Mrs. Ida Harvey Borrows Money On
Her Home to Buy City Property and
Then Loses Money and Home to
ShreWd Men

Mrs Ida S. Harvey lost her suit
against Q. NJ Sparks and Robert r.
Crow to recover contract in which
lot 8, block ., in Heath's subdivision
10 the city of Spokane, was involved
and upon which she had paid $500.
The case came up before Judge Ken
nan and he decided she had forfeited
her right to the property. \ review
of the suit reveals the disadvantage
woman is subjected to in sharp
practices.
Mrs, Harvey entered into a contract
20 buy the house March l6, 1904. and
mortgaged her little home in Occur
Alene City to secure money to meet
the first payment upon the Ermina
avenue house.
The business was done through the
agency of o. NJ. Sparks. real estate
man, who represented Robert r.
Crow, the owner. The contract call
ed for $500 down and $25 per month
until the $4,000, the price agreed upon,
was paid.

After making the first payment she
was notified in April that the next
date of payment would fall upon
May Is. a few days elapsed when
she went to pay the s25 and the
amount was refused with the state
ment that she had broken the con-
tract and that thereby she forfeited
the money she had paid in.
Every attempt made by Mrs Har-
vey toward settlement has met with
failure and to cap the climax the law
to which she resorted to as "A source

Mrs. Harvey loses the property in
Heath's addition, and the land in

case where I think some Of the tax
payers money is running away The
water office does and has for months
employed men to go from house to
house to find small leaks in plumbing
and house water pipes. I know a
case where lately one of these gen.
tlemen detectives went to a house
in the Fourth ward and found a
very small leak in the kitchen sink
faucet. Notice was given that, under
penalty, this leak would have to be
tended to within five days. The leak
was such that altogether it would not
have amounted to more than one or
two gallons in "a hours. At the rate
of Is cents per 1000 gallons the city's
cents worth in two or three years
The house where this happened pays
s27 year for water and ] suppose
the detective gets about $3.50 a day
for his work. Now here comes the
financial part of it: Lately the city
has employed a New York expert at
s25 a day with lot of other expenses
mains. This fellow found that about
100000 gallons of water run way
every "a hours through defective
mains There is at the present time
and has been for years a leak above
Firth avenue that runs a stream of
water into the ponk on Fifth avenue
and Sherman street that could not
possibly be forced through two
inch pipe; hundreds of thousands of
gallons have gone that way. Now
why does not the water office, in
place of sending men to hunt needle
In haystack, give those fellows
picks and shovels and let them dig up
the mains and stop the big leaks?
The reason is obvious-it's harder
work, and there is not such a good
chance of electrioneering; but it GER
tainly would be more business like.
It's burning shame that our beau
tlful city's finances are in the hands
of men that actually are not fit to
run a sixteenth grade junk shop. It's
one way the money is wasted have
no doubt there are thousands more
Let it be the task of The Press, sup
ported by every good citizen, to dig
them up. Yours.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

horrible crime was committed at Ottawa,
Monday night. Some unknown person entered
room in Mrs. Eta Semple's sanitarium, and,
with an AK, crushed the skull of Mrs Caroline
Jobes, OF Wellsville, who was patient in the
sanitarium. Mrs. Jobes' body was terribly
mutilated with knife in the hands of the
iend. Strange to relate, the woman is still
alive, and may recover...
The room which Mrs Jobes occupied was
Mrs. Semple's private room, and it was on the
ground floor, but, probably on account of Mrs.
Jobes' age (sixty.two years., Mrs. Semple gave
up her room to the patient and she went to
room upstairs. 1t is thought the fend intend.
ed to kill Mrs. Semple.
The affair is still surrounded with mystery,
but suspicion points to former patient by the
name of Livingstone, Hebrew degenerate,
who was "queer," and who left the sanitarium
in rage some time ago because Mr.. Semple
had been advised to get rid of him, and she
acted upon the advice. At least, this Is the
theory advanced by the officers.

When private citizen makes an investment
in a productive piece Of property that is cer-
tain to return good income on the invest
ment, no one is heard warning him that he is
running in debt recklessly, or induging in
gloomy forebodings about prospective ruin as
the result of "mortgaging his property" But
let it be proposed for the city to invest in a
plant that is bound to pay big interest on the
investment, and the croakers at once begin to
whine about running the city in debt" The
time will come when it will be thought just AS
wise thing for the city to own productive
property as it is for an individual. The Lon

Getting Rich Not All.

Topeka Capital.
When man starts in on farm with moth.
ing, and becomes rich it means very often that
he has denied himself every pleasure of life
save that of boarding money, and that his wife
has been denied even that. John Kucera,
Bohemian, came 10 this country twenty years
ago He worked on farm in Sumner county
tor twenty FIVE cents a day. He now owns
three quarter-section of land and has money in
the bank. When he went home from town
one day recently, he found his wife and sons
gone There had been no quarrel The hard
ships OF shaving away day after day in order to
add to .Kuceras wealth had worn them out
body and spirit. They had helped aniass his
fortune, aud had never been permitted to enjoy
one cent OF it. They existed meery to satisfy
Kucera's greed for money This side OF the
story is often overlooked when it is told of
man that cimed from poverty to afl fence by
hard work and self.denial. Too often, the lust
tor gain grows on man until he forget his
duty to his wife aud family and to his Maker

fight on him, aud, for the time, caused him
to cease operations But reaction has come,
and the oil-producers have written him, asking
him to return TO Kansas and again take up the
fight; and there is little doubt that he will re-
