The WASHINGTON STANDARD will be
represented at the Worlds Fair by the
cigar of that brand, made by Mr..
Schulling, of this city, from tobacco
grown by w. o. Bush, on his farm, six
miles south of Olympia. Mr.. Bush
took the first premium "a gold medal)
at the Centennial Exposition at Phila-
delphia, in 1876, for the best wheat
with the world for competitor
May we not hope that his tobacco will
receive some recognition? Mr.. Schulz
ling says that this product burns whittier
ashes than any other tobacco he has
ever used, a point regarded as Of con-
siderable Importance by expert judges
of the article.
! The lines of our Populist orator,
James Lane, do not always fall in
pleasant places. A few days ago that
gentleman was much annoyed by a
couple of mischievous boys. and in
retaliation hit George Ford, the leader
of the two, with the whisp end of a
broom. For this very light offense
an enraged father had Lane arrested
and tried before Justice Rathbun,
with the result that he was fined 81
and costs, amounting to $l6.4O. The
county will have to board Mr.. Lane
till the amount of the fine and costs
is wiped out by imprisonment, he be-
ing just at this juncture little short
in coin OF the realm.
John Warner, Of the popular firm
of Heistand, Warner & Co., of this
city, returned Sunday from q triI
through Eastern Washington. He
reports the prospects to be first-class
among the farming population. The
famous crop of wheat grown last fall
and the satisfactory prices it brough,
have made money easy and established
a confidence in future farming fol
profit. About so per cent. Of the
crop was sold. and The remainder
awaits shipment. The price has not
varied much from 80 cents per busl,el
the past season. The firm have ware.
houses at all importatant points in
Eastern Washington. and they have
shipped this season 1000 600 bushels
of wheat and 100000 bushels of other
grain.
The arrest and conviction of Jim
Lane, on charge Of assault on a youth
named Ford, has occasioned consider
able comment. The costs in the case
amounted to II great deal more than
Thurston county cares to pay for such
things. A number OF gentlemen have
interested themselves in the matter
and raised a purse to be prese nted to
Mr.. Lane Tomorrow when he will
emerge from his enforced confinement.
This expression OF popular disapproval
is not called forth by sympathy for the
accused, but because of the frivolity of
the testimony. 1t seemed to be the
general opinion of those who attended
the trial that Ford should have been
soundly spanked for his fresh actions
in annoying Lane, and calling him a
