Died.

At Olympia, Washington Territory,
January 3Oth, at 8 o'clock A. NJ, Mrs.
Rowena Wells Ostrander, mother of
MIS-. Capt. VIM. McMicken, Levi
Wells Ostrander, and Mrs. Ellen C.
Willard, of Butler, Mo.
Deceased was born at Ellington,
CT, ON the 9th of March, 1902, being
nearly 81 years old at the time of her
death. In her early life her father,
Col. Asa Wells, removed to Onondaga
county, New York, where she was
married to Mr.. Jared F. Ostrander,
July 23d, 1884, who died at Mantor-
vile, Minnesota, Nov. 10th, 1874, at
which place her remains will be laid
beside those of her husband, this be-
ing her request.
Mrs. Ostrander was woman of
much more than ordinary intellectual
ability. Her fanltless memory always
enabling her to recall names, dates
and circumstances of detail incident
to her life and that of her friends, with
astonishing correctness and most in
teresting expression. Being con-
slant and careful reader, her mind
was II storehouse Of literary and his
tOrical treasure, from which she could
always quote at will.
In May 1884, she came to Olympia,
at the request of her children, to spend
her remaining days with them. Near
ly two years ago she was stricken
with paralysis OF the right side, render
ing her almost helpless, and from
which she gradually sank until her
death. For the last six months she
has been at ST. Peters Hospital under
the kind and constant care OF those
Angels of Mercy, who devote their
lives to the alienation of pain and
sorrow in others, and where she has
had better nursing and attention than
could be obtained elsewhere. As u
true and consistent Christian, none
who knew Mrs Ostrander ever doubt
ed her sincerity. Her whole life was
a true reflection of that faith which
endureth forever, the full possession of
which Was manifest in all her daily
walks through life. and even unto her
death. As mother none was more
efectiOnate, kind, considerate, or in
dulgent, to her children
" A guardian angel DER their lives presiding,
Doubling their pleasure aud their cares devid-
Ing"
The tender love of her children was
only q natural tribute to kind moth
er, but besides this, she enjoyed fully
the love and esteem of all who knew
her.
The funeral services as she desired,
will be held at her old home in Mime
sofa, where her remains were taken
for interment. w.

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. I. 1859.
Olympia's Prospects.

There is no disputing the fact that
Olympia, and in fact the whole county
OF Thurston, has entered upon sea
SOD Of prosperity that gives every
evidence OF being progressive ard
permanent. The confidence OF our
people, which suffered such a severe
blow many years ago through the bad
faith OF the railroad company, has at
last been in great measure restored.
Even those conservative individuals,
sometimes called" moss-backs," whose
only mission seems to be to oppose
progress at every point, have been
compelled to admit that the incoming
tide is stronger than they can resist,
and that they must yield to its force
or be speedily overwhelmed.
The results OF steady, persistent,
well-directed effort, in starting the
ball in motion, is apparent on every
side. A few of citizens, who may now
be regarded in the light of public
benefactors, resolved to break the
lethargic spell which fell upon the
town when her terminal aspirations
came to such a sudden and disastrous
close. They invested their means in
permanent improvements calculated
to show, at least their faith in our
natural resources and the capability
for development. The cynical smile,
the satirical Jest, which greeted the
first of their attempts, gave place to a
look of dismay, as one after another
of our people shook off the spell, and
girded up his loins for action. Soon
it became apparent that Olympia was
prospering, slowly it is true; but a
steady and permanent progress was
noted. Then these obstructionists,
with amazing complaisance, decla red
"Oh, we'll; it is only our own people.
There is nobody outside taking any
interest in the matter. It's like swap
ping jack.knives, you know; nobody
makes anything by the transaction"
But the work went on, brick buildings
were erected; the streets were graded
deep water was secured for shipping,
and all these expenses, public and
private, were cheerfully met by our
enterprising citizens, who felt that
there was no true reason why Olympia
should remain in the background.
Then = outsiders began to investi-
gate. They saw business in commu-
nifty that could help itself. The more
they examined the natural advantages
presented by the best harbor on Puget
Sound, the finest water-power in
Western Washington, the vast area OF
fertile land south and west that, with
a proper degree of energy may be
made tributary to our city, the more
they become impressed with the belief
that this was the precise spot where
the largest returns could be made
from investment.
The beginning Of the result is be-
fore YOU. Small fortunes have been
made the past month by quite q
number who up to that time had been
literally property poor" But it is
a. nothing to what will soon come.
Thurston county will this summer be
the literally Chosen Land for invest
ment. Mark the prediction!

CHICAGO, September 16. - Bishop
Fowler, of San Francisco, who has just
completed trip around the globe, this
morning expressed the belief that ter
years hence America would pay for its
anti. Chinese laws with the blood of hel
citizens. Bishop Fowler was at one time
pastor of the Centenary Methodist
church of this city. He occupied the en-.
tire session of the Methodist ministers
today in speaking about his observations
of missionary work abroad.
Speaking of the law prohibiting the
Chinese from coming to America, the
Bishop said it was the most dastardly
and disgusting thing America ever did,
and he said, with slow emphasis that
was very impressive, that it will be paid
for some day by the blood of some oi
American should blush for shame when
he thought of the violation of the treaty
with China whereby Cinnamon were re-
fused permission to land on our shores.

New YORK, September 6..-The trial
of Henry s. Ives was resumed this
morning. E. w. Woodruff, confidential
Secretary to Ives, and later Secretary Of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
road, was called to the witness stand.
Witness gave history Of his relations
with Ives and Stayner. After they SO.
cured control of the c., II. and d. road,
| the firm proceeded at once to make an
over-issue Of stock in the names of the
clerks in Ives and Stayner's Office. An
over.issu of 1000 shares of face value
of 500, 900 was made by witness on Ives
order and delivered to Zimmerman to
cover Ives indebtedness to thinner
man. On the same day, previous to
August IL, 1887, witness by Ives order
took the stock ledger to Ives house in
Brooklyn and burned it in the furnace to
conceal the over-issue of stock. Witness,
however, kept record Of all these trans
actions in a small book. Ives knew
about this and sometimes made entries
in it himself. This book was taken to
Newark, N. j., and kept till March last.
The book was produced in court and
identified and record of the fraudulent
stock issue was read.
After recess, witness stated that 1900
shares were subsequently handed him by
Ives for the purpose of cancelling old
stock, which he did. Twenty of these
certificates were identified by Woodruff.
These were not recorded, because there
was less stock available for cancellation
than would suffice to counter balance the
over.issue. Woodruff told how he and
Ives one night copied off with the aid OF
a stock transfer book the names, and
created new set of certificates, purport-
ing to be the ones remaining out, and
showed them to Mr.. Burns, bank off,
cial, as outstanding certificates.
