MANY OF HER PROSPECTIVE
HUSBANDS ARRIVE IN EVER
EFT TOO LATE.
Correspondent With Many Men in the
State of Washington Asking for
Personal Interviews.

EVERETT, May 19.-The manage
ment of at least one Everett restaur-
ant, together with the proprietors of
the Merchants hotel, are Vainly ask
ing themselves whether Mrs. Elenor
Seton, erstWhile one of Everett's pro-
fessionaI nurses, will come back and
deliver to them certain coin of the
realm which they assert is owing
them. Mrs. Seton left for parts un-
known about three weeks ago. and she
has not been heard from since.
1t is reported that the expected visit
of a dozen or so prospective husbands
was the cause of her sudden departure
One at a time would have been all
right, but when it came to have them
appear in drOVes, there was nothing to
it but precipitate flight. The aspirants
to her heart and hand knew nothing of
this and shortly after her departure
the proprietors of the Merchants no.
tel and the restaurants where she had
been accustomed to board were kept
busy answering queries as to her
whereabouts, made by numerous dis
appointed long distance lovers.

Mrs. Seton gravitated into Everett
from Monroe, where, for five weeks,
she enjoyed the distinction of being
head nurse in the hospital at that
place. A love for the cup that cheers
is said to have been her undoing in
that place. So she came to Everett,
secured a room at the Merchants hotel,
and inaugurated her residence in the
City of Smokestacks by going on a
prOtracted spree. Then she settled
down. and for two months she enjoy
ed prosperity 1t is generally admitted
that she is a first class nurse. She
has letters of recommendation. notably
from Senator Alger of Michigan. Her
conversation shows that she is a
woman who has Travelled extensively
both in this country ana in Europe.
that she has an excellent education.
and that she has unusual natural abili-
ty. But she does like booze"
Her matrimonial ambitions first be-
came known about five weeks ago. An
attorney by the name of Rogers. sup
posedIy from Bellingham, at least that
was the name given, appeared at the
Merchants hotel and was announced
as the fair nurses prospective hus-
band. This was on Sunday. He took
the bride-elect to supper. Later Mrs.
Seton called up Mrs. Gallagher, land
lady at the Merchants hotel to inform
her of the approaching nuptials also
to get a little advice as to the advis-
ability of such an undertaking. Mrs
declined to give any advice

Mr.. Mowers Withdrawal.

The following is from the Sumter
Herald:
Hon. Gorge S. Mower has with
drawn from the race for the state sem
ate in Newberry county, and the con-
test is now between Messrs. Cole. L.
Blease and Arthur Kibler. 1t is dis
tinctlv to be regretted that Mr. Mower
has taken this action. His county
and state suffer great loss in being
deprived of his valuable services.
Whichever his successor may be OF the
two candidates named. may do as well
as Mr.. Mower in the senate, though
we doubt it. They can not do better.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Feb. A $50, 900, 900
mortgage to secure a bond issue OF
an equal amount was fled by the
Western Pacific Railway Company
with County Recorder Meeks this aft
ernoon. The papers were fled by L.
H. Farnsworth, cashier Of the Walker
Bros Bank and agent in Utah for the
Western Pacific company. The pro-
ceeds of the bond issue are to be used
for the purchase of existing railroads
and the construction of a new road
between Salt Lake and San Francisco.
The enterprise is generally believed to
be backed by George j. Gould and
John d. Rockefeller. 1t is believed
the filing of the mortgage is prelim-
mary to active construction work all
along the line.
The Western Pacific is looked upon
as the westernmost link of George
system. 1t will connect at Salt Lake
with the Rio Grande Western.
The mortgage is made to the Bowl
ing Green Trust Company, trustee. 1t
is first mortgage on the railroads
and terminals acquired and on the en-
tire system, with branches hereafter
to be built. The mortgage is dated
September 1, 1903. The bonds are for
thirty years, bearing interest at per
cent The mortgage was fled here be-
cause the Western Pacific is a Utah
corporation.
Although Gould has given an eva
sive denial that he Is connected with
the road, it is known that Gould men
are directing the operations from be-
hind the scenes Virgil G. Bogue,
who is Gould's consulting engineer. has
exercised general supervision over the
surveys so far made. Other Gould
men have figured quietly in the work
from time to time.
