DON'T LIKE IT.-Some of the gen.
tlemen who are members Of the
Washington Guards and are now
practicing at target shooting in the
limits of our town, do not like the
remarks of "Citizen" in our last is
sue. Perhaps "Citisen" might have
drawn it little milder, but if he had
there would have been little atten-
ton paid to the subject, but now
that the question is raised we hope
that due precantion will be taken.
One Of the principal members of the
Washington Guards assures us there
is no danger where their target is
placed to pedestrians on the main
thoroughfare from the Vivian or Cos
mopolitan mines, as the range OF
Of their bullets will take them at
least fifty feet above the road. Such
is the representation of one who
should know, therefore we say shoot
ahead, let the consequences be what
they may.

TO THE TAHOEITES.

In the early evening cleaning.
While around the town I'm roaming.
'Nesth the rays Of bright moonlight,
Oft tsee beauteous sight.
Men and maidens sit together,
Wives and husbands. but the tether
Docs not always hold them fast
But let us not the first stone cast
For only those who are without sin
Have cen the right TO look within
The several precincts of this life,
Nor. even then, keep up the strife.
Far better cast friendly veil
Over all faults; twill not avail
To bring to light all sins committed.
Or speak of those sometimes omitted.
With no intent to moralize,
Or write Of woe, or tears and signs.
Did begin my work but then
I find mine an unruly pen,
And, almost ere know the change,
Ny thoughts have flown quite out Of range
merely meant to write line
To absent ones--all friends OF mine
sojourning now on Lake Tahoe
Where all the favored mortals go
And tell them that their future life.
If all the stories now so rife
Are true, will be most sorrowful,
Unless they hurry back and Gull
The sweets that once they csll'd their own.
Ere they have taken wings and flown
To others well--not half 30 true
As am sure they have found you.
Now, Harry, come home right away;
"ris dangerous 20 don't delay.
Tell Lester, too, to hurry back.
For Charlie. now. 10 on the track;
Improves the time, both day and night.
And, really, now, think he's right
And, though he may not surely win,
IT'S time, my friends, you were coming in.

ANOTHER BLASTED MANA min
er, named Timothy Quinn, was
pretty badly injured by blast in
the Consolidated Virginia between
six and seven o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. He was within about twenty
feet of the blast when it exploded
His principal injuries are about his
head and face, on which are several
ugly cuts and bruises. The end Of
his nose looks as if he had been in
terviewed by an afiectionate snap
ping turtle, while his right arm and
left shoulder are wonderfully short
of the suit furnished by nature. DR..
McMeans, who attended HIM, says
that although. pretty badly cut up,
he will be around before many days.

MRS. VIRDEN's INJURIES. - We
are pleased to learn by letter re-
ceived from Mr.Virden to- day that his
estimable wife is not so extensively
scalded as we were yesterday led to
believe. The accident occurred, as
stated in yesterdays issue, with the
exception that it was through rot
ten grating over the boiling water,
that she fell. She fortunately had
presence of mind to throw out her
arms and catch the floor in her de-
scent. Her injuries, although very
severe, are only from the hips down,
and her recovery is, therefore, only
matter of time. The negligence of
the proprietor in allowing the place
to remain in such miserable repair
cannot be too strongly condemned.
His only excuse is that he probably
did not know how fast timber ex-
posed to the constant action of steam
would decay.-G. II. Neacs.
His CONDITIoN.-Wm. Henderson,
who was blown up in the Belcher
mine few days ago is still alive, but
the chances for his recovery are
growing less every day. His body
having been riddled with small
pieces of rock, he is covered with
innumeral,le sores. and IL is feared by
his attending physicians that his
blood is poisoned by the virus. He
was delirious last night. Yesterday
another piece of rock half an inch
square, was taken out of one of his
legs. He must have powerful con-
stitution to survive such terrible inju-
ries for even day." News"

Establishment Of Law Library In Los
angeles.

