ATTE,lPT TO BLOW UP THE HOUSE OF a GERMAN

An unsuccessful attempt was made shortly after

there were twelve people sleeping in the house at
the time.
About O'Clock Mr.. Kruger was awakened BY
the barking Of his dog, and got up to see what was

instant ncoln avenue for blocks was astir.
The bomb had been placed half way under the
south corner OF the house in the 'front.' 1t had

ground, and on the corner or The building there Is

THE WATER SUPPLY.
An Inexhaustible Abundance by River,
Stream and Subterranean Flow.

All abundance Dy h1vST,
Stream and Subterranean Flow.
The water supply of Sacramento county
is simply unlimited and inexhaustible.
The first and most important source of this
supply is the Sacramento river, which
forms the western boundary of the county,
with frontage upon the river of seventy
FIVE miles. The Sacramento, as is we'll
known. is the largest as well as the longest
river in the State, and is navigable tor a
distance of about two hundred and fifty
miles, or one hundred and fifty miles above
Its upper contact with Sacramento county
Thus there is afforded ample water supply
along the entire western boundary of the
county, which is availed of for farming
and domestic purposes both by flow and
sipage: and which is not only inexhaustible
for these purposes, but also affords cheap
transportation at all times from any point
bordering upon it.
THE AMERICAN RIVER.
The next supply in order of Importance
rs the American river, which, rising in the
upper Sierraa, enters the county at the
northeast corner, among the foothills, and
flowing in a southwest direction, traverses
the entire width Of the county, a distance
In its coarse of about thir+y-five miles. and
empties into the Sacramento river az the
north side of the Capital City. This river
affords an unlimited supply of water at all
seasons OF the year, and enough constantly
flows through the county and out to tbs
sea to irrigate, if it could be applied to
them, ali the uplands in the county, in
the season desired for summer cultivation,
and also furnish an inexhaustibie supply
OF power for manufacturing purposes. The
fsver has been nayigated rs far up as Fol-
s9nl-a distance of twenty miles from Sac
rahlento- Numerous schemes for estab-
hshing manufacturers along It's upper
course have been under contemplation. and
will at some future day be proftably on:
into operation, and also its water will
eventually be applied to extensive irrigat-
ing purposes.
THE COSTUMES RIVER.
As already stated, the American river
enters the county at its northeast corner.
The eastern line of the county extends |
from there southeasterly distance of |
thirty miles to Dry creek, its southeriy
boundary. Midway between the American
river and Dry creek, on the east line of
the county, or sixteen miles south of the
American, the Costumes river flows down
into the eastern foothills of Sacramento

THE REF0Rm PRESIDENT.

The s'reform President" whose attention
at one time had not been "calIed" to viola
tions of the civil service rules which he had
laid down, is now having his attention YER
sharply called to mis- own violations of con-
sistency and honesty. The names of several
prominent federal oficeho1ders are freely
mentioned as likely to be selected
as delegates to the st. Louis convention. The
Boston Herald, which has stood manfully
and consistently for civil service reform, calls
the Presidents attention to this mentioning,
and very frankly tells him what he ought to
do about tilt is willing to make some allow
ance for the difficulties encountered in deal
ing with the civil service. There has been
the insidious excuse of 'tevening the offices"
between the two parties, and there has been
the pressure of party upon the President in
States where the party has been in effect
composed in its active portions of nothing
but spoilsmen. "But these are not half suf-
fcient to excuse all he has done. When we
come to add to it acts without any excuse,
acts which implied defiance of him by those
Who held Office at his will, even in their in
ception, then the case is almost as bad against
him as the most inveterate of his opponents
represent it to ben And the Herald adds:
We say, therefore, not that it should be left
for these oficeholders to decline at their own
volition, but that they should be at once in
structed that the fact that they are supposed
to be candidates is an indication that they
are still in politics, to an extent not eonsis-
tent with the rule that should govern in their
cases. Men are not elected to be party rep
resentatixes in this way without giving some
thing like encouragement by their own atti-
tude An of6ceholder ought to be entirely
out of the question in such a connection, and
it will be hard to persuade people familiar
with the workings of politics that he might
not make bimself so, if he were disposed,
without going to the formality of public
refusal of place. He ought to know, and his
party ought to know, that the mention of his
name in such a connection is an assumption
that the President, who has removed men of
the other party for such an attitude as an
offence, and who has said that it is an offence
that should not be tolerated in his own par
ty, was not dealing frankly with the people.
This is plain talk and the reform President
richly deserves it. He has not dealt frankly
with the. people, with his party, or, to oil
appearances, with himself In short, he
seems to be good deal of fraud. l. will
be interesting to see whether he can be driven
into rebuking any offensive partisan now.

The next and last speech on the programme

Following this came a representation in
costume of fifteen Indians boys and girls,
stThe Great Father and his Children" A
young man dressed in continental uniform
took the part of the ''Great Father" and as
young men of different trades and girls rep
resenting various branches of women's work
came up to him and asked for place in his
family, he received them, and after assigning
them to places they were fitted to fill he gave
them flags as tokens that they were forever
more to be one Of his own children. At the
last came O man and woman richly arrayed
in Indian costume, asking for similar privi-
leges, but when questioned as to what work
he could do, and being obliged to confess that
he could only hunt while his wife did the
work, was refused admittance until Clamp
ton Indian student" came forward and
pledged himself to care for and teach these
savages until they should become like the
other children" After singing Keller's
American hymn all marched off the platform
amidst tremendous applause. The signif-
cance of the representation was wonderfully
effective and its pathos very touching.
Mr.. Egbert B. Monroe, of New. York,
chairman of the board of trustees, presented
thirty seven diplomas to the graduating
class in suitable and encouraging words, such
as he is noted fer wherever he goes.
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst, of New York, made
an earnest congratulatory speech and was
followed by Governor Lee, who was received
with great enthusiasm. In the course of a
long and eloquent speech he said that he did
not believe that ''from Maryland to Texas,
and from the Atlantic to the Missouri, there
was man who was not glad that slavery had
been abolished"
Senator Dawes, the father OF Indian citi-

in behalf of themselves and their people.

either is worth his salt in the field is an un.
decided point, because neither has had an
opportunity of showing what he Is worth;
Boulanger never having commanded in chief
ami Lord Wolseley only having done so
against Ashantees, Egyptian fellahs and such
like foes. Wonderful, indeed, is the contrast
between these two Dragging, self-seeking
heroes and Moltke, the man of deeds, not of
words.
The pesky English sparrow isn't favorite,
even in his own England. In various coun-
ties, and especially in Cheshire, boys are
making wages out of the prize money that is
paid by the authorities, six cents dozen for
heads and eggs. The Farmers club of Lon-
don has stated the case against the sparrow
and nobody has ventured to make reply. He
is quarrelsome, noisy, dirty and greedy; he
plays havoc in the garden, from the erocus
bed to the green pea vines. He drives away
the really insectivo1ous birds and then lives
at the expense of the garden and kitchen,
leaving the eaterpillars and other pests to in
crease and multiply as they never did before.
1t is seriously stated that the sparrow causes
a loss to agricultural England of from forty
to fifty million dollars year.
