MAYOR SHAW VETOES
OPERA HOUSE LICENSE
Also Ordinance Making License for
Bill Posters $4,000 Per Annum
Is Likewise Dealt With.

Mayor Jack Shaw has vetoed the two
ordinances passed by the city council
last week during his absence, that were
intended to raise the present license OF
the theatre from $4,000 to $250.O0 per
year, and the license for bill posting
privileges from $1,000 to $4,000.
The mayor thinks both of the ordi-
nances were exorbitant, especially the
bill posters tax. When asked about the
matter he simply said that since the last
meeting of the council, two of the mem
bers who had voted for the ordinances
had expressed themselves in favor of re-
considering, so in order to save this ac-
ton he concluded it would be wise to
exercise his prerogative and then if the
council wish to pass them over his dis
approval it was their privilege.
The stand taken by Mayor Shaw in
regard to opera house license will meet
with the approval of the majority of the
people living here.

ton of bad country, $50 miles from a
railroad, and l don't want any more
trips of that nature very soon"
This is Mr.. Shaw's second experience
in search of Barrack, and he says that
the expense of the two trips will over
balance his share of the bond money,
which will he refunded, since the pris-
oner is to stand trial.
Barrack says he is innocent and is APP
parently anxious to have the trial come
off Immediately, as he is positive of ac-
quittal and wants to get back to Oregon.
He has claim in the mountains where
he was captured that needs mis- atten-
ton, so he says.

BUSINESS MEN TAKE HOLD
NORTH YAKIMA BALL TEAM
Enthusiastic Meeting Results in the
Reorganization of the
Ball TOSSerS.

North Yakima's enthusiastic baseball
fans, comprising some of the leading
business men of the city held meeting
on Tuesday evening to discuss matters
pertaining to the welfare of North Yak
ima's excellent baseball team.
A complete reorganization las deemed
wise, inasmuch, as heretofore the club
has been without the combined support
of the business men as an organization
and dependent upon an unsatisfactory
arrangement, but with the backing OF
the new association, the best players can
be secured and retained and the public
assured good clean ball.
The officers elect are: II. II. Schott,
president; w. II. Patterson, secretary
and treasurer Fred Chandler, manager
The board of directors are, j. T. Foster,
d. n. Arnold, u. Y. Coleman, II. II.
Schott and w. II. Patterson.
The prospects for good season OF
baseball are most encouraging. The
players are exceptionally good and il
they are able to maintain the record for
fast ball already made, there will be
little room for criticism when the season
closes.
As all know, who have ever had ex-
perience in this line of sport, it is a hard
matter to make a paying proposition out
of baseball team in town the size OF
Yakima, but the gentlemen who have
gone into the organization will give the
club sound backing and place it on a
business basis, and the public given the
best possible exhibitions OF the national
game that money will buy.

John McQuaide committed suicide
at VicEsbuFg a few days ago. There
was 70 cause for the rash act and his
friends cannot account for the self de-
strEction MrMcQuaide was quiet,
good -natured gentleman and man of
fine sense. For long time he was
connected with the Vicksburg Evening
Post when this writer was working
for that. paper and we had an oppor-
tunity of studying the character of
the man. We found him to be a good
man, an upright, conscientious
Christian gentleman. never given to
boastlng or assuming the role Of a
hero when there was no hero in the
story. He was a plain, matter of
fact writer and told things as he IN
derstood them " 18th all the flashes and
flourishes left out. Vicksburg has

this case. as in many others, the law

would either have been found guilty
or he would have proved his inno-

Life is too cheap ard mobs are toe

press Of the state must take up this

The press of Alabama has just
opened a small bottle which does not
send forth an Odor entirety acceptable
to the better class of editors of that
state. There was a grand excursion
some time ago of the editorial assocl-
alton of the state, and out OF the 1855
persons W no went on the excursion 1t
is stated that two-thirds of them had
no connection whatever with news
paper with the exception that occa-
sionally they borrowed a copy to read
in order to find fault with it. Some
of the papers of our sister state are
strongly limiting that the secretary OF
the association made very large roll
of money out of the excursion by issu-
ing passes to men not connected with
the press. The press association OF
this state has had the same trouble as
that recently experienced by the asso-
citation of Alabama, but iJ has never
been charged that any of the secre-
taries in this stare issued fraudulent
passes, though they have been very
badly imposed upon by men who had
no connection with the press.

1t is splendid time now to begin
to make suggestions to the legisla-
ture, but il the next legislature is
like the most of them it will pay but
little attention to suggestions. One
suggestion that will be made is for it
to take up the text book question.
That will produce scandal and that
will keep the body busy for some
time. Nearly all the legislatures OF
the southern states take up the text
book matter and they drop it just as
often as it is taken up. Georgia now
has scandal of this kind on hand
and the hot end of the poker is stick
ing out Tor the convenience of those
who, may have desire to take hold
of it\ The Mississippi legislature had
up this question several years ago
and appointed a committee to make
investigation. Nothing ever came of
it except the putting and blowing out
of considerable hot air. There was
nothing else done nothing else was
expected.
