ina on the 23d and 2ith prox. 1t should
have been May 10th. Rev. r. H. Mas

ces, this may be true, but not in a gen
eral sense. Last week. STANDARD mere
ly asked, ''Where is the street sprink-
ler?" This week, there is no demand
for street sprinklers.

business men; men who have succeeded
well in enhancing their own financial in

Our esteemed friend Brad w. Davis
seems to be considerably Anuie-mated
over the idea of attending the session of
the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias
in Eastern Washington next month, a
leave of absense having been given him

in the First National Bank for the occa
sion.

sumption. The funeral will take place
from the family residence, on Adams
Goth at 2 o'clock p. NJ All friends of the
Logging camps are now in active oper-
alton, giving employment to scores Of
men. The wages paid laborers is good
as on any portion of the Sound. Some are
inclined to opinion there is not much de-
mand for laborers in the vicinity of Olym-
pia, but such is not the case. 1t has
been fully demonstrated in the past. as
well as present, that those who desire
employment at fair rate Of cOmpensa
ton need not go many miles from Olym-
pia to find situations.
There will be Prohibition party meet
ing at Tacoma hall. on Saturday May
9Th, at eight y. ". 1t will be addressed

ell. The STANDARD is requested 10 state
that the LADIES of all parties are cordially
invited TO attend, and bring their hus-
bands, and big brothers to listen to a
full discussion OF the leading question of
the day. He who turns deaf ear to
either side of question of such vital im-
portance as temperance politics. is not
wise.
Wednesday night, some party or par
ties forced an entrance into the Sheriff s
Office and confscated the delinquen. tax
roll The same night, an attempt was
made, presumably by the same party or
parties, to enter Judge Roots office,
which was Intellectual. It is somewhat
remarkable that nothing in the Sheriff's
office was disturbed, save the tax-list,
and for what purpose they wished to
forcibly enter Judge Roots office is a
still greater mystery, as the Judge never
leaves any of the circulating medium in
his Office, when he goes home Of even
in2s.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of Boston, the
distinguished author and patriot, gave a
private reception, under the auspices of
the WOman's Club, at the residence of

told the members much Of the objects
and workings of other Woman's Clubs Of
the country and recited for them that
grand lyric poem. "The Battle Hymn
OF the Republic" and "The Flag" and
others Of her composition. The visit
from this good and great woman will
long he remembered by those who
listened th her stirring tones. =
