fine of $3.50 aud costs OF prosecution
The parties were on trial for violation
of the act of 1903, which made the

Crowley, who claimed that he had lost
about $4,000 from the games main.

Prosecuting Attorney substituted,
however, an information under the
misdemeanor act, for the reason that

CROP BULLETIN,

Following is the crop report fur.
nished the STANDARD by the U. S. De.
pariment of Agriculture, Seattle sta
ton, for the week ending May 80:
AS the result of warm sunshine and
growing weather for several consecu.
tive days following the copious but
cool rains of the first two or three
days OF the week, crops have made
decided advancement. In some local.
tiles the rain was heavy. especially in
the San Juan and WILDLY islands,
where 1t was greatly needed.
West OF the Cascade mountains oats,
potatoes, meadows and pastures have
been greatly improved, while in the
eastern counties wheat, oats, barley
and gardens have received decided
benefit. Both winter and spring
wheat are reported in very promising
condition. The former is heading
slowly, and some is in bloom in Kick
itat county. In the southern counties
alfalfa cutting is in progress, and the
strawberry season is at it's height. The
berry crop has been considerably les.
sened by frosts. In the western coun.
ties the strawberries are beginning to
ripen.
In many localities it is found that
the frosts of the previous week greatly
damaged fruit, such as cherries, plu ms
and prunes. and, in some cases apples,
and lessened the crop as much as one.
half. Gardens have begun to grow
rapidly since the warmer weather.
Potatoes are thrifty, although some.
what weedy. Those replan ted on ac-
count of seed rotting, or cutting down
by frost, are coming up we'll. Hops
have been making slow progress.
There are many reports of missing

A Strange Suicide.

Maria Lawrence, about 20 years OF
age, domestic at the home of Judge
Anders, committed suicide Tuesday
morning, by swallowing carbolic acid.
Investigation discloses no cause for
the rash act. The victim appeared t.
be in good spirits, WAS in excellent
health, and when the Judge and his
son left the house for a walk about
$3.50 o'clock the girl had not given the
slightest evidence that she contemp-
lated the horrible act OF self-destruc.
ton. When the Judge returned alone
An hour later, he called the girl, but
hearing no response, he went to her
room, pushed open the door and
found her lying on the bed and al
ready dead. An empty vial and
tumbler betrayed too Enthusiastically
the tragedy that had just happened.
DR.. Redpath WAS summoned but she
was beyond mortal aid. Coroner
Bridgford directed removal of the
body to the Whiteside undertaking
parlors, without the formality of an
inquest. Miss Lawrence came here
from Brown Branch, Mo-, about year
ago, where her parents and two
sisters and two brothers reside. A
sister, Luella. is employed as domestic
at Tumwater, and q brother, Hans,
works in q Lacey logging camp.
Since the above was written, it is
reported that it was probably the de.
sertion of q man to whom she was
engaged, that led the young woman
to self-destruction.

In Memory Of Our Country's Defenders.

The Memorial Day observance in this
city was specially commendable from
the interest taken in the parade which
consisted OF an advance guard of Sons OF
Veterans, led by the Capital City Mill
tary Band, who were followed by a
carriage with Gov. Mead, orator of the
occasion, Grand Army Veterans and
auxiliary organizations, young ladies
% in number, representing the States,
Territories and dependencies of our
government, and school children repre-
senting its strength, stability and hope.
Flags and flowers everywhere lent
their charm to the pathos OF the oc-
casion. One feature at Maple Park,
was the first raising OF the magnifi-
cent 3O-foot flag upon the lO0-f0ot
pole, provided by the Ladies Civic I'm.
provement Club. Here it was that
the oral, ritualistic and musical exer-
cises we're held. Gov. Mead's address,
which was read from manuscript,
would fill about five ordinary news.
paper columns, and was an eloquent
tribute to the memory of the patriots
who sacrificed their lives on the altar
OF their country. An impressive fea.
ture OF the ceremonies was the roll
call of comrades of the Grand Army
and the Spanish Army who have
answered to another, on the other
side OF the Dark River. After the ad-
dress. that beautiful hymn Nearer,
My God, to Thee" was sung, and the
memorial ritual OF the Grand Army,
including volleys in salute for the
dead and taps concluded the heartfelt
tribute to their memory and the glor-
ious results their lives commemorate.
