The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-03-23

age yet be was world wide known
and gave evidence of gaining even
more fame in the future had not
his life been cut short than he had
already. His remains were
sent to Illinois for interment.
George E. Cotterill, like the
parrot, has talked too much, view
ing it from a Republican stand
point, and, for that reason, he finds
it very agreeable to leave the
civil engineers department of the
City of Seattle. While candi-
date for mayor hesaid many things
that were anti-Republican and
having lost in the fight it is
but natural that he would feel out
OF place. Mr.. Cotterill has re-
signed and the same will take
effect April LIST. Be il said to his
credit that, he knew more about
the workings of the engineers
department than any other man
connected with the office, and his
services will be sorely missed by
Mr.. Thompson, his chief. Mr..
Cotterill is civil engineer and not
politician, and. if he desires to
succeed as the former he will have
to give up the latter. He will go
into business on his own hooks.
Major W. V. Rinehart, despite
the adverse criticism since he has
been president Of the city council
for the past two years, was unani-
mously reelected to the same
position last Monday night, which
makes him acting mayor Of the
city in the absence of the mayor.

'I'll cash my own check" must
have been the words of the sneak,
who went into the First National
bank last Monday at noon and
swiped a wad. Unobserved he
slipped behind the counter and
snatched a roll of bills, the exact
amount of which, the bank officials
have kept to themselves, and made
bold and successful break for
freedom. He succeeded right
well, and he has so we'll covered
his tracks since then, that he is
still at large. This was the most
daring robbery that Tom Humes-
ism has as yet brought to the city
and being committed at the hour
of IL o'clock, when escape seemed
almost impossible, makes it all the
more miraculous.
waiting for the first Nome
boat out" is the slogan of great
many persons now in Seattle. The
streets are packed with strangers
by day and by night, and all
waiting to get transportation to
the frozen North in the hope of
striking it rich" during the five
months that work can be success
fully done in Nome's frozen sands.
Already the Dawson City denizens
have begun the mad rush over the
Ice to Nome in order to beat the
other mad rush from Seattle there,
and, according to reports from
there, the trails leading to Nome
from Dawson are literally lined
with dead dogs that have been
killed on the road by wreckless
drivers. While there may not be
$4,000 persons 60 to Nome by the
way Of Seattle this coming season,
yet there will be many hundreds
OF them and perhaps thousands.
The Seattle hotels are all now
crowded as though a great politi-
cal convention were on in the city
with Nomers, and the luggage Of
all Of them is briefly marked,
"Nome."
Tacoma's Is to l politicians have
decided that William Jennings
Bryan can not speak in Seattle
while touring the Northwest, and
the local 16 to l advocates are as
mad as wet hens over the matter.
Tacomaites seem badly troubled
with the ''hoging' disease at
present.
