A MADMAN
Walks Into thc Neil House and Demands
a Steamboat Bound for Chile.

COLUMBUS, O., January 17.-Wild In
mien and fantastic in dress was
the lunatic who last night rush
ed into the Office Of the West
era Union Telegraph Company on High
street and demanded to be allowed to
send dispatch to Cuyahoga county.
On his head was Scotch cap, en-
broidered in front with stars and an
chors. He raved incoherently about the
Chilean war, and declared that he had
Just seen Governor Mckinley about the
affair.
From papers he exhibited It was as
certained that he had escaped from the
Central Insane Asylum and the police
were telephoned for.
Before they arrived he dashed out
and into the Neil House, where he
seized the register and inscribed in 1t
the name Jasper Napoleon Fritz.
Leaning over, he asked Clerk Tom
Broadfoot where he could get steam
boat bound for Chile. In the lobby was
a gentleman in a half bejagged condi-
tion and the lunatic picked him out as
q talking mark.
While they were engaged in debate
the police arrived and seized Jasper Ma
poleon. much to the surprise of Colonel
Jag, who took him for naval officer.
The Insane Asylum people reported
him as dangerous lunatic. His real
name is Frank Fritz, and his people
live In Columbus. Some years ago he
entered Cleveland hotel, and, after
asking the clerk the rates, reached over
the counter and shot him dead.
Upon ascertaining this fact Clerk
Broadfoot and those who had enjoyed
the lunatic's conversation resolved
themselves into a heart disease club
and turned as pale as new mown milk.

Full OF Good Points Where to InvesS
Your Money.
Recently a New York syndicate pur.
chased $3.50. 600 worth of land in this
Northwest. The syndicate was formed by
one of Boston's most conservative capital
lists. 1t is only few weeks ago that we
sold to a San Francisco capitalist business
property on Second street to the amount
of sl27,500. We have inquiries from other
investors for much larger amounts. This
shows the way the wind is blowing. The
Puget Sound Country. especially Seattle,
is good place to invest money, and East.
ern people are taking advantage of it. The
completion of the Great Northern railway
will bring moneyed men here. They want
good property that pays an income, and il
you can buy today we can sell in the
future at a good profit for you. Some
holders must sell. We have income prop
erty to suit any amount you have--S2, 900
to $4,000. This is business property.
Choice residences, 81 900 to $4,000. Lots
for building at prices that are genuine
bargains. No trouble to show the prop.
erty. If you don't want to build now, il
will be good investment to purchase
while bargains can be had. Come and
talk with US.

been for some time committing depreda-
tions along the docks. A few nights ago
tho dock at Alder street was robbed of a
considerable quantity of goods brought
there to be shipped on the steamer
Mascot. Tho gates to the storeroom
were locked In the evening, but next
morning tho merchandise was found to be
gone. There was no indication rs to
how the thieves got into the place,
and for time the detectives were
puzzled. Finally they ascertained that the
plunderers had gone in boat under
the wharf. knocking off one of the floor
planks. They then loaded their boat with
all 1t would hold, and, replacing the plank
in its proper position, rowed away. The
stolen goods were found hidden in an old
house down the river, half a mile from the
