FIRE BRIGADE.
An Enthusiastic MeetIng-Determ;ne

An Enthusiastic Meeting-Determine
TO Lead the Campaign.
Owing to the interest being taken in
the organization of uniform clubs the
Harrison and Reid Fire Brigade is deter
mined to be the banner club of the cam
paign, judging from the size OF last even
ing's meeting and the interest being
taken in the disposal Of their uniforms
The brigade has decided to allow no
one to participate in any of its demon
STATIONS who will not add credit to the
ranks-he must present a good appear
ance.
Walter Howard and Willie Robbins
were appointed as guides.
Chief Engineer Corsaw reported the
uniforms would be ready for distribution
next Monday. 1t was decided to hold a
special meeting for that purpose on that
evening.
President Jennings reported having
visited the National League meeting and
of receiving enc engagement from them
in regard to all the money required.
Remarks were made by several men,
bers for the good Of the brigade, after
which the body adjourned to enjoy the
hospitality of w. w. Rhoads, the Repub-
lican nominee for County Clerk, for
whom three rousing cheers were given.
The brigade now has close on to 800
members.

HIGHLY C0MMENDABLE,
That is the Opinion of the Trustees
Action.
The Interests OF the Whole City De-
mand a Complete Street Rail-
way System.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: 1 have up to the
present taken no part in the contro-
versy over street railway franchises in
north Sacramento, as custom had estab-
Hshed the rule that the question was one
to be settled locally, and did not, nor do
now, feel called upon to urge that +, G.
or III street shall be the favored one.
But recent developments have changed
conditions, and a new rule of action by
our Trustees becomes necessary. 1 well
coined the advent of the Folsom Water
power Company as a potent element in
the upbuilding of Sacramento, regarding
it us universal good, but L was alike
surprised and disappointed TO learn of
their attempt to force the Central Elec-
trio Company from the field of COMPETE
ton in north Sacramento, as l had sup
posed they made their application for b
and ii streets in good faith with knowl-
edge that fairness on the part Of the Board
OF Trustees would compel them to grant
the Henry franchise on CT. 1t is the
newly developed conditions that impels
me, as an interested citizen of Sacra-
mento, to make public my views and
knowledge of the facts.
In an interview with Mr.. Henry before
the Cemetery line was built the whole
matter OF connections, actual and con-
templated, was taken up and considered.
We all knew that traffic originating on
the Cemetery line would not pay current
expenses and interest on investment. 1t
was III the view of north town line and
the help OF traffic originating north from
street that prompted the construction
of the Cemetery line. To remain silent
now is to break faith with our benefact-
ors, as the people on Tenth street realize
that a less resolute man than Mr.. Henry
would never have built the Cemetery
line, and Sacramento City owes much to
MS energy, industry and faith; and in the
light of all the facts the action of the
board in granting the G-street franchise
is highly commendable, and l regret that
any considerable number of citizens op-
posed the granting of privilege so un-
important to another company, and yet
so vital to completion of the Central
Electric system. NJ. j. DILLMAN

Alarge, healthy bulldog was sitting to-
tally unaware of the dog catcher's wagon,
which came rafting down the street at
that moment. Suddenly the fatal lariat
shot out, but the dog lodged it and made
a bee line for the man who handled it.
Then ensued ar exciting chase, which
was much enjoyed by the populace in the
vicinity.
The dog catcher is never very popular
with people in general. In this instance
he succeeded in clambering into his
wagon minus his coattails.
A skirmish her ensued, which ended
in the temporary triumph of the dog,
who retired to repose on his laurels. The
dog catcher came back from ignomini-
GUS flight q few minutes later, however,
and human ingenuity soon triumphed
over brute courage. The dog was lassoed
and taken to the pound with other un-
fortunates.
But here the innate sense of justice in
man steps in to even up things. Several
admiring citizens had viewed the ac-
tions of the dog, and when he was cart
ed away they took up a subscription,
sent out to the pound, ransomed the ami
NAL and provided him with a home.
1t is a little comedy like this that
makes life seem worth living even to
the most dissatisfied individual.-Chi-

MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS.
Everybody Should Attend the Tur-
ner Hall Smelter Meeting.
Plans and Specifications Will be
Presented and Explained.
Expectation That the Deal Will be
Closed This Evening.

