Mr.. w. L. Olmstead has disposed OF
his interest in the Ritzville Drug store
to his partner, Mr.. Alex +. Rosenoff
and two brothers, Fred and Jacob
Rosenoff, and the new firm name will
be Rosenof & Co., who will continue
the business at the old stand. Mr..
Olmstead retains the building along
with much other real estate property
in the city and county. The gentle
man will take trip to his old home
in Pennsylvania for awhile, but has
not decided what he will engage in
upon his return. Sorry to see Mr.. o.,
retire from business among us, as his
quiet manner and close attention to
his affairs have made him many
friends who appreciate him as q most
worthy citizen: . For eleven years,
hardly day has passed that he could
call his own, and vacation of rest
and recreation is his due. That the
new firm will prosper there is little
doubt. Germans never fail in any
thing they undertake. Their ever
lasting stiek-to-it-iveness with the APP
parent fixed idea that work will over
come all obstacles, proves that they
are quite right in their concl usions.
The Buchanan lambert Co., which
give the last of eight performances in
the city tonight, have proven a pleas
ant entertainment company, and
when they 60 they will leave regretted.
The patronage has increased steadily
each evening and the business has
Been quite satisfactory to everyone
concerned. The audience have been
given the worth of their money, and
the house and troupe have done very
well financially. We can cheerfully
say that the attraction Is made up OF
ladies and gentlemen who are educat-
ed in the line OF business they repre-
sent and are giving the people all or
more than they claim. Ritzville finds
them worthy of most liberal patronage.
The title of the drama tonight is
"'Triss," or Beyond the Rockies, the
price of admission being reduced to
accommodate the public and also to
show appreciation of the managers Of
the company and opera house. To-
morrow night Mr.. Buchanan with his
orchestra of four pieces will furnish
music for the masquerade, which the
entire Buchanan Company will attend.
Hon. Clinton Staser is in receipt OF
a letter from the father Of A. J. Symes
dated at Sterling, Colorado, in which
he offered 4, money consideration to
assist in libcrnting his son from ou-
state penitentiary. Mr.. Staser was
the assistant prosecuting attorney at
the first trial and teels that he cannot
conscientiously comply with the re.
quest to sign the petition or act in
his behalf.
