Baby M Solid Rash
Ugly, painful, blotched, malicious. No rest

Effect marvellous. Saved his life.
..-- L..

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with q viruient,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failing, we called our family physician, who at
tempted to cure it; but it spread with almost in
credible rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little fellows person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees. was one solid rash. ugly, pain.
full, blotcbed, and malicious. We had no rest at
night, no peace by day. Finally, We were advised
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a COM
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows
person as white and healthy as though he had never
been attacked. In my opinion, your valuable re,ne-
dies saved his life, and to-day he is a strong. healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition of the disease
having ever occurred. GEO. B. SMITH,

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE,

When the active interest and cor
dial good feeling manifested by the
people throughout the length and
breadth of the Territory, for the reten-
ton of the Capital at this place, is
considered, it awakens feeling of
gratitude and encouragement in our
people. as it gives evidence of the APP
probation by the people of all localities
OF the advantages and fitness of this
city for the seat of government.
In maintaining this, there is no need
or disposition to dsparage other cities
possessing, as they do, great business
enterprise, as well as agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial adj
yantages and facilities for transporta-
ton, and, therefore, the general ex-
preston of the press and the people
OF the Territory in our favor, evinces,
ON their part, an earnest desire to pro-
mote the greatest good to the greatest
number, and disposition so unselfish
as to promptly and generously concede
the permanent location of the Capital
here. But much as we are indebted
to the press and to eminent represen-
tative men, as well as to the rank and
file OF the people, in both the eastern
and the western sections of our young
and wonderful State, we do not forget
the magnitude of our Indebtedness to
the multitude of ladies, who witness
ing the beauty, healthfulness, social
and intellectual condition, accessibility
and peculiar fitness OF Olympia for the
continued and permanent seat OF gov
crnment OF the State OF Washington,
have, with such disinterested emphasis
and hearty devotion, cl,ampioned our
cause and thereby insured successful
result. Their just and unhesitating
conclusion in this matter is anothe

their respective town sites, rs considera
ton for pufis in their columns, but
by. far the larger proportion of the
press is too fair and honorable to lend
itself to such scheme and sell their
columns for such purposes, as well as
too patriotic to sacrifice the public
interests in order to put money in the
pockets of real estate brokers at the
places named.
Inscriptions means and all kinds
of political trickery will be rcsorted to
in order to subserve their selfish pur-
poses, and we conjure our friends
everywhere to be ON the alert and
"wide awake" and to see that on all
tickets OF both the great political par
ties the name of Olympia is printed,
for the Capital of the State of Wash
ington, and that such tickets are
placed in the hands of all the voters.
Let us work heartily, energetically and
constantly, from this time to the close
OF the polls on election day for the
emphatic success of our good cause.

OUR FAIR CITY.

The extensive public improvements
in Olympia are being prosecuted with
good healthy vigor and are exceeding
ly creditable to the public spirit of our
citizens and the efficiency of the City
Council. Many of the streets, inter
secting Main and running east and
west are being graded and graveled and
the work excellently we'll done. With
lines of fine shade trees and their
luxurient foliage, stretching along
either side OF the streets, the appear
ance is at once fresh, picturesque
and handsome. Additional maple
trees are being planted, which having
rapid growth, will soon thoroughly
shade all the streets and be highly
ornamental to the city. 1t is indeed
exceedingly pleasant to drive through
the streets of the city and the sur
rounding country, with the superb
turn-outs" furnished by the liveries.
Seated in an elegant vehicle, with a
span of spirited and aforementioned
horses, and a charming lady by your
side, on one OF these clear, cool, bril-
liant evenings, gives you a realization
of paradise upon earth. A large
number seem determined to enjoy to
the utmost, such a paradise, as thy go
spinning along our thoroughfares,
with countenances all radient with
smiles of joy and health, making the
scene exceedingly gay and lively.
Moreover buildings are in process of
erection in all parts OF the city, many
OF which possess architectural beauty,
and add day by day to its general APP
pearance and must increase its al
ready enviable reputation for being
the most desirable city for residence
within the borders of the State Hav-
ing wonderfully equablc and healthy
climate, free from the extremes of heat
and cold, beisterous winds and living
gales which so frequently visit North
Yakima and Ellensburgh, and with
the advantage of being at the head
waters of the most magnificent inland
sea OF the world, i. is no wonder that
the verdict of all who have ever been
here, is, that Olympia is in all respects
the proper place for the State Capital,
and it should by all means, be retained
here. 1t is located very nearly at the
geographical center of the State and
much nearer the business cehIefsiand
center OF population, than either of
the inland towns named above.

