That was very indignant audience
which witnessed the curtain go down at
Larson's theatre last Tuesday evening,
when the Tivoli opera company had pro-
duced but two acts of "The Serenade. p"
No apology was made for cutting the
program and there was no valid excus e
for it. If the company had to catch a
certain train it would have been very
easy matter to have thoroughly adver :
tised the performance to begin at s
o'clock instead of $50. If the opera
house management has not clause in
their contracts compelling theatrical and
other companies to give a full perform
ance or forfeit their share of the pro-
ceeds, they should at once adopt some
other means to that end. Any show
which takes the peoples money and
then cuts the program to suit its own
convenience, is simply working bunco
game and Yakima people won't stand
for it.

THE HERALD's position that the voters
of Yakima county will consider the men
on their ticket rather than the party is
proving true, if the word OF some OF the
staunch republicans of Yakima county
count for anything. A prominent re-
publican was heard to remark: 81 am a
republican and proud of it, but cannot
be induced to vote for that which my
conscience would not permit, therefore
I repudiate that legislative ticket-it
smacks too loudly Of bossism to say
nothing of strong breaths."

AN OPEN LETTER.

PRossER, WASH, Sept. %, 1902.
Mr.. W. W. ROBERTSON, ESQ,
Editor OF Yakima Republic.
Dear Sir:
In the issue OF your paper OF Sept.
10th, you say that YOU have sent the
following letter to the democratic NOM
inees for the legislature, and that you
will print their replies, when received;
1.-The Republic would be pleased to
have from you, at your earliest conven-
fence, for publication, an expression OF
your views on the subject of the pro-
posed division OF Yakima county. ii
you should be elected would you vote
for bill to divide the county ii the OPP
portunity presented itself? Would you
vote against the bill?
In view OF the fact that l am repub-
lican, as you now profess to be, a fellow
feeling of partisanship will probably
prompt you to enlighten me, and
doubtless many others of your fellow
republicans, interested in this matter,
by answering the following questions,
suggested by your letter to the demo
cratic candidates
First, Is the question OF county divi-
sion in issue in the impending election?
Second, If such question is not in
issue, is not your letter to the demo.
cratic candidates irrelevant and i'm
ma terial?
Third, Ii such question is in issue,
have you addressed similar letter tc
the republican candidates; Englehart
Dunn, and Hare?
Fourth, II such question is in issue,
and you have not addressed such letter
10 the republican candidates, why have
you not done so, if you are in good
faith, trying to get information to en-
tighten the voters?
Fifth, If such question is not in issue,
was your letter to the democratic candi-

THE STATE FAIR.

Monday next the state fair is sched-
uled to open. Every thing bids well to
be in readiness for the opening DAYS,
and it is safe to promise the people the
best and most varied exhibit ever shown
in this state. That the fair will be well
patronized is to be hoped. 1t is deserv-
ing of the encouragement of every cit
izen of this great commonwealth. The
commissioners have labored faithfully
to make this seasons exhibit the star
of them all. They have spared much OF
personal means to bring the affair to a
successful issue. Circus day there were
5000 tickets sold. 1t will be a surprise
and disappointment if when the tick
cts are counted on the big days
of the fair the number of admis-
sions do not over run this figure.
1t will be disgrace to the state if it
does not. With the splendid array OF
fruit, vegetables, dairy products, stock,
poultry and other resources of Washing
ton, and the many other attractions, the
state fair ought to eclipse any three-ring
circus that ever spread its canvas on the
sage brush plains of Yakima. Attend
the fair. Take your family. See that
your neighbors 20. Make the week one
of recreation and pleasure as well as
proft

A PRECIOUS sAsv.

The little Princess Yolanda, who is
generally regarded as Italy's future
queen, is being brought up according to
the strictest principles of the modern
science of rearing babies.
In addition to being a model mother
the queen of Italy is a very clever anna
teur photographer and has taken some
charming pictures of her little daugh-
ter.
Her royal highness the Princess Yo-
landa Margherita Milena Elisa BETA Ro-
mana Maria is the only child of the
king and queen of Italy. The Salic law
which is in force in Italy, forbids the
accession of women to the throne, but it
is extremely probable that when the
princess grows up she will be married
to her cousin. who is nearest in line OF
succession to the throne. Thus she will
become queen after all.
Although so strong and we'll develop
ed, the royal baby does not yet walk.
No attempt will be made to make her
walk, but she will be allowed to do SO
when she shows distinct desire. The

DOLMAN EXPLAINS.
Says Il Nothing New In His Contro-
versy With County.

