The case of the FIRST National Bank VS..
D. 7. Wheeler ct al. to recover $11 ,2l4.42
on promissory note, the hearing of which
occupied most of yesterday in Judge
Humes' court, has an interesting history
and promises to be productive of hard
fought legal battle. In October, 1882, John
Leary, II. l.. Yesler and G. W. Harris
signed, as sureties, a note for IS, coo drawn
by D. T. Wheeler and S. c. Harris in favor
OF NJ. V. B. Stacey. The note afterwards
came into the hands of the bank as collat-
eral, and is now sued on. 1t amounts.
principal and interest, to $l1, 2l442
The defense claims, first, that the note
was paid by Wheeler in settlement with
the bank; second, that the note was ex-
tended from time to time without the con-
sent of the sureties, and that they were
therefore released from liability; third,
that as the note is collateral the bank has
no legal title to what is only pledge left
with it. and cannot therefore sue on it. 1t
is further claimed by Leary and Yesler,
who had dealings with the bank, that
when they came to make settlements of
their accounts nothing whatever was said
of the note.

TYPICAL OF A STATE.
Unique Worlds Fair Building
for Washington.
WILL DISPLAY OUR RESOURCES.
Most Characteristic Presented for Any
state-Description OF tho Mr.
skiilings' Plans.

Below are cuts showing the front and
the ground plan of the Washington
Worlds fair building as designed by War
rem p Skillings, of this city.
In approving the plans, Mr.. Burnham,
the supervising architect at Chicago. said
they were the most unique and character
istic presented for any of the state build
ings. Unlike many of the states, which
have provided only headquarters build
ing, similar to club house, for the use of
their residents while at the exposition,
Washington has arranged for structure
which shall contain a display of the varied
resources of the state under one roof. The
idea which has been kept most prominent
in working out the design was to get that
which in its very method of construction
and use of materials would be typical of
the state, and which by its originality and
Heterogeneous would draw the attention
of older communities to the wealth of re-
sources and vast possibilities of the new
commonwealth.
To this end studies were made from the
different structures erected by timber
building nations, the records of which
have come down in the history of archi-
lecture; and the various English, Swiss
and medieval French examples have been

drawn upon to furnish the inspiration
and ideas which form the basis of the de-
sign. The result, as can be seen, is
building harmonious and pleasing in its
contours and groupings and massive and
solid in its construction; a building in ac-
cordance with the ideas slowly worked
out by generations of wood builders, who
gave to their craft all that their love of art
could supply; building calculated to
draw attention to Washington as the fore
most lumber region of the United States
and the world
The foundation will be of native fir logs,
as large in diameter as is practical to
transport and hewn to shape. Some of
these logs will have the bark on in its
natural state and some will be peeled
The main walls and the towers will be of
large timbers. hewn square and framed
and braced together. These timbers will be
firmly mortised, tenoned and pinned with
wooden pins. All the outside work will
be oiled and finished to show to advantage
the wood in its natural state.
One of the interesting features of the
construction will be the use of heavy tim
Der braces in the same shapes as they are
used for ship building. The panels be-
tween will be filed with rough cast or
'stafl," and will be used largely for deco
rative purposes and to show the various
ores and minerals native to the state.
The main entrance. facing toward the
grounds, will be entirely different from
anything else likely to be attempted. 1t
will be in the form of o rocKery, with the
outside composed of low grade ores. with
the veins of silver, lead and other minerals
showing plainly in the rocks. In the
crevices will be placed earth. and the
native moss, flowers and vines of the
state. The main entrance facing the
lagoon, which will be very prominent in
the approach to the grounds, will be of
the various excellent building stones of
the state, ornamentally carved and

OLD OFFENDER RECAPTURED.
A forged Check Proves Suspicio
Against Walsh Was Well Found ed.

"A Forged Check Proves Suspicion
Against Walsh Was Well Founded.
James w. Walsh. an old man who was
arrested Friday night by Lieutenant Thorn
on suspicion of crooked dealings, will be
arranged before Justice Won Tobel Tues
day afternoon at 3 O'Clock upon a charge
OF forgery. At the time of his arrest he
carried basket filled with groceries, and
upon being searched at police headquar-
tiers a lot Of blank checks on Dexter Horton
& Co.'S bank were found on his person.
1t was learned yesterday that Friday
evening Walsh went into John Cunning
ham 4 Co.'S grocery store in North Seattle
and ordered groceries amounting to Sc.
When his purchases had all been put IN
his basket he felt in his pockets and re-
marked: Il declare haven't the change
with me-" Then he added: II can give
you check on Dexter Horton & Co."
The old man had an air of respectability,
and the unsuspicious storekeeper prompt
ly accepted check for the amount, drawn
ION the account of James II. Moore"
Cunningham presented the check for pay
ment at the bank yesterday, and learned
that 1t was forgery. He Immediately
complained to the police, and was sur
prised when the jailer brought Walsh out
from his cell. Cunningham recognized
him.as James H. Moore'
The storekeeper Immediately went be-
fore Justice Won Tobel with Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell and swore
out the warrant charging the prisoner
with forgery. Pending hearing the de-
PENDANT was placed under $500 bonds, and
i'll default of boLdsmen was re-committed
to jail.
Walsh was arrested last spring upon a
similar charge. He was accused of forg-
ing the name of James II. Moore to q
check for $40 on the Washington National
bank. He was bound over for trial in the
superior court by Justice Won Tobel, but
for some reason the case was never brought

The Rainier Avenue Electric Railway
Company sued ]. S. Kloeber yesterday in
the superior court to recover 81, coo for an
alleged breach of contract. The COM
plant sets out that in July, 1890, Levin

to do battle with the city players, and we
have not two more ardent lovers of the
game than the two worthy proprietors, and
none enjoy Il good practical joke better
than they do at the expense OF these same

the champions was brought to 81 Seventh

had done up everyone connected with the

of the regulars and six games were PLAYED
and the champion only made one draw in
the six games. At the same time another
champion, the Philadelphia drummer, looms
up at the Home Hotel, having heard of the
fame of its players. This gentleman defeats
everyone with ease on his rounds,

satchel his checker board and men,
he is always ready for game at the brod;

GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

There was a time, not very long ago,
when ministers gave much more attention
in - ralpit to doctrine than to life. Those
days have passed away. 1t is now very
rare thing that total depravity, the perse-
veraace OF the saints or eternal punishment
are discussed from the pulpit. In the past
score of years the writer has not heard a
sermon on eternal punishment, though this
was a popular theme in his boyhood
1t is question whether ministers Of this
dav any longer believe in the doctrine OF a
future place OF torment Certain 1t Is that
this doctrine is rarely preached. The ter
rors Of the law are not held up by preachers
of this day as they were by those Of the
olden time. The former times were not bet
ter in this respect than these times Mems
fears are rot so much appealed TO now as
conscience and love. and the change IN this
respect is decidedly for The better. The
fear of hell is not likely to make good
peniteut.
