James Leddy, who will be remembered by the
Republicans of Chicago and the entire bar as
the enthusiastic attorney who tried to defeat
Judge Longenecker in the race for the state S
attorneyship, and who upon failing went to
Seattle, Wash, is at the Auditorium hotel. He
is just full of enthusiasm as ever, except that
instead of politics the glorious climate of Seat
tie, and the grand resources OF the state are the
handspring OF his inspiration. According to the
ex-Chicagoan, every young man in this neck OF
the woods should pack up his duds and go West
to Seattle. Everything awaits him there, I'M
told wealth lying dormant in the coal, iron, gold
and silver mines the gigantic forests the fertile
soil, the streams well stocked with fish,
the soaring prices of real estate, the rush of
business, the roar of commerce, etc. The fact
that during his years stay there he picked UP
fortune large enough to enable him TO give the
iceman and the coal dealer the laugh for the
rest of his life is the Endorsement of his glowing
accounts. ''Why, you are just throwing oppor-
tunities away staying here" ne said this morn
ing to an old acquaintance. tIf you stay here
you will live from hand 10 mouth and be no bet
ter off in thirty years than you are now. Go
there and make your fortune and reputation
Capital? Your youth is your capital. You need
none other. We have one trunk line in the city
already-the Northern Paeific-and three others,
the Great Northern, the Union Pacific and the
Canadian Pacific, are building toward the city
with all possible speed. And in the spring the
Canadian Pacific will establish a line of steam
ers to run between Seattle, China and Japan |

LAuRELs FOR NEW YEARS PAPER.

The Republican and Leader is under obligations
to ex-Alderman George +. Gund for the New
Years edition OF the Seattle PosT-INTELLIGEN-
GER, forty-page issue, excelling in makeup
and matter its Salt Lake and Denver rivals,
although the newspapers in those cities pub
lisbed immense editions on the first day of the
present year. Seattle is big and booming and
so is the PosT-INTELLIGENCER.-La Crosse wis.,
Republican.
The Seattle PosT-INTELLIGENCERs New Years
edition OF forty pages was a treasure. Unlike
most of the larger papers who devoted much of
their space to booming their own towns, the
PosT-1NTELLIGENcER' fine paper was devoted
to a compilation of interesting facts and statis-
tics from every portion of the state. The Posi-
INTELLI6ENCER is the best paper on the North
west coast and deserves the apparent success it
is enioying.-Sedhdusa World
The great dailies of the state have done
wonders this year in the way OF holiday
numbers. The PosT-INTELLIGENcER leads all
with forty pages.--Asotin Sentinel

THE SUICIDAL TENDENCY.

The Chicago Tribune has been at pains to
make a compilation of the reported sui
sides within the United States during the
Tear 1890, which il states at 2,6i0. against
s,222i for 1889 and l,4S7 in 1855. 1t is not
claimed that the figures in either case are
exhaustive or exact, but they are suf-
hciently so TO demonstrate heavy in
crease in the tendency to self-murder in
This country.
In the reports from which its compila-
lions are made the Tribune finds large
showing of persons engaged in what are

,ated classes, including s architects, 5
postmasters, 5 journalists, 4 actors, 4
Judges, q eIcrgymea, teachers. lawyers,

many ministers; that the medical men

MANUFACTURING SITES.

We have for sale a tract Of
about Is acres of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime
apOlis, which is perhaps the
best site for factories in either
city. 1t has a spur track run
ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one of the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
trict. accessible to good railroad
tPackage, large enough to accom-
mOdate large manufacturing con-
Germ. and is therefore very valua-
bic. The Midway District. trav-
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling up, and
few years will see property there
quadrupled in value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center of population of our
dual city. and the owners of land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.

in the rear of the Office proper. When
Agent Denny arrived this morning he
found the Office tOpsy-turvy and
a number Of packages. amounting to
several hundred dollars, gone and
others thrown about the floor. From
indications it appears to have been the
work Of Two men. They were evidently
scared away, for the safe had not been
tempered with. and several dozen Valu-
able articles remaiEed untouched Had
the thieves been left undiSturbed. they
would have secured several th0usend
dollars worth of goods. Early in the
evening TWO men we're seen making an
attempt to steal a horse and buggy

UNTIL
CHRISTMAS.

These are all new goods,
and most of them were re-
ceived from importers dur
ing the past week. This is
our reason for making this
reduction. They should
have been here six weeks
ago, but as we cannot make
any money on them, we are
determined not to carry
them over. Your gain is
our loss. Come and see for
yourself that our regular
prices are lower than those
of competitors, and we give
half off of our regular prices.
