Emerald Grove is situated in the
midst OF one of the largest prairies in
the State. 1t was so named by the
men who surveyed Rock county.-
Then they celebrated the Fourth OF
July and named it Emerald Grove-a
green spot. 1t contained some three
hundred acres of good timber with
springs OF water. The village that
takes it's name IS in sight OF GAINESVILLE.
1t has two churches with stores and
shops to accommodate the farming
community.
The people of Emerald Grove were
startled last week by the report that
a man by the name of Joseph Luke
had committed suicide. He came to
this village three years ago from Mil.
waukee, an Incorporate man. By
profession he was a shoe maker. He
joined the Good Templars and for .
time reformed, but his appetite got
the mastery, and he returned to his
cup. He then joined the Temple OF
Honor in GAINESVILLE, where he made
friends by his temperance talks; but
again he fell and was suspended. -

was dead. He had seven commissions.
Between those terrible commissions he
was rational and told his friends the
sad story of his fall, and that he had
taken poison. He has left wife and

In all cases where injury to, or inn

worthy lady declined with thanks,
saying that Mr.. Butler was always
a gentleman, but that she could

Swearing Off.

The other day an ex-professor of
the "manly art" who had been
imblbing pretty freely for day or
two, concluded that matters had
gone far enough and that he would
"swear off" for year. With this
intent he hied him to the Episco.
pal residence near the Plaza and
asked to see one of the reverend
fathers. One of the fathers soon
appeared and the ex-pugilist made
known his errand.
"Well, my good man." said the
father, "kneel down and say the
Lords prayer"
"Do what, father?" said the pro.
fessor, aghast. II haven't been on
my knees, unless knocked there in
the way of business, since I was a
child and / don't think I know a
word of the Lords prayer. Give
me something easy.n
After explaining matters so that
he thought the wou d.be teetotaler
uuuCiotOou WHab Wus Itquiicu vi
him, the father said: "Put yourself
in position.n
At this magic word the ex-pugil-
ist. his brain still confused by the
fumes of whisky, squared himself
after the most approved p. r.
fashion and stood ready for assault
or defense. The father, somewhat
daunttd by his warlike attitude,
hastened to explain that he did not
wish TO have bout at flsticuffs
with him, but meant by "posi-
tionn that he should kneel down.
The explanation being satisfac-
tory, the professor knelt down
and made firm resolution to alb
stain from intoxicating liquors
during the next calendar year.

Wns. A. Spalding, Acting Manage,
and Editor Los angeles Evening
Express, City,
DEAR SIR: The usual kind notice
of this company appearing in the
columns of your paper of the 23d
instant, duly read and appreciated.
In order to afford yourself and
DIR. Dunno, the latter being the
gentleman who inquired the rate
upon broom corn from Fresno to
Los Angeles, and presumably the
fount from which you draw your
inspiration, an opportunity to air
your general or technical knowl-
edge OF the question as to whether
$38 per ton weight is or is not an
exorbitant rate, l would ask you
and the worthy Doctor, have you
now, or had you at the time your
criticism was written, any idea as
to the amount of space occupied by
1000 pounds of broom corn, and
did the Doctor think to ask you to
state that at the same interview he
was offered q rate of $l25 per car
load of broom corn from Fresno TO
Los Angeles"
| All fair-minded men understand,
appreciate, and will acknowledge
the Justice of the position assumed
by transportation companies, to-
wit: that space Is necessarily one
of the most important factors that
enter into the construction of a
freight tariff. The usual carrying
capacity of a car is ten tons weight
of ordinary merchandise. DIR.
Dunno was rendered the use of this
ten tons weight capacity for $125
or at the rate of $l2 so per ton.
| In fixing the tariff upon broom
corn from Fresno to Los Angeles ii
seems now that there must have
been two principles especially con-
sidered. First, that one ton, 1900
pounds, broom corn, in proportion
to the space it occupies, is nearly
as light as is one column of Los
angeles Ecening Express editorial
upon the subject of railway dis
criminalion.
The second principle is that to
which you so rigidly adhere in the
conduct of your newspaper enter.

proportiopately for single square

J. A. MARTINS REPLY TO SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT MCDONALD.
EDITOR Fl HERALD: Owing to your
limited space | shall be as brief as
possible in this my reply to Mr..
Mcdonald. / shall waive all an
swer to his egotistical emarks con-
cerning his popularity all the way
from Elizabeth Lake TO San Juan
Capistrano. 1t is the language OF
demagogue and 1t is very evident
that he ia perfectly haunted with
the idea that I have placed him
upon trial with the Democratic
party as the jury, and particularly
the forthcoming nominating Con-
vention. In this he Is mistaken, as
[ appeal to the entire people of this
county, to whom he is responsible
for his gross derelictions of duty.
But to the facts: l charge Mr..
Mcdonald with exercising his au-
thority in behalf of a religious
prejudice against a lady who hap.
pened to be a Catholic. That he
raised the grade of the school from
second to first in order that Mrs.
Martin might be thrown out of the
situation which she had secured
from the Trustees and a majority
of the patrons. He says he found
none willing to employ her. Mr..
Mcdonald only visited those who
had agitated the religious question,
except Mr.. M. d. Beall, who was
heartily in favor of Mrs. Martin.
But, to be brief, the following
copies of certificates, the originals
of which are now in my possession,
will speak for themselves:
This is to certify that w. p. Nc
Donald, School Superintendent,
stated to me that the Duarte school
was second grade and that Mrs.
Martin was entirely competent to
teach it. He further stated that
certain individual tried to induce
him to raise the grade, but he
would not do it. The objection
raised by those who opposed Mrs.
Martin was that she was a Catho.
lie and 1 think Mr.. Mcdonald was
influenced in his action of raising
the grade of the school entirely by
this party. A. VAN TAssEL.
am further authorized to state
by Mr.. James Banning, School
Trustee of Duarte School District,
that, in a personal interview which
he had with the Superintendent,
Mr.. Mcdonald stated to him that
Mrs. Martin was entirely compe-
tent to take charge of the school
and urged Mr.. Banning to engage
her as teacher Of said school. But
the following certificate may shed
further light on the change which
came so suddenly over the spirit of
the Superintendents dream:
Thisis to certify that 1, DIