Caveat EmptOr.

Whereas, the U. S. Marshal proposes to sell
my property (the south half of block II, in
Olympta), which own in my own right and
which has been my home for many years, on u
pretended execution against Edmund 1Sylves-
ter, upon Judgment against him in favor OF
the United States, which writ is absolutely roid
because not issued until after Mr. sylvester
death;
Therefore, all persons are warned that will
defend my property to the utmost and that no
chase at said proposed Marshal's sale. This no.
tice ID intended to save intending purchasers
from being entrapped into a lawsuit. annoying
and injurious To themselves, us well as to me.
As many OF my neixhbOrs ana acq uaintanccs
in Olympia know, it IL through my own exer-
tiOns, assisted by my daughter May, that this
property has been saved us family home. 1t
is our money and no other that is invested in 1t.
and Tor this reason, il no other, in law and JUS
tice, we are entitled to claim it against any
person claiming to be o creditor OF Mr.. Sylves-
ter, and we trust that our neighbors in Olympia
will recognize the justice Of our claim at once
without requiring 1t to be put to the test OF
trial in court involving both annoyance and ex-
pense, and especially in view Of the fact that
the judgment against Mr.. sylvester is based
executed as surety for Sidney s. Ford, Indian
Agent more than 80 years ago and whose accounts
are supposed t6have been settled satisfactorily
to the officers 0f the Government. many years
since. Mr.. Sylvester never admitted his Habil-
ity for the amount claimed or any amount
whatever, and the judgment against him was
taken unfairly by default when he was too i'll
to attend court and make his defense. l am
nEsured by attorneys i'll this Territory and also

Creative Life

is THE FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH AND
STRENGTH, BUT LOST MANHOOD AND
wOMANHooD ENDS IN PHYSICAL DE-
TERIoRATION.
Treatment and cure by Drs. Darrin,
at the International hotel, Cherry
street, Seattle, w. L.
The press, the pulpit and the lee
ture room are silent on the subject of
diseases of the sexual organism. The
sexual life-the life through which we
derive our being-is regarded by most
persons with religious horror. A
false delicacy withholds true knowl-
edge in regard to physiological laws,
and life wrecks, shattered humanity,
insanity and premature graves fill the
world.
The sexual life is the sustaining
power of every organ Of the body, pre-
noting digestion, absorption, respira-
ton, circulation, secretion and ex-
erection for its sustenance and growth ;
the brain for thought, and the nerves
to receive the impression OF the soul.
AS the sexual life wsakens in either
sex the health of the individual dimin-
ishes. The living spermatozOa of the
male and the ova of the female are be-
ing constantly generated in the hui
man frame by drawing upon the es-
sence of the nervous system and pro-
toplasmic force. When the latter are
impaired the former become inert and
deformed; hence physical deteriora-
ton.
The ordinary physician is often UNI
able to discover the nature of disease
because he is unacquainted with the
principle of life, a knowledge of which
is necessary to enable him to trace ef-
feet to cause, without which he is crop
ing in the dark and fails to cure his
patients.
We would invite the attention of
those of either sex afflicted in this
manner to our new and successful
method of treating this class of dis
eases. We guarantee positive and
permanent cure of every case coming
under our care and following our in
structions and advice.
Call on the Drs. Darrin while you
have the opportunity and have these
troubles, with all their gloomy con-
sequences, removed. Though you
may have q weakness of sexual or
gans, or been potent for many years,
though from repeated efforts and fail
ures to get relief your lives may be
filled with darkness and despair, we
say to you cOme-certain relief is near
at hand. Your own manhood de-
mands it; it is duty owed society,
your friends and family. Your days
now filled with sadness and despon-
dency will be changed to JOY and glad
ness, every hour an hour of sunshine,
and your whole life be as beautiful as
a summers day.
All communications, by mail or
otherwise, strictly confidential. Con-
sultation in all cases free.
OFFICE HOURS AND PLACE OF BUSINESS.
The Drs. Darrin are located at the
international hotel, Cherry street, Sc
attic, w. T. Office hours from 10 to
daily; evenings, to 8; Sundays,
10 to IL. All durable chronic diseases,
loss of manhood, blood taints, syphilis,
gleet, gonorrh9a, structure, spermator-

sire or sexual power in man or woman,
catarrh and deafness, are confiden-
TALLY and successfully treated Most
cases can receive home treatment after

wonderful growth of the trees on this
coast. He says that tree that will
scale 500 feet is now rare in the old
Pine Tree State, and that ours, which
measure from 1900 to 5000 feet,
would surpass belief, were it not that

