ACCUSES A SOLDIER.
Private John Green Charged With
 Deserting His Family.

There Is one of the volunteers whose experience in the army Is not likely to be in the line of honors and promotion. He is John Green of 239 Shipley street. Ac- cording to the complaint made recently to the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children he has a nice little wife and two small children. Without warning he left a job that paid S15 week, and with out providing for the care of his family. joined Battery B, heavy artillery. The wife told Secretary Wadham that she was destitute and the little ones have nothing to eat. Wadham at once got out a warrant for the arrest of the young man and laid the case before the officers of the battery. The latter have taken keen interest in the case and the result was that the assistant adjutant general sent the following order to Major Rice, under whose command Green now is:
 Please take such measures as will pre- vent Private John Green, Battery B, heavy artillery, from escaping until ques- tions of his status can be submitted to department commanders on Monday"

DEWEY STREET.

Editor Call: In recent issue of The Call appeared communication from Pa cific Parlor. N s. G. w., stating that 1t Is the sentiment of that parlor that the name of some street or avenue other than Balboa avenue be changed to Dewey ave nue, after the hero of Manila.
 As most of the principal streets of the city, such as Market, Mission, Kearny. Montgomery, Grant avenue, Golden Gate avenue and others, are either named aftes other heroes of our wars are peculiarly characteristic to California, I suggest that the name of East street be changed to Dewey street. It is not only a promi- nent street, but fronts on the water, hence its name being that of a naval officer would be particularly appropriate.

Break in Woodbridge Dam.

STOCKTON, May 14.-A break oc- cured to-day at the Woodbridge dam, which the farmers interested have been repairing for some time past, having had two bad breaks to set them back in their work. The break of tonight was around the eastern end of the dam and as nearly as could be judged in the darkness was about thirty feet wide. The water went out to below the level of the head gates in the canal so that 1t lost its supply. The rain of tonight will do much toward supplying the de- f1ciency and those interested will in- vestigate the break with a view of pos- sibly repairing 1t.

Don won the first prize at the San Francisco show of 1896, and at last year s show achieved the honor of being award ed the prize for the best mastiff stud dog. Don is a dog of unusual intelligence. He was frequently known to travel on the ferry to the Oakland Mole and would there board the train for Alameda. where his former owner had friends. He was never known to take the wrong train. He was in the habit of escorting his owners little boy to school, and when the latter would approach the edge of the sidewalk too closely Don would interpose his 165 pounds of bulk between his young charge and the curb, and gently but firm ly push him away from danger.

Furniture in the Rain.

The furniture of T. Harrigan who was evicted from AS Tehama street last Wednesday, was yesterday afternoon placed under cover in the cellar of a near by house. Harrigan is a blacksmith by trade, but has done no work for some time past. On Wednesday afternoon the Sheriff's deputies carried his belongings out into the street, and although neigh bors offered to store them away he re- fused to touch them In the evening he took his wife and two children away with him, and they have not visited the neigh borhood since. All day yesterday the fur niture lay out in the soaking rain, until finally a complaint was made to the Street and Health departments that the goods had been blocking the street for more than the forty-eight hours allowed by law. At about o'clock Mrs. Harri- gan's brother and a couple of friends ar rived on the scene and moved the goods to a place of safety.

Marriage In England.

Englishmen now, it is said, are emu
lating the French in the absolute disin-
olination TO marry. When they do de-
eide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part of the French idea of a
successful and convenable marriage.
The real fact of the matter is that the or
dinary modern Englishnan has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate If he has
no title, no special wealth. no great his
toric name to hand down to posterity,
single blessedness is good enough for
him. This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
Of women. Possibly this is true, prob
ably it is not. Mercenary spirits boldly
assert that marriages in England will,
Oh the whole, never be successful until
women bring dots to their husbands,
since gold inspires respect if not love.
Marriage ON strictly business basis is
evidently the future for all English wo-
men TO look forward to. San Francisco

The impression is general that Mis-
river flows about two parts of dirt and
one of mud-but the impression is erro-
neous, for the Missouri rivers water is
purer than the water of any great river
In the country, the Platte alone except
ed. 1t is true that when bucketful of
1t is dipped up it appears to be dirty,
but if the water is left until it settles it
will be found that the sediment at the
bottom is fine, dark colored sand and
not mud. The Missouri rivers water is
never muddy, save during the spring
high water.
Colonel Bill Switzler of Boonville,
Mo-, declares that the general idea that
Missouri means "big muddy" or "mud-
dy water is wrong. He says, and Col
onel Bill Switzler is All authority, that
1t means "wooden cance The name,
he says, belongs to the Illinois dialect
of the Algonquin Indians. The name
Missuris or Missouri was applied by the
Indians Of the upper lake region to the
tribe of Indians living west of the Mis-
sissippi river, because the latter used
wooden canoes instead of birch bark
canoes.
Wooden canoes had to be used on the
Missouri river because it was too turbu-
lent for the frail birch bark canoes, and
in this way the big river secured its
name.- But no matter whether Missouri
means muddy water or wooden
canoe" the fact remains that Missouri
river water is not muddy. 1t does not
flow through mud, but through fine
sand The Mississippi river water is 100
per cent dirtier than the Missouri, but

Too Heavy.

The big engines on the Montana
Central are playing hob with Jim
Hills road bed, says the Great Falls
Leader. On their first trip from
Woodville tc Clancy they knocked
the road bed out SO bad that both
engines will have to remain in the
round house for some time until the
track is repaired.
Either the road bed is poor one,
or these engines are too heavy for
any old road bed and Mr.. Hill will
have to import new one from Hun
gary or Poland that will last longer,
or do the work cheaper.
AT any rate his big "mules" have
already cost him good sum for re-
repairs to his track between here
and St. Paul and bid fair to cost
him still more before he is through
with them.
The fact is the monsters were i'm
ported by Mr.. Hill to save men.
By using them he can haul more
cars in a train and make one crew of
men do the work Of two but it looks
now as if this saving will be more
than balanced by the necessary re-
pairs which will have to be made.

paper at that, containing more inter
esting matter than many of the
country weeklies that apparently en-
JOY a far better patronage. We
don't know whether the Neihart pa
pers get all the patronage they
could reasonably expect with the
camp in its present condition or not,
but we feel safe in saying that when
the boom comes, as we doubt not
that it will in the future, the Nei-
hart public will owe their newspa-
Pers long arrears of patronage for
the time they were bravely uphold
ing the interests of the camp during
the lean years when it was mighty
poor picking for the papers. And
we believe, too, that that good time
is coming for Neihart. The 10000
people that the HERALD now sees in
its minds eye may not be there for
some years to come, but Neihart
will have future. We are inform
ed that in that camp are the only
silver mines in the state that can be
proftably worked for the silver
alone today. There is no question
but that Neihart is the queen of all
the silver camps in this state, and
when silver goes to $l.29 an ounce,
as we firmly believe it will when the
weary days of McKinleyism are over
in 1901, we expect to see big city
grow up around the base of Old
Baldy. When that time comes we
will look to see the HERALD issuing
a daily edition, and if it improves in
proportion to the present paper, on a
patronage basis, it will be issuing a
paper like the New York World
