FILTERED HOGWASH
The City Now Getting 1.-THE Filter il
Made Of Manure

The City Now Getting 1.-THE Filter is
Made OF Manure.
There is hog ranch in the old bed of
the American River. a short distance
above the city. where porkers are fed
with all kinds of filth. A so-called dam
of manure surrounds the water-hole in
which they wallow, and it is said there is
a constant sipage therefrom into the
river.
The Board of Health has been notified
of the existence of the Objectionable hog
ranch, but the Health officer is not GER
tain that he has any jurisdiction beyond
the city limits. Under the circumstances
IL might be well for the local members of
the Board OF Supervisors to look into the
matter.
In the meantime won't the City Trus-
tees make haste and get that big filter
into operation? The hog-wash wouldn't
be any worse, perhaps, after it got
through than it is after percolating
through manure bank, and while the
extract of few pigs that might die of
hog cholera would not be changed in
character, the fact that the city water
was beingi filtered might be used in an
swering the arguments of persons who
crlticise our drinking water.
OF course any intelligent person would
laugh at anyone who insisted that filter
ing purifies tainted water, but now and
then an ignoramus might be encountered
who knew no better, and then good im-
preston might be made-on the igno-

Under Charles Frohman's direction,

will appear at the Metropolitan Theater
Saturday night next in Henry Guy
Carleton's refined comedy, THE Butter

Metropolitan Wednesday morning.
While 1.-The Butterflies Is in comedy
vein, mingled with its clever humor is
much wholesome sentiment. Mr.. Drew
and Miss Maud Adams, who has de-
veloped as one of the cleverest and most
versatile of American actresses, have
some charming love scenes in the play.
We are assured that the play will be
given in exactly the same manner as it

1.-The Butterflies" Ii is not only Mr..
Carleton's best work in that line, but it
is of its kind. the best comedy OF late
years. 1t is light, bright, original and
witty, with just touch of seriousness,
which gives body to il. There is a sun
shine and gayety in it which is exhilar-
aUing, and there is, even i'll the charater-
lzation of the uneducated millionaire and
the drunken son, a certain delicacy of
handling which is very clever and in the
best taste. There is little story. 1t is
series of phases more than of characters,
and the dialogue is always far more than
the situation. 1t is full of bright lines
and humorous, cleverly written speeches.
In fact, there was never a moment of
falling interest last night, and the enjoy
ment of the audience was keen and
pleasant to Witness" And that paper
adds: "Mr. Drew is very clearly the
leading actor OF the society comedy to-
day. His methods are facile, his repose

he POLISHED UP THE CHERUBIMO.
But the Board of Supervisors Would
Not Pay the Bill.
j. T. Mccain Then Sued the County,
but Justice Henry Threw the
Case Out.

Some months ago J. I. McCann sent in
a demand to the Board of Supervisors
for SZ76 for thing the entrance to the
Courthouse, and cleaning the fountain in
Courthouse yard. The board cut the bill
down TO 500. believing the demand to be
exhorbitant, and that some of the work
which McCann claims he performed was
unauthorized.
McCann brought suit for the S276 in
Justice Henry's court, and the case was
tried yesterday. He testified that, from
remarks addressed to him by Supervi-
sors Jenkins and Todd. he understood
which he put in his claim.
Supervisor Jenkins Chairman of the
Committee on Buildings and Repairs,
testified that McCaun called his attention
to the condition of number of the tiles
at the entrance to the Courthouse, and he
told McCann to replace the broken ones
with new ones. He afterward saw Nc
Cam taking up those that needed no re-
pairs and told him to desist.
Jenkins said he also told McCann to
make few minor repairs to the fountain.
He denied that he had instructed Nc
Cam to make extensive repairs around
the Courthouse and for which the latter
sent i'll the demand OF S276.
1t transpired during the trial that Nc
Cam gave Charles Hesen power of
attorney to collect the $50 that was al
lowed by the Supervisors, and that Hell
sen got the money and receipted for it.
| The warrant on the county treasury read
that $50 was full payment for work per-
| formed, and the plaintiff claims he did
not observe that fact until j. Charles
Jones, Deputy District Attorney, asked
the court to throw the case out on mo-
ton for a nonsuit.
Mr.. Jones based his motion on the
| ground that McCann did not pursue the
proper course to secure the payment of
his demand of S276 and that it should
! have been presented to the Board of Su-
| pervisors again; also that. owing to Hell
sen receipting for the 800 in full payment
| for work done on the Courthouse, Nc
| Cam had nothing to sue for.
Justice Henry granted the motion for a
noDsuit and awarded the county judg-
ment for the cost of the suit.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
A Deficiency In Heat, Likewise
Prices of Fruit

A Deficiency In Heat, Likewise In
Prices of Fruit.
Director Barwick of the California
Weather Service, in his crop report for
the week ending August 18th, summar-
ICES as follows:
The average weekly tenn perature was:
For San Francisco 5S0, Eureka $40, Red
Bluff 7S0, Sacramento 720, Fresno 760, Los
Angeles 660 and san Diego so.
As compared with the normal tempera-
lures, the whole State, both coast and in
terror, show heat deficiencies, which are
as follows for the Weather Bureau sta
tions named: San Francisco and Eureka
p, Red Bluff 81, Sacramento Sc, Fresno
6o, Los Angeles y. and San Diego 90.
This deficiency has been very beneficial
to all growing summer crops, although
retarding the rapid ripening OF the raisin
grape.
Grain is about all harvested and nearly
all threshed, and the greater portion of
the crop has been stored in anticipation
of better prices in the near future.
The fruit crop is an immense one, but
! prices are ruling low. Along the Sacra-
mento River quite number of orchard
| lists have quit picking for shipment, fear
| ing glut IN the Eastern market.
| Hops will be good crop.
Beans are being pulled or harvested.
and the crop Will be a light one.
The beet sugar harvest has begun at
Chino, and the saccharine percentage is
good.
There were general showers over North
ern and Central California, amounting
to very little more than sprinkle, on
| Thursday. the 9Th, accompanied by thun-
der and lightning at Eureka, Humboldt
| County; Willows, Glenn County, and Le-
moore, Kings County. The lightning
struck several objects at Eureka and

The highest and lowest temperatures
were l10' at Huron, Fresno County, and

Kent moved that the Surveyor be in

culverts over the Y-street canal.
Pennish thought there was a fence to
be paid for out Of the 81 300 available in

enth street is also in a dangerous condi-
ton and needs fixing immediately.
Devine referred to the act renortaa
by him that the Supervisors had agreed
to pay two-fifths of the expense of the
culverts, and he thought the work should
be done as soon as possible. The cross
ing at Thirty-first and Y streets is also
dangerous.
