A Successful Stag Party.

Adolescent democracy held forth
Yesterday afternoon at the home of
Sam R. Sumner on Chelan avenue.
The jokeful, son-to- o-be-wedded, city
clerk had told a number of friends
tale of bad meat, spoiled strawber-
ries and Flor de Sewer cigars and re-
quested their assistance in dispOsing
of the same The petition was grant
ed and probably one of the hungriest
punches ever assembled west of Kan
akee, Illinois, was gathered about the
festive board. In proof whereof wit
ness the following who figured among
those present:
Lucien Kellogg, Dave Gellatly,
Harry Jones, w. A. Grimshaw, w.
S. Taylor, Rufus Woods, Bert Will
liams.

with characteristic impudence, to ex-
cuse prodigious appetites, told fairy
tales of horseback riding and horse
hunting while the others murmured
audibly of early breakfasts or none
at ALL
Immediately following the awful
carnage in the first round a large
plutocratic object drifted in upon the
democratic horizon. The diners rub
bed their eyes and looked again. 1t
was still there The object s--rls-
pired to be strawberry shortcake
2x3 feet in size, built in sections and
three stories high. All went well
until Mine Host Sumner, with COM
mendable respect for organs of public
opinion and those connected with
them, passed the smiling Rufus a
section of shortcake few acres
larger in extent than that enjoyed
by the others. Then it was that
divers fears which had not been ex-
| pressed were dissipated by the ap-
! pearance of another cake of even
more generous proportions than the
| first. Another deal was called for
and all drew to their hand, there be-
ing no advantage in the draw the
second time Black cigars and rem
iniscenses IA :sed the rest of the af-
ternoon away and all voted the oc.
cassion ore long to be remembered
/ Mr.. Summer left today for Seattle
to be at his wedding which will oc-
cur in that place Wednesday of this
week.

TEST CASE IS
LOST ON FLUKE
Jury Finds Defendant Not Guilty
Gophers to Blame for
Leak in Ditch.
1t was the giddy gopher's fault.

1t was the giddy gopher's fault.
The fact that silly little quad
ruped excavated himself hole in
certain spot has caused a recent test
case in the local courts to miscarry.
Considerable interest has been
manifested lately by the irrigation
lists in the valley, in the case brought
for the state of Washington by Pros
ecuting Attorney Grass, versus A. J.
Olds. The defendant, Mr.. Olds, was
charged with permitting his irriga-
ting water to run over the public
highway on May 22nd of this year.
This was a test case brought by
the county to enforce the law pro-
hibiting the running of irrigating
water on the county roads. The road
in question is situated on Birch
Flat, between the ranches of A. j.
Olds and Mike Horan. 1t is only
twenty feet in width, with high
banks on each side so that a small
amount of water would soon cover
the surface of the road. The state,
through it's witnesses w. A. Sanders,
B. ]. Pitcher, Mike Horan, w. S.
Taylor and c. p Lee, testified to see
ing the water in the road on May
10Th, and that the water evidently
came from the Olds company's land.
The defendant did not deny the
water being in the road, and by his
witnesses. S. J, Smith, Eric Eric
son and F. W Olds, proved that the
leak in the ditch had occurred
through q gopher hole, and over this
he had 10 control. Also that he
had used due diligence and all ne
cessary precautions in the care and
maintenance of the ditch. The jury
after being out less than an hour,
brought in a verdict Of not guilty.
|The defendant was represented in
the case by Attorney w. A. Grim
shaw.

Concert Dance on June 9th.

Acceding to the popular clamor
for another one, just like the other
one," the band boys have consented
to give another promenade concert
and dance on the night of June 9Th.
The happy affa., will take place
in the Wenatchee theater, and in
consequence of "Marriagable Girls"
rude roasts it is expected that many
Wenatchee boys who have Deen at
tending these stunts alone will show
up with a lady.

]. B. Olinger of the Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Growers association
reports the market on strawberries
to be holding up well. Good berries
are selling in Spokane and Seattle
at from $3.50 to $500. He thinks
the local market will be brisk and
stiff throughout the entire season,
owing to the fact that the crop is
short in so many places.

UNDER THE NEW LAW
Radical Change Made In 0skaloosa
City Government.

BY the new state law recently pass
ed by the legislature and which has
already become effective, radical
changes are made in the form of gov
eminent of this city, in the number
and length of terms of its councilmen
and in power given to the mayor BY
the law the mayor is the city's sole
executive officer, and the council is It's
legislative body. The mayor is to
make all appointments of officers not
elected, except the city clerk. The
terms of the five councilmen not
elected this year are extended one
year, lnel the number of councilmen
is reduced from ten to seven.
The important features of the bill
so far as this city is concerned, are the
additional powers vested in the mayor,
the frightening OF terms of the FIVE
councilmen, hereafter the election of
only one councilman from each ward,
and two at large. Because of the new
law there will be no city election next
year, when five councilmen were to
have been chosen.
Gives Mayor Much Power.
Not only does the law give the
mayor power to appoint the officers
which the council Gas hitherto chosen,
but it gives him the power to remove
them at will by filing written reasons
with the city clerk. In their appoint
meat or removal the city council mas
no, voice. This is not applicable to
the city clerk, which the council will
still choose. BY the law the mayor
win appoint city physician, street com
missioner, city engineer, chief of the
fire department and marshal. The
city council has no executive functions
whatever. unless expressly conferred
by law.
couneilmen Affected.
The term OF office OF the mayor Is
not changed, neither is the time of
his election, but in the cases OF five
of the present councilmen their terms
will be extended one year, and because
