from H. D. Millard, George E. Jones
and F. Ne Jones for a. franchise to erect
poles and wires for telephone or tele-
graphic service from Perkins to Walsh's
Station The franchise is asked for
twenty years.
1t was ordered that the petition be
March 11th. If the franchise should
the county shall have the use of said
line free for official business.
Constable Alter was granted leave of
absence from the county for thirty
days.
bonds were approved.
The sum of $1O0 was appropriated
from the immigration fund to the Cali
for2ia State Poultry and Kennel Asso-
citation to meet the deficiency arising
| from it's recent exhibition in Sacra-
mento 1t was shown that the associa-
tion was organized and is maintained
chiefly for the furtherance of the
poultry interests of the county and the
State.

the Yolo County officials the sum due
Sacramento County up to this time on
| taxes collected on ferry boats plying
between the two counties. Yolo has
regularly collected it's share from Sac
ranmento, but the latter has never re-
ceived anything from Yolo.
| E. w. Springstead, Health Officer az
Elk Grove, in his report for January,
states that he had quarantined several
residences there in which diphtheria
prevailed and one of scarlet fever.
| A petition was received for a new
road from the middle Freeport road, at
Whisky Hill to Highland Park, a dis
tance of one and one-quarter miles.
Jerry Shook, ]. S. Boggess and County
! Surveyor Boyd were named as viewers
to lay out the proposed road.
Much of yesterdays session was de-
voted to the examination and auditing
of demands against the county. Su-
pervisor Morrison discovered one for
$1OO salary of County Detective Gold
ing for the month of January. He called
the attention of the board and District
Attorney Baker to the matter, and
asked the latter if it was not in the
second week of January that he ap-
pointed Golding.
Baker said he believed it was, but
supposed it was customary to allow
full months salary in such case.
| Supervisor Mclaughlin was under
the impression that it was near the
first OF the month that Golding's duties
begun, but an examination of the min
utes of the board showed that the de-
tective entered on his duties on the
18th.
Therefore the demand was cut down
to allowance for twenty days services.
The sum of $50 was allowed Coroner
McMullen for burying a citizen whose
widow was without means.
A recess was taken until 10 o'clock
this morning.

COURSING NOTES.
Reward Offered for the Arrest of
Dog Prisoners.

At a meeting of the local coursing
club last evening it was decided to
offer a reward of S25 for the arrest
and conviction of the party or parties
that have been poisoning valuable
greyhounds in this city of late. The
owner Of Reception and Brother John,
the two promising pups that sue
cumbed to the poison fiend last Satur-
day also offers a reward of $50. The
club took a firm stand for the protec-
ton of all dog owners, and no doubt
will receive the support of all friends
of the canine family in suppressing this
evil
AS evidence of the confidence that
the local coursing men have in the
management of the club the L. A. & Y.
Kennels have secured a promising
young dog from San Francisco which,
when thoroughly conditioned should
prove a dangerous competitor for the
crack-a-jacks Of this community.
Bartells Bros. of Denver, whose ken
nels are among the largest and fastest
in the country, intend to start several
of their best dogs here in the near
future.
Since his defeat by Arrah-Go-On last
ing week, the once invincible Promise
Me has no terrors for the local leash
men.
Fashion Plate the valuable sapling
which was SO badly injured in her race
last Sunday with White Rocket, is
rapidly improving, and her owners have
hopes of starting her in the puppy
stake of the 18th inst.
The work of Wide-Awake, the hand
some white and fawn-colored son Of
Promise Me-School Girl, last Sunday
was surprise to even his most ar
dent admirers. Although only TWEEN
ty months old, he met and defeated
such ones as Joe Wolcott, Bluestone and
Crafty, and went down only before the
invincible Arrah-Go-On, the winner of
the stake.
Cricket, the black flyer of Mcdonald
& Murphy's kennels. is fast recovering
from her severe illness, and will be
heard from near the big end of the
stakes in the near future.
The program for next Sunday will
consist of an open stake for all-aged
dogs, and a puppy stake for dogs un-
der eighteen months old. The young
sters always prove a good drawing
card, and keep the wise ones at their
wits ends picking the winners. The
work of the young dogs is watched
with intense interest by greyhound
owners and all lovers of the sport.

Press Censorship at Manila.

The eleven newspaper and press as
sociation correspondents located at
Manila, lately united in the following
statement:
THE undersigned, being all staff cor
respondents of American newspapers
stationed in Manila, unite in the FOL
lowing statement:
I'VE believe that, owing to Official
dispatches from Manila made pubic IN
Washington. the people of the United
States have not received correct I'M
preston of tie situation in the Philip
pines, but that these dispatches have
presented an optimistic view that
il not shared by the general officers IN
the field.
I'VE believe the dispatches incorrect
ly represent the existing conditions
among the Philippines in respect to dls-
sension and decentralization resulting
from the American campaign and to
the brigand character of their army
We believe the dispatches err IN the
declaration that the situation Is well IN
hand. and in the assumption that the
insure ction can be speedily ended with
out a greatly increased force.
I'VE think the tenacity of the FIN
pino purpose has been under-est1mated
and that the statements are unfounded
that volunteers are willing TO engage IN
further service.
THE censorship has compelled us to
participate in this misrepresentation Dy
excising or altering uncontroverteo
statements of facts on the plea, as Gen
eral Otis stated, that they would alarm
the people at home, or have the people
of the United States by the ears
Specifications OF hospi-

The Judge i'm Politics.

The Philadelphia Press thus scores
the political Judge. We have several OF
them in Western Pennsylvania and the
comments Of the Press are to the point:
THE uss Of the judicial Office to in
fluence the political action OF the citizen
can have no other effect than to dis
honor the bench. No Judge can enter
into political intrigue, making dickers
and bargains with factional workers
here and there in his district, without
stultifying himself, taking the manhood
and independence ont of his decisions
and rulings, and thus forfeiting the re-
spect and confidence which should be
felt for the courts and wholly destroy
ing his usefulness ss q judge. No one
who IL fit to be on the bench viii pursue
such q course as that. No Judge who
wants the approval OF the people, and
who expects to continue on the bench,
win attempt it. 1t has been the undo
ing Of more than one judge in Pennsyl
vania
ssWhat reward can be given any com
mon pleas judge to compensate him fc1
the loss he must suffer when he degrades
his position by attempting to boss party
politicsf Promises made for the future
are worthless in such cases. The very
fact that he has done the discreditable
work required of him effectively bars
the way to future preferment, whether
by appointment or election. The record
shows that such have not been the ones
elevated to high judicial position.
