The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CRIME RUNS RIOT IN SEATTLE Private Citizens Are Arrested and Thrown Into Jail for Daring to Criticise Such a Criminal Condition of Municipal Affairs. Seattle's Citizens Aroused to the Gravity of the Situation-Made Public by the Post-Intelligencer. VoL VII., NO 41 CRIME·RUNS RI Is Said to Have Fallen Private Citizens Are Arrested Daring to Criticise Sedition of Murder Seattle's Citizens Aroused to the Grief by the Post Was Chief Meredith following out that famous biblical quotation when he instituted the proceedings which he did against the editor of this paper last Saturday evening, which says: "A guilty conscience needs no accuser?" He certainly must have felt as does the above quotation plainly state, or he would not have done as did he. Chief Meredith and his superior officer, the mayor of this city, not content with throwing the gates of this splendid municipality open that the city might be captured, pillaged and looted by the criminal slums of creation, a great many of whom have flocked here from every part of the globe; not content with bringing about that condition of affairs in this city, which is an extreme menace to human life and liberty, as well as to feminine virtue; not content with making Seattle a city that would cause the ancient inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorah to hang their heads in shame and disgrace at the shocking sins that stalk about our streets with perfect impunity; not content with making murder, arson and riot an almost every-day occurrence; not content with fostering institutions that drag every man, woman and child within the pale of the lowest perdition; not content with practically making every other business house in this city a place of game and chance, all of which are fostered and protected by police authority; not content with being personally responsible for a condition of municipal affairs which permits the criminals to openly defy the state and municipal laws upon our statute books, thus allowing vice and crime to run riot along every street, alley and byway in this city; not content, it is repeated, with all this, they endeavor to make it an unpardonable sin and an unbailable crime for any citizen or public newspaper to criticise such an unlawful state of affairs. But yesterday, so to speak, one of the frequenters of low gambling houses took a human being's life because he refused to lend him more money to continue his gambling debauchery and midnight mauraudings, and this crime paled into insignificance in comparison with the criticising of the administration that fostered such high-handed outrages, and that man was permitted to go home and stay unmolested that night with his wife and children, while the man who dared to criticise the administration that should be responsible for such was thrown into jail, denied bail, refused the privilege of seeing counsel, mistreated and abused by the arresting officer and plainly informed that his was a crime that did not deserve even the consideration of the officers of the law sworn to do their duty and to protect the rights of each and every citizen, irrespective. "All's well that ends well," but so far as this case was concerned, it failed to end well for the man who perpetrated it. Though it required two lawyers and a couple of bankers a number of hours to get together $500 in cash, owing to the fact that it was Saturday night, and owing to the fact that most of those business men who would have had that sum of money at their command had gone home, yet they succeeded, and the prisoner, whom it had been --- planned to keep confined in a deep, dark, damp cell for two days and nights, was released five hours after he had been incarcerated, and then it was that the Post-Intelligencer on Sunday sounded the alarm to the people of this city, as to what they were really coming to and the real condition of affairs in the city in which they live. This alarm was responded to by the entire pulpit of the city, the worshippers took it up and soon it became general. By noon Sunday a universal alarm had been given and men, women and children, one and all, were ready to do anything, to render any assistance within their power, to protect American citizenship and to uphold the constitutional rights of every citizen, even though it be in Seattle, where Russian practices had been instituted. The storm of indignation that swept over this city on last Monday, when the Post-Intelligencer gave the full details of the shocking outrage perpetrated on one who dared to criticise the Tom Humes policy was unprecedented in this community. Men grouped about the streets discussed it, heads of business firms discussed it, with their clerks and customers, visitors to the city discussed it in their hotel lobbies. Mid-day lunchers discussed it as they ate. Mothers and children discussed it at their homes; in short, nothing else but that fearful travesty on human rights was discussed by every man, woman and child in Seattle for forty-eight long hours after it was first exposed. It is plain to be seen that a mistake has been made; it is plain to be seen that somebody has overstepped the bounds of constitutional rights; it is plain to be seen that spite and maliciousness prompted this whole affair, and it is plain to be seen that the public does not approve of any man becoming the complaining witness, the arresting officer, the judge and the jury and the executioner of any citizen, even though such citizen has committed an alleged crime. Is there another city in all Christendom where so many places of vice are allowed to flourish under police protection as there are at present in Seattle? Is not every other business house in the city almost occupied by some