San Francisco, Oct. 13.-The tri-
umphal return of the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment concluded at the govern
ment reservation with the arrival of
the command at its quarters in the
identical spot occupied during the long
days of waiting for orders to go to the
orient last year.
There is months pay coming to the
Kansas men, and they will probably
draw this before they have been many
days ashore. The papers of the regi-
ment have been made all ready for the
mustering-out officers, and there is but
little to do or to delay matters. The
accounts must all go back to Washing
ton, however, and that will take up
the time while the regiment is waiting.
The following men from the Twen-
tieth Kansas on the Tartar were adj
mitted to the general hospital at the
Preside yesterday: William R. Smith,
Walter Sher burne, company A; Wilson

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The Twen-

charged soldiers who arrived here
Tuesday night on the transport Tartar
were landed yesterday, after being
anchored in the stream all morning
during the progress of the health Of
ficers' examination. Their stay at
anchor was made less monotonous by
the attentions of hundreds of people
who journeyed as near to the transport
as the quarantine regulations would
permit and showered messages and
questions upon the boys. Fruits and
good things to eat were in abundance

passed on board much to the gratifica-
ton of the soldiers. When the inspec-
ton was finished early in the afternoon
and the word was passed among the
soldiers that the vessel would be
docked Immediately. A great hurrah
greeted the announcement and the
soldiers commenced their preparations
for debarllatiOn. Under the guidance
of a powerful tug boat the transport
was towed to the government dock.
The water front was black with people,
all anxious to greet the Twentieth
Kansas. As the Tartar passed slowly
along the water front the soldiers were
cheered time and again. Flags were
dipped and whistles and calliOpeS added
to the din.
The march to the Preside reserva-
ton was an exciting one for the SOL
dierS The welcome they received was
second only to that accorded the home
troops on their return. Both sides of
Market street and the other streets
through which the soldiers passed
were thronged with excited people, all
anxious to do them homage. Cheers
upon cheers passed up and down the
lines of people. Cannons were fired at
intervals bells changed and whistles
tive noises to the occasion.
Escorted by the following bodies the
Kansans marched to the Presidio:
Artillery officers and band from the
Preside and four companies of artil-
1ery. Gen. Funston and Gov. Stanley,
of Kansas, and escort followed. The
throngs surged around Gen. Funston
and he had great difficulty making
progress through the crowds. Cheer
upon cheer greeted him, but his only
acknowledgment was military
salute and an occasional doffing of his
cap. A great break in the parade oc-
Cured here and an admiring mass of
people filed the interval. The soldiers,
headed by Col. Metcalf, followed. Each
man carried a gun which had been de-
corated with flowers. The crowds
simply would not let the soldiers pass
in peace. Breaks occurred every few
minutes. Relatives and friends broke
into the ranks and marched with the
soldiers, some smiling and laughing
and others crying, but all happy and
glad
The regimental colors, little the
worse for wear, in spite of the arduous
campaign through which they had
passed, called forth a tremendous burst
of applause whenever they were sight
ed. Taking it all in all, the soldiers
looked to be in fair health, but, of
course, there were some who showed
the effects of the severe ordeal through
which they have passed. Bringing up
the rear of the regiment were the hos
pital wagons, not very heavily loaded
with sick. The parade was reviewed
on Vanness avenue by Gen. Shafter,
Gov. Stanley, and Gov. Rogers, of
Washington, and their stats.
Gen. Funston, in an interview yester-
day, said:

Drowning of william A. Snow.
William A. Snow, son of Chancellor

a reporter for the San Francisco

cruised for two hours, but he was

SOIInu Sense

One of the wisest men in Cumber-
land at this writing is f. H. Welsh,
chairman of the water works com
mlttee. In report to council Mon
day evening he writes in part:
That the Potomac river is polluted. what
ever may be the source, is patent to the most
unobserving, and as the watershed becomes
more thickly populated, as we shall hope it
may be, more sewerage will naturally be
emptied into our present water supply The
Potomac is the natural sewer for this whole
region, always has been and always will be.
Knowing this since your committees nduc-
ton into office, we have always had a better
and purer supply III mind Pure water is ma
ture second best gift to mankind Where
shall we get 1t? The solution of this problem
is what we are working on. With about the
amount the water commissioners wish to eX-
pend on a relisting of the water takers in our
city, we think we can demonstrate to you and
through you to our citizens that we can pro-
cure an adequate supply Of pure soft water,
and totally free from any present or future
source of contamination. This is and has
been our aim and desire since being appoint
ed on this committee.
There is more good foresight, more
good sense, more good purpose in that
paragraph than has yet appeared in
any Cumberland print on the water
problem.

Pure Water,

The analysis of Frostburg water,
published in the JOURNAL last week
gave great satisfaction to very many
people.
And yet those who did not take the
trouble to figure ont the proportions
of purity and impurity are not aware
OF how very small the latter is.

Missing the Mark

1t is not altogethera question of who
pays more taxes.
The paramount end of that matter is
who eats the more taxes.
The debt and credit account stands
about this way:
Georges Creek pays more taxes than
Cumberland.
Cumberland eats all the taxes she
pays, and, for dessert, eats Il good big
slice of what Georges Creek pays.
That is the long and short of that
business.

JOURNAL
does not attempt to deny the Nc~S' charge
that its motive seems to be simply to stir up
bad feeling between Cumberland people and
Georges Creek people.
There are some charges that are too
silly to deny.
This is one of them.
And for this reasOn-there is not Il
cent more for this region to lose in
