The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VI NO. 39 HEATON GOES FREE. The Attempt to Blackmail Him Falls Flat—The Girl Sees Her Folly. As was predicted by his friends the charge of rape against ex-County Commissioner Heaton by Cora Farmer, alias Cora Johnson, was another effort upon the part of his enemies, made while in office, to disgrace him and his family. Miss Farmer, alias Mrs. Johnson, as soon as she saw she had been misled by Heaton's enemies and had sworn falsely, went to the prosecuting attorney by a friend and asked that the case be dropped, which was done, he seeing at once that the case should never have been instituted; and now Miss Farmer's Monohon friends are weeping. The arrest of Heaton should never have been made. The justice of the peace, who issued the warrant was not justified in issuing it upon the story told him by the complaining witness. Had she gone to any old woman with the same story as told to the justice, she would have been laughed at, and told that that was not rape, but it appears that the justice had his heart biased against Heaton by meddlesome persons, who were interested in Miss Farmer, not out of any love for her, but for what it was hoped could be extorted from Heaton. Even the justice took an unwarranted interest in the matter in so far that he accompanied an officer to Heaton's home at the unseemly hour of 2 o'clock Sunday morning to arrest him. It is said upon good authority that, the justice had the case set for a hearing before Heaton was even under arrest, and that Miss Farmer and her so called friends were at the justice's house awaiting the return of the officer with Heaton. Is it possible that so big a fool of a justice can be found in King county? The justice went so far as to refuse to give Heaton a preliminary hearing. What a farce, O, where has justice hidden himself? Be it understood that the prosecuting attorney was not consulted before the warrant was issued. Had he been consulted, Heaton would never have been arrested, for the prosecuting attorney is too good a lawyer not to have seen that the charge was frivolous and could not be sustained. It is a pity that Heaton has no remedy at law other than by impeachment against the justice. As to those who urged the woman in this nefarious matter, but they are too contemptible to give a consideration. The whole proceeding has made Heaton friends, while it has lowered all those who aided and abetted the woman, in the estimation of decent people. She, poor woman, perjured herself through the instigation of Heaton's enemies, and must now suffer alone. Let this persecution of Heaton cease. Notes of the Northwest. Everett has just completed a $6,000 Catholic school building. Spokane's small-pox scare is about over and business has resumed a normal condition, much to the satisfaction of the merchants. Major B. H. Smythe, a well known Snohomish county newspaper man, has assumed control of the mechanical department of the Marysville Globe. Pacific county has the largest cedar tree in the state. It is 56 feet in circumference and 18 feet in diameter. It is 75 feet to the first limb. Major J. M. Anderson thinks the north half of the Colville Indian reservation will be thrown open to settlement within the next 60 days. Douglass county will hold its Republican county convention to elect delegates to the state convention, which in turn will elect delegates to the National convention, March 24th. The city marshal of North Yakima thinks his duties assiduous enough to ask for an increase in salary. To that end the city council has been asked to allow him $75 a month instead of $60. The Ellensburg Capital, a stalwart Republican paper, is of the opinion that the Republican party will be defeated in this state, if the Foster grazing bill becomes a law. The Bellingham Bay Improvement Company's mill has just begun operation. It starts out with 150 men on its pay roll, with salaries aggregating $11,000. REPUBLICAN CANIDATES FOR MUNICIPAL OFFICES Ere another issue of THE REPUBLICAN greets its readers the first political battle of 1900 in this or any other state will have been fought, and the results known to the world. This is a Republican year, politically speaking, and nothing but Republicans should be elected in the city, which is to cast the initial vote of the year 1900. THE REPUBLICAN hopes that all Republicans will forget their past differences and go to the polls next Tuesday and vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom, just as they have in years past. The eyes of the entire state yea, the entire country, are on Seattle, waiting and watching to see what it is going to do politically, and it should lead the way and set the pace of Republicanism for all other cities, counties and commun- --- Scott Benjamin. --- Capt. John Taylor. ities in this state, as well as this nation. Each of the men nominated on the Republican ticket are well known to the public, and, it must be said to their credit, very popular men. Mr. Humes was nominated in the Republican convention by an overwhelming majority despite the bitter factional fight made against him. A large majority of the Republican voters seem to have implicit confidence in him, and, since he is the party nominee, Republicans should vote for him. In voting for Tom Humes you are not voting for the man, but for the party, which is bigger by far than any one man or number of men in the party. "My party first and the individual next," should be the watchword of every true-blue Republican. City Comptroller Paul. It is with a feeling of much personal gratification that this paper recommends the name of Frank H. Paul to the voters of this city, for their suffrage next Tuesday, for city comproller. For party fidelity and undying loyalty to his friends Mr. Paul ranks at the head of the list and he therefore, merits the support of all partisans in the city of Seattle. Eminently fitted to fill the office, which he seeks at your hands, it would be a credit to the city to elect so able a young man to the position. "Frank", as he is commonly known among the boys, is as "white" a man as ever ```markdown ``` trod shoe leather, and, it is here predicted, that he will run quite a few hundred votes ahead of his ticket. City Treasurer Rathbun. City Treasurer Rathbun. Men, like trees, are known by the fruit they bear, that is to say, men who are successful in one position are generally successful when promoted to higher and more responsible positions. Samuel E. Rathbun has been a deputy in the city treasurer's office under the last two administrations and so successful has he been in that position that he had no opposition in the late city convention when nominees were called for the office of city treasurer. From this it will be seen that the public seemed determined to reward one of its servants, who has been faithful over a few things, by making him keeper of many things. He has --- min. no