There will be Gospel meeting o.
the Young Mems Christian Associa
ton OF Olympia, held in the Metho
dist church, Sunday afternoon, March
the 10th, A. ID. 1890, at the hour OF
3 30 o'clock. 1t will be addressed by
Rev II. Clay Fleenor of Galveston
Texas, and others. The young men OF
Olympia are especially invited to be
present, likewise the members of other
Associations who may be sojourning
in the city.
those who can enjoy a good laugh
should not fail to attend the perform
ahce OF the Bunch of Keys" Com
pany, at Columbia Hall, this and to-
morrow evenings. 1t is, without ex-
c,eptlon, the most amusing piece of
the minor drama. The play repre-
sents the trials and tribulations of a
manager of Il modern hotel, and the
audience will recognize many well
directed points of satire in the laugh
able situations presented in every act.
AS was anticipated, the visit of the
Mendelsshon Quinette Club gave an
opportunity to our music-loving peo-
pie to fairly revel in a sea of melody.
The Concert, last evening, was such as
only eminent musicians can give, and
the opportunity, especially in the far
west, is afforded ut rare intervals, to
hear such delightful renditions of the
works OF the masters. We regret that
limited space precludes the privilege
OF more extended comment.
On Tuesday evening, on Eastside,
at the brides residence Mrs. Matte A.
Tallentire was united in marriage to
MIR. Lewis Coons. Both of the parties
are old residents of Olympia and we'll
known to the people, who extend them
heartfelt congratulations over the
suspicious event. The presents we're
numerous and valuable. Among the
guests present, were Mrs. V. L. Will
liams, a sister of the bride, and her
daughter Ella, from Mason county,
and the relatives of the groom.
The railroad meeting at Columbia
Hall Tuesday evening was decided
success. The attendance was large,
and the people were liberal. The
amount of the subsidy-3OO acres Of
land-was subscribed without difficult
ty, and the amount of land and cash
subscriptions will probably accomplish
much more than was contemplated by
the proposers of the meeting. Gen. Nc
Kenny was President, and Sam Wood
ruff acted as Secretary. A committee
OF five was appointed to continue the
list for aid in extending the road to
Gray's Harbor. 1t consists of Geo. D..
Shannon, Robt. Frost. Thos. Prather,
]. NJ. Lammon and Frank Howard.
Geo. B. Scammell has opened new
Office on Main street, between Fourth
and Fifth, and has associated with him
self Geo. F. Conger, of Tacoma. The
new firm will be known rs Scammell &
Conger, and will do a general real
estate and commission business. They
are handling some very valuable prop
erty in and around Olympia, noticeably
"Scammelrs Addition to West Olym-
pia" which is situated at Buffers Cove,
adjoining the property recently bought
by the railroad; also some property at
Gray's Harbor. We wish the new firm
every success. They are starting in
the right way, and have struck Olym-
pia at just the right time.
The mood of tho weather seems to
be as capricious as that of child.
At one moment it is sunshine and
smiles, at another shadow and tears.
Sunday morning dawncd with light
covering of snow on the ground,
which soon turned into snow, rain,
hail and sunshine. This continued
for several days, despite the vigorous
growls of the mOssbacks and the mild
er protests of our tender-foot neigh
bors. At the present writing, Old Sol
seems to have conquered, and he is
now sending his beneficent rays inn
partially on the Nst and unjust. The
STANDARD will not venture, however,
to make another prediction. Its
announcements Of the approach of
spring have so often been succeeded
by the rigors Of winter weather, that
they have become as much of chest
nut" as the downfall of M'Ginty.
The Partisan undertakes to criticise
Mr.. Venen's action in appointing DR..
A. B. Woodland a director of Olym-
pia School District No. l, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Ready. Tie gist of the whole
matter il that that the Westsiders
wanted man to represent them in
the growing school interests of our
city, and lost no time in presenting to
the Superintendent an overwhelming
petition for the appointment of Mr..
Woodland. While this was going on,
the citizens of Central Olympia did
simply nothing, leaving Mr.. Yemen
but one course to pursue. Now that
the Eastside and Westside are duly
represented by Messrs. Van Epps and
Woodland respectively, while the large
property interests of Mr.. Woodruff
would seem to qualify that gentleman
for representing Central Olympia, the
whole matter appears to be justly and
fairly balanced, and we see no reason
for complaint.