EDITOR HERALD: We have some
eighty.six lawyers in the respective
cities and towns of Los Angeles coun-
ty, the great majority of whom reside
in this city. By the different convey
ances leading to this city we think it
is fair to average the monthly arri-
walls at not less than fifteen hundred
souls. 1t is quite reasonable to esti-
mate the arrival of one attorney per
week, four each month, or fiity-two
per annum. So rapidly are the peo-
pie of the frigid States of the East
making their way TO the eternal
spring time of that magnificent GEN.
ter between Santa Barbara and San
Diego that it is putting the people of
Los Angeles to their very trumps To
provide homes and farms ut reason
able rates to fill the demand.
a few years ago Kansas City was a
mere camp. Soon it graduated into
t,Oenfy thousand, aud the attorneys
then went to work to establish law
library. To-day Kansas CITY boasts
her forty thousand inhabitants, and it
shows one of the finest law libraries
in the Great West. 1t has made itself
so prominent In this respect that the
Government has established District
and Circuit +. deral Court in that
city. But il must be first understood
that the attorneys of that city boldly
went tn work to establish magniti-
cent library, That being done, they
petitioned Congress to fix two Federal
courts in their midst. The request
was granted.
We understand that there is petit
ton vigorously circulated through the
respective counties of the Southern
portion of the State soliciting the next
Congress to establish District Court
in this city. We think it Is little
premature, and hope that our citizens,
especially attorneys, will reconsider
the matter-and the same suggestion
rs presented to our neighbors Of the
adjoining counties-and delay action
In this matterand turn their attention
tn first building up II respectable law
library In this city. That being done,
then with great force and plausbility
we can solicit the government with an
assurance that the want will be sup.
Piled. OF course it is evident that Los
Angeles will, as it is now, be the
grand center of one-half of the great
State of California. We think that is
universally conceded. We present
these views not only to our brethren
of the bar, but to our business friends
ut large, not alone in the city and
count y of Los Angeles, hut of the adj
jacent counties, who certainly would
form Il part of the Southern Federal
Judicial District.

The virginians Still Alive.


VIRGINIA CITY, October 2Sth.-The
Evening Chronicle furnishes the fol-
lowing report:
Virginia feels in better spirit to-
day. The ruined walls, smoking
heaps of debris, piles Of gnarled iron
and small mountains of broken brick
are becoming familiar to the eye, and
the man who yesterday had to stop
and scratch his head ere he could pick
out street from among the ruined
waste, trots about to-day with an air
of familiarity and increased cheerful
ness. Everybody seems to make 1t a
point of honor to be as cheerful as pos
sible. Virginia has evidently large
share of the Mark Tapley spirit, and
it is determined to come out strong
under adverse circumstances. The
amount of jollity developed by the
thousands of men who have lost their
all Is astounding. The universally of
the destruction of property without
doubt doubt makes 1t easier to bear.

The above item appeared in the

never have been thought of by us
again had we not found it doing duty
as a text for column editorial in n
late number of the Santa Monica Out

wrathily indignant and Indignantly
wrathy over that innocent paragraph
and proceeds to manufacture of it an
insinuation that the present owner
ship of & he Los Angeles ami Indepen-
dence Railroad is liable to change
hands sometime within the next five
hundred years. Really We intended
no such insinuation. We are ty no
means ignorant of the fact that the
present ownership and management
of that invaluable piece of railroad is
as immutable as the universal and as
Interchangeable as the laws of he Medes
and Persians. We know that money
is all powerful, but we also know that
it will not purchase thing that is
not to be sold. We agree with the
Outlook that the Los Angeles and In
dependence Railroad cannot change
hands. On the subject of the great
value of the road we agree once more
with our sprightly though we fear a
little over sensitive seaside cotempo-
rary. If we had not foreseen the bene-
fetal results which the road would
work for Los Angeles Valley we
should not so long, so persistently and
so tirelessly advocated its con-
struction. The credit of II aving sug-
