and moreover lead to serious results

1t Is SAID OrtiS Hamilton reads IL,
STANDARD. What does he think
about the remarks at the Haywoo,
meeting to the effect it is better /,
spend the money of the State il
leading a fast life than for guns ano
cartridges to overawe ldboring men
This Is Il peculiar argument to say
the least, but Hamilton might WORK
up Il littlc sympathy by attempting
to use such twisted logic in his de
Tense.
Mrs. K. X. Haine>, of Los Angeles
Cal. is visiting relatives at Shelton.
Many years ago she resided in Olym-
pa, while her husband was construct
ing the first telegraph line between
Portland and this place in the early
Cos. The first message was taken
from the wire by means of a pocket
sounder by Mr.. Haines, of several
hundred words of news for the STAND
ARD. Mr.. Haines died last year at
the California home.
The funeral of Mrs. a. II. Vii
Hams, OF Chambers Prairie, who
died at the local hospital. on the 9th
inst, after Il few days illness, was
held Sunday afternoon from White
sides chapel. She leaves a husband
and five children to mourn the loss

number of friends present and the
beautiful flowers in evidence.
The Hagenbeck & Wallace's show
here last week. was attended by ret
inuc of thieves and confidence men,
who worked the town for almost
everything in sight, even to stealing
robes from the autos of patrons of
the show while they stood outside
the tent awaiting return of their
owners from the show grounds in
the forest. Many clothes-lines were
robbed and homes entered for alb
straction of valuables later at night
Gordon, a son of Charles Billings
OF this city. met with Il peculiar acct
dent, Tuesday, while at the County
Club, with his parents. A camp
stool collapsed with him, and in an
attempt to save himself from the
fall, he grasped the stool, when his
finger was caught between the seve-
raj parts, which pinched the nail and
part of the finger off. The wounded
member was temporarily dressed by
a surgeon who happened to be on the
grounds.
The Olympia youths who built and
operated a wireless station in this
city, have been induced to establish
another at the A.-Y.-P. fair grounds.
They have so far, however, only re-
ceiving instruments. by which they
have been able to intercept messages
of the United Wireless Company.
They expect soon to receive the in
struments for sending messages.
The fair people donated part of the
IhurstOn county appropriation to
the boys to encourage its develop
ment.
The Governor has issued extradi-
ton papers to Sheriff Schavely, of
Clinton county. Mich. for two elop-
erS, ID. f. Teeter and Mrs. Deal,
both old enough to know better.
They were arrested at Tacoma, last
week, and Doth have expressed q
Willingness to return with the of
flccr, and the most unusual part of
the escapade is that both firmly be-
lieve their legal companions will
withdraw the charge of desertion and
welcome them back with all the joy
meted out to the returning prodigal
of Scriptural renown.
Sheriff CASTOR arrested Henry
Murray and J. A. Walker by tele-
phone, and cited them to appear and
answer to a charge of assault pre-
ferred against them by Hugh A.
klady, at Independence, over a
neighborhood feud. This is an I'M
usual way of making an arrest, but
as both the defendants are we'll
known, responsible men, the Sheriff
took the easier way of serving the
writs. Both men appeared on the
appointed time. Walker was dis
missed and Murray was put under
$500 bonds to appear in court when
wanted.
The home of r. B. Bowles, on
Chambers prairie, was burned to the
ground, with its contents, Tuesday
night, about s oclock. Mr.. b., with
difficulty, saved the months old
baby. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, as well as its rapid progress.
The family had lately moved from Che
halls county to the Frank Stason
farm, which embraced the property
destroyed. The barns and sheds were
saved, but the dwelling-hOu in
volved loss of 5000, with $500 in
surance. The family is now at the
home of Harry Garstang, where they
will remain for the present.
The Olympim gives the astound-
ing information that a lively comet
made its appearance in the eastern
horizon at an early hour, Tuesday
morning. which danced about the
heavens for some time" 1t was
probably shooting star it saw, but
never before has one been described
as dancing about the heavens. 1t
was probably some local cause that
gave it that appearance. 1t is said
that a sportsman once fired all his
ammunition away at snipe which
proved to be a louise on his eyelashes.
