THE SLEEPING BRAVES.

a Large Congregation Attends the
synagogue Last Evening.
The memorial services held at the Syn
agogue on Sixth street, and conducted by
Rev. j. L. Levy, called out good audi
ence, the Synagogue being fairly crowded.
The decorations were very tastefully ar
ranged, and consisted of flags, flowers
and the banners of the various Grand
Army Posts draped and festooned about
the altar and walls.
Some seyenty-five members of the
Grand Army marched to the Syna-
gogue in body, and entering took seats
reserved for them at the front.
The opening service OF prayer and song
was impressiyely rendered, after which
the Rabbi read the first chapter from the
Book OF Reuben, and followed with an
appropriate and able sermon. He inter
spersed his address with many patriotic
references to the history OF our country,
the martyred Lincoln and the great and
incentive results OF the civil war, saying
that the sun never shone on a grander
army than that which volunteered in re-
spouse to Lincoln's call.
He eulogized Memorial Day as an an
nuaI appeal TO patriotism, and held that
1t strengthened love for civil liberty and
union.
The audience was very attentive and
evidently deeply impressed with the serv
ices.

WANTS His CHILDREN.
Augustus Laue Complains in Court of
His Wife'S Actions.
He Declares That She is Keeping His
Little Ones From Him-An
Unhappy Family.

Augustus Laue appeared before Supe-
rior Judge Catlin yesterday with his at
tcrney, A. L. Hart, and petitioned the
court to issue an order directing Laue's
wife to permit him to have something to
sayregarding the raising of their children.
The Laues have been quarreling for
some time and do not live together. About
year ago Mrs. Laue sued for divorce
in Judge Catlin's court, but the latter,
after hearing the evidence, denied the Pc
tition, saying that her grievances were
exaggerated. The court directed that in
the event of the husband and wife not re-
suming marital relations, the two chill
dren, both girls of tender years, should
remain in the custody of the mother tenn
porarily, but that the father should see
them when he desired, and direct their
education, etc. Laue called on his chill
dren often and, he says, offered induce
ments to his wife to permit him to liVein
the same house with the children-alI of
which she refused.
When the matter came up in court yes
terday Laue, through his attorney, repre-
sented that he was willing to provide
maintenance for his family, provided
they would live in his house. He did not
insist that his wife should speak to him.
or be friendly with him, but he did insist
that he should have the children under
his immediate care.
The children are at present with Mrs.
Laue at the latter's mothers house. and
Mrs. Laue's attorney, G. \. Post, argued
that matters should be allowed to stand
as they are. The children were being well
cared for, and the father could see them
whenever he desired. The attorney also
asserted that Laue's only object in try
ing TO compel his family to live with
him was to win his wife back again. She
had had enough of him, however, he
said.
Judge Catlin said that Mrs. Laue was
acting wrongly if she prevented her hus-
band exercising his rights as regards the
care Of the children. He did not suppose
that there was any prospect of recon
ciliation, and while he did not like to
take the children from their mothers
care, yet he recognized that the father had
rights which the law says must be re-
spected.
The court was somewhat puzzled over
the matter, as whole, and took the case
under advisement for a week.

STILL OUT OF IT.
The Farmers Down the River Not Yet
Injured.
Civil Engineer Boyd Thinks the Levees
are in Pretty Good Condition,
After All.

