AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
Selling Diseased Meat-Demand for In
stant Investigation.

Selling Diseased Meat-Demand for In
stant Investigation.
It was few days ago charged that dis
eased pork has been sold to Chinese
butchers in this city.
Yesterday one of the oldest and best
known physicians of the city, gentle
man who is especially qualified to know
the danger involved, stated to RECORD
UNION representative that be yesterday
received knowledge through a commune
cation to him from 8 country patient he
was treating, that seven or eight miles
down the river on the Sacramento side a
virulent disease has attacked the hog
herds, and that the animals are dying
daily in large numbers.
That certain owners OF herds, and not q
few such, are killing the animals as soon
as attacked by the disease and dressing
them and selling the meat to Chinese
butchers in this city.
The physician referred to says that he
has perfect reason to believe the state
ment to be true, as names are given to
him and good evidence Of the facts stated.
He declares that it is the instant duty of
the Supervisors to send veterinary sur
geon down the river TO the Freeport sec
ton to inspect hog herds and report the
facts: that the city authorities ought at
once to order rigid inspection of pork in
the Chinese markets.
1t is a belief entertained by some who
have reasonable warrant for it, that cer-
tain attacks of sick ness which have oc-
Cured in some quarters of the city may
be traced to the use Of this diseased
meat.
The statements now made of the sale of
diseased pork to and by the Chinese are
so positive and circumstantial as to leave
no doubt concerning their truth. and con-
firm the rumors of a few days ago.
The authorities ought to act in the
premises at once, and those who are
guilty of selling the meat of diseased ami
mails should be prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law.

A WATER FAMINE AVBRTBD.

Water Works Supplied With Coal by
the Railroad Company.
One of the most serious results of the
railroad strike in this city developed yes
terday, when the officials of the City
Water Works applied to Division Super
intendent Wright of the Southern Pacific
Company to know if he could supply the
city with coal to run the pumps that pro-
vide the city with water.
1t seems that the lone Coal and Iron
Company, which has the contract for sup
plying the city with fuel for the water
works, delivers the coal by carloads. the
coal being brought here by train from
lone as it is needed. The tie-up of all
trains, both freight and passenger, has
caught the city without supply on hand.
hence the application to the railroad COM
pany.
Superintendent Wright informed the
engineer at the water works that he
might send carts to the company's coal
bins, and get all the coal required as long
as the supply holds out.
The record-union., 1894-06-30

THE action of the Trustees in throwing
up the contract for pure, clear water from
the driven wells east of the city, in utter
defiance of the Will of the people as ex-
pressed at the polls by almost two
thirds majority, is simply infamous. All
honor is due to Trustee Bragg. who had
the manhood to vote in accordance with
the expressed will of the people. He
recognized the fact that he was member
of the Board of Trustees to represent the
people of the city and not to carry out
his own ideas. It can be said in favor of
Trustee Devine that he has at least been
consistent. He has been fanatical op-
ponent of the clearwater proposition
since its first inception, and the people of
his district elected him with that knowl-
edge. But what can be said of the other
members? The same people who elected
them had voted by nearly a two-thirds
majority in favor of the pure water,
and they have proven false to their trust
and deliberately ignored the wishes of
the people. The reasons given by them
are the most silly and purile ever put
forth by men who claim any intelligence,
the prepared statement of Trustee Law
ton being the most disgusting specimen
of pettifogging ever given out to insult
the intelligence of a community.

The Work of Reclamation Is Still
Going On.
The Rio Vista NeaOS contains the follow
ing items of news:
Superintendent Jesse II. Thomas's per-
sistent work in the reclamation of Ryer
Island is at last availing him valuable
return. The island to-day is in better con-
dition than ever before known, and is
thoroughly dry, with q good prospect OF
remaining 80, as there is no perceptible
seepage.
The pump has been stopped, but the
dredger is kept constantly at work rails
ing the leyees, which are already and 10
feet high, with base OF l40 feet.
Much work is now being done on the
island, and next season if we have no
flood the entire acreage will be in crop.
The Atlas dredger of District No. $50,
was towed to Dead Horse Island, back OF
Walnut Grove. on Tuesday morning.
The dredger will work there some two
months. The island is very prolific and
is the property of K. l. Uphsm of Col
linsville, and he proposes to have it
water proof in future.

In mood Of reVerie strolled

Scenes OF the past day,
When the "Whipple" blew her whistle
And her calliope would play.
Yet as prelude, sweet alway,
Are days passed all too soon;
For as eoleau zyphers play
On strings of harp, SO heart to-day
Is touched again with olden lay,
When youth and nature all atune
And love was warm as rose in June
Far on Kentueky's verdant shore
Loves trysting hours are strewn,
Where we waited, watched and listened
For the steamboat "Silver Moon.n
With her fires she seemed aglow;
And her jtngling bells so near,
Putting, blowing, creaking so
At the landing down below,
And her steaming calliope blew,
Oft in moonlight soft and clear,
On the waters we would hear
But youths brightest hours and Silver
Moon,
With the days, are passed away,
When the "Whipple" blew her whistle
And her calliope would play.

perusal.

THE Trustees have made mistake in
allowing the use of three feet of the side
walks for goods display. If all dealers
are required to keep within property
lines then all will fare alike, and no one
will have any special advantage. But
under the new rule the small dealers can
put most of their small stock on the side
walks in showcases, while heavier dealers
cannot or will not make similar displays.
But over and above all is the Stiffness of
clearing away protruding windows and
taking down awning-posts, and then
turning the sidewalks into cheap bazars.
This display-of-goods-i will make our
streets look like Cairo street at the Mid
winter Fair, and if anything, could be
worse than that-well! The truth is, this
three-foot display ordinance is step
backward. 1t is concession to demand
that is old, threadbare and exceedingly
rural, even to greenness. 1t is not pro-
gressive, cleanly nor comely. 1t will
