when he was walking on the road leading
to the Twelfth-street bridge Tuesday, but

/ Of n
making the presentation remarks.
Since the opening of the swimming baths
in Stockton the health of that city has ma
terially improved. Sacramentans long
since learned that cleanliness was the next
thing to godliness, and that an occasional
bath was beneficial to the health.
Wednesday night J. C. Farley's house,
on G street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth, was burglarized and SIS stolen.
The dwelling of ex-police officer Frazee, on
Eighteenth and F streets, was entered the
same night, but the thief took nothing but
| eatables.
! Farmers are in town every day looking
for men TO work during thrashing time.
! There seems to be scarcity of good men,
and in consequence good wages are paid
! If people are as DESTROYS of work as thev
claim to be. no one will have to look long
| for employment.
No one has yet identified the man who
was found drowned in the river Wednesday
afternoon, and Coroner Clark has post
poned the inquest until this evening, hop
| ing meanwhile to hear of some missing
man who answers the description. The
remains have been buried.
Sacramento horsemen do not appear to
have taken much stock in the prospects of
Mr.. Haggin's horse Ban Fox winning the
Suburban at Coney Island yesterday, and
consequently did not lose much money on
him. Tyrant and the Spaniard" (Hidal-
go) seem to be the fayorites of the stable in
this city.
The Ladies Central Committee of the
| Young Mems Christian Association held
their closing meeting, prior to vacation,
last Tuesday. There was a good attend
ance. The President Mrs. r. G. Hart pre-
sided. After the usual routine business,
the ladies decided to give seri oflunches
during the fair week, and will meet to per-
| feet their arrangements in tue latter part
of August.
A Chinese merchant named Chuck Wah
was buried yesterday with much pomp
| from Fifth and / streets, where platform
had been built in the street, upon which.
beneath an awning, the coffin rested. There
was great variety and quality of food,
roast pig figuring prominently, alongside
it, and the funeral ceremonies were long,
and. to the white spectators, interesting
and mysterious.
The new daylight train to Reno COM
menced its trips very successfully yester-
| day. 1t had been supposed that two
coaches would be enough to carry the pas
| sengers, on the first day at least, but they
were more than filed, and another had to
be put on. During the season Tound-trip
excursion tickets will be sold to Truckee
on Fridays and Saturdays, good until the
following Tuesday, at 81 each.
| One drug store in Marysville has num-
| bered its prescriptions up to 100000, and is
still doing good business. Notwithstand-
ing this unhealthy showing, the appeal
says that Marysville is the boss place in
| the country, although the thermometer
| does reach 1902 once in a while" Her
residents should occasionally visit this city,
or some other noted health resort. A
! Marysville belle, with her ague-blanchtd
complexion, is no comparison to one of
our rosy checked, buxom lasSies.
| About O'Clock last evening two men,
| Henry Forrest and John Doe, got into a
| fight at the Salvation Army barracks. They
were put out and whistle blown for the
police. Officer Farrell responded and found
the men fighting on the sidewalk. He put
them under arrest, and Forrest, in trying
to break away ran around post, nearly
breaking the officers wrist. A citizen took
charge of the one who subsequently gave
the name of John Doe, and Farrell loos-
ened his grip on the other to let him put
his coat on. The prisoner took advantage
of his liberty and ran through Third street
toward J, but the officer overhauled him
midway between and X streets, and made
sure of his going to the calaboose. He
then went back and got Mr.. Doe.
