Drowned IN THE NATCnEEz.-On SUN

ased Is years, was drowned in the
Natcheez. Mr.. Enydahl lives about el4h-
teen miles up the valley and'the reports
received Of the sad affair are Of q verv

states that after dinner on SUNDAY Mrs.
EngIahl asked her dau- liter to wash the
dishes, remarking that she would yet the
supper. The Dishes washed Miss Eng

tin Dayern, who lived up the Ahtanum
valley, died very suddenly and under cir
cumstances somewhat peculiar. 1t was
said that his death was the result Of u
spree held in the old town in company of
Patrl..k Doyle. Doyle told the story that
Davern being incapable Of taking care Of
himself he loaded him into his wagon
and took lin to his (Doyle's) house,
where he left him in the wa -on all night.
In tile morning Dav'rn was dead. One
Of the singular pciLts in this ease Is that
DOyle's wagon passed Davern's house and
yet Doyle made no effort to let his neigh
bnr home. Re, emily the officers have
learned something new regarding thu
case which they propose to invest ate,

learned som, thing tho, for he has lett

opinion has been general that the perna-

here. The situation is central; by meas

from east to west, and by census il j.
found to be almost, Il not quite, the cen

much nearer the center Of population,
thus making the location fair one for all

Il is obvious that while the argument
founded on central location is a strong
one, the top. graphical position Of North
Yakima furnishes stronger reasons for
the establishment Of the capital here.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER OF
RALEIGH, N. c.
w. L. KIvETT, Sec'y
From the National Economist.


Under the able editorial manage
ment of L. L. Polk, President of the
Interstate Association of Farmers,
and First Vice President of the
National Farmers Alliance and Co.
Operative Union of America, The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER was started July
10th, 1886. It's conception, it's being
and it's life is founded on the one cen,
trail and controlling idea and conviction
that organized cooperation among the
farmers and other industrial classes is
now the only thing that can save
them from wreck and ruin. Accord
ingly the paper from its first issue be-
gan the work of organizing Farmers
Clubs-had over 400 in the State
when it took hold of the Alliance at
the request of the President of that
organization. No paper in this
country has a stronger hold on the
confidence and esteem of it's readers.
The paid-up subscription list is now
nearly $1,000. 1t goes to oVer 1900
postofices in North Carolina, and %
States, is the official organ Of the
Alliance in North Carolina and Vir.
ginia.
It's future is most encouraging and
hopeful, with a fine prospect Of
doubling it's subscription list this year.
It's great strength is it's independent,
bold, straightforward bearing. 1t is
not afraid Of man or men. 1t has
opinions and expresses them fearlessly.
The leading men of the State are sup
porting it. A letter from n of the
leading public men, recently, said: al
am going to do and say what can
for your paper. 1t IS my hope for the
riight in this country and our State.
Lay on and rest assured of the sup
port of the honest masses"
The people say it has done more 70
arouse the masses to a OF their
condition and of their duty, and is 40
ing more to educate them along this
line, than all the papers or other agen'
cies in the State.
It's editor has refused to hold any
