CLEAR WATER WELLS INSPECTED
The Water Committee of the City
Trustees Visit Them.
Unfavorable Weather Delayed Ar
rangements and Prevented
satisfactory Test.

The Water Committee of the City Board
of Trustees, consisting of Trustees Davis,
Bragg and Kent. accompanied by Trus-
tee Devine, RECoRD-U UNION reporter
and several others, went out to inspect
the wells on the Strong & Williamson
tract, where it is proposed to erect the
pumping plant with which to supply the
city.
The day was not a favorable one, as
Jupiter Pluvius had taken the weather in
hand and filled the air with raindrops. 1t
had been expected by j. r. Edison, who
represents the contractors, to start the
pump early in the morning and do half
days pumping before the visitors arrived.
The rain of yesterday and the day before,
however, defeated such calculations. The
thrashing engine which was to do
the pumping got mired down before it
reached the well and it took twelve hours
OF digging and lifting to get it out of the
slough OF despOnd. In consequence the
pump had only been started about fifteen
minutes when the visitors arrived, and
as the recent rains have caVed the dirt IN
around the wells, it looked as if branch
of the Sacramento River had got lost and
cropped out on the plains.
a stream of muddy water was pouring
out OF the lume and one of the Trustees
remarked, Il don't see much difference
between this and the river water"
In the course of half hour, however,
it had almost cleared itself and samples
were caught in bottles by the committee
and brought back to be sent down for
analysis. OF course this can hardly be
considered fair test, as there must have
been, III addition to the sand and earth in
the water, more or less organic matter
washed into the wells by the rains.
1t is proposed to test the water and see
if it is sufficiently pure to use for domes-
tic and other purposes. Ii so used, how
ever, it would be pumped every day IN
the year y fair test would, therefore,
have been to pump on it for day or two
and then to take samples and see if the
continued pumping had developed any
alkaline or other injurious qualities.
This was not done, however, Mr.. Edison
simply saying that If the Trustees wished
to come out to-day he would keep the
pumps running and clear the water in
the wells. He did not, however, request
them TO do so, and his Indifference in the
matter suggested the thought that the
opinion which has been gaining ground
that the contractors realize that the city
has much the best of the propo-
Sltlon, and that they are perfectly willing
to abandon it, finding 1t to be disadvan-
tageous to them. has some foundation to
it.
To abandon the project at this late day
would be not only to put Oft for years all
hope of getting clear water for the city,
but would also deprive Sacramento of ali
the credit she gained. throughout the
State by voting for the proposition. 1t is
to be hoped. therefore, that the pumps
will be run for one or two days and a
sample then taken for analysis.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Congregational Church on We'd
nesday evening next, the 18th inst, Miss
Anna X. Selkirk will give a concert and
entertainment. Miss Selkirk is Califor-
MIA girl of fine musical ability. The
RECORD UNION warmly commended her
as cOntralto vocalist when she sang
here with the Gfee Club of the University
OF California, though then she was the
victim OF sudden indisposition, and did
not do herself tull justice. She will be
assisted on this occasion by Miss jose
phlne Shaw Of San Francisco, an elocu-
ZIONIST OF such rare endowments and
high dramatic talent that she is by all
critics termed genius. She first at
tracted attention in exercises of the San
Francisco High School. and soon became
widely known as wonderfully gifted.
she viii recite i'll Sacramento, among
other selections, Mr.. Phelps admired

Clement OF Alameda, of the University
Glee Club, VloliniSJ of rapidly rising
musical character, will be of the support.
NJ. Clement has played here twice in
concert with great success. The tenor OF
the support is Gilbert Graham of the
University Of California, who has a very
line and admirably trained voice, and
has twice sung here, winning many
friends. Theo. Martens of this city, the
accomplished musician, will be the pian-
lst OF the evening. The programme will
include violin solo sixth Air Varie"

ANOTHER POSSIBLE KNOCKOUT
Daniel shine Claimed to be Ineligible
for n Policeman

for a Policeman.
1t is not unlikely that Daniel Shine.
one of the newly appointed policemen,
will lose the opportunity to wear star
on his breast designating him as one of
the city's peace officers, but on legal
grounds only.
The charter requires that no person
shall be eligible to place on the police
force who had not, at the time Of his ap-
pointnent, been a citizen and elector of
the city Tor at least one year next preceG-
ing such appointment
The records show that Shine was natur-
allied on the 23d of February last and
registered the following June. Ii there
be no mistake about this, he is clearly in
eligible TO the place. He is said, how
ever. by those who know him, to be
otherwise very acceptable person

Several Valuable Dogs Poisoned-An
Indignant Disclaimer
The dog-poisoners have began their
work again, and number of valuable
animals have been poisoned in the neigh
borhood of Capitol Park this week.
The Capitol Commissioners have had
painted signs forbidding the introduction
of dogs into the park, as they run over
and destroy the young plants in the beds.
For this reason, perhaps, rumor has
been started that the park employees have
done the poisoning. This is Indignantly
denied by them, as they say that not only
they have no disposition to degrade them
