VISIONS By REAL ESTATE MEN
OF RICH COMMISSIONS SAD
LY SHATTERED.
Woman Of Alleged Royal LINEAGE Pug.
zles Many Bankers and Law
yers of Seattle.

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct 27.-Half a
dozen bankers of Seattle, few real
estate men and lawyer or two are
looking for mysterious Mrs. Ellen
Mari PrOchdviskey alleged daughter
Of one of the ex-prnces of Hawaii.
widow of sugar magnate of Honolulu
and divorced from prominent Pole or
Laplander of aristocratic lineage. who
posed here for weeks as having a YER
liable mint of money which she was
going to invest in Seattle real estate
and other ventures.
Mrs. Prochdviskey, during short,
but meteOric career in Seattle, led one
or two bankers to believe for a few
minutes at least, that she had almost
untold wealth to her credit in Califor-
MIA and Utah, the result of the sale of
vast mining interests and sugar plan
tations in Hawaii. She confidentially
informed those with whom she did
business that her cousins and other
relatives of the royal blood of the
Hawaiian Islands, were sore and sick
at heart because of the new American
government in the islands and had
sent her TO Seattle to buy Ravenna
Park and start a colony or refuge for
cxpatriated noble Hawaiians.

Buys $4,000 Mortgage.

That the woman did not succeed in
swindling anyone is considered re-
narkable. At the office of Daniel James
& Co, on Cherry street she told her
story and then closed deal for the
purchase of 100000 mortgage on
property at Fourth avenue and Pike
street owned by John b. and Samuel
Wright. She gave two checks in pay
ment of the purchase price but it was
found impossible to cash these at the
bank where Mrs. Prochdviskey said
she intended to store part of her vast
wealth.
A physician in Odessa, according to
statements made by an official of the
Scandina WAN American bank, sold her
$500 worth of elegant furniture, which
was to be paid for by a check drawn
on the mysterious funds that We're
coming from the sugar plantations and
the Utah mines. The National Bank of
Commerce got the check and coldly
returned it to the doctor with the no
LITIGATION no funds. The doctor left
the bill with the Scandinavian Ameri-
can bank, which institution, after Dill
gent effort, failed TO accomplish any
thing with it. Finally the Odessa
man came to Seattle and got his fur
niture back. He did not prosecute the
woman

Wanted Name Changed.


At this stage in the story, which
reads like an early day romance of
Seattle, when Russian barons were
being entertained by the Rainier club,
it is we'll to state, that the Woman's
right name will be Seal, as soon as

lects fee of 81 from the lady and
files a decree which has been signed

him to have her name changed in

nothing and hampered her sadly in her
/ business transactions. Page agreed to

name and that she wanted to be tagged
with the name of Seal, which she stat
ed was the cognomen of a former hus-
band, now deceased.
When Page had obtained the decree
he held it out of the files until he
could collect 81, which he had expend-

failed to accomplish his object, and
would like an interview with the lady
as soon as she can come provided with
money.

The Pipe Goes Out.

An official of the Scandinavian bank,
where Mrs. Seal said she would have
part of her big deposits. said she talked
vaguely of money in California, and
promised several times to open an ac-
count. This she never did. A check
drawn by her on the National bank of
Commerce had come back unpaid. The
woman, it was stated had not victi
mixed anyone. so far as the bank knew.

and the vast sugar plantations on the
isles of the Southern sea, left Mrs.

the vast wealth with which she infiam-
ed the minds of her friends here. But
up to the present Ravenna park is
still intact and the bank accounts OF
the people with whom she sought to do
business have not been seriously
harmed.

