was served to "a large company of friends.
The HERALD extends congratulations to
the happy young couple.
Those who failed to attend the play,
"a Summer Fancy" at the Acme opera
house Saturday evening Used SUR
prise. The really excellent acting OF the
local amateurs, under the direction Of
Percy II. Levin, was a pleasant surprise
to those present, and was deserving OF a
larger attendance than it received. The
same company will repeat the play at
Cosmopolis this evening and at Hoqniam
some night next week.

4 couple OF sneak thieves undertook to
operate in town Tuesday evening, and
one OF them came to grief. lie stole
pair of shoes from Je0's shoe store, and
was arrested by Marshal Graham while
Offering them for sale in "Our House"
saloon. His pal was seen wearing
macintosh that was taken from the front
OF l. Harris 4 Sons store, but the loss
was no: then known. The shoe specu'
lator, who gave the name Of Ed. Smith,
was fined $50 and costs by Judge Arnold.
j. C. Acteson, of Hoquiam, was ap.
pointed county commissioner Monday, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
OF Chas Mcintyre, whose duties as farm
er on the Quinault Indian reservation
rendered his serving any longer on the
board impossible. Mr.. Acteson has been
highly recommended by the citizens OF
Hoo liam, where he bears the reputation
OF being keen, straightforward man OF
business. Mr.. Mcintyre leaves the board,
after nearly three years OF service on it,
with more friends throughout the county
than would seem possible for one to gain
in that trying position.
Bad weather again attended the game
of base ball between the Aberdeen and
Hoquam clubs at Montesano ON Sunday.
The Aberdeen team did not care to 90 up
in the rain, but the Hoquiam boys in.
sisted on playing for that $50, rain or
shine, so the game went. Ben Wiley
was in poor form for pitching, and his
balls were famed in all directions until
he was relieved by Jim Bowes. The rain
and wet grounds caused poor game by
both sides and it was closed with the
seventh inning, the score standing II to
20 in favor OF the Hoquiam nine. The
Hoquiam club treated their defeated COM
petito,s right royalty on the return trip,
and treated them to supper on the
steamer.
