Keeping the sidewalks and streets of
a city in repair is one of those endless
tasks which keeps multiplying as the
work advances. A small stretch of
walk to which our attention has been
| called as being one which demands i'm
mediate attention, is that on Eighth
street, between Court and Union. The
course of true love would certainly
never run smooth if that walk had to be
passed over between the courting and
the union. 1t has been sadly in need of
repairs for some time, and the need
should at once be met.
Another instance of the petty little
robberies being carried on by tramps in
our city at present was shown early this
morning when a man, who was arrested
for drunkenness and vagrancy, was
found to be in possession of pair of
Indian clubs, hich he had bef n trying
to dispose of. These small thefts are
only forerunners of more serious rob-
berries which will be committed in the
city unless these fellows are compelled
to leave. They should not be encouraged
by having their requests tor handouts
granted by our citizens.
few of the gentlemen friends of the
Ladies Aid Society will make their
debut in the entertainment line next
Wednesday evening at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Wilson, when the
ladies will take back seat, where they
will be enabled to take few pointers In

card of the evening will be the selections

men tearing down the old ehacks which
have stood there for years, and will in
the near future, if not at once, build
such an addition to their hotel, the lower
floor to be used as a dining room and

Many will remember we'll one of Nc
Ewen's leading hypnotic subjects named
Dubois, who visited the city with the
great hypnotist on his first visit; a very
looking fellow, who started
out independently from this place as
full-aedged hypnotist, and who when
last heard from was humbugging
audiences in every part of the country.
It appears that he has about reached
the end of his string from the following
notice regarding him: ga hypnotist
named Dubois, and his company ar
rived at Gle Elum the other night from
Roslyn, closely followed by wagon load
of indignant young boys who claimed
that they had been engaged by the
hVpnotist to go into frances and do what
ever he asked on the stage at Roslyn,
and that he had not paid them as he
agreed. After stormy scene in the
Office of the Reed house, compromise
was effected, and the boys departed for
home. They say that he has no
hypnotic power whatever"
