SMALL BUsINEss.-A few days ago a
ape was circulated, by order OF the
manager, among the hands atthe Rich-
mond Company's furnaces, requesting
them to express, by their signatures,
whether they would prefer TO he paid
in trade dollars or in San Francisco
checks. to be discounted by the COM
pany at the rate OF five per cen The
workingnien very seiI>ibiy arrived at
the conclusion that there was no good
reason why they should either be paid
in dpprsclated currency or in paper at
such an extortionate rate of discount;
consequently they declined to ac-
cent either alternative, and the
manager, finding that the thing
wouidn't work, gave orders for Il. cir
payment, a, formerly. in San Fran
cisco checks, subject only to such a le-
giiimate rate of discount as is charged
by the banking houses here. A
wealthy mining Company proposing
to shave its own paper, given in pay
ment for honest labor, is something
new in the history Of The SAFE. and, Tor
the credit of oar district, We hope it will
be the last attempt of the kind that will
ever be made in Eureka.

A II arrow Escape.

Last Wednesday, while Arthur Gray, a
II year old son of jesse Gray, the switch
man on the G. r. |. 4 P. road at the
upper depot, was walking along the rail-
road near the new round house he met
with a morrow escape from death. The
switch engine was busy at work, and had
just made flying switch" and thrown a
box car on the same track on which he
was walking. He did not see the car I'M
til it was close upon him, and be then at
tempted to get off the track, but slipped
and fell He regained his feet but the oar
then struck him in the back, knocking him
down. A gentleman standing near saw
that the boy would certainly be killed il
something was not done, and so he yelled tc
him, Lay down, Artie, fat to the
ground" The boy heard it, and throwing
himself fat on the ground, and knowingly
turning his head sideways, the car passed
over him. Everybody who saw the trans
action expected to see the boy killed, bu
strange to say the only injury he received
was sprained ankle.
He was taken to the residence of Charlie
Wilcox where his ankle was attended to
and he was then taken home. The escap,
was narrow one and he will probably b,
more watchful while walking on railroad
tracks in future.

Arrested for Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

Yesterday afternoon Marshal Halves ar
rested young man, calling himself Alex
anier Morris, on complaint Of Isaac Ep-
stein, ieweler, who suspicioned him OF at
tempting to swindle him out of awatch aud
chain.
II seems that Morris has been in this
vicinity for several days and has been IN
the habit of entering store, purchasing
goods, aud paying by check on Peterson
Bros, merchants. at Wheatland. Iowa
He played this trick on Beiderbecke q
Miller, in Davenport, but that firm tele-
graphed to Wheatland and received an
answer that Morris was fraud.
He then came to this city, and going to
the PEOPLES National Bank said that a
credit would be arranged for him there as
he intended purchasing some goods. he
then proceeded to May Bros store and
purchased about $400 worth Of crockery,
ETC., giving them paper on Peterson Bros.
He did not remove the goods however.
Yesterday morning he entered Mr.. Ep
STEMS jewelry store and purchased
watch and chain which amounted to $53'
He gave the clerk check on the People,
National Bank for $57. The clerk called
his attention to the "a difference in amount
of the purchase and the check. and Morris
said he had made a mistake. The clerl
said he supposed it was all right and gave
Morris the watch, chain and 81 in cash
Shortly after this Mr. Epstein presented
the check at the bank to be cashed. bu
was told that Morris had no account ther'
as yet but had been talking about one.
Mr.. Epstein then telegraphed to Peter
son Bros, aud received the following:
| morris is worthless He has no deposit here =
For further particulars ask Beiderbecke.
| Mr.. Epstein then called on Morris, an
as that young man could not explain TIL
matter satisfactorily he was arrested.
He was taken before Magistrate CroE
per late yesterday afternoon and held i
$500 bonds for his appearance at the ez
animation this afternoon.
He was brought out this afternoon an
after examining several witnesses tn
magistrate held him in the sum of $50

The Colorad Citizens.

Forty colored citizens had meeting last
evening at the residence of Mr.. Ousley, in
the Fifth Ward, to consider the municipal
campaign. After speeches by jackson
Beardsley, William Ousley and Jesse
Holland, the following resolution was un-
animously adopted:
RssoLced' That we stand by the Republican
support the Republican ticket for city officers,
1t was then determined to held meet
ing at the Court House on Saturday even
ing, at which Mr.. j. Z, Hall and others will
speak Union, ttis morning,
We copy the above from the water board
organ of this morning in order to show
that the Republican Butler managers are
appealing to class and color in their un-
scrupulous campaign, and also to say that the
colored people are making a great mistake
in arraying themselves as class with any
or either political party. Such a course
effectually cuts them off from the aid and
sympathy they certainly want and ask
from the people generally. In their efforts
to raise funds for their churches. their
societies. and for themselves or the poor
and needy among them, or even for work,
they appeal to all alike, and it will be a
misfortune to them to now combine for the
purpose of affecting local and municipal
affairs, and thus become the tools of ring
of wire pullers against the best interests of
the city. They will hurt themselves by it,
and hurt the party they represent. IF a
negro combination is to be made, why
should there not be a white combination
also? How would the negroes like to see
that? independent white men can fore
see how they are in the future to be con-
trolled by the negro VOTE The effect of
such combination will be that for every
negro vote Mr.. Davenport loses he will
gain two white votes. Aud the effect
upon the negroes will be to cut them of
from all sympathy from majority of our
citizens, unless the better class of colored
folks take some measures to counterfeit
the effect Of this meeting.

