How about the Soldiers Monument Our
statement of the financial condition of the Mon
ument Association, though certainly such as
ought to awaken public attention, and call forth
prompt action, has not had any response, so far
as We know. Something should be DONE by all
means, to complete tho work, and discharge the
Just debts. The memory Of the Union soldiers
of Delaware will not be honored by debt-bur-
dened monument.

Look OUT FOR YOUR CHICKENS. Chinese New
Year is HOW at hand, and they have already
commenced laying in a supply of chickens. Two
hen-roosts have already been robbed by these
mooacyel,' copper colorcd men and brothers.
Make your chicken houses secure, or train your
chickens to roost high, for these Chinese must
come here and be Christianzed. The new En-
peror of China is to be married on the anniver-
aary Of his ascension to the throne, which is
their New Year, and for this reason they must
have more chickens than usual this New Year.
At the Junction House, Davis ranch, and the
depot. thcy have already picked up some Is fine,
iat chickens, and if they succeed as well in the
other sections of our community they will have
oily feast during their New Years week. 1t
IS cruel to Christianize these men and brothers
by boarding them at the 'Red Lion" or keeping
chickens out of their reach. But that is the
only Gospel that viii reach their case.

SMALL Pox:-We learned two days ago that IL.
cases OF this disease at Rocklin are in fair vav r.

some steps to provide against this loathsome and
dangerous disease, or its spread il it reached
here. Our neighboring cotem. did the same
thing in his Thursdays issue, yet no movement
has been made i'll that direction. As to the SUCCESS
ton thatthe Supervisors should act in the matter
that 'oW not DO. If they were to commence
building aud supplying pest houses, fair dealing
would require them to provide one in every town
and neighborhood in the county, nine-tenths of
them never to be used. We want no county pest
house here that would, if case occurred in the
county, bring the disease to our doors. Let
each town or settlement in the county provide
for itself, as Rockiin has done. Those CON
tributing to provide Cor pest houses will own
The property when the danger is past and will be
public benefaotors by desire or actualty. We
urge tins again on our people and the people all
over The county, and if they who are the only
parties interested refuse to make provision, they
deserve nothing from the Supervisors

FouEp IN WELL--On Wednesday Of last
week, as Mr.. James Page was passing the East
ern Extension dollhouse with his team, he stopped
and looked in the well and saw what seemed to
be the body Of a human being at the surface of
. the water He told Mr.. Atwood, who informed
us and Coroner Jamison of the circumstance a
dlv or two later, and said he would go and ascer-
tain what it was. On doing so, the body of
human being WAS found minus the head and
feet, and too much decomposed for identified
ton The well is strongly curbed up some three
or four feet high, and there was no chance for
animal or human to get into 1t except by design
or compulsion. Chinese fish peddler was sup
posed to have been murdered at Doty's Flat,
some two miles from this well, last March, hut
the aupposit,on that these are his remains Is
hardly reasonable ono, as it has been nearly
eie,en months which would have entirely com
pleted his decomposition, all but the bones. The
Chinese were intending to clean out the well
to determine the matter, but whether they have
dome 50 or not, We have not learned. That it
was It suicde or murder, and concealment, there
IS no doubt

Einth-streot Railroad

To the Editor Of The S'dr:--A paragraph in the
public rapers tells Us that the president OF the
Metropolitan railroad company has infor med
the board of public works that it was not the
intention OF the railroad company, in laying the
timber for the track 9th street, to avail itself
OF the full privilege OF its charter by putting the
road into early operation, but that this prelimi-
nary work was only done to accommodate the
board, and TO prevent tearing up streets here
after. The plain English of this phraseology is,
that the Metropolitan railroad company have
no present intention to complete and equip their
road on 9Th street northwest, and the hopes
which the public were led to entertain OF its
early completion are in great danger of being
indefinitely postponed. IL this course Is perse-
yered in, ii will cause sincere and very general
disappointment. The board of public works
have, on their part, exhibited commendable
zeal in pushing forward their work for the i'm
prevement of this street. The public are now
looking to the managers of the road with the
just expectation that they Will not enact the
dog in the msnger policy, but that they viii
fulfill their just expectations, by completing the
road and equippiDg it, without unnecessary
delay. CITIZEN.
