A Report From The Common Council Com
mittee on zanIas.

The following report of the Com
mittee on Zanjas was read and adopt
ed at the meeting of the Common
Council on Thursday evening last:
TO the Honorable the Council of the
City of Los Angeles:
Gentlemen:- Your Committee on
Zapjas, to whom was referred the Pc
tition of J. w. Potts and Others, ask
ing the privilege of purchasing water
from the ditch above the WOOlen Mills
to irrigate their hill lands, after care
full consideration Of the subject, beg
leave respectfully to report against
granting the petition for the following
reasons, to-wit:
First, Because the city has hereto
fore contracted to give the Woolen
Mill Company two hundred inches of
water daily for motive power, and by
granting this petition the City would
not be able to furnish that amount to
the Woolen Mills.
Second, Since the settlement of the
suit of the City with the Felix Ranch
owners parties on the ditch above the
city are in the habit of taxing water
at any time to suit their convenience,
and consequently we believe the irri-
gators who are now entitled to the wa
ter in the city and below the Woolen
Mills, and who have valuable improve
ments depending upon the water, may
even now at times suffer from scare
ity OF water.
Third, By granting this privilege to
Mr.. Potts and petitioners the city
would in justice be compelled to grant
the same privilege to others owning
hill lands.
Fourth, Your committee believe
that the city cannot grant new privi-
leges of this kind until general plan
of improving our irrigating facilities
is adopted, which shall save our Win
ter water in reservoirs, and by build
ing a submerged dam and fluming our
zanjas economiZe the use and increase
the amount of the city water.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.

1T is SELDOM THAT WE NOTICE anything In
the medical line, nor would we now, unless
we could be convinced that we are not doing
our duty as journalists in recommending TO
the public the celebrated botonical prepara-
tions of DIR. Henry. Whoever induces the
victim ofScrofula or any other disease of the
blood, to use DIR. Henry.s Extract OF Sarsapa-
rilla, has begun good work. There can be
no question as to the result of this medicine
ifpersevered in. 1t is a sure cure for Scrofu-
la, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, and indeed all
complaints arising from vitiated and impure
blocd II Is just what good physician would
prescribe for these complaints, and we con-
fidentially recommend IL as being the best
article now in use. DR.. Henry's Cough Balsam
is the most effective remedy for any affections
of the Throat or Lungs that we have ever
known. II contains no deleterlous drugs,
and can be taken with impunity and GER
tainty ofrelief For the cure of Coughs, Colds,
Sore Throat, ETC., 1t stands without a rival.
DIR. Henry's Linament as an alleviatOr of
pain, is unrivalled by any preparation before
the public; the most skeptical will be con-
vinced by single trial. Ii will prove itself a
"iriend in need" which no family should be
without

tertained them with a pleasant song,
without any of them suspecting he was
asleep, and without his retaining, after
he awoke, the least recollection of what
he had DONE" Being blind, his family
would have the more difficulty in dis
covering his Unusual condition.
A curious case occurred in st. Louis q
few years ago. A lively young fellow,
who was a confirmed somnambulist,
dreamed that he had filled his friends
boots with water. He jumped out of
bed, and, in his sleep, actually carried
out bis practical joke, going to the
water-pitcher and pouring the water into
each boot till he filed it to the brim,
without spilling drop. Then, with a
pleased expression, he replaced the
pitcher and returned to his bed. On
awakening in the morning he was utter
ly unconscious of what he had done.
Somnambulism, or the tendency of it,
most commonly arises from causes not
apparent or discoverable. Where it oc-
ours in persons not accustomed to ex-
hibit any such propensity, some disorder
of the digestive functions may be sus-
pected, and the restoration of these
functions to healthy state may put
stop to the practice. But in confirmed
cases nothing can be done but to lock
the doors, bar the windows, and keep
dangerous objects or instruments out of
the way, or a cord may be affixed to the
bedpost and the arm of the sleep
walker. AS general rule, the somnam-
bulist should be taken to bed before be-
ing awakened.

Women will be Women.

There were many spirit-stirring Incl
dents in the session of the centennial
suffrage sisters on yesterday. Nothing,
for instance, could have exceeded the
effect upon the audience of Miss Antho-
ny's noble forbearance when she de-
clared that, for her part, she would
counsel no mob violence on the part of
the women in the assertion of their
rights rather than that, she would will
ingly work and wait for justice for
another hundred years. Equally effect
i've, though possibly trife inconsist-
ent, was the generous concession of the
sisters to the tyrant man, when, after
exhausting the resources of the feminine
vocabulary of villifcation upon his de-
fenseless head, they politely borrowed
his lat to pass around for contributions.
Miss Anthony might have used her
centennial sun-bonnet for the occasion,
or gathered the stamps" in her apron /;
but to show that the gentle spirit of for
giveness still reigns in the bosoms of the
suffragists, and that they love whom
they chasten, they just seized upon the
most convenient piece of masculine
head.gear and permitted the tyrant to
help I'll it for them. Chicago Times.
