The trial came off Wednesday after

very arduos task. | have not been
home since December 81, and under
the circumstances we thought it best
to take breathing spell. The arch

are now considering have appeared be-
fore us and explained them. All as
sert that the building as planned by
them will not cost more than one mil

| GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT.-A.H H.
Adams, Commander of George II.
Thomas Post No. 5, G. A. r., is in re.
ceipt OF communication from depart.
ment headquarters, stating that the
annual encampment Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Sons of Vet
Grams. Woman's Relief Corps and
Daughters of Veterans will be held in
Olympia, commencing June 90, and
tinuing three days. Department Com
mander Sinclair and Comrade George
b. Lane are appointed a committee on

ScHooh ArPoRTIoNMENr. In the
March, 1893, apportionment of State
school funds, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction made it at Al cents
per capita on the basis of LOG, 1873
school children in the State. The
September apportionment was At
cents on basis of 300 children.
1t will thus be seen that although the
school population was larger after six
months, there WAS also an increase of
three cents in the apportionment.
Superintendent Bean is strongly of
the opinion that the March, 1894, APP
portionment will be so cents per
capita, and il might be more were it
not for the hard times which will keep
many of the lessees from paying their
rents when due.

H. NJ. S. PINAFoRE.-To-night and
tomorrow night "Pinafore" will be
presented at the opera house, under
the auspices of St. Johns Guild of the
Episcopal church. General O'Brien,
who has the opera in hand, has thor
oughly drilled those taking part, and
that the production will be a success
goes without saying. Those who saw
the opera when it was presented here
some years since, will remember how
capitally Sam Woodruff portrayed
Dick Deadeye, and as this character is
in the same hands now it will lose
none OF its interest. Good houses
should greet the performances.
