RUNAWAY. —Just as M. R. Tilli I}' 1 }'
was getting up his team, the grey
aiul bay, to go out to the Depot
last Wednesday, the horses thought
of something they wanted to see
away up in the south-eastern part
of town, and suiting the action to
thought, sprang out of the stable,
attached to the old stage wagon, at
a fearful rate of speed, scattering
di bri# here and there from the place
of starting to a point in the timber
near Varner's Camp. They stopped
about about as abruptly as does this
item.
FIKE AT VANCOUVER. —The old build
ing in Vancouver, known as St.
Joseph's Hospital, was destroyed by
tire last Sunday afternoon, originat
ing from a defective flue. The
. building was ereoted about 15 years
ago, and the loss is therefore com
paratively light, as it bad about out
lived its usefulness. The loss is
placed at 92,500, half of which is in
damage to furniture. There was a
small insurance on the building.
USEFUL AcooMi'LISHMENT.-The teach
er of dress-making is closing her en
gagements. Her pupils are said to
have made great proficiency; but we
are not afraid to wager amonth'ssub
scription to the DAILY EXPEMMENT
that " Auntie" will continue to cut
and fit the dresses for every moth
er's daughter who has " learned the
method."
OLYMPIC HOTEL. —This favorite re
sort continues to attract a large share
of public custom. It is centrally lo
cated, the table well supplied, and
under the immediate supervision of
Mrs. Sparks and her daughter Mil
lie. The Olympic is a comfortable
home for the wayfarer. •
AN INDICATION. —The prairie schoon
ers that so frequently visit our city
from the Chehalis country, plainly
indicate what might be expected in
the line of freight business, if we had
railroad communication with that
rich agricultural section of our Ter
ritory.
fy If a contemorary with itching

of Salem, ia on a visit to the Souad.
He came to Olyuipi» (.imply because
it wan connected by rail with the
Northern Pacific road. He aava that
although he reads tbe principal Ore
gon papers, be never heard of tbe
"O. T." railroad, and having found
one end of it he prospected along to
see " where the darned thing ran
to." This is aot his exact language,
but he did say he thought the busi
ness of the road would be materially
increased by a little judicious adwer

Sy Mr. O. F. Boynton recently
from the Skokomish Reservation,
Mason county, reports everything
in a prosperous condition in the In
dian country. Mr. Boynton, with his
family, has a leave of absence for a
few weeks, which he wisely devotes
to rest and recreation. His colleague,
Mr. Beatty, prefers to wait a little
longer, and, aa the Christian war
song has it, " Bear the toil, endure
the pain," until the day of deliver
ance whicV, we believe, is about the
first of July next.
Or The people of Portland are
excited over their water-rates, al
though they are no higher than our
own; and they receive a full supply,
while our's has been the past few
weeks shut off a third of the time.
There is no deduction for short sup
ply, in the bills presented, and they
are promptly paid, but such clemen
cy would not be extended to the
milkman, or the vender of wood or
coal. If he is short in ueasure or
weight, he is " docked."
TiiEOlympia District School will
begin its fall term on Monday, the
23d inst. The teacher has not yet
been selected, but the directors say
they have a good supply of material
to select from, the applications being
unusually mumerous. Three depart
ments will be opened—primary, in
termediate and academic —and/the
school will continue, if possible with
out intermission, nine months. It is
proposed to levy a special tax to
maintain it in part.
DB. Clark will lecture next Sunday
upon " The Evil and Good of Spirit
ualism," an answer to apponents and
skeptics, and again upon " Spiritual
Science." Let all who wish to know
the truth listen, then judge for
themselves; but remember that Sol
omon said, " He that judgetb a pat
ter before he knoweth it, it is a folly
and a shame unto him."

R. lert Miller, formerly no paired a*
' a logger ill Mason county, attempted
self-destruction, Thursday evening,
' at the New England Hotel, by cut
ting his throat. His condition, it i<
thought, was discovered in time tc
save his life. He had been for some
time ill and in mental trouble, and
these influences doubtless produced
the depression that led to the rast
act. He is now in a fair way of re
covery.
COUNTY CONVENTION. —Tbe Demo
crats assembled in Convention at
Dr. Ostrander's office, last Saturday.
The Doctor was called to the chair,
and Mr. Francis Henry elected Sec
retary, after which Messrs. James
Longmire, John Ostrander and Fran

the Territorial Convention, and Dr-
Ostrander and Messrs. Jos. Chilberg
and Jno. M. Murphy were appointed
a county committee for the ensuing
year.
MR. ROSENTHAL come home so

His store, the next sixty days, will
present a metropolitan appearance.
THE PHONOGRAPH. —This wonderful
invention will be on exhibition in
this place in a few days. It is, with
out exception, the crowning scienti
fic discovery of the nineteenth cen
tury, and should be seen and heard
by everybody who expects to keep
step with the progress of the age.
TS" Although a pretty good arti
cle of cheese is made in large quan
