Cotton Bagging.

The jute bagging men have advanced
the price of that article one-fourth of Il
cent a pound on each grade. and it -s
now quoted at 104 cents per yard for
two-pound bagging. The Boston Com
mercaM Bulletin says jutc bagging can
be made and sold at profit of eight
cents a yard. The same paper is au-
thOrity for the statement that there will
probably be 100000 yards of cotton
oagging made this year, thc West
Point and Rosedale mills have orders
for nearly two million yards. and that
the competition for cotton balcd in 1t Is
likely to be lively.

The Treasures Of the Soil.

A curious illustration of the treasures
of the soil often overlooked for long
time is the discovery of mineral wax in
Utah. It was discovered three years
ago on the line of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, covering an area of
$50 acres. Over 1000 tons year are
secured. 1t looks like the wax that is
made by bees, and can be used for the
same purpose. 1t is mixed with para
phine in making candles, and is used in
the insulation of electric wires. 1t
needs no refining for ordinary uses.

ARCADIA

There Is land that stretches fer away
Through candors Of unviolased dreams
A land that to the va2rant fancy seerns
A paradise Of senplterncl May.
And It Is called Arcadia, they say.
Within its flower fields are quiet streams,
And green and cool retreats, and beauty beams
On every side, while pleasure lords The day
@ lovely land, thou lest far away.
Too Far. indeed, for hgga-d steps Ike mine:
Vet have heard returning travellers sly
That on thy frontiers they had marked u sign
Telling to each that happiness was bis,
Where pain Is not, and not where pleasure IS.

Train Wrecked.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 26.-At 2:3C
this morning, three freight trains were
wrecked on the Pennsylvania railroad
about a mile east of Latrobe. Two
freight trains were telescoped, and
caught the east bound train just as the
latter was passing. Thirty-fve cars
and two engines were wrecked. One
OF the engines, with several cars were
rolled over the embankment and fell
IN the river. Six persons were killed,
and several others were more or less
seriously injured. The list of killed
may be largely increased, as it is be-
lieved that all of the bodies have not
been recovered from the wreck. Mis-
understanding in giving train orders
on the part of train dispatchers, is sup
posed to be the cause of the accident.

the project will be hailed with words

the project will be hailed with words
OF approval by all American citizens.
Our Canadian neighbors have long
entertained an idea, and we believe
have made the proposition to build a
telegraph cable and conduct line of
steamers between Vancouver and Aus
tralia, touching at Hon olulu as an in
termediate point; and this for the
purpose of propitiating the Hawaiians
and eliminating American ideas, which
have obtained such foothold among
them. 1t is two well understood by
civilized nations that these islands lie
directly on the line of traffic between
our country, Polynesia and China, and
the knowledge OF this fact should spur
us on to greater activity and cause us
to redouble our efforts towards gaining
control OF so important a factor in
commercial affairs.
Certainly the amount required to
lay the cable-$1 500 ,OOO-could be
easily secured, especially when the
great benefits which might accrue to
us through its completion are weighed
and considered.

Girls and Brains.

In a recent contest for a prize, con-
sisting of trip to Paris, given by an
enterprising and leading journal OF
San Francisco, a girl fifteen years of
age carried off the honors. AS the
competing boys were given an equal
chance i'll the intellectual struggle, the
question is now being debated whether
girls are not gifted with keener per-
ceptions and greater concentrativeness
than their brothers.
This is not the only case wherein the
girls have defeated the boys in similar
examinations. In the type-writing
tournament, which recently took place
in the East, a young lady scarcely out
of her teens, was awarded the medal,
though she had score of male COM
petitors. At a medical college exam
ination, not long ago, in a western city,
a modest little woman was honored
with the highest prize, much to the
chagrin and disgust of her masculine
classmates. 1t is not astonishing to
find that this is SO. The vicious and
perverted habits INDUCED in by SO
many boys; the Understanding cigar
cite; the penchant for late hours and
the keeping of not too select company,
account in a great measure for the
deterioration of brain power so manifest
in the boys of to-day. On the other
hand, girls have greater ambition, are
more passive, have more retentive
and pay closer attention
to details than the boys.
Yes, we say, let us give the girls
chance. Let us brush away from our
eyes the cobwebs of prejudice which |
have for too long blinded US to the in
tellectual destiny Of woman, and en-
deavor to remove the impediments and
which have for these
many years stood as an almost i'm
pregnable barrier against female edu.
cation.

Railroad Meeting.

A special meeting of the Board O
Trade and citizens of Olympia was hele

ton to build standard-gauge railroad
connecting Olympia with navigable
waters on Gray's Harbor, for the sum
of 100000, provided the cities Of
Elma and Montesano subscribed a
proportionate amount.
The gentleman urged an imme-
date acceptance of the proposition,
which would embrace likewise the
substitution of a standard-gauge con-
nection with the Northern Pacific.
and afford Olympia, as we'll as the fer
tile valley of the Chehalis, with speedy
commercial communication with the
whole continent. He suggested a
plan OF donations of land, by which
the subsidy could be guaranteed, with
out, practically, the expenditure of a
dollar, the increased valuations amply
compensating for the lands donated to
this object.
He was followed by several other
speakers, after which pledges were
made to fully one-third of the amount
of the subsidy.
Mr.. Convey moved that committee
be appointed to formulate a plan of
operation. The motion carried and

A Reminder.

