but every atom of antagonism in our
mai ure is reused to resent the intrusion
or the mere hint of such al possibility as
our daily papers have suggested in the
cont animation of our drinking water.
1t is good advice to tell the people not
to drink Sacramento water, but there
are many poor families who are too
poor to pay for a newspaper or to buy
water brought from outside the city,
even if they realized their danger.
1t was reported last summer, when
typhoid fever was raging in our city,
that the water had become polluted
from the State Prison at Folsom, and
again another suspected source was the
river boats.
The other sources of pollution were
we'll aired in the daily papers, and after
a time they were presumably investi-
gated. Some do not believe that water
had anything to Go with the cases of
typhoid fever here, as there were many
cases outside of the city and in the
country where we'll water was used.
But be that as it may, we all know
there are many homes in our city
mourning the loss of dear ones who
We're victims of the disease, and in the
face of facts would it not be at least
just and kind to lay aside personal
opinions and use every means to pre-
vent another such scourge in the near
future?
1t is very interesting TO read each day
the percentage of bacilli excluded by
the proposed plan of filtering, but when
we are told that filtering the Sacra-
nlento water will not exclude disease
germs, it makes the dear people uneasy,
as it were.
Somebody once asked the question,
when doctors disagree who shall de-
eide" and the unexpected answer
came, 1.-THE undertaken usually does.
1t seems that the undertaken is liable
fer his share in the causation of the
difficulties ahead of us, and it does not
need a doctor nor lawyer to point out
the remedy-any schoolboy could do it.
I If our city fathers are asleep, or
unwilling to bear the censure of few
people who prefer to drink the filthy
water as it is represented to us, the
reiEs of government might safely be
handed over to the city mothers and
predict that something would surely
happen!
More than one person was made nerv-
Gus, apprehensive and almost i'll from
reading the article printed in yesterday

public may profit by such timely
warning, I plead for those who are
helpless and unable to avert the threat

The WHEELMEN ARE ACTIVE.
CLUB WORKING FOR BETTER
WHEELWAYS.
Members Have Advanced Ideas as
to Street Sprink1ing and
Cleaning.

A free conference of all the officers
and committeeman of the several de-
partments of the Capital City Wheel
mems Club was held last evening to
consider all matters relating to the
opening of the wheeling season, the
further advance Of the club, street and
road interests, social features of the
club, membership, etc. The conference
lasted over two hours, and proved one
Of the most interesting meetings ever
held in club interest, and largely also
in public interest.
After every subject brought up by
the several club sections had been con-
sidered-and each was ripe with sug-
gestions-these resolutions were unani-
mcusly agreed to and recommended to
the club for adoption.
First-That in view of the defeat of
the Folsom road bill and the bicycle
license bill, renewed and extended at
tention be given to wheelways or paths
along all main country roads, and that
the interest of rural residents in these
ccnveniences be enlisted; that the main
wheelway from Sacramento to Alder
Greek be greatly improved, and be at
once made as nearly ideal as conditions
will permit and to that end that to the
Sl20 in Wheelway Committees funi
the club add by way of an advance the
sum of 5000; that the thought of a.
wheelway to Gait and one to Auburn
be pursued diligently, and that the Su-
pervisors be urged to Immediately con-
struct the path on Schiey avenue petit
toned for by property owners on that
route, since such construction is
cheaper and better when made while
the soil is moist; that a new and hand
some badge for all membership wheels
be considered and to testify to member
ship interest in wheelways.
Second-That until August list 81 of
all receipts from initiation fees be de-
voted solely to wheelway interest; that
the club be advised to adopt a resolu-
ton to devote one sixth of the dues in
come wholly to wheelway maintenance
ard construction.
Third-That a special committee be
raised to consider ways and means for
increased indoor facilities, handball
court being chiefly in view.
Fourth-That timely action be taken
relative to improvement in methods of
street sprinlxling, such as have been
accepted In the East in many towns and
cities, namely, to use finer spray and
to sprinkle one side of the streets of a
district at time, SO as to have one side
OF street partly wet only, while the
other side is freshly wetted; also to
consider municipal Improvement in
street cleaning.
Fifth--That club reward for the re-
covery of stolen wheels should be here
after 70 for recovery of the wheel and
80 for the arrest and conviction of the
thief. but neither to be offered except
for wheels of members in good stand
ing, who register description of their
wheels with the club, according to
form to be adopted.
Sixth-That the Race Committee be
advised to encourage local and inter-
club race contests to be held in this

be adopted at the club meeting Monday
