turn that soon.
c. E. Smith, that sly Eph" who
" did up" SO many of our people as
manager of the Olympia hotel, played
the same trick at Seattle and skipped
out for pastures new in Victoria. Our
British cousins should keep an eye on
the gentleman whose main occupa-
ton seems to be in evolving schemes
to W-U-up.
The musical and dramatic enter
tainment to be given by the pupils of
Providence Academy has been changed
from Saturday to Monday night. 1t
will take place in Olympia Theater,
and consist of recitations, cantatas,
farce, and musical numbers, all rem
dcred by the children of the school.
An elaborate programme has been ar
ranged which gives promise of an en-
tertainment of high order.
The Indians, George and Jack VIII
liams, who assaulted Napoleon lie
Garde, last week, at Nisqually, were
arraigned in Squire Atkins court yes
terday, under charge of assault with
deadly weapons, and were held i'll the
sum of ST. 900 each, to answer at the
next term of court. AS they have
been unable to give security for APP
pearance, they will probably languish
in Jail for a time at the peoples ex-
pense.
How dare you to come to my
front door! Get out" were the excla-
nations of bon ton matron few days
ago, when a citizen who has lost his
property made application to plate
silverware, having supplied himself
with an electro kit" as Il means of
earning a few honest pennies to keep
the wolf from the door Of the family
domicile. Destitute people should re-
member that the back door is the only
avenue for labor to reach those who use
silverware on their tables.
The State Convention of Women's
Clubs will be held in this city next
Tuesday, and remain in session two
days. AS there are about u couple of
score of clubs in the State, and each is
entitled to two delegates, the conven-
ton will be quite body of representa-
tive women, and it is expected that
with the visitors who will be present
the number will be augmented to say
200, it will be quite memorable
local event to entertain so large and
intelligent an aggregation of the bet
ter-half of humanity.
The Olympian says that Leo Mort, a
Tumwater lad yet in his teens, has on
display at the Tumwater drug store a
collection of wild birds eggs number
ing 1877, in which there are no dupli.
Gates as to variety. All were collected
in this immediate vicinity, and they
range in size from the minute hum
ming birds egg to that laid by the
monstrous loon, with all sizes of inter-
mediate graduation and remarkable
range of color and markings. Young
Mort is n naturalist by taste and in
clination, and for one SO young his
knowledge of the bird creation is re-
markable.

ler's Cove, will occur the third annual

Prof. Rowell and his Mandolin Club

the round-trip. Come one and all and
enjoy days outing.
Horace L. Howard, a former resident
of this city, was arraigned in the U. S.
Court in Seattle, Tuesday, on a charge
of impersonating a deceased brother
for the purpose of drawing govern
ment pension. 1t seems that Howard
has been receiving $36 per month
since 1891, aggregating about $500
that has thus been feloniously taken
from the public treasury. He was
convicted on testimony of relatives
showing the death of his brother, of
veteran friends of the person he i'm
personated, showing that he was not
their comrade-in-arms, and of his
divorced wife, who testified direct that
he had unprecedented his brother for
the purpose of drawing a pension.
The maximum penalty for this crime
is, unfortunately, only five years inn
prisonment. 1t ought to be for life.
