the committees and management for
their energy in carrying the affair
through SO well. There was much to
contend with, chief among them the
smallpox scare, which probably kept
half the people away, but for all that a
large crowd came and every place was
well thronged, all apparently enjoyed
themselves. The city was well policed
and, strange to say not "A disorderly
person appeared upon the streets, only
one man reported locked up. The
ball at opera house in the evening
was big affair and Melted the Rel
men profitably. Flags and bunting
were everywhere. Swung across the
street from Gritman's store to that Of
the Ritzville Hardware Co. was BAN
ner bearing the words independence
day" Another suspended over the
front OF the opera house bore the
friendly emblem "Greetings." Not
an accident or event occurred during
the entire day to mar the pleasures Of
the visitors and all were seemingly
satisfied when the sun went down.
The sports committee consisting L..
e. Paskill, Sam Hutchinson, Il. H..
Lee, W.R. Peters and ia. Humphrey,
did splendid work in getting their
part up in shape and off with neatness
and dispatch.

Our Lifework.

Few men see the fruition OF their
own llfework. One seems to be des-
tined to labor for Others, pre- eminent
ly so for ones own family, knowing
that much of the good results must
come in ones old age or when one
shall have passed away. Similar work
was done for each and everyone of us
by our fathers, and we must in turn
do it for those who must succeed us.
Out of this phase of fate comes much
that is noble and OF ever growing bet
terment to the race. The rich man
hopes for still greater riches for his
children, and the poor and those in
humble spheres OF life, have faith that
they are doing something to insure
better fortune for their children and
families. ~ am in the workshop, at
the desk, behind the counter, in the
field, perhaps for life" says in effect
the toiler of today, "but my children
will not do so; they will fare better if
my self-abnegation can make it so."
And he does make it SO. The well
to-do of today, in nine cases out of
ten, either knew poverty in their
early days or are aware that they
came from parents who were original
ly in contracted circumstances, and
who pinched themselves for the well
being of their children.-National

COL. RooSENELT's EVIDENCE.

Evidence multiplies that the beef
given to the soldiers was embalmed. The
best articles yet written on the war
with Spain are from the pen of Col
Theodore Roosevelt which are appearing
in Scribner's Magazine. His accounts of
the ineffcicncy and ignorance of the de-
partment officials, given not in the tone
of complaint, is a severe indictment Of
the conduct OF. the war.
He seems to endorse General Miles.
Writing Of the rations furnished to his
troops while they were in Florida, Col,
Roosevelt says:
If we had been given canned Cornei
beef we would have been all right, but
instead Of this there was issued to the
soldiers horrible stuff called canned
fresh beef There was no salt in it.
At the best it was stringy and tasteless
at the worst it was nauseating."
The Republicans can't go back on
Roosevelt, for they elected him on his
war record.

FRIDAY. February 5, 1899
4 GREAT TOWN MEETING.

The meeting in Raleigh last night to
consider the amendments to the city
charter was notable one from every
standpoint. The attendance of repre-
sentative citizens was large and the
spirit manifested throughout was one
that shows that the people of Raleigh
take the correct view Of their civic
duties.
The board of aldermen-one of the best
and most progressive in the city's his
tory-had drawn a new city charter
and this meeting was called to consider
it. In this new charter were many cx-
celIent provisions, but 1T contained a
provision providing for the election of a
Police Justice and Street Surveyor. The
sentiment of the meeting was against
creating any new Offices. The sugses-
tions made last night, when Incorporated
with the improvements incorporated 10y
the board of aldermen, will give Raleigh
an excellent charter.
The spirit Of the meeting was admir-
able, and gave new faith in the public
spirit and devotion to duty that charac-
terizes the citizens of the capital city.
10 city that has so many sons of the
character and wisdom gathered at Met
ropolitan Hall last night can fail to 60
forward.
