The local authorities are looking
for the assailant of Mrs. Abbie Kin
ser, a respectable married woman re-
siding near Centralia, Monday night.
She was Overtaken by man who
seized her by the shoulders and
startled her with the command
Come with me-" To her very nat
ural inquiry Where to?" he num-
bled some sort of reply, and she
broke away from him and ran,
screaming towards the home of q
neighbor. He drew Il revolver and
brandished it about, commanding her
to cease her outcries MIR. Davis, a
neighbor aroused oy her calls opened
a window and told her he was COM
ing to the rescue, when the villain
made hasty departure.
Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of Arlitt & Ward, who have
bought the large and well-established
business of the A. c. Stevens shoe
store, on Main street. Mr.. Arlitt
has during a residence of several
years built up reputation for in
dustry, honesty and fairness that is
better than fortune in exploiting
any business, and Mr.. Ward has
been in the service of Mr.. Stevens the
past three and has had seventeen
years experience in the shoe trade.
So it will be seen that they have only
one other qualification for success
full and satisfactory business-.he
goods to sell-and they have that to
an eminent degree. They have by
far the largest and best stock in
town, as bare inspection will show.
The Hewett Moving Picture and
Speciality Company have been per-
forming the past week in Olympia
Theater to good audiences: The
pictures are good ones, but we think
mistake was made in placing the
lenses so far from the serene as to
render them at times quite indis-
F, tinct. This difficulty has been OBJ
waited by moving the picture projec-
tor to the balcony front. The sing
ing is far above the average of vaudc-
vile minstrelsy and the legerdemain
quite clever. The Hewetts will be
recognized as old time favOrites, who
appeared in the same house nearly
dozen years ago. They will APP
pear tonight and close with to-mor-
rows performance. The programme
is changed nightly, and occasionally
delightful little comedy or min
strel act is substituted for legerde-
main. They are good people and en-
titled to the good will they receive
wherever they appear.
Early yesterday morning donkey
engine boiler exploded at Bordeaux,
in the Black Hills, surrounded by
many workmen, in driving piles to be
used as foundation for new store.
The huge boiler weighed several
thousand pounds was hurled through
the home of Arthur Sapp, which
stood fully 200 feet away, and al
