John W. Sharp, OF Meadow, has
been pronounced insane by DIR. Red
path and kincaid, who made the ex-
animation of his mental condition by
order OF the Superior Court yesterday,
and he was committed to the hospital
at Fort Steilacoom. Mr.. S. is a
farmer, with family, man of vio-
lent temper, which under mental in
trinity has been increasing in intens-
ity until it is now believed that he
may possibly do injury to himself or
others. Robt Swan took the unfor-
tunate man to the asylum yesterday,
Frank d. Nash, a Tacoma lawyer,
came over Wednesday to instruct the
County Commissioners what to do in
making the tax levy. His advice was
given in the form of demand to in
crease the usual levy five mills to pay
some outstanding warrants held by
his clients. 1t is hardly probable
that the Commissioners will accede to
his demand. 1t has been found by
demonstration that there is just so
much "blood" in a turnip, under
given conditions, and that any attempt
to extract more generally leads to
worry and disappointment.
The entertainment given by Miss
Mac Bride, in the NJ. +. Church, Mon
day night, was we'll attended, especi-
ally by the younger portion of the
community. Her recitations were,
therefore, mainly adapted to the ca
pacity of childhood, and although the
lady was suffering from a severe
hoarseness, she succeeded most adj
mirably in interesting her audience by
representations of various characters
and limitations of the distinctive cries
of many animals. She was ably as
sisted by several OF our local musi-
clans, in vocal and instrumental num-
bers.
Mr.. +. II. Dean has sold "The
Fair" of this city, one of the best
conducted department stores on the
Sound, to r. S. Shelley and Geo.
French, of Heppner, Ogn. The new
proprietors have already assumed
charge, Mr.. A. B. Clark retiring tenn
porarily from business. He will,
however, soon leave for Chicago,
where he expects to make arrange
ments for opening one of the largest
department stores in the West, at
some point in the State. Mr.. C. has
been an important factor in our local
business the past two years, during
which time he has made many warm
friends who will regret to lose him
from their social and business coun-
ellis.
"A Breezy Time" is just such an
old.time comedy as has SO often de-
lighted our people, whose plot, what
there is OF it, is used for a line on
which to string all manner of conf
calities, whimsicalities, and specialties.
1t is breezy in name and breezy in ma
ture, just like the gentle zephyrs
which blow from Ceylon's isles, laden
with the spicy aroma of merriment
and mirth. 1t is at times Teutonic,
at Others, histrionic, and always tonic
for health and happiness and ban
Usher of business worry and blue devils.
The coon, the tramp, the dago, the
Jack Tar, and other race and class i'm.
personalities are attempted, and your
money will be returned after the first
act If they do not please you. That
guaranty is made, to meet the hyper
critical demand for certificates by
some would-be cri,ics-the P..L for
instance.
Randolph j. Mix, logger, while at
work in the woods, at Mud Bay, Mon
day, fell from spring-board in a tree
he was falling, and sustained serious
injuries. The distance he fell was
about IL feet. He wrenched his neck
and twisted the spinal column in a
manner which resulted in paralysis of
the whole body. He was brought i'm.
mediately to town and taken to the
residence of his sister, Mrs. J. G.
Lybarger, on Eastside. The best of
surgical aid was provided, but he

a short time before his death. Mr..
Mix was native of this county and
~ years ofage. He followed farming
for several years but has lately been
engaged in the logging business on his
own account, and it was in the prose-
cution OF this calling he met his
death. He leaves wife and three
children. The funeral rites were con-

Those who attended the perform
ance in Olympia Theater last evening,
realize just how much Importance
may be attached to the Pts "criti-
cisms" of dramatic performances
that appear at Seattle Theater,
which it has been in the habit of sys.
tematically boycotting. The COM
