There is some talk Of NJ. OConnor
for Mayor. No better choice could be
made. The office requires some ex-
perience in the management OF mu-
nicipal affairs united with common
sense, to render a perfect service, and
these qualifications Mr.. O'Connor pos
sesses in an ample degree.
Attorney General Vance has filed an
opinion that the terms of the present
school superintendent do not ex-
pire till next August. 1t is probable,
however, that this opinion will not re-
strain the officers-elect from making a
contest for their positions on January
Nth, when the tenure of other offices
begins.

made arrangements for holding
Thanksgiving services in the theater,
this year, and the proceeds of a COL
lection that will be taken are to be
devoted to the Red Cross fund for re.

The annual Charity Ball to be given
at Olympia hotel, Wednesday evening
will possess novelty in having the
Breezy Time" band to play the open
ing march, supplemented by a saxa-
phone solo (by request) by Miss Percy
Owens, a member of the company.
The company's arrival a day in ad-
vance of the performance at the thea
ter, Thursday night, enables them to
perform this graceful act in behalf of
"Sweet Charity"
The Pr. OF Wednesday states that
q warrant had been issued for the ar
rest of John Mulqueen, for an at
tempted assault upon five-year-old
daughter of farmer living near Seat
tie, and notes the fact that the &C.
cused had been twice in the insane
asylum. Oily in noting this fact says
that Mulqueen is undoubtedly insane,
and that two years ago he was
brought before the authorities for
commitment, but that while under ex-
animation he was controlled by lu-
cid interval which defeated the at
tempt to place him under control.
The matter can scarcely be dismissed,
however, with Oly's opinion that
"Mulqueen is innocent of any crimi-
nal attempt, and that the assault was
rather an indiscretion committed

A light case of smallpox is reported
on Eastside, the victim being a young
lady named Calvery. The family Of
which she is a member came to this
city from Oregon, few weeks ago.
They resided for time on the out
skirts OF the city, but this week
moved into q house on Eastside,
where the family are now quar-
antined. DR.. Riley is the at
tending physician, and says the dis
ease is Of "mild type" Now if he
would assure the people that mild
cases seldom spread, or that q mild
infection communicates its mild ma.
ture along with the contagion, many
people on Eastside would rest easier.
Genuine smallpox may be communi-
Gated from the mildest varioloid, and
to minimize the danger of exposure.
therefore, seems to be an unwise
course.
