S Mr.. A. B. Brown, who has been Sc
journing in Southern California tn
!, past six months, as Z means OF restorin
his health, which had been impaire
by close application to business, IT
turned Saturday evening, in fin
spirits and much improved by TEN
porary change OF his habits OF life.
A party OF three gentlemen, Will
sailing on the bay, last Sunday, at
tempted to make tack, and through
mismanagement were capsized nea
Horr's wharf Two boats that hap
pened to be near put out to their as
sis;ance, and arrived in time to pre-
vent any further damage to the parties
than thorough ducking.
Mr. and Mrs. +. c. Van Epps, and
their daughter Iva, returned from i
trip east of the mountains Sunday
evening. Mr.. V. was delegate to the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, and af-
ter the session closed spent several
days in visit to his sister, Mrs. Gun

The residence OF d. ii. Hendrick-
son, on Eastside, was entered by
burglars on Wednesday night. They
were rewarded by getting watch
valued at $40 and Sc in cash, the con-
tents of Mr.. HIS pants pocket. His
pants were found next morning out
in the street Several other houses
were entered, but with what result We
were unable to learn.
A burglar entered the residence of
Judge Henry, on Eastside, about two
O'Clock, Wednesday morning, and
stole from a work-box, in one of the
bedrooms, a $40 greenback. Entrance
was effected by sitting-room win
dow. Il trestle in the yard having been
used to'climb up to the SILL. 1t was

quainted with the house.
Mr.. II. H. Delano, of Portland, Or
egon, was in town last week, returning
from Aberdeen, where he had been
sent by the Merchants Protective
Union to settle up the bankrupt affairs
of Payette & Co., of that city. Mr.. ID.
is an old resident of Portland, and a
brothcr-in-law of our townsman, Mr..
S. G. Ward. His father WAS for many
years editor of the New Orleans Plea
yune.
A man named Lannay came to
town on Wednesday and put up at
one OF our hotels. He claims to
have been robbed of $25 in his room
that night. He also says he does not
drink, but his appearance Thursday
morning impressed several who saw
him with strong suspicion that he
was so absent-minded that he didn't
remember GLOWING himself in"
against bug-juice, stud-poker and
fast women.
The residence of Mr.. Hartsoek, on
Eastside, was burglarized, Wednesday
night, and gold ring and a silver
card case, Of an aggregate value of
about 500, obtained by the enterprising
operator. A sash that wasn't fa7tened
down and clear conscience that pro-
notes sound sleep, doubtless con-
tributed very materially to the thief's
ease in effecting an entrance and his
safety'in searching for valuables, A
dose of shotgun should be kept ready
for such depredators.
Mrs. Gwin Hicks, who lives about
six miles out of the city. was driving
along the road In a buggy with her
baby lying asleep on the seat. Desir-
ing to increase the speed at which
they were travelling, she struck the
horse with the whip, which becoming
frightened, started to run, and Mrs.
Hicks was thrown from the buggy
though not injured to any extent, and
strange to say, when the horse was
stopped it was found that the child
was still lying on the sest asleep.
The band attempted, by. discoursing
some of their finest selections in front
of the city hall, Wednesday night, to
inspire the community with enough
Fourth of July patriotism to make
them 60 Down and dig up some of
their rusty shekels to provide for a big
blowout on the Fourth. But the
community didn't seem to inspire.
Some afterwards said they knew moth
ing OF the move until too late. The
prospects for celebration in Olympia
this year appear to be somewhat slim.
During the time the Alaskan is
undergoing repairs to her boilers, the
Olympian makes the round trip be-
tween Seattle and Victoria daily.
The steamer Geo. E. Star is now
alternating with the Emwa Hayward,
making the trip from Olympia to Sc
attic aud an extra trip daily between
Tacoma and Seattle. Boats now
leave Seattle at IL A. M, instead of
p. NJ, as formerly; in consequence of
the above change, the steamer Idaho
is at present the only boat on the
Whatcom route.
