SACRAMENTO
INSTITUTIONS.
The Capital City Becoming Widely
Known for Its Scientific and Lit
erary Institutions The One
Founded in 1893 a Great Success.

Perhaps no feature of progress in this
country furnishes better criterion of
the general professional activity in a
community than the prominent medical
establishments there existing. In this
respect Sacramento keeps pace with pro-
gress and stands abreast with any city in
the West, and the subject of our sketch,
mento Sanitarium, bears the most favor
able comparison with those of any city
This is partly due to the appreciation and
liberal patronage of the citizens of Sacra-
mento and the State of California.
The manager, DR.. j. II. Neagle, is a
regular physician, having attended the
Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia,
Louisville, Kentucky, and graduated with
honors He also has numerous diplomas
and certificates for special courses, and
has been licensed to practice medicine and
surgery by the State Boards of New York,
Missouri and California.
Before locating in Sacramento, DR.. Nea-
gle practiced medicine at New York City
was removed from st. Louis to Sacra-
mento seven years ago and permanently
located in elegant apartments in the bus
mess center of the city, at 124la X street
The parlor is very large and handsome
and always open TO the many visitors and
patients of the Institute. The operating
and consultation rooms adjoining the par

NOT A BOGIE MAN.
Just a Harmless Seeker For Pupils
in "Cherman.''

A number of timid young women, old
and young, have lately been frightened
by a somewhat eccentric person whom
they have supposed to be insane
The man has been in the habit of
calling at front doors, and when the
bell was answered he would ask in a
quick, excited manner, do you speak
Cherman?" This he repeats as often
as he is asked what he means. and
soon the door is slammed in his face.
Then he gets angry and rips out va
rious oatbs as ne goes away, and the
women tell of what a time they had
with a crazy man.
Special Officer W. A. Carroll heard
of several women who had been fright
ened by the man, so yesterday he camp
ed on his trail till he found him. He
ascertained that the man is a teacher
of German, and perfectly harmless.
though perhaps a little eccentric. He
goes about seeking pupils, hence his
persistent query, DO you speak Cher
man?"
The man thought he had been very
rudely treated by many at whose houses
he called and naturally got angry when
people looked queerly at him and shut
their doors on him.

BANK ROBBERY.
An Illinois Institution Looted Of a
Large Sum-

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25-The Troy Ex-
change Bank, at Troy, H., eighteen
miles from ST Louis, was wrecked by
safe blowers about 2:3O a. IN. and ev-
erything of value in the bank was
taken. The robbers secured between
$1,000 and $1,000 in cash and stacks
of bonds and other securities and es-
capped
The robbers drove into town in a car
riage, and after robbng the bank drove
out again without being molested. They
were seen driving toward EdWardsville,
the county seat of Madison County,
shortly after the burglary 1t is be-
lieved the robbers are experts. and that
they were from this city. Sheriff
Kuntze organized posse and went in
pursuit OF them, but without result.
The noise of the explosion was ileard
a mile from town. II terrified every
body, but no one investigated the affair
except a doctor living near by, and he
was not able to prevent the robbery.
From the appearance of the inside of
the bank it seemed that nitro -glycerine
was used. The vault had been opened
without explosives and the door of the
safe was blown through the counter
and carried to the front of the build
ing, twenty-five feet distant.

WELLS NEARLY READY.
Good Progress Made For the East
Side Tests.

The Committee on Wells, sub-com-
mittee of the Citizens Water Investi-
cation Committee, is progressing rapid
ly in its work of sinking wells for a
practical pumping test of the East side
water supply. A Record Union" re-
porter yesterday called on a member
of the subcommittee, from whom the
following facts were obtained:
Besides the two Chamber Of Com
merce wells on the Kellogg tract which
will be utilized in making the test, one
other we'll on the same tract has been
completed and two are we'll under way,
and the committee expects to have all
the wells-six or seven-finished and
ready for the pumps in two weeks.
In sinking one we'll on the lower end
of the Kellogg tract cobbies were struck
at the depth of fifty-four feet. This
bed, however, was too near the surface
to indicate anything concerning the
quantity of water. After going through
foot of the cobbles the hole was
abandoned.
Permission was yesterday given the
committee to sink Well on he tract
adjoining the Kellogg tract, and To-
morrow the contractor will begin work
at that point. The six or seven wells
Will be in a line, north and south, as
suggested by Mr.. LIE Conte. the expert
engineer retained as an advisor.
The Committee on Wells are making
every effort to get six or seven l.ortable
threshing machine engines 20 give the
power for pumping, and are also on the
lookout for seven seven linen centrifugal
pumps with which to make the test
1t is proposed to push the work as
rapidly as possible, and the practical
pumping test of the East side well sup
ply may be looked upon as a certainty.
