Miss Lucy kcarncv, the acknowl-
edged queen OF Olympia restaurant
walters, IS now installed ut the City
Bakery restaurant, ON Fourth street,
where her smile gladden> the hearts
OF hundreds OF her old friends.
Disciples OF Isaak Walton say that
the deepening OF the channel to the
lower harhor has caused an increased
run of edible fish into the upper bay.
BE this rs it may, good fish are being
caught in large numbers from Long
Bridge.
Since metropolitan aldermen have
inauguratcd the innovation of pro-
hihiting tobacco chcwcrs from splitting
upon the sidewalks, Olympia ladies
are renewing their efforts to have
cu>pidors placed upon the principal
street corners.
"U. z. SAM" who pays annual
visits to this part of the Lords herit-
age, to sing doggercl of his own COM
position with Il fiddle accompaniment,
As Il means of gathering in nickels for
a living, has been holding forth on
our streets the past few nights.
The funeral of Myrtle LETTERS, the
young lady who was killed by the fall
ing of a tree during the storm on
Thursday of last week, on the road to
Chambers Prairie, took place Satur-
day, ut the Christian church in this
city, of which she was member.
Bigger & Going have some bargains
in rotary churns, as will be seen by a
reference to their advertisement in
this issue of the STANDARD. AS butter
has assumed the gold-standard ratio
and jumped to steady congested'
price, improved methods for its pro.
duction should be in demand.
Times seem to be out of joint with
our suburban neighbors, if one is to
judge by the litigation going on. Last
week Justice Dial held Frank Herbert,
of Rainier, to answer to charge OF
perjury, and Monday A. p. Perry, OF
Tenino, was discharged after examina-
ton on complaint for the same crime
Mr.. w. H. Clark left on Tuesday
for Spokane on protracted visit
among relatives. Mr.. Clark is one OF
the olden-time "Olympia boys" and
should he conclude to make q perma-
nent residence in the upper country,
his departure will leave wide break
in the thinning ranks of the Capital
city's old citizens.
Democrats, Republicans, Populists
Saints and Sinners, all joined in ap.
plauding the comments of the last
STANDARD on his accidency's veto Of
the capitol bill. The applause was as
unanimous as it was in Judge Dial's
court when Mr.. Page, the Minute
Clerk of the House, was cleared from
the charge of forgery" preferred by
tool of one high in authority.
The State offices will from now on
until September be in "outer dark
ness" unless some provision is made to
pay for electric "juice" or gas. The
new contract, by which the lessee as
sumes that expense, does not 60 into
effect for several months yet, and the
Legislature failed to make an appro-
priation for that special service ad
interim. Well, daylight is lengthen-
ing, and that may serve in pinch.
Some of our city subscribers served
through the postal delivery, complain
that they do not get the STANDARD
till Monday, or the third day follow
ing publication. They should com.
plain to Mr.. Wisner, the Postmaster
for the paper never fails TO 60 to the
pOstoffice on Friday evening, and
should be delivered sometime Satur-
day; especially as Sunday follows and
the carriers crest" A little judicious
kicking, now and then, is as good fol
the barnacles as it is for the infusoria
upon which they feed.

Thursday and made the following
changes in the respective institutions
DIR. WaughOp was summarily removed

posed on the Deputy Warden. J. B.
Gehr was made Clerk of the institu.
ton, vice the present incumbent, re-
moved. No further changes were
made and the board adjourned subjec,
to call of chairman.
Bear in mind that on Thursday
evening, the 22d inst, the Smalley
Grand Concert Co., the finest lady
quartette in the world, will appear a,
Olympia Theater in programme Of
melody, interspersed with sentimental
and humorous recitations by Miss
