THE CIGARETTE LAw.-The new
cigarette law is now in force, and it is
unlawful to use tobacco in this FORM
Doubtless attempts will be made to
break down the law. Upon this point
Assistant Attorney General Haight
says: al am of the opinion that the
law is constitutional, except as to the
sale of original packages, if imported
cigarettes, still in the hands of the
importer. There will doubtless be
strenuous efforts to secure adjudica-
ton that the retail packages are
original packages, but am satisfied it
will be difficult, if not impossible,
practically, for this contention to be
| be sustained"
RE-INsTATED.-The case of John X.
Mitchell vs.. the City of Olympia has
been replaced on the docket for trial.
1t relates to the contest for the Office
of City Attorney Mitchell. claiming
that he was legally elected, and that
he had qualified in accordance with
law, when afterwards Mr.. Linn was
endorsed for the Office by the Council
and recognized as the City Attorney.
Judge Irwin dismissed the case be-
cause action had not been brought dur
ing the contested term in which Linn
held the Office. He now, on motion OF
Messrs. Skillman and Root, who repre-
sent Mr.. Mitchell, reverses his ruling
and grants a new trial.
LAID UP FOR REPAIRs.-A. H.
Christopher, who left this city last
week to travel the entire distance to
the Worlds Fair on bicycle, arrived
at Spokane Saturday night. rather the
worse Tor wear. In fording the We
natche river, lie lost the seat to his
wheel, and had to extemporize one out
OF his coat, but it was SO uncomforta-
BILE and its effects 80 lasting that when
he rested it was noted he preferred to
do so standing than to assume a sitting
posture. He arrived at Spokane with
a sprained knee, which has compelled
him to lay off for time, so he took
the train for Genesee, Idaho, where he
will remain few days before resum.
ing his journey.
The CITY VAULT.-The new city
vault is about finished and will be
ready for occupancy within a few
days. 1t is very substantial struc-
ture with heavy, thick walls. Ample
accommodation will be afforded in it
for all the valuables OF the city, and in
case of fire everything would be pro.
tected. The Council chamber will be
cleaned and kalsomined and other inn
prOvements made for the comfort and
accommodation of the worthy alder
men. Pending these repairs and i'm
provements the Council has been u.s.

Office in that room.
A WISE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF our
theater-goers who contemplated get
ting up an excursion to Tacoma,
Wednesday night, to see Richard
Mansfield, very wisely, we think,
changed their minds and abandoned
the trip. If our community, in the
aggregate, cannot afford patronage
that would induce the actor to visit
this city, he may be fairly regarded as
too erich" for our blood. The fact is
that his appearance is not worth the
guaranty he demands for it, nor is the
privilege of witnessing his performance
worth the cost to those who attend
from distance. II others would act
