Contractors Earn the $50-000 Bonus fered by the CitizensAn Olympia dispatoli to the Seattle Press lias the following, which will be read with interest by Capt. F. D. Huestis* friends:

The Northern Pacific line to Gray's Harbor reached Olympia Jan. 1, at Doon and earned the §50,000 subsidy. When work was finished ut 5 p, m. trains whistled 15 minutes. Three engines with cars entered the limits Workmen were given lunch by contractors Griggs and Heustis. Though wor^ out with the unusual labors of the last ten days, it was a jolly c.owd. Hufestis was seen that morning. He said that as soon as side tracks were in and the road was ballasted to faciliate travel regular trams would be run between here and Tacoma. This will reduce the time greatly, and it will be very SOOD. Several hundred people went out to the scene of construction. It was a matter of §50,000 to the citizens, but the contractors earned it, with two hours to spare.

®®A Dangerous ZouDg Criminal, The grand jury lias returned one indictment which lias been keept very quiet, owing to the heiuousuess of the crime. The arrest was made to-iav and strange to say the court retea ed the offender on bond. He is well known here and hiB arrest iniy be somewhat of a surprise. His name is Daniel Sullivan. familiarly kuowu as "Skoot." The villai ous crime waB committed over a month ago and it consisted in nabbing a piece of chicken and a piece of lish from the lunch couutor of A1 Harwood. The total prica of the property stolen was not over 20 cents, but he has nevertheless been placed under a §200 bond and will have to answer for the offense if convicted. His bondsman is Wm.

Houlihan.

SAYS ITS A LIE-

W. F. Pettit Indignantly Denies the Authenticity of the Alleged Letter. Saturday a telegram from Columbus, Ohio, tta'.td that a letter has been found in Pettit's desk at Columbus, Ohio, which mokes a confession of his guilt aud wholly exonerates Mrs. Whitehead. Immediately upon the receipt of the telegram THE JOURNAL waited up Mr. Pettit at the jail and found him engaged in playing ohess with a friend. He was shown the telegram anil asked if there was anything in it. Ho first read it through and then vehemently exclaimed "It's false! It is as false aB siu He then assumed his usual composed demeanor and continue! with a smile "No, you see my friend C. G. Longyear brought home all my papers from Columbus, and he brpught home everything I had written myself and everything that anyone else bad written to me. Upon consideration, however, I believe he did leave some blank letter heads of mine and from the possession of these some person has hatched up the sensation. I have i^o hesitancy, whatever, in proclaiming the whole story a canard and denouncing it as abso'utely false. I haven't anything moretosiy."

Further questioning brought forward nothing additional and only a reiteration of the above. The whole thing is probably the work of some unscrupulous party who found the letter heads in the desk of Pett and forged a letter to create a sensation.

Should the Uity Do Its Own Lighting? To buy or not to buy is the question which is being discussed by our City Fathers concerning a Eystem of electric lights. Since the Council his passed a resolution authorizing the purchase of a plant there has been con uderable discussion pro aud con on the step. One gentleman who is opposed to tho city making such an investment has furnished THE JOURNAL with the figures of the cost of running which we herewith give. As it is a matter of importance botla sides slioulu have a fair hearing. This is the way that gentleman figures: Interest on J2ii,000 at 5 per cent 11,250 Salary of Superintendent 800 Cost of fuel )oo Salary of Rleetrlcian H00 Salary of three subordinate at $40 per month 1,440 Cost of earbon U'JO Cost of repairs 250 Cost ol' water supply 200

Annual depreciation from service 5 per cent 1,250

Total $7,310 Which is an annual cost of §73.10 per light. Now, siys this gentleman, the present company proposes to furnish on equal number of lights at a stated oost to the city of §50 per light per annum. He thinks it would be to the best interest of the tax-payer to accept the company's proposition rather than

IKHHI

the city for §25,000, and thus pay an annual operating expense of §2,300 more than the present company proposes to furnish tho same number of lights.

Supreme Court Decision-

The Supreme Court has this week disposed of two cases appealed from thi couuty. In th case ol Lucy Davis vs. Emily Huttou, et. a!., they say: In 1801 appellant's husband became tho owner of certain real estate, apart of the purchase-price of which he did not at the time pay. In 1805 ho was by tho proper court declared insane, and a guurdiau appoinSed for him who subsequently procured an order from the proper court for the sale of the iid lmd to pay the unpaid purohaso money and other debts, aud said lan 3 was sold by the guardain under said order. Appellant was not a party to tho proceeding to sell. The husband died intestate, in 1883. Held: That the payment of the balance of the purchase-price by the guardian had the same effect as if paid by tho husband that, their being no authority for the wife to join in the guardian's deed, it must be presumed she did not join and that the appellant was entitled to one-third of the entire tract of land, but not to any interest in the increased value of tho land by reason of lasting and valuable improvements made between the date of tho guardian's sale and her husband's death.

