Three members of the city council at a special meeting last night at which only four members were pres ent at the time, passed to the third reading an ordinance abolishing the office of poundmaster. Adjournment was then taken until Monday morn ing, as it will require a majority vote of the full council to place the ordi nance on final passage. This move on the part of the administration was foi scasted by the Statesman Wednes iay evening ami it was hy no means a coup" or a "surprise." as the ma cl le organ exultantly declares. 'he introduction of this ordinance w < a confession on the part of the members of the council who voted to oust B. K. Harding, the Grand Army veteran, from the position to which he w;ts legally elected, that they had vio lated tlit- law and were taking this means of extricating themselves from a sorry predicament But "the smile Of satisfaction that played across the faces of th-' city officials present" he cause of the smart trick that was be ing played was a little premature. A little study of the city charter would save some members of the city's offi cial family from the chagrin that comes from making blunders through' Ignorance of the law. The Statesman has had to call the mayor and council down finite fre quently in the past because of the flagrant violation of the plain provis ions of the charter and it finds it ne - essary to do so again. For example, when the mayor last April attempted to nominate a chief of police to he confirmed by the council he acted ab solutely without authority of law. An other inexcusable blunder was made whten the council attempted to recon sider the election of a poundmaster who had filed his bond and qualified for the office after being duly elected. Now in an effort to head off a law suit arising from this injustice to a good citizen and a worthy old soldier of the Union the mayor and part of the council have blundered once more. The special meeting of the council last night was plainly illepal and its action was. therefore, null and void. Regarding meetings of the council Section 44 of the city charter says: 'The council must provide for tbe time and place of its regular meetings, at any of which it may adjourn to the next regular meeting, or to some time prior thereto, and it may he convened by the mayor ;it any time upon a day's notice given to each of the members through the city clerk." Yesterday af ternoon, according to a custom that has prevailed contrary to law for some time under the present administration, members of the council were notified by telephone or by messenger that a special meeting of the council would he held last night This notice did not comply with the provision of the char ter regarding special meetings and the meeting held last night was, therefore illepal and its action in passing th« ordinance abolishing the office of poundmaster to its third readme: was null and void. The mayor and the members of the council voting with him on this proposition will be under New Line of Novelties Bracelets, Hat Pins, Silver Deposit Bottles, Stick Pins, Brooches, Etc.

A careful and prayerful study of the city charter might save them from getting into similar dilemmas in the future. The introduction of a bill for a pub lic building in Walla Walla by Sena tor Ankeny is nothing new. Represen tative Jones has been in the habit of introducing such bills for the accom modation of every city in the state ever since he entered congress, but few of them have got farther than the committee room. Speaker Cannon has given the country to understand that this congress is to make a record for economy and that no public building hills will be passed. That will give Senator Ankeny's bill a poor show and it is doubtful whether it will fare much better in the senate than in the house. However, everybody will wish the senator success in putting the bill through and he cannot practice upon anything better for his home town. If the people of this city could vote on the question they would almost unanimously endorse Councilman Smith's resolution giving ten acres of the city's land to the Stubblefield home. It seems to be the last chance to secure the home within the short time remaining under the terms of the will. DEATH OF SENATOR HAMILTON. The Tacoma News says: The announcement of the death of Edward S. Hamilton creates profound sorrow in the city of Tacoma, where the deceased was best known and be loved. For many years Mr. Hamilton had been one of the most prominent and successful business men of the city as well as one of its most distin guished and honored public men. His long service as state senator has been an unbroken record of fidelity and de votion to the interests of the city, the county and the state. No public man ever enjoyed a more deserved popular ity in this city. He was admirably fitted by temperament, special and un usual qualifications and long experi ence for political life. His ambitions were pure, high and honorable. He was in the prime of life and had ac quired through energy and industry in business the moans to enable him to gratify his inclinations for participa tion in public service. Edward S. Hamilton was actuated both by a love of politics and a sincere and fervent patriotism to serve his constituency. It involved constant sacrifices of time and money but these sacrifices were generously, freely made. There was not a small or selfish trait in his char acter. He had hosts" of friends to whom he was loyal as steel. He had apponents, hitter opponents, as every man of positive convictions, worthy ambitions and a record of successful achievements always has. hut there was no opponent who did not bear for him genuine respect and unconcealed esteem. Edward S. Hamilton was a born leader. Such men as he are too rare in this community and this state. That far higher honors and distinctions were in store for him than he had attained no one who knew him could for a mo ment doubt. He was the most capable politician in tiie legislature if not in the state. He had indomitable energy, admirable tact, resourcefulness and the spirit of a leader. He was recog nized by everyone who knew him as a man of great worth and ability as well as of lovable traits. His death brings sorrow and keen disappoint ment to a multitude of friends and ap preciative admirers. Edward S. Ham ilton's death leaves a large place va t-ant which it will be difficult for any other man to fdl. Sympathy is extended to those who will feet the most bitter grief at the death of the one nearest to them in th.c home death has entered and pierc ed a shining mark. In this bereave ment a city and a state mourn their own loss, but there are deeper griefs in which the public do not fully share. It is a cruel fate that all too early ends the brilliant and promising career of Edward S. Hamilton and brings the sense of keen personal loss and heart felt sympathy for the bereaved family to the people of the city and the com monwealth he proudly loved and ably served. 00-Ja-Mo Coffee still leads at Mun tingas.

When a person claiming to be an Osteopath locates in your city and you desire his services, first learn whether he holds a diploma from a reputable college of osteopathy.

This suggestion is made in the interest of geneuine osteopathy. Not every man who calls himself an osteopath is an osteopath. Numerous ignorant and unprincipled fakers who pretend to be osteopaths are abroad in the land See that you are not imposed upon. NOTICE OF ANNUAL ELECTION.
