Washington. All hotels, tented camps,
schoolhouses and large numbers of private
residences are thrown open to them,
crowded with men who defended the capi-
tai against the invasion of the dark days
of fraternal strife. Every available re-
source is drawn on, and in spite of the vast
throng, everybody is cared for, sheltered
and fed.
As the hours of night wore by, the hustle
and stir which characterized the day and
evening subsided, the statement Cali quiet
on the Potomac" became as true as in the
days when some of these same patriots
slept on their arms under the sky on the
banks of the historic river Today broke
bright and pleasant and the sun mounted
in the east with genial warmth like that of
the early autumn or belated summer. It
was just the day for going out and enjoy
ing life outdoors. The camps were astir
early and after ablutions and breakfast
were attended to the visitors were ready to
enjoy the day. The decorations of the city
were elaborate and tasteful throughout
but along the historic Pennsylvania ave-
nue., from the capitol building to Twenty
second street, along which the
Union armies marched with SER
vice worn uniforms and battle Scared
flags at the close of the war, they were par
ticularly brilliant. The public buildings
received special care in this regard and the
White House and treasury department are
conspicuOusly beautiful and elaborate
The feature of the day is the Inauguration
and dedication of the Grand Army Place, as
it is called. Its magnificent stretch of
green sWard lies Just south of the White
House grounds. On this, tents and stands
have been laid out in a reproduction of the
closing campaign of the war, with Rich
mOnd in the center, surrounded by groups
of tents, representing the various army
corps which assisted to wind up the war.
