aims, and this also sets a good deal of
coin In motion. as they are purchasing

agent said that be intended TO purchase
500 TO 10000 acres more, IL he could find
what suited him. Ii is the intention 10
locate colony of Hollanders on this
land. II will be sold TO them In s5-acre
tracts. The Holianders have money and
can afford to wait while they clear the
land. They are thrifty people and win
add greatly TO the wealth OF Snohomish

DEMOCRATIC MONEY STOLEN.
A Corruption Fund OF $500. 900 Taken
by the Party Managers.

Chicago. April 4.-The Post prints
sensational story tonight regarding the
disappearance of a 10000 Democratic
campaign fund. The Post states that the
managers of the recent city campaign.
In which the Democratic nominee. Went
or. was defeated. charge his defeat to a
lack of necessary funds. and also charge
that an enormous fund has been appro-
priated by five or six men high In Demo
cratic political circles of the city. The
fund, the Post says, was raised by as
sessment of city hall employees and 9TH
ers. and amounted to about $4,000. The
managers claim TO have positive evil
dence that the fund existed prior 10 the
last election. but say they were unable
TO get any of IL for campaign expenses.
Reputable men of the Democratic party
are said TO have become so thoroughly
aroused over the affair that they VIII en-
deayor to secure an Investigation, ard
promise startling developments.