comments on his opponent and there is no call for him to have, as the public quite understands him and his good works, and will give him a rousing majority next Tuesday. Corporation Counsel Humphrey. No one can deny the fact but that Will E. Humphrey has made an excellent corporation counsel during the two years he has occupied the office. Regardless of what the feeling might have been against him two years ago, he is now a popular candidate, and has his record to fall back on to make him so. He has won the city more cases and at a less expense than any previous official in the same capacity, and this is said without intent to speak disparagingly of his predecessors. No Republican in Seattle has any good and sufficient reasons to vote for an opposition candidate instead of Mr. Humphrey and this paper does not believe any will. He has made a brilliant official and without fear or favor has conducted the affairs of the office. His party has honored him, he appreciates the fact, and there is no doubt but that he will be an honor to his party. Instead of Humphrey getting cut lets give him a regular Frank Paul vote. If for nothing else he should be elected for the way he pushed the Cedar River proposition. Soon Seattle will be using pure water from Cedar River and Will Humphrey more --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON; FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1900. than any one else is responsible for it. He has earned your loyal support. Councilman-At-Large Parry. For the past three years or more Will H. Parry has been one of the most pains taking and tireless public officials in the city. He is very popular and could have been renominated for city comptroller, had he wanted it, hands down, in fact, he would not have had any opposition, had he asked for the office, but he did not care for it. His party has seen fit to nominate him for councilman at-large and there is no doubt but that he will be elected to the office with a rousing majority. It is said by all that Parry will lead the ticket next Tuesday and thus more than ever popularize himself with the voters of the city. S. F. Rathbun. Will H. Parry. Albert J. Goddard. Captain John Taylor. Captain John Taylor. "The Old Soldiers" have a true and tried representative on the ticket in the person of Captain Taylor for councilman-at-large, who has been repeatedly elected to the council from the Seventh ward, and the city will also have a true and tried public servant if he is elected. He has concipiently done his duty in the past and there is no doubt in the world, but that the voters all over Seattle will do their duty and elect him with the same big vote that they will elect his colleague, Mr. Parry. The best interests of the City of Seattle financially and otherwise have been zealously looked after since Capt. Taylor has been a member of the city council and as this is something of a step upward in the shape of public approval as to what he has done, he should be elected as a reward for his past good services rendered the city. First Ward, James Weir. For years and years James Weir has been proprietor of the New England hotel near Main street and First avenue and he is known throughout the entire Northwest. Mr. Weir knows no one by his color or nationality, but by his good or bad deportment, and one nationality can get accomodations at his house as quickly as another, if he deports himself properly. It does seem that he is an ideal candidate for the city counsel and search as the party would in the First ward it could not have named a more generally acceptable man for the nomination than Mr. Weir. In the past the First ward may have put up some pretty questionable characters for the councilmanship, but it has made no mistake in this nominee, and, if he is elected, that ward will have as able and as gentlemanly a representative in the city council as any other ward in the city. Second Ward, W. H. Vincent. "Say for us that no finer or "whiter" man lives in all Seattle than Mr. Vincent, who has been nominated for city council from the Second ward," came from a chorus of Second warders, in which W. H. White, "Little Bill", and W. H. Morris, "Big Bill", and many other leading Republicans, who are classed as "Wilson Republicans", on being questioned as --- Fr P. A. M. Will to who was W. H. Vincent. Perchance the writer met a number of gentlemen the same day from the same ward, who are pleased to term themselves "anti-Wilson Republican's", and these, too, were unanimous in their praise of Mr. Vincent, all of which quite convinced the writer that he is such a good man that all sides are struggling to claim him as their creature. It would, therefore, appear that he will thus get the united support of the Republicans out there without regard to faction and be an honored member of the next city council. He, too, is a prominent business man of the city and will not leave a stone unturned to forge the best interests of the city to the front. Third Ward, Hiram C. Gill. Councilman Gill is asking for a re-election at the hands of the voters of the Third ward. The opposition press has said much against Mr. Gill from time to time as to his actions in the city council, but regardless of what it has said, he still has the implicit confidence of the Republican voters of the Third ward, for he was renominated three to one over the opposition that appeared against him in the Republican primaries. Mr. Gill's past record as councilman speaks for itself as to whether or not he should be re-elected. If the voters of his ward had confidence enough in him to re-nominate him by an overwhelming --- majority they have confidence enough in him to re-elect him and they will. Its easy to criticise public men, but when it comes to the real milk in the cocoanut, hypothetical opposition melts like snow in June. Col. Alden J. Times can therefore put this in his pipe and smoke it, Hi Gill will be the next councilman from the Third ward, the Times to the contrary notwithstanding. Fourth Ward, J. A. James. Perhaps Mr. James is a "corporation tool", as charges the opposition party, and will sell the best interest of the city to corporations and franchise grabbers, but is it not most remarkable that an overwhelming majority of the voters of the Fourth ward would repeatedly elect such a dangerous man to such a responsible position? Now, there is often a grain of reason --- Frank H. Paul. Will E. Humphrey. Per- nber from ad to Re- were Mr. con- such are their ap- the scans in some anti-Republican arguments offered by the opposition, but there is absolutely none in the world in the argument it offers to the effect that Mr. James is such a venal official as to stand ready to deliver up the city at any time to corporations and franchise grabbers. Mr. James was unanimously renominated, and, so far as the Republican party is concerned, he will be unanimously re-elected for councilman from the