Ex-Probate Judge L. 5. Dolman
claims that County Auditor Charles
statement that the county owes Dol
man and that Do1man owes the county.
He says he claimed that he should re-
ceive the salary and that the county
should receive the fees.
Judge DOlman explains the cOntrover-
sy as follows:
In January. 1898, the fee and salary
law of 1897 took effect. The act made
q general cut on fees of about one-third
and placed a maximum of the amount
probate judges should receive in pro-
portion to the population. 1t provided
that In addition to the fees allowed,
the probate judge should receive the
fees allowed by the prohibitory liquor
law There was nothing in the act re-
peaiing the salary provision of the in
toxicating liquor law and as no law can
be repealed by implication unless the
two acts are in conflict. I maintained
at the time: that the probate judges
should continue to receive the salary
and should turn into the county treas
ury the cent and half on each applica-
ton for liquor sold by druggists which
was collected on the first of each month,
together with the s. paid by druggists
on each application for a permit. Mr.
Pagan, who was then county auditor
insisted that the act of 1897 repealed the
salary law and allowed the probate
judges to retain the fees collected,
meaning the cent and half on each
application for liquor sold and So on
each application for permits referred to
above. 1t was generally conceded that
the act of 1897 with reference to the fees
under the liquor law was over and
above the amount of maximum salary
allowed.
1.-THE difference between the total sal
airy received in one year and the fees
collected was not enough to warrant
litigation when figured for the whole
three years. but 1898 fell far short of
producing the amount that l would
have received had 1 received the salary.
In 1889, Immediately after my salary for
the year 1898 fell due / commenced
suit against the county to test the law
SO that for all time to come this matter
would be settled. The district court
and the court of appeals both decided
against me; see case of Dolman VS..
county commissioners reported June.
1900, court of appeals. The supreme
county commissioners of Butler county
reversed both the district court and
court of appeals on this very question
and held with me on this contention.
Now / figure that under this decision
the county owes me several hundred
dollars by reason of the difference be-
tween the fees collected and the salary.
My books will show every dollar receiv-
ed by me during this period. If retain
ed these fees 1 did so on the advice of
the county auditor whose business it is
to attend to these matters and the re-
cent decision SuStainS me in my conten-
ton in regard to the law"

CURIOUS CUSTOM

custom which is said to prevail to some

France. It's this way: After the cere-
mony the bride is escorted to her new
home by her girl friends and left alone;
the young husband. also in the hands of
his friends, is next led to a point q cou-

take a crack at the fellow who had done
you out OF your best girl without hav-
ing the police step in! Over there Gus

that the last i'll feeling is thus thrown

"Grangerizing."
While pingpong is occupying the
minds of the frivolously inclined, there
is another occupation just now very
popular with the bookworms OF the
community. 1t is called "grangerizfng."
The "grangerizer' chooses a book, pref
erably one of travels or history, and
sets to work illustrating it, not by orig
inal drawings, of course, but by pic
lures cut from other books and gather
ed together by the exercise of much
taste and discrimination. For instance
If mention is made of a certain cele-
brated historical residence. the gran
gerfzer will paste in the book at that
particular spot picture of the place
Grangerizing can be done on quite an
extravagant scale when autograph let
tiers. old portraits and rare prints are
introduced. One prominent society wo-
man recently spent three years gran
gerizing a book. and when she had col
lected all the data available the results
were bound with a handsome cover OF
her own designing. During those three
years she haunted old bookstores and
spent small fortune unearthing relics
of bygone literature. But never mind;

would be charming with q white pique

MRS. SHAFFER'S SOUVENIR.
Ring Which Commemorates Her Mar
row Escape.

Mrs W. l. Shaffer of No $40 East
Eighth avenue, who has just returned
from Colorado, where she was visiting
relative at Idaho Springs, is wearing
handsome band gold ring that was
made in Colorado and which will always
remind her of a narrow escape from
death.
Her brother-in-law, with whom sac
was visiting, found a piece of gold OF
on the mountain side one day. He did
not realize that the piece of ore was
valuable and broke it in pieces, only
taking home small piece as a speci
men, Later. learning that the ore con-
tanned solid gold. he decided to drive
back to the spot where he had thrown
away the precious metal, and Mrs Shat
fer accompanied him. While he was
searching for the ere and Mrs. Shaffer
was holding the horses, a herd of par
TALLY wild horses came running from
thicket and frightened her team. The
horses ran away and overturned the
carriage, rolling both the horses and the
carriage over a cliff. Mrs. Shaffer
escaped from the carriage in time to
clutch at something and save herself
the fall over the cliff. The carriage was
completely demolished but the horses
were not killed.
The gold ore was finally found and
melted up to be moulded into a rins
on which was engraved the date of the
accident. Mrs. Shaffer says she will al
ways wear the ring as souvenir Of
that event.