Once Rogers sweetly sang of pleas.

there are circumstances and conditions
that make the action of the memory
if not painful, at least secondary and
undesirable, when the advantages

present are considered. For instance
what must be the recollcctions of the
resolute, persevering pioneers of this
section, or division, of our glorious
Union, who came here when it was a
bowling wilderness, through which nc
voice was heard but that of the I'm.
cultivated, uncouth and treacherous
savage, and who amid privations, dis.
comforts land dangers, lhb6reA and
struggled to make homes on the shores
OF Puget Sound? Those brave men
and women suffered so severely in
those eArly days that they recall j,

WITHOUT A RIVAL.

The people, of this city are awaking
to a realization of the natural adyan-
Etages of its location, the -Erandeur of
its scenery and, what is very import
ant, its favorable situation and sur
roundings for the preservation of
health. We may have wealth, friends,
talent, education, social distinction, or
whatever is deemed desirable or enjoya-
BILE, if we have not health, we fail to
secure enjoyment. And there is no
place in the great Northwest, On tho
coast or interior, more promotive of
health than Olympia. From the pla-
teau about one. mile from the bay or
wharves in front OF the city, there is a
gentle slope, and the same is the case
on the east and west sides, aifording
perfect drainage, which fact in conncc-
ton with the bracing sea breeze,
makes it one of the healthiest as it is
one OF the most beautiful cities in the
known world. The air so pure, the
scenery so transcendently fine, with
its range of snow-capped Anountnins,
its towering and majestic Mount Raj
nier, or Mount Tacoma" if you prefer
to call it so, itsspacious bay or arm of
the grand old ocean, all is so inspiring,
that, in the language of the poet and
philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
"On these refulgent mornings, it is a
pleasure to draw the breath. -oi-life."
Because it is SO favorably situated, it
has been the capital of the Territory
for about thirty,tive years and the
pride of all its people.
That it should continue to be the
scat Of government for the State, there
is every possible reason, and none can
be given for its removal, except the
feeble and selfish one that it will pro-
mote the interests of few real estate
brokers and land spectators. Moth
ing OF the kind actuates the people of
Olympia, for the city has steady,
healthy growth, and is in no degree
speculative or spasmodic, and the To-
cal pride and earnest desire of our citi-
zens to retain the capital is sustained
by the consciousness that it is by all
means the best place for it-a fact at.
tested to by the citizens of the entire
commonwealth and which they will
reiteratc at the ballot-box.

the young and struggling Territory
In spirit of generosity and genuine
patriotism he donated twenty of his
most beautiful acres to the common
wealth for capital forever. These
grounds becoming more and more
beautiful day by day, are the pride of
our people, are delightfully."- situated
on the most elevated part of the origi-
nal city, and overlooking the splendid
bay, commanding a fine view of the
distant mountains and a charming
country for miles in the vicinity. The
drives, not only in the neighborhood
of the capitol building but radiating
for many miles, are simply delightful,
the roads being over level or gently
undulating grounds.
1t is no wonder that the remaining
early settlers" in their green old
age" not only enjoy to the utmost
the progress and present condition of
the city, but feel just Indignation
when it is proposed to remove the cap
ital from SO central, sensible and in
every way desirable location to a point
east of the mountains, ut the instance
of a few land spectators and their
paid hirelings. But their mercenary
and selfish motives, regardless of the
public good or the public interests, are
squirting them to herculanean efforts
and the free and corrupt use of large
sums of money to accomplish their
purpose, and it therefore behooves the
friends of Olympia, at home and every
where throughout the State, to be
thoroughly awake to the situation and
active in the work OF defeating these
inscriptions and designing men.

must have their attention called TO