kind of a skin game and gambling device? Are not the saloons running contrary to law made and enacted by both the state and the municipal legislatures? Is not the city completely overrun with fallen women, who ply their trades up and down our streets without fear of police interference? Are not young ladies who work in stores and offices almost nightly chased from their places of business to their homes by liberties and idlers? Are not men robbed and held up from one end of the city to the other? Is not the city festered with places of amusement in which men are deceived and robbed by the attaches and habitues of those places? Are not such places publicly known to exist, not only to the police, but to every man, woman and child in the city? Is not the city, to the personal knowledge of every one, flooded with a horde of hold-ups, highwaymen, fotpads and murderers, who kill, burn and burglarize at their own sweet will the homes herein? No one denies that all of this is true; it does not require a detective to discover these places SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1901 HOLD UPS HOLD DOWN SPUDS SPUDS C. Feniaq Prompted the following cartoon being published in this paper some months ago and the recent high-handed outbreak on the part of the police against citizens suggests its reproduction. While real criminals are being winced at citizens are being beaten and thrown into prison and, Czar like, denied bail or communication to the outside world. that are publicly赞助 do they have any fear of being imprisoned, nor do they expect to be molested for their ways of doing. Now the question is, Do the city officials know of this condition of affairs? If they know it and do not suppress it, then do they not become "particeps criminis" to the whole affair? Does Chief Meredith, who is the official head of the police department; who is the guardian of human life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in this city, know of these conditions? If he does, does he not know that laws have been made whereby he can put them down? He has no right to truckle to those classes, for the strong arm of the law is in his power to crush them instanter. Why does he not use it? If he does not know of their existence, then he is even more unfit to be at the head of the police department than if he knew of them and refuses to suppress them. It is rather commendable on the part of Chief Meredith that he is "a husband and father," and it is rather commendable on his part to want to protect the honor of that wife and children. In the capacity of a public official would he not subserve that charge of "husband and father" to a far greater advantage and glorious purpose by the enforcement of the laws of thic city and state and by the suppression of crime and viciousness which Seattle is so badly overrun with at present? Is it not next to impossible for any father to maintain a pure family in any city in which all manner of crime and viciousness are licensed and protected by the police department. Just think of it! It has been said, and said without contradiction, that there are at present in the city of Seattle 8,000 registered fallen women and each of them boasts of a male satellite, in most instances even more criminal than the women themselves. Thus out of a population of 90,000 it can be truthfully said, if the above statement can be relied upon, that there are 20,000 law-breaking citizens, men and women, who live by their wits, who live by their crooked dealings and who live by robbing their honest fellowmen. If this be true, and no one knows Better whether it is or is not than Chief Meredith, is it not a rather humiliating boast for any man to make known to the world that he is "a husband and father," and yet live among such corruption, and doubly so when said man has the law and authority in hand to suppress it? How many husbands and fathers desire to see their wives and little children visit about the city after night unaccompanied by male protection? How many of the husbands and fathers will dare let their wives and children visit any of the parks and resorts about this city unprotected? How many husbands and fathers but that feel doubtful as to even the advisability of letting their wives and children go even down the streets after dark unprotected by some man with a gatling gun, less they be run down, insulted and criminally misused by some of the great herd of vicious men and women that nightly overflow the streets of this city. To disclose the actual and complete criminal conditions of this city would be so shocking and revolting to human decency and good citizenship that the newspapers have absolutely, up to this time, refused to make them public. Prompted by a desire to not do anything that would injure Seattle's greatness they have hoped against hope that something would move the present administration to some extent at least to suppress some of the crime that now infest the city, but instead of suppressing the same, it is growing worse, growing more dangerous, and is now even defying the law in any attempt that it proposes to make to suppress it. To the good citizens of this city, to the citizens who favor law and order, to the citizens who favor morality, to the citizens who desire to rear honest men and women, it is now up to you. Will you have this condition of affairs to continue here, do you propose to sit idly by and not raise your voice in opposition to such a state of affairs, do you propose to sit back on ceremony and see the city of Seattle advertised broadcast as a harbinger of vice and viciousness, do you propose to sit undisturbed while the great army of vicious men and women nightly strike L S Hunt-Hurley at the chastity of our homes and firesides? Are you American