FARMERS MEETING.
It is Called to Consider the Hydraulic
Mining Question.

Mining question.
The report of the Anti Debris Associa-
ton, published in the RECORD UNION on
Monday, appears to have aroused the
farmers whose lands border on the
American River. Ex-senator Joseph
Routier, j. E. Camp and John Rooney
have issued call for meeting of farm
ers and citizens of this city and county,
to be held at Grangers' Hall at l o'clock
on Friday next. The call reads:
"A meeting of the farmers and other
citizens of Sacramento City and county is
herewith called for l o'clock Friday, De-
cember 4th, at Changers Hall, in Sacra-
mento City, to consider the subject of
hydraulic mining and the prospective
action of the Sacramento Board of Super
visors in relation thereto.
Every person who realizes the neces-
sity of prompt and efficient measures for
the suppression of unlawful mining and
the protection of the farms of our people.
and the preservation of the rivers as the
great free highways of commerce, is in
vited to be present.

Shrinkage of Fees.

The fees of the Sheriff's office for the
month Of November amounted to only
SS3 80. Last month the fees footed up
over $500. Sheriff Stanley explains that
the shrinkage is due TO the fact that he
had no large sales to attend to during No
vember, and that there was very little
civil business in the courts-most of the
cases tried being criminal.

An index to the bills of the Legislature
has been issued from the State Printing
Office. 1t was compiled under the direc-
ton Of State Librarian Perkins.
The volume will be found quite useful
to members of the next Legislature, as it
will not only acquaint them with the
titles of deserving measures, but also of
those which it would be wise to leave un-
resurrected.

Robert E. Reed, the bootblack, who
some time go locked his affections with
those of Hattie Miller, the daughter of
noisy Mrs. Miller, appeared in the Police

The difference between the two had been
settled, however, before the court opened,
and at the request of the complainant the
case was dismissed on payment of costs.

Lines Discontinued.
The Central Electric Railway Company
yesterday discontinued the Highland
Park horse-car line, also the cars on K

1t appears that most of the Highland
Park residents travelled on the electric
cars, which run at the eastern end of the
track, while the hOrse-car line entered
the latter on the west side, only -four
blocks distant.
The k-street line east of Tenth carried
very few passengers, being between the j

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov 27-Some time ago
the commissioners of the Western traffic
association granted the application of The
Southern Pacific road for authority to paw
q certain commission on transcontinen-
tai immigration business. The grant
ing of such authority gives.
the Southern Pacific au advantage
which was designed to Offset all the disad-
vantages in other directions. Since that
time complaints have been made by other
roads that they We're unable to obtain their
share of the immigrant business because
of the high commission paid by
fhe Southern Pacific and Canadian
Pacific and the agitation became so great
commissioners thought it advisable to
reopen the the rates. At their meeting last
weeko they issued an order which it is
thought will settle the difficulty The COM
1lissioners decided that they made mis-
take in allowing any transcontinental line
an advantage in this respect, and that
commissions should be uniform. The order
provides that beginning at Fort Worth no
commissions higher than Sl3 from Chicago
and IL from the Missouri river shall be
paid on efnigrant business to Califor-
mia. These are the amounts for
merly paid to agents by all
lines cut the agreement has
been dead letter for many months and the
roads have been taking such individual &C.
traffic. This caused the decentralization
that resulted in the reduction of the rates
themselves.
Chairman Walkers order is peremptory
and distinctly sets forth that no existing
contracts or agreements for commissions
must stand in the way of its immediate en-
fOrcement.

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-Chancellor Won Ca
priv was present at tie session of the
reichstag to-day ana in short speech re-
ferred 10 the rumors which have been Cir
culated that he intended to resign his posi-
tiou. He said that the rumors
We're ridiculous He was by no
means tired of holding office. and
he declared that he intended 10 remain
ut his post as long as the emperor was
pleased to retain his services. This an
nOuncement by the chancellor was greeted
with applause. After denying that
he intended to resign he refuted
the reproacheS uttered against the govern
ment on account of its so-called vacillating
policy. Truth and frarkness, he said,
We're the best methods in foreign politics.
The kaiser's journey to Russia, he
continued, had established friendly in
tercOurse between the two monarchs, but
no political matters had been discussed be-
tween them. The press has INDUCED in
too much drumming and trumpetine in re-
to Cronstadt which had engendered
on the other side more drumming. The po-
sition by France and Russia toward
the dreibund had not changed,
but there is no need of inca

avoid calumny. The cars government was

mament in Europe the gel eral said this
would continue much longer uninfiuenced
by rules adopted by the peace congress-
II was, however, matter of satisfaction
that the general preparedness for war had
increased a desire for peace. Con-
tinuing, the chancellor said that the
abolition of compulsory passports in
Alsace-Lorraine has been regarded as an
act OF weakness, but the continuance Of
that system Us permanency was
possible. The assimilation of Reich
land with Germany was progressing
surely, the best connecting link was the
army. After few generations the Reich
land question would be settled. There
was no cause for difference on ac-
count of the army Although certain

the worth of an army according to its num-
berS was wrong. Germany never before

Made Rich by q Dream.

Before Watts, the discoverer of the pres
ent mode of making shot, had his notable
dream, the manufacture of shot was q
slow, laboriOus and consequently costly
process. Great bars of lead had to be
pounded into sheets of thickness nearly
equal to the diameter of the shot desired.
These shot had then to be cut into little
cubes, placed i'll revolving barrel, and
there rolled around until, by the constant
friction, the edges wore off from the little
cubes, and they became spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain trying
to discover some better and less costly
scheme, but in vain. Finally, after spend
ing an evening with some boon compan-
ions at the alehouse, he went home, went
to. bed and soon fell asleep. His slumbers,
however, were disturbed by unwelcome
dreams, in one of which he was out again
with ''the boys" and as they were STUN
bling home it began to rain shot-beauti-
full globules of polished, shining lead-in
such numbers that he and his companions
had to seek shelter.
In the morning Watts remem bered his
curious dream, and it obtruded itself on
his mind all day. He began to wonder
what shape molten lead would assume in
falling through the air, and finally, to set
his mind at rest, he assembled to the top of
the steeple of the church of st. Mary, at
Radcliffe, and dropped slowly and regular
ly ladelful of molten lead into the moat
below. Descending, he took from the bot
tom of the shallow pool several haudfuls
of the most perfect shot he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made, for from this
exploit emanated the idea of the shot tow
er, which ever since has been the only
means employed in the manufacture of the
little missiles so important in war and
sport.-Philadelphi Bulletin.
