The change o. ownership of the
Capital Hotel brings to light the
TACT that it has been the home, the
past five years, of a well-appearing, re-
fined old lady who has been ever
since, the ward of the good ladies of
the Relief Society. She was afflict-
I'd with some mental alteration
which had made her past blank;
she did not even know her own name,
where she had come from or whittier |
going. An application to the County
Commissioners for relief has been
net with a proposition to place her
in an asylum, but this the ladies will
not listen to, and just what will be |
done is problem that still interests
those who have befriended her the |
past five years.
A baker named Carl Starck was
found dead, at Centralia. last Satur-
day, in q ditch, with his throat cut,
but whether the wound was self-in- |
l1icted or by the hand of an assassin,
nobody seems able to determine. AS
several strange men and a woman
had inquired for Starck, several
lays before the body was found, a |
mystery surrounds the transaction
which gives support to the belief
that he had been murdered, while an
attempt at suicide several months |
ago gives quite as wide scope for a |
theory of self-destruction. Starck
worked in Olympia, at the time Fred
Schwin bought out the interest of
A. L. Mork in the bakery here, and
soon afterwards left for Centralia.
The present Presbyterian church

begin the work of removal Monday,
to prepare the site for the new struc-
ture to be erected for the Presby-
terrain congregation. Meanwhile SER
vices will be held in the present build
ing on its new location. The matter
of construction of the new Y. M. G.
A. building has been abandoned for
the present, from inability to secure
q fund adequate for the contemplated
plans. The church building will be,
soon as possible, fitted up for q social
hall and gymnasium by its new own
ers.
The gratifying announcement has
been made that Mr.. A. A. Phillips
has been appointed deputy of Mr..
A. w. Engle, State Bank Inspector,
positions created by an enactment of
the last Legislature. The Office of
deputy carries with it a salary of $2,-
400 per annum; its duties are re-
sponsible and strenuous, but Mr..

was unanimously recommended for