Another twenty-four hours of anxiety
to the dwellers in the lowlands along the
river has passed, and still the water
soaked levees continue to hold the river
in it's course.
Yesterday forenoon the river rose an
inch in this city, and was full twenty
seven feet. Then, when the breeze died
away in the afternoon, the gauge showed
an inch less water, the river standing at
6 O'Clock last evening at twenty-six feet
eleven inches.
Down at Freeport the gopher-holes gave
considerable trouble, but at o'clock last
night P. G.. Riehl telephoned to the
RECoRD-UNION that everything was in
good considering that
their sand-bag embankment would
Withstand considerable more water.
There was rumor about noon that the
Yolo levee had gone out at Vests place,
opposite Oak Hall, but twas soon proved
that there was no truth in the report.
Parties on the Yolo side still talk of
mysterious ritle-shots at night and at
tempts to cut the levee over there by res
idenUs of that side. If half the pOweer
were burned that is alleged to have been,
1t Is strange that nobody has been shot,
yet somebody is likely to do damage in
that direction if the bullers continue to
fly aimlessly about there every night.
City Engineer Boyd states that on
Thursday he went down the river as far
as Waxon's Mound Ranch, about eight
and half miles below the city. He
found the levee generally intact and
solid. In numerous places, where gopher
holes had been discovered, on opening
the levee it was shown to be thoroughly
hard, almost requiring pick to loosen
the earth in closing up the apertures.
At the WaXon ranch force of men
was engaged in strengthening the leyee
with sand-bags, and this piece Of Ievee
was, IN fact, one Of the strongest on the
line.
1.-The high water of the last few days."
said Mr.. Boyd, ''has not to any appre-
ciable extent weakened the levee in any
particular nor in any place. The erosion
noticed on the levee in some few places
was done almost altogether on the first
day by the high water washing away the
loose material on the surface"
The San Joaquin River and the Mo-
kelumne, which empties into it, are run
ming full just now, and this helps to
check the current in the Sacramento.
At midnight last night the river meas
ured 70 feet III inches.

PROSPEROUS SACRAMENTO.
The County Has Practically No DeIin.
quent Tax List.

The County Has Practically No DeIin-
quent Tax List.
In to-day's RECoRD-UNIoN will be
found the official publication of the de-
linquent tax list of Sacramento County
for the last fiscal year. The list occupies
but little more than half-column of the
paper. This is remarkable showing,
indeed, considering the fact that it has
heretofore rarely occupied less than one
page of a newspaper, and frequently
more than that, while the delinquency
has run from $4,000 upwards.
1t is doubtful ii there is another county
in the State, be it big or little, populous
or otherwise, that can crowd its delin-
Quent tax list for the year into half
column of any newspaper.
And then the sum delinquent is so in
signiticant-only S262 72-this, too, ON a
tax-rou of some forty millionsl OF this
trihing delinquency city property owners
owe Sl62 80, and those Of the county out
side owe the enormous sum of S97 81.
These facts tell more eloquently of the
prosperous condition of the people of
Sacramento County than whole vol
umes ofbrag and bluster. Only two years
ago the delinquent tax list of one county
in this State filled a fifty-page edition Of
g newspaper, or some 800 columns.
The result of the initial trial of the
semi-annual collection plan proves that
Il is the correct one, and-so far as Sacra-
mento is concerned-has been shown to
be cheaper than the old method. But. for
all that, Sheriff Stanley and his efficient
deputies who have had charge of the col
lection OF taxes, are entitled to much
credit for the completeness Of their work.
Practically, there are no delinquent taxes
this year, for the small sum that now APP
pears as delinquent will all be paid
probably, in few weeks and the Dis
trict Attorneys fees for collecting it will
not enrich him, either.

When Nellie Proctor, a pupil in Miss
Louise Conrad's class in the Capital
Grammar School, returned to school yes
terday afternoon, after going home to
lunch, she was crying bitterly and was
so excited that all her teacher could find
out as to the cause was that Japanese
kidnaper" had almost caught her. AS
her nervousness only seemed to increase
upon questioning Miss Conrad sent tor
the child's cousin, Master Garrett of the
first grade, who took her to her home on
Ninth street, between u and V.
The child did not recover from her
fright for several hours, but later in the
day she said she was on her way TO
school, beyond r street, when she met a
Japanese. He spoke to her and reached out
his arms as if to grab her, when she sprang
away and ran into yard for protection.
She found nobody at home, but in the
mean time the Jap hastened away. She
was afraid to turn back toward home and
ran on to the schoolhouse.

OLD LANDMARK GONE.

DESTROYED by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
At midnight last night the last remains
of the old Rabel tannery, near the north
levee and beyond Agricultural Park, was
burned. Mr.. O'Brien, who owns the
property. recently discharged his Chi
nese laborers and employed Japanese,
and he thinks the Cinnamon set it on fire
out of revenge.
The railroad fire train went out and
"doused the glim,' but not until the old
shell was about consumed. "Rabel's
tannery" will live in history, however,
IN connection with the great freshets of

its banks.
