I r. a. McNair and Mrs. Emma
Il. Shaw stole march on their
numerous friends last week by quiet
~ getting married without letting
anybody know about it. 1t was on
the glorious 4th of July that the
matter became public, and the high
contracting parties received con-
gratulatious amid the popping of fire
crackers and the eating Of icecream
lis well; we know of no more aus
plclouS time to announce the
happy event. The parties ara we'll
known to this committee and every
body wishes them long and happy
life under the marital yoke.
The Christian Scientists feel happy
over the defeat of the Owens medi-
cal bill in the last Congress, which
according to our information pro-
vided no other medical treat should
be practiced otherwise than through
the administration of drugs. The
mental healers of other schools and
osteopaths joined forces with the
Christian Science people in opposing
the measure. If people are barred
from praying for the enjoyment of
good health on the part of their
relatives and acquaintances. the fol-
lowers of the meek and lowly Jesus
might feel their efforts were greatly
hampered in the direction of we'll
doing.
Suit has been instituted by Mrs.
Ellen Allin to restrain Sheriff Gas
ton, and Mrs, Emma b. Shaw (now
Mrs. r. A. McNair) from selling her
realty property on Third street, to
satisfy Judgment of $685. award
ed as a bill and costs for dressmak-
ing. and Mrs. Allin also wants 800
damages for cloud to title, alleging
that if the debt had been a just one
against her she had enough personal
property that should have been lev
led upon, but that she is in no way
responsible, the debt having been
incurred by her sister, Miss Ander-
son, for whom she had acted as in
terpreter, the young lady being 81
years of age, capable of making the
contract, but defective in use of the
English language.
Tuesday evening at the beautiful
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Meyer, on Eastbay avenue, a num-
Der of the ladies of the Olympia
Equality Club were entertained by
the hostess. There were two gen.
tlemen present. Luncheon was served
to the guests and a few addresses
were delivered. One of the guests
observed that women employed in
the State-hOuse did great deal
more work than the men, who took
frequent vacations, leaving the lady
employees to attend to the business.
Another speaker said that she had a
husband with whom she was living,
she found she was not entitled to the
exemption from paying q personal
property tax the same as the other
sex. Everyone present had a good
time.
1t seems that City Attorney Bige-
low has not had things coming his
way satisfactorily, officially at least,
for some time past in the City Coun-
Gil, for he had been peremptorily or
dered to report upon some matters
that he had neglected. The other
day the Perky Trias said he had been
depOsed, for the remainder of the
year, and that the Mayor had been
to employ q competent
lawyer. A day or so afterwards, the
Tuins retracted the charge, far as
possible, by declaring that lawyer Is
rael had been substituted al inter-
cum, as Mr.. B. s wedding had caused
his suspension from duty. 1t looks
very much to "a man up o tree" as
if the Twins has attempted to palli-
ate their former comment. That
they had been guilty of breach of
party fealty and had again had to as
sumo their place in line with party
boosters.
Property-owners residing east of
the city limits, in Fourth street ad.
dition and vicinity, were visited re-
Gently by certain members of the
present city administration request
ing residents to sign q petition fav-
Oring annexation of some thirty-twOI
blocks of real estate to the present
boundary limits of Olympia east
ward. According to all accounts
the proposition did not meet with
favor on the part of the resident
interested owners, who do not fancy
an increase of local taxation and the
treatment certain of their city neigh
bOrs have received concerning street
assessments which concern much
more contractors than the property
owners themselves. who may be
called upon to foot the bills. Many
OF our neighhors living in this out
lying territory are emphatically OPP
posed tn annexation. under the pres
ent regime, not wishing to 60 through
the experience similar to that OF
parties living nearer the city hall,
who look at the cracks in the cement
sidewalks and reflect.
