The balloon ascension at the FairGrounds Sunday was evidently ameans of supreme delight to all whowitn' -sed it, if one may judge fromtiie open mouths and protrudingeyes during the few minutes thelaily consumed in making her flightami descent. The affair was a

glorious success in everything exceptfinances?the gate receipts fallingabout $2.1 short of the amount guar-

anteed for the ascent. About om -halfof those present paid for admission to

the grounds, the other half taking ad-vantage of the conditions which didnot make the payment a matter ofcomplusion.

It was about -1 BO when the lire waslight!d to intlate the balloon. Afurnace had been made hy digging atrench about 11 feet square in theground, which led to a line of some-

what less capacity about 20 feet nil.This Hue rose to the height of aboutsix feet and over it the balloon wasspread, the top being held by ropespassing over two posts about 110 feethigh, to sustain it during the processof nidation. At the time named amatch was applied to the dry wood inthe furnace, which soon became aroaring pit of fire under the stimulusof gasoline that was constantly thrownon the llames hy the fair lerouant,who took quite as active a part in thepreparations as any of her assistants.Soon the canvass began tt. rise, and itslowly tilled and expanded until it oc-cupied a space of about 70 feet inheight and about 10 at its greater di-ameter. A number of men were sta-tioned inside and outside the balloonto control the rise of the canvass andhold the balloon down when tilled tillall arrangemen's should be completed.This operation consumed about 11minutes, and it was therefore about4:41, when Miss Keyes took her seat

on the trapeze and gave the command" Let Go." Instantly the immensehag of hot air shot upwards, like animmense rocket, with Miss Keyes andthe monkey suspended in the para-chutes directly underneath, forming aline that very fairly represented theblaze and glare of the illustrationused. The ascent was fearfully rapid,and seemed to he equal to the speed ofthe famous " Limited Express" trainson the leading Eastern railroads?-neatly a mile a minute.

It was arranged that Miss Keyesshould he controlled by the upper aircurrents in determining the height ofthe ascension. Accordingly afterreaching an attitude of three quartersof a mile, she found the balloon wasrapidly drifting to the westward, andhad to descend in time to enable her tofall in the hay at Tumwater. Hadshe gone 100 feet further she wouldhave encountered a stratum of airthat would have carried her hack di-rectly over the place of ascent, as wasshown hy Hie fall of the balloon, whichentered that current before it be-gan to fall. The monkey, in his three-foot parachute was first cast off, andpresented a tiny cbject scarcely largerthan a pinhead when it began its de-scent. It was about four minutes indescending and fell into the bay. Im-mediately afterwards Miss Keyes cutthe rone which held the 20 foot, para-chute with which she was to descend.

! It fell apparently a few feet, hut iu real-ity quite a distance, before opening,and in the interim people held theirbreath and gave a sigh of relief whenthe broad umhrella-sbaped sheetopened out and checked the rapid de-cent of the hitman being holding tothe ring at the end of the many cordsattached to its circumference. Thedescent was smooth, gradual andgraceful, occupying apparently aboutfour minutes. Miss Keves so guidedthe parachute that she fell within tenfeet of the shore near Crosby's Mill, at

Tumwater. Her descent was rapidenough however, for her to sink sev-

, eral feet the surface, and abystander who happened to he nearran to the hank and greeted her with" Well, I thought you would nevercome up!" as she swam laughingly to

I the shore.

Miss Keyes, or more properly Mrs.Komig, the wife of her assistant, is a na-tive of California, 32 years of age, pos-sessing an excellent education, a viva-cious temperament and splendid con-versational powers. She has followedthe profession of leronaut the past fiveyears, her first ascent having beenmade in Portland in 1888. It was acomplete success, and she seems towear a charmed life, for although shehas made several hundred ascensions,she has never met with a greater acci-dent than a sprained ankle- Herhusband, James J. Homing, is heragent and manager. He is likewisean aronaut, and began that profession12 years ago in Wisconsin, in whichand neighboring States he made manyascensions, with both gas and hot nirballoons. When he came west, how-ever, and married Miss Keyes, shewomanlike, insisted upon occupyingand equally high plane of action, andon wearing the?tights, and the con-sequence was that it is she who almostexclusively occupies the trapeze, whileMr. K. must content himself withother and less conspicuous details.She is an enthusiast in the business,and anticipates no danger from herperilous vocation, although she has alittle golden cross, studded with pre-cious stones given her by a priest, thatshe has always worn at her neck, as acharm against ill-luck.

