Thi't there is no outstanding warrants; if any, there is money on hand to meet them.

There has, during the nast year, been more than the usual amount of street work; streets heretofore unused have been graded and graveled; the costs for gravel used by the city has quite doubled any former year. New and substantial bridges have been in several places built across the canal at a consid erable cost. The improvements on the streets will approximate .fl 150(1. Large numbers of -crosswalks have been repaired and new ones built. It also became necessary to supply the fire department with five hundred feet oi new hose and repair and repaint both engine houses. The city '' has been at considerable expense in laying sewers from the main so that the property holders could hive the benefits of sewerage. These ar. a portion of the work done during the year. Tiie closing year has been one of unusual activity in repairing and building new sidewalks. The greater portion of the walks were constructed several years since and had become so worn as to require ; more than ordinary attention, j While thev are not at present in, all iiiirticulars what thev shou d oe, yet inev are in a jair condition, j i1-'" ijuhi vmrni ji.i:, -.i : aut andnew walks have been made to t'tte Packing Company, llcdu-id A: accommodate the lately improved !

We have a reputation among insurance men as having one of the best equipped fire departments in the country for a city of like size, and we reap the benefits therefrom in cheap insur ance and a consciousness of sub stantial security from the ravages of fire. I sincerely trust that vou who will control the affairs of the city in the future will at all times kindly remember -them and give them encouragement and assist ance such as their sacrifice de mands. They ask no more and a generous people can do no less. The city is to be congratulated upon the good order that has pre vailed during the year, especially so when we consider that a larger number of transient people have been in our midst than at anv time before in our historv Order has i been maintained without increas ing the police force The fines collected have paid the. costs of the trials and punishment of criminal.

The New Year has brought one of the most sad' and sorrowful events ever witnessed in our town. Saturday evening about 6 o'clock the cry of "lire!" and "help!" came from the residence of Mr. J. M. Ralston. By the efforts of a few who came first the tire was soon put out. It was soon ascer tained that Mrs. Ralston and their only two children, .lohnny.a bright boy of ten, and Mabel, a general favorite of eight years were badly burned. It apiears" their mother was giving the children sl bath,and and left them to get a towel, and while gone the lamp fell and broke or exploded, ami in a moment the bath room was ablaze with the lit- ''e ones insl,e an(' "O way out ex- cept to pass through the flames By the urgent solicitation of the mother, who was almost frenzied, the children rushed through the flames to their mother, being ter ribly burned from head to foot. Medical aid was summoned and it was soon ascertained that there j was but little hope for the little! girl and nothing sure for the boy. Ail night long the doctors and j kind Iriends did what could be l,,lie- hut in sPite of a11 tlie sPirit ot little Mabel took its flight at 2 o'clock tin's morning. From this time on everv effort was centered sister's.
