| present myself candidate for reelection
to the position of Mayer, presuming on 10th.
ing more than the custom of according a Sec
ond term to nearly all who have heretofore
held the office. For many years this has
been recognized courtesy, and while it, of
course, affords no claim, l canuot complain OF
those who desire to make ME an exception
to the rule. IN announcing myself candi-
date for reelection l wish merely to say that
have LAT ored 10 give satisfaction, as public
servant and | am conscious of having treated
all with the courtesy and consideration due
them, and have endeayorcd to manifest
conservative spirit. The last few months of
my term have been fraught with issues not
common in Mayors Office affairs, but have
met each fairly and avoided no response
biiity. Should you deem me worthy of your
support / will appreciate the confidence be-
slowed. Respectfully,
LUTHER Fl THOMPSON.

Not Exactly Right
mot Sick Enough for the Bed or Well Enough
For the Table,"
Minister'S Wife APPLY Describes Well Known Condition
Tells How 1t Was Overcome.

There are thousands of people in all
walks of life, particularly at this sea-
son, who are "not exactly right" and
yet are not sick, for whom single
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla would do
world of good, as it has done for
others. Business and professional men
as well as the busy housewife are es-
pecialy susceptible to this debiIitated
feeling It is the peculiar combination
of the best tonic, anti-bilious, diuretic
and Alternative agents of the vegetable
kingdom, carefully and scientifically
combined, which enables Hoods Sar-
saparilla to reach simple as well as
serious ailments when all other medi-
cines fail. Read Mrs. Hunts letter:
&C. /. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
"Dear Sirs: II trust that the pubiica-
tion OF my testimonial may serve to intro
duce Hoods sarsaperilla to many who
need physical improvement, and lead
them to give it trial. My husband,

HOBOS INVADE WASHINGTON.
But They Come to Grief, and Incl
denta!ly to Jail.

Constables Frommelt, Russell and
McGregor of Washington, Yolo County,
late last night deposited five frst-class
hobos in the City Prison for safe keep
ing
1t seems that the quintet, together
with a sixth individual, who gave leg
bail and was promptly shot at and as
promptly missed, took possession of the
Ievee in front Of the village and per-
sistently demanded beer money from
pedestrians. Their demands at length
became monotonous and resulted in one
Of their victims swearing out a warrant
based on the Vagrancy Act for their
arrest.
The names OF the hobos as they ap-
pear on the slate at the prison, are
Bert Harper, Ed. Clayton, Fred Ed
wards (colored), Fred McCape and Bert
SeatOn supposed to be deaf and dumb).
Harper and Clayton We're yesterday
morning released from jail here, having
been arrested on suspicion of having
burglariZed a store in Lodi Of num-
ber of knives, raZors, etc. When dis
charged by the court the men acknOwl-
edged that the cutlery did not belong
to them, and it was confiscated, but
from the fact that they were offering
knives for sale across the river, it is
evident that part of their plunder had
been cached in anticipation of rainy
day.

CLOUDS OF DUST.
Cannot the Sprinklers be Sent Out to
Law It?

The clouds of dust raised by the wind
yesterday in some of the streets of the
city were a menace to health and an
annoyance to those who We're forced to
be out doors. Very general complaint
was made concerning it.
1t would seem as if citizens and tax
payers We're entitled to some considera-
ton in the matter. but they seem to get
very little. Last fall the Board of City
Trustees passed resolution that the
superintendent of Streets should Sprin-
kle the streets whenever, in his opinion,
they needed it.
President Leonard was asked by a
'Record-Union' reporter last night why
the streets were not sprinkled.
Il do not know" said he. ''The Mayor
has the oversight of those things, and
could easily have it done, if he wished.
If he sent notice to the Trustees that
he thought the streets should be Sprin-
kled while they are so dusty, l am
sure there would be no trouble about
having it done. All he has to do is to
speak about it
Whoever has control of the matter
will certainly lose nothing III the esti-
n alton of the people by attending to
it, as the city has plenty of sprinkling
wagons that can be put to work to pu-
rify the atmosphere by laying the dust.

TESTING THE PUMPS.
Have Been Running Under Steady
Pressure Nearly Two Days.

