theater-goers tonight when the Min
strel Maids will hold the boards at
the Wenatchee Theater. This COM

are well acquainted, have gathered
together a charming company OF
pretty girls who can sing and dance,
and a show worth more than the
price asked is the result. Tiny Miss
Halcyon, a whole show in herself,
has been retained, and several OF
The best of the former juveniles are

After all it is relief to the coun-
try that Senator Tillman did not
challenge Senator DolIiver to duel.
West virginians are proud of Sen
ator Dolliver, being native Of the
State, and are glad he was not sub
iected to such an insult. The State
is also glad to hear that the Senator
from South Carolina did not lose his
head to such an extent. The Tele-
gram is also glad that both Senator'S
are friendly one toward the other.

Some of the school Districts have
longer school terms than heretofore,
and, patrons should see that their
children are given advantage of
these. Unless this is done longer
terms mean a waste of money and a
taxation that ought not to be. Again,
wherever the terms are longer,
there ought to be a State law com
pelling the pupils to attend school
longer than where the terms are
short. - -

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The Court held brief session on
Monday with all the judges on the
bench.
c. A. Small Esq, presented
petition to contest the recent cleo
tion in the Boro of West Berwick.
H. A. McKillip Esq, resisted the
issuance of rule because he claim
ed that the petition included many
persons who were regularly elected
and whose seats were not in ques-
ton. And further he maintained
that the petition was fatally defec
tive in that it did not allege specific
fraud and in what manner a wrong
had been done any candidate. While
it is true that an error was made in
printing the ticket for Counclmen
and School Directors. the tickets
were correct in every other parti-
cular and it was a fatal defect to
ask for rule on any other candi-
dates. Mr.. Small contended that
the ticket being defective it vitiated
the entire election which should be
set aside.
Judge Evans did not grant a rule
but took the petition under advise
ment and will render decision on
the goth.

when DR.. Hatch will present the
subject of local option.
The clergymen adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas it is believed by us and
very large majority of the men,
bers of the churches we represent
that the liquor traffic is an unuix
ed evil wherever it exists, and
makes no adequate return for the
loss and expense it entails upon
society in crime and pauperism and
that the institution of the saloon is
utterly un-American in that it
brings only loss, shame and sorrow
where it exists. without the right
or privilege of the voter or citizen
to choose fer or against it and the
present License system imposes it
upon the whole community at the
request of any II men and often
forces it upon an unwilling people
at the discression of one man. who
may be judge of the Court.
Therefore resolved, That we

FLOBERT RIFLES.
Somebody Liable TO Get Into Trouble i the
Practice Of Shooting Them in the
Town Does Not Cease.

A boy and Flobert rifle is bad
combination. Usually boy and
any kind of an instrument with
which mischief can be done is an
unfortunate combine, for the mis-
chiet is likely to be done.
1t was in view of this fact that
the legislature of this state in 1903
passed law on the subject of using
Flobert rifles, air guns, or spring
guns on the streets or alleys of any
city or borough.
The act reads as follows:
"Be it enacted &c, That six
months after the passage OF this
act, it will be unlawful for any per
son to discharge on the streets or
alleys OF any city or borough, in
the commonwealth, a Flobert rife,
air gun, or any implement which
impels with force a metal pellet of
any kind.
Any person violating this act,
shall be arrested and fined in the
sum of five dollars, before any com
mitting magistrate; and for the
second offense, shall be fined in the
sum OF fifteen dollars, and may
undergo an Imprisonment in the
county Jail for a period not less
than ten days, nor exceeding thirty
days, the person so offending to
pay all cost of prosecution"
The law went into effect on Oct
ober IS, 1893.
Somebody is violating it frequent
". There are a number of boys
in town who have flobert rifles, and
they are going about, amusing
themselves by shooting cats and
other things just for amusement.
Perhaps if they realized that they
might be made to pay five dollars
and the cost, for the first offense, and
20 to Jail for 80 days and pay hf-
teen dollars for the second oftense,
they would not be so reckless.
When a dog or cat Is doing dam
age on private property it may be
driven away, and if it persists it
may be shot if necessary 10 stop it,
But it is cruelty to animals 20 shoot
cat Just for fun, and for this an
ether penalty may be imposed. So
that it might be quite an expensive
amusement.
Apropos of this subject. on last
Sunday morning valuable Angora
cat was shot in the hip with flo.
bert rifle. 1t is a trick cat, and
believed to be entirely harmless. 1t
was not killed, but badly mussed
up, and put out of business for the
time being. 1t is now improving,
and will recover.
