Daniel Asks J. OH. Some Pertinent
Questions.


Ed. STANDARD:
Mr.. Scobey having been convicted
of recklessly charging all of the State
county and city officials with dishon

fording him an opportunity to apollo
gize to his political friends, has writ

and having double purpose in view

boast Of her efficient fire department
and only regret the small compensa
ton given to that and her other guard

Contrast the salary and duties and
responsibilities OF the Engineer OF oul

Sheriff of Thurston county, without
derogation to either of two faithful
officials.
Contrast the salary and duties oil

Lery Stark, OF Natchez, in Yakima
county, is missing, and it is thought
he was drowned while fording the
Natchez river. His horse was found
near the bank of the stream, and his
dog came home last Wednesday morn

a neighbours the night before, and had
to ford the river on his return, hence
the suspicion that he has been
drowned.

IS A Texas SCeer,D

That wittiest and cleverest of all
the Hoyt satires, GA Texas Steer"
will be produced at Olympia Theate1
next Wednesday evening. A satire on
American politics, like good wine, i'm.
proves with age. Hardly q year passes
that does not add some new signifi.
canee to the sarcasm that fills the
scenes. The satire gains additional
vigor from the vagaries of every city's
400" and when the Texas statesman
gets down to the point where he is
moved to remark that an American
son-in.law is good enough for him the
galleries applaud the sentiment to the
echo. 1t is happy thing for a dra-
matte author to hit off q topic that is
kept fresh, not by rewriting his re-
marks. but by the living witnesses of
10000. 600 people to the business of his
original conception. "a Texas Steer"
can never fail to make hit go long
as the American people are so careless
with their politics and 80 good natured
over their failures.
The company now playing it is said
to be the best one that has ever in
terpreted the piece. 1t is headed by
Tim Murphy, who is wonderfully clever
in the role of Maverick Brander. The
cattle king, who bursts upon congress
with a sombrero and "gun," is q
character that requires considerable
dramatic talent back of him. While
he is wild and woolly in the beginning,
it is necessary to gradually tame him
and make OF him something distinct
from his eccentric constituents, Messrs.
Yell, Bragg and Blow. Mr.. Murphy
accomplishes this easily. and by mild
transition, and in this is his art. For
the rest. his facial expression is re.
markabiy apt to the situation and his
deliberate delivery of the speeches is
all calculated to brighten the effect.
Mr.. Murphy seems to have early in his
career grasped the true notion OF
comedy.
The supporting company is evenly
balanced. Miss Dorothy Sherrod as
Bossy Brander is more than salts
factory in part which is not exact
ly easy. The part is one that can
easily 60 to far towards slsnginess, but
it is to Miss Sherrod's credit that her
Bossy is uniformly womanly and
sweet. Wallace Jackson as Brassy
Gall, Charles Allison as Fishback, and
Charles Hallock as Captain Fairleigh
Bright, are all we'll up in their roles
and make the comedy 60 with a rush.
The three Texans. Yell, Bragg and
Blow, are we'll hit off by Messrs.
NARROW, Adams and Manley.

MAIN HALL CHANGES,
What Time May Bring About in The
Old Building.
Madison. March "a.

Madison, March "a.
The changes that have been made IN
the old main hall OF the state universe
ty are part of a plan submitted by
Ferry 4 elias, OF Milwaukee. for re-
modelling and enlarging the building
and eventually the rest OF the plan will
be earried out, Two wings will be
added, which will extend across the
ends OF the main building. projecting
beyond them just as the wings OF the
capitol do. The style OF the main
building will be followed, so that the
wings will appear to have always been
part OF the building. They will be
built as soon as the needs OF thf lni-
versity require them and none. can
be obtained to build them, So far the
only change made In the external APP
pearance of the building Is the sub3ti-
tuition OF a central portico for the old
fashioned semicircular bay that
formed a part Of the front. On the in
terror there have been many changes.
The narrow little halls have been
widened and new floors have been laid
throughout the building. a system OF
plumbing has also been put in and all
the rooms have been thoroughly rem
oyated
The commission having the matter
OF building the new state historical IL
brary will meet this week and Ferry &
elias viii have to submit the altered
plan the commission asked them 10
make. Their original plan provided a
fine. Wide flight OF steps In front Of the
main entrance, which gave dignity to
the facade. but the members OF the
commission thought the steps would be
dangerous In winter time and suggest
ed an entrance into the basement from
the level of the street, which would
necessltate many changes both extern
ally and internally. They also wanted
a number of other changes on the In
side OF che building, which will make
the plan almost an entirely new one.
