pounds Of shrimp a quarter of a mile

The thriving little city of Shelton, a
few miles northwest OF Olympia, mas
raised about 81 600 for Fourth of
July celebration. Among the num-
erous features will be a big barbecue
and clam bake. Inasmuch as Olym-
pia passes up the observance of the
day, and Shelton being close by, they
should look out for big crowd OF
visitors.
Mrs. Robt. Allen caught 4 devil fish
at Hartstein Island, last Sunday; or
rather, the devil-fish caught at her,
and succeeded in pulling a stick from
her hands with which she was poking
under big rock. The ugly monster
was routed from his cover and dis.
patched by her male companions, and
measured eight feet with his feelers
extended.
Some miscreant has killed Frank
Owings' st. Bernard dog by poison,
and its owner offers q reward of 500
for information that will lead to dis
covery and conviction of the individ-
ual who committed the act. The dog
was general favorite in the COM
munity, and greater punishment
than mere fine would probably be
accorded if his identity be discovered.
Mr.. A. H. Chambers recalls the fact
that we experienced very wet June
in 1891. He says that the street rail-
way company OF which he was mem.
Der, were track-laying at that time,
and that rain fell every day of that
month, interfering continually with
outdoor labor. While he thinks this
month has made the record for down.
pours. that fifteen years ago cannot be
beat for frequency of showers.
John Wagner died in st. Peters
hospital, Tuesday night, at the age OF
70 years. He had lived in this county
the past half century, working at
farm-life long as possible, and a short
time ago was sent to the hospital by
the County Commissioners. His mind
seemed to have entirely lapsed. for his
reply was Eyes" to all questions. 1t
was. therefore, impossible to ascertain
anything about his relatives or his
antecedents.

noon, aged IS years, and till about ten
days ago appeared to be in robust

The Christian and Missionary ALI
lance people have been conducting
very interesting revival meetings in
the stOre-room on Main street, oppo-
site Elks' block, formerly known as
"SpurgeOn's Candy Kitchen" The
plan for attracting audiences is the old
one of street-corner singing, prayer
and exhortation, followed by an invita-.
ton to visit their ball. 1t differs very
materially from the army work in be.
ing of q more refined nature, and with.
out the clang of cymbal or the beat Of
drum. II has no distinctive creed and
endeavors to unite all by faith in the
Saviour.
George Yantis. . young man ap-
preaching his majority, has been for
some time past engaged in self.im.
posed athletic acts, principally in rum
ming, purely for physical development.
His favorite course has been from his
home to the waiting house on Tum-
water bluff and return; sometimes to
the Westside mill and back. A few
days ago he made longer test of en-.
durance by going "around the bloch"
a distance OF fifteen miles, which he

minutes. This, we think, is q splen-
