THE TUMwATER DANCES. - Tum-
water is getting a good reputation for

for the accommodation OF those who
go from the Capital city.

HAS RETURNED FROM TRIP EAST
Rev. ]. II. Chaplain, who has just
returned from the East, reports that
there is good time for Olympia just
ahead. This is what the Reverend
gentleman has been reporting for n
term of years. Let us have some
thing tangible this time. He re-
manned six weeks Mt Richmond, Mich,
where he reports he disposed of 81 900
worth of Olympia property, and at
Romeo, the same Stale, his success
was equally marked, and at the
Worlds Fair, about $1,000 worth
passed into other hands. Several of
the purchasers have accompanied him
home to look their possessions DER and
plan for the future. They are f. r.
Sanderson and wife. and Silas Smith,
of Romeo, and w. ID. Clark and
Dwight LathrCp, of Richmond.
HAS DEVELOPED INTO A PREACHER.
Sidney Gregg. well known in
this community as a newspaper cor
respondent, has developed into q full
tiedged preacher, and expects to be
assigned by the M. E. Conference to
some charge in this jurisdiction. Mr..
Gregg has assisted at times in the To-
cal department OF the STANDARD, and
we have ever found hiln to be con-
scientious and faithful in the discharge
of duty. He was likewise correspon-
dent of quite number of State and
several Eastern and California papers.
His earnings from these sources were
doubtless much larger than he will
receive the first few years in the itin-
erancy, and the assumption is, there
fore, very strong, that it was matter
of duty which impelled the change.
The best wishes of host of friends
will accompany Mr.. Gregg and his
family wherever they 60.

TRYING TO UNLoAD.-The city is
again besought to aid Mr.. Silsby in
disposing of his Seventh street lot. It
was understood, when the Northern
Pacific Co. was granted certain privi-
leges by the city that the Silsby lot
should become a part OF the public
highway, by purchase and dedication
by the company. This project failed
from the excessive value which Mr..
s. placed upon the property. He
doubtless, Hawkins-like, thought that
he had corner on that particular lot
that would prove bonanza. But
like the schemes which Bobby
Burns refers to, this particular one
gang aglee." The railroad company
simply bought a lot from Gen. Nc
Kenny and by little shifting of lines
the acquisition of the Silsby lot be-
came wholly unnecessary, without in
the least encroaching upon the rights
of the people. He has at various