SUNDAY night, VIM. Martin, the
condemned Tacoma murderer, escaped
from Jail, and has not, at this writing,
been recaptured. The Ledger smoothes
the matter over, and devotes much
space in explanation of Martins es-
cape. 1t is claimed that he wore the
rivets OF his shackles until they could
be removed, by securing them with
sand. which theory may SEEM plausible
to those who are easily satisfied; but
outraged justice is not quoted by such
II tlimsy device. The fiendish murder
er was granted fair and impartial
trial, convicted and sentenced to death
for numbering Il fellow-being for few
paltry dollars, and all law-abiding cit
liens demanded and expected that
he would be made to suffer the
full penalty of the outraged law.
If it is true that this descendant
OF Cain walked out of Jail, when
two guards were on watch, it is
vrry plain they were not performing
their duty. One of them acknowledges
he was asleep when Martin escaped.
In fact, according to the story Of both
the guards, they do not know when he
escaped. When they awoke, he was
gone. County Commissioner Tullis
exhibited but the feeling of the whole
community, when, solicited TO offer Al
reward for the capture of the murderer,
he asked, "What assurance have we
OF holding the murderer till executed,
if recaptured?" That seven men have
escaped under the administration of
the present Sheriff of Pierce county, is
not very creditable to him as an Off
Ger, from whatever point it may be
viewed.

DIABOLIcAL.-As most of our read
ers are undoubtedly aware, our enter
prising fellow-citizen, j. A. Silsby,
lately purchased the Episcopalian
church building, on Main street, to
which he Immediately removed his
large stock of groceries and merchan-
disc, converting the former church
into a store:: This, upon the part OF
Mr.. Silsby, was mere business trans
action, as the building occupied by
him was soon to be removed to make
room for the new brick block to be
built by the Odd Fellows. He was
compelled to find some other place in
which to carry on his business, and
this old church was the most eligible
thing that offered and as it was for
sale of course Mr.. Silsby bought it.
Though Mr.. Silsby is known far and
wide as most devout and exemplary
professor of religion, and one of the
bright and shining lights of the NJ
E. Church, ON last Saturday night
some diabolical scoundrel-an infidel,
we have no doubt-actuated and
moved thereto by the devil, pasted or
tackled upon the store over Mr.. Silby's
name, in large letters, the we'll known
text from Matthew:
at 10 written My house shall be called house
| Of prayer, but ye have made 1t den Of thieves"
Which libel remained in place until
about2 O'Clock p. NJ. Sunday, to the
disgust of our citizens who gathered
from all parts of the town in great
masses to express their indignation.
And it was well for the perpetrator of
this scurrilous joke that his name
could not be found out, as he would
undoubtedly have been torn to pieces
by the Infatuated crowd.

Some Consolation in Disaster,

The fear that the China evil, like
he plaques Of Egypt, will finally re-
suit in the overthrow OF free labor in
this country, is somewhat modified
by the frequent accounts of disaster to
our Asiatic neighbors, and the fearful
loss OF life that has attended these
occurrences. China's menaces has
resulted quite as much from the
number Of her people, as the industry
and rare skill that must of necessity
prevail where the population is largely
in excess of the area upon which it sub
sists. If any degree of satisfaction can
be be derived from what is popularity
denOminated misfortune, then We
have cause Tor congratulation that an
Advise Providence has made earth
quake and flood the means for rcduc-
ing that close competition for the
means of obtaining a livelihood that
must exist while the population is
largely in excess Of the natural capa-
bilities of that country for its support.
A late dispatch states that flood of
the Yellow river has destroyed many
cities and towns, and hundreds Of
large and small villages throughout
the Empire of China, and that the
loss of life will not fall much short of
100000 people: This disaster was
accompanied by an earthquake which
destroyed considerable property and
many, thousand lives. The loss of
property, of course involves the
necessity OF extensive repairs, and
this means, to some extent at least,
employment for the poorer class,
while the decrease in population,
when compared with the $4,000, 600
of population, although small, will re-
lieve somewhat the crowded condition
of the country. Let us hope that
pending legislation, when crystalized
into law, will find potent aid in these
seeming disasters for freeing our land
from a blight that has threatened the
very life-current of the nation, the
well-being of our laboring classes.