citizens who believe in right and who will stand for right, are you willing to sell the virtue of your girls and boys for the sake of taking in a few dollars of blood money? If so, then permit the present system to continue. If not, then rise in your might and say, thus far and no further. There is no individual animosity whatever on the part of this paper toward any of the city officials, as private citizens, nor has it ever criticised them or attempted to slur them in any way, shape or manner as private citizens; but as officials of this city sworn to do their duty and to administer and execute the laws, they not only have been criticised in these columns, but they will continue to be criticised so long as they permit the laws to be so fragrantly violated by men and women; so long as law-breakers are licensed by the paying of monthly fines that they can do their dirty work unmolested by the officers of the law; so long, it is repeated, as the officers of this city permit such to be practiced, just so long will their official acts be severely criticised by The Seattle Republican. And it is not alone in this, for the leading papers of the city, yea, in fact, every publication of the city with a single degree of decency, is against the high-handed methods that flourish not only below the dead line, but almost in every part and parcel of the Queen City of the Northwest, and the newspapers are not alone in this matter, for it has developed since last Saturday night's escapade on the part of the police department that nine-tenths of the citizens of this city are opposed to the present administration. This opposition is not confined to the church-going folks alone, either, but to every man and woman who love morality and its attendant virtues. It is not a question of this or that individual, but it is a question of right. "Are you for right?" is what every man and woman, not habitues of the tender loin district, is now confronted with For any person to try to ring politics into the present uprising of the PRICE FIVE CENTS citizens against the Humes administration is the height of folly. Politics plays no part in this affair whatever, but it is an uprising of good citizens against bad citizens. The men and women who have been quoted in the Post-Intelligencer denouncing the high-handed outrages perpetrated on one for daring to criticise the administration are not for the most part politicians, and, if the men took any part in the politics, it will be observed that those same men opposed the politics advocated by the Post-Intelligencer and The Seattle Republican. It is the same old story of men trying to decoy the people from their purpose by declaring the move made by them in a moral way to be fostered by some wily politician. Let the citizens of Seattle be not deceived by such talk, but let them continue, now that the ball is opened, to crystallize public sentiment against the wide-open policy that our city has been subjected to for the past three years or more. Such a policy is ruminous, demoralizing, and, to say the least, financially injurious to the city's best interest. The editor of this paper is under many obligations to the host of sympathizers who either personally or otherwise expressed their indignation at the treatment accorded him at the hands of the police department, and this applies to both those citizens in the city as well as those out of the city. While the humiliation of being thrown into a prison cell, not for crime, but for spite, was extremely taxing on one's feelings, nevertheless, if that five hours of prison incarceration has been the means of moving the people of Seattle to put their heads together into devising ways and means to overthrow the present wide-open policy, which is causing so many young as well as old folk to be dragged down to utter ruin, then humiliation pales into insignificance in comparison to the good that was done, and it is freely given by the editor hereof. Other men who have fallen under the displeasure of the chief of police and similarly treated have been brought to the knowledge of this office since last Monday. Such persons have been incarcerated in the city jail and denied the rights of counsel or bail. Such arbitrary high-handedness cannot stand, and it is more than probable that the citizens will see to it in the near future that such a condition of affairs be wiped out of existence in Seattle, regardless of the cost to break it up. If The Seattle Republican has committed a wrong editorially against Chief Meredith, it is a righteous wrong, and one that meets public approval in general. It, however, does not believe it has committed any wrong; but whether what was said by it be right or wrong, it is now for the courts to decide, and the merits of the case will not be discussed one way or the other in these columns. This is not a personal matter, but a public one, and no man's sympathy is either solicited or courted by the editor of this paper on account of his arrest and rough treatment. The questions, however, that are up to each and every citizen of this city to answer are: "Are you for municipal decency or municipal diabolicalness?" "Are you for lawlessness or a decent government?" "Are you for the enforcement of the laws or the wanton and open violation of them?" Come, now, answer good and true, are you on the right side or wrong? The issue has been made and the gauntlet thrown down. On which side are you? Total number of patents granted in the last sixty-two years, 1,073,950. Number of immigrants in 1800, 5,000; number in 1899, 311,715. In 1800, six weeks to California; in 1900, five days to California. This century began with 900,000 slaves; it closes without any. When this century began witchcraft was a very prevalent belief.

