Mr.. Giles filled an order from Mis-
soula. Montana, for shell-fish, the other
day, with the following result to the
purchaser: One sack of oysters and
two boxes of CLAIMS were invoiced to
the buyer at $3.50. When they
were delivered, the transportation
charges amounted to $3.50, making a
total of S24.25 as the cost of the ship
ment. Whether the Montana man
can stand these rates or not, he fails to
state, but it is probable that he will
invest his spare change in Hrer here
after when he is looking for a luxury.

As an evidence that the capital city
is rapidly augmenting her population,
the fact may be cited that between 400
and 5OO pupils are now in regular at.
tendance at our various public and pri-
vate schools. And yet it is in the
memory of "big" boys and girls that
our teacher and his assistant managed
pretty we'll to take care of all the
children of school age turned out by
Olympia, including both the eastern
and western portions of town. II will
be remembered, however, tina, in those
blessed old days, the walloping stick
and ruler were important factors in
school discipline.
After painful illness of nearly n
years duration, Van. f. Woodland,
only son Of DIR. A. b. Woodland, died

years and one month. Deceased unit
ed in his character all those sterling
qualities which are SO indispensable to
the formation OF true young manhootl

Der of Olympia Collegiate Institute

dence of superior scholarship and ex-
emplary department. The funeral

Charley Talcott deserves special
credit for his efforts to secure town
clock for this city, which have at last
been successful, although several hun
dred dollars yet remain to be collected
if the striking attachment is used, for
the purchase Of bell of adequate size
and proper tone. Mr.. Talcott would
like to older a bell of about GOO pounds
weight and of the best composition,
but if the means are limited may have
to put up with something cheaper. 1t
should be matter of pride to our citi-
Gems TO secure the best when the out
lay required is So small, and the service
rendered may be an hourly and per-
pctual reminder of parsimony if the
best is not obtained. Every dollar
helps. Let those who feel interest
contribute something, be it little or
much, for this object. The subscrip-
ton paper is in Mr.. Talcott's store.
The sensation of the week has been
the disturbance in the church at Tum-
water last Sunday evening, caused by
the cOwhiding of Fred. Ward by G. w.
Manvill. 1t seems that Manvlll en-
tered the church during the service,
and walking up to Ward pulled a raw
hide from his pocket and proceeded to
Justify lay it over the young mans
shoulders until members OF the con-
gregation interfered and put an end to
further hostilities. Manvill states as
justification of the act, in part, that
Ward had been making sport of his
son who had attended the revival
meetings, and had continued his per-
secutiOns until fOrbearance had ceased
to be a virtue. Monday morning Man
will came to this place and plead guilty
to an assault before Justice Thompson,
who fined him S. for assault, SIS for
disturbing religious meeting, and
costs, in all amounting to SIS. The
same day residents of Tumwater held
a meeting and determined to prosecute
