While rich aurifcrous quartz mines !
are being discovered in the foothills /
OF Mount Rainier, it is an aiiliction to (.
the people OF the City Of Destiny that

OF two cardinal events that were
dccrecd to take place to-day, only one I
will hc recorded in history, the I,S92d
issue OF the WAsHINGToN STANDARD;
the other event, the hanging of Dur
rant, is indefinitely postponed.
J. Z. Mcars and wife have won their
case against the Slawson Brewing Co.,
which has long been pending in the
Superior Court. The brewing COM
panv had secured an execution on
realty which proved to be a home
stead.
A. j. Moses, one of the pioneer mer-
chants OF Olympia early in the " 30s,
died on the 3D. Of last month, in Port
land, where he has resided continuously

At the foreclosure sale yesterday of
the Olympia Light and Power CO..
property, l.. b. Faulkner, representing
the bond holders, bid 100000, and
became the purchaser. The sale will
come before the court for confirma-
ton on August 9th.
The prevalence OF mild form of
typhoid fever admonishes close attcn-
ton to sanitary regulations, and this
has caused the issue of several orders
from the Health Committee for the
clearing of cess-pools and making
proper sewer connections for drainage
The new telephone extension service
has come to a standstill. The instru-
ments were shipped from San Fran
cisco several days ago, but have not
yet arrived at destination. In short
time, however, the new subscribers will
be able to shout "Hellow to their
neighbors.
The school census that has just
been taken of Olympia school dis
trict shows a population of 1,1S3
children between the ages of 5 and 81
years, an increase OF so over the school
population of the district year ago.
The enrolment of pupils in the pub
lie schools of the city for the school
year now ended was S74.
1t is expected that the special train
leaving Seattle at an early hour Mon.
day morning, will pass through this
city at 8 80 for Portland, carrying ex-
cursionists to the Bryan ovation to be
held in Portland on the afternoon and
evening of that day. 1t is expected
that the train will arrive in Portland
by p. NJ, and will start on its return
soon as the exercises are over, which
will be about midnight. Olympia ex-
cursionists will arrive home Tuesday
morning about 6 o'clock.
The dance Mt Buffers Cove last
Monday, was of the olden.time typi-
cal sort. After the regular exercises
were finished the platform was cleared
the melifluOus tones of the yellow
fiddle set the breezes wooing and
everybody sailed in for five cents a
dance. City etiquette was thrown to
winds, while old and young kicked
up their heels without regard to per-
sonal adornment. Farmers, loggers,
milkmaids and district school-marms
kept up the jolly carnival till the
roosters proclaimed the hour when it
was time for tired people to be in their
beds.
Frank Clayton, who lives on the
Johnson place, three miles from town,
met with painful accident this
morning. While leading fractions
horse to the manger, with the halter
wrapped over his left hand the horse
suddenly SHE'D to one side drawing
the fingers of The hand against the
woodwork with such force as to tear
off the little finger, dislocate the
third and severely jam the second.
DR.. Riley this morning amputated the
fourth finger at the second joint, and
placed the hand in a bandage for safety
of the other wounded digits with the
hope that both may be saved.
The residents of this city were
favored with rare treat last Tuesday
evening. Miss Belle Kearney, of
Mississippi, ain eloquent National Lee
turer of the w. C. 7. u, gave short
address in the United Presbyterian
church upon the Responsibility of
the Christian Voter" She was fol-
lowed in a short address by Miss Jessie
Alderman, who has been twice around
the world as w. C. 7. U. missionary,
and has carried the white flag into
nearly every country on the globe.
Her manner was most earnest and
tender, as she pleaded with her hearers
for the good and the true. These
ladies are on their way to Alaska, and
on their return will again visit some
of the cities of Washington. Those
who missed hearing them have lost
an opportunity of lifetime.
COmmendable Economy.
