FOR FLORAL DECoRATION.-Prof. l..
L. Yemen reported that the subscrip
tons solicited by the friends of the
astronomer, r. A. Proctor, originally
designed to be expended towards a
monument over the grave of the as
tronomer, will now probably be used
Tor floral decorations upon the ceme-
terry lot. The reason for this change
in the Use of the contributed funds is,
that Mr.. George w. Childs, of the
Philadelphia Ledger, has assumed,
personally, the expense of erecting the
proposed monument.
THE CRY CoUNCIL.-The proceed
ings OF this body last evening were
unimportant, except the passage of a
resolution directing the clerk to ad-
vertise for bids for lumber to plank

tons. He was confined to his bed
only one day. Mr.. l.. was well.known
to most OF our people. He came to
Olympia more than score of years
ago, since which time he has been not
able factor in our local business life.
He was a soldier in the war against
rebellion. He leaves d wife, two
daughters and a son. Mr.. Leighton
is member of George H. Thomas

The funeral will take place tomorrow.
A JOURNEY BY RIVER TO THE SEA-
sHoRE.-C. p. Giles and John Hager
left yesterday with team hauling
boat to Little Rock, where they pro-
pose to embark on Black river and
proceed to the seashore by it and the
Chehalis river, of which it is a tribu-
tary. They think this will be novel
way OF wooing that delusive enchant-
ress, Pleasure. They will camp on the
shore, and hunt and fish during their
journey, which they expect will con-
sumo ten days, to the seashore. Mil
ton Giles has made preparations to
meet them at Porter station, Sunday.
1t is probably needless to add, they
will return by train.
BE REASONABLE IN Your CHARGES.
While we would urge everybody to
stand by Olympia labor and Olympia
enterprise, there is likewise an admo-
milton to apply to the other side. Let
your charges be reasonable. Do not
expect that a small amount OF bust
ness at big prices pays better than the
full volume OF trade at living rates.
The several failures OF the Olympia
Iron Works, in this city, may be
traced directly to this cause. Their
prices have been not at all in accord
with the facilities at their command.
The Texas landlord at the crossroads
who charged $500 for bed and break
fast of his only customer, probably
paid costs, but he did not remain
much longer in business.

How the skunk Lives and How He
4. Caught.

The trapper. about the middle of No
yernber. sets traps for skunks and bats
them with pieces OF fresh meat. A
chickens wing, the hind quarter OF a
muskrat or a piece OF fresh rabbit Is
considered fetching bait The trap
Is a heavy, fat stone, supported by
notehed sticks held in place by spin
die. upon the end of which the bait Is
placed. In attempting TO take the
meat from the spindle the trap Is
trippcd and the stone falls upon the
animal The most favorable localities
for setting these traps are under the
walls around pasture lots and near
lodges and old cellars or chimney
stacks.
Steel traps are sometimes used. Ihey
are placed in burrows; but 1t is neces-
sary TO carefully conceal them or the
animal will dig around the trap and es-
cape. The skunk is especially fond oil
eggs and chickens. He seems to hold
the flesh OF the fowl in a lower estma-
ton than its blood. When skunk hnds
himself in a well-filled chicken-house
he proceeds to kill the fowls. and as he
does so he drinks their blood. some
times 50 gorging himself as to be
unable TO get away. and he falls into
the hands OF the person whose property
he has destroyed.-Scientihc American.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the ightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
prize, at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
