CHOW Much Is There in It?" II tho
Great Problem.
"Tha.s a gigantic jackpot; only one man
knows how much there is in it and he won't
tell"
That was the remark of man who gazed in
tently at tall glass jar in a store window on
Front street. He was one of constantly chang
ing group, all of whom had their eyes fixed on
the jar. Its power OF attraction rested
in its contents, not ITSELF 1t was
stuffed full TO the Top with that
for which men are daily struggling-money
Dollars and half dollars, eagles, double eagles
aud half eagles, five, ten and twenty dollar
notes were all mixed together, making a total
which would to many be riches, but who knows
how much there is?
Two men could tell by putting their heads
together, but they wont. and this gigantic jack
pot belongs to the person who guesses nearest
to the amount in it. Is is offered by Hyams,
Pauson & Co., of Front and Columbia streets, in
a prize guessing contest among their purchasers
The firm putin the jar an amount known only
TO Julius Reidelsheimer, its manager. Then
Jacob Furth, cashier of the Puget Sound Ma
tionsl bank, filed it up with an amount known
only to him. Make purchase, then guess; it
may make you rich.

SUPERBA LIBEL SUIT.
Miss Seidensticker Wants $40,
600 Damages.
CHARGES sLANDERous STORIES
Hanlon Had Her and Won Rosen Writ
ton Up in the Newspapers-Nord-
strom Sentenced to Be Hanged.

The scandal about Walter Won Rosen and
Miss Carrie Seidensticker, two members OF Hau'
Ions "Superba" company, has led to libel suit
for $4,000 damages, which was begun yesterday
by the lady against William Hanlon in the
superior court OF King county.
The complaint flied in the case alleges that
the plaintiff is single woman, of good moral
character and an actress by profession, and that
Walter Won Rosen is a married man. 1t then
sets out that Hanlon, the defendant furnished
the Portland Orcgonidn with scandalous story
about the plaintiff and Won Rosen, which was
published on March IS. Over it were the startl-
ing headlines: "a Superba Scandai-A Spicy
Theatrical sensation-Walter Won Rosen and
Carrie seidensticker Bring Suit for $4,000
Damages for Defamation of Character"
The newspaper article is quoted in full and
makes up the greater part of the complaint. The
substance of it is as follows:
While the "Superba" company was en- route
70 Portland from California over the Southern
Pacific railway porter N a Pullman car was
witness to conduct on the part of Won Rosen
and Miss Seidensticker that was of a very nm :
becoming nature, A war of words between the
actor and the porter led to the 1atters reporting
the matter to Hanlon and Edward Warner, the
business manager of the company His story
: was that the couple had left the tourist sleep
and taken berth in the Pullman. On the ar
rival of the train at Portland the conductor and
porter OF the sleeper went before a notary
public and made affidavit to what they had
)
70 the lady and Won Rosen that their services
would not be required at the end of that time.
The excuse offered by Miss Seidensticker for her
conduct was that she had gone to Won Rosen's
berth upon an invitation to clean his diamonds
The plaintiff claims that the Article was false
and slanderous and was prompted BY Hanlon
with malicious intent to do her harm. It as
deprived her of employment in her profession
and caused her to suffer great deal of mental
pain and anguish, for which she wishes re-

self knew that the matter had been made public
until 1t came out in the papers. Miss eSeiden-
