Taken Under Amusement.

The case against four women of Pa
louise charged with conducting a house
OF ill-fame was before Justice DooIittle
o; Colfax Monday. 1t was brought here
on a change of venue. The attorney
for the women set up the claim that the
laws OF Washington prescribed that in
cases of change OF venue the trial must
take place before the nearest justice OF
the peace, provided the justice is quail
fed to sit in the case. Justice DoolittIe
took the matter under advise ment until
the 10th. There are five justice precincts
nearer to Palouse than Colfax. The
nearest one is Garfield, only nine miles.
Pennington, Elberton, Albion and Pull
man are all nearer.

AT THE RIDGEWAY THEATER
Paul Gilmore will Be in CeEfax on
Wednesday, May 10th.

Despite its groteeque name, Isaac
Henderson's play, The Mummy and
the Humming Bird, is not farce com
edy in which archaeology and ornithol
ogy struggle for mastery, but serious
treatment of the theme OF marital in
felicity, arising from unconscious neglect
on one side and hunger for affection on
the other. The restoration of love and
confidence and the discontinue of the
interloper are accomplised by series OF
events sufficiently out OF the ordinary
to pique the interest and sufficiently
dramatic to sustain the interest.
The play is one OF action rather than
OF character. The persons in it are
mostly OF ordinary type and even the
central characteristic husband i'm,
mersed in scientific research, the wife
driven to Irritation by his neglect. tie

Side Track to Flour Mill,

Work has been commenced to build
the side track leading from the turn
table above the passenger depot to the
-four mill, for which a permit was
granted by the city council some time
ago. Teams and scrspers are prepar-
ing the ground for the roadbed on which
the ties and rails must rest. The pur-
pose of this work is to load cars with
-four direct from the mill, instead oi
hauling it by team across the river to
the warehouse and loading it On cars
there. The -four mill is running full
time. and economy in time in loading
cars is worth looking after.

Park Buttons Are Here.

The park buttons arrived Monday. To
De in the swim a park button must
adorn the lapel OF your coat. They are
very neat, bearing the words, "City Park,
Colfax." They only cost a dollar each,
which is cheap as dirt, considering that
the ladies never refuse to pin one on
after it is sold. Besides, the money goes
for good purpose, and will probably
swell the park fund to a big amount.
The ladies having in hand the purchase
OF ground for park feel greatly encour.

There's Millions In t."

AS Colonel Sellers would say, "There's
millions in 1.-THE rain we mean. The
downpour this week, which commenced
Monday night, has practically assured
another bumper wheat crop the coming
season, which for time seemed to hang
in the balance. AS a consequence the
Palouse farmer is stepping high these
days. We could stand more rain, but
the Rubicon is passed, so to speak,
More will come. We never have failure

May Day Flowers.

Many complaints have been made of
the destruction OF flowers by children on
the night OF May 1st. 1t seems to be a
custom of late years for children to raid
flower gardens on the evening of May
1st. No serious objections have been
made to that, but the destruction of the
plants has caused much complaint. If
children must indulge in that kind Of
fun they should use care to not destroy
plants.

What Can and Cannot Be Done.
man who works with his muscles
cannot work more than eight hours a
day, but there is no such limitation upon
mental workers, according to an opinion
given by the attorney generals Office to
the state labor commissioner, which
holds that the eight hour law applies to
manual labor and not to entail effort,
In the case OF many occupations it is
almost impossible to draw the line, but
the law, it is said, does not apply to
guards, nurses, attendants or watchmen
at the state institutions, or to stenogra.
piers or bookkeepers.
A Fine Distinction in Law.
While there is no law prohibiting an
Indian from owning a saloon any person
who sells him liquor is liable to prosecu-
tion, says Attorney General Tanner in
an informal opinion given to the prose-
cutting attorney OF Thurston county.
The attorney general says that an
Indian can run a saloon provided he can
get his liquor without breaking the law,
which fOrbids the sale of intoxicating
liquors to Indians, but how this is to be
done is not explained. The point was
raised on account OF the fact that a
hall breed was running a saloon at
Bucoda. Thurston county.
w. ]. Roberts Is Eligible.
According to an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Tanner to the governor
W. j. Roberts will be able to qualify as
state highway commissioner, although
Tor time it was feared that the fact that
he had resided for some time in Oregon
and doubt as to his being a resident of
Washington might disqualify him. The
attorney general, however, has held that
he will be able to accept the place and
VIII be given the increase Of salary, as
be is not an elected officer, and as the
law raising the salary of the state high
way commissioner was signed by Gov
ernor Hay on the last day Of the term
OF the former highway commissioner.
Bowlby's term as highway commits
sioner expired on March 18th; March
18th fell on Sunday and therefore was
legal holiday. As a matter of fact the
new law was signed on the day the old
term expired and this, it is believed, dis
poses of the question as to whether the
new commissioner is entitled TO the in.
crease in salary, although as yet no
formal ruling has been made.
