THE STORM
Rain and Hail IN the Valley, and
Snow in the Mountains.

Rain and Hail IN the Valley, and
Snow in the Mountains.
Yesterdays thunderstorm covered a
very considerable portion of the northern
half of the State, and on the whole will
doubtless result in considerable benefit,
although early cherries and ripening
Strawberries will suffer. Most of the
cherries are, however, a couple of weeks
later than usual, and will escape injury
The rain, WILL however, greatly benefit
the grain crops in many localities.
A About the Summit and Truckee rain
hail and snow fell yesterday, about half a
foot of new snow falling at the Summit,
where there is now between five and SIX
feet of the beautiful.
The Weather Bureau reports in this city
show the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 6l0 and 460, with
fresh to brisk variable winds and partly
cloudy weather prevailing.
The rainfall for the storm was % of an
inch, making 23.95 inches for the season.
as against 1918 inches to a corresponding
date last year.
The barometrical readings at 5 A. NJ
and P. NJ. were 30.04 and so inches, re-
spectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were SO and 560,
and one year ago to-day $40 and 59o.
There was during the rain yesterday
afternoon a shower of hail, lasting for a
minute, after which there was one single
and lonsome peel of thunder, without any
lightning being visible.

The Oakland Press Pledged Against
a Verbal Abomination.

The Oakland Press Pledged Against
Verbal Abomination.
The Oakland Times editorially says:
''The RECoRD-UNIoN of Sacramento in
Weighs with characteristic vigor against
the use of that verbal abomination,
'electrocuted.' +" The Times then quotes
the RECoRD-UNIoN's remarks in full,
and says: 1.-THE RECoRD-UNIoN is right
in every particular of its Indictment, and
yet it may be urged that the use of good
slang is not detrimental to the language
in the sense that it is a corruption of the
tongue we speak, We do not advocate
the use OF vulgar ldiOms or meaningless
phrases, but when the word or expression
tits the subject-when it describes tersely
ana unerrlngly condition, a manner, a
habit, custom or folly, we believe that its
use is justitiable, and as long as the OBJ
Ject exists the expression should be con-
tinued. Slang, so called, is the result of
limited vocabulary, but it is also an in
dlcatlon of invention, necessitated, it is
true, by that limitation, bur based upon
the faculty OF observation, and, in most
cases, II is pregnant of comparison, meta
phor and humorous sense. Slang is
graphic, and unless it contains very de-
clded element of logic and reason it will,
Ike many OF the more respectable words
and derivations OF the dictionaries, be-
come obsolete and lapse into a condition
Of innocuous desuetude.' The word
'electrocute' is so utterly bad that every
person who writes it is ashamed of his
indecent assault upon the language. 1t
Is well, however, that the newspaper men
who have thus much offended should be
informed OF the iguoble source Of the
hybrid"
The Times then quotes from us the
statement of fact that the word was in
vented by brutal convict in Sing Sing
whose vocabulary was unequal to proper
expression. The Times adds, referring
to our protest against the use of the
term: I'VE think we can answer for the
newspaper men of Oakland they will
not do it again"

Give the Country a chance.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The interests of
Sacramento city and county are almost
identical. If one prospers, the other
must Should the population of the city
increase, or be doubled, the value of
lands adjacent thereto must also increase
and be doubled. l can see no reason why
the people outside of the city should not
be permitted to subscribe their portion to
the undertaking of helping along not
only the city but the county.
Ii, as was stated in yesterday morn
ing's paper, there are some selfish men in
the city who will not do their share
toward helping not only themselves but
others, there may be in the country men
who will willingly take their places. The
way | understand it is that all that is
needed is money; it doesn't make any
difference who subscribes, so long as it is
subscribed.
Why would it not be a good idea for
the gentlemen In charge OF the Indus
trial Improvement Association to organ
lZe meetings throughout the county, and
get subscriptions from all those who are
willing to be assessed? FLoRINITE.