A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS x ~

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about year
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed a gold mould is the only cconomi-
cal and efficient mould known to the
art
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
may be made Of harder material.
Hard records last longer and have a
better quality Of tone.
\ gold-mouldcd record made of soft
material would be no better in quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only Gold-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less ex-
pensive than engraved records. The
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded, then shaved. then engraved
from an original The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now, gold-lined mould is made
from the original. and the product Of
that mould is a smoothly finished cyl
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times, hundred times, Il
a thousand times.
a record is not more expensive be-
cause IL is gold-mouldcd.
1t is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records. made by new pro-
cess. They are not only gOld-monided.
They are super-hardened.
Irrespective of price. they are SUI
perior in quality 10 any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only p cents.
We have Just received large ship
ment Of these improved records, max
ing our stock a very complete one.

st. Cloud and the heirs Of the late Mrs Clara
c. Mcclure, also of that city, to recover prop
erty valued at about $500,000.
1t is alleged in the complaint that Mr.. Clarke

In May, 1895. Clarke made an assignment for
the benefit Of his creditors. Bruener petitions
the court to have the agreement entered into

fraudulent and that her estate and the heirs
be held accountable, for the Clarke property fol
the benefit of his creditors. ~ ~

Not Medicine

Liquozone is not made by compound

it. Its virtues are derived solely from
gas--largey oxygen gas-by a process
requiring immense apparatus and IA

than 90 years, been the constant sub

Heavy Copper Shipments.

Copper shipments from local ports are unus-
ually heavy both because the mines max
ing more metal than ever before, and because the
strong demand coupled with the large saving
in freights induce the producers to get their in
gots and cakes from the smelters into the vessels
as rapidly as possible-whle the metal Is still
warm in some cases. ~
Lake navigation whole may not close for
six or seven weeks to come, but all of the cop
per shipping ports located Portage lake
and It's arms, body of water connected
with Lake Superior by both natural and arti-
fetal channels, which freeze earlier than
open bays.
The saving in lake freight as far as Buffalo on
copper destined for the Atlantic seaboard, whence
most Of the copper goes, is about IS ton, as
compared with the all-rail route from Houghton
to New York, and weekly production of
about 1000 tons by local mines, the saving
amounts to large sum.
There is every indication that the coming win
ter will be an active one in the copper trade, as
there Is no surplus metal in sight on either side
Of the Atlantic, and strong demand will mean
that all-rail shipments must be started shortly
after the close Of navigation. and continued
for about five months. thus adding about $780,
900 to the freight bills Of the local mines.

valued at $780, 200, this being considered the
most valuable cargo carried the great lakes

STATE TAXES

SECOND TIME IN THE HISTORY OF
r WISCONSIN,.
Results of Economical Administration
and Large Revenues Shown in Action
of State Board at Madison Only
Tax Will Be that Levied for the
Common Schools.

Special to- The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Noy. 3.-The governor, secre-
tary of state and state treasurer, acting as
state board for the assessment Of taxes, RENTED
all of the state taxes for 1905, that there will
be tax levied in that year for the support of
any of the state Institutions, to meet any of
the state expenses provided for by legislative
appropriations. So
The only tax which will be levied in 1905 will
be what is known the one-mill school tax,
and that will be paid back to the county in pro-
portion to the number of children Of school age
in each county. The amount of the state tax
which was RENTED was $142,5 $40, and it includes
a tax for interest state Indebtedness for free
high schools for the graded schools, for the
university, the normal schools and the capitol
building fund.
This is the second. time in the history of the
state that there has been such a complete re-
mittance of the state tax In remftting 1t,
the state officials We're careful not to impair
in any way the general fund. or to leave the
state without sufficient funds to meet any emer-
gency which may arise in government. At the
same time. they provided literally for all Of the
necessary expenses. a,# f8S
On Oct.s1 the balance in the general fund was
$500, 599.G4.
When the state tax was RENTED last year
for the current year. 1T was not believed that 1t
would be possible to remit the state tax again
for another year, but all departments Of the state
government have been so exacting, and the ordi-
nary revenues have been so Increased over what
they were under former administrat ions, that by
the practice of strict economy and by securing
to the state every dollar due, this is again
possible, and the people Of the state are again
given the benefit Of not having to pay 81 sfor any
state tax .g;94ti4 y
II The sehool-tax levy for 1905 will amount to
81, 0S9, 1888. This is the amount which is to be
raised by taxation. In addition. there is $780,
600 which is taken from the general fund to be
paid for the support Of the common schools,
making total Of 81, 2s9, 1888 which will be dis
tributed among the various counties Of the state