How the truth does hurt. Seattle, Russia, might not be very much out of place after all. Say, Mrs. Nation, please accept our prison-felt sympathy. The world and his brother have read the P.-I. for the last week. Gen. DeWet seems to be the only real star left in the field. Law and order must prevail in this city, is the edict of the people. Is the Star looking for hush money on all sides just now? It may not be, but it would so appear. What a pity Senator Turner's duties in congress did not end with Pettigrew, Towne and Allen's. Alabama has been visited by a most shocking storm and cyclone, and death and destruction followed in its wake. Newspapers are springing up thick and fast in this city at present. Like toadstools, they flourish today and wilt tomorrow. Tacoma's papers seem to have gone out of their way here of late to say mean things about Seattle's business men. What's up, Bre'r Sam? If only the pest could have been destroyed with the house last Friday in this city, the fear of a smallpox epidemic would no longer harass the citizens hereof. Douglas fir is to be tested by the government officials at Bremerton, and if it stands the test it will become the great ship-building factor, and then Oregon pine will have seen its best days. Washington will be properly advertised at the Pan-American congress with O. M. Moore at her advertising desk. He is a man that all Seattle folk can justly feel proud of. Home-seekers are coming West in car load lots at present. What a pity that some home-cleaners for the city did not make up a few car load lots as well. The preachers of Seattle may differ widely as to their modes of getting to heaven, but they are of one opinion when it comes to the constitutional rights of citizens and the moral conditions of this community. Judge George may be rendering decisions just as a Blackstone or a Choate would have done, but if he is, the better class of citizens of this community would not give a whoop in hottentot for either Blackstone or Choate's legal opinions. Edward Harvey Scott, of the Oregonian, has come to the conclusion that we are all descended from brutes. Most any fool that would read the editorials in the Oregonian would readily see that the allegation, so far as the editor is concerned, was unquestionably true. King Edward's demands that those attending court in future wear uniforms of the royal court, shows the whimsicalness of the man. Oscar Wilde could not have exacted more had he been elevated to the head of the English government. Rev. Randall has not been arrested as yet, though he made charges from his pulpit last Sunday that would make the opinion expressed in this paper last Friday pale into insignificance in comparison; but, perhaps he will get it Saturday about midnight. Governor Rogers is swinging his veto ax since the legislature adjourned with accurateness and dispatch. Measures that do not give him some partisan opportunity of which he can take advantage by giv- --- ing some of his supporters a fat job at once meet his official opposition. Unless we are sadly mistaken the police department found out when it was too late that "Editor Cayton" was not without friends by the thousands. A bail of $100,000 could have been as readily secured as $100, and not altogether from politicians at that, but from Christian people and business men. You cannot always sometimes tell when you are uncovering a hornet's nest. Aguinaldo, the remarkable Filipino leader, has been captured by Col. Fred Funston, the daring young Kansas soldier. It was a daredevil act on the part of Col. Funston, but it worked like a charm, and now Funston is the hero of the hour and the military idol of the American people. Aguinaldo's capture practically ends the Philippine war. What a pity the same could not have been accomplished months ago. The editor of this paper has never been the private secretary of any king-pin gambler and dive keeper; he has never asked favors of saloon-keepers and vicious classes; he has never accepted any of their proffered bribes, and he will therefore grant neither them nor their emissaries any quarter in these columns. Ever since this city has been given over to the "wide-open policy" The Seattle Republican has persistently as well as consistently opposed it, not spasmodically but continually. So persistently has it battled for right that it finally dragged the daily press into the fight, and the daily press has succeeded in arousing public opinion. So much for the "little weekly publication." The following satire has been handed us, to which space is given: "The entire transaction was thoroughly typical of the situation in our municipal affairs during the last two years. Barbee, with his hat on and his muddy feet on a chair in the home of a gentleman, meeting a protest against his ungentlemanly conduct with, 'If you give me any of your lip I'll bust your head in five seconds,' is not one whit worse than an administration which has placed its dirty feet upon the neck of decency and let vice go practically unrestrained. This last outrage ought to arouse those who are in favor of law and order, to a determination to put an end to the disgraceful situation. If the Law and Order League is a properly organized society, every good citizen should give it unqualified support. If it is not, then let us have one that will be a power on the side of right, in the management of our municipal affairs." BROTHER IN BLACK From an Eastern exchange it is learned that the governor of West Virginia has recently appointed Prof. W. S. Stark state librarian, and it is commented upon at length, owing to the fact that it is the first colored man that was ever appointed to a similar position in that state. Even small favors toward a race that is opposed as well as oppressed as much as the colored race is in this country are not to be despised, and it is to be hoped that Prof. Stark will be equal to the emergency and prove himself to be one of the most efficient librarians that the state of West Virginia