FRITZ IN A MADHOUsE.-Those who
did not see Mr.. Emmett in Fritz in a
Madhouse," last evening, have missed
the dramatic treats of the season.
Although popular expectation had
been aroused to a high pitch by the
extravagant praise that have been ac-
corded Emmet, there was no disap-
pointment on the part OF his auditors.
Fritz appears as the good-hearted,
ever-happy, fun-loving yodel. and the
other characters who center around
him are up in their respective parts.
Baby Sinnott, though least in size, is
not the smallest attraction of this
talented company. She is a prodigy
in all she does, and she sings and
dances and acts. One of the most
novel features was the bubble song,
sung by Fritz, while Baby Sinnott,
blew soap bubbles which were made
to gracefully circle about her head by
a fan in the hands of Fritz. The
comedy is not without the pathetic,
and in the second act fine piece of
acting is displayed by Joe Parker (Mr.
BraithwaiD when he discoveries that
his son Richard is ashamed of him in
the presence of his gay associates.
This scene was greeted with raptuous
applause, which is high indication
OF appreciation-coming from an
Olympia audience. The attendance
was not large, owing doubtless to the
absence in camps of so many of our
people.

THE WEATHER.
A Review and Comparison For the
Month of June.

The weather. bureau at Seattle has
furnished the STANDARD with the fol-
lowing information:
REVIEW AND COMPASSION.
The month Of June 1895 in Wash
ingtOn was one of remarkably even
temperature and dry weather, with an
abundance OF sunshine. The rainfall
throughout the State was far less than
for any June on record, being only
half as much as in June 1892, another
dry June. In the Western section the
rainfall during May had been so
abundant that the crops did not suffer
from the scarcity in June; in the
Eastern section it was different. AS
the drought continued from week to
week the prospect for q successful
wheat crop, SO tltttering at first, be-
came more and more jeopardized, and
the end Of the month came without
bringing relief. Rain fell on an
average OF only two days in the East
ern section, and only six days in the
Western section; in some portions of
the West it fell on but three days.
The month opened cool, but with
gradually increasing warmth; a warm
spell occurred from the 7th to 9Th
Inclusive; q cool spell from the llth
to 10Th; hot spell from the 25tn to
2Sth; followed by cool weather at the
close of the month.

1t seems that the water company
realizing the excellence of the pro-
duct OF the many artesian wells that
have been sluiced out" all over the
lower part of the city, determined to
make use of the subterranean reser-
voir to supply the pumps at their
works on Swan and Plum
streets. In accordance with this re-
solve they employed Mr.. Barton and
his rig, who began work this week
near the pump station. Two wells
have been sunk, one IS feet 10 inches
and the other 154 feet 4 inches, but
without obtaining a supply that justi-
fies them in further effort. A small
flow was struck by the first tube at "a
feet, another ut 33 feet and still
another at 60 feet, and at the depth
OF Is feet 10 inches, the drill was with
drawn and another location selected
Here the drill at 10 feet struck sand
cement and after going 7 feet further
struck fair flow OF water, and at 33
feet another vein. At So feet after
passing through u layer of clay cur
rent was tapped, but it was not salts
factory, and the drill passed on to the
depth OF l53 feet 4 inches, through
quicksand, without obtaining more
water. Both pipes were then drawn
back to "a feet, where they now re-
main with a combined flow of about
70 gallons per minute mostly outside
the pipes. The effort has apparently
been abandoned, and doubtless with
the advice of the Tacoma Engineer,
Mr.. Davis. who came up to superin-
tend the work. 1t is estimated that
it would take the full discharge from
81 two-inch pipes to supply the water
necessary for the service. and from the
meager flow that has been obtained
from the two experimental pipes,
there seems to be very little encour-
agement for future effort.

NOT ABANDONE ED.
Mrs. Jameson IL Now on the Way to
Meet Her Paramour.