" How does it feel to be adrift inmid air?" she asked in answer to aquery," why it is simply delightful.When the balloon, is liberated youfeel just as if the Earth is droppingfrom you. There is no indications ofany other motion except it may bethe swaying of the ropes from side toside, and from the rush of wind byyour ears. After you have attainedan elevation of from 4,000 to 5,000feet the view is grand beyond thepower of words to describe. You seemto float in a sea of ether, and yourspirits are as light as those of the birdwhich goes twitting by, your onlycompanion. The view is much dif-ferent from that obtained, or the sen-sation experienced, on the mountaintop, for there you have spread outbefore you the many miles of incline,and the vision is dimmed before itreach the foot-hills and littleis left toenjoy the perspective beyond. Theverdure of the trees beneath me, to-day, appeared as a great carpeting ofmoss, while the bay seemed like asheet of silver, bordered by deeperhues and the reflection of the distantmountains. The houses of your cityappeared about the size of dry-goodsboxes, and the people directly under-neath me grew into minute dots untilfinally lost from view as identities andindividuals, grouped together, couldonly be distinguished by a slightly dif-ferent coloring from the grass andbuildings. Far to the north I saw a

city, but as it came to view just as Ihad determined to deeend, I had notime to impress anything upon mymemory by which you might identifyit. When you are in the air, the sur-face of theEarth presents a gradualrise in the distance, all around you

I The store-room on the corner ofFifth and Main streets, formerly occu-pied by Giles' market, is being fittedup, and it is said that it will soon beopened by W. A.

The manager of the dredger im-

As the workapproaches the mud-Hats, however,the contract with the West Side com-pany willbe resumed.

" Yes, I have went through clouds,in making an asc» tit. The moistureis in the form <>( a mist, instead ofdrops. It i* during the descent of therain that these particles unite andform drops. The sensation in passingthrough the clouds is like that of avapor hath only with several degreesof reduced temperature."

"The origin of my self-confidence,I presume, is in having had an expe-rienced teacher; but I am now sofamiliar with all tire varied experiencesin mid-air that I am absolutely with-out fear. The only judgment 1 ex-ercise is to select a good place toalight, and I cast off so as to fallsomewhat near the place chosen. Theparachute, in the hands of an expi-n-

--enced pi rson. is remarkably easy tomanage. If yon, want to go to oneside, you simply prill down on thatside and ease up on the other. Thisshifts the top of the parachute so thatas it falls the air shoves it along justas it does the sail of a boat in tacking.1 could have managed to return to theFair (irouuds to-dav, but I preferredto drop in the water, and you saw how-near I dropped to shore, and how littleswimming 1 had to do to reach land.

" We go from here to Portland, andwill then return to San Francisco,where we expect next Winter to ope-rate a captive balloon at the Midwinter Exposition, and afford thepublic an opportunity to go up in acage, and, if they so desire to makeparachute jumps from vatiotis alti-tudes, or, like the visitor at the World'sFair, pay another dollar to ride down."

MONEY DRIFT.?The appropriationsmade by the City Council last eveningwere: Payroll, $550.40; W. Habit),$5.50; T. J. Mcßratney. $24; RobertFrost, S3B; A. C. Owen, sl4, and Alex.Farquhar, .50; a total of $039.

WILL EXTEND rrs ROUTE TO OLYMPIA.?The Ist of next month, the Canad-ian Pacific willextend its route to thiscity, service being made by the steam-ers North Pacific and Sehome, to runon alternate days, and leave at somehour in the afternoon. These boatswill run to New Whatcom, makingdirect connection with the transconti-nental road.

STRUCK SOME HARD MATERIAL.?The dredger has struck such hardbottom between the Horr and the

Ellis docks, that her progress liasbeen exceedingly slow. She liasbroken down several times under theextraordinary strain imposed by theremoval of gravel, rocks and subsoil ofhardpan. Some of the rocks weredoubtless dropped from the lighterwhen landing the stone for the court-house.

