The deficit in the National
Treasurery und er Republican
rule seems tosbe lightly consider
ed by Republican publications,
yet under Mr.. Cleveland these
same journals were bowling
every day and drawing the dark
est pictures. The way out of
the trouble has already been an
nounced, issue bonds. 1t is now
contemplated to place another
large bond issue to tide over the
trouble, and yetsswe are told that
the future is brightning, that
safe and sound government man
agement is in force. Many of
the people believe the sts tement,
but many are apprehensive, and
believe that assmore economical
policy shoulds.c ircumscribe the
governments course. Already
the present administration has
placed many millions of dollars
in bonds and now it is to be re-
peated. High living in Wash
ington, extravaganza, rampant
and the government plunging
into debt do not forebode good
nor indicate permanent pros
perity. With no wars without
and no feuds within, with the
productive powers of our coun-
try increased, and the markets
of the world open for our surplus,
such a degree of extremity can
not be justified and such course
can not be endorsed, for in the
end it must all come from the
people through taxes. The peo-
pie of this section and this State
would not even agree to bond the
country or the State for the pur-
pose of securing badly needed
improvements, and yet many of
them are endorsing National in
debtedness for maintaining in
creasing National extravaganza.
A bill will be introduced to issue
one hundred millions of dollars
in bonds for the purpose of i'm
proving rivers, harbors and con-
Meeting the great lakes and the
gulf -neened it's true, but not
so urgent as to overthrow other

I h e. crime committed | a S t
week in the neighborhood of
Russell Springs, elsewhere given
in this issue, issone that shocks
and horrifes every individual
who hears of it. In the cata-
logue Of crime, in the depth of
human depravity it marks the
extreme limits of beastly lust,
and destruction. No country
has ever had a more horrid muir
der and nossdemon has ever ex-
ecuted a more hellish crime. A
sweet little girl, not quite eleven
years of age, innocent and pure
as a new born flower, happy and
joyful, nearing her mothers side
after a day in school, almost at
the door step of her home, seized
by a brute in human form, car
ried to the woods, outraged and
then murdered to hide the crime.
No punishment is adequate to
compensate. no court of justice
too speedy to infict it. A prec-
iouS life in it's budhood blotted
out in the most barbarous man
ner, at an unexpected hour with
in the shadow of a school days
twilight almost within the grasp
of her parents. That human
vengence should be aroused to
the highest tention could not be
otherwise, that mercy should be
shown to the murderer could not
be imagined and justice speedy
and sure must be handed out.
Appalling and shocking as the
crime is, as just deserving of
death as the slayer is and as GER
tain as the people are that they
have the guilty party in the
clutches of the law, so sure ought
they to be willing to let the law
apply the punishment. No rash
act should be committed, for
there is no avenue of escape for
the guilty party, when convinc-
ing evidence of guilt confronts
a jury. Without such evidence
guilt can not be established in or
outside of court and no people
would be true to good judgment,
wise of action or justified to pun
ish on suspicion. The m O t o
should be, keep cool and enforce
the law speedily.

Bar Slot Machines.

Colville, Jan. 13.-Prosecuting
Attorney J. A. Rockford this week is
sued a general order directed to all
persons in Stevens county, by which
all slot machines and other devices
of similar kind are to be removed
from public view, and the use of the
same discontinued.
This order, in addition to the one
directing all business houses in the
county to close on Sunday, practical
ly puts the lid on and screws it down
tight so far as Stevens county is
concerned. 4 few localities where
the wide-open policy has always been
maintained have offered bitter COM
plant of the enforcement of the laws.

