A Sad Fatality.
the fellow

On Monday evening of this week, at
Nebraska, one of the ssddest fatalities
that has yet taken place in that sec.
ton, occurred just as the men we're
about leaving their work for the day,
the unfortunate victim being Addison
Walters, son Of James Walters, Of
Newmapsville, and brother of Charles
Walters Of this place. The board Of
township road commissioners, of which
the deceased was a member, were re.
moving the timbers of the old bridge
that spans the creek pond at that
place, in order TO facilitate the work
of building the abutments of the new
iron bridge in course of construction.
They were taking the timbers down
separately in order to save the iron
that was in them. Mr.. Walters and
Charlie Klinesiiver we're the last to
quit work, and had just about finished
removing the burs from some iron rods
that held a large oak timber stick,
12x15 inches square and 20 feet long,
when the fastening gave way. Both
men jumped for their lives, but "Ad,'
as he was familiarly called, slipped
aud partially fell, and before he could
recover the timber struck him on the
back of the head, just at the base OF
the brain, crushing him down on the
boat which was being used to carry
away the timbers. In an instant his
companion had, by a superhuman
effort lifted the big stick off his body,
but, with the exception of slight
tremor of the muscles, the young man
showed no sign of life, and death was
doubtless instantaneous. Willing
hands lent every assistance in their
power, but nothing could be done but
to convey the lifeless remains to the
boarding house. Relatives were dis.
patched for aud soon arrived upon the
scene.
Ad. was one of the steadiest and
most industrious young men of his
class; popular with all who knew him,
and respected and esteemed for bis
honesty and integrity. His tragic
death was severe shock to the com.
munity with which he had been iden.
titled for a number of years, and sym.
pathy for his stricken parents, brothers,
and other relatives is expressed by all
He was aged % years, 5 months and
13 days, and unmarried.
The funeral takes place to-day al
2:30. the remains being inferred in the
Newmansville cemetery. Quite q
number of the friends of the deceased
from this place are in attendance, in
cluding some of the brethren Of the l

THE PROBLEM ANswERED.-
An Eastern FABLE.

A man from Athens, who was want to please
Himself alone, once Travelled out of Greece
But thought no other folks so wise and
grand
AS those belonging to his native land.
So, wandering to that city, the worlds best
gem,
He soon was quartered in Jerusalem;
But quiZZed each one he met day after day,
After the old, well known, Socratic way
For much he boosted of his Attic wit,
And thought Jew, of course had not q BIZ
or mental shrewdness-such was his con
ceit-
Until little boy he CHANGED to meet.
MY little boy" said he, "bere is a mite;
I'm very hungry, and want Il bite;
Buy of some food, al you and can eat,
And have some left to give upon the street."
The boy received the mite, and found a
store,
ana got an ounce OF salt, or something more
rms IS the food" he said, ''for us to-day
enough for f~o and some to gre aray!'''

The soldier at ;he next station mistook
this for a signal, 80 he deliberately
but promptly hang himself, also.
In consequence of the discipline which
prevails in the Russian army, next

! TAX-L0WERING PLAN AND AN
ANSWER

A large property-owner, rich man,
who has made all his money in Sacra-
mento, said yesterday, 81 shall vote against
the 100000 proposition" "Whyg
Simply because in the past / have paid
for the Improvement of intersections by
front-foot assessment, and / want others to
do the same. 1t is not fair to tax me now
anew for other intersection work"
How mistaken this man was, and he was
convinced of it in few moments. In all
the past he has not paid for street inter-
section work; on the contrary, he has done
so only for few years past, for prior to
the passage of the Vrooman Act Sacra-
mento maintained street-intersection
fund, and out of it intersection costs were
paid. That fund was raised by general
taxation. To that system, by the means
now suggested, it is proposed to return.
In the instance referred to we calculated
the actual cost to the citizen we have
quoted, if the election to morrow should
be determined affirmatiyely, and to his in
tense establishment it was found to be less
than the tax he now pays for the present
annual street-repair fund, which the i'm
provement proposition will almost abolish.
That property-owner went home friend
of the Improvement scheme and will vote
for it tomorrow as money-saving and
tax-lowering proposition

AN ADDRESS TO VOTERS.

We invite attention to an address in an
other column prepared by committee of
the Improvement Association and directed
to the voters of Sacramento. 1t ought to
be read and pondered to-day by all voters
at all in doubt concerning their duty to-
morrow We invite special attention to
the clause of the address under the SUBJ
head "A Money-saving Scheme" 1t is
there shown clearly that to adopt the i'm
provement proposition is actually to save
money to every taxpayer by greatly re-
ducing the taxation for the maintenance
of the street-repair fund. 1t is shown that
had the proposed scheme been in opera
ton this year the taxpayers would have
saved to their purses the sum of $4,000
So then the vote in the affirmative to-
morrow is vote TO lower taxation.
The address points out that experience
has demonstrated that permanent street
Improvement is the shortest and surest
road TO securing the upbuilding of other
material interests. IL SugSeSIs, diSoy tue
injustice Of throwing all the travel of the
city in the stormy seasons upon the few
streets the property-owners have already
graded and graveled with commendable
public spirit. 1t makes clear precisely
what is TO be voted upon tomorrow, that
is, practical return to the former system
of paying one-fourth the cost of street work
out of fund raised by general taxation.
That was the policy practically in Sacra-
mento until 1885, when the Vrooman Act
interposed and put the whole cost of all
street work upon the property-owners.
Why should not the citizens who use the
streets, and still own no property, Fay
some part Of the cost Of making them
Who can advance single good reason
negatively to that proposition Why not,
as the address well asks, attract outside
capital by the cleanliness of our streets
and their uniform good condition? Who
sit who wants strangers repulsed by the
condition of highways such as were to be
eeen in this city last winter? As Is we'll
mi in the address, the proposition of to-
morrow is one to invite more residents and
greater trade, to encourage local improve.

A MoNEY-sAv1NG PROPOSITION.

There is one feature that is involved in
the election tomorrow that should not
escape attention; to wit, under the pro-
posed new system the taxation for street
repairs will be amazingly less than now
and heretofore. That is to say, the greater
part of the sum expended annually for
rounding up dirt streets and undoing the
rayages of winter will be saved to the
people. This saving will far exceed the
interest we will have to pay on the loan
we propose to make, together with the
amount the law requires to be paid annu-
ally on the principal
As simple proposition of economy,
therefore, to vote for the bond proposition
is to actually Uote to reduce tares. For in
stance, the cost to the people of the city
for street repairs this year, collected by
taxation, amounts to $4,000. Now if all
the streets that should be graded and
paved were in that condition, the cost for
repairs would not be one-third of that
amount, including the interest on so much
of the hundred thousand dollars as we
pay, and the percentage of principal that
must be put aside annually to meet the
discharge of the debt. This simple fact
ought to be conclusive of the whole cues.
