BAILEY'S COPPERs.
A Cotton Editors Experience at Trim
md

A Cotton Editors Experience at Trini-
dad.
Will @. Bailey, of Cotton, is generally
known as the editor OF the Cotton News,
one of the best papers outside of Milipi-
tas in the state. Bailey is very kind,
liberal, everyday sort of country editor,
with chin appendages like unto those of
the versatile Scipio Craig. Scipio was
once country editor but since Redlands
grew up-but that is another story.
Well, Bailey has just returned from o
visit to the "Windy city" show. On
the return trip he was compelled to stop
over day at Trinidad, Colorado.
The Salvation army ia about the only
attraction in Trinidad, 30 the Cotton
editor had to kill time by W atching one
of their parades.
After partaking of hearty and unusual
luncheon, diversified with light decoc-
ton ofspirits frumenti, he proceeded to
view the town from the coign of vantage
of O kindly lamp post sos a.
Presently the army came along. Now
Bailey had been playing cent ''ante"
with fellow passenger on the train to
while away the time. incidentally he
came in the possession OF large number
of coppers.
When the army made the circle and
halted at the poet which Bailey WAS
assistingin pointing toward the heavens,
the lady captain made the customary
rounds with the upturned tambourine.
She thrust the ultra delightful instru-
ment under the nasal appendage of the
country editor in such an emphatic
manner that smacked loudly OF the
financial stringency having struck Trini-
dad harder than any other western ham,
let.
Reaching into the trousers side orifice,
the editor brought forth copper and
carefully placed it in the instrument.
The sudden, want-eome- more look
which the army captain bestowed upon
the Cotton editor only betokened the
dire necessity for more.
Again he tished out a copper. Another
"thank you; May God bless you'', was
spoken in his ear. But the look she gave
him signitied the possibility of having
the two cents increased by others of like
denomination. A third copper was
given to 'spread the good news".
The tambourine still remained. An
other copper went in. The sport soon
became interesting and the entire army
gathered around the charitable Cotton
Gentleman. After each of the members
had "caught on", the entire force were
engaged in saying "God bless you''.

THEY Do NOT WANT THE MONEY
The Citizens, and University
Banks Return County Coin.
They Decline to Keep 1t on the
Special Deposit Plan.
A Complication of Affairs in Conse
quence of the Proceedings Against
the City Bank-Wul the
Other Banlxs Follow Suit?

"Take your - gold and cart it away,
if can't use it,"
The above sensational words were
used by I. d. Stimson, the millionaire
president OF the Citizens bank, about
week ago in connection with the county
money on deposit in his bank.
He had at the time some $2S, 900 OF
the county money in the bank, and sent
it all back to the county treasury.
1t all came about through the lines
that are being drawn closer around the
handling OF county funds since the fail
ure Of the City bank.
The law requiring the county money
deposited in the banks to be treated as
a special deposit has been very publicly
discussed lately, and Mr.. Stimson ar
rived at the conclusion that ii he could
not pay it out in the ordinary run OF
business as any other money he would
rather not handle it at all.
He seized the opportunity in return
ing the money to crystalline his senti-
ment5 in the terse sentence before
quoted.
Bat he is not the only banker who
has arrived ct the conclusion that he
does not wish the escounty funds IN der
the conditions imposed by law.
The University bank, OF which R. M.
Widney is president, three days ago
adopted the same policy, and returned
to the treasury 5000 of county funds
on deposit in that bank.
The bank gave as the reason for re-
turning the money that they are un-
willing to certify that they hold the
county money as a special deposit.
This change in the policy OF two Of the
| well known banking institutions OF the
| city makes a decided revolution in the
way bankers are coming to look at the
| question OF county funds deposits.
1t has been kept very quiet, and it
was only yesterday that the news OF the
action OF the two banks was ascertained.
Just what effect, if any. it will have
on the course of other banks has not
developed. Up to the present time they
are the only ones which have declined
to continue receiving the money as
special deposits.
| After ii was returned to the county
treasury the $4,000 was redistributed
among the other clearing, houae banks
| in the ratio adopted heretofore.
These banks now have about $3.50, 900
OF county money. The amount rarely
goes below that cum, and frequently
goes above $400, 600.
If all the banks which now hold the
money should do as the Citizens and
University banks the county coin would
not any longer be in the vaults of the
| banks where it has the same protection
as that afforded by all banks, but would
be piled up in the county treasury vault.
The situation is quite an interesting
one.
A prominent banker, in speaking about
| the matter yesterday afternoon, said
| thai he believed the county funds ere
much safer in the banks, which neces
| sarily provide the very finest safes and
vaults for the storing of large amounts
OF coin, than ii would be in the treasury
| vault

Councii-Changes Among tho Em-
ployees-An Engineer Re-
signs-Minor Matters.

