RAILROAD TIcKETs.-It is certainly
q matter Of congra,ulation to the cit
liens of Olympia to be able to pur-
chase tickets to all points east at
their own city. Parties going east
over the Northern Pacific and Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Short
Line, the principal connection of the
Northern Pacific Railway from st.
Paul to Chicago can now obtain their
tickets Of Mr.. S. G.. Ward, at Olym-
pia. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Short Line is the one which
gave such satisfaction to the Oregon
Pioneers on their excursion last fall,
and it is more than probable that
the Committee on Transportation
will select this line for the Washing
ton Territory excursion, because by
so doing greater comforts and con-
veniences can be secured by this line
than by any other, and instead Of
having to 60 and return by the same
route the excursionists could have
the choice of any one of their three
lines between St. Paul and Chicago
and return by any other they might
choose,

RESISTING AN OFFIcEe.-Last week
a warrant was placed in the hands
of Sheriff Hesaas, of Mason county,
for the arrest of John Doyle,
charged with destroying the logging
railroad track belonging to Mr.. Nc.
Reavy where it passed over his farm.
1t seems that Doyle had been
awarded $500 damages, but this did
not satisfy him, and he proceeded to
take the law into his own hands,
when the owners of the track OBJ
tanned q warrant for his arrest on a
charge OF malicious destruction of
property. Sheriff Hegaas, when lie
endeavored to serve the warrant,
was resisted by Doyle, who aimed
rifle at him and declared that lie
would not be taken alive, whereupon
the officer summoned posse and
demanded a surrender. Doyle
opened fire on the party from be-
hind tree, and finally ran into his
house, occasionally opening the door
and discbarging his weapon at
the ambush where the officers
men remained. The fire was re-
turned al intervals, the officer aim
lug at the door, whenever Doyle
opened it to renew the fi.ht. FL
nally, after an apparent cessation of
hostilities, rush was made for the
building. the doors battered down,
and Doyle was found lying on the
floor, wounded, but still supporting
his rifle in a menacing attitude. He
surrendered, however, and was at
once lodged in Jail, to answer for a
higher crime than that for which he
had been sought. Great credit is due
Mr.. Hegaas for his management of
this unpleasant business without
taking the life of the rash man, who
forfeited all claim to it when he
placed the law at open defiance.

The Nation, an Independent polit-
ical journal noted for the clearness
of its views and its dispassionate
manner of commenting on currant
topics, says of the closing scenes in
the Chicago Convention, that the
narrative of "the Blaine crowds"
performances at that evenings ses-
sion reads more like an account of q
mass meeting of maniacs than any
thing else. They were all evidently
under orders to yell their utmost
whenever Blaine's n me was men
toned by anybody. They interrupt
ed their own speakers as we'll as
those of other candidates, and When
ever there was a pause for moment,
shouted Blaine. Anything more alb
surd than the display of a helmet
with white plume upon it, which
was the climax of the enthusiasm,
it would be difficult to conceive; but
it was conceived and executed when,
in response to Judge Foraker's cas-.
ual allusiun 10 Blaine, the heImi'
was borne to aud fro through the
hall amid perfect bowls of admira-
ton and delight. The plume was
the invention of Bob Ingersoll eight
years ago, and it is melancholy to
reflect that while it remains as the
oliflamme of the Blaine boom, Bob
himself has lost faith in it. No
other reason for Blaine's nomination
has been found TO take its place
The speeches of the men who nomi
mated him will lie searched in vain
for one. The only advocate who
came anywhere near giving one was
poor Tom Plat, who was put upon
the platform to say that he was in
favor of Blaine's nomination because
"his turn had come"

The Pacific Journal tells q beauti.
full story of maiden of twelve cum
mers who resides on the bank of the
romantic Chehalis, near where the
Wishkah joins its waters with that
stream. The vision of Juno with
her chariot drawn by peacocks, is
wildly presented by the picture
which the narrative portrays: The
rural damsel referred to is an ardent
admirer of Aquatic sports. Not
long since she caught two beautiful
young salmon, which she put in a
small pond near her home, feeding
them regularly, and giving them all
the attention possible. They grew
to be SO tame and gentle that they
would eat food from her hand, and
allow her to handle them as she
chose. The greatest triumph was
accomplished about q week ago,
when the little maid harnessed her
finny pets to small row-boat, and
with silk threads for reins, she
skinned hither and thither over the
placid waters of the Chehalis with
her novel team, exciting admiration
and open-mouthed wonder from all
sidee. It 10 said that a terrific
speed is sometimes attained with
this strange outfit, or when the
driver wants to let 'em out.
