tors office:
Mr.. Isadore Monheiiner, representing
Neustader Bros, Portland, has been in
terviewing Olympia merchants this
week. He says he makes larger sales
here than in some towns much more
pretentions.
The STANDARDS advertisers have
been receiving goods by the carloads
All are well-known, reliable business
men, and there is no occasion for going
to Tacoma or Seattle for wares usually
kept in first-class houses.
Mr.. l. Colvin has leased his farm of
2,40O acres near Tenino, to Marion
Dodge for one year, and proposes to de-

sermon: Walking with Cod; even
ing lecture: Working and Waiting"

All are cordially invited to attend.
The entertainment given for the bene-
fit of the Free Reading Room, Saturday
evening, was well attended. The pro-
gramme was rendered with credit to par
Elephants, and was satisfactory to audi
tors. AS an elocutionist, Miss Lola Col
Inns has few superiors among profession
al actors.
Last Sunday was not only Easter and
All FOOLS Day, but was also day OBJ
served by Celestials of this city, who
carried provisions of all kinds and de-
posted them upon the graves of their de-
parted. Presumably local CANNES will
relish this act of charity much more than
the departed spirits of the Disciples Of
Confucius.
Mr.. G. A. Barnes returned from his
trip to Southern California by this even
ing's train. He had been absent nearly
two months, without effecting any
marked improvement of health. his rheu-
matte affection having apparently be-
come chronic, and the relief experienced
by change of climate being only of a
temporary nature.
The sale has been consummated of
the Episcopal church property on Main
street to Mr.. J. A. Silsby, of this city.
The consideration was $500. The
trustees of the church will soon call for
bids for the construction of a magnificent
church edifice to be located on the lots
adjoining the church's parsonage, on
Washington street.
Some of the guests at a late marriage
feast, in this vicinity can testify that
all wine used on such occasions is
not unfermented, if reports be true, and
their hating gait, as they wendell their
way homewards under the mild star-lit
skies is an indication that The wine served,
like that kept to the last on the memoir
able occasion noted of old, was indeed
good"
Mr.. Charles Talcott has begun the
erection of fine residence on his lot
corner of sixth and Main streets, now
occupied by the family tenement which
will be torn down soon as the timbers
are ready for the foundation of the new
building. 1t will be "a by AZ feet in size,
IL stories high, with an L for kit
chen of one story and ~ by "a feet. The
building, when completed will cost about
$1,000.
1t will be observed by reference to an
advertisement, in this issue that Mr..
Colvin, prominent farmer living near
Tenino, will sell on the premises, at
public auction, next Friday, a fine as
sortment Of farming implements, horses,
wagons, buggies, etc. Here is a splen-
did opportunity for buying farm necesi-
ties at much less than the cost of new
articles, many of which, for prac-
teal service are as good as when they
come from the factory.

The fourth term Of the Olympia Collie.
giate Institute begins next Monday, April
8. Special classes are to be formed, and, as
many of the older students are compelled
to leave on account of business, farm work,
etc, more attention will be devoted to the
work in other grades. The Grammar grade
includes the Fourth and Fifth Reader
studies. Terms for this grade will be Sc
per quarter. AS the public schools are
about to close, this will afford excellent
opportunity for pupils to continue their
studies until the middle of June. During
the time before the May examinations,
the classes in the Normal department
will be of special value to those teachers
who can be in attendance.
An Olympia audience is an anon
ally in some respects. 1t comes
when it pleases, does what it pleases,
