/ remember when enlisted as n soldier
and started for the south TO help save the
Union, the organ of the Democracy in
this State threatened TO fire in the rear
and the party never condemned that out
rageous threat, but always acted as though
it thought il was all right. And all
through the war the party in every mean
way opposed what we were fighting for,
and ever since the war 1t has hated us
soldiers for what we did, though thousands
of patriotic Democrats, better than their
party, helped put down the rebellion.
know, and every Union soldier knows,
that the Democratic party from Mr.. Cleve-
land down. dislikes soldiers and wouldn't
do us any kind of justice if they could
help it. 1t is not for our interest that
that party should be in power, and shall
not help TO keep it in power even indirect
ly by voting the Prohibition ticket, but
shall vote the Republican ticket and help
all can to restore the party to power in
the Nation. that saved the Union and has
always been friendly to the old soldiers.
l have lately attended the National G..
A. X. encampment, where saw probably
300, 900 Union veterans of the late war,
and L believe that ninety out of every
hundred of them feel just as | do The
old feeling against us was shown at Col
umbus by the Democratic candidate for
Vice President, Mr.. Thurman. Every
house and every business place in the city
was decorated in honor of the veterans
except Mr.. Thurman's house That
hadn't even little cheap flag on it to
show that its owner loved the Union that
we had saved. and we couldn't help recall
ing the fact that he declared in 1864 that
all we had done was failure. although
in nine months from that time every rebel
had surrendered.
Now, Mr.. Editor, / am temperance
man to the back bone, and repeat that I
would like to see prohibition prevail in
Michigan as il does in the Republican
States of Maine, Iowa and Kansas, but |

wish through your columns to say
word to the people concerning their sup
ply of drinking water.
At this time of the year the number OF
cases of typhoid fever begin to increase, and
during the next three months the percent
age of cases and deaths from this disease
are greater than at any other period. 1t is
now generally admitted that the water
supply is the source through which this
disease is most frequently contracted. In
populous city like ours, having no sys-
TEN OF sewers and depending on wells for
the water supply, the danger from this
source is constant. There are one or more
cases of typhoid fever in this city through
out the year We are scarcely ever free
from the presence of this dreadful malady,
and each case may spread the germ that
may cause many others. We often notice
that after one case others occur in the
same neighborhood.
The simplest and at the same time the
safest precaution that can be taken is to
boil all the water used. IL is but q short
task, incurs no added expense, and it may
save the life of a member of your family.
Well water is noticeably worse at this
period of drouth than at any other during
the year. The water Icing low the drain
age from cesspools and vaults is greater
and the per cent of contamination greatly
increased.
Do not laugh at this as scientific non.
sense or tinespun theory. The truth of
this statement has been verified too many
times in a way that brings lasting re.
membrance and great sorrow. If you
are in a locality where there is any question
concerning the purity Of the water, take
this simple precaution of boiling the water
you use. STANLEY +. PARKiLL.

THE PRESIDENTS CHECK.

Blind to Draw Money from Over
confident Democrats.

A dispatch from New York on Monday
last says that Chairman Brice has been out
West interviewing the Democratic leaders
of Illinois and other States Each leader
and political boss wanted aid from the
National Committee. They told him they
wanted slice from ClevelaDds 5000
check and portion of the money sub
scribed on the strength OF the Presidents
donation. Brice grew voluble and lcaky,
and permitted the story TO leak out that
Cleveland had never contributed a cent to
the campaign fund, much less $40, 900.
1t was blind to get rich Democrats 10 en-
ulate the example Of the President The
scheme was worked up in such way that
it finally got into print, just exactly what
some members of the Democratic National
Committee wanted. A few bitterly op.
posed the deception and deprecated the
trick, but when large checks began to
come in the disgrunlled members held
their peace and consoled themselves with
the philosophy that all is fair in politics.
Thus another chapter of Democrat fraud
is exposed to the public. Voters, do YOU

lend himself to such swindle on his
party associates

Dear iSir:-It Is known to most of my
friends in Genesee county that for some
years past, have acted and voted with
The Prohibition party. / don't think l
can consistently do so any longer, although
am believer In the principle Of prohi-
bition, and should be glad TO see theliquor
traffic wiped out forever. i have been
thinking over the matter good deal lately
and have come to the conclusion that
the Prohibition party is not helping tenn
perance as much as IL is helping the Dem
ocralic party. The people OF Michigan
do not seem TO be ready TO adopt prohibi.
tion, and trying to run third party,
however earnest and honest Prohibition
lists are, seems to be going against the
Republicans and and helping the Demo-
Gratis. l for one don't feel like helping in
any way TO elect Mr.. Burtfor Governor of
Michigan or Mr.. Cleveland for President.

Arrested for burglary.