Mrs. Jamieson IL Now on the Way to
Meet Her Paramour.
Port Townsend, Wash, special dis
patch.-The moral seems to have been
pointed too early in the Turner-Ja-
mieson elopement case. for the indi-
cations are that Mrs. Jameson and
Arthur Turner will soon again be liv-
ing together as husband and wife.
When Mrs. Jameson arrived here
few days ago from Mexico she had
little to say about her future plans,
except that she would make her home
at present with her parents at Port
Angeles. 1t was therefore a little sur
prising to see her board the steamer
Umatilla here to-day for San Francis
co. She avoided meeting anyone here,
but instructed her father to say that
she had accepted a position as COVER
ness in a San Francisco family. The
only person here who seems to have
any knowledge of Mrs. Jamieson's real
plans is the woman who occupied
state room with her on the trip from
San Francisco last week. This woman
saws Mrs. Jameson is unquestionably
going to meet Arthur Turner again.
While on the steamer together Mrs.
Jameson confided her plans to her
roommate. and even showed her some
of young Turner's letters of recent
date. These letters were full of ex-
pressions of the most devoted love and
affection. and speak of an expected
meeting in the near future. Mrs. Ja-
mieson said she expected soon to go to
New York, where Turner will meet
her. and they will then go to London,
where they will make their future
home.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 12.-Edward H. Movius,
secretary OF the United States mineral
land commission for the Helena dis
trict. has completed his report of the
work accomplished by the Helena COM
missioners during the year. In all
there were $4,000 acres examined. Of
which 2s1. 400 acres were classified a.
non-mineral and $3.50 acres as min
eral The cost OF the classification per
acre was $40 cents. and the total
cost was ss.131.55.
The commission estimates that there
are 2.05s, $50 acres In the Northern Pa
cific land grant unsurveyed- IL esti-
mates that IL will be able with some
assistance to classify these lands In
1897 and 1898. There remain unclassi-
fed OF the surveyed lands OF the dis
trict 1.O04. 10. all of which. the commits
sioners believe. they will be able to ex-
anime and report next year.
The commission says that IL given
proper assistance II can complete the
classification OF the lands of the
Helena district within the four-year
limit prescribed by law. II asks the
government to furnish II a civil engi-
neer and a small corps OF assistants to
establish and monument boundaries of
unsurveyed lands examined. and as
sistance to perform the clerical work
devolving upon the board.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
Particulars of the Puget Sound Salmon
Activity.

Activity.
Concerning the heavy run OF salmon
in Puget sound the Seattle Times says:
The most prosperous and phenomenal
salmon run in the history OF the SOUND
is the record of this season and the END
is not yet in sight. The amount OF
salmon taken from the waters even at
this time surprises the oldest inhabi-
tants. II Is one OF the extraordinary
years one hears about but seldom wit
nesses.
There were 1900 salmon in the My
ers' cannery dock Friday, bright, slick,

a dollar when he is properly cleaned.
steamed and soldered up in the little
tin cans and labeled with the Elliot
Bay company's fancy brand. The run
has been good and fairly constant since
September l. and the amount OF hsh
canned would more than feed a multi
tude. Mr. Myers is reticent about Civ
ing out figures, but those who are
closely interested in fish canning are
watching the shipments of tin plate to
his establishment give 1t out that he
has put up at least 10000 cases. Mr..
Myers has the distinction at this time
of being the only man in the United
States engaged in canning salmon AT
least no cannery in the country is
known to be in operation outside of his.
The fish are now taken in the upper
sound, where they are still sporting by
the millions. A good many have gone
up the streams, but the open sound
contains immense schools which are as
silvery and fresh as when canning first
opened up. The season of 1895 will be
a red-letter one in the history of Ny
ers' experience in the business.

But what can Butte do about 1T?
There seems to be no legal way TO get
rid of them. They don't belong to Mon
tana. They are an output OF the
British possessions; but prefer to be
scavengers in Montana than to live
upon lands allotted them by the Cana
dian government. Repeated efforts
have been made to induce them TO re-
turn to their native land. The Domin-
ion government has been appealed to
to recall her wandering pests, but with
no effect. The matter has been placed
before the English minister at Wash
ington and the same old reply given.

of Mrs. Vliet, the leader of the Chris
tan science movement in this city,
and. like her mother, she is a firm be-
lever In Christian science, and in ac-
cordance with this belief no physician
was called in. This fact led some to
believe that a coroner's inquest should
be held. but Prosecuting Attorney
Feighan came to the conclusion that
this was not necessary. Mr.. Feighan
sent a note to Coroner Newman late
last evening stating that no inquest
would be held.
Dr. Olmsted viewed the body after
death and was of the opinion that
death resulted from pneumonia, and
that the child had every attention that
could be desired In the way of nursing.
The doctor also signified his willing
ness to fill out the death certificate,
and the funeral will probably take
place tomorrow.