BEHIND THE AGE
a Fresno Man Who is Not Up with
the Times

A Fresno Man Who is Not Up With
the Times.
recent telegram from Fresno states
that fraud is being carried on against
that county in the matter of collecting
bounties on manufactured rabbit ears.
The bounty is u cents per pair, and the
ears are made from rabbit skins. Ten
thousand ears can be manufactured from
1000 rabbits. The collusion of the officer
who counts them is necessary to the sue
cess of the trick. AS fast as counted the
ears are burned, thus rendering detection
diihcult.
The matter was discovered by an officer
who was approached by a man with ten
sacks OF what he claimed to be ears. The
officer refused to count to suit the man,
and from the latter's action it was sur
missed that all was not right.
Sacramento County has a man who can
s'see" this enterprising tresnoite and go
him several scalps better. At a recent
session OF the Board of Supervisors a
batch OF alleged coyote scalps were sent
in. accompanied by claim for certiti-
cate on the state Board OF Examiners for
the State bounty. On examination of the
sraIDs il was found that several OF them
had been taken from jack rabbits.
That Fresno man ought TO 90 and bag
his head.

CHINESE MURDER CASE.

Faces of Those Concerned in the
Rogues' Gallery at San Francisco.
The murder trial of Chin Hane and
Hoey Yen Sing still drags along in Judge
Catlin's court. and no one as yet is bold
enough to guess at the possible mum ber
of witnesses the defense has yet in re-
serve.
Yesterday Chris Cox, detective from
San Francisco, testified for the defense.
In the course of his testimony he stated
that the pictures of some of the parties
concerned III the case on both sizes can
be found in San Francisco in the rogues'
gallery.
One of the Chinese witnesses, when
asked by General Hart If he could talk
English, said he could not talk English
velly good, but could cookee English heap
good"
1t is pretty certain now that the law
yers will not get TO the argument in the
case till next week.

Him for Hornlein.
Last winter, while the Legislature was
in session, Jack Ford, by representations
to the Hornlein brothers that he was an
attache of the Legislature, managed to
borrow of them the sum of 500.
Judge Buckley issued warrant for his
arrest, and it was given to the San Fran
cisco Sheriff for service on HIM, the
charge being obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Sheriff O'Neil yesterday received the
warrant, which was returned unserved,

POLICE DETAILS

Officer Dole for Special Duty-Burke to

Chief of Police Rodgers has very wisely
detailed Officer Dole to remain on duty at
the police station each night up to mid
night. to answer calls that may be made
for an officer.
Officer George Naghel, whose long
and close confinement as Night Jailer has
somewhat impaired his health, has been

Also that the entire amount of hay pro-

was entitled to one-half, and that the de-

The Tower Management

1t is just possible there will be a
change in the management of the
Tower. Mr.. Montrose has been
anxious to surrender the charge for
some time, in fact did not desire to
resume it this year, as it takes so
much time from his hotel business
that he cannot attend to it without
pecuniary sacrifice. but he was pre-
vailed upon by President Louderback
to continue. He did so with the
understanding that he was to be re-
lieved as soon as possible, and Mr..
Louderback has since been endeavor-
| ing to find someone who would salts
factorily fill his place. Negotiations
are now pending with Charles T.
kindt, manager OF the Burtis opera
house at Davenport, and are likely to
result in an arrangement being made,
If so, Mr.. Kindt promises something
new in the way of attractions in
summer opera.
Mr.. Montrose's management of the
Tower ha. proven eminently satisfac-
tory to the company and to the gen
eral public. He has devoted himself
faithfully and industriously to ii and
has striven to make the resort popu-
lar. Should Mr.. Kindt succeed him
he will prove an excellent selection on
the part of the company, as he knows
how to please the public. and has
many warm friends in the three
cities.

ether articles OF clothing and is in

remaining drunk for three or four
days. He further claims that she at
tempted to shoot him two years ago
and tried TO cut him with a butcher
knife. She has often thrown sticks
of wood at him, and has frequently
said that she would shoot him. He
is ARA d to live with her any longer.

fendan5 be restored to her maiden
