AFTER THE LOAN SHARKS.
Seattle City Employees Flceced by
Grafters.

Forces at the city hall are at work
devislng some method of fighting the
evil practice existing among city EN-.
ployes Of assigning their salaries to
loan sharks and pawn brokers, who
reap a harvest off the earnings of
those in the city's pay, says the Seat
tie News
This practice is growing at an amaz.
ing rate ana yesterday $50 assignments
for calaries were filed in the comp
troller's office.
Forced by circumstances and eX-
travagant methods of living the city
employees go to the loan sharks ana
upon a 5 per cent per month agree
ment obtain their salary in advance.
From the receipts received at the
city hall yesterday from Barlow &
Reed alone that firm, which has prac-
tically monopoly of the business will
receive nearly $500 in interest on gilt
edge accounts for one month.
These city employees are paying Sc
per cent per year on their warrants
from the city and at present are heav-
lily embarrassed.
Heads of the departments state that
the assigning of salaries had notice
able effect upon the work OF an en-
ploye and that he becomes more neg
ligent and careless in his duties. A
concerted movement will be made by
the heads of departments at the city
hall to remedy the evil. A meeting
informal in character, will be called
this week to take up the matter.

The Best Guaranty Of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi.
cines In a class all bp Themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprej judiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They know what they
are composed OF, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invigorator.
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
TO a place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerIne, OF proper
strength, is a better solvent and preserv-
atiHe OF the medicinal principles resid-
ing In our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol and, further
more, that IL possesses valuable medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antseptic, and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug as will be seen from
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think OF using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the com
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind OF an enlargement
from leading medical writer's Of the
several schools Of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con.
stipation. Constipation Is the cause OF
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One rPellet" is q gentle
laxative, and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing Is "just as
good" Easy TO take as candy.

WESTON PROTESTS.
Normal School Town Objects to Issu-
ance of Liquor License to c. II.
Walters.

The Women's Christian Temperance
citizens of that place have signed an
emphatic protest to the city council
of Weston against the issuance of a
liquor license to C. H. Walters, who
was forced to suspend business there
a short time ago by District Attorney
Phelps.
The protest is numerously signed
and is as follows:
We, the undersigned members of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
and others in sympathy with its work,
do hereby respectfully but emphatic
ally protest against. the recent action
of the Weston city council in granting
license to c. H. Walters to conduct a
saloon in said city.
This action we consider practically
a renewal Of the license of C. H. Wal
ters. against whom several indict-
ments have been found (some OF
which are still pending) for violations
of state and municipal laws in the
selling of liquor.
Further since it has been published
that the prosecuting attorney of
Umatilla county has suspended action
on some of these charges on condition
that said c. H. Walters should go out
of the business, we hereby urge that
said attorney shall take action at once
on said suspended charges.
Believing that the sanctity of our
homes, the purity of our daughters,
the manhood of our sons and the sue
cess of our schools are all endangered
by the saloon traffic in our town, and
by the traffic of said saloon and lodg>
ing house in particular, we hereby
pledge ourselves to earnest efforts to
have such source of unmitigated evil
removed from our midst.
