One OF the best dramas ever pre-
sented at Olympia Theater was
Saml of Posen" with the inimitable
"Sheney" Curtis in the title role.
There is but one "Saml," but he
opened his sample case to a much less
audience than should have greeted
him in the city of fat salaries and pre-.
lenses of culture.
A. H. MackKinnon, book keeper in
the Office of the State Land Commits
sioner fell from a tandem bicycle
while en- route to Tacoma, Saturday
night, and broke his collar bone. The
accident occurred a few miles from
town, and he was brought back for
treatment, while the remainder of
the party pursued their way to the
City of Destiny.
Mr.. Curtis, the only "Sam'l of Po-
son" and his estimable wife are fairly
in love with the Pacific Coast and pro-
pose exchanging their property in New

find an opportunity for an exchange if
they write to Mr.. Curtis at his perma.
nent address, which is New city.
10. Gale, Deputy Fish Commission
er, was in town Monday on brief Wis.,
it. He has opened wholesale oyster
depot in Seattle, on Commercial dock,
and intends to supply the retail trade
at lower Sound points. He is we'll
qualified for the business. for he has
had mature experience in the cul-
tivation of oysters, as well as in gath
ering, culling and preparing the pro-
duct for market.
Curtis Sam'l of Posen" is all right |;
a true conception of the "Sheny"
drummer; the man who combines
good nature with business tact, of a
confding disposition, but an eye open
to possible contingencies; rare good
fellow, but careful in estimating the
cost unless it can be charged to ex-
penses. While the climax of the play
last evening passed without recogni-
ton, the audience fairly dubbed with
appreciation of the leading role.
H. L. Wiley, who lives on Eastside,
fell with scaffold on which he had
stepped from ladder having a bunch
of shingles on his shoulder, Monday.
and sustained very severe and painful
injuries. The right shoulder bone was
broken and both bones in the right
forearm, and the bones of the right
foot were shattered. Mr.. Wiley is so
years Of age and it is a wonder that he
survives his terrible experience. AS it
is, he will be laid up two or three
months.
