Whisky Makes Maniac OF a Bright
Young Man.
A young man named McCallum is
under arrest for creating a disturbance at
Seventeenth and L streets last evening.
Officer Higgins and Special Greer went
out there, in response to a telephone call,
and found McCallum raising terrible
tumult in the house where he is a
boarder.
According to the officers statement,
the frenzied youth-who had been visit
ing neighboring saloon too frequently
threw carvingknife at his 1andlady
and terrorized the family.
The officers had hard tussle with him
and were obliged to handcuff him. st
the police station he assaulted officer
McManus, who retaliated and laid him
out with a well-aimed blow.
After he had been locked mp for an
hour the wild-eyed youth said he was
then sober, and denied all knowledge of
having done anything out of the way.
He was especially solicitous that his own
family should not see his name in the
papers. McCallum appears to be young
man who is not given to such conduct.

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
An Eastern Papers View of Pacific
Railroad Building.

Railroad Building.
The following is from the Sandwich
Ode Kalb County, Ill., Argus, which was
represented on the recent editorial eXcur-
sion to California:
And now let us say that this Southern
Pacific Railroad has done great things for
California. Built through the enterprise
of few wealthy men who had the bust
ness sense to see that the State could be
vastly improved by better transportation
facilities. They built the road, making
millions of acres OF barren soil valuable
to the Nation. Through it the capabili-
ties of the soil for flowers, fruits and
cereals have been proven. Gold, silver,
lead, "copper" coal and other native pro-
ducts have been found and brought to
the markets OF the world, making Cali
fornia, in the short space of quarter OF a
century, the best known and wealthlest
commonwealth of the world.
=
One of the strongest impressions forced
on the observant tourist is the peculiar
conditions under which the railroads of
the central portion and the Pacific Slope
were projected and built. In the olden
time the question in railroad building.
was "Is there enough traffic on the line to
support it? ?" but in pushing lines out
into the undeveloped West broader
forecast of the future was needed, with
good Judgment of the possibilities, with
knowledge of and faith in the Nation.
How wonderful has been the result.
What is now known as the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific led in the work.
closely followed by the Southern Pacific
Railroad. the Northern Pacific and the
Santa Fe, the five making four great sys-
TENS across the continent, and continu-
Gus line from the British possessions on
the north to Mexico on the south. Each
spanning arid deserts, climbing high
mountain ranges. and each opening to
human labor and human civilization en-
pires of the most fruitful lands of the
world. The foresight and faith of the
large-brained projectors have been justi-
fed by the results, the Nations wealth
has been quadrupled through their
labors. That portion of our country
which was unknown and discovered only
a generation ago has become the most
fruitful, richest, and is fast marching to
the front to be the most powerful of our
wonderful system of commemorative. 1t
may be true that the men who inaugu-
rated these roads have in some degree re-
ceived their reward, as the results have
verified the soundness of their judgments,
but it is none the less true that the power
to plan and carry to successful compile
ton enterprises of such immense magni-
tude, and the willingness to risk fortunes
and credit in them, entitle them to all the
emoluments they can get from these
magnificent enterprises.

ADJUSTMENTS.

On Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week and for Saturday matinee the
melodrama and spectacle, 1.-THE Police
PATROL" will be played at the Metropol-
itan Theater. In one of the scenes, in
which police patrol station is shown,
and out of which, on alarm, the patrol is
rolled upon its wagon, as are fire
brigades, the same two white horses are
introduced that drew the police TO the
Haymarket Square in Chicago on the
day the anarchists arose in that city and
SO many brave officers were killed and
wounded. 1t requires two cars to carry
the scenery and outfit of the play. The
company is Endorsed by the San Fran
cisco press as one of efficiency, and the
play is by the same papers pronounced
one of the best of it's class. For the
matinee on Saturday children under Il
years of age who present coupon cut
from the RECoRD-UNIoN will be adj
mitted for 10 cents. Without the coupon
the low rate cannot be secured.
On account of the series of temperance
lectures in the Congregational Church

BUCKET AND ALL
A Tamale PeddIer Disappears With

A Tamale Peddler Disappears With
His Eatables.
There is trouble once more in the tamale
colony. Sonora Cecilia Garcia, who runs
corn-husk and Chile Colorado factory,
yesterday lodged complaint against a
youth named Rosenberg, whom she ac-
cuses of having embezzled bucketful of
tamales.
In other words. she stocked the aspir-
ing youth with tamales and sent him
forth to lay the foundation of a fortune
by dlsposing of them on commission.
The Sonora has not seen Rosenberg, the
tamales, the bucket, nor the proceeds of
ms sales. The outfit mot including the
peddler) was valued at about 50, on which
there should have been about 81 80 profit.
POSSIBLY some citizen, who had previously
been aroused from his sleep by these
nocturnal peace disturbers, got up and
killed him.