has ever had. If for no other reason than because the eyes of the entire state, yea, the eyes of every one in that section of the United States, are fixed upon him to carefully note whether he show any qualifications to hold such a position and hold it with credit and honor to the state and to the governor, who overstepped all public precedent and appointed him. He, however, will do this, it is here predicted; first for race pride's sake, and secondly, because for the most part such persons when appointed under similar circumstances always strive to do their very best, and generally succeed. Still it is rather remarkable that in a state like West Virginia, in which nearly half of the voting population comes from the colored race and also when they contribute two-thirds of the labor that makes its citizens wealthy, prosperous and happy, that so small a recognition should call for so vast amount of comment. The late census gives the whole population of West Virginia as 958,800, and of that number . . . are colored, and yet of all the officials in the various coun- --- ```markdown ``` --- Per Acre. Adjoining Car Line. Overlooking Lake Washington. McGRAW & KITTENGER Room 6 Bailey Building ties of that state, all of the state officials in the federal officials therein are responsible to the colored voter for their positions of honor. This is a rather remarkable coincidence, and perhaps the same public conditions could not be cited of any other race in the world. Just why those persons who are candidates for offices and those elected to offices should expect a certain class of people to vote for them as a unit almost and then so stintingly reward them for that vote, is a problem that is wholly unsolvable by any one, regardless of his color, nationality or station in life. As it is, in West Virginia in this matter, so it is all over the United States, which has prompted The Republican on many prior occasions to advise colored folk to seek other employment and to give politics as little of their time and consideration as possible. Let them vote and let them vote for such men as they think will serve their country best, but lose no time nor worry over office-seeking for themselves; in other words, show no great amount of anxiety for political recognition about any service they may have rendered to any political party in the election of its officials.

There are to be found but few persons now living in King county but to whom the name of L. S. J. Hunt is as familiar as though they were personally acquainted with the man possessing the cognomen, and that, too, despite the fact that Mr. Hunt has been absent from the city since 1894. Few men seldom ever become so closely identified with a great city's growth as did Leigh Hunt with that of Seattle, for so nearly inseparable are they that now in one's daily routine of business even at the present time the expression of "those were in the good old days of Leigh Hunt" can be heard two and three times every day. His friends, though he was absent from the city, seem to have never ceased in a single instance to worship his memory, sing his praise and pray for his return. His enemies have never been able to show any good and sufficient cause for being his enemies, and they live in perfect terror, lest he does return to Seattle, King county and the state of Washington and take up the thread exactly where he laid if down. Mr. Hunt is a man of strong personalities who either hates or loves a man. %% Since 1885, when L. S. J. Hunt first landed in Seattle, a rather sickly, consumptive-looking being, with death apparently staring him in the face—his life has been a romance, a dream, a pen picture, punctured with patience, pathos and provocation—he passed from the positive to the superlative and from the superlative to the positive, financially as well 'as politically speaking, with bounds and leaps. Practically without money or means on arriving in Seattle, he succeeded in becoming the absolute owner of the Post-Intelligencer. For the purchase price of the paper he gave his notes to the owners, of which ex-Gov. John H. McGraw was one of them, and long before the notes were due he had paid them off in full, so successful was the paper in a financial way under his management. It soon developed that Mr. Hunt was a journalistic wonder, that success attended his efforts and that under his shrewd and sagacious management the Post-Intelligencer soon became the leading factor politically, financially and socially of the entire Northwest. % % % Leigh Hunt's fortune was made when he secured the ownership of the Post-Intelligencer, for in less than five years from that day he was worth pretty nearly a million dollars in Seattle holdings and securities. He was the leading as well as central figure in every political combination that was made in the Republican party so far as the politics of this state was concerned. He was truly the man of the hour of every occasion; but few men, though they gain the ownership of a daily paper and though they make the same become a paying institution seldom ever enjoy the same amount of public prestige, political importance and general influence in so short a time as did L. S. J. Hunt as owner and director of the Post-Intelligencer, the mouth piece of the Republican party in this state. From $17,000, the amount paid for the paper by Mr. Hunt in 1885, in 1890 it was valued at $250,000. The growth of the paper in value was as miraculous as the growth of Mr. Hunt in political power. % % % The palmy political days of Mr. Hunt in this state, county and city are well remembered by many of the citizens that now live in this community, and they look back to the time with pride and pleasure, and the remark is frequently heard that "if Leigh Hunt was again at the head of political affairs in Seattle HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. ```markdown ``` You don't know what is the very best possible deal to be made on a piano until you have visited our piano department.

