The poultry show of this county
began Wednesday. in the repaired
bowling building. corner of Wash
ington and Fifth streets. with Il
splendid display of birds on exhibi
ton. consisting of chickens, ducks.
geese and turkeys. 1t is thought
that the display is even better than
the one held last year. Many fine
fowls have been received from other
counties. Harry Collier, of Tacoma,
is here to pass judgment in the
award of prizes. a good list OF which
await award aside from the regular
premiums of the association. The
price of admission this year has been
reduced to ten cents.
The Holy Rollers. which name
they rcpudiatc and declare they are
in no way connected with the lawless
organization that has brought re-
proach upon religion. nor that hyp-
notism has anything to do with the
acts of the members while under
the spirit of the Lord, by W. w.
Young. the leader of the Apostolic
Faith in this city, has appealed to
, the city authorities for protection
and also presented bill for SIS
damages alleged to have been done
by the rabblc, with the sanction of
the police. The Mayor therefore ap-
pointed q special policeman from one
of the members of the sect to pre-
serve order, and enable them to
carry on their meetings undiSturbed.
There the matter rests, for the
present. and the claim for damages
was passed over without action by
the Council.
Forestadhogen, the ranchman who
committed suicide in a West Fourth
street lodging house, last week, left
a note signifying his wishes with re-
gard to the property he owned at the
time of his death. a translation,
placed before Prosecuting Attorney
Troy. gives an unsigned statement
which directs that the money he
leaves be sent to his mother, the
home (ranch) he awards to his broth
err, Matthias. if he has not returned
to Norway, conditioned that he pay
the mother $50 year until it is paid
for at q reasonable price; a rifle he
willcd to his brother, Armund, in
Norway. The writing further re-
quests that the fact he died by his
own hand be not revealed to his
mother. He places the blame for his
rash act to unkind treatment of his
neighbors, who he alleges wished to
drive him from the ranch SO as to in
crease their pasturage.
The compliment to Olympia boys
from Professors in the State College
are gratefully received, although we
feel impelled to note exceptions to
the language in which the facts are
made known. For instance, Prof.
Strong states that Rudolph Meyer
is making good upon the cornet.
He further says that lad is in the
front row of the band" which. I'M
less it is slang, (Which it probably is)
means that he is in the lead, and
plays either cornet, q piccOlo, or a
clariOnet. Then again. the rows"
are so short that the expression
head of the line," would be better.
He further says that Rudolph is
making good" at school. That
the expression is q favOrite ono with
both faculty and officers, is shown
from the fact that +. +. Nader,
Registrar OF the College, writes:
The Olympia fellows are all making
good here" The STANDARD is not
at all captiOus, but it thinks that
leading educators should not set such
fragrant examples in the use of slang.

that Chinese opium den was running
full blast, through a member of their

the story with the usual sensational

the informer acted the part of Judas,

worse than the victims of the dope.
