In reading over the literary items Of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jcnks' Dream.- Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a recommendation to use DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, I
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap
est, Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.

IMAM -, t00As
The thirty days oil our great
mid-winter clearance sale are
up.
Today down Came the signs,
the placards, everything ex-
cept what there is remaining
of the special sale goods.
These continue until sold at
the special prices.
Past month has been a
profitable one TO our hosts OF
customers. We have been
splitting the profits, very fire.
quently the costs, and in every
case have given actual reduc-
tons.
1t is pleasant to look back
and note that not one of these
past thirty days has been other
than a success.
January is usually considered
a quiet month in a business
way. We have found it just
the contrary. This mid-winter
clearance sale has been one of
our greatest successes.
Because we announce the
close of the clearance sale do
not have the idea that this
closes the bargain offerings.
They abound throughout the
house.
The Shoe Department con-
tinues its unparalleled sale of
mems and ladies' shoes. It's d
clearing out previous to the
removal of the department to
another portion of the house.
Cloak Department has few
of the winter weight garments
that remain at the special
prices.
Millinery Department is as
attractive today as it was yes
terday with its offerings of hats
and ornaments. These spe-
Gals are of the kind that it
pays to catch up.
The remnants are not all
gone, but their quantity is
greatly diminished. Worth
your while to look them over.

A PILE BOOM OPENED.
Malicious Mischief OF an Unknown Wa
ter Front Thief.

Some unknown person opened boom OF piles
belonging to d. X. Howard Wednesday night,
aud all the piles, of which there were 100 in the
boom, drifted out with the tide, so that not
much over half of them were recovered. On ex-
aiming the boom-sticks Mr.. Howard found that
all the boom-chains had been stolen The en-
tire loss viii amount to about $500. The boom
had been lying little beyond the Mechanics
mill.
Some think that there should be two or three
policemen to act as q harbor patrol at night, as
there is at present but little hindrance to thieves
operating most any place around in the harbor
at night. And while the amount stolen may be
trihing they are liable to, as in this case cause
considerable damage to property.

a suit for the condemnation of six acres of land
at the head of Elliott bay, which, the railway
company claims. is necessary for the construc-
ton, maintenance ana operation OF the main
line of its road and for side tracks. depots water

STREET CONDEMNATION CASES.
Charles Hopkins Gets Damages 70
West and Post Streets.


West and Post Streets.
The two suits of Charles Hopkins against the
City of Seattle for damages Tor condemnation OF
property in opening West and Post streets were
concluded in Judge Osborn's court yesterday
The cases were consolidated and the jury as
sessed Hopkins damages at 81 $50
The property condemned is part OF lot 8, in
block d, fronting on Elliott bay. In his CON-
plant Hopkins alleges that he has been in pos
session of this property for fourteen years, and
prior to the big fire of June 6, 1889, had valuable
improvements thereon. Within thirty days
after the destruction OF his building he began
rebuilding, and claims to have expended $4,000
in improving the property. On February 20,
1890, the city passed an ordinance to extend
Post and West streets through this property
Hopkins says that the streets cut off his valu-
able riparian and littoral rights, and each one
has damaged his property 10 the amount OF
$1,000. He also claimed $1,000 for the property
taken for Post street and $50 for that taken for
West street, making the total amount sued for
$3.50. The jury awarded him 1850 for the
land taken for Post street and the damages re-
sulting therefrom, and $3.50 for the property
taken for West street.

SHAWL NOT A RoBBER.


Aaron Shawl convicted.in the superior court
of forcible entry, was yesterday sentenced by
Judge Humes to pay fine of $40 and costs,
amounting in all to about s5s Shawl was
charged with forcibly and violently entering the
dwelling house of Charles Band on December O.,
1890, and throwing the furniture out into the
street. There was no intention on tie part of
Shawl to commit any robbery, but the entry was
made merely for the purpose OF ousting re-
fractory tenant, and for no other. Shawl bears a
good reputation and is regarded as an honest
and law abiding citizen. Ii is thought that he
acted honestly but ignorantly in forcing his way
into his tenants house.

Considerably.

deadly weapon, was tried in Judge Humes'
court yesterday, and convicted of simple as
sault, and sentenced to pay fine of $50 and

money to pay for it. Newell refused his de-
mands, whereupon Thomas offered to exchange
a cigar for drink, and when Newell declined
to trade angry words followed, and Thomas got
hit on the head with large sized club
Newell was arrested for assault with deadly
weapon, but his attorney, Mr.. w. T. Scott,
moved TO amend the information to make it a
case of simple assault. Judge Humes granted
the motion, and the jury convicted Newell of
that offense.