King county would once more take her place as the leader of political affairs in this state, and King county would not have to truckle to smaller counties of the state for political recognition on the state ticket." Whether this be true or not, it is an undeniable fact that from 1885 to 1893, during which time Mr. Hunt was the political head of the Republican machine in this county, King county always got whatever it wanted, whether it was United States senator or a governor; whether it wanted public patronage or public honors, all came one and alike. There is no doubt but that should L. S. J. Hunt once more enter the field of politics in King county a most remarkable political revolution in the affairs of King county would be the result. % % % But in the height of all his glory, when public opinion was swayed at his command, when money to him was like so many grains of sand, when his word or signature would command money by the thousands of dollars, a fearful adversity overtook him, and all unexpectedly, while sailing over life's passive lakes, a breaker, deadly and dangerous, hove in sight. The panic of 1893 was on and fortunes melted away before it without a moment's warning, financiers in the North, South, East and West were falling thick and fast before the panic that was sweeping over the entire country like a deadly cyclone. It was said at the time that L. S. J. Hunt could easily have commanded a million dollars on his investments in and about Seattle anywhere from 1890 to 1893, but to that amount for his property interests he laughed his bidders to scorn. Gigantic schemes were undertaken by him, which, had not the panic overtaken, would have made him a multi-millionaire many times over. His Kirkland investment in ordinary circumstances would have netted him millions, but a financial panic, as said before, overtook him, and he like hundreds and thousands of others found himself not exactly a pauper, but a financial wreck. He was forced to the wall in first one place and then another. His real valuable property was put up to protect himself from loss in other less valuable investment until all was a total wreck to him. Truly those were blue and dreary days for the man who had wielded such a power in this community, and it must have called for superhuman efforts on his part to not do something rash, so great must have been the mental strain upon him. Surrendering everything within his grasp to his creditors he sought new fields to regain his fallen fortunes, and backed by a few friends who still had implicit confidence in the man's ability to make money, he went to China and Japan to secure railroad concessions, but in this he was not wholly successful. He informed those backing the proposition that there was nothing feasible from a financial standpoint in the undertaking. He however was attracted to Core, where there was much mining being done in a crude and awkward form, there he soon got concessions from that government to vast mining possessions. Returning to New York city he said to his friends that he now had something that was tangible, that was valuable, that was worth while to invest in. They took him at his word, and he immediately returned well supplied with money to carry on his undertaking, and as a result he now returns to the United States worth far more money than he was ever supposed to be worth in Seattle. While neither Mr. Hunt nor his friends desire to give out any figures as to his real worth in Corea, yet it is very apparent that his possessions there will in a remarkably short time make him one of the United States' most wealthy men. % % % But the romance of this whole story is that L. S. J. Hunt has final- ly returned to Seattle, paid off all his indebtedness, which it is said amounted to nearly one million and a half dollars, and not yet content, he has hunted up every one that he could find that had invested any money in his undertakings while in Seattle and lost thereby, and returned them their investment money with 7 per cent. interest thereon. It is further said that he looked up a number of accounts and notes against him that were outlawed and likewise paid them off with accumulated interest. This of all is the most remarkable part of the man and his career, and it will make him doubly the number of friends that he ever had in this community. A story went the rounds of this community when Mr. Hunt left it in 1894, to the effect that his family surrendered all their valuable jewels as well as household valuables in general to their creditors as willingly as if they were certain of stepping from that to even a greater fortune than they had once possessed. The story also said that though Mrs. Hunt's father was perfectly willing to redeem all of those valuables, neither one would permit it to be done, as they did not want their debts to fall upon the shoulders of friends or foes. Whether that be true or not it is absolutely certain that Mr. Hunt has returned and paid off debts and notes that few other men, if any, would ever have done under any consideration. %% Current reports declare that L. S. J. Hunt will again invest in a newspaper proposition in this city, and at no distant date, that preparations for such a paper proposition are being hurriedly pushed along and that within the next six months, perhaps, the city of Seattle will have another morning paper, owned and operated by the famous L. S. J. Hunt, now of Corean mining fame. As to this the writer cannot speak with any degree of