BAD INFLUENCES.
Effort to Have a Little Girl Re-
moved Therefrou.

Judge Johnson yesterday heard some
testimony in the case of a 12-year- old
girl named Bessie Johnston, whom the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children is trying to have removed
from bad surroundings and provided
with a good home.
The girls father is in Oregon, and
her mother is married to a man named
Nealon. 1t was evident that the child
was trying to shield her mother while
being questioned as to her surround
ings, but Mrs Nealon's own statement
was sufficient to show that her children
had not had good examples set them.
The little girl is bright and intelli-
gent and was neatly dressed. Her
mother claimed that it was she who
procured her clothing, and she promised
Judge Johnson that if the child were
not taken from her she would have
proper attention paid to her.
Judge Johnson finally continued the
matter till this afternoon, and told Mrs
Nealon that il she could produce cred
ible witnesses whose testimony would
show that she was a proper person 20

GREEN MURDER CASE.
1t Will be Concluded in Judge
Hart's Court To-day.

There We're no sensational develop
ments at the trial yesterday of J. Ii.
Green, the colored man charged with
the murder of Chinaman named All
MIN on the Coons ranch near the Co
sumnes River, a couple of months ago
The prosecution brought out testi-
mony to the effect that the Chinaman
whom Green shot was well known III
that neighborhood as a peaceable and
Industrious man. One witness, d
young man named George Bond, testi-
fed that subsequent to the poisoning
of Frank Coons, and before All Min was
shot, he heard Green, the defendant
declare that he would "shoot the first
id Chinaman he caught about the
place.
The testimony offered by the defense
was virtually the same produced at the
preliminary examination. The defend
ant had been, he said, told to look out
for Robert Coons' house during his alb
sence; that after a short absence on
Thanksgiving Day he returned to the
house and found the Chinaman just
leaving it; that he suspected mischief
and called on him to stop; that the
Chinaman ran and he (Green) shot but
not to kill him.
The defense Will conclude this fore
noon, and the case will probably be
submitted to the jury this afternoon.
The jurors are +. H. Krebs, It. g.

Eds. Record Union: The RECORD
Union" as we'll as a number OF other
papers published in towns on the sac
ramento River, have for the last tWerey
years been writing and suggesting
plans for preventing the overflow OF the
Sacramento River.
The levee system is sad failure,
and drainage has become impracticablo.
Now what remains? The levee system
is far more disastrous when a break
occurs for when the water poufs
through these breaks it not only de-
stroys crops but cuts and furroWs the
land to such an extent that it takes
wears of hard labor and a vast outlay To
bring it back to a state of cultivation.
| have lived on the bank of the Sac
ramento River for over twenty years.
/ have been careful observer of the
rise and fall of the water in the rainy
season. l have seen oVerfioWs, caused
by rains and the melting of snow, that
no human agency could stay. l have
seen whole farms devastated, pubic
roads washed out so that nothing could
be done in the way of repairs to make
them passable, and new land bought
for roads.
Now. | ask, what is to be done about
it? Did it ever occur to you, as a
practical observer, what could be don5
as the most feasible plan?
l submit briefly that law be passed
compelling parties who own land along
the river to level these levees, and the
county bear its due part for the ex-
pense incurred to open the sloughs
which are the natural outlets, by max
inor on1 that thew the
sloughs) be leveed.
You well know that on the west side
of the Sacramento River there is q
natural basin leading to Suisun Bay
that would carry off all the surplus
water from the river that is now dam
med up by these levees. You are also
aware that on the east side of the riv-
er all the sloughs are damned up that
would empty into Butte Creek, with
its southerly course.
These leVees were built to reclaim
land, and now, as there is no land tc
be reclaimed, why should we not re-
claim thesN lands from the disastrous
effects of inefficient levees?
The higher we build the levees, the
higher will be required, for each high
water fills the bed, lessening its capac-
lN, 1oI WHICH, lldltti6 lOI iiiCA IL
Tear down these levees, open the
sloughs, deepen the same, and you VIII
have practicable results.
| viii forfeit what experience / have
had in the last twenty years from close
observation of the levee system on th7
Sacramento River If this plan should
not succeed. Before these leVees were
built ! never saw the water sweep over
the land to exceed six inches, with nc
disastrous effect, but beneficial, as to
irrigation.
AS | said above, when break oc-
ours these days your experience as to
its results is worthy Of some extended
comments.
If the brief and modest suggestion
have named be worthy, / hope your pa
per- which has always been found aid
ing. not detracting from. the best inter
est of this valley, Will use its influence

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself rot in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and ap-
petite, with accumulation of gas, sour
risinGs and heartburn.
A. w. Sharper of No. 6i Prospect
street. Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me TO write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable med-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
have been a sufferer from nervous dys
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent HieulclneS ana OE1-
er remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off. / attributed this to my sed-
entary habits, being a bookkeeper with
little physical exercise, but l am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome
all these obstacles, for l have gained
in flesh, sleep better and am better in
every way. The above is written not for
notoriety. but is based on actual fact.
Respectfully yours,
"A. w. SHARPER,
"61 Prospect ST., Indianapolis, Ind
It IS safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
nepsia Tablets viii cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
