drain tbs not Away easy to determine
what treatment will be best to give.
The vegetation which grows upon
the land is very good index Of dry
ness OF the soil. The land drainer
should be well acquainted with the
weeds and grasses which flourish in
wet soils. 1t makes no difference
whether the land is cultivated or ie
in meadow and pasture; the necessity
of drainage will crop out in the char
acter of the vegetable growth which
practice and observation only, will

Agriculture.
Culture Of Onions.
The cultivation Of onions requires
considerable care and some expert
ence to get the best results. But as
the wedding of the ground is the
most of the work the cleaner the
land is the less trouble there will be
with the crop. The soil must be
very fine, and should be rich. It is
marked out in rows one foot apart,
and the seed is sown so as to use
four pounds to the acre. 1t is neces-
sarY to give enough room to hoe be-
tween the bulbs, and the seed is usual
" dropped foot apart in rows. Small
machines are often used for this pur-
pose. The seed is covered lightly,
and the ground between the rows is
kept raked by steel rakes to prevent
weeds from growing. If this work
is we'll done the yield may be from
400 to 600 bushels an acre. One
hundred and fifty barrels per acre is
q moderately good crop.-Coleman's

SPECIAL OFFICER WETZEL DEAD.
His Murderer, George Clark, Not Yet
Found.
The Rumor That He Was at Redding
Not Nerified-The Off
GERS at Sea.

Special Officer Charles Wetzel, who
was shot on Sunday night by ex-convict
George Clark, died of his wound yester-
day morning, at the Ridge Home Hos
pital, the victim of one OF the most wan
ton murders ever committed in this COM
munity.
The murderer, who succeeded in maxi
ing his escape from the city, was yester-
day reported from Redding, Shasta
County, as being in that place.
The news of Clark's alleged presence in
Redding was brought here by Fireman
Hurley of the Portland express train.
The story was that Clark was armed.
and that he declared he would not be
taken alive.
There was a rumor afioat here last
evening that Officer Warner had been
shot by the desperate in Redding, while
attempting his arrest, and that the citi-
Zens had captured the murderer and
lynched him.
denhlte source. Warner was in Marys-
VILE at l O'clock. and could not have
reached Redding between that and
O'clock.
1t was subsequently learned that the
man whom Hurley saw was at Iehama,
ana was not dressed as Clark was when
he left here. When Hurley was shown
Clark's photograph he said he did not
think 1t could have been him he saw up
the road.
Captain Simmons returned from Wood
land last evening without having at
talned any clew to Clark'g whereabouts
Special Officer Warmers visit to Marys-
VILE was for the purpose of ascertaining
II Clark had not gone to relatives
house near there, but it appeared the
relative has not been living there for
some time.
1t still seems likely that the man whom
the bridgemen say they saw jump on the
3:l5 train leaving here on Monday morn
ing was the escaping murderer, although
some of the officers incline 10 the belief
that he kept on through the railroad
shops and got into the bushes beyond the
north leVee, and that he sneaked away
from the city under cover Of the dark
ness.

night at the new and handsome building

Shortly before o'clock George O.
Bates called the assem- blage to order, and
after few remarks introduced p. S. Law
son as the Chairman of the evening. Mr.,
Lawson made a speech, in which he told
the fire laddies and the guests all about
the old Volunteer Department, and said
that while the old timers were just as en-
thusiastic, brave and willing, they were
not in 1t with the fireman OF to-day, who
have brought fire lighting up to science.
Jud {. Brusie was next introduced, and
he made ringing speech, which was ire-
quenIly interrupted Dy applause.
Mr.. Brusie said that Of all the advan-
tages possessed by Sacramento, none
were so prominent as the Fire Depart
ment. Its efficiency was the object OF
many a handsome compliment. OF all
the scandals, political and otherwise, that
had beset the city, none had ever impli-
Gated the Fire Department. 1t had main
tanned its dignity and usefulness by the
pursuit Of course altogether commend
able and worthy Of the highest apprecia-
ton. Mr.. Brusie then delved into ancient
history, and told how fire departments
came into existence.

sion," said he. ut very properly follows