Fourth ward next Tuesday. Fifth Ward, Scott Benjamin In presenting the name of Scott Benjamin to the voters of the Fifth ward, for councilman for the next two years, THE REPUBLICAN takes a special pride in so doing. Mr. Benjamin has been a loyal Republican ever since he has been a resident of the ward, which has been for years. He has taken an active interest in Republican matters up there and never felt called upon under any conditions to in any way buck the final decisions of the party in convention assembled. He is one of Seattle's substantial business men and will give the Fifth ward good service in the legislative body of the city government. He was nominated for the position, for which he is now a candidate, over one of the oldest residents in the ward, and who is at present in the city council and who made a splendid record as such. That Mr. Benjamin will receive every Republican vote in the --- PRICE FIVE CENTS Fifth ward goes without saying, and that he will be eminently fair in all of his public dealings as a councilman likewise, goes without saying. This paper predicts that Scott Benjamin will be elected over his opponent by not less than a two to one majority. Sixth Ward, W. V. Rinehart. Mr. Rinehart was nominated by his ward without much opposition, and, it is more than likely that, he will be elected in the same manner. He has been in the city council for the past two years, and, like others mentioned in this connection, his record will speak for itself as to whether or not he should be re-elected. Mr. Rinehart is an "old soldier" and a strong advocate of Mayor Humes, and the Sixth ward being a stronghold of Mr. Humes, it looks as though he will have no trouble in being re-elected. Seventh Ward, Jed G. Blake. Seventh Ward, Jed G. Blake. No man is more popular in business circles than the nominee for the city council from the Seventh ward, and, that ward being made up largely of the leading business men of the city, there is every reason to believe that Mr. Jed G. Blake will be elected by a very large majority vote. The Seventh ward is always safely Republican and the councilman nominee of that ward that is in touch with the Republican party can always be assured of his election when it has the only say about it as is the case with Mr. Blake. Talk to whom you will or may from the Seventh ward and you hear but one expression and that is, "Blake will be elected and deserves to be." Owing to Mr. Blake's extensive business relations with the business men of Seattle, it is very reasonable to suppose that, he would do nothing as a member of the city council that would not be to the very best interest of the city. As councilman he will stand for no party, faction, or click, but for Seattle and her best business interest. His majority will be so overwhelming that his opponent will not remember that he was even a candidate. Eighth Ward, Dr. J. E. Chrichton. Once, twice, three times and now four times Dr. Chrichton will have been re-elected to the city council from the Eighth ward. That he is very popular in that ward is quite plain to be seen, and, that he will be re-elected next Tuesday is quite beyond the per adventure of a doubt. He has from time to time popularized himself with his constituents by the way he has cast his votes on the important measures that have come before the city council, and so popular has he become that he could have any place in the giff of the voters of the City of Seattle if he would but ask for it. The doctor may not suit some people, but he seems to suit well the voters of the Eighth ward, and after all, who but them need he try to please that he may continuously hold a seat in the city council? Ninth Ward, A. J. Goddard There was never a disaster without at least some consoling, features, and the late convention, so far as this paper is concerned, was not totally without some redeeming qualities and one of them was the nomination of Hon. A. J. Goddard of the Ninth ward for councilman. Owing to the great amount of party bickering among the conglomerated opposition there is but little doubt that Mr. Goddard will be elected to the place for which he now stands nominated, and, when elected, he will make that ward the best official in that capacity that it has ever had. Mr. Goddard has always been deservedly popular in that section of the city, and, before he shall have finished the term of office to which he will be elected next Tuesday, he will be deservedly popular throughout the city. He had no opponent in the convention for the nomination, which shows very conclusively that he has the Republican push with him. Homer M. Hill. Being a nominee of the Union party, this paper has no political words of praise for him, but it makes no hesitancy in saying that, if there be one gentleman on that ticket, it is Homer M. Hill. He merits the vote of every member of the parties that have nominated him for city comptroller. Business relations with Mr. Hill compel us to say he has proved himself a gentleman of the finest stripe in every respect, so far as our relations are concerned. Party ties frequently separate the very best of friends and, while the editor of this paper will work with all his might and main to elect Mr. Hill's opponent, Frank H. Paul, and would cast a thousand votes for him, (Paul), had he them to cast, he wishes it distinctly understood that he pronounces Homer M. Hill a most splendid type of man. --- The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 612 THIRD AVENUE H. R.

Unlike Banquo's ghost John Collins prospects for being mayor of Seattle will down. As a diplomat Marcum seems to have been a sad failure, nevertheless he succeeded in getting his name in the papers and that was much more than it was thought that he could do. "Great men" are generally what their deputies have them be. Mr. A or B always rises or falls in the public mind as a super human, according to the efficiency of the airs he surrounds himself with. Gen. Cronje does not spell his name "Washington", with, "father of his country," as a definition thereof, but he is nevertheless a world's hero, whose praises for bravery will be sung for generations to come. "Delusion and a snare which causest untold complications and temporary annoyances" can be safely put down as representing all opposition parties in the United States at present to the Republican party. Mr. Frick and Mr. Carnigie, formerly financial bed fellows, are now struggling hard to get loose from each other, though they were at one time likeunto Damon and Pythias. The best of friends often fall out and fuss. The United States' senate financial bill has been agreed upon by the conference committees of both the Senate and House, with a few minor changes, which will be supported by the Republicans in Congress. This insures its immediate passage. Uncle Sam's Court of Claims says Dewey did not fight a superior naval force at Manila, and, for that reason, he