Death of Philip Ritz.

On the afternoon OF the 7th instant
Hon. Phillip Ritz died at his home
South of Walla Walla city. For about
ten days he had lain in a comatose
condition, the direct result of an at
tack of paralysis on the right side,
which was superseded by acute heart
trouble of some six months duration.
He died surrounded by his family and
intimate friends, seemingly conscious,
yet unable to make II sign.
He left will giving minute direc-
tions for the management of his large
and varied interests. The family are
left in comfortable circumstances His
life was insured for considerable
amount.
His death excites general regret, and
he was recognized for his great worth
and credited as the father of the fruit
industry east of the Cascades, as well
as one who was ever ready to do all
possible to develop that section of
Washington Territory.
Mr.. Ritz Was aged 62 years, having
been born in Lancaster county, Penn,
in 1927. He came to Placerville, Cal,
August IA, 1850, and to Oregon in
November of the same year, and to
Walla Walla county in November,
1862. In 1852 he was elected school
examiner of Benton county, Oregon.
Going to Walla Walh he started
his well known nursery, which he re-
tanned and took great interest In up to
his last sickness. He was United
States Marshal for the Territory in 1869,
and has ever taken great interest in
public matters and development OF
the country. 1t was through his rep
resentations that engineers were sent
out to inspect the route OF the North
ern Pacific railroad AS early as 1866
he commenced an investigation by ex-
ploration of this Northern route, and
made several trips across the noun
tains, becoming thoroughly impressed
with its importance and feasibility. In
the winter of 1S67-6S he determined
to visit Washington and there urge
this matter, having to cross the
mountains in mid-winter for that pur-
pose.
In March, 1868, at the instance of the
Northern Pacific railroad directors, he
issued pamphlet in Washington on
the agricultural and mineral resources
of the Northwest Territories, which
was printed and placed upon the table
of every member of Congress, and
otherwise extensively circulated, and
which had great deal to do with the
construction of the present transcon'
tinental railroad.

Smallpox Preventative.

CAPTAIN COVE TELLS OF HIS EXPERT
ENcE AND GIVES SOME GOOD HINTS.
Yes, sir, l should say l did have
the smallpox, and you can see by my
face that had it bad too, though
was only twenty-five ut the time"
The speaker Was Captain Cove, owner
of large fleet of Puget Sound steam
boats.
He continued: al caught the
smallpox from n corpse. The mate Of
a vessel died while We were lying in
Charleston. He was put in a metallic
coffin and slowed in the hold to be
taken home. When the coffin was
taken from the hdle is when was ex-
posed and was soon confined to my
home and came very nearly dying
there. 1 can, therefore, speak from
actual experience when give q little
advice that may prove beneficial to
your readers. Smallpox can be arrest
ed after its first symptoms have ap-
peared. The first symptom is a
small sharp pain in the small Of the
back. If the one so affected will i'm
mediately take strong dose OF physic
and afterwards hot bath and then
submit to a wholesome system of diet
ing the smallpox symptoms will dis
appear. Give the children cream of
tartar in generous doses, and give it
to the old folks too. 1t will cleanse
the blood and bead off the fever.
These rules were practiced by our
old family physician at home with
remarkable success. He was the
only doctor in the place who could
handle smallpox. When l had the
disease my three sisters had it also
and my mother nursed us all. She
had practiced the rules l had given
you and threw off the disease every
time though she had unmistakable
symptoms five or six times while nurs-
ing us children"

Don't advertise unless you have
something worth buying. A great
many think advertising alone is suf-
ficient. This is nearly as bad an error
as to suppose that having the goods is
sufficient alone. This reminds us OF u
little story we once heard of boy who
was sent out in the summer with a
bag of green corn to sell. The boy
was gone all day and returned with
the bag unopened, which he dumped
on the floor, saying: "There is your
corn, go and sell it yourseli-I can't"
" Sold any," "No" said the boy
/" I've been all over the city with it,
and nobody said anything about green
corn. Two ,r three fellows asked me
what I'd st in my bag and l told
them it WA none OF their business. f"
The boy reminds lis OF some business
men we know of, who do not recog-
nize the benefits OF advertising.

PROSPECTS GROWING BRIGHTER.
The Gentleman In Charge Still Work
Ing acknowledgements Soon to

a TIMES representative recently
had a conversation with gentleman
of this city, who is deeply interested
in the success of the Roanoke and
Southern railroad, and was highly
gratified at the prospects. Because
the gentlemen in charge of the under
taking have not said much, it does
not follow that they have done moth
ing. On the contrary, the chances
for building the road were never
brighter, and, besides that, other
roads will no doubt soon be reaching
out in this direction. There was u
time when there were not more than
5000 or 5000 people in this city when
there was danger that the road could
not be built. Had Roanoke then
stood still. instead of advancing,
capitalists would have been afraid to
invest in the scheme, but with 10000
population and the livliest and most
enterprising people in the state among
it's citizens, there is nothing to fear.
Some cities, like some men, have
greatness thrust upon them and seize
the opportunity to make the most OF
it, which is just what Roanoke is now
doing. The greatness within her
grasp she is going to make the most
of, and in due time she will be
second to no city in this common
wealth or section.

bank

Frederick Warde in ''The MOuntc-
bank
Frederick Warde, the distinguished
tragedian, will present this play at
the opera house on Tuesday night.
The Pittsburg Post says:
Fred Warde opened his engagement
at the Grand opera house last night
in his new version of an old standard
play, 'Belphegor,' which he calls
THE Mountebank.n 1t is needless TO
say that he was excellent in the tragic
passages. He has shown his power in
such work so often that he has an
acknowledged place among the best
tragedians of our day. 1t was in the
earlier portion of THE Mountenank, +"
however, that Mr. Warde proved how
accomplished he was as a comedian as
we'll as tragedian. There is marked
strain of domestic feeling throughout
the earlier scenes of The Mounte-
bank wherein Mr.. Warde seemed to
be thoroughly at home. The story is
a simple one. A strolling player, Bel
phegor, is married to Il woman who,
unknown to him, is his superior in
station.
Her wealthy relatives plot against
his domestic happiness and take away
his wife. True manhood overcomes
the Vaccinations of the INSCRIPTIONS
friends and the curtain falls upon n
reunited family. The character is cast
in that heroic mold which suits the
tragedian so well. The company were
all strong, and did careful and meri-
toriouS work.
