in an adjoining column should be read
carefully by every citizen of this town.

mote public good" 1t is the work on
these lines that counts.

THESPIAN'S TEMPLE.
Stock Nearly All Subscribed for the
Pullman Opera House.
The Company to Incorporate With A
Capital Stock OF $4,000.

The projectors of the Pullman opera
house scheme have been hard at work
during the past week, and as result of
their labors nearly the entire amount Of
stock has been subscribed, and a few
days more will complete the list and
work on the structure will be COM
menced.
1t is OF the utmost Importance that
the opera house be erected at once as
there will be greater demand for it now
than at any other season of the year,
and to make it a paying institution
from the start work should be started
Immediately, and we hope there will be
no difficulty in raising the remaining
few hundreds OF stock Nearly every
business man in Pullman is becoming
interested in the matter, and each is
subscribing more or less stock. 1t is
expected that the building with furni-
ture will cost $4,000, and the rental
will pay good interest on that amount.
f. d. Richardson has played leading
role in circulating the stock subscrip-
ton list, and has done excellent work,
and will be pleased to have any, who
may wish few shares, to call on him
and add their name to the paper. Lend
your aid in this matter, and Pullman
will in short time be the Mecca
toward which all theatrical companies
will travel.

OLYMPIA, Jan. l2.--Prof Scobey' for
merly of the agricultural college, We'd
nesday filed with Governor Ferry the
following protest.:
Y To bis E4cellencY, f, p. Foxy, Gov
srnor, Sir: hereby protest againt the
nomination OF Andrew II, Smith and j.
H. Bellinger as regents of the agricultu-
raj college and school of science for the
following reasons, towit The said A.
II. Smith, serving in tho capacity of
regent during the past two years has
filed vouches for and drew compenRa-
ton covering l3l days since the organi-
zation of the board, April %, 1891, and
up to September 4, 1892. Between the
dates mentioned the board held thirteen
meetings, which we're were attended by
Smith. The t2tal number OF days the
board has been is serslon at these meet
ings is 25. The necessary time con-
sumed in attending all these meetings,
including the time necessary consumed
in going to and returning from the
same, amounting to So days. there
fore charge that Mr.. Smith has drawn
pay for 76 days for which he has no
warrent under the law.
Q. Between the date of the first meet
ing of said board, April p, 1891, and
September 4, 1892, the said Smith filed
expense vouchers and drew money on
the same amounting to S99o,7O, over
5000 Of which was actually represented
to be actually paid in expenses attend
ing the prosecution Of his official duties
in attending the meetings OF said board
above referred to. The unreasonable
ness of such a bill of expense will appear
when it is known chat Of the l3 meet
ings mentioned four were held at Taco
ma, the home Of said Regent Smith; two
we're held at Olympia, and one at Seat
lie. The other six were held at Pull
man. l, therefore charge that said
Smith has filed vouchers and drawn
money on the same to cover amounts
that were not paid out as expenses in
CURED in the discharge Of his duties as
regent Of said college.
8. Icharge that said Regent j. IL,
Bellinger has, during the two years past,
been neglectful OF his duties as public
officer, and that be wilfully failed and
refused to attend the meetings OF SAID
board OF regents which we're held between
May /, 1891, and August l, 1892.
4. / charge that said j. II. Belinger
has made statements which show him
to be an enemy to the institution over
which he exercises an official supervision.
For these reasons L regard those men
unfit to hold the office OF regent OF said
college, and beg permission to protest
against their nomination to said office.
Respectfully submitted

Following the address the mayor
stated that the new council was ready
for business. At this statement Taylor,
who sat next the door putting fragrant
"two-fer," cast a side glance at Munros,
whose feet Termed q picturesque back
ground for the clerks table, aRd Mum
roe passed the look on to Vsdder, who
held his position tilted back ia the cor
nor, and was busily engaged in trying
to discover 4 stray hair on his head.
Neither Letterman or Wilkinson, the
hold overs, we're present, and for brief
space of time silence reigned supreme.
The stiffness was soon broken, however,
By the mayor, who said Gentlemen, a
motion to do something is In order"
At this Munroe, who had been In the
harness before, moved that the appoint
ment of the municipal officers be put off
till the old officers had had time to re-
port The motion was carried. The ap-
pointmsnt of the standing committees
was also postponed, and the council pro
oeedsd to discuss watsrwcrks rpattefs.
The discussion finally ended in the may
or appointing the council a committee
of the whole TO view the work now in
progress at the engine house, and to
decide on how best to locate the boilers.
The supply OF coal for the next year was
also discussed, and tho clerk was ordered
to advertise for bids for the years sup
ply. The bonds OF City Treasurer De-
Pledge we're fixed at $4,000, and the
treasurer, who was present, arose and
said that he would handle the city's
bonds at one. half the former rate, This
reduction means large saving to the
city. A special committee was appoint
ed to revise the ordinances prescribing |
the duties and fixing the compensation
OF city officers, after which the council
adjourned till Friday night.
With the present council the good
work in Pullman will be continued, as
tho members are all conservative business
men.

on cards, and read as follows:
Misses Maude and Jessie HunKats
Do truly wish to state,
That they will be pleased to see you

And will you kindly bring with you VI
Some nobby little thing,
Wrapped carefully in paper
And wound round and round in string'

And let your answer yes' or "no"
Be written all in rhyme
And the answers, written all in

from his fertile imagination:
Letter No /, To Editor Ballen;

And want to go SO bad,
But haven't cent of money
You know its the latest fad
To go with holes in your pockets,
And purse that looks hungry and sad
But without dime
l must decline,
Alas! Pm an unhappy lad.
But that matrimonial business
You were speaking to me about
Come, advance me just quarter
And help the Parson out;
And when you've asked her mama,
If she doesn't threw you out,
Why come to me
And I'll agree
To tie it quick and stout"
Letter No 2, From Editor Ballen.J
"My Reverend Sir Yours is at hand.

But Just at present I'm hardup
Iye but fifteen cents in sight
But thought has just come to me,
Which brings with it some light
Two ten cent toys
West sells to boys
For fifteen cents. Good night"
l enclose the correspondence
For want it fair and square;
If the Preacher and the Editor
HAVE to buy things by the pair,
Can they mix in the assenblage
OF the talented and fairs
Tho we have no 'tin"
Do let us in,
We came on the old gray mare.
So to Sunny Side

On Monday just at eight,
The Parson will come
To enjoy the fun,
