"Move On"

Last Saturday evening the members OF
the Salvation Army In their usual evening
drumming expedition stopped on the corner
of Ferry and Fir.T street and began their
usual street exercises, when they were or
dered on by Marshal Hayes. Refusing TO
move on the Marshal arrested the Captain,
and Policeman McClain his assistant, and
took them to the ealiboose. Monday after
noon they were tried before Recorder Hen
ton, Hons. w. r. Bilyeu and y. 2. Humph-
rev appearing for the prosecution and ID. r.
NJ Blackburn and Judge Whitney for the
defense. The grounds taken by the defense
were that people have the right to worship
God according to the dictates Of their own
consciences, and that the ordinance did not
apply to case like this The prosecution
claimed that that principle had nothing to do
with the place Of worship, and that the same
as other people they he'd no right 70 OBJ
struct the public highway The Recorder
took the case into consideration, and after
due deliberation, Tuesday afternoon found
the prisoners not guilty, on the ground that
no obstruction had been proven. The ver-
dict is generally approved sy the best cie-
ment in the city, principally because those
who seem to be most interested in seeing
the Salvation Army "set down on" are the
saIoon-keepcrs ard hoodians Of the city
A majority Of people do not believe in the
Salvation Army and their loud style OF do
ing things, but as between them and the
element mentioned there Is only one choice
to be made. IL the Salvation Army were
let alone there would be no obstructing OF
streets. AS our officers are anxious 10 up
hold the laws of the city good way would
be to stop the disturbance by the crewd sur
rounding the Army, and very soon there
would hardly be corporals guard to follow
the Captain up the stairs 10 his barracks. As
a matter Of fact the evening hoo-aoo by the
Salvation Army does not disturb people
very much However much we may dis
believe in that style Of worshipping God,
We can easily keep from being burned by
keeping our hands out of the fire. The
trouble with the saloon keepers, who set
the "boys on" to some extent, Is that the
Salvation Army attacks the drink habit and
tries to get the crowd to follow them In
stead Of wasting their money at the bar.
The recent prosecution instead Of injuring
the Army will simply obtain sympathy for
its members, whereas they have about as
much as they are entitled to now, except as
against this element.

tries on the Contra Costa side also those
going to San Francisco, consequently there
were great many passengers on board
The morning being cool most Of them had
gathered about the warm smokestack In the

the boiler these men were directly exposed
to the terrible shock. Besides this, petrol.
cum used for fuel was scattered through
the steamer. setting Il on frc. There was
terrible confusion and heartrendering cries
from the crushed and burning men. The
force Of the explosion Is shown on body

flames held sway until the boat was burned

That we denounce the Republican theory

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

While the soap man was in the city last
week prominent candidate for Office asked
a friend II he thought the soap would take
the stain of mans character. He was
seen TO invest soon after wards.
The school teachers of the county are be-
ing examined this week. AS under the
present law a teacher can only receive two
second grade certificates, and only five or
six receive frs grade certificates during the
year, Il looks as II In the near future a time
will arrive when the county viii be short of
teachers. The only remedy will evidently
be 10 keep getting new teachers. The law
should have stopped with restricting more
than two third grades, in the opinion OF the
Man About Town.
The Eastern man could not very well
help being pleased with the weather that
blessed us during the closing days of Feb
ruary. AS a lamb is to a lion so was that
to the Eastern Februaries.
o
"The reason why so many of our monied
men are so slow to invest in new cnterpris-
es,"said an old pioneer. "is that most of them
have made their money by years of saving
and industry and they are getting too old to
branch out now" The Man About Town Is
willing to be one of several young men to
take the filthy lucre and make things boom
If that Is what our friends would like.
We're sort of aching for some fun of the
kind, particularly with such cats paw.
o
The season Of the year has arrived when
It is proper to agitate county fair. The
Man About Town is glad to do this, because
he always sleeps better after such efforts,
futile as they may be. we have reached a
period when something of the kind is need
ed to give our county name. One would
be paying investment, when the value to
the county is considered. Is there no way
to secure one /? Could not the thing be done
by taking small shares of stock. that Is il
the present situation of things in eonnectio n
with the fair ground, can be arranged to ad-
init of il. There are scores of business men
and farmers who would quickly invest ten
to a hundred dollars, and il would be money
In their pockets. Think and dream about it.