At the meeting of the fire commits
sioners yesterday all members were
present except Mr.. Brodrick.
The first important business to come
before the board was the reading OF a
communication from the city clerk,
showing that the fixing of the recent
tax levy provides for levy OF 1880
cents on each 800 of taxable property
for the fire department fund. The levy
will produce in round numbers $75, 900
for the fire department. fund.
1t was ordered that the location of
the fire plug at the corner of Workman
and Hoff streets be changed.
The lease between the city and J..
Barringer for the new englne.house was
read. 1t was decided. that it be again
referred to the council, with the recom<
mendation to have inserted provisions
for outsidetepairs OF the house and to
mako proper sewer connection at the
expense OH the owner, and that COM
mittee disappointed to see the council
regarding it.
Messrs. Kurtz and Mclean were ap-
pointed acommittee to see the council
on the matter.
The chief reported that W. r. Price,
tillerman Of the Hook and Ladder COM
pany, was injured in the discharge OF
his duty, and the commission allowed
him $25 to be paid from the relief fund.
He reported that Joe Sepulveda,
driver OF engine No. l, having paid his
fine. would be reinstated on the 10Th
instant; also that the two drivers oil
engine company No. 8 had misunder-
standing, for which they were repri-
manded.

man at the Plaza engine house, is not q
proper person to occupy the said posi-
tion, and that he is interfering with
Arguello's family affairs and bringing
about separation between himself and
wife without any just or reasonable
excuse therefor.
1t was said that some talk had been
heard regarding the trouble, but it was
the opinion of the commission that thew

A TOTAL LOSS.
Tho California Box Factory Destroyed
INV Fire.

Tho California Box Factory Destroyed
A disastrous fire occurred last evening
at 2l9 South Los Angeles street, between
Third and Fourth streets. The build
ings and considerable lumber and stock
OF the California Box company were a
total loss.
The alarm was turned in from box 45
by Officer Mercer, and subsequently an
other alarm was sent in. Engines num-
bers three. four and FIVE, with the hook
and ladder company, were soon at the
scene, but the fire had gained such q
headway that the buildings could not
saved. The department did good work
in saving the lumber yard and the Ger
main nursery buildings adjoining.
| The fire originated in the second
story of the building, which was q
frame structure two stories in height.
1T extended back nearly to the Pano-
rama stables, and was occupied by the
California Box company, Rommel Bros,
carpenters, and 0. III. Harlan, cabinet
maker and carpenter. The box COM
pany was managed by Garret II. Reed.
All attempts to find out the cause OF
the fire were futile. Mr.. Reed could
not be found. as he resides west of the
Rosedale cemetery. Mr.. Harlan had
not been in the shop at all yesterday.
He said Mr.. Reed was unusually care
ful in removing all shavings and rub
bish from the factory, and he had not
the slightest idea as to how the fire
originated. , 5a
The loss probably amounts to $4,000.
There was an insurance OF several hum
dred dollars on the stock of the factory,
while SO far as known the building was
not insured. Mr.. Harlan'e loss will
reach two or three hundred dollars.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CUD-
Any PACKING COMPANY.
Is tho squoalinR OF Hogs a Nuisance?
Meat and MILK Inspector to Be
4ppointed-Physicians who
Fail to Register.

Several matters Of public import were
considered by the city board OF health
at it's meeting in the city hall yester-
day. The most important thing consid-
cred was the complaint of Mr.. Stern
against the Cudahy Packing company's
establishment near the river.
Health Officer Powers reported that
offal, refuse and other contaminating
matter is being dumped into the river
by the various establishments located
near the river. This led the mayor to
ask what right they had for doing 30.
The location OF the pac king company
had been opposed by at least one mem
OF the board on sanitary grounds.
DR.. Kuhrtz loosely remarked that the
matter OF the hogs squealing was a
question for the police commissioners
to dispose of.
''For goodness sake, don't bring any
thing more before the police commits
sion," remarked the mayor, as much as
if to cay the anti-dive crusade the COM
mission has in hand is about oil it can
attend to ct present.
Mr.. Stern again took up his argu-
ment in behalf OF the residents in the
vicinity of the alleged nuisance by say
ing that he was sure it could be declared
nuisance il the board would take the
initiative in the matter. He said he
would fight the packing company on
legal grounds and pay for it himself.
it was finally moved that the health
officer present specific report on the
matter at the next meeting OF the
board.
The appointment OF meat and milk
inspector came up before the board, and
DIR. Gillingham moved that an ordin-
ance for auch Office be drafted for pres
entation to the council providing for the
appointment OF such an officer; also
that Charles Hayden be recommended
to the council for the position.

Scorched Goods.

What to do with scOrched places
on cloth is a question that some
times puzzles the careful house
wife. If the scorch is not too bad,
dipping the article in sOap-suds
and hanging it in the sun for some
hours will be likely to remove it.
If the day is dull, hang the piece
before CRATE fire.
ScOrched spots that are very bad
and yet have not consumed the
fiber of the goods, are said to be
restorable by repeated clippings in
a saturated solution of bOraX. The
saturated solution, as the chemists
call it, consists of as much salt, or
crystal, as the water will dissolve.
1t is always safe to put in a little
extra; if the bOraX stands undis-
turbed in the bottom of the bottle,
one is sure Of the fulI-Strcngth
solution. Repeated clippings Of
this, with exposure to sun or fire
light, will remove what are by
most hOusekeepers considered
hopeless diSCOIOratiOnS.