Fair. All tin' reports agree'Tn thestatement that Mr. Cavanaugh hasbeen of as ahout as much use to theCommission as the proverbial fifthwheel to the wagon, ami it is probablyfor that reason he is sent on this begging mission. He was no use there,and in the eternal fitness of things itwas hoped that he might he of someservice in a role for which nature andadaption lias apparently better quali-fied him.

NOT SO IIAN AS CHARGED.?T. B.Midlothian, charged with larceny byembezzlement of a span of horses andwagon, by E. H. Wright, had an ex-

amination before Justice Kathbun, to-day. It seems that the defendant hadcontracted for clearing a certain tractof land upon the ranch of plaintiff, atSouth Union, for the team and S7Ocash, and that after a partial fulfill-ment of contract, and obtaining thecash payment, Midlothian took theteam and departed, it was shown onthe other side, that Wright had failedto supply powder to blast the stumpsand all the team work had been doneuntil this important step was taken ;that defendant's absence was onlytemporary, and that he had only ac-cepted another job, at harvesting, tillsuch time as necessary supplies werefurnished by his employer.

DEMORKST GOLD MEDAL CONTEST. ?

One of the most enjoyable enter-tainments of the season was thatafforded by the Demurest gold-medalaward at Olympia Theater, last Fridayevening. The six contestants all didremarkably well in declamation, andit was witli the greatest difficulty thecommittee could decide upon therelative merits of the speakers, whenall did so well. Edna Robertson wasthe victor.

A PERMANENT EXHIBIT.?An effortis being made to secure a perma-nent exhibit of Thurston county pro-ducts, such as minerals, stones,woods, clays and manufactured articlesnew in design and instructive incharacter, for the purpose of present-ing in small compass a comprehensiveproof of our many resources. A peti-tion is being circulated asking theCounty Commissioners to appropriatea room in the 'courthouse for thisobject.

HONOHEP NV His LOlHlE. ?(leorge(i. Mills, Past Exalted Ruler ofthe local lodge of Elks, was pre-sented, at the meeting Wednesdayevening, with a beautiful silk apron,embroidered with gold and finishedwith gold fringe. The presentationspeech was made by Frank Gowey,eliciting a feeling response from thedelighted recipient of the token of re-gard. The members afterwards, byinvitation of Mr. Mills, sat down toan elegant repast.

l'o >U HCMAN NATURE. ?Those who

witnessed the ascension of HazelKeyes, at the Fair Grounds, Sundaywithout entering the enclosure, tosave the cost of admission, may findsome comfort in the thought that theguaranty was paid to the aeronauts,just the same as it they had " chippedin," although the citizen who affordedthem the opportunity for doing so,lost just sl9 by their parsimony. Hadall paid the very moderate chargemade at the gate, only a fair marginof profit would have been afforded.As it was, those who are engaged inmaking a study of human naturewere afforded a rate opportunity forextended observation in the throngthat climbed stumps, sealed fences andtook possession of the grove, on priv-ate property, for which a license hadbeen paid to the city of Tumwaterthat the premises might be used as ashow ground for that express pur-pose.

WILL TAKE ANOTHER WAY TO COL.LEI'T. Mr. Crawford's four suitsagainst Mrs. Stapleton to collect theamount of a year's rent of the Ix>sAngeles lodging house, came on fortrial before Justice Rathbun, Wednes-day. The defense moved that theseveral suits he consolidated, as theywere for the same claim ; that the firstsuit must liquidate the whole demandami be a bar to further action, or ifthe whole claim was consolidated theamount involved would be beyond thejurisdiction of the court. The justiceseemed disposed to overrule the mo-tion to consolidate, whereupon Mr.Crawford, on motion, dismissed allfour suits, at his own costs, and willbegin action in the Superior Court forthe recovery of his claim. The princi-ple involved is that, a plaintiff has noright, in suiting his own convenience,to incur excessive costs when the lawhas provided a court of ample jurisdic-tion.

