Settlers
Coming into the splendid State of WASH
ington should not fail to To-
cate in
OILY NJ PA,
Thufston County.

It has superior advantages over all other
points on Puget Sound.
It is the capital Of the state and has finer
location than any city in the state.
The immense water of theDes Chutes river
makes it a desirable place for manu-
factories
Olympia is at the head Of navigation on
Puget Sound.
Il has the Northern Pacific and the Port
Townsend Southern railroad running
through it and the Union Pacific in
course Of construction.
It's connected with all points Of the state
and country by rail and steamer
lines.
It has fine agricultural, fruit timber and
mineral country back Of it.
There is no reason to doubt that
Olympia in the next ten years will
become city Of $4,000 population.
She may not become a great. sea-
port and commercial center like
Seattle or Tacoma, but she will be
second to them alone.
Perhaps no more satisfactory
evidence can be found than the
opinions of men of known ability
and wide experience, and certainly
none are keener nor more observant
than the managers Of the great
RAILROAD system. The fact that 50
many lines have made Olympia
their objective, shows clearly the
confidence these able men have in
her future growth.
General Sherman in brief
speech to the citizens here many
years ago said that Olympia was a
natural, strategic and commercial
point, and that one of the greatest
cities on the Sound would one day
grow up here.
Olympia, too, is a city Of homes,
Of schools, of gardens, and fruit
trees and shade trees, a city which
draws visitors, and attracts families
of means and refinement, families
with children to school and bring
up, as a place of residence.
The capital Of such state as
Washington would alone suffice to
build up no mean city. The per-
manent residence of the governor
and state officers, the seat Of the
United States land and surveyor
generals offices, the place Of meet
ing Of the Legislature, the supreme
court, and many state boards, must
attract considerable population.
Come to Olympia if you want to
make a permanent residence in a
splendidly growing state and city.

An Indian Murder Of IS years Ago

A petition has just been filed in the
Brown county court at Aberdeen, S.
D., asking for the appointment OF an
administrator in the matter OF the
estate OF Joseph 8. johnson, deceased.
The hearing on such petition will be
had on April 80.
johnson was the first white settler
in Brown county. He located about
two miles southeast of Columbia and
experienced considerable trouble with
the famous old chief, Drifting Goose,
who with his band of hostile warriors
was determined not to allow any white
man in that section OF country. In
the fall OF 1879 johnson was brutally
murdered by Brave Bear, a rramp
Indian, between Fort Sully and the
agency at standing Rock. He had on
his person nearly 1900 IN money,
which was taken by the Indian assas.

watch, gold rings, etc. The body was

who live in the vicinity say that in
winter a vapor issues from it's mouth
and mealts the snow near the en-
trance. The walls OF the cave are OF
solid limestone, without crack or crew

The surface OF the bluff was explor-
