The Carlton House has been be-
seiged, this week, by commercial tray
eers, representing almost every de-
partment nj trade. The typical
drummer ! always at home with Mr..
Gimblet. As one veteran puts it, ~
always like t" take in the Capital city,
just for the sake Of stopping at the
Carlton, even il DO not secure an or
der from any OF the business men Of
this sprIghtlv town"
An effort i to be made 10 supply
the city cemeteries with water by dig
ging we'll and pumping therefrom
by windmill \ much better plan,
and one involving no risk of failure
would be, We think, to place ram at
the Deschuttes falls and run a small
pipe to an elevated tank at the ceme-
taries. from which pipes could be laid
to hydrants at convenient points for
hose connections.
! Robt. Cunningham, Aaron Royce
W. Z. Miutzer, VIM. Hall, W. Whit
thorne and Chas r. Wilcox are addi-
tional recruits enlisted this week for
the Thirtv-ifth regiment. The lat ter
closes a we'll established BARRIERS busi-
ness in this city, but he la. been
promised the position OF regimental
barber in the 35th, which is a "pick-
up OF considerable Importance, aver
aging four or five times much as
his pay as soldier.
1t i good thing for our city that
the proposed NJ. f. excursion to Seat
tie has been abandoned. 1t was to
have been two days atfair-going
one day and returning the next, thus
atfording a hours for visiting bargain
counters and spending money that
had better be kept at home. The
steamboat management wisely, we
think, placed the round-trip fare at a
figure that precluded a speculative in
tent on the part OF excursionists, aud
that ended the matter.
There is nothing in our exchanges
over the route played by the Shirley
Co. but unstinted praise of the band
and company, collectively and indi-
vidually. 1t has played in first-class
theaters and return dates in many in
stances, as it does here There is not
play on the repertoire for the week
but what will prove delight to our
people and is worthy Of full house.
The public will note that the prices of
admission charged here are less than
in Tacoma or Seattle-the best seats
selling at so cents in both those cities.
John Lowe, charged with assault
and battery had trial before Judge
Schomber, this afternoon. Defend
ant and his wife have separated and
are living apart. The assault con-
sists in his persistent efforts to force
himself into her presence whenever
he gets under the influence OF liquor,
a very common proceeding with him.
He then breaks into her domicile at
the east end OF the N. P. tunnel and
makes himself peculiarly Objectionable,
and it is to restrain him from such
visits that he has been held to answer
for assault.
W. L. Bowen, of Spokane, and Miss
Edith Cavanaugh, of this city, will be
united in marriage at the family
home, corner of Union and Franklin
streets, Wednesday, and leave by the
afternoon train for bridal tour in
Eastern Washington. Mr.. B. is a
civil engineer on the Great Northern
Railroad, and the bride a daughter Of
our popular Postmaster, w. T. Cavan-
augh. The best wishes OF the STAND
ARD go forth to the young couple on
this joyous occasion. May their path
way ever be strewn with the brigh test
flowers of affection. and their life be
one of continued peace and happiness
William Scotland, stranger to
this community was taken into Gus
tody, Tuesday. by Sheriff Billings and
after an examination before Judge
Linn was committed to the asylum at
Fl. Steilacoom. The unfortunate
man is German by birth, about 35
years of age, and his hallucination is
that the Governor of Oregon is his Ne
mesis and constantly searching for
him to inHict torture. As he had
been an inmate OF the Oregon asylum
a year or more, and was recently dis
charged therefrom, it is probable that
this fact associates the executive with
his incarceration and consequent per-
suit.
I The Baptist church people have
waxed defiant even in the face of an
overruling Providence. Having post
poned their down Sound excursion
several times on account of stormy
weather, they proposed to go to-day,
rain or shine, sink or swim, survive or
perish-and go they did. Their last,
unique dodgers are couched in the
following positive terms: "Going!
Without standing upon the order OF
our going. This time there will be
no postponement" This reminds us