is entitled to but $9750 for the destruction of the Spanish fleet. Even that was a pretty good Sunday collection, Mistah Dewey. If there is any man in the city of Seattle that can and will cheerfully bow to the political inevitable that man is Harry Gordon, and, when the Argus states to the contrary, it does so for the express purpose of following out its well known tactics of making a living, by lying and blackmailing. Frank G. Carpenter, the well known newspaper correspondent, gives a glowing account of Japan's prosperity, which, he declares is from 100 to 200 per cent greater now than it was ten years ago. To the old world, the isles of the sea and whereever humanity is to be found, it thus appears has McKinleism spread. Pauncefote's daughter is married." is a brief bit of weekly news from Washington City that has caused much newspaper wrag chewing. Suppose she is married in what way is the "gang" interested? We do not believe any of them were figuring on getting an opportunity to marry her. An official may take regular contributions from gamblers and robbers and not show them any official consideration, but THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN does not believe it and no one else with common sense will do so. It is natural to cater to those from whom you get your daily bread. Appleton's Popular Science Monthly for March is out and treats the following subjects: The Transportation of a Race; Modern City Roadway (illustrated); Typical Criminals (illustrated); Salamanders and Salamander Cats (illustrated); A Survival of Medi- aeval Cruelty; Ribbon Lighting; Cross Education; The Morbid Sense of Injury; Early Experiments in Air Flight; Sketch of Edward Orton and other readable odds and ends. Before going into a political scrap a splendid principal to adopt is, find your Moses before starting in and then stand by your guns win or loose. Jim Ham Lewis failed to land the Philippine political plum, though he felt confident of success when he left this city. Ah, there, Jim! "The best laid plans of mice and men, often gan-a-gley." Mr. Lewis, however, did the manly by asking the president to consider the name of some other Pacific Coast luminary in his stead. The editor of the White River Journal is getting quite a few editorial knocks here of late from the exchange table, to which he modestly but curtly replies. Most of the "gang," Brer. Pratt, knows you are a very brilliant writer and quite able to hold your own, and having a paper of your own they feel no hesitancy in pouncing on to you for the sole sake to get you to strike back. Is it not true, Mr. Washington Standard, that Democratic newspapers follow the principals laid down by the party leaders the same as do Republican newspapers? What on earth is the use of having, political leaders if you do not have confidence enough in them to follow out what they think best for the organization? What fools some darn Democrat are any The press "gang" of the Northwest and especially of Oregon, will be surprised to learn that Brer. George A. Sanford who, for some years published a weekly paper at Pine Hill, Oregon, has returned to Hill City, Kansas, his former home, and is half owner of the Peoples Reveille of that city. Mr. Sanford was not only known to the Oregon "gang," but was likewise known to the Washington "gang," and the entire Northwest "gang" is sorry to loose him from the "gang", but since George has returned to "his wife's folks" it is fair to presume that he will no more need a patent inside "gang" to withstand the outside "gang" CAPT. JOHN WATERMAN Among the hundreds of revolutionary patriots buried at Valley Forge during the encampment of Washington's army during the terrible winter of 1777 and 1778 only one grave is marked and that the grave of Captain John Waterman, the Rhode Island patriot Waterman's grave is on an eminence several hundred yards back from the Schuylkill river, on the farm of I. Heston Todd, and about equidistant between Valley Forge village and Port Kennedy. It is a picturesque spot, overlooking the Valley of the Schuylkill on the north and the beautiful Chester Valley on the south. It is near where the log huts once stood, and in one of which Waterman is supposed to have died. Rhode Island's Memorial. About three years ago and soon after Waterman's grave was located the Governor of Rhode Island and a number of prominent members of the Rhode Island Historical Society visited Valley Forge and completed arrangements for the erection of a proper memorial to Waterman. The matter was brought before the Legislature of that state and $10,000 was appropriated to erect a granite monument over the grave. The shaft was prepared in Rhode Island and sent to Valley Forge and placed over the grave, a number of prominent officials of the state being present at the time. The monument is a plain shaft of Rhode Island granite, bearing a simple inscription carved thereon, as but little data concerning Waterman could be obtained. The shaft stands about seven feet high and is four feet thick at the base and has a rough unpolished finish. Quite recently a strong wire covering was placed over the grave and monument by patriotic Rhode Islanders to keep the relic hunters from desecrating the stones, as they had begun to break chips from the granite shaft as souvenirs. Heroic Memories. As soon as the weather will permit thirty granite makers will be erected at the different places of historic interest at Valley Forge, the surveys for the work having just been completed by Colonel Nathaniel M. Ellis, the veteran engineer of Phoenixville. These markers are all on the ground, and when planted will be about seven feet high. Valley Forge Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Norristown are about to undertake the repairing of Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge, and they will give an operatic entertainment in a short time to aid them in raising funds for that purpose. The headquarters are in bad repair and their efforts are both timely and patriotic and should be commended. THEY DO SAY That J. Edward Hawkins is among the push and is pushing his friends to the front in good shape. That he seems to have outgeneralled D. Walter Griffin even among the latter's best friends. That Dr. Samuel Burdett is expecting, one of these long summer days, to sit among the angels when Humes gets to be God Almighty. That Fred H. Peterson has finally reached the goal of his ambition in the chairmanship of the city central committee. That Fatty Humphries has jumped into the political band wagon and waives his hand back to his old friends, "A fare you well, brother Watkins, ah." That the Republican city central committee passed a resolution to the effect that it would prosecute any one soliciting funds for that body without a written order from it, That, that was a very unkind cut to that "genterman" who always makes a business of that during all