A WORD OF ADVICE. "Wednesday
afternoon, when Maj. Thomas rode
into town and brought the news that
an unknown white man was lying
dead in the hall, our coroner was so
drunk that he could not take
charge of the case. This is only
one of several occasions, and we
think the time has now arrived
for us to observe that if Dick Blodgett
doesn't brace right up and head in a
new direction something will happen.
Out this way we never wait to impeach
an incompetent official nor is COM

given chance to git. If he doesn't
take it, the next pull leaves him up

A GREAT WELL.
1t Seems to Have Tapped a Subter-
ranean River.
The Experiment at Oak Park n Sur
prise to Al.-Tbo Well is Ap-
parently InexhaustibIe.

The experimental well at Oak Park is
proving a wonder. 1t continues to sup
ply the pump with fifty thousand gallons
an hour, which is at the rate of more than
million gallons day.
There is an immense pressure of water
from below, as the reader will under
stand from the statement that the water
comes through the six-inch pipe (the di-
ameter of the lower ninety feet of the
well) at the rate of fifteen feet per second.
This shows that there must be perfect
torrent Of water pouring through the
great gravel strata east Of the city It is
the intention of the committee of citizens
having charge of the experiment to con-
struct box to hold a considerable guam
tity Of the water that is being pumped,
where the sand can settle, and to provide
number of drinking cups, so that the
public may test the water freely and pass
Judgment upon its quality. y quantity
viii also be forwarded to the State Uni
versity to be analyzed.
The pump will be kept running at the
well to-day, also during the afternoon to-
morrow for the benefit Of all who may
wish to visit and inspect its workings.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
No More Granite Steps in Capitol
Park Till 1893.
The Estimate of the Money Required
for the Purpose was Too Low
The Sidewalk Goes.

The granite steps for the Capitol
grounds viii have to go uncompleted un
I'll the meeting OF another Legislature.
The Legislature of 1889 made an appro-
priation of S17, $50 to construct ten tiers of
granite steps on the grounds. The whole
amount estimated by competent stone
cutting firms to be sufficient to complete
this work was expended on four flights,
and about enough rock was cut for one
more.
The last Legislature appropriated $1,000
to complete the work in the same style as
that already done.
The present Board of Capitol Commits
sioners claimed to be able to make 5000
go as far as the 1890 of their predeces-
sors. They advertised for bids, none of
which came within the sum appropriated
for the purpose. The lowest bid was
trifle short of $1,000, showing that the ap-
preparation of 1889 was ample to complete
the whole work if it had been let by con-
tract, instead of by days labor.
1t is desirable that the steps be COM
pleted, as the dressed stone is piled up in
an unsightly manner on the grounds,
but 1t is understood that the Capitol
Commissioners do not intend to exceed
the letter of the law, as they interpret it, in
regard to the completion of the steps.
The law appropriates $4,000 to complete
the work, which cannot be done for that
sum, and the Board Of Examiners can
not by virtue of another law create
debt to finish the work except it be
case Of unavoidable necessity.
1t is said that the Capitol Commission
erS think there is no absolute necessity
for completing the steps any more than
there has been in the past, and decline to
assume responsibility in the premises
beyond what is provided for in the stat
utes. The work will, therefore, have to
be postponed until the next Legislature
meets.
The Commissioners have on hand an
appropriation of S1S,400 with which to
build a fence and put down granite curb
lngs and a cement sidewalk around Capt.
toI Park. 1t seems that the character of
the work was decided on long ago, and
all that remains to be done is to advertise
for bids. 1t has been very difficult of late,
however, to get a full meeting of the
board, and progress has been thus de-
layed.
The fence will consist of granite posts
and tapering slightly toward the top, set
IN bed of concrete. The posts will be
fifteen feet apart, and each will have an
ornamental cast-iron cap, from which
will be hung a single chain. The posts
will be three and a half feet in hight.
The granite curbings will first be put
down, and as the work on these progresses
the concrete walks will be laid.

HOPE DEFERRED.
The Worlds Fair Commissioners Be-

ginning TO Lose Heart.
The gentlemen composing the Worlds
Fair Commission are very uneasy over
the continued uncertainty regarding the
validity of the Act of the last Legislature
appropriatIng S30O,0 for the purpose of
making creditable State display at the
Columbian Exposition. There is great
deal to be done, but the Commissioners
are tied hand and foot by the refusal of
the State Controller to draw warrants
against the appropriation, and by the Su-
preme Courts inability to decide the case.
One Of the Supreme Justices stated to
RECORD UNION reporter the other day
that it was impossible to say just when
the court would be able to pass upon the
question submitted to it. The work of
the court is greatly behind, although its
members have labored hard to keep as
nearly up with it as possible, ,iand he did
not feel like haZarding even a guess as to
when the case will be decided.
A. t. Hatch, who is a member of the
Worlds Fair Commission, was in the city
yesterday. He expressed great disap-
pOintment at the unavoidable delay in the
matter, and said he would have resigned
from the commission but for the desire of
his colleagues to have him stay with
them and see the thing out.

Near Capay Valley.
Abe May and his brothers are putting
in their spare time trapping foxes and
other 'critters,' says the Esparto Inde-
pendent. They recently caught, along
with number of foxes, two animals
which some say are ring-tailed makis.
Others, who saw one of the animals. call
it mountain cat" 1t was quite tame,
and if touched would lick the hand or OBJ
ject. We compared it with picture of
q ring-tailed maxi found in Websters

blance, that the only difference we could
perceive was in the feet
Those of Mr.. Nays animal were like a
half-grown kitten, while the pictured
makIs look more like a monkeys. E.
i. Warren quizzically asked if it might
not be cross between a maxi and a cat.
The maxi is stated to be native of Mad
agascar and neighboring islands. 1t
might be possible that several of these
animals at some time in the distant past
were brought to this coast and obtained
their liberty.

Pay Firemen's Salaries.
Henry C. Dibble, in the name of the
State of California and as attorney for
Auditor Smiley of San Francisco, has
fled complaint there against John
Willis, which is case testing the power
of the Supervisors to appoint additional
officers in the fire department. Under
the law the Fire Commissioners ap-
pointed two assistant engineers of the
hre department, at salaries of Sl5O a
month, and in March, 1883, the Super
visors authorized the Commissioners to
appoint two additional engineers.
In March, 1890, the Supervisors author
lied the Commissioners to appoint an
other engineer, making five such engi-
neers, and Willis was the appointee. He
presented his claim for services TO the
Auditor, who refused to issue warrant
therefor, on the ground that his appoint
ment was illegal, for the reason that the
law only authorized the Supervisors to
appoint four assistants.

1t required several strong men to hold
her. Many of the spectators in the court
room thought that the lady was dying,

Mrs. Silva was carried into District At

were applied. She finally recovered
