Jupiter in Conjunction.

The planet Jupiter arose Monday
evening, almost simultaneously with
the setting OF the sun, since hav-
ing completed a revolution, and
arrived at that point in its orbit
nearest the earth, it will be in in
ferior conjunction. That place was
actually reached, in point of fact, q
few minutes past two o'clock, that af-
ternoon. This magnificent body is
now in position relative to the sun
and the earth, most convenient for
observation, and during the greater
part of the coming twelve months, its
broad disc will engage the attention
of astronomers throughout the world.
Twelve years must elapse before the
planet will again occupy q similar po-
sition, hence will be seen the import
ance attached to these periodic occur
rences. At its last nearest approach
to the earth in the year 1877, notable
spot was observed near the equatorial
region of Jupiter which strongly in
Dictated that some wonderful physical
changes were taking place upon its
disc. The phenomenon was intently
watched with all the eagerness that
accompanies scientific research, while
professional and amateur observers
brought to their aid the most delicate
appliances then in existence.
This objective point of so many OPP
tic tubes was Familiarity known as the
great red spot"
During the last decade, the science
OF sidereal photography has been made
IAN important auxiliary to astronomi-
cal work in all the public and private
observatories of Europe and America,
and special apparatus in this line is
now being employed for the scrutiny
OF Jupiter's surface. A common opera
glass now sufiices to show clearly and
distinctly the four satellites of the
planet, while but q small increase of
power is required to reveal the belts
that streak its surface.

GALLATIN, Tenn, June ga terri
BILE accident occurred yesterday morn.
ing at Bledsoe, on the Chesapeake &
Nashville railroad. The passenger
train due at Gallatin at IL O'Clock
jumped the track and the passenger
and baggage coaches went down the
embankment about 60 feet. About
persons were seriously injured and sew
eral children more or less hurt. 1t is
probable that some of the injured will
die.
An engine has just left for the scene
OF the accident with Superintendent
Meek and physician on board. Tel
ephone communication is bad, and
everything is in confusion. The cars
that were thrown off are very badly
smashed and it is feared there are a
few bodies under the wreck. Fourteen
persons went down in the wreck.

BOsToN, June 26.-An attempt was
was made to blow up the hospital Of
Harvard University yesterday. Sever.
al dynamite cartridges were sent in
pasteboard boxes and placed on win.
dow sill. Separate fuses led from
each cartridge to one common fuse
The large fuse burned up to a point
where several smaller ones joined this
common fuse and would have burned
but on account of the moisture and
windings of the fuse it failed to burn.
A quantity of kerosene was
strewn over and around the fuse as
if to make sure of the explosion when
the fires should reach that point. No
reason can be assigned ior the attempt
of the destruction of thebuildings.

Who is q Guest.

A case lately decided in one of the
Eastern courts shows that it should be
generally understood by all parties,
who Is guest at a public house and
what relations really exist between a
hotel keeper and those whom he I'M
dertakes to entertain. A case in point,
occurred here in Olympia, some time
ago, and its denoument convinced the
contending parties that all legal pro-
ceedings might have been avoided and
a large bill Of costs saved, had each
been properly posted in the details as
to what is the true relation existing
between landlord, lodging house keen
er or hotel proprietor and the travelling
public.
1t is vital point to all hotel men
to know what is necessary, within the
meaning of the law to constitute a
guest, a lodger for the night, and a
common boarder. Especially does
this knowledge assume Importance
when it involves the question of a lein
upon baggage left in the house.
An old travellers maxim recites that
"a guest is one who obtains food or
lodgings at hotel with the consent of
the keeper" Another quaint rule
puts 1t as follows: "If a person comes
on special contract to board, he is
not guest but a boarder." A hun
bred and one so-called "tavern keep
ers' rights" are extant, and may often
be seen posted up in and about many
of the olden time "houses of entertain
ment," as they were called several gen.
erations ago. The following extract
from a recent number of the Hotel
News, appears to be the gist of an ex-
haustive opinion recently given on this
subject at the close OF a long continued
and holly contested case:
"When traveller comes to hotel
and Is accepted he becomes instantly
guest. When a guest pays his bill
and leaves, the relation of landlord
and guest terminates. When person
pays his bill and departs, leaving a |
trunk at the hotel and stating to the
landlord that he will return after a few
days, the relation of landlord and
guest ceases, and the former will not
be responsible as a landlord for the
loss of the latter's trunk. The rule is
otherwise where, instead of a trunk or
other inanimate property, the guest
leaves horse or the like, for in the
latter case the landlord would receive
benefit by the horse remaining with
him, but in the former he would re-
ceive no benefit. If guest leaves, in
tending to and actually does return
the same day, or if it happens that
though absent, he is liable all the time
Tor his board, the relation of landlord
and guest continues. The RESPONSE
bihty of the hotel keeper where prop
erty is deposited or left with him by
persons who are not guests is the
'ame as that of persons with whom
goods are deposited"

Onlya few years ago . man carried
the whole Of tho Mason county mail
matter in . row boat, once q week,
from Olympia to Oakland, whence it
was distributed by private carriers to
the lew hamlets and logging camps
that then existed in that section Of

Sound travelling was by means of the

Of . good sail boat, it was to him equal
to the whole outfit Of horse and buggy,

olden-time experiences will be swal-
lowed up in forgetfulness, and the tur-
MOL Of the present will bury them for

But We are called upon for further

deaf ear to these calls.