campaigns, but he hopes that little Tommy will whack up with him. That Cape Nome news is getting interesting these days, so much so that, it begins to look as though there will be a rush to the North this year, likeunto that which went to Dawson in 1897. That the health report of Seattle beats that of any other city on the Pacific Coast for lack of sickness and deaths. In everything Seattle leads the leading city. That Dr. Titus has jumped the "combination" because the combination preferred to be run by some one else besides Dr. Titus. The doctor evidently was not so badly stuck on morality as he previously thought he was. That chain gangs are disgraces to public communities and yet, it seems there is nothing else to do but to have them for the accommodation of the hobo element. That Gene Way is the political hoodoo of the Fusion party, and that he has made his hoodoo worse by putting Sam Calderhead as chairman of his central committee. That Messrs. Burwell and Blaine are of the opinion that not less than 2,000 straight Republican votes will go to the opposition in the present municipal contest. That T. S. Lippy has abounding faith in Seattle realty and he is getting on the outside of all he can pick up at a snap. His investments will all double in value in less than a year. That John W. Gibson is buying more real estate than any other Afro-American in Seattle, and does not pose as a part of the "400" either. One day he will turn up worth a half a million. That Slippery Dick Winsor has discovered that there are others equally as slippery in politics as himself, as they managed to slip him clean off the ticket without him even knowing that it was being done. That Judge J. E. Risedorph is getting restless out of editorial harness and may be at the "tripod" at an early date, though he may not know at this writing where the tripod is located. That, if you want the criminals punished in Seattle, Judge Austin's court stands ready to slap the screws to them at any time. The Considines nor the Clancies have no strings on him. That the gamblers and cut throats steal from the unsuspecting visitors to the city and then officers of the law steal like the very devil from the gamblers. Steal, steal, steal, seems to be the watch word. That George U. Piper still draws down a monthly allowance from the gamblers of this city and with that as a basis, if he can only continue it, he proposes to start another newspaper in Seattle. That when Steadman wants an office again he should employ a manager, as he makes a poor out managing his own campaign. He should have traded more and taken less for granted. That if Spokane has increased 2000 persons within the past year, you can bet Seattle has increased 10,000, for to all Eastern people, the only city on the map of Washington is Seattle. That A. P. Sawyer wishes it distinctly understood that he wants THE REPUBLICAN every Saturday morning. Not so much for the news therein as because he has ordered it. That Comptroller Parry was able to be at his office last Monday after a three weeks severe illness. Between politicians and the lagripe he has had a pretty hard time of it. That the Eighth ward people will fight to the bitter end any attempt on the part of the Kinnears to put a saloon in Kinnear park, regardless of the political promise that was made to a saloon man. Are you buying a home? If so, dont until you have an abstract made by Osborne Tremper & Co., Inc., 114 Cherry Street whose business has been established since 1883. They are careful and prompt. BUY STOCK AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE The Stock Exchange, 1020 First Avenue, is operated for the purpose of bringing the buyer and seller in direct touch with each other, and also to give people of small means an opportunity to purchase stocks at bottom prices. In order to do this the quantities offered on the Board are reduced as prices advance, making it possible for any person wishing to invest $5 to bid as freely as if he had a larger sum. Notice the schedule of Board lots for different values and you will see that the man with $5 can stand shoulder to shoulder with the banker or broker and invest his small earnings to the best possible advantage. TO MINE OWNERS: The Stock Exchange plan protects the miner owner, inasmuch as his stock is offered to the public at the lowest price which he will name for it, and when sales are made he gets the full value of his stock, less a small clearance fee, which amounts to but a trifle, instead of paying out from one-third to one-half of the value to a third party for the privilege of selling it on the streets. This is beneficial to the buyer, because he buys at first cost, and to the property, because the property gets the benefit of the full value of the stock, and to the mine owner and buyer, because of the advantage accruing to the property. Such an opportunity as this for buyers and sellers to meet on equal ground has never before been offered to the Seattle public, and it is meeting the approval of thinking people. In order to give all parties interested a chance to avail themselves of this opportunity, the management has decided to hold three daily sessions—to-wit: from $11:00 to 12:00 a. m., and from 3:00 to 4:00 and 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. The morning session should accommodate the business men, the afternoon session should accommodate the ladies, and the evening session will give the workingmen a chance, thereby giving everybody an opportunity to attend to his own dealings in his own way. BIDDING ON THE EXCHANGE IS FREE TO EVERYBODY. There has never been a better time to purchase reliable stock at a fractional part of their value than the present time. All mining experts are agreed that the mining districts tributary to Seattle—viz: Index, Silverton, Mount Baker, Cle Elum, Miller River, and other districts—are extremely rich in the precious metals, but as mining in these districts is as yet in its infancy, there are many fortunes awaiting men who have the foresight and judgment to invest a small sum in the low-priced but promising stocks now being offered in this market, and it is safe to predict that many men who are now earning their bread by the sweat of their brow will in the near future become known as MONEY KINGS, as was the case in California and Colorado in the early days, and is the case in Spokane today. Our Strattons, Clarks, McLeans and others of that class are yet to spring up from the mineral wealth which abounds in the state of Washington, and no one is able to tell as yet who they may be, but one thing is certain—that no one will reap the benefits unless he has a connecting link with the property, and there is no better way to obtain that link than to secure shares of stocks in legitimate properties while they are within your easy reach; so my advice to my friends and patrons is to keep closely in touch with the different mining stocks