accurateness, and as to the probable success of such a journalistic venture the writer has his many doubts, but a Seattle newspaper is a hobby of Mr. Hunt, and as he has the money he has the right to have his hobby. Seattle will certainly at no distant day be able to support two morning papers, and if it is to have two, the people of this community know of no other man that they would prefer so well to have that other one as L. S. J. Hunt. The employes of Capt. George B. Lamping, county auditor of King, made him a present of a large picture entitled "Roosevelt's Charge at San Juan Hill," which he has placed over his desk in the court house for the inspection of those who perchance have business therein, as well as a fond remembrance of his own experience there. The picture is a most excellent piece of work and one could stand for hours and admire the faces of each of the persons that are shown thereon, as they press up the great hill in spite of the Spanish bullets, which, according to eye-witnesses, fell like hail among the brave boys of blue and mowed them down like straws. The San Juan charge will go down in history as one of the bravest military feats that was ever accomplished in the nineteenth century. Under the burning rays of a July sun, our soldiers unaccustomed to such climates, fought like demons to capture the town and Spanish army, that Old Glory with her stars and stripes might float over the Spanish stronghold on the Fourth of July, the nation's birthday. The boys were successful, though they lost many of their brethren, and the world was convinced that the United States had the bravest soldiers that ever wore uniforms. There is, however, one striking feature about this picture presented to Mr. Lamping, as it shows both white and black men wildly fighting together and side by side for the honor of the American flag. There was no time then, as those earnest soldiers fought their way up that bloody-precipice for the white boys to show any prejudice for the colored boys. It is more than likely as they pressed on from one stronghold to another that they drank from the same canteen, they ate from the same haversack, they slept under the same blanket, and in fact they were one and the same, Uncle Sam's brave "boys in blue." The social conditions at home troubled neither one; they had but one object in view and that was that the United States flag should be lord of all it surveyed. In that fearful charge The Queen Oil Co. HE PROPERTY of this company is situated in the midst of the great oil producing district near Bakersfield, Kern county, California, and consists of 70 acres of oil land. This district is now producing daily eightth to ten thousand barrels of oil. The vein is unlike most oil veins, in that it is a great "blanket" vein; it lies almost horizontal, slightly dipping to the west and south. The oil sand is from three to five hundred feet in thickness, thus assuring a continuous supply for an age to come. The wells are from four hundred to twelve hundred feet in depth. The area of this justly celebrated district, so far as it has been actually exploited, is about four by eight miles; and upwards of four hundred derricks dot this district. A trustee of this company is one of the principal owners of three wells that are producing daily upwards of four hundred barrels of oil. He and another member of this company have driven carefully over this district and failed to see or hear of a non-producing well within the territory above named, but on the other hand whenever a well has been sunk on this ledge, oil to the amount of seventy five to six hundred barrels per day has been obtained. The Standard Oil Company has taken an active interest in this district, and has spent upwards of five hundred thousand dollars, not in the purchase of lands or wells, but in providing convenient means for taking care of the oil. The improvements consist principally in a number of great iron tanks, with a capacity of about one hundred and forty thousand barrels each, and a system of pipe lines to these tanks from private wells and tanks. The oil as it is pumped is measured by means of a meter, which is read every morning. The oil in its crude state is shipped east for refining. There is a small refinery at Bakersfield, and the kerosene there produced will compare favorably with the best standard oil. The most valuable product, however, is the lubricating oil; the refined article is a first-class sewing machine oil; the residue is printers' ink and asphaltum. THE QUEEN OIL COMPANY is incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, and capitalized at $500,000. Shares, 500,000; par value, $1.00 each. The stock is not assessable; 200,000 shares are set aside for development; a limited number of shares will be sold for 15c per share. The stock will advance as the property is developed. We have every confidence that all who invest in this enterprise will be most liberally rewarded. We certainly don't take more than one chance in ten of losing, for the field is thoroughly exploited; we know the trend and dip of the vein and we know its thickness or body. It is not our intention to do something new and startling, but we propose to follow in the footsteps of others who have been abundantly successful in this district in which we enter. We have presented facts, not fancies. For further information and to subscribe for stock, call at the office or address Queen Oil Company OFFICES: 1221 First Ave., next to Post Office Seattle, Wash.