Yesterday was a very busy day with the
general committee OF the board of trade
which has the smelter bonus under con-
sideration. The committe consists of
Mayor Bresnaken, j. G. Baird, I. A.
Kent, @. W. Riner and Russell L. Tracy.
Mr.. Blanchard was driven about the
city to secure a general view of some of
the property comprised in the bonus.
Notwithstanding the hundred and one
witty remarks which he was credited
with having made concerning the same,
he was extremely conservative in his ex-
pressions although frank in his conversa-
lions in regard to the smelter. He told
the committee to 20 ahead and list the
to fix what they considered a just valua-
ton upon each separate piece. There
were about 100 different individual con-
tributions of real estate to thus pass upon,
nearly all OF them embracing several dis
tinct pieces of property. In some in
stances certain lands we're speci-
fed and out of this, property to
a certain specified valuation was to
he selected. leaving to the Judgment of
the committee the equitable amount. In
the great majority of cases, however, the
valuations were placed by the donors
themselves on specific pieces Of property;
iu many cases this valuation was too high
and in Others excessively 30. The com
mittee carefully took up each successive
piece. Each Of the five men placed what
he considered a fair valuation upon 1t,
FIVE and the result was the average of the
judgment of the committee and the value
decided on. As was quite natural there
was a good fat shrinkage and the balance re-
quired must meet the same rigid scrutiny
of the committee. The entire subject in
all its details will h. presented at the
Turner hall meeting this evening and the
detailed plans of the smelter shown and
explained by Mr.. Blanchard.
These plans reached here Yesterday
afternoon. They we're examined with a
great degree OF interest by many visitors
to Mr.. B~lauchari's rooms at the Inter
Ocean hotel yesterday. As was shown in
THE LEADER of Sunday they bespeak
very much fner and more expensive
buildings than have been anticipated.
The architect, IN an accompanying note,
says they will be the finest in the country
when completed for they are constructed
as an entirety instead of by piecemeal as
is the usual custom. The consequence is
that they are symmetrical in all their
proportions, and as they will be SON
structed out of the very best materials
will present an imposing appearance.

.sGood MOrnIng.''

Good morning; find day." Generally
throughout the country the mornings and
days are very fine. but there is a lurking
mischief behind these Establishments of
the season. which it will be well to watch
and provide against. 1t comes like a
thief in the night, stealthily, and it Is
numbering its victims by thousands. Men
are careless or Indifferent. 1t is so pleas
ant to be out in the air. But 1t must be
remembered that the air is charged with
excessive moisture, which penetrates and
chills. The grip has become so epidemic
that whole communities are prostrated.
A peculiar feature of the maladv is that
all 81 affected have rheumatic aches and
pains, stiffness and soreness of the mus
cles and acute misery in the Joints. All
these symptoms indicate what ought to he
done to prevent and cure. One good rub
bling with st. Jacobs Oil, in time, will so
strengthen and soothe that no further
trouble will be had. In all rheumatic
complaints, whether transient or chronic
for years. in every form of pain, mild or
violent, it is the best remedy of the age.

Zehner. Jr., will open a branch ~jewelry
store there and "a. Ringolskv. who is now
at the camp, is considering the situation.
Luke Voorhees,, who has known that
region for many years, will probably take
a run down there, aud Sheriff Kelley,

ski,,fur Canine EquestrianIsm.

There's an unrivaled exhibition of
canine equestrianism to be seen on the
streets of Chicago almost any day,
which has fully as much or even mort
real merit about it than one will see in
similar displays that are made in any of
the greatest shows on earth" The
performer is an exceptionally intelli-
gent water spaniel, and he is a rider of
skill. His act consists, in a word, of
riding a delivery wagon horse whose
driver usually enforces a pel nell gait.
The spaniel sits his mount with his
hind feet on the horses collar, or where
the collar would come, and his front
feet, one ahead of the other, on the mar
row ridge of the horses neck, his claws
clutched in the mane. The faster the
horse goes the better the dog seems to
like it, judging from his many barks
and lively way in which he wags his
tail The sudden rounding of a corner
never catches the plucky little animal
off his guard, but at 'such times he will
curve in" with apparently the intelli-
gence of the most accomplished circus
rider, and SO never loses his balance.
He has fallen but once in the two years
that his owner says he has been riding,
and that was when the horse came near
being killed by a cable car.
The horse never goes 80 well as when
carrying the dog, and that of course
means that horse and dog are warm
friends. Woe to the person or animal
who bothers either of them when the
other is around, for between the kicking
of the horse and the biting of the dog
the two old chums make it exceedingly
unpleasant for intruders. Chicago Trib-
