Oly predicted the election of Ankle
ny, Monday, basing its opinion upon
the break for that gentleman by the
King county forces, who Involuntary
forced an abrupt determination by

drift to Ankeny was development OF
the latent strength for Foster, which
was manifested at the first meeting of
the caucus afterwards.
The County Commissioners have
asked the Legislature to amend the
statutes so that the County Surveyor
may not constitute himself supervisor
of bridge construction and bring in n
bill therefore which the courts may aud
it and allow. The Commissioners very
properly claim that they should have
some discretionary power to determine
whether a supervisors services are
necessary or not.

the amount of credits to be accorded
Geo. w. Manville, which taken with
the Communication of his sentence to
seven years had afforded hopes to his
| family that release would have been
effected long ere this time. Heis still
in the prison hospital and quite ill.

A farewell party was given r. E..
STEINER and J. l.. Holland, Tuesday
evening, by their typographical friends
at the home of Miss Essie Cullen, on
Eastside. These gentlemen are about
to leave for Washington, ID. c., to en-

new field of action.
The Capital Brewery car ran over
Kearney's delivery wagon, on the steep
grade at TuMwater, near the brewery,
Tuesday knocking the wagon somewhat
into the condition of the Deacon's
One-hOrse Chaise," when it sustained its
memorable collapse. The wagon had
been left on the track while the driver
was engaged in delivering an order.

brake was out of order and the car
consequently unmanageable.
The Ladies' Minstrel organization
will give a repetition of their excellent
performance witness ed during the Sou
venir Carnival, next Wednesday even
ing, at Olympia Theater. 1t will
hardly be repetition, either, for it
will contain many new features while
retaining the best acts of the original
entertainment, which took months of
preparation to present in the surpris-
ingly attractive form of the great sue

crude to say the least, being eliminat-

noying waits or tedious intermissions.
The young ladies engaged in this en-
terprise are entitled to a liberal pa
tronage, for it was mainly their efforts
which made the carnival a success and
they were attended with great sacri-
flee OF time and labor. Sale OF seats
will begin at 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. AS before, numbers will be given
to prevent confusion.