The fire at Vancouver, in this Terri
tory on Saturday morning. should be an
oninous warning to our citizens.
While it is true that the origin of this
destructive confagration has been at
tributed to incendiarism, still we can
not be too watchful or too careful, and
we should see that every precaution is
taken to prevent a like disaster from
visiting Olympia.
Though We are better prepared to
encounter fire than any other city in
Washington-having better equipped
apparatus, and we'll disciplined or
ganization-yet with so many wooden
buildings within our fire limits, there
is no predicting where an incineration,
once under headway, would end. Be-
sides, the Fourth of July is approach
ing, and the small boy, who cares
nothing for consequences, will be out
with his fire-cracker and Chinese
bombs. As we cannot we'll abridge
the inestimable privilege so dear to the
heart of every American boy, Of cele-
brating the nations natal day with
blowing of trumpets and firing of dan
gerous explosives, still we should exer-
else greater degree of vigilance and
be fully prepared to meet the fiend if
he should come.

for school purposes. Rough estimates
have put the prospective number Of
children of school age within the limits
OF this district, at one thousand. It is
safe to say that the grand total will
be above this number.
At their meeting, the directors
elected the following teachers which
will constitute the corps for the COM
ing school year:
For the central school, Mr.. B w
Brntnall, Principal; Mrs. Brintnall,
Assistant Principal; Miss Sophia Aver,
Grammar department; Miss Rose
Broden, Intermediate; Miss Janet
Moore, Primary. In the Odd Fellows
building, Mr.. P. NJ. Lewis, Principal
Miss }. l.. Browne, Grammar and
Intermediate Miss Maggie Swan, Pri-
mary. For Eastside school, Miss Lulu
Dunn; Westside school, Miss Lou Nc
Guire. Mr.. Brintnall will continue to
act as City Superintendent of schools.
Thus, with a force of ZEN teachers to
preside over our public schools, with
the Collegiate Institute, Providence
Academy and several private schools
for small pupils, and perhaps an even
ing school, Olympia will be we'll pro-
vlded with educational facilities for
the coming twelve months.
The erection of school edifce com.
mensurate to present and future needs
has already been determined upon and
its early completion is foregone con-
clusion. Olympia is fast becoming an
educational center for a large area of
Western Washington and while her
people stand number one in the
general average of intellectual culture.

soul-inspiring motto displayed upon
her banner.

Olympia Schools.

The Board of Directors held their
annual meeting on Monday and COM
pleted arrangements for sustaining the
city schools during the ensuing year
The old Odd Fellows Hall on Wash
ington street has been secured at a
rental Of $50 per month, to accommo-
date pupils residing in the lower penin-
sular portion of the city. This build
ing will be thoroughly overhauled and
put in suitable condition for the use to
which it has been applied. The lower
room will be devoted to primary
school, the upper room to o higher
department. The central building
and grounds are also to be put in COM
plete repair ready for the four depart
ments which will be therein sustained,
as was the case last winter, the Primary,
intermediate, Grammar and High
school. The Eastside and Westside
school buildings will come in for their
share of needed alteration and i'm
provement.
When the clerk shall have COM
pleted the annual enumeration OF
school children it will be decided
whether other rooms will be needed

Thirty Killed.

LATRoBE, Pa, June 27.-The debris
OF the wreck which occurred on the
Pennsylvania railroad here yesterday
morning Is being rapidly cleared away
At 8 o'clock last night ten bodies had
been recovered. Those of Engineer
Caldwell and George Fraelech, the fire
man are not yet found, but it is expect.
ed they will be reached before long. A
dozen men were more or less in
Jured, several of whom will not recover
1t Is almost certain that from twenty
five to thirty people were killed in the
wreck. The water in the creek at the
point where the accident occurred is
twelve feet deep, and it is expected ten
or twelve bodies are in the bottom of
the creek, held there by wreckage.
John Miller, fiagman on the freight.
states that the proper signals were
given when the position of the shifter
vas discovered, and Engineer Caldwell
answered, but the speed was too high.
When the Inflated train left Boliver
about forty workmen boarded her, but
the conductor put them Off at Derry.
When the train left there great
many of them boarded her again.
Four injured we've taken from one car.
1t is stated that eleven others were in
the car, and in another box car, it is
stated by one of the rescued, there
were fifteen or twenty men. One or
two bodies were taken from the wreck,
terribly burned by the lime which COW
cred them.

Woman HANGED.

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Mrs. Sarah
Jane Whiting was hanged here last
evening at ten o'clock. The crime for
which Mrs. Whiting suffered the ex-
treme penalty was the deliberate pois-
oning of her husband and two small
children for the purpose of securing the
small insurance which she carried on
each of their lives. The husband died
March 20, 1883, and one child April "a,
the other May 26. After arrest the
woman made a full confession detail
ing the agony her little ones suffered
as she slowly poisoned them, her sweet
faced daughter, aged 8 years, lingering
i'll excruciating pain three days. The
aggregate insurance received was less
than $500. Mrs. Writings bearing
throughout the terrible ordeal was a
trying exhibition OF fortitude and resig-
nation to her fate. During the entire
morning she never for a moment
showed the slightest evidence of weak
ness and frequently expressed pleasure
at the prospect OF meeting her husband
and children.