KKMARKAULE INSTANCE OF MATERNAL| NSTINCT. ?The attachment of a lien! lor a grown chick, has come under! our observation. The lien had in-j sisted upon sitting on nothing. Otherhens, and among them a bantam, had

| quite as persistently insisted upon' occupying the same nest and de-positing daily fresh eggs under thepatient biddy that was doing herbest to rival the miracle of creation,

j and evolve something out of nothing.I After the lapse of the usual time forj incubation the hen cauie off. her nest

I clucking loudly for a brood whichcame not; but finally spying the little

, bantam, and having seen it so often in1 the nest she doubtless conceived it to

; be her own offspring, for she at onceadopted it, much to the delight

lof the .bantam, who had no more|to tight for her share of the rutions of

' wheat dispensed twice a day to the: feathered family. While the henfought and scratched for the bantam,same as she might have done for herown, there was one thing she couldnot do, and that was to hover heradopted brood. Try as she would, shecould not get the bantam under herwings, notwithstanding the markedwillingness of the smaller chick to sub-mit to this protection.

STOLEN BICYCLES FOUND ?A party| of young men while gathering berries,last Friday, discovered in the brush ontho summit of Ayer's hill, a bicycle,and surmising that it might be one ofthe two stolen from Mr. Van Epps,store, a few weeks ago, at once notifiedthat gentleman of their find. Onproceeding to the ground, Mr. VanEpps at once recognized the wheelboth from appearance and number,and while they were on the groundthey heard somebody making hasty-time throught the brush, evidently toget away from the close quarters he hadfound himself in. Pursuit was made,but the fugitive escaped. On Satur-day warrants were issued for the arrestof Frank Myers, Ed. McUlarty andWalter Mitchell, and all were soonapprehended and in default of Ifßoobail were locked up in the county-jail, to answer a preliminary exami-nation on Monday. The arrests weremade on evidence gathered from avery slight clue and much credit isdue for the prompt-manner in whichit was worked np. There was a smallkit of tools found on the ground,consisting of a wrench, a strip of book-binder's leather and a bolt-nut. Theblacksmith shops were visited, and atone it was remembered that. Ed. Mc-Clarty had been searching for a nut,and at the Htale printing ollice theother articles were recognized. As Ed.had been employed in that establish-ment, the presumption was quitestrong of his implication. Whenconfronted by tlie Oliief of Police andshown these articles, he at once con-fessed his guilt. Frank Myers, ar-rested later, made a full confession,and tlie other wheel was found justwhere Myers said it was. Mitchellwas arrested as accessory, having aidedin secreting the stolen articles. Tlieboys at the hearing Monday, wererepresented by Kleber and Aver ascounsel, and the State by Judge Root.McClarty and Myers were held toanswer in the sum of 91,000 each, andMitchell in 9800. McClarty's father jand mother furnished his bail, but the jothers, at last accounts, had not found janybody who had sufficient confidence 'in them to go on their bail bond.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. ? Col.Charles E. Hendrickson, of New Jer-sey, made a visit recently to his friend,Governor Newell. The Colonel is oneof the most prominent citizens of NewJersey, is a lawyer and advocate ofhigh distinction and is especially emi-nent as a criminal pleader. He hasheld numerous public professional po-sitions, and as a political, Democratic,leader he ranks amongst the foremostin the State. He was greatly charmedwith the capital city and products,growth and business prosperity. Hewas accompanied by Judge Wallace, ofCalifornia, and Hugh Wallace, of Ta-coma.

ANOTHER RUNAWAY. The usualrunaway of Bigelow's milk team oc-curred Monday evening, with verylittle variation from its past achieve-ments in that line. It may be amuse-ment and recreation for the horses,but it has been suggested that there isa probability of danger to the publicin such occurrences that somewhatimpairs the enjoyment which wouldotherwise be felt in turning the publicthoroughfares into a racetrack. Ifthe owner can find no way to get thedevil out of those horses, he shouldsell them to somebody who can usethem to turn the tread-mill of a thresh-ing machine.

