VISIT OF OLD TIMERs.-H. d. Nor
gan and wife, OF Snohomish, oldiime
citizens OF Olympia, are on visit tc
their former home. Their residence
began here nearly forty years ago, and
continued for more than a decade

FRIENDS" AT OLYMPIA THEATER.-
There was but one opinion of the
merit Of this attraction, and that was
of unqualified and enthusiastic APP
prevail. The parts were all so well
sustained that it is unnecessary tC
particularize. The play itself, the
production of Edwin Milton Royle
who assumes one OF the leading parts
is probably, in some degree, the cause
Of favorable reception, for it abound;
in interest from beginning to end
The audience was quite large, es
pecially in the lower part OF the house
FRANCIS HENRY's WIIL-This docu
ment was filed in the Probate Court
this week. He represents all his hold
ings as community property, and be-
queaths to Mary O'Neal his manu-
script copy of d" Ichabod Noodles" and
requests his wife to confirm the be.
quest. He further begueaths to Mis-.
O'Neal his undivided one-half interest
in his Abstract of Thurston County
Titles, and the books, maps, plats, etc.
relating thereto, with the expectation
that the business be continued by the
legatee and his wife. The remainder
of property is given to his widow who
is made executrix.
LONG Dock AS A PRoMENADE.-I
seems pity to remove Long dock
strengthened as it has been by the
deposit of earth about the bottom o
the piles, where the toredo has got il
its most effective work. AS prone
made it is worthy of retention, anl
after the planking is removed and the
piles have fallen, a stub OF solid timber
is left in the mud that is exceed
ingly dangerous to shipping. The
toredo never affects wood beneath the
mud-line, and the irremovable rem
nant of the wharf, would remain
therefore, as a constant menace t.
vessels that may get out Of thei
proper course.
Disputed OwNERsHIP.-The owner
ship of the portable photograph gal
lery which has the past year occupied
the southeastern corner of Jefferson
and Fourth streets, and the apparatus
therein, has, it is said became a ques
ton which will have to be decided by
the courts. 1t seems that Mr.. East
man, the photographer, became in
debted to MIR. Stringer Of the Jefferson
Hotel for board to large amount, and
he took possession by legal process OIL
the apparatus, ETC., while in posses
sion of an employee of Eastman, to
secure his claim, and now Eastman
has begun a replevin suit to have
them restored. Judge Lacey will
settle the dispute some time nexi
week.

THE GOLD MEDAL CoNrEsT.-Thert
