The First National Bank, of Olym-
pia, closed its doors on Tuesday morn
ing, with liabilities of about 100000
and claiming assets of $3.50, 900; the
latter however is probably largely
made up of loans and other paper, on
which it would be difficult to raise
much cash. The usual statement is
made that all depositors wauld be
paid in full. 1t is said that one party
in Shelton has about $4,000 in the
wreck, and there are probably two or
three others for minor amounts.
| Otherwise Shelton is not affected by
the failure. which is due to the with
drawal of state and county funds by
the new administration, causing the
local dispositions to make something
of run on the concern.

Attorney Stones Home Burned.

The Tremper residence on Fifth and
Laurel streets, now owned and occupi-
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. F, S. Stone, was
destroyed by fire last Friday evening.
AT six O'Clock Mr.. Stone and his wife
started down town to the post office,
but before reaching the office the cry
of fire was heard and it was discover
ed that their home was on fire. The
neighbors gathered as quickly as pos
sible, but the fire had gained control,
and when the front door was burst
open it was found impossible to enter,
and not a thing could be removed
from the burning building. Owing to
the distance there was some DELAY in
ringing the fire bell and in getting the
hose apparatus started. The cart was
stopped before going half way, by
word that it was useless, but after
wards it was taken out and the fences
and out-bui1d ings saved.
Besides the loss of the house and
furniture, many valuable articles of
jewelry and family mementoes were
burned which can never be replaced.
The insurance is $500 on the house and
500 on contents, in the Firemdn's
Fund. Mrs. Stone lost about $500 in
valuable jewelry and apparel, and
saved nothing but an ordinary house
dress which she wore down town.
The origin of the fire is mystery. as
no one was in the house at the time,
but it is supposed to haye been caused
by defective aue or the explosion of
a hanging lamp.

They were all hard cases, and it was
not an act of charity to feed them.
One of them had his arm so tightly
bandaged as to stop circulation and
swell the hand, and claimed his arm
was broken. This is an old game,
sometimes varied by burning or bis

right thing, in keeping the hobos NOV

The JOURNAL would suggest that it
would be good idea to re-organize

practical trials in order to keep their

having special work to attend to, have
left town, and it would be we'll to see
that others are instructed in their

The absence of vibration, even when
the ship was driven at her highest speed,
was very marked. In fact. the vibration
could hardly be felt, except at the ex-

position would be most serious. The
speaker called attention to the damage
done to the commerce Of the United
States by the Alabama and remarked
that many such vessels might be set
to prey upon British commerce in time
Of war. He proposed that State gran
aries be erected for keeping supplies.
Sir Charles Dixie QtadicaD contended
that Russian exports of wheat TO Great
Britain were decreasing I'm average years,
and he asserted that half OF Great Bril-
tain's food came from the United States.
IF the United States, Canada, and Aus
tralia can feed US" he said, I'VE are in
dependent OF Russia. as the interests and
advantages of those countries would be
so strong that we could rely upon them
to supply us"
Sir Charles said he thought other states
were not likely to take any steps In regard
TO contraband OF war which would be
likely 10 bring the United States down

A. J. BaIfour. First Lord OF the Urea

with the United States, Great Britain
could stand against any conceivable com
bination of the Powers.
The real thing upon which Great bri'
tain was dependent, Mr.. Balfour asserteu
was her navy, for which the government
accepted the responsibility.
The discussion was then dropped.