TIME TO REPAIR.?There are severaldangerous sidewalks in the city whichit would be well for the authorities toplace in repair while the weatherfavors outdoor work. The one thatleads from Flunt street by the pipefactory, 011 Third street, lms alreadycaused litigation, and whether thecity, or the company who have use ofthe Btreet, are responsible for repairs,they should be immediately made.The placard " Dangerous" does notlook well exposed in a live city. Aportion of the sidewalk on the west

side of Washington street, betweenThird and Fourth, is likewise inneed of immediate repairs, and onFourth street, between Franklin andAdams there is a section ofwalk in which the nails protrudeiiuite enough for one to stub his toeor to catch the hem of a lady's dress.

REPORT FOU THE WEEK.

Western Washington?Another rel-atively cool but sunny week lias justclosed. With a mean weekly temper-ature of til degrees, that is, only onedegree warmer than for the precedingperiod, the highest temperatures havebeen above 80 degrees only once, onthe Kith; during the rest of the weekthey lyere generally in the 70's. Thecoldest ranged all theway front 42 to 58 degrees. With theexception of an insignificant sprinkleon the 17th, the week remained with-out rain until Monday night, whengood and timely showers of rain fellover the entire Sound country, whichproved of immense benefit to all crops,but more particularly to root crops.No frosts have as yet been reportedfront this section of the State. Owingto the dry weather of tlie past eight orten days small grain has not filled aswell as desired in some counties, whilein others oats are well filled and readyto cut. The early sown crop will bequite heavy in some places, while thelate sown will be light.

Hop growers wear a broad smilenow-a-days, and are working for dearlife cultivating and spraying, says ourKent correspondent. The prospectsfor good prices seem to be brighterthan ever. The American articlepromises to be in demand. The gen-erous showers have revived vegetationwonderfully. Haying is about overwithin this section and large crops ofgood hay have been housed. Fruitlias improved some since last report.Apples in sonic localities arc notgrowing as large as in past years.Fine plums are now " taking an in-ning," are plentiful, of good qualityand cheap. Burning of anda general cleaning is now the order ofthe day.

Eastern Washington?Reports fromthis section say that the weather dur-ing the week has been warmer thanthat of the preceeding week, and verydry with some winds, but not strongenough to interfere with the headingof crops. Last week the mean tem-perature was 67 degrees, while thisweek it was 72 degrees, with maximumtemperatures ranging from 76 to 92degrees. Cool nights have prevailedwith the lowest night temperatures aslow as 44 degrees in the northeasterncounties, where very light frosts occur-red in low ami exposed places. Therelias been no rainfall at all since last report.

In southern counties harvesting isnearing completion while in tlie morenortherly counties harvesting of wheathas just begun. Here and there a re-port is heard about some shrupk grainbut on tlie whole the crops are heavyand although the acreage may nothave been materially increased, yetthe yield will exceed that of previousypars in most cases. It is reportedthat in a field of wheat of 110 acres inexteut in Whitman county, near Col-fax, an average of about 60 bushels ofwheat will be gathered this season.The wheat is said to be seven feet inheight. Tlie noise of the thresher isbecoming more general. In portionsof Okanogan county crops have nearlyall been harvested and gave excellentresults. Haying is still in full blast inBomo counties witli fine prospects.This has been an ideal week for farmoperations of all descriptions. Fruithas done well. Gardens are sufferingsomewhat from want of a little morerain. With a good shower vegetableswould very soon revive and turn outall right. Generally speaking, this hasbeen a favorable week for all farminginterests.

THE CITY COUNClL. ?lmprovementof the public square was the theme ofdiscussion by the City Council lastevening. Mr. Lammon favored apartial fill, say of two feet on theSeventh street side, gradually slopingthe width of the block. He thought itbest to take the earth for the tillfrom Jefferson street, near Union, andof leaving the east side without a side-walk, which would save $125 to go to-wards the expense of hauling earthfor the till. The Mayor favored leav-ing the square as it is and terracingthe sides that required it. The mat-ter was finally referred to the Com-mittee on Health, Police and PublicProperty, who will consult with thelandsca|ie gardcuer who made the im-provements on the courthouse groundsand the City Engineer in preparing areport.

The plug came out of a 10-inchwater main at Colfax, and Main streetwas deluged before the flow could hestopped. Only five inches of water re-mained in the reservoir.
