WATCH THE SCHOOL FUND.-When
you learn of Seattle voting bonds,
keep your eye on the State school

you, however. 1t is said that city

Exposition. The taxpayers of Wash.

they feel helpless. The climax may
be reached, one of these days in Sc.

many respects public exposisions are
all right. but occasionally there are
Interior motives behind the unde:.
takings to bulge special capitalistic
interests, in which the average middle

heavily to promote. 1t might be ad-
visable for the statesmen OF this young
commonwealth to occasionally con-

ANOTHER OF SEArrLE's HoRRoRs-

ANOTHER OF SEATTLE's HORRoRs.-
What is Seattle coming to in the
persistent sacrifice of human life by
the vangeful hand Of Murder? An
other victim is recorded this week in
the deliberate shooting OF Jesse NJ.
Hall, real estate agent, by William
Constantine, his father-in.law. That
the six shots did not produce imme.
date death is not due to the intent of
the sssailant but to his faulty aim.
The matter OF life or death is still on
the balance, with chances against re-
covery: II seems that the marriage OF
the victim and Myra Constantine Was
against the wishes Of the family, but
that had become reconciled and the
pair were living 1t the Constantine
home. They had frequent quarrels,
however, and IL was after one of these,
last Saturday, that the daughter told
her father that Hall had threatened
to apply for q divorce. From that
time till Tuesday morning, when the
shooting took place, Hall was denied
admission to the house. On that day
it seems the anger OF the girls father
overcame all bounds, and be lay in
wait for his son in law in the corridor
OF the building where he has his Office,
and on his appearance fired all the
shots in his revolver at him, three
taking effect. This is another case OF
prcmeditated assault, with intent to
kill, that will probably be passed over
a. emotional insanity. Seattle is fast
assuming the pace in many things and
becoming noted for less meritorious
traits than unprecedented enterprise.

STENsLAND, who stole $400, 600, has
been given an indeterminate" sen.
tence. on two counts, one for embez.
element and the other violation OF
the banking law. Besides paying a
small sum as penalty for the latter
offense, the receiving of $50 in deposits
after the bank was insolvent, imprison.
ment may follow. The sentence of
imprisonment as embezzler may be
from one to ten years and on the latter
count from one to five years, which
applied concurrently cannot impose a
longer term than ten years. Thus i.

There Were Millions in IT,

Aiiiong the objects of interest visited
by tho writer in Seattle, last week,
under the hospitable guidance of Mr..
s. l.. Crawford, was the assay office,
where bullion by the millions dollars
worth is dumped by the incoming
steamers from the northland. A truck
was standing at the sidewalk ready to
transfer one and q half millions of
dollars in bars for shipment to our
Eastern mint. The privilege of lift
ing one of the boxes, con tanning
small multiple of the millions, was
futile, and illustrated how fearfully
hampered would be the man owning
even single million in gold, if he was
not protected by the strong arm of the
law. An ingot, or brick" of solid
gold, weighing $4,000, exposed with
many others OF smaller as we'll as
larger size and weighing nearly so
pounds, was about all an ordinary
man would carry off expeditionsly on
a wager. One side of the large room
devoted to extracting the ore from,
quartz and refractory rock, were cruci-
bles OF all sizes in which the ore is ex.
posed to . heat under draft fame that
rivals the most vivid pictures Of inferno
aud beside them the heavy iron molds
in which the ingots are cast.
The amount OF business done at
this branch of Uncle Sans money
supplying machinery, is enormous.
From the 18th of July to the Goth of
September, about $l2,O0O,OOO had
passed through this gateway to the
minis, and it is estimated that the
total for the year will reach $25,0O0,.

COUNTY TICKET.
A Day Of Reckoning May Come.

Notwithstanding the defeat of the
Seattle municipal ownership bonds, at
the recent special election held in
that city, the returns show q strong
sentiment in favor of the proposition.
The opponents were aided by the
Socialists, who kept aloof from the
fight, because they did not propose TO
aid any cspitalistic experiment OF vot-
ing funds, which would tend to build
up the interests of a favored class,
who might, on account of cheap car
fares, assist landlords in the city,
especially in the outlying districts, by
increasing rentals to the laboring
class.
It is undoubtedly true that many OF
the men who opposed public owner
ship had Heretofore unconsciously
aided the proposition by encouraging
the voting of bonds for other projects
and at the same election kindled fire
that cannot be easily extinguished.
Unless q halt shall be called, the is.
suance of bonds by the great city may
in the future prove detriment to its
growth. The time will come when
there must be an adjustment of bal
ances. This country experienced one
period of depression in recent years.
The pendulum may swing again that
way. This paper will have to be re.
deemed or repudiated. 1t would not
appear we'll, when, if such q period
shall arrive, the State school fund
needing money, should attempt to
dispose Of such paper, and it should
then be learned that the same had no
value in the money markets of the
country and that our school system has
suffered irrepsrably.
Since the Attorney Generals opin-
ion pronounced the 100000 light
bonds to be invalid. it appears that the
park securities issued under similar
circumstances in the sum of $500, 600,
fall in the same category, because the
ordinances submitting the PROPOSE
tions in both instances we're passed at
an adjourned meeting OF the City
Council of Seattle. From reliable re-
ports, other bonds OF this burg are
likewise affected. Would it not be
we'll to ascertain the condition OF other
bonds of Seattle now held by the
Slater An investigation might prove
OF great benefit to the citizens and
taxpayers, enabling them to take an
inventory of their assets and liabilities,
and 60 at a slower pace in the future
regarding running into debt. and
avert any possible injury to innocent
purchasers of any of that city's bonds.

a Race-War Seemed Imminent.

A reign of terror existed IN Atlanta,
Ga, for four days last week, on account
of negro uprising induced by sum
mary vengeance dealt out to several
negroes who had assaulted white wo-
men. There were about 10000 ne
groes arrayed against 10000 white
people, all armed and excited through
passions aroused by the events that
had passed in such rapid succession
as to institute a veritable race-war.
The conflict began at 10 o'clock Satur.
day night, and by Sunday morning it
became evident that the militia, police
and citizens could not longer prevent
a general outbreak. Then the State
troops were called on, the negroes dis
armed and it was speedily made evi.
dent to the disorderly whites and the
vengeful blacks that further violations
of law would be met with swift and
terrible punishment. Public meetings
had been held, and disposition ex-
pressed to aid the officers in the most
stringent means for restoring order.
A Calling gun was mounted, and it be-
came evident that no further leniency
would be extended to either side and
that disorder would be crushed at any
cost.

men, one negro woman and one white
