The New Awakening.

EDS. RECORD u MON: Our citizens have
at last awakened to the realization that we
have many possibilities here and that all
that is needed is to develop them. This
has been practically illustrated in the
past week, as has been shown by the
Willingness Of our people in voluntarily
taxing themselves 10 raise money to
bring manufacturing interests here.
Now let the good work go on; let every
one, he he rich or poor, respond TO this call y.
ana without delay, for every dollar Judi
clousIy spent for this purpose Will bring
back many in return. The first new
factory started here will be the means of
bringing another, and so on until this city
Will be dotted with smokestacks.
This Is what we have been lacking in
past years; this is what builds up CITY.
Let us be noted as a manufacturing cell
ter and immigration will pour in faster
Than we can build houses Tor them. New
railroads Will follow; our realty will in
crease i'll value and our tax rate will de-
crease in proportion. Az this is not in
the future, but ii is here now-tha5 is, il
we keep on with the good work and all
stand together.
Never was there a time when tho fond
est hopes Of those who have pinned their
faith 10 This city's future, through good
ana III report OF the past, ever felt us they
do to-day; for, while the most of us
would Geplore a boom-as generally
knoWn-stlI we are about to have one
that will be n lasting one.
And now that we are on the high road
to prosperity, let US not forget that there
are lew details that must be attended to
III order to make our streets presenta Die
to the thousands OF strangers that Will
visit us, and that is to pave and X
streets from Front to Tenth or Twelfth
streets. There is not a moment to lose.

ANOTHER RELAY RACE.
The Oak Leaf and Capital City Wheel
men to Try 1t Again.

Another relay race between members
of the Oak Leaf Wheelmen of Stockton
and the Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra-
mento will take place May 9TH on the
road between Sacramento and Stockton.
The Oak Leaf Wheelmen claimed as
the reason OF their defeat last year that
the wind favored the Sacramento wheel
men, and this time they want the race to
be 100 miles, thus making the round trip
from one city TO the other and return.
Each team will have seven men sta
toned along the route at intervals, so
That when the start is made every one
VIII be in his place and ready to receive
the message, which he will in turn carry
10 the next man.
In this way the message will be carried
to Stockton by the Sacramento cyclists.
Upon its arriving there it will immedi-
ateIy be taken by Capital City man and
started on its hoWeward trip.
Zach man, after having ridden his first
relay, will have time TO rest and be
waiting for the return trip, when he will
take the message and deliver to the next
man.
by these means the message will be
carried 100 miles, and as the representa-
tlves of the clubs will start at the same
time from their respective cities, the team
NAMING INC AouIu LIlp HrSL Will WIN the
race. For trophy each club will put up
so, to go toward the cost OF banner
Next Sunday the relay stations will be
land out, and on the sd the Capital City
Nheelnen will nave a try-out at Agri-
cultural Park to see who will represent
Sacramento in the race. The following
men are training hard in hopes OF being
able to ride against Stockton: Croker
Hamlin, Hubert, Wells, Vanderbilt, Kip
ley, Ennis, Epson, Readman, Baker
MOrrell, Elliott and Heilborn.
The Oak Leaf Wheelmen have not
selected their men as yet, but will have Il
try-out very soon, and as they have
plenty of new material they may regain
what they lost last season.
Captain Hubert seems confident of win
ming for Sacramento, as all of his team
are experienced racing men and do not
know what it is to give up.

STREET SPRINKLING.
Bids Therefor to be opened on Thurs
day Next.

DiOS iHSEeIOr 10 DC opened on 1nurS-
day Next.
The City Trustees yesterday afternoon
took up the matter of street springling.
and the Mayor asked what the others
proposed to do.
Trustee Green inquired of T. A. Lauder
how many new wagons of the Stude-
baker pattern could be furnished, and the
latter replied that he could furnish three
right away; if more were required it
would take some time.
The Mayor asked if there were not
enough wagons in the city to do the
work, ANA person present who was in
tereSted III getting contracts replied that
there were plenty of them.
Auotherof the would-De contractors de-
nounced the patent wagons as being ex-
penslVe and inferior to the box kind in use
here. Then he went on to say that The new
style of wagons would do better.work on
the business streets than the other. and
advised the Trustees to get wagons of
that kind for !, j. X and l. streets. He
did not attempt to reconcile these con-
hicting statements.
Specifications wore then read and
adopted for sprinkling all the streets.
The specifications provided that all
sprinklng should done before A, NJ.
but Mayor Sleinman said he wanted
them changed so that the work should be
done from Z \. VI. till noon, and from l to
z. NJ.
After some discussion it was decided TO
advertise for bids to do the sprinkling for
the ensuing six months, the same to be
submitted to the Trustees on Thursday
next,

No Money in the Treasury for Special

No Money in the Treasury for Special
Advertising.
y. X. McQuaid, agent for the San Fran
cisco E.ram1eer, presented a request to
the City Trustees yesterday for an appro-
priation of 81 900 for page to be given to
Sacramento i'll the Worlds Fair edition
OF that paper.
Mayor Steinman said, when the matter
was first presented to the board, that
there was lack of money, and he did
not find that any increase had been made
since.
Mr.. McQuaid said that at present it was
not a question Of money. The money
was not needed just now, and they had
the whole of the fiscal year in which to
attend to that part of the proposition.
The paper wanted to give Sacramento a
page of matter, which would result in
great benefit to the whole county.
Let Sacramento reach out, be said, and
tell people what her advantages were,
and invite them to come and see for
themselves. lie hoped the board would
favor his proposition. He thought if they
would do this the county would pay the
other 81 900, and Sacramento would reap
many thousand dollars benefit.
Trustee Conklin thought it might be
well to confer with the Supervisors on
the subject.
The Mayor said it would be useless.
There was no money to do it with, and
besides, the board could not do it legally
Any taxpayer who chose could enjoin
the board and defeat their action. The
county, he said, is in the same boat. Its
treasury is empty. The city had barely
enough money TO get along with, and he
saw no way in which he could possibly
vote for the proposition. 1t was kinder
to tell Mr. McQuaid so frankly than to
defer it and raise false hopes.
Trustee Green said he should be glad
to favor the project if the board had the
money to do it with, but it was impossi-
BILE.
The board then declined to take any
action in the matter.

Mrs. Ely of Lathrop, mother of En-

fishes scathing letter in a San Francisco
paper, charging him with having failed
to keep his promise Of marrying her
daughter. Mrs. Eby alleges that Jefferis
has lied to her all these years about hav-
ing marriage certificate, and says he has
treated her daughter inhumanly, and that
she has been practically prisoner and a
slave.
Mother-in-law Eby does not spare the
frisky engineer, but in column OF so of
invective lays the lash heavily upon him.
She upbraids him for cruelty torturing
her daughter by referring 10 Olga Ayres
and showing 10 her the latter's letters to
him. She also charges that he has never
properly fed nor clothed her daughter
and her children.

He weighed in the neighborhood of 300

overladen with beverages which he had
encountered and had TO be energetically
assisted to get him Gagged at the City Jail.
When searched at the police station he
yielded enough trinkets TO have stocked
a small store, and the collection embraced
two police whistles, railroad ticket to
Auburn, two purses and a long list of
bottles, buttons and other sundries.
He was too supremacy Indifferent to

he could barely squeeze through the cor
