THE COUNTY MONEY.
Treasurer Latimer Paying 1t
Out Rapidly.
DENIAL or CERTAIN CHARGES.
County Funds Are Not All Deposited In
One Bank, Nor Are They Trans
mitted to Portland.

Mr.. William G. Latimcr, the county treasurer,
and Mr.. Byron Phelps, his assistant, who sue
ceeds to the Office this month, spoke with con-
siderable emphasis yesterday in regard to some
statements made by Mr.. John Leary.
At the Monday night meeting OF the Chamber
OF Commerce Mr.. Leary took occasion to say he
understood that the county treasurer had re-
Gently collected 100000 in taxes, drawn from
the funds of individuals and of the various
bankers OF Seattle This $4,000, instead OF be-
ing apportioned among the various banks OF the
city and thus put into circulation again, had all
been turned over to one bank which would not,
except in cases of great emergency, make loans
TO Seattle merchants, but sent its money to
Portland. Mr. Leary felt much grieved over this
condition OF affairs, which he thought tended to
produce financial stringency here.
Mr. Latimer, in commenting on the matter,
said: "The statements of Mr.. Ieary, If correctly
reported, are certainly wide of the truth. In the
first place, the amount collected has oeen about
ION December 10, while the taxes were still
being collected, did what have never known
any county treasurer to do-that is, issue a call
for scrip. The usual course is to wait till the
collections are closed. But on account OF the
tghtness of the money market issued a call as
soon as made a few collections We have thus
paid off ali the road and bridge scrip, and
enough from the general fund to put $4,000 of
the collections back into circulation at once.
THAT takes big slice off of the $4,000.
"of what is left $4,000 is in the special funds,
such as the school, which cannot be paid out
except on special warrants. We have to hold
the money for these funds until warrants are
made out for the particular purpose.
"still another point to be borne in mind is that
all the money did not go to one bank. The bulk
is deposited with Dexter Horton d Co., and part
with the First National bank
Il have tried to put the money taken for taxes
back into general circulation as quickly as pos
sible; and / have issued more calls for scrip
than any of my predecessors did. In proportion
to the size of present collections, have paid of
more warrants than were ever paid before.
81 shall continue to issue calls for scrip as
fast as can. AS for Mr.. Leary, he is not letting
puts it--for he has not paid all his taxes yet"

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.: Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tons, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Of all druggists.

SEATTLE, Jan. 7, 1891.

SEATTLE, Jan. 7, 1891.
Are working night and day
to have everything ready for
the semi-annual clearance sale,
which we have decided to in
augurate tomorrow.
Everything will be ready in
good time, and tomorrow, if
you will look in this paper you
will find a half-page advertise
ment, in which we will give
you enough of the special
prices to show just how great
an event we intend making this
sale.
Last summer our clearance
sale was such a great success
that it hardly seemed possible
that we could promise one of
even greater magnitude. We
propose, however, that the
coming sale shall far exceed
that one. OF course, talk is
cheap, and it costs nothing to
say that this shall be the great
est sale of dry goods yet known
in the city, but we feel conf
dent that when you see tomor-
rows offerings in the papers.
you cannot fail to agree with us.
In commencing this sale it
is only fair to give you a few
pointers about what we shall do.
First: Sweeping reductions
shall be made in every depart
ment.
Second: Besides the clear
ance reductions, there shall be
special days in every retail de-
partment in the house.
Third: Goods shall be on
sale at clearance prices when
once marked down, until en-
tirely sold out.
Fourth: Sale will continue
until February Ist.
Fifth: New specials will be
given each day during the sale.
Watch the papers for the
special department days and
the clearance prices.

An Insane Farm Hand.

Thomas Hyland, a demented farm laborer
from Duwandsh, was given hearing before
Judge Osborn yesterday, and was committed to
the insane asylum at Steilacoom. The examina-
ton showed that Hyland is harmless and is in
no danger of injuring any person except him
ton for two or three years, and has acted
strangely. His insanity takes the form of de-
mentia, and may be cured by proper treatment.
He was struck on the head with a chunk OF

seems to have never been right since that time.
He will be taken to the asylum today.
