For the HERALD.

Mr.. EDITOR -
We cannot refrain from
expressing our approval of your ventilA-
ton, through the columns Of the HERALD,
of "Our Water Supply" Until within
the last two years, there has not been
within our recollection which EXTENDS
back more than thirty years, more
healthy town in the Valley, or in the
world. than this same old town OF which
Porte Crayon said. ut Is like hinged

We know no question OF more vital I'M
portance to a town than its water SUI =
ply.
Pure water is essential to the very ex'
istence OF o people, and If 1t be true, as
we have reason to believe It IS, that tne
council ofO town has had the fact OF
the existence of Impurities In our well,
brought to their attention and have failed
to make any attempt to remove them, ex-
cept by throwing few gallsns OF lime
into one or two wells, they are surely
chargeable with the host sublime in
difference. il not criminal negligence.
From the report published In the paper
of Aug. 3lst, it appears that the water In
the older wells contains most impurities,
that 10 the new wells being comparative
ly pure. thus indicating that the i'm
purities hays been accommodating through
a number Of ysan. Which leads us to
believe thst the source Is in the accumula.
tions of mud and debris at the bottom.
Another Indication is that uItil the
sHmmer Of 1892, a case Of typhoid fever
was rather rare thing in our town.
But wbateVer the source, the author
tiles of the town should not rest until
they find and remove It, if possible.
Surely what you have already published
on this subject ia enough to arouse th'
most stolid and tnconcsrned, and max
il necessary for those who are In autnor
ity TO resort to more aggressive and enec
tive measures TO remove the trouble, hnt
thus relieve themselves from RESPONSE

AWAITING THEIR FATE.
AN AFFECTING SCENE IN THE
COUNTY JAIL.
New Theory Regarding Ono Of tho
Accused Murdsrsrs of Camille
Elikan - IL His Mind
Unbalanced?

The accused murderers OF Camille
Elikan are passing quiet time in the
county jail. Feeler lie occupying a tank
on the TOP floor while Healey is in one
of the middle tanks and they both pass
the time in reading or sitting quietly,
looking out through the eratings.
II will take the good people of quiet
little Long Beach long time to recover
from the shock which the murder of
young Camille Elikan and the arrest OF
Healey and Feeler for the crime gave
them.
There were very few people in Long
Beach who did not have a speaking ao-
qusintance with Healey. While be
worked for Elikan he solicited orders
and delivered goods around town. He
was Q laxative sort OF fellow and made
scqusintancee. While he was not con-
nidered vicious, the general impression
WAS that he would never amount to
much. he being OF rather negative ma
tnre and inclined toward ease.
There is q theory, considered very
"fshy" by those who have heard it. in
regard to Healey, which may possibly
figure in the case. On the right side of
his neck is a large scar. caused by an
operation which was performed upon
him some time ago, to remove q growth
in the neck. 1t is asserted that in 70.
moving the thing the physicians came
too close to the base OF the brain and
that the mans mind has been affected
ever since.
As drowning man catches ut straw,
the defense may catch at this idea when
1t comes to the trial.
Healey's vile and mother-in-lsw
called upon him at the Jail yesterday
and quite an affecting scene took place.
Heaiey seems to accept the situation
better than his partner in crime.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 27.-Neither
President Cleveland nor any of the east
ern railroad men comprising the Gem
eral Managers association will be called
to California to testiiy in the strike
conspiracy cases now ON trisl here be-
fore United States District Judge
Morrow.
Attorney Monteith. representing the
A.R.U. men, recently demanded that
President Cleveland be summoned to
give testimony az to why he issued his
strike proclamation, declaring martial
law, and why the troops were called out.
Subpenaes were also demanded for
me N bers OF the General Managers aseo-
citation. The defense sought to prove
that the mails we're not stopped by the
A. R.U.. but through conspiracy in
which President Cleveland and the GEN
eral Managers association figured, and
that the calling out of the troops was
but an inciG emit Of this alleged conspir-
acy.
Judge Morrow ruled today that he had
no authority to subpoena any witness
from any point outside the judicial dis
trict in which he presides.
The judge said the defense had argued
that the railroad companies had delayed
the mails, and that the testimony OF the
president and others would be needed to
prove it. This the court held was not
material. In this case it would do no
good to prove that the railroad compa-
MES delayed the mails. This would not
show that the defendants were innocent.
If the president had called out tho
troops to suppress the strike in opposi-
ton to the constitution. it would prove
nothing as to the responsibility of the
strike. He, therefore, deDied the mo.
ton.
Attorney Monteith made application
to have the deposition of President
Cleveland. Judge Morrow took the sp-
plicstion under consideration. The APP
pointment of a commission for this pur-
pose would be necessary.

SCHOOL FESTIVALS.
6uperintend ent Hsarch's Instructions
tho Teachers.


supsrintsndsnt Hsarch's Instructions to
tho Teachers.
Prof. P. W. Search, superintendent OF
the city schools. has addressed circu-
lar letter TO the teachers OF the city
which will be OF interest to parents and
others interested in school matters. The
circular is as follows:
The school year will have its three
special festivals-the autumnal festival ,
the day Of patriotism and the spring
festival. Each of these festival days
will be approached by a term of study
in keeping with the thought involved.
The exercises pertaining to the an.
tumnal festival should comprehend the
three elements:
The elimination OF our sutumnal
study. This is the worlds fruitage sea-
son-tbe harvest home OF many coun.
ties. Many OF the studies OF the year
have been colored by this trend OF
thought. The drawing has compre.
hended the study OF fruit; the music,
its appropriate songs; elementary sci
ence and literature have made their
happy contributions. and language has
given special expression. The kinder
gartens have beautifully conserved the
idea. The festival will be held on the
day preceding Thanksgiving. Appro-
pirate exercises covering one hour OF
time should be arranged. The rooms
should be attractiveiy decorated in
keeping with the autumnal thought,
and the attempt made to make the day
q bright and joyous occasion.
In remembrance of the unfortunate
the children should be encouraged to
each make come little exprassiou. Give
them the though: OF mana relations to
his fellows and the spirit OF true phi
lanthropy. Encourage each child to be
represented by some gift to the poor, no
matter how homely. A potato or An
apple is an appropriate gilt, but it Is to
be the child's privilege to give more. Ex-
plain the things that would be specially
acceptable but carefully avoid require-
menrs. True sociology demands the
education of q child should include
recognition of his relations to others
and happy expression OF generous
spirit. The intention of the Offering
certainly includes care for those in dis
tress. but il has a greater ethical value
in that which it does for the giver.
The various gifts may be tastefully
arranged in the rooms or halls. rele.
phone the Office Wednesday morning.
between IL and IL. as to probable guam
tity. Wagons will call for the offerings
between 80 ard 5 80 p. m. The Asso-
ciated Charities will be utilized for dis
tribution of gifts.
The exercises Of the day should cover
the history and intent OF Thanksgiving
day. All the exercises should prepare
the children all the better for enjoyment
OF the holiday.