offered on the market, and when you are convinced that the stocks represent legitimate properties, and are being operated by reliable and trustworthy managers, INVEST YOUR SPARE CASH IN SUCH STOCKS. Always insist upon having a fair statement of facts about the property and the management, and then use your own judgment as to the value of the stocks. The Exchange will always give to its patrons all the information at hand, but the management will not undertake to pass upon the value of stocks except as the values are expressed by sales upon the board. In order that all parties may know the true condition of the market there will be no private sales of stocks made by the Exchange; in other words, no sales will be made except at regular sessions, and on the Board, and in this way everybody will know what everybody else pays for stocks, so there can be no mistakes as to the real market value. The public is cordially invited to attend our sessions, whether they deal or not. All are welcome. ANTHONY CORCORAN, Manager Stock Exchange AN OPPORTUNITY. NEW YEAR brings new OPPORTUNITIES to all men imbued with pluck, push and energy. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is ever on the alert for the very best things in the newspaper line to give to its readers. Aside from giving you the VERY BEST WEEKLY paper published in the Northwest, which contians, each week of the year, more general information about the state of Washington than any other weekly publication, not connected with a daily published within her gates; which each week discusses the political situation in a most fair and IMPARTIAL manner. Which champions the cause of the down-trodden, whether such be black or white. Jew or Gentile. Which advocates the right of women to exercise the same functions in the conduit of this government as the men, also advocating that the women of this land possess the same mental capacity as the men. In connection with this paper, which has so many admirable features for the next three months we propose to give the readers hereof an opportunity to get hold of other reading matter on more extensive scale than THE REPUBLICAN could possibly furnish. For any person who will send to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, two dollars for one year's subscription IN ADVANCE, we will sen THE REPUBLICAN and also the WEEKLY CHICAGO INTER-OCEAN, the St. Louis TRI-WEEKLY REPUBLIC. There you are. Three of the best weekly papers in the world—THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, the CHICAGO WEEKLY INTER-OCEAN and the TRI-WEEKLY ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC, all for Two Dollars Cash.

Whether it will or not will be seen in less than six months - more. no The indications now are that the Republican ticket in this city will be elected by not less than 1,000 + majority. Seattle is a Republican town under all ordinary circum- stances, and, the Pie-maker, would hate to see ‘it go Democratic this year since this is “presidential year.” There are times and con- ditions that arise in the political arena, which are sufliciently try- ing to make even true blue Repub- jieans break away from their life long political moorings, but the Pie-maker does not believe that the future success of the Republi- ean party of this state should be jeopardized in order to rebuke Some one objectional municipal nominee in Seattle. There is no doubt that, “as goes King so goes the state,” poli ieslly aed ike eae) ape Seattle so goes King.” being the political status of Seattle, it behooves every Republi- an in the city to rally to the “old party” and do as has been done in the past, elect the ticket regardless of the combined opposition. ‘The ticket for the most part is an x- ceptionally good one and since fhere be no cup of sweetness less there be a corresponding. one of bitterness it is but right that the Re- publicans stomach the bad in- order to get to the good. The Republican ticket must be elected. mn “Spokane is unusually dull at present,” said Editor Walker of the Labor Journal of Spokane one day this week as he shook hands twith the Pie-maker, “and it all comes from that blasted blumin Spokesman-Keview. It took a notion to run the board of health ofthat city and because the board ‘would not have it so, it put out the small-pox lie. Spokane has had ‘but very few cases of genuine _small-pox, but when the Review made the howl nee a small- being-an epidemic in Spokane ie neighborhood communities “took itfor granted, inasmuch as it s@ime from 9 Spokane’s leading “paper, and gave Spokane a wide fen which resulted in totally demoralizing trade in the city and especially country trade. Spokane was quarantined from the Idaho mines as well as the Republic and other noted mining communities, and, a8 a result, the city is having as dull financial times now as it ever had during the Cleveland jicy days. It is too bad that: Ge ouncs of the paper can not be made to pay every cent the city has been compelled to loose on ‘account of its _ prevarications. Seattle looks good and flourishing and it makes me feel like I am in town again to pass up and down your thronging thoroughfares.” mo Some time ago Judge J. Z. Moore, of Spokane, announced his candidacy for the governorship of this state subject to the ratifica- tion of the next state Republican convention, and since that time it has been discussed and re-dis- cussed by a great many of the state papers. The Pie-maker has watched this diseussion with an eagerness for the chief reason that a ore hails from the home| of ator Wilson, and who will doubtless be a candidate for the United States senate two years sler the atenicee omar Moore, in case he is nominated at all. Those papers that have com- mented upon his candidacy have done so very gingerly, evidently not knowing exactly where they themselves wore at. If Judge Moore is a friend of John L. Wil- son then the papers opposed to Wilson stand ready to fight Moore’s gubernatorial candidacy to the knife, while, on the other hand, if he has announced his can- didacy in opposition to Wilson’s Judge M. J. Gordon announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election to the supreme court, Jan able and efficient judicial and when he retires he will take with || him the good will of every lawyer who has practiced under him sine '|he has filled one of the chairs o the supreme bench of this state | Regardless of his lofty ermine garb he always meets one and all | with the same pleasant gentleman- ly smile as though he were but the | gommon every day lawyer looking for a $5 fee. Such men wil always succeed regardless in whai business they enter. nooo It is remarkable the degree of fairness the Post-Intelligencer has shown to ‘fom Humes and his friends in the present ‘campaign and yet those fellows are kicking against the “unfairness of the P.