Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1896-10-02

OF 1rTelevancy. We think 1t should
have been defined, for it is just the
" medicine" some of our Republican
friends will require when they emerge
from the fray that will take place on
the Sd of November.
One OF the latest novelties in har-
ness gear is waterproof envelop
which covers the horse and harness
so completely as to thoroughly pro-
tect them from the fiercest rain storm
Now it is to be hoped shat Olympia
wood dealers will avail themselves OF
this invention so that there will be no
more exhibitions of jaded horse stand
ing for long weary hours on street
corners in the pel,ing rains of winter.
Tumwater is a lively suburb. The
sights that are to be taken in at the
light and power plant, the ice factory
the mammoth brewery and the new
sawmills at the foot Of Main street
will repay the busiest person for few
hours stroll. And then a saunter
through the park is by no means time
lost to anybody. The falls are now at
their lowest stage but they have lost
none OF their Olden-time interest to
visitors.
Rev. DIR. Sullinger, presiding elder
OF the newly created Olympia district
of the NJ. +. church, was the guest OF
Rev. Geo. Ii. Feese, pastor OF this
charge, few days ago. This district
was established at the late Vancouver
conference and consists of the counties
of Thurston. Mason, Chehalis, Lewis,
Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clarke
and Skamania. An effort is being
made to have Mr.. S. fix his residence
in Olympia.
In answer to numerous fair CORE
spondents, the STANDARD would state
that the ladies' match box is the
latest adjunct to the bicycle parapher-
MALTA. They are finished in gold, sill
yer and aluminium, and can be at
tached to the bicycle lamp or carried
in the pocket. AS to whether lady
bicyclists will scratch their matches
the same as men, the question is re-
spectfully referred to the wearers of
typical bi!urcated skirts.
There is a certain district in the
northeastern part of this county,
where the people have fitted up q
freight wagon which runs to Tacoma
and back twice week. This wagon
carries to the Tacoma markets the
butter, eggs, ETC., of several adjoining
neighborhOods. The reason given by
these people for going to Tacoma is
that they do not find paying cash
market in Olympia for their products.
1t is in order for Olympia business
men to explain.
Rollin Wood, Jr., preferred a COM
plant Monday against Eli Collins for
whom he is working on farm, of as
sault and battery. 1t seems that for
some trifling otfense, Collins took it
upon himself to administer corporal
punishment, which resulted in q black
eye and bruised shoulder, and Wood
thinks that Collins should suffer come
punishment as an atonement for the
wrong. At the trial, Tuesday, Collins
was found guilty, and fined 81 and
COSTA total of $l3.
1t is amazing to listen to Republi-
can campaign orators brag of MAORI
ties they are going to roll up in No.
vember, in one breath, and then depre.
cate the apathy of the party and de.
clare that success can only result from
a house-to-house campaign in another.
1t is as natural for a Republican to
brag as it is for fish to swim, or q
cat to eat milk, and 10 that line it
must be admitted that they are al
ways and continually wound up for
the Queen of SPAIN" as it were.
There has been some inquiry rs to
why just seven women were appointed
to crate at the late Silver-Gray enter
tainment. We read in Holy Writ that
the time is coming when seven women
will lay hold of one man and demand
OF him certain rights therein stated.
Now there is q traditional mystery
about the number seven, and whether
society is on the eve of prophetical
tulfillment or not, astute aud long.
sighted men will seek safety by avoid.
ing all women demonstrations, espe-
cially when they move in sevens.
1t is quite evident that some of the
drippings of Hanna's campaign
bar'F" have reached this State, for
our local Mark is now, fguratively
speaking, fairly rolling in wealth"
He now proposes to organize Re.
publican fiambeau club, and mount
its members on wheels, in white uni
forms to make a holy show" of
themselves. 1t will require men of
stalwart lungs az we'll as well-devel-
oped pedal muscles, for it is expected
that they will blow hard. to project
tho fame, as we'll as kick Justify to
attain a satisfactory momentum.
Well, we'll; for ostentatious display,
and damphoolery the Republicans can
take the "cake" at any pastry ex-
hibit.
