The entertainment closed with "The
Happiest Land" patriotic song de-
lightfully rendered by mixed voices,
followed by America" reinforced by
voices from the audience. Much
credit is due to Miss Potter, for the
evident care shown in the preparation
OF the entertainment, as we'll as to
Mrs. Wisner for the tasteful decora-
ton OF the stage. No attempt was
made at profusion-the usual fault of
amateur decorators-but like the eff
feet produced by few skillful strokes
of the artists brush on canvas, a
charming result attended the few ma
nipulations of vines and flowers when
directed by judgment and a correct
eye for the beautiful.
The pastors of the several churches
have united in a protest against the
baseball game, announced by the
committee of arrangements for the
celebration to take place on the Fair
Grounds, on Sunday. They have
furnished us a copy for publication,
but We cannot find space for it in this
issue, nor indeed do we believe that its
Importance merits that much con-
sideration, when the church people
themselves are not united as to the
day which constitutes the Christian
Sabbath. We have an evidence of
this in the object-lesson taught by a
Jealous Seventh Day Adventist, an ex-
ceedingly pious lady, who persists on
doing her washing ON the back stoop
of her residence in the plain sight of
people on the street, while the
"church-going bells" are calling sim
ners to repentance every Sunday
morning. Nor do we believe it i'm
proper to engage in wholesome recrea-
ton on Sunday, any more than it is
for the preacher to sweat over his
labors in the pulpit or for the housewife
to cook the yellow-legged chicken for
his Sunday repast after his labors
have partially ended for the day.
The chiuk of the coins as they drop
into the contribution pan Sunday,
shows that it is not altogether dis
interested effort, and that there must
be some love for that "root of evil"
which controls in some degree, sacred,
as it does absolutely, in all secular
matters.

Mr.. and Mrs. Skillman celebrated

The courthouse is now surmounted
by flag staff, the top of which is 1S6
feet from the ground. While the pole
does not add to the beauty of the build

The Capital City Brewing Com

improvements to their property at

1t seemed like old times to hear

out on the evening air with much of
their old time harmony and rhythm.
A man named Zimmerman who
poses as sewing machine agent, was
brought before Justice Dial, Tuesday,
charged with improper conduct at the
homes of people living in the out
skirts of town. His responsibility for
this conduct was somewhat modified
by the suspicion that he is not in his
fright mind" and he was dismissed
with reprimand and the injunction
to " Go and sin no more"
Everybody is urged to decorate his
residence and place of business. A
few evergreens and flowers and an
ample display of bunting will cost but
little and add much to the impression
visitors will receive of our town. Par
ties have been soliciting orders for fir
trees for sidewalk decoration at Is
cents piece, and at that rate con-
tinuous fringe of evergreen should line
both sides of our principal streets.
Little Oily says that the new flag
staff on the dome of the courthouse
"points heavenward with the accuracy
of magnetic needle pointing north

have decided inclination from the
vertical, for every schoolboy knows
that there is decided detection OF
the compass from the true meridian,
and that calculation making allow
ance for it has to be made in comput-
ing ships course on the high seas.

more, to warn everybody against the
danger of destructive fires during our
national festivities, next Monday
There is every reason now to believe
that the sidewalks. the roofs OF build.

ground will be as dry as finder. The
best way to prevent fire is for every
occupant OF building to see we'll to it
that his own premises are exposed to
no risk from the discharge of explo.

hands and pockets of children.
Boys should not be allowed to dis
charge firecrackers or other explosives
on the sidewalk, or upon the streets
within the business boundaries of the
city. Many cities, both east and west,
have enacted stringent regulations as
to the promiscuous use of firecrackers
in the hands of small boys. Olympia
possesses plenty of vacant lots where
the boys can assemble to have a good
time all to themselves and with no
danger to buildings or other property.
Adequate authority is vested in the
police force of every city to restrain
anybody, young or old, from the care

the mischievOus firing of explosives.

MENTAL TELEPATHY.

Chicago Chronicle.
The attention of students OF tele-
pathy. thought transference and KIN
dred psychological subjects is called to
a series of remarkable phenomena that
have been observed within the last SIX
weeks. We refer of course to the sin
yular manner in which Wall street has
anticipated the action of the executive
in dealing with the Cuban question.
BY merely observing the course OF
sugar trust stock, for instance, close
observers have been enabled to foretell
several hours - sometimes several
days in advance what the President S
next move would be. The indications
on the surface might be most warlike,
but let the list take an upward turn
and it was fundamentally certain that
white doves would begin to flutter
from the executive mansion within a
very short time AS Wall street OF
course has no share in the Presidents
confidence, it is obvious that the infor-
nation is obtained telepathically, and
that the brokers, whom we have look
ed upon as earthly beings Of the
earthliest kind, are in reality "sensi-
Iiyes.' The matter is so interesting
that we may hope that DR.. Hudson will
devote a chapter to it in the next edl-
ton of his Law of Psychic Phenom-
ena.'