- I.” The fact of the matter is the paper has been altogether too fair and they did not have gumption enough to appreciate its real fair- ness. What more can be expected from a hog but a grunt, so grunt, grunt and grunt until you get tired of grunting, and then grunt and grunt again. ooo Strange to say the Kinnearsare out fighting the re-election of Dr. Chrichton trom the Kighth ward. Perhaps the Kinnears think Dr, Chrichton will do something, if re-elected, that will injure the standing of the Paris House and other places in the First ward that return the Kinnears large monthly rentals, or perhaps the Dostor has not contributed as profusely as the Kinnears thought he should have done to the cause of the Lord, to which they are concien- tious devotees, that have prompted them to fight his re-election; or it may be that, the Doctor is oppo- sing the placing of a saloon in Kinnear park which causes the sainted Kinnears to. fight him. ‘The public can not always tell the real trouble with the Kinnears in opposing a candidate, but money matters are pretty near always the real cause for their political griev- ances, moO Report has reached this office that some of the Republican saloon keepers have entered into a combination with — Democratie saloon keepers to vote for Parry and Miller for councilman at large and thereby knife Capt. Taylor. If such betrue then, the Pie- maker rises to say, it is a most damnable and nefarious political plot and he trusts that every good citizen will rally to. the support of Captain Taylor to. counter such a move. ome George U. Piper had himself interviewed in the Spokesman- Reviewa few days ago, which is the dirtiest dish of political hog wash that the Pie-maker has ran onto for some time. In the next issue hereof that interview will receive the proper notification from the Pie-maker. soo There will be four distinct tickets for you to select candidates from next Tuesday atthe polls. In case you do not wish to get mixed up make an “SX” opposite “Republican ticket,” and, there you are. Read the ameudments and then vote for them if you like them, and vote against them, if you do not like, but by all means vote‘one way or the other on them. woo ‘The Republican voters of Che- halis county, in 1898, did their share towards retrieving the state from the effects of the Populistie landslide of ‘96. That effective blow, well followed up, means a complete victory in 1900. The people of Chehalis county, as a whole, have no use, whatever, for Bryanism nor any of the long train of fanatical issues that are appurtenant to the ideas advanced by the windy Nebraskan. The tri-party in this county is sub-divided into three classes: Those who are “dyed in the wool opposers” and will go to any extent to defeat the Republican party; those who honestly think they are “reformers,” but are independent and open to reason. and those who are “reformers” for revenue only. ‘To the first class the mere men- tion of the advantages of Republi- can victory is nothing but flaunting the red shirt before an angry bul. The latter operate the “thought factory” of the Bryan syndicate. ‘To them defeat means ruin. ‘They get the “rake off” from vi tory. They are the office-seekere + those who stand close to the office- oa ee ee Oy the object Jessons before them and, as sure as they do that, Che halis county will go Republican, by asafe majority, next Novem- ber.—Aberdeen Bulletin. ono It is war to the knife and the knife to the hilt between the Re- publican factions of this county. ‘The latest bone of convention is the patronage from the census superviser’s office, Austin Miers of Ellensburg, a supporter of Ank- eny, was recommended for census supervisor for the eastern district of Washington by Senator Foster with the understanding that ©. C. Gose, who helped Mr. Foster out ofa tight place last winter, would be consulted as to all subordinate appointments for Walla Walla county. Mr. Miers visited this city about two weeks ago, and announced that all appointments would be made on recommendation of the county central committee, but as- sured the Allen-Dovell’ leaders that such appointments would have to be satisfactory to Mr. Gose. But for “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain” Mr. Miers can beat the heathen Chinee, if we may judge from the lamentations now going up from the Allen clan. Tt seems that after making this aniouncement Mr. Miers proceed ed to promise appointments on the recommendation of Y. C. Blalock, chairman of the central committee, without calling the committee together. The chairman was as~ sumed to be the whole thing. But worse than this in the eyes of all citizens who believe in honest polities and an incorrupt- ible civil service, these appoint- ments were promised to men who pledged themselves to do their atmost to carry their respective precincts for delegations to the county convention favorable to the selection of Mr. Ankeny as one of the delegates to the national con- vention at Philadelphia, As a furtherindueement to these men to prostitute the public serviee to party and personal ends mach of these men was promised as 1 bonus for success in carrysng his yrecinet for Ankeny, all the money ne needed. One Republican from an im- vortant precinct states that this | proposition was made to him and| seornfully rejected. | ‘An overzealous Ankeny hench- nan openly boasted a few days wo that there was on call a fund Xf $700 to be used in defeating Al Joldman_ in Simms preeinet, and varrying it for Ankeny. ‘The plot goes even fartherthan his, It is commonly believed hat an arrangement has been nadie by: which Democrats of easy onsciences and adjustible prin- iples will assist in packing the Republican primaries in the in- erest of Ankeny. In order to| urther this scheme some reputed | Democrats have already announced heir conversion to Republicanism md others stand ready todo the ame thing for a consideration. There are said to be twenty-five aid workers for Ankeny now couring the county to tickle iteh- ng palms and fill aching voids in ayment for votes for Ankeny lelegations. Mr. Ankeny has been made to hink that his past political fail- res were due to the fact that he vas not lavish enough in his ex~ yenditures, and he has determined hatin order to succeed Senator furner in 1901 he will make one upreme effort if it “busts” one or wo of his banks. Walla Walla county is to have a yractical illustration of Montana wolities. We had just a httle of hat two years ago when through he placing of a little money where (would do.the most good, the \nkeny people named part of the Populist conference committee, and prevented Fusion.

