UNDER THE SOD.
Obsequies Yesterday of the Late Ex
Judge j. w. Armstrong.


Judge j. w. Armstrong.
There was a large attendance yester-
day at the Cathedral where the funeral
services of the late ex-Judge ]. w Arm
strong were held. Nearly all the mem
bers of the bar were present, also many
of the county officials and Courthouse
attaches. Requiem mass was cele-
brated by Rev. Father Gualco of Chico,
an old and warm personal friend of the
deceased jurist.
At the grave appropriate hymns were
rendered by a quartet. Notwithstand-
ing the request that no flowers be sent,
there were few pieces and they were
very beautiful indeed. The pall-bearers
We're: Superior Judge A. p. Catlin, Su-
perior Judge Matt. F. Johnson, David
Lubin, j. H. Glide, Colonel James Nc
Nasser and Judge J. G. Ball.
The deceased havin been for many
years a Trustee of the State Library,
that department was closed during the
funeral hours, and the flag on the Capt.
tol was at half-mast out Of respect to
his memory.
Tomorrow resolutions will be pre-
sented in the Superior Court expressive
of the esteem in which Judge Arm
strong was held by his fellow-Judges
and members of the legal profession.

Italian defeat conveys a lesson also to
the nations, namely, that conquest is
not to-day what it was IN earlier peri
DDS. 1t is easy TO talk of subduing ma
ton, but if Italy, with all modern appli-
ances of war at her command and ca
pacity to equip an army of great magni-
tude and strength, cannot successfully
cope with barbarians like the Abys-
sinians, what might he expected if a
foreign Power attempted to cow US into
doing its bidding? What might we ex-
pect if the United States attempted to
outfit an expedition against another
Power to do battle with it upon its own

Death of the Wounded Jap-No News

of the Murderer.
T. Kuwana, the Japanese who was
taken to the County Hospital from
Arno on Tuesday evening with a bullet
in his body. died early yesterday morn
ing.
The Russian tramp who killed him
and his companion is still at large.
Sheriff Johnson had every Deputy
Sheriff and Constable south of this city
on the lookout for the murderer yester-
day. The Sheriff himself went down
to Arno yesterday forenoon, and had
not returned up to a late hour last
night. Neither had any word been re-
eeived from him.
1t is quite likely the officers yesterday
got on the murderers trail and are fol-
lowing him across the country. A gang
of section-men were working on the
railroad in the vicinity of McConnelPs S
Station on the afternoon of the murder.

the Russian is described to be passed

1t is quite likely he is following up
the Costumes River, as the heavy
brush along its banks affords excellent
hiding places. The river country is
thickly settled, however, and if he goes
that way he is likely to be apprehended.

HUMANE SOCIETY.
An Important Meeting of the Directors
to be Held Tonight.

10 DS 110lu IO-ulR0C.
The County Humane Society's di-
rectory viii hold a meeting this even
ing at 1880 o'clock in Judge Henry's
Courtroom, on I street, between Sixth
and Seventh. President George H.
Smith says it will be one of the most
important of meetings, and that the
Board of Directors desires the presence
and advice of members of the society
and of any others of the public who
feel an interest in the organization.
Two subjects of much public import
ance are to be considered and action
decided upon. This humane associa-
tion deserves and ought to have the
hearty encouragement of all good citi-
zens, and the kind of aid it needs, es-
pecially, is the personal assistance and
advice of people who believe it fills a
useful field. And who does not so be-

NOTE AND COMMENT

The "Diaro de la Marina" of Madrid
is very mad about the Senate resoIu-
tions, and is so hot for striking back
that it declares "the kingdom of
Heaven is not for the prudent" Which
the mad Spaniard is destined for Para
disc. What temerity.
The women of Livermore Valley are
up in arms in the matter of good roads,
and with their League of Progress pro-
pose to see to it that the county money
set aside for roads is expended in the
construction of permanent highways.
Evidently they are weary of going
about with cookie burrs in the hens of
their petticoats and basted to their ho-
siery, which is what follows the effort
of most women of rural places who dare
walk to a neighbor's over the ordinary
country road.
The City Board of Health has taken
a step for which the Record Union has
long been an advocate. We began some
two years ago the agitation of the mat
ter of milk and dairy inspection, and
have hammered away at it since with
frequency and persistency In the
meantime San Francisco and San Jose
have ordered milk and dairy inspection,
and with what remarkable beneficial
results the entire public is familiar
Sacramento has been slow to move, but
having at last moved, let us hope that
the authorities will be neither slow nor
chary in their movement. Let us have
thorough milk and dairy inspection
within the city, and not cease until we
have induced the County Supervisors
to order similar inspection of dairies
located without the jurisdiction of the
municipality 1t is a fact that ought to
startle the entire community that from
s to 10 per cent. of all cows are more or
less afflicted with tuberculosis. But if
the percentage was but 3, or =, that
ought to be sufficient to quicken the
Supervisors into lively activity in the
inspection matter A single tubereu-
losis-infected COW, from which milk is
taken that is served to families, may
involve the health and lives of a hun
dred or more human beings What,
then is the risk taken when the law
permits eight or ten such milch cows in
every one hundred to be used for milk
supply?
The New York Tribune editorially
exclaims against the big hat nuisance
in places of public assembly, and prays
that all such places may fall under the
rule of the courts of the law as did the
Taber Grand Opera-house of Denver,
that the right of the citizen may be pro-
tected against the assault of that love-
able tyrant, woman. Amen to that.

IN STATEMENT.

was hard to get, and came high. Every
thing had to be paid for in gold, for
which 81 20 in currency had to be paid
for every dollar. All the capitalists in
the country refused to invest, as the
risk was too great and the possibility
of profit too remote. In the face of the
most discouraging circumstances a few
men undertook the task and succeeded,
amid the plaudits of the nation. But
their task was not completed then. The
elements had to be fought, and over
81, 0000C0 were spent to do so. Every
place wanted a railroad, and in re-
sponse to the popular demand branch
lines were built. The statement shows
that the railroad has caused values
in land to increase greatly, the country
to develop, and has provided a means
of reaching a market with the products
of the country; 1t has caused towns to
spring up in the wilderness, and been a
general factor of good TO the country

| transported troops and supplies and
paid large sums into the treasury. In
fact, much less has been claimed in the
statement than was justified.