The case of Harwood & Hamilton vs. The Montgomery County Agricultural Society wo* also reversed on account of an erroneous instruction given by tho lower court to the jury, in regard to the measure of damages. Tho first of those cases was tried bv Judge Mack, of Torre mte,aud tho other by Jud^e Ribb, of Williamf-port.

Pleasant to the taste, surprising quick in effect and economical ia price—no wonder that Dr. Bull's Cough Svrup is he leading preparation of its kind.

HERE'S YOURUHANCE LADIES-

By These Presents Learn Ye of a Gallant Bean Pole Ou Which toHang Your Morning Glory.

It is a puz/.lo past finding out why it is that in this ago of a superabundance of marriageable females aud a paucity of marriageable males, that a gentleman good character and fortune should fruitlessly drag his soine through tho waters of the matrimonial sea. Yet list you while we do a tale unfold which will curdle your amorous blood nnd cause every individual hair to stand on end.

The hero of this sketch is Wm. Bolan, of Shawnee Mound. He was born and raised in the Scotch Protestuiit counties of old Irel lud aud there received a liberal education. In young manhood he came to Canada an 1 after spending some years there finally sottled down at Shawnee Mound in Tippecanoe couuty. He is a local preacher and a man of almoit wonderful eloquence. Posessoil of a vast stock of information us varied as it is complete, he is known familiarly as tho "walking enclyclopedia." His character is beyond reproach and he owns a valuable farm besidoa much personal property. Ho is well advanced in years though of a commanding presence and splendid physique. His magnitioent voice is the envy of all tho ministers who know him although'he speaks a rich Scotch Irish brogue which howover detracts nothing from tho dignity of his speech.

Yet this gentleman with all his distinguished excellencies has boon engaged in numerous matrimonial ventures of late which have so far proved unsuccessful aud whioh have caused mu -h merriment among his friends on Shawnee Prairie.

The old gentleman took a great interest in tho Pottit case and denounced Pettit in unmeasured terms for doing so dreadlul a thing as poisoning his wife. He was a pretty regular attondont upon the trial and driving into the stable of J. J. Insley one morning ho put up his team and inquired for a nice quiet boarding house. He was recommended to tho house kept by Mrs. Blank and daughters on Market street. Ho then stated that he was in search of a wife. Hdid not want an old woman he said nor yet a giddy young thing who would soon get tired and go seeking now pastures, and he asked Mr. Insley if he knew where he might obtain one. Never dr-aming that ho would act upon the suggestion Mr. Insley laughingly informed him that ho might look around at his boarding house aB there were three unmarried ladies there. Mr. Bolan said nothing, but bolted off at ouce to tho Blank house in search of the commodity desired. Entering into the presence ol' the astonished inmates ho addressed them scmewhat after this manner: "Whist leddies! I beau William Bolan, of ould Shawnee Prairie. I have and hould a goodly farm aud am a good man. I wist frao information giveu that in this house I find two widowed leddies aud a spinster marriageable.

Thou seest a mon langing tor a yoke make tried and thruo. Now should much beholden be if wan of ye should find in mo a gallant beau pole oil which to hung your morning glory."

Poetic thought! The clock sloop still aud held up both of its hands. Tho ladios almost paralyzed could only staud while the old gentlemau with in delay asked for liotol accommodations 1 proceeded to make himself at home. He is said to have urged suit valiantly, ut to no avail in ut least throe distinct quarters, but finally in nowise disheartened ho returned to Shawnee whore Cupid again subdued him. He saw there one Sunday Mrs. Eliza Meharry, of Eaton, Ohio, who was visiting relatives and straightway penned her an amatory screed in which ho coyly asked if he would not be a g&llant bean polo upon which Mrs. Meharry might hang her morning glory. As Mrs. Meharry had already secured a "bean pole" having married only a few days ago to Chicago gentleman,) she was forced to decline. A Mrs. Coon, of near Newtown, was next offered a "bean pole," and what is now the state of affairs we are unable to say The stories all come from most reliable sources and the material facts may be depended upon. Mr.

Bolan is considered very eccentric in his matrimonial views oiul when proposing alwaj makes use of tho ilower) figure in which he is described as a "beau polo" and tho lady's maiden alloctious as a "morniug glory."