Main 671 C both eye-witnesses and history records declare that the Twenty-fourth infantry, made up wholly of colored soldiers, lost fully 50 per cent. of its numbers, and this was done in order to save the day and float the flag over Spanish forts, neither of which seemed possible for the moment, owing to the fact that the Rough Riders quailed before the drenching rain of leaden bullets that was being poured upon them by the Spanish soldiers, sought cover and absolutely refused to advance further, but the Twenty-fourth infantry, the brave black boys in blue, seeing the awkwardness of the situation, and accustomed to galling fires from Indians, went wildly to the front, as all true, brave and loyal soldiers do, though they were advised by the English officers who were visiting at that point that it was impossible for human beings to climb the hill and live, nevertheless they went on and on, and though more than half of their number were left dead on that battlefield, they saved the day, and the "flag of the free" floated on that hill that night. The picture shows here and there the white and black trooper side by side climbing the hill without order or decorum, fighting their way to the top, fearless of death or danger, but all struggling to save their country's honor. The soldiers that participated in that grand rush who would return home and show any prejudice, feeling or objection to his brother in black should deny the fact that he himself was ever a participant of that memorable as well as historic charge of San Juan Hill.

Mr. Cayton is not a colored man in one sense of the word. He long ago deserted his race. He affects white society. He attends a white people's church. A short time ago he secured a white minister to perform a marriage ceremony at his house. In my judgment, having yesterday questioned many of my race, I believe that Meredith is making a record for himself in demanding punishment of defamers of his character.

AMUSEMENTS It is seldom that so dainty and exquisite a picture of home life is presented as in "The County Fair," which with Neil Burgess himself as Abilgain Prue, will open an engagement of three nights at the Seattle Theater Sunday evening. Having seen it, one ceases to wonder at the extraordinary success it has met with everywhere for the last ten years. It is a most delightful and pleasing drama, containing a story with alternate chapters of pathos and humor, and the gem is set in a manner worthy of its value. So evenly is the story told from beginning to end that at the fall of the last curtain one is at a loss to decide which of the many characters is the most pleasing. Neil Burgess, as Abilgail Prue, is a typical down East spinster, a good housewife and an inveterate chatterbox, but a true and faithful friend, with the kindest heart in the world. To be unfortunate enough to miss seeing this play is like depriving one's self of a most educating evening's pleasure. THIRD AVENUE THEATER Next week, commencing with a Sunday matinee, Miss Jessie Shirley and her excellent supporting company will commence their return en- gagement with a big production of the great scenic melodrama, "The War of Wealth." This is another production never seen in a popular-price house before on the Pacific coast. That the Shirley company will give an excellent performance is assured beyond doubt. During the week "Moths," "Edith's Burglar" and "Nell Gwynn" will be given. There will be no performance on Good Friday night. GRAND OPERA HOUSE Charles H. Hoyt's success as a humorous writer was due to his ability to see the ludicrous side of commonplace things with which everybody is familiar and present it effectively in skit or farce. All his stage efforts have had a familiar subject, which with its humorous side turned out has formed the basis for his story. A skit on popular superstitions is the foundation on which he created the funny story of his best farce, "A Brass Monkey." The revival made this season, with scenery, mechanical effects and costumes constructed after the models of the original production, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House all next week, beginning Sunday afternoon. Mazie Trumbull, the well-known soubrette, plays "Baggage," and James K. Wesley "Jonah." They are supported by a company of twenty players. This is the first Seattle presentation of "A Brass Monkey."
