The bill before the Legislature for
holding terms OF the Supreme Court
in Spokane was indefinitely postponed
in the House. and the Tacoma scheme
for placing this august tribunal on
wheels likewise event dead"
Howard Warner, who assaulted
Joseph Otto, at Iclm, few days ago,
had hearing this week before JUS
ticc Coates, of that precinct, Il few days
ago and has been held III default OF $3.50
bail to appear ut the next term OF the
Superior Court to answer.
Gov Rogers has rc>pited the SEN
tencc OF William Carey. convicted of
murder in King county, from March
10Th to April ODD, the same date that
Craemcr and Woodstrom are to be
executed. 1t was granted on Il show
ing that Il saving of 500 in expenses
may be effected by having the execu-
lions take place ut the same time.
The chair" had to "sit down" on
Representative Warner the last few
days of the session, to enable the
House to complete its work on many
important measures. 1t is strange
that some men are such born cyclists
that they never reflect upon the truth
expressed by Burns when he exclaimed,
90 wad some power the gfte gle us,
To see Oursel's rs ithers see us!'
John lies was found dead in his bed
last Friday morning, at a shack near
Slater's camp, where he had been
working, in Mason county, with an
empty laudanum bottle under his
pillow. An inquest was held by the
Coroner OF Mason county, and ver-
dict of suicide was rendered. De-
ceased was a brother-in-law of ]. L.
Lehnher, of this city.
The weather has been exceedingly
variable the past week. On some
days we have had all seasons repre-
scented by the rapid changes from
cloud to sunshine, rain, snow and
hail to be succeeded by the balmy
breezes of spring. 1t is probably a
taste of what is known as the "equi-
noctial" weather, which prevails gener-
ally this time of the year,
The jam of people at the "dog ken
nel," last evening, while the Legisla-
ture was voting on a halfway measure
for construction of a suitable building
for its sessions, was an object-lesson
that would have taught anybody but
the most perverse of opponents that
there was a greater necessity for this
improvement than any which has en-
gagged their attention during the pres
ent session. But it had little effect.
So the average legislator had a seat
for himself and his "girl," he seemed
to be oblivious of the comforts of
everybody else.
One of the most pleasing features of
the rendition of "The Prodigal
Father" at Olympia Theater, Monday
evening, was "piano recitation" by
Fred Waltz, which consisted of a
symphony of popular airs as an ac-
compartment to story of the varied
experiences of Catesby Duff, man OF
the world, always in hard luck. The
appropriateness of some of the selec-
tons to the experiences related met
with hearty applause from the large
audience present on that occasion.
Another role whose performance is
worthy of especial note was" Sis Hop
kins from Slab Hollow" by Rose
Melville. 1t was minor part, but
none the less exacting of the talent OF
the true artistic. The performance
taken as a whole, was very good.
Miss Wheeler's millinery parlors
resembled Fancy's picture of a fairy
bower, Tuesday night, with throng
of queens of Elhand gathered in be.
witching array. The fairies all
seemed to be in the seventh heaven OF
earthly felicity over the brilliant ar
ray of articles which always captivate
the feminine heart, while the strains
of sweet music from Prof. Rowell's
mandolin club added a climax to q
scene of loneliness which enthralled
the senses. The Reception" was a
gratifying success for its enterprising
protector, and its effect will not be
lost in enhancing the popularity OF
her attractive and well-managed es-
Enlistment. Mrs. CASTOR is the DOS
SCISSOR of $40 hat awarded by lot, the
number of her ticket 25, being the
fortunate number.