Before putting them into water care
fully pare off all the dark part upon
he under side.
BY all means get as many narcissi
as you can, for they not only bloom
we'll, but the blooms will last so
long. In them one can find such a
variety of sizes and shapes, in all
combinations of white and yellow.
Then, if you want some thing pref
ty, get a half dozen of single Roman
hyacinths and plant in soil, letting
the crowns come above the dirt.
Water we'll and set in a dark, cool
place for a month, unless they snow
signs of coming up sooner. The Ro-
man hyacinths are so graceful and
generally have from two to six stalks
of blooms.
The double hyacinths have a bad
habit of beginning to bloom before
they get above the leaves. This can
be remedied by placing cone of
dark paper, with the apex cut off,
over the plant. This will cause the
stalk to run up to the light, and
when it does this cone can be re-
moved
Freesias are very lovely. Take a
half dozen freesia bulbs and plant
them in a five-inch pot of rich, fine
soil; water we'll, and set in cool,
dark place until they show signs of
coming up. Then bring them into
the light, but not into the sun for
several days. If you have never
seen any of them you will wonder
how such tiny bulbs can contain so
much sweetness. If they grow up
quite tall and are inclined to lop
over, clip off the ends of the leaves,
and you may nave to furnish sup
port for the flowers. The white ones
are the prettiest by far and the red
ones add variety.
In planting bulbs one must always
pare off the brown substance upon
the under side or the roots will be
unable to get through it.

The Men to Choose as Friends.

The cynical old maid would prob
ably say that all men should be
avoided. The happily married young
woman will say that is nonsense
all men are good, as undoubtedly
they are to certain extent. Rarely
does one come across any man who
is thoroughly bad.
Yet the old maid is not entirely
wrong, either. There are some men
whom it is well to avoid, and the
young girl who is just entering So
cial life should take the advice of
thosse who have had more expert
ence than her self. 1t savors of
youth and almost fooli3hness to re-
fusse to know man even slightly
because of some few faults.
In the matter of real friendship,
however, and marriage, girl is I'M
wise if she accepts as friend or hus-
band a man whom other men dis
like There is usually something
wrong with such man, and GER
tainly the inexperienced girl is bet
ter to keep such a one at arm, s
length.
Either he is mean or selfish, a
blusterer, or must plead guilty to
other faults. AS an acquaintance,
he might be possible, but as friend
not advisable.
One wants a man who is compare
lively strong all over if he is to be
admitted as a friend. The man who
is impossible in one or two respects
must certainly be relegated to the
more outward friflge.-McCall's

How to Raise Flowers in Winter.

Everybody loves flowers, and it is
easy to raise a few blossoms, even
in the dreariest months of winter,
that no one need be without them.
The very simplest of all flowers TO
raise are those grown from bulbs.
They are always sure to blossom and
give good results.
Be sure to get two or three Chi
nese sacred lilies, and put them into
bowl partly filled with pebbles or
marbles and a few Jumps of char
coal, as this keeps the water sweet.

SAYS HE FOUND
A REAL BABY
COMEDIAN AT THE kEYEOh
GRAND SPRINGS A
NEW ONE.

Considerable interest has been
aroused by the announcement of the
finding of a baby at the Keylor Grano
yesterday morning, by Mathews, one
Of the sketch comedians who is at the
theater this week. Mr.. Mathews says
he found the founding at the door
yesterday morning and so took it in
the house and there it was decided
what to do with it.
Manager Catron says that as a re-
suit of a conference it was decided 60
take the baby to some house where it
will be we'll cared for and then give
it away publicly to the persons fur
nishing the best references. COnse-
quently announcement was made of
the fact at yesterday afternoons per
Torrance and at last nights shows
Many phone calls have been received
at the theater this morning but the
baby is not to be disposed of until to-
morrow.
''I1 is a real baby" said Mr.. Catron
this morning, land we are going 70
give it away. But it will not be a
promiscuous throwing away of the
little one, for we intend to give it
only give it to the best of people IN
fact there will be a sort of competi-
ton to see who is best fitted to take
care of the little unclaimed one
TT is a baby anyone should be glad
to rear. With golden hair and blue
eyes, it is a tot that is as beautiful
as is ever seen. Mr.. Mathews would
take it were it not for the fact that
he is single. He is taking a great deal
of interest in the little one and it will
be hard for him to part with it,
There is a great deal of excitement
being caused by the announcement
that we have a baby to give away, but
1t means just what we say The baby
was found and we cannot take care
OF 1c. What better can we do than to
give 1T to the people furnishing the
best references?
1t was dressed nicely when founi
and had evidently just been aban-
doned by some heartless mother VINO
found it in her way. We will give it
away tomorrow evening and when we
say we will give baby away we
mean just that"
