Col. G. K. Holiday has been named
by the opposition to the Republicans
for Representative In the Topeka city
district. He is director Of the Santa

assistance could be expected for rail.

they think that they would better get
man who is right on one question
than one who is right on neither.
Speaking about patience, the Clay
Center Times tells about q fellow who
fshed two hours without getting a
bite. Then he caught one little fish.
Then followed seven more hours with.
out single bite although he was run
ming three lines. And the man, 1t is
said, neither smokes, drinks nor
sWears. The story closes by relating
that about two hours before he quit
the one fish he did catch got away.
Judge Williams Of the Federal court
holds that $4,000 of the Waterworks
bonds issued by Attics are void. The
notice Of the election was FIVE days too
short. The defect was remedled, it
was thought, by special legislative

Legislature had no authority to pass
an act authorizing the city Of AttiCa
to do certain things which other cities
Of the same class were not authorized

Death OF Another Pioneer.

The cad news of the death of Yves.
ley B. Gosnell, at his home at Winlock
Sunday afternoon, although not un.
expected, caused thrill OF anguish in
many heart of the remnant Of a. old
settlers" whose ranks are being so
rapidly thinned by the steady strokes
OF the scythe of Time. Mr.. Gosnell
came to Western Washington early in
the Sos, from Baltimore, and during
the past As years has resided almost
continuously in Lewis and Thurston
counties. He was one OF the first In
dian Agents after independent ter
ritorial government was established,
and during the war of 1886 conf
manded company of Indian scouts.
Back in the sos Mr.. Gosnell was
welded to Miss Kate Cutting, in this
city. The ceremony was performed,
not in the building now occupied by
DR.. Riley as the Nympian states, but
y small building which stood west OF
it, which long ago passed away under
the advance Improvement.
The funeral was held Wednesday at
Winlock, and the rites We're attended
by delegations of "old settlers" from
all parts Of the State where the limited
time admitted of an opportunity for
being present. u.

reigned supreme, fairly bubbled over
with funny doings and sayings, and
not only convulsed the audience with
laughter, but those on the stage as

A whirlwind Monday afternoon
misplaced a section OF sidewalk on
Eastside. This is a very unusual &C.
currence for this country, as the great
mountain ranges preserve an equable
temperature and stand as impregna-
bic barriers against any violent agita-
ton of natural conditions which pro-
| duce electrical storm centers. The
damage done by the whirlwind was
nominal, and confined to a small
strip OF sidewalk on Fourth street.
After six months rehearsal and
preparation Mrs. Horr's Brownies will
appear at Olympia Theater tonight
and Saturday evening of this week.
They will likewise hold a reception for
school children on Saturday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The patience and
perseverance necessary to train such
a large company OF children up to the
degree of excellence which a glimpse
behind the scenes at rehearsal has
disclosed would only be accorded by
one whose whole soul was enlisted in
q work of love for the little folks. The
prices of admission have been placed
at SO. 80 and % cents at the sight
performances and 1Oc for children and
Csc for adults at the matinee.

at once paid out for an artesan we'll,
that chaos would reign in Thurston
county. Referring to the record the
Court say "no such facts appear
thereby; a more nonSensical idea
never encountered lawyers brief.
Scobey's wise men had cited in the
same brief the case OF Mason vs.. Purdy,
40 Pac. 100, as demonstrating a posi-
ton he maintained. The Supreme
Court referring to this case very tersely
remark: 1T may be well to say that
no such question as the relator (Root)
argues was decided in that case"
The grotesquesness and absurdity of
the whole proceeding and plan was so
apparent that it required and received
the condemnation of the Supreme
Court in the following words clearly
a most vicious one generally. 1t is
sufficient that there is no authority of
law therefor" ! defy Mr. Root to find
n parallel case. First, an attorney
paid by the county either trying in
his brief to deceive the Supreme Court
or SO ignorant that he could not state
his case honestly; ID, the same attor-
ney citing and depending upon case
which had no relevancy; Sd, present.
ing plan to court hich was "vic-
ious" and without any authority OF
law therefor"
Is it surprising that he was ashamed
to go before the court in the recent

Do the people of Thurston county
want man for Judge OF the Superior

An Excellent Play well Performed.

Hoyt's A Texas Steer" Wednesday
night. The parts were all we'll sus-
tanned, especially those of " Maverick
Brander" the Texas Cattle King, by
Charles Allison, Bossy" his daughter
by Miss Charlotte Crane, GRASSY
Gall" by Wallace Jackson and Chris
topher Columbus Fishback." the
colored statesman, by Louis Foy. 1t
1t is impossible TO conceive how Tim
Murphy could add anything to the
finished work OF Mr.. Allison in the
principal part of the Congressman
from Texas. His change from the
rough honest cowboy" to the schem-
ing diplomatic statesman, under the
tutelage OF Brassy Gall, is a scathing
satire on the usual effects of Ameri-
can politics. Bossy" gives promise
of fame. Favored by a charming
presence, she possesses an evident love
for her profession and a determine.
ton to excel which will in time place
her in the front ranks of leading &C.
tresses. She developes from the I'M
sophisticated "prairie flower" of her
native heath into the charming belle
of the social swirl in the most natural
and charming gradations. "a Texas
Steer" unlike most of Hoyt's produc-
tons, contains many passages abound
ing in soul-stirring sentiment. Bran
der's apostrophe to Texas, is one of
these, and was greeted with prolonged
applause. 1t is thought by many to
be the best of the plays of that author,
an opinion that is sustained by the
evidences of approval Wednesday
night.

1t is we'll established fact that the
American people are swiudled and
humbugged more than any other peo-
pie on earth, and it is not for want OF
intelligence or shrewdness, but simply
because they do not stop to think.
For instance a lady goes to her grocer,
who rather than miss making sale,
offers her an inferior goods instead OF
the kind she asks for He boldly as.
