last IN the b4th year OF her age. Ihe
Woman's Relief Corps, of which she was
a member, took charge Of the funeral GER
emonies, which were held in the Chris
tian church on Snnday-many friends of
the deceased attending and following the
remains to the grave. Mrs. Chase's
brother, Mr.. b. F. Davis, Of Ellensburg,
Familiarity known as Pap Davis by all
railroad men, he having been an engineer
of the Northern Pa life for many years,
and young grandson are the mourning
relatives left. As Mrs. Chase was pos
sessed OF considerable property and a
policy of insurance upon her life, Mr..
Davis was made executor of her will in
which she bequeaths all goods and chat
tells, real aud personal, TO her grandson
upon his coming of age, and in the event
OF his death prior to that time the prop
erty reverts to Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. q. NJ. Mckinney is authority for
the statement that plenty of money will
yet be forthcoming in the way OF loans
upon farm lands. Mr.. d. A. Middleton,
Of New York and Mr.. John S. Miller, of
Chicago, are two very wealthy gentlemen
who have written Mr.. Mckinney that
they are coming to Yakima in the next
three or four months 10 the endesvor to
place a considerable quantity of cash in
Yakima securities. These gentlemen are
not in any way associated together and
are not, perhaps, even acquainted; but
each is seeking place for his money,
and each turns intuitively to the great
Yakima valley. Mr.. Mckinney says he
is IN communication with still other capt.
talists, on the same idea; and that they,
also, will in all probability make this
section visit with view to loaning
money.
President Parker and Secretary Reed
returned on Friday last from Olympia,
where they had gone to see what could be
done for the state fair interests. They
report that Yakima is sure to get bill
for relief OF the aid association, which
means that the full amount of indebted
ness will be provided for; the bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the next two years will
also probably pass. We may not get an
appropriation for building to be- used
for exhibition purposes, however; but the
county will be satisfied with the goods
the gods send and rustic along with its
usual enterprise and ingenuity in the way
of making succeeding state fair meetings
everything to be desired.
l.. b. Bunnell, of the Bunnell & Emo
Investment company, is in the city from
Helena, Mont. Mr.. Bunnell's company
has loaned many thousands of dollars up
on Yakima realty securities, and his bust
ness here at this time is to look over the
properties already mertgaged to him and
those about to be, in addition to gathering
such information as may be valuable
in placing more loans in this Sec
ton. He will be in Yakima for two or
three weeks, and he expressed himself as
decidedly pleased with the general APP
pearance of prosperity all over the valley.
A case in point, regarding the large
field covered by THE HERALD's circulation,
is the experience of Mrs. Geo. S. Vance.
She this week received letter from
lady in Indiana, an utter stranger to
her, who stated that the account of her
Penny Party" published in this paper
some months ago, had been lost by the
writer, and she wished for information
from Mrs. Vance regarding the conduct
OF such an entertainment. The HERALD
reaches readers all over the union, and
goes into Canada and Great Britain.
The Demorest Medal Contest on Satur-
day evening last at the Christian church
was financial success, 500 being receiv
ed Notwithstanding the low price of ad-
mission. The medal was won by Miss
Eva Cartwright, of Yakima City, her
subject being "Young Americas War
Cry" The exercises other than those of
the contest were very good, the large aud
fence enjoying them thoroughly. The
next contestants will be class of boys.

The local Masons were unable immedi-
ately to secure Gen. o. o. Howard for .
lecture upon the early Indian wars in this
valley. The general cannot come until
the fall OF 1895, as his engagements are
very numerous. At that time, however,
he states that he will be very glad of an
opportunity to once more meet his old
friends in Yakima county.
Much of life's misery is due to the in
digestion ior who can be happy with a
pain in his stomach? As corrective
and strengthened OF the alinentary Or
gan's, Ayers Pills are invaluable, their
use being always attended with marked
benefit.
The Odd Fellows had a most enjoyable
time on Tuesday night last, at a social
given by them in their hall in honor OF
the Rebeccas. Fully 100 of the gentle
