agency of so unscientific an organiza-
ton. By an enormous expenditure of
time and money it has done vast deal
for the advancement of science, but it is
deplorable that SO much has been vast
ed in doing this. Science is conducting
in America grand campaign for the
advancement of civilization, but it's
forces are divided into so many camps
that it does not win half the victories it
should. What is needed is an organized
army with a general staff and COM
mande in-chief."
The plan deserves serious considera
ton. Certainly no railroad, manufacture
ing company, or other industrial con-
Germ could afford to conduct its affairs
in this haphazard manner All great
commercial associations have learned
the value of thorough organization and
SyStematiZed work. The development
OF the resources of the country and the
promotion of it's industries are purely
matters of business. The success of this
work concerns every farmer, miner,
manufacturer, merchant, banker, rail-
road company, ETC.. in the country, and
they are all interested, therefore, in
having it efficiently and economically
done. They should, wherefore, be inter
ested in the facts and plans here given.

That Aerial Mystery.

Eds. Record Union: Has there
been no solution to this mystery about
the so-called airship? That a bright
light has been seen several times tray
cling through the air cannot be denied
for reputable citizens have witnessed
1t. Surely it can be no ignlls fatuus.
for whoever heard of one high in the
air and travelling against the wind.
1t seems improbable that a huge bird
is flying around at night with a lam
tern tied to its tail Surely it cannot
be meteoric III its makeup. for if it
were II would have substance. and
therefore it must fall to the ground
either as solid or in the form of
ashes, and the light produced by its
flight through the atmosphere would
disappear. l don't think I got the
JIM jams" but / saw a bright light
going through the air early yesterday
morning It's course was toward the
northeast The light as l compared it
with the one on the State Capitol had
the same appearance, but it was not
quite so bright 1t remained in sight
for over twenty minutes. / don't call
this an airship, but I would like to
know, as many others would, the solu-
ton of this aerial mystery.

MRS. MILLER'S WATCH.
A Citizen Resents a Statement in
Very Crisp Language.

The following item appeared in the
'Record-Union' yesterday morning un-
der the heading Found the Watch
Officer Pennish yesterday found the
watch and chain lost on Wednesday
night by Mrs E. Miller at or near the
Metropolitan Theater. 1t was found on
Fifth street by young man named
Willmunder, and Pennish got ON the
track of it and recovered it,
Yesterday afternoon the following
spicy communication in regard to it
was received:
Eds. Record Union" In this morn
ing's Record there is a state
ment to the effect THAT a young man
by the name of Willmunder was found
with a watch in his possession belong
ing to a Mrs. Miller and found by an
officer by the name of Pennish. The
statement would lead one to believe
that the watch was stolen, when in fact
it was found, not by Pennish, but by
a boy IL years of age, and not a young
man, and l will vouch for him against
any boy in the United States for hon
esty. Pennish got ON the track of ii"
He did not need to get on the track.
for there were a hundred or more knew
the boy found the watch and that the
owner would be after it, as it was too
valuable to lose; besides, it was not
yesterday, but the very next morning
after it was found that the lady got it
Some officers of Sacramento are like
the Spanish in Cuba-they must kill
somebody to make a showing. If these
officers that get on the track would
get off the track and catch some of the
petty thieves that infest the city they
would confer a great blessing on the
community. l have lived in Sacra-

WANTS THE MONEY.
j. e. Mitchell Still Trying to Get 1t
From Eugene Palmer.

j. E. Mitchell has commenced suit
in the Superior Court against George t.
Palmer and Eugene Palmer, asking
that the latter may be decreed to be the
owner of the undivided half of the ranch
formerly and that the conveyance by
him to his brother of his interest be de-
clared null and void.
1t will be remembered that ON April
1, 1895, Mitchell entered upon the
lands of the Palmer brothers, upon
which notices to treSpasSers had been
posted, to gather flowers. Eugene Pal
mer shot at him and, as he claimed,
wounded him. He sued Palmer for
1902 80 and obtained Judgment for
the amount in March, 1896. On April
,, 1899, however, shortly after the
shooting, Eugene transferred to his
brother his half of the ranch and after
wards was fined 500 in the Superior
Court, which he paid. Mitchell then
sued for damages and got Judgment,
which he now seeks to enforce.
