A UNITY OF INTEREST.

Each business man has an interest
in every business enterprise establish
ed in the place where he resides, and
the strength OF the community de-
ponds largely upon its unity OF Interest
which is manifested for the general
welfare Of the public. More particu-
larly SO is this. 5the of new cities and
towns where the common motive OF
individual action should be for indi-
vidual advancement regardless of the
special advantages and sectional diff
ferences which may exist. These
conditions exist more or less in every
city and town in the land. We find
some who are ever willing to further
private ends by classifying their neigh
boris works.
This plan OF action is not right,
and also is it unsafe and insecure. An
honest man who deals fairly and
squarely with the public, needs no
recommendation. His daily works
are the stepping stones which lead
to fairer fields for future gan, while
the business man who seeks to adj
vance by public denunciation OF a
competitors acts, fails to win that
universal confidence OF mankind
through which channels the tide cf
success must flow.
We all have II common interest in
the advancement of this town. We
have invested our means and estab-
lished our various lines of business in
this place, and the more universal the
improvement the more profitable be-
comes the investment. A farmer de-
string to draw a load ofgrain to market
may test the relative value of his
horses by hitching one team to the
front OF the wagon, to pull one way,
and another to the rear of the wagon
to draw the opposite way, but the fact
remains demonstrated that if the rela-
tive strength of each team be equal
the load Of grain will still remain UNI
marketed as long as the experiment
is used, and the same result is true OF
local conditions in cities and towns.
In Ritzville we have unity OF in
terest in the advancement of the town
and the country in general, and the
only sensible manner of deriving profit
from the same is by all taking hold
with earnestness and readiness, pull.
ing in the same direction for the com.
mon welfare OF all, knowing that any.
thing which benefits our neighbor
adds to the common good, and is
therefore beneficial to ourselves.

We represent the great Autograph

of St Louis, one Of the largest estab-
lishments of its kind in the world.
We therefore take orders for any kind

for any kind of business. The prices

The handsomest and. most costly
residence in Adams county is that OF
Christopher F. Clodius, the retired
lumber merchant, 1t is located on
the corner of First and z streets one
block east OF the court house. The
building is three-story and contains
fourteen rooms. Besides large hall,
fine bath room and splendid cellar in
the basement, there are numerous
wardrobes, pantry and store room.
Kimple 4 Soesbe were the contractors
and 8. G. Scheuerle did the artistic
painting and papering, and all the
workmanship is first-class. Mr.. Clodius
and family have a beautiful home
which shows his enterprise and faith
in the county and is credit to our
young city.
Mrs. Ella c. Whittlesey, a former
resident OF this city, arrived here from
Spokane Sunday and will visit her
daughter, Mrs. w. w. Gent, and
friends for a few days, then proceeding
to her home at Mission, WASH, where
she has been engaged as principal OF
the schools at that place. The lady
holds life certificate and is consider
ed one OF the best educators in the
state, having spent the best years Of
her life in the school room. After
teaching number Of successful terms
in the Ritzville public school she fol-
lowed the work in Douglas county
until her husband, ]. b. Whittlesey,
died there about two years ago. Mr..
W. was an old pioneer; was the first
sheriff of Adams county, afterwards
treasurer two terms and for number
of years was N. P. depot agent. Mrs.
w. expressed surprise at the growth
OF our city in the past year.
Pat McGrath, section foreman of
the N. p, the other day brought in a
specimen OF genuine Russian thistle,
the first seen in this section, but from
its size it is evident that Adams coun-
ty soil is very favorable to its growth.
The Russian thistle or tumble weed
as it is sometimes called, is more
harmful than most other weeds from
the fact that it spreads SO rapidly. II
is bushy and of rank growth, and when
it ripens becomes dry and crisp. break
ing of at the root, and the wind car
ries it over the country, scattering
the seed everywhere and often spread
ing fires which destroy the products
and homes of settlers. The thistle
has caused many hardships in the
states of Nebraska, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and others, where the land
has become so thickiy seeded that
laws have been enacted compelling
farmers and land owners to gather
and destroy it by fire at the rilening
period as Mr.. McGrath did with the
specimen mentioned.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HIS ORA
nnp1nC

CHARACTERISTICS OF HIS ORA
TORIOS.
What, then. are the characteristics of
these new oratorioS?
Chiefly, one notes the absence OF set
recitatives and airs, and the prepon-
derance of irregular phrases, either
fluent or declamatory, designed to en-
force the meaning and sentiment OF the
words delivered by the soloists. Some
times these are supported for aWhle
by a consistent instrumental figure;
sometimes the accompaniment Is more
! undecided in shape; sometimes II
verges on the amorphous The works
are divided into parts, and each part
shows an abundance OF sections WHICH,
although full closes are frequent, are
intended to follow one another without
a break. The choruses, many OF Whlch
have Gregorian foundation, give the
works their chief grandeur, and must
needs be most moving in performance.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George d. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been SO helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bhters. she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work" This

quickly cures nervousness, sleepIess-

working medicine is godsend to weak,

Re.Assessnent.

The next important public mat
ter that will be attended to is the re-
valuation of the real estate. The
Commissioners for that purpose
have been appointed and this coun-
ty is to be congratulated upon the
choice made for her. They are
both capable, co lservative and fair
minded men, and will perform their
duties to the best of their abilities
The task before them however is
no easy one. AS COON as they be.
gin work they will be offered no
end of advice, for no two citizens
will agree upon the same course to
be pursued. Some will insist upon
a very high valuation, while others
will contend that to place low
valuation would be the better plan,
If taxes for county purposes wore
alone to be collected from the val
uation it would make no material
difference what value is placed up
the real estate, but when State
taxes are to be gathered also from
that valuation, it is highly impor-
tant that value be placed upon
our property that will average with
the value placed upon the realty
in other counties of the State. 1t
seems to us that before this work
can be fairly done the Commission
ers appointed for each county
should arrive at some understand
ing rs to what proportion of the
cash value of property should be
fixed and that rate should as near
us possible be assessed in each coun-
ty. 1t would be manifestly unfair
to place n value of 75 per cent, of
the cash value in Mason county, if
the value in Cabell county is only
40 per cent. If the realty of the
whole State was assessed at it's fair
cash value there would be no hard
ship upon anyone. The same
amount of taxes would be raised
but the per cent. would be lower.
Injustice is only done whore the
valuation is higher in one county
than another In the absence of
any understanding the Commiss-
toner's should see to itthat the value
they place upon property will aver
age with tho valuation placed in
other counties, and that it is equal
and uniform throughout the coun-
ty. The Commissioners should al
ways be careful and in every case
use their best judgment, and not
be influenced by any outside con-
sideration.

Worrying.

The Charleston Gazette is worry
ing itself into the grave, or the In
sane Asylum, by it's fear that the
Democrats of West Virginia in
National Convention, will support
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, in
stead of Hon. w. j. Bryan. What
if West Virginia Democrats do
favor Mr.. German, is there anything
wrong in that2 Haven't the West
Virginia Democrats right to
choose between Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidential nomina-
tion2 Isn't Mr.. Gorman as good a
Democrat as Mr.. Bryan2 Then
why all this gush on the part of the
Charleston Gazette2 IL any other
Democrat is nominated for Presi-
dent, rather than Mr.. Bryan, we
should judge from the editorials in
the Gazette, that it would bolt the
ticket. The Gazette will learn that
every Democrat carries his Town
sovereignty under his hat, and will
not be dictated to or be bossed by the
editor of the Gazette, or any man
or set of men. Every Democrat ia
his own "boss," and will act as to
him seems best.