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITIES Weekly Digest Concerning Its Past Week's Doings. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST University to Have a Spring Vacation Many Able Lectures Being Delivered to the Students-The School Doing the Best Work for Years-President Graves' Splendid State Work. The students of the State University are now to have a spring vacation. It will commence on Wednesday and extend to Monday. It is intended more as a breathing spell than a vacation and after it will come the long pull extending to the last of May. At which time school will close for the year. The vacation now is so short that very few of the students intend going home. Many of them will take the opportunity of doing special work in which they are interested. Dr. Colgrove and Dr. Moench will each, as leaders of thought in their respective departments, soon be known as authors. Dr. Colgrove has his work entitled "Memory" with his publishers, Henry Holt & Co. While Dr. Moench has also a work in press to be published in Latin and the title of which will be the Philosophy and Religion of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Both men are well qualified for the work which they have undertaken and no doubt their publications will meet with success and appreciation by the public in general. Dr. Smith, the head of the Economic Science department, is having a severe siege of sickness, on account of which he has been obliged to remain at home for the last two weeks. His hosts of friends both at the university and in Seattle are anxiously awaiting his recovery and hope in a short time to see him again in his respective chair at the university, where he is universally loved and his work appreciated. It is now well known that the University of Oregon has challenged the University of Washington to debate. This news will be made known to the students in a few days, when President Schroder of the Student Assembly will have the matter formally announced to that body. It is fitting that these two institutions, representing, as they do, the flower of the intellectual life of their respective states, should meet in friendly contest. Besides both sides are desirous of having the matter come off in Seattle, and a grand contest may be looked for in the near future upon one of the leading questions of the day. 一 The Everett and Monte Cristo railroad is being rebuilt as far as Silverton. At that point 12,000 tons of ore are ready for shipment. Gray's Harbor output of lumber for the year 1899 amounted to 250,000,000 feet. A three story hotel has been begun in Ballard on the corner of Ballard and 2nd. The bursting of a steam pipe connected with one of the radiators in the High school of Olympia recently caused quite a panic among the scholars, but no harm was done and as soon as the steam was shut off, quiet was restored. 一 Thurston county has lost another of her pioneers in the person of A. J. Burr, who passed away last week. Mr. Burr was 72 years of age and had held a postmastership under President Hayes. He first came to this country in 1858. Mr. Walter Merguson having taken the civil service for a post-office clerkship and standing second on the list out of a roster of 42, has been assigned to duty by Postmaster Stewart. --- Rumor has it that Mr. George Grose can not consult his watch to see what the time is without smiling—there is a lady's picture in the case. ROSLYN METHODISTS Demur As to Their Non-Appreciation of Rev. Bailey—Tell Facts About Rev. Griffin. Editor SEATTLE REPUBLICAN: We notice in the Seattle Bee under date of Feb. 10th and in the Roslyn items the following: "The Rev. Geo. A. Bailey has a little complaint—His church gnores him." Permit me to say through THE REPUBLICAN that the item is a contemptable slur and a gross falsehood. Ignores, forsooth, let me say I have never seen more harmony among any society in our connection than the Rev. Geo. A. Bailey enjoys in the promising and growing field of Roslyn. I cannot see how any man or woman could, with a clear Christian conscience, publish or cause to be published such stuff. We are prepared to say that every word is false, Rev. Bailey has done a noble work in Roslyn. He has gained the profound respect and support of his church. He has proved himself cheerful, patient, Godly and trustworthy. Even sinners and out siders discover in him the elements of a Christian gentleman. He is fearless, yet kind, his sermons are bold, yet on the gospel line, and his official board is prepared to defend him. We hope this will prove the last of this attempt on the part of some secret foe to strike or throw dirt at one who has no weapon of defense save his godly life and ecclesiastical calling. Rev. Bailey has been engaged in revival services since New Years eve and a goodly number have united with the church. We only wish the A.M.E. church had more such men at its alters. Under Rev. Bailey's labors the people have started a parsonage home, which is now under cover, and which will in the future prove a blessing and comfort to others, in fact every disciplinary law has been taught, and Rev Bailey has no complaint, neither has his church. REV. W. H. WILSON, Stewards J. L. RUSHENBOW, J. L. ROBINSON, JAMES L. HATCHER, LUCY CHRISHOLM. TRUSTEES FANNIE TAYLOR, J. L. CHISHOLM, THOMAS HOWARD. To THE REPUBLICAN: When the editor of the Bee, Mr. D. W. Griffin, was in Roslyn some two weeks ago he took the deliberate liberty to have some bills printed, which stated that he would speak in Roslyn the following Tuesday evening. He signed some of the most responsible Afro-American's names in the camp to the bill, among them was Mr. Carter Nicholas, without their consent. When Mr. Nicholas' attention was called to the bills being scattered about the town, he hunted Mr. Griffin up and told him if he got up to speak that evening he would have him arrested. Then the other men whose names were on the bills went out in search of him, but the "bird" had flown between two suns. An effort has been made by the friends of this man Griffin to suppress this bit of news, but it is nevertheless so, and we do not think that he will show up in this camp again soon. This great "race leader" is a fake. MRS. FANNY TAYLOR. Local and Personal. Rev. G. A. Bailey, of Roslyn, Washington, spent last Sunday in the city. Mr. Mathew Brown, who has had a severe attack of the quinsy, is able to be up and about again. Mrs. Hawkins, wife of Attorney J. E. Hawkins, returned from a most pleasant trip in California on last Saturday evening. Mrs. Hawkins always returns from these California trips, where she has some near relatives, much refreshed and deeply in love with the land of sunshine and flowers Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Oliver have refitted their rooming house on Pike St. from top to bottom, spending on improvements between eight and nine hundred dollars. They pronounce their business in a prosperous condition. Mr. Fritz Keeble spent last Sunday in Tacoma with his family. They will make Seattle, where Mr. Keeble has a splendid business, their home in the near future. Mrs. Joseph Bennett is dangerously ill again. She has been sick more or less during the entire winter. THIRD AVE. and COLUMBIA ST Preparing bodies for shipment a specialty. Tel. Main 13.