Many people have wondered why the
water in the mains has been so full of
mud for the past two days, as the river
did not seem to be any more muddy
than for a week past.
Inquiry at the Water Works last
night developed the fact that test was
being made of the new pumps and boil
ers, under the supervision of Cobb and
Hesselmeyer of San Francisco and J..
H. Godbold of Stockton, the experts Sc
lected by the Trustees for the city, and
who will make a preliminary report on
Monday night to the board.
The test commenced on Thursday
morning at 9 o'clock, and will end this
morning at 9 O'Clock. 1t is an exhaus-
tive test of the capacity of the new
pumps, and also test of the engines.
Last night at II o'clock everything
showed them to be in good order and
overrrunning the contract requirement.
The boilers show a high rating, are
economical in making steam and the
engines are economical in using it. The
coal is carefully weighed, and every
thing done to ascertain exact results
from the amount of fuel used. The do
mestic pressure has been kept up fully
during the test, and the hydrants have
been blown off regularly.

one year ago yesterday We're G3 and
53, with 0.16 inches Of rain, and one
year ago to-day % and 90 degrees, with
0.S4 inches of rain.
The barometer was steady at 301o
inches last evening, with a dew point
at ; o'clock of 33 degrees. There was
every indication of a severe frost this
morning, providing the wind should
fan to a velocity OF from two to four
miles per hour. With g brisk wind of
say nine miles, the air would be kept
50 thoroughly stirred UP that it would
have 10 chance to cool by radiation
when near the ground.

TOOK THE CUFF BUTTONS.
An Ungrateful Beggar Who Was Fed
by Sympathetic Woman.

Officers Fisher and Maley yesterday
arrested an ungrateful bum for petit
larceny whose name is Fred. little.
He went to the house of Mrs. Hill, on
NJ street. between Third and Fourth.
and asked for something TO eat. He has
only one leg, and Mrs. Hill, plying
him. cooked him a square meal. After
he had gone, however, she missed pair
of gold cuff buttons that she knew We're
lying on the bureau in the room where
he sat before his arrival.
She informed officer Maley and de-
scribed the fellow. The officers soon
ran across him and taxed him with the
theft which he at first denied, but he
afterward confessed to taking the but
tons and told where he had sold them
for twenty cents, and the officers re-
covered them. He has been in trouble
before the officers say.

and rejoicing, but was work, and
meant get UP and do" She pointed
her remarks with several apt lllustra-
tions, among others observing that the
lady of the house seldom ever spoke to
the maid in the kitchen concerning her
immortal soul, while here, as else
where, good seed might be sown. She
exhorted her hearers to at once listen
to the glad tidings and work in the
byways and the highways for the
King
Everybody, she submitted, recognize
ed the omnipotence and power of God,
and none more than the farmer who
made preparations for planting six
months before he might expect to
reap. His was a plan which might
we'll be followed by those seeking re-
ligion. They ought to make prepara-
tions in advance that the harvest
might be bountiful.
Religion as theory, Mother Van
Cott said, was not what was needed
She believed ministers and Christians
generally We're honest, but instead of
their counsels, she recommended the
Bible. 1t was the fountain head, and
as a guide was far beyond even the
most gifted adviser. It was the duty
of everybody to read it and live up to
it's teachings The difficulty had come
to be that most people measured by
themselves by themselves instead
of by the word of God. They
were intolerant of the sins Of
others, but unwilling that their own
pet sin should be included in the cate
good devil Those who We're willing
to give up all sin except their pet sin
were still sinners. God looked upon
sin without one degree of allowance.
The expression "Oh, yes. I'm a
member of the church." was often
heard. but when the test question
Have you got religion?" was put, the
answer usually was, "Oh, We'll!
guess I'm as good as the rest Of them" :"
This, the preacher submitted, was poor
religion.
In passing, Mother Van Cott paid
her respects to the wealthy. whom she
drew as wiping contrite tears with
$3.50 pocket handllerchiefs and subse-
quently dropping quarters into the
missionary box. The man whose in
come, she said, is S25 a year owed
tithe of it to God and the man whose
income is $4,000 year owed in the
same ratio. If that tithe was not
paid they were thieves. Personally,
she explained, she did not make the
charge but it was Gods word and
Gods word was law.
In conclusion the lady made a strong
appeal to Christians to work and TO
those not in the fold to come in while
the gate was open. AT the close of the
service she was warmly congratulated
by scores of old friends