Saturday night between IL and II
O'Clock, burglars broke into house on
Central avenue near Vernon avenue, and
carried away about $40 in cash and
bundle of papers containing deeds and
other documents of value. Yesterday
the detective force arrested a man by
the name of Tobe Wilson, who they be-
lieve to be one of the two who perpe-
trated the crime. Tobe is a gigantic fell
low, 6 feet inches in height, and the
tracks in the yard correspond to
his enormous feet He is short of
fingers on one hand, and the marks
made on the dusty surface
OF table in the room that was entered
show the same popularity in the hand
which was pressed there. A Chinaman
who was attacked by two men that same
night near the scene of the robbery has
identified Tobe as one of his assaiants.
A description OF the man was in the
hands Of the police, and they have been
looking for him for some time on an
other charge. 1t is said, moreover, by
one who claims to know that lobe

His Savings.
ROBBED WHILE UNCONSCIOUS.
A Man Found Mutilated at Crescenta
Canada-The Wolff Case to Come

LOCAL NOTES.
BBED WHILE UNCONSCIOUS.

One week ago man by the name of
George Green came into Los Angeles
from Pasadena with the intention of
having good time. He had been steadily
at work in livery stable for long time,
and had saved up $400. AS opportunities
for enjoying life in the peculiar way best
suited to his capacity were not offered by
the austere corporation of Pasadena, he
came to Los Angeles to spend the money.
he came in at the Santa Fe depot and
wandered up First street, taking in the
saloons on both sides of the way. By the
time he got to the Pullman Palace, which
was run by two Negroes named Thornton
and Leyton, he was feeling very tired,
and he decided to camp down there for
the day. From time to time he exhib-
tied the large roll OF bills in his pocket,
and declared that he WINS "heeled," and
he didn't care who knew it.
As the day proceeded the sight of that
roll OF bills is said to have preyed more
and more upon the minds of the
two proprietors and couple OF
hangers-on of the establishment,
one of them Negro named Sam Vena-
BILE, and the other white man, George
Beck alias Irish Pat. Green got more
and more liquor down his throat, some
OF it, he thinks, heavily drugged. When
at last he began to appreciate who he
was, he found himself out in the street
and penniless. He made his way to
the police station and told the story. BY
this time he had completely forgotten
where the saloon was at which he had
been robbed. The detectives took him
over the city, and he succeeded in iden-
tifying no less than five different places
as the location Of the affair.
The detective force took the matter in
hand, and has been at work steadily and
in perfect unison for week. Yesterday
the case was completed by the arrest Of
all four men charged with being con-
Cerped in the affair, and the obtaining of
of statement from two OF them hich
will serve as evidence against all.
George Beck says that on the 10Th he
was at the saloon called the Pullman
Palace. and saw Green and his partner
both drunk. They went down to the
cellar together, and after time Vena-
BILE followed them down stairs. When
Venable returned he had the money
or part of it in his possession. The
next day when Beck talked with Leyton
about the matter the latter gave him 81
and declared that Venable had gotten
away with all the money except IS. =
According to Venable's statement the
robbery was put up between the saloon
keepers and himself, out he declares
that he only took $50 of the money. He
throws out an insinuation that Irish Pat
got away with some of the "swag." The
two saloon-keepers refuse to.talk. The
successful working of the case reflects a
great deal of credit upon the detective
force of the city.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
A Youth Killed While Out ON
Hunt,

A Youth Killed While Out ON a
The Coroner went down to Santa Ana
yesterday evening to hold an inquest on
the body Of David N. Winbigler, youth
of nineteen, who had accidentally shot
himself while out hunting with his
brother. The two, David and Theodore,
drove out on road near Tustin Satur-
day afternoon, taking with them Win
chester rifle and shotgun. Finding no
game they began to shoot at mark from
the seat of the wagon. David was en-
gagged in the act of loading the
rifle and the shotgun lay over
the knees Of his brother, when the horse
started suddenly. The gun rolled of
Theodore's lap and was discharged while
the muzzle was pointing directly at Da-
vid's person. The charge entered his
body and arm and he fell out of the
wagon, the blood gushing from his
mouth. Medical aid was summoned,
but he died yesterday noon. The affair
took place about eleven miles from town,
near Tustin, on the San Joaquin ranch.
David was a native OF California and
worked for his father on the place which
they own on the outskirts of Santa Ana.
The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict
in accordance with these facts.

work. but he finally caught them at
Deming, N. NJ, 500 miles from the scene
OF the robbery, they having beaten their
way that distance in three days on pas
senger trains. The arrests gave the
names OF Fredenberg and Davies, the
latter individual being wanted for high
way robbery by the San Francisco police.
They confessed to the crime and Smith
took them to Bakersfield for trial and
they were held over and put in the
County Jail. Satisfied that the case was
practically over, Smith attended to some
other business and returned to this city
yesterday, where he was very much
disgusted to hear that his pris-
oners had escaped. In company with
three other jail-birds, they took up the
floor OF the room in which they were
confined, and under cover of the night
got clear away.
A dispatch was received later on stat

others, however. are still at large hrft