HELENA, Mont, June 52.-News
reached here early this morning from
Arlee, the principal town in the Flat
head reservation, that Sheriff Hey.
from and posee of Missoula county
went to the reservation to arrest the
Indian murderers. They are having a
battle with the Indians who refused
to give up the men wanted. Two In
dams are reported to have been killed
already. Agent Remon has called on
the officers in command at Fort Mis-.
soula for troops, but that official is
waiting orders from Washington. In
the meantime a posse of well-known
citizens from Missoula, headed by
Mayor Elcane, has been organized and
gone its way to aid the Sheriff and
civil officers. They are determined to
arrest the Indian murderers, and as
the Indians are determined not to give
them up, serious truoble is expected.

Independence Day.


The Fourth of July will soon be
here. The peals of musketry, the
boom of cannon and the fizz of crack
ers will shortly be heard in the land.
The ever-present small boy is eagerly
and anxiously awaiting the advent of
that suspicious day. The spread-eagle
orator is already rehearsing his little
piece, and the charming young ladies.
who are to represent the graces in the
procession, are busily engaged in dis
cussing what kind of material and
style of costume they shall adorn them
selves with on that momentous occa-
sion.
1t is eminently fitting and proper
that we, as an integral part of the
grandest nation on the globe, should
strive to make this approaching cele-
bration one to be remembered. We
know that the enterprise manifested
by our merchants in conducting their
respective businesses will be called in
to play to assist in rendering this one
hundreth and fourteenth anniversary
of our independence a memorable one
in the history of the capital city.
From . little band of revolutionists,
q colony Of thirteen states, we have
advanced and attained a position in
the world that even the empires of Eu-
rope might envy. We have compelled
respect from those who dare not be
our enemies, and the influence that we
exert has made man .freer and nobler
and better all over the earth. Then
why should we not unbridle ourselves
on that anniversary, and show to the
civilized world that the burning enthu-
siasm which manifested itself so in
tensely in our fathers is not smolder-
ing in us?
Let us awaken to the realization of
the meaning of that day. Let us not
forget the names of those illustrious pa
triots, those unselfsh, self-sacrifcing
spirits, who made it possible for the
star spangled banner to wave so trium-
phantly and proudly over this land of
the free. Think of Washington sitting
around the bivouac fire at Valley Forge,
devising plans to feed his furnishing
soldiers. Recall the grand victories
achieved by the Continental army at
Yorktown and Bunker Hill. Reflect
for a moment on the fact that we were
antagonized by the most powerful and
formidable enemy that any nation has
yet encountered. Then, let us ask
ourselves, are we not entitled and priv
LEGGED to make this coming annivcr.
sary q gala day?

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON ter.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE IS. 1850.
Now Is the Accented Time.

1t was thought at the meeting last
Friday night that Olympia had Al
last struck upon a project on which
there would be unanimity of senti
ment, and that it would be supported
by, vigorous, decisive and determined
action. Almost one-third of the subsidy
required for the projected Gray's Har.
Dor railroad was guaranteed by the
citizens present, and with like senti
ment prevailing in the whole commu.
nifty, there was no reason why the
whole amount of 500 900 should not be
subscribed in six hours canvassing.
The result Of the meetings delibera-
tons was telegraphed to our sister
cities and elected the favorable COM
ment which far-seeing communities in
variably bestow upon contemporaneous
enterprise. The Oregonian compli-
mented editorially the spirit of progress
which seemed to actuate our citizens,
Everybody seemed the more to appre-
ciate this manifestation of grit, from
the fact that it was decidedly unusual,
for this staid and quiet community to
appear in the arena equipped for a
part in the scenes of activity which
are 80 rapidly passing,
A few days suficed, however, to dis
pei this ardor. Soon as the acts of a
fewenterprising citizens were construed
abroad as an assurance of success, the
same old disposition to ride while
others shoulders are at the wheel pre-
vailed, and when the committee went
forth to secure the remainder of the
subsidy, the same sel6shness, not to
say parsimoniousness, prevailed, and
some men who own large tracts of
land that need but the stimulus of
this enterprise to make them valuable,
some men Of means whose business is
dependent upon action now, some
men whose future prospects are wholly
centered in a success of the present
movement, have contributed nothing,
or 80 little, that the committee are
heart-sore and weary of their self-im-
posed task.
There arc bounds beyond which even
the most liberal and enterprising indi-
vidual will not 90. He may struggle
against odds, and carry double bur
dens for time, but the opportunities
for business, the openings for; true grit
and energy, are too many in this pro-
sressive country, for eny man to carry
the drones clinging to his coat-tails for
= lifetime, and we warn these moss |
backs that they may ultimately kill |
the fowl which has been scratching 20 |
peristently for the few grains of gold |
already unearthed.
The question i not, How much can
! give. It il, How much can afford |
not to give. A crisis is upon us.
One acre Of land with the railroad, and |
the rapid progress it will immediately |
casase, will be more valuable than = |
