MAGAZINES
ROMANCE.

The June number of Romance, the
New York Story Clubs magazine, Is
now interesting, and all of great merit.
There is no better travelling companion
than Romance, and those who are
about to start on their summer Jaunt
willg do well to leave a place in their
gripsacks for the June number.
There are four original stories In the
June Romance. E. II. Lewis writes OF
a strange duel which took place IN
Vienna several years ago. Charles
Scates e%ontributs a love story which
is interesting-as ali such stories must
be-and very effectively told. S. Il.
Behrend describes a bit of detective
work. This story was written in Ger
man, and was translated for Romance
bv |. Furst. One phase of life in the
coal regions is the theme which en-
cages the pen of Daniel Dane, Besides
these there is a story by the distin-
guished Spanish novelist, Don Pedro
A. de Alarcon, dealing with events In
the Carlist war. 1t was translated for
Romance by E. J. Fagundus.
Among the writer's in Romance for
June are Maurice Thompson, M. Quad,
Edward S. Van Zile, Margaret Sutton
Briscoe, Ada Cunnick Inchbold, Acton
Davies and William Wallace Cook.
These are all charming story t~ellers,
and they never appeared to better
advantage than they do in the maya
zine of the New York Story Club.
The stories in the June Romance are
of all varieties. The account Of a
strange confession of a murder, the
story of a novel duel, the description
of a mysterious incident in the New
Orleans of seventy years ago, two war
sketches, a railroad comedy, aromance
of the Rocky Mountains, a tale of the
Pennsylvania coal regions, a ghost
story, two spirited biographies of
heroic men, a story of the plains, one
of the Carlist war in Spain, a detective
story, the account of a remarkable
wedding Journey-in such an assert
ment as this there is surely something
to interest every reader of fiction.
Romance is published monthly for
the New York Story Club, by w. H.
Benton, 80 East twenty-third Street,
New York, % cents a copy, $500 a

THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.

A never failing charm of The Ladies'
Home Journal is that it is always
abreast of the season; somehow it
presents just the things n wants
most to see at the particular time 1T

of the June number, with it's dainty
pages for the Brides of June, FlOrance
Howe Halls I'm Church, or at Home?"
Mrs. Mallon's suggestions for brides
and their maids, and Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's clever comparisons between
women and flowers. Quite as timely,
also, are the portrait sketch of Lady
Agnes Macdonald, and the wife of
Canada's Premmier; Sister Rose Ger
trude's description of Life Among
the .-Lepers at Molokai" Charles J.

gestions in Horseback Riding for
Women" by Carl A. Nyegaard, of
the New York Riding Club, and Miss
LIE Garde's GLOW to Dress for Bicycle

breezy outdoor spirit pervades also
the usual department pages. Mrs.
Whitney's GA Golden Gossip" and
GA Soul from Pudge's Corners" Jessie
F. O'DonnelI's strong serial, are both
continued, and "Buck" Ewing, of the

the coming summer numbers. Issued

The Commissioners VIII soon Have
improvements Undcr Way.
There have been many comments made
upon the fact that none Of the improve
ments in Capitol Park for which the last
Legislature provided have yet been COM
menced. The State Capitol Commission
ers have, however, decided to imme-
diately begin the work for which money
was appropriated. Bids are to be received
first for the construction Of six tiers OF
granite steps, similar 20 those leading to
the building from Tenth and l. streets.
The granite already on hand must be
used by the party TO whom the contract
is awarded, ana there is 10 be no reckless
expenditure OF the States money. The
party who takes the contract must state
his price for building the six tiers, and do
the work according TO the specifications.
The commission will also soon proceed
TO have the cement sidewalk laid around
the Park on n street. from Twelfth to
Fifteenth, on Fifteenth from l. to n, and
on L from Twelfth TO Fifteenth, for which
the Legislature provided. 1t is expected
that the walk will be put down before the
year is out.
The fence TO be built around the eastern
section of the Park is to be of neat de-
sign. The base Will be of granite blocks
and granite posts, connected by chains,
viii be set at regular intervals.

PURE AND CLEAR.
Water in the Swimming Baths Changed
Constantly.