Water Board Lie Refuted.

The water board party are very busy with |
certain citizens of the Second ward, telling
them that Mayor Davenport vetoed an APP |
preparation of $500 to be expended in |
macadamizing bad laces on Buffalo and
Eagle streets. The a0hoie story as q lie from
beginning to end, gotten up to try and
help reelect Alderman Geo. e. Bailey No
such appropriation aoas ever made by the
council or eUea recommended by the street
and alley committee, Of sohich alderman
Bailey Is q member
An appropriation was recommended, of
$500. for Ella street, leading over the
bluffs from McMaster's corner, and when
it was under discussion in the council
Alderman Mosenfelder opposed it, saying
that it was not right to make an appro-
priation tor that street when Buffalo and
Eagle streets, in the very heart of the
business part OF the city, were in a much
worse condition than Elm street. Alder
man Mosenfelder instanced the fact that a
short rain made portions of Buffalo and
the Eagle street road impossible for a
loaded wagon; that they needed aid more
than any other streets in town; that the
Eagle street road over the bluffs was in a
worse condition than Elm, and he hoped.
if the council made an appropriation for
Elan street it would be just to the heart
Of the city and make one for Buffalo and
Eagle street also. Alderman Bailey sal
like a bump on log and refused to sup
port the strong argument Of alderman
Moseatelder. Had Alderman Bailey sup.
ported Alderman Mosenfelder there would
have been some hope for aid to repair
, Buffalo and Eagle streets. He refused te
| do so, and therefore there was no hope
he being one-half of the street and alley
committee. Mayor Davenport did not
veto any appropriation for Buffalo or
Eagle street. No such appropriation was

/ have been made if Alderman Bailey hao
given little attention to the wants of his
ward, and supported the argument o.
D Alderman Mosenfelder. But he hadn'

The Union Charges A. Z. Philleo and
Jake Huber with Corruption.

The water board organ is engaged on a
huge problem. It claims that Mr.. Daven-
port saves $1,000 year on his taxes by
holding the Office Of mayor Here are the
words of the organ of the water board in
its issue Of this morning:
1.-THE value of the Office Iof mayor to
Bailey consisted in the influence
it gave him to manipulate matters so
that he might evade his just proportion Of
taxation, and thus increase the proportion
Of poor people. who do not fight their
taxes.
Now, inasmuch as A. K. Philleo, our
Republican assessor, fixes the value of his
property on which taxes are assessed, and
such Republicans as Fl. G. Cleaveland and
Jake Huber collect the taxes, they must,
of course, be the men Mr.. Davenport has
manipulated. l." 1t will probably surprise
the Republican water board leaders to see
their organ charge that A. X. Philleo, II.
G. cleveland and Jacob Huber have been
manipulated" by Mr.. Davenport in such
a way as to save to himself $1,000 year on
his taxes-but that is the logic of the
Union's charge.
| 1t won't do TO claim that he makes SIS. DOC
a year by keeping down the expenses Of
the city government, and that while he is
thus benefited he increases the proportion
of poor peoples" taxes That won't do be
cause poor and rich alike pay tie same pei
cent of taxation, and watching expenses
helps everybody in town in exactly the
same proportion that it helps Mr.. Daven
port. 1t won't do to say that Mr.. Phillet
assesses Mr.. Davenport's property lowel
in proportion to its value than he assesses
the property Of other people-neither Mr.
Philleo nor his friends would rest unde
that imputation. The fact is that Mr.
Davenport's property has been, in SOM
!, instances, assessed at higher rates thar
neighboring property of equal value-bu
never lower.
There is, therefore, no other explana
ton of the Union's charge than that, il
E some secret, underhanded, and corrup
manner the Republican assessors and col
lectors haye been manipulated by Mr.
Davenport. No one is surprised, in thes
times, to find corrupt Republicans in o.
fee, and if the Republican organ insist
that Mr.. Davenport has manipulated
Messrs. Philleo, Cleaveland and Jak
Huber, Republican assessors and collec
ors) in his interest. let that paper CON
down to details aud give US the evidenc
in order that these manipulated" Repul
lican officials may be prosecuted for the
crimes. The ARGUS has twice supporte
Mr.. Philleo for assessor, but if the charl
i. of the Union, that he has been ''manip,
lated in the interest of Bailey Davenport
n is true we shall not support him again.
