"a word to the wise is sufficient
This generally proves true, but either
our city authorities are not OF this
class orwe have not warned wisely.
At any rate our. former declarations
and assertions about the principal
streets and the back alleys of our
town have been simply wasted
BREATH" Last spring the News men,
TONED that the town was in very
bad condition regarding health regu-
lations. Nothing was done to better
the condition, and during the hot
weather last summer and this fall we
have reaped the full benefit of the
folly. Most all the sickness and fe-
vers this year, if not all, in Ritzville
was caused mainly through the I'M
healthy condition of the town as a
whole. The town authorities are d.
rectly responsible for all the cases OF
fevers and sickness that have been in
Ritzville this year. Certainly this is
great responsibility for any one. II
the horrible unsanitary condition of
this town would lightly impress itself
upon the minds IF our authorities we
might hope, bat they seem to have
prejudiced ideas about economy and
expense; but if they realized the fact
that our graveyard is filling nearly as
fast as our town things might be diff
fsrent.

GOLD SEEKERS ASHORE.
Steamer Corous, For Alaskan Ports, on
the Rocks Near Skeena River.

Steamer Corous, For Alaskan Ports, on
the Rocks Near Skeena River.
NANA1Mo, B, c., Jan. 3i.-The steam.
ship Danube arrived at Departure bay
during the evening, bringing news of
the wreck of the steamer Corona, from
Seattle Jan. 20, with 245 passengers
aboard. The Corona struck a rock near
the mouth of Skeena river and at once
commenced to sink. Lifeboats were
lowered and the passengers were con.
veyed to the beach Of the Skeena river.
The steamer Al-Ki went to the rescue.
She is now on her way south with the
unfortunate goldseekers.
The Corona struck the rock on Tues
day morning, bow on, and is nov lying
with stern submerged. It is feared
that the Corona will prove a total
wreck and the whole of her cargo will
be lost. 1t is also reported that the
Union Steamship company's steamer
Coquitlan was wrecked on the Skeena
river.
The Corona was a screw propeller,
220 feet long, IS feet beam, . feet 5
inches hold, built in Philadelphia in
1888, and has been running on the
coast ever since. She was a 15.knot
boat and was equipped with all mod.
ern Improvements.
This was to have been the last trip
for the Corona, as she was to have been
transferred to the Southern California
division on her return.

branch of the soldiers national home.
1t is intended that the Hot Springs
branch shall be used more in the nature
OF a sanltarlum than as a regular home.
1t will be a sick mans camp, and as fast
as they are cured, the inmates will be
transferred to other homes in order that
other sufferers may come and be benefit
ed.

grand ball February i, to raise fluids for
their work. The work of DR.. Clark.

Hot Spring
Both OF the senators from Illinois will
support the measure. and the work upon
the representatives from the state is &C
ing on increasingly. Half of Vermont's
delegation in congress will support the
measure, and representative Circuit is ex-
pected every day to be captured. From
New York, too, comes word that Repre-
sentative Llttaner VIII support Hot
Pprlngs. Iowa is coming to the front ia
good shape and almost the entire delega-
ton IN congress from that state is ia
favor of Hot Springs.

President Mckinley was not long in
hearing from the senate in answer to his
New York banquet statement that he
would break the contract to pay the
%bondholder in dearer money than he
bargained for. This same proposition
was brought up three times in as many
different forms by Senators Lodge, For.
aker, and Spooner, in amendments to the
Teller resolution, Friday, and every time
they were voted down by nearly a two
thirds majority, Lodges gold standard
amendment being defeated by a vote of
SO to -. no form of amendment tend
ing to bind the L. S. to the payment of
its obligations ID gold could find any
standing in the senate and the Teller, or
Stanley Mathews resolution, reiteratipg
the nations pledge to pay it's obligations
In gold or silver dollars at its option, the
latter containing Apo grains, was car
rled 10y the very decisive vote of II to
81. MIR. Mckinley voted for this same
resolution originally and it would seem
MS ii his conscience must have been
pricked somewhat by this reminder of
his pledge to the people which he has
now deliberately stated be is willing to
violate to rob the people and give to the
b~ond-holder. Honesty is the best policy,
even fol an administration, after all.

When Philadelphia Was the Greatest City
In the American Colonies.

When Philadelphia Was the Greatest City
In the American Colonies.
In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti-
mates of the population, which are all
we have, differ widely, but it was prob
ably not far from 30, 600. A single city
now has a larger population than all
the colonies possessed in 1774, and there
are in the United States today 104 cities
and towns IT over 30, 600 inhabitants.
Figures alone, however, cannot express
thr difference between those days and

concerned. 1t was not SO in 1174, not
even IN Philadelphia, which was as
nearly as possible the central point of
the colonies as well as the most popu-
lous city.
Thanks to the energy and genius OF
Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light
ed and ordered in a way almost unknown
in any other town of that period. 1t
was well built and thriving. Business
was active, and the people were thrifty
and prosperous and lived we'll. Yet, de-.
spite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort Of the imagination to re-
alize how quietly and slowly life moved
then in comparison to the pace Of today.
There in Philadelphia was the center
OF the postal system Of the continent,
and the recently established mail coach
called the ''Flying Machine" not in
jest but in praise, performed the jour.

equaled time Of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels Of the coast

into port at uncertain times and after
