Presidential canes have been dis.
tributed galore by the hoffman Mer-
camille Co. the past week, The Bryan
canes 60 off like hot cakes, but the
Mckinley variety have to be accom-
panied by chrome" to make them
move. The canes are ornamented
with stripes, a la stick of candy or
barber pole, which causes their wearer
to present an exceedingly festive APP
pearance when he goes on parade.
George B. Wiley met with a serious
accident, Sunday night, while scuiiling
with a companion. He had his right
leg twisted into position which broke
both bones of the ankle. Surgical aid
was Immediately procured, the injured
member set and the victim taken to
his home on Ninth and Washington
streets. 1t will probably be several
weeks before Mr.. w. will be able to
appear in public to essay another aero
batic feat.
w. +. Boone, the architect, has
been given Il judgment in the Superior
Court, against the State of Washing
ington, for $4,000 balance claimed for
plans for an annex to the State Uni
versity. 1t seems that he was to have
received $4,000 for plans and specifi.
cations, but that only $1,000 had been
paid. The building was not erected,
for some cause, but the claimant after
waiting II score of years now obtains
judgment. 1t seems that this is one
of the cases in which a statute of linn
itations should apply.
Several breaks in electric lighting
took place last evening to the no
small discomfort of our people. The
arc light at the p. T. S. depot
"dowsed its glim" just as the evening
tram arrived, necessitating the trans
fer of the equipment for 1.-the Brown
les" in the dark, and just as the cur
tain fell on the last act at the theater
the current was again broken, neces-
stating an exit of quite large audi
ence in the dark. 1t is hoped the
when the new fume is completed that
service will be, in all respects accept
able.
Last night, at the close of 1.-THE
Brownie" entertainment, a deluge OF
rain was falling, and it continued a
full hour without cessation. That
was one OF the occasions when several
street cars could have been filled, and
all the hacks and carriages in town
could have found lucrative employ
ment, but neither seemed to be Access
sible, and crowd of people stood in
the vestibule of the theater till near
the "wee sma' hours" when fortunate
ly q rift in the clouds afforded an op-
portunity to dodge the drops while
home ward bound.
Morden Kincaid, a son of DR.. Kim
caid, OF this city, is reported missing
from Seattle, in the P.-I. He was
last seen on Tuesday afternoon. Dill
gent inquiry made by direction OF his
brother Trevor Kincaid, curator of the
State University Museum. has failed
to disclose any facts that promise q
discovery of his present habitation.
Mr.. X. lately came down from Alaska,
and had some money about him, and
it is feared that a knowledge of tina,
fact has led to foul play. Late last
night it was reported that he had been
located at Spokane.
Henry Roberts and Leonard Rayl
we're arrested, Tuesday, on charge OF
stealing gun from the residence OF
George Jones. on Eastside. The
charge, it is said, can be proven, but
the miscreants are too young TO come
under any statutory provision for pun
ishment. The minimum limit OF age
for admission to the reform school is
eight years, and as both these boys are
under that age, they have been set at
liberty to ply their vocation without
hipdrance. IL seems a shame that
there can be any excuse for, or pallia.
ton OF, such crime as larceny.
Woodland & Swans dental parlors
were visited by burglar Wednesday
evening, in the cleaning. and oil.
though Mr.. Swan entered the operat-
ing Office while the burglar was en-.
gagged in his nefarious calling, he was
allowed to escape, with about $40
worth OF booty. Later on, man was
arrested, but Mr.. Swan was not GER
tain as to his identity with the light
fingered visitor and he was discharged.
The man arrested is under suspicion,
however, for having sold a good BIZ
cycle for SIS to local dealer, imme.
diatoly upon his arrival in town few
days ago. 1t is supposed to have been
stolen.
