Talk Against Fruit Vendors.

Commission merchants and fruit dealers are
bitterly opposed to the practice of permitting
fruit and nut peddlers to use the street corners
Unfortunately for vending their goods. 1t is
claimed that the stock offered by those vendors
is always inferior and sometimes really unfit to
mate business man who pays rent and often has

quality TO those sold by the vender who pays no
rent except few dollars license for which he is
permitted to sell on the street in front of his

chooses. The opinion is freely expressed that

they should be prosecuted for offering for sale

from vending, and grant licenses only to Grip

DRIVEN FROM THE CoMMUNrTY.
An Aged Druggist Who Invited the
Hatred of His Neighbors.

George II. Mcpherson, a druggist, on Depot,
near Albert street, has been forced to leave that
district by the Indignation of his neighbors.
About half dozen leading residents of the
locality waited on him a few days ago and in
formed him that he was accused of taking i'm
proper liberties with several little girls. They
ordered him TO leave or he would be held re-
sponsible to the law. He denied the charge, but
the committee would take no denial. He then
asked for ten days in which to make his pre-
parations, but the committee insisted on his
going at once He still protested, but his visitors
declined TO argue with him any further and left
him. He has since disappeared from the local
ity, or at least members OF the committee have
not seen him.
N r. Mcpherson is a stout man of ford COM
plexion and is about 81 years old. His neigh
bors say that he has been in the habit OF entieing
little girls, between and Il years OF age, into
the back room of his store and there acting in
an improper manner with them and using OBJ
scene language to them. He formerly had
store at 2l7 Rollin street, and it is claimed by
those who have given him the last warning, that
he was driven out OF that locality for the same
reason about a month ago. He has been living
in Seattle about year, having returned after an
absence OF about twenty years in California.

LOST BAGGAGE
Steamer Passengers Recover Damages
From the COMPANY.

Judge Humes' court was occupied yesterday
with the case OF James Maxwell and wife against
the Pacific Navigation Company for $685. for
baggage lost while en- route from Olympia to
Seattle, or Of this point. Maxwell claims that
he and his wife came from Olympia on the
steamer Skagit Chief on September 10, 1890, and
had their household goods bundled up and
checked as baggage; that when he presented the
check for the baggage 1t could not be found, and
he has never been able to recover Ii.
The Pacific Navigation Company claims that
the baggage was shipped to this point on the
steamer Fairhaven after plaintiffs arrival and
was left at Bakers wharf, and that the wharf
owners and not the company, are responsible
for its loss. Judgment was given for the amount

NEED OF A BRIDGE.
Several Serious Accidents Mt the River
Near Buckley.

The people of the White river valley are soreiy
in need of wagon bridge across the river near
Buckley. The perils of fording the river were
exemplifed again last sunday. Three men
undertook TO ford il near the railroad track
with team and load of baled hay. One of the
horses stumbled in mid-stream and was soon
drowned in the rushing water, among the rocks.
The men jumped out and worked in cold water
up to their armpits TO save the other horse.
Charles Johnson, who ran to their rescue, while
stepping along over a boom of logs, fell into the
water st the upper end, was carried under the
boom, narrowly escaping drowning. The
men and one horse finally reached the shore In
safety. There have been numerous casualties
while iording the river in that vicinity.

meeting was held yesterday of the joint

A first glimpse of what is to
be the styles in spring we give
today in second window from
corner.
It's early to talk about such
essentially warm weather goods
as embroideries, but we can
make them interesting enough
SO that you will want them
even were there snow on the
ground.
Pretty broad assertion that,
but we have the goods and the
prices that warrant it.
We want you TO see what
there is new in embroideries
for the spring, what we have
to offer you, and. at the same
time, by this advance guard,
give hint of the army of new
goods that are coming. They
are arriving daily, they are on
the trains, on the ocean, gather
ing from the ends of the earth
for your comfort and pleasure,
and when they are gathered
in their entirety you shall have
at your command the choicest
products of the world.
Our special buyer, a member
Of the firm, is now in the New
York market choosing the best
from the worlds offerings to
fashion and utility.
But about the embroideries,
the window full, first harbingers
of the spring, is what we have
something to say today.
Those shown are samples of
the stock, just a few, but
enough to tell. Over $1,000
worth arc displayed in this first
showing. There are others
coming.
You will see entirely new
designs, oddities and beauties.
Among the new things of
the season, the combination
flouncings attract. A direct in
vasion of houncing on the
French combination robes.
There are embroidered ging-
hams, net insertion, with the
plain material to match. A
very happy dividing line be-
tween houncings and gingham
dress patterns.
About the embroideries this
mention of prices will hardly
give idea of the values that
attach to the goods:
Embroideries. inch width, sc.
Embroideries, TX inch width, 7c
Embroiderics, 2 inch width, 12'sc.
Embroideries, 3 inch width, I5c.
Embroideries, ga inch wi It'll. csc.
Flouneings at 35c, 4oc, 45c, soc, s5c and
upwards
In the same show window
notice the special value torchon
laces. Something extra about
these:
Torchon Lace 2 inch width, Sc
Torchon Lace, 81 inch width, l0c.
Torchon Lace, inch width, l2lsc.
Torchon Lace, y inch width. l5c.
Remember also that the
clearance sale still has dozens
of attractive features for those
who desire to make a big saw
ing on their purchases.
