AFTER all that has been said and
is still said about business depres-
sion in this vicinity, careful inves-
tigation will show conclusively that,
all things considered, far-seeing busi-
ness men have little need to be fear
full as to what is in the near future.
Our merchants themselves know full
we'll that each year the amount of
goods sold is increasing at rapid
rate. The question so often asked.
"What becomes Of all the goods
brought here by rail and steamer !?
is easily and quickly answered by say
ing that our rapidly increasing coun-
try population makes way with them.
1t would Justly be accounted great
calamity if it were to turn out that
we had nothing outside of town to
back up our business. But we have
an abiding market, and one, too,
that must still! go on increasing as
the years come and go. To speak
of drygoods and hardware alone, the
quantities daily and weekly sold
would be quite beyond the belief OF
q casual observer. Not q train nor
steamer arrives without bringing
Shipments in this line to some one of
oar dealers. These facts are indu-
bitable evidences that, notwithstand-
b2g all the complaints OF the faith
less ones, we have u backbone for
business prosperity that never can
be broken.

LATE dispatches announce that
portions of Missouri, Nebraska and
Kansas have been laid waste by q
terrific cyclone. The storm occurred
on the 3lst ult., and extended
through several counties, causing q
fearful destruction of life and pro-
porty. Five persons are reported as
having been killedin one house at Del
phos, Mo. The rushing wind made u
furrow one hundred yards wide
through everything that it encoun-
tered. The direction of the storm was
from southwest to northeast, and it
seems. first to have struck the
earth in northern Kansas, taking in
its course the southeastern part of
Nebraska, and nearly the whole Of
the northern tier of counties in Mis-
souri,. Tho number of wounded
people is very great and the neigh
boring cities are doing all that can
be done in caring for the suffers.

Monday night, was o delightful sur
prise to the large audience in attend
ance, embracing as it did. so many
features of interest. Mrs. Thomas,
Vice President, who occupied the

stirring appeal for active and con-
tinued effort in stemming the tide OF
intemperance. She was followed by
other ladies in brief addresses, read.

well arranged and affecting tableaux,
entitled Rescue the Perishing'
and "The Perishing Rescued" We

that the League may again avail
itself of the talent it possesses fol
affording q pleasant evenings recre.

PROBABLY the largest raft of pipe
logs that ever passed through the
draw of West Olympia bridge, was
towed up to Tumwater a few days
ago, by the steamer Capital. Mr..
Henderson informed us that the
boom was estimated to contain about
fifty thousand feet, running. measure.
If these logs were extended in
straight line, they would reach nine
miles two thousand four hundred
and eighty feet. Few of our citizens

money invested in the machinery and

Company, or the business transacted

A Strange Freak.

From the Charleston IN. c. Observer
About three year ago the Observer re-
ported the case of citizen of this county
who, having married in 1843. lighted Ere
on his hearth-stone as soon as he took his
bride to his new home, and had kept il
burning ever since. The citizen was in
town yesterday, and, being questioned
about the matter stated that the fire was
still burning, and that throughout all these
thirty-six years it had never been allowed
TO go out. Questioned as to whether or
not it made the house uncomfortably hot
in torrld weather, he said the extra heat
thus generated was not perceptible. In
reply to another question, he said that in
summer weather, when it was necessary
for comforts sake to keep the fire burning
very low, he had TO get up frequently at
night to replenlsh it slightly, but that he
counted this as nothing when he contem-
plated the idea of the fire going out. He
has evidently formed for it strong attach
meDt, and yet one would not take him for a
sentimental man. But this fire is to him
a constant reminder of the day when he
first brought home his bride. Around il
his children have grown up into manhood
and womanhood, and their children have
gazed into its light. 1t was the last light
that tell upon the eyes of his wife. and he
hopes that it will be the last that will fall
upon his. Viewed thus, the sentiment in
the matter can be understood, and SC
strong is this sentiment that with the old
man it amounts almost TO passion.

The incident Sprague ConkIing has furn
ished further evidence of the low lived
partnership of the Associated Press.
But one curt despatch was sent by the
Associated Press and that was intended
to shield Conkling by coming the lie about
the Professor Linck. No correction nor
elaboration of that first dispatch has been
sent and the newspapers which pay the
Associated Press immense sums for news
have had to rely on specials for the truth
about the affair. Let it be remembered
that this is the same Associated Press
which sends to its customers every SANDER
on President TildeD, every Republican lie
that be coined about u Democrat, every
partizan Misrepresentation possible in the
interest of the Republican party, but that
summarily stiles Blaine's Mulligan letter,
Belknap's post leadership sales and Conk
| ling's lasciYious escapade. When the PEG