1t is remarkable what delight people
take in repeating and circulating reports
that are slanderous or injurious to 9TH
ers. A week or two ago some ill-dis-
posed person started report that the
water at the new swimming baths was
only changed twice week. Others took
up the false statement and circulated 1t
industriously until a large number OF
people came to believe it.
A RECORD-UN reporter was de
tailed to learn the exact facts, ana Is apIe
to affirm that the water in the great sWlm-
ming tank is entirely changed every day
and is running in and out all the tlne.
Some persons may have been led TO be-
lieye that no water is coming in the tank
when it is shut off at the 'talls at the
south end, but this is a mistake. The
water from the hOt-waJer tank comes IN
from tho bottom and that from the new
heating apparatus at point on the south
end of the tank, but below the water line.
1t is necessary, therefore, when the tenl-
peratUre of the water gets too low to shut
Off the cold water at the falls" aud M
ject heated water from the bottom and
end There is no bathing tank in the
whole country where the water is as pure
and clean as in these baths. The water
is pumped direct from an irOn-cased well
over 100 feet deep and drawn from pure
gravel deposit. 1t is soft, pure and free
from alkali, and is equal, II not superior,
to any water in the city for domestic pur-
poses.
The swimming baths are great public
blessing, and why any Sacramentan
should wish to iniurc such an institution
is beyond conception.

a HEAVY LOSS.

Destruction Of a. Menke's uop-KiIn
and Its Contents Yesterday.
A hop-house on one of A. Menke's
ranches near Brighton was destroyed
early yesterday morning, with about BOG
bales of hops, the result Of two weeks
picking.
F. w. Menke and a gang of seven or
eight men were at work about the build
ing at the time, and they all say that the
breaking out Of fire was followed by a
severe explosion.
The building was 64xI4O feet in size,
and Of the usual construction for drying
and curing hops. In each end of the
structure were two heating rooms, each
containing a large box-stove, with hot-air
pipes passing upward through the dry
ing-room on the upper floor
Just in what part of the building the eX-
pIosion occurred the men could not say.
except that il was somewhere in the
north end. Mr.. Menke stated to a REC
ORD UNION reporter that it was of such
force as to break in two timbers Gx6
inches in size, and raised the roof clear of
the building. +. W. Menke thought it
was in the cOohng-room, the large space
between the heating rooms.
y. Menkc says the loss will amount to
between SIS, 900 and $4,000. and that there
was no insurance on any portion of the
property destroyed. He said the explo-
sion could not have occurred from tho
stoves, as there was nothing 10 explode.
The building is supplied with hose for
fire use, but the flames spread so rapidly
that they could not be checked.
Mr.. Menke was in the city when he re-
Ceived the news of his loss, and FASTENED
at once 10 the hop-ranch, only to find
that the report was too true-thc building
and all its contents had vanished.
He came TO the city at once and sought
Chief Drew, who promised to send a de-
tective TO the ranch Mr.. Menke offering
a large reward for the arrest and con-
Yiction of the person or persons who
caused the explosion.

Nichols was summoned to attend Chi
nese woman who had taken an overdose
of opium, and he found her in room in
one of the brothels on the south side of I
street, between Second and Third.
Several Chinese men and women were
gathered about her, intently watching
the unfortunate woman as she gasped for
breath. They informed the doctor that
she had taken the opium on the preced-
ing afternoon, but they did not suppose
she had taken too much.
The case is like all in which the Chi
ncSe are involved. They all say she took
it herself with suicidal intent on account
of some trouble. II is said the woman
has a husband in San Francisco. She is

The woman was still alive last night,

The Weather Bureaus reports of yes
terday show the barometer to have fallen
in Washington and Oregon, where it read
nearly or quito as low as in this city,
which is the cause Of the cessation of the
northerly winds and excessive heat. For
instance, on Sunday it was 1922, on Mon
day 1902, and yesterday but 90o, while the
lowest was down to 59'.
The highest and lowest temperatures

When the Columbus Brewing Company

No objection was offered at the time, and
the court made the appointment. Bron-

Clinton L. White, VINO is Sheriff stan

receiver for 5he first thirty days. lie had
already made out the Sherih's bond and
had ii ready for filing.
After hearing the attorneys argument
the court set aside the former order, and
substituted the Sheriff as receiver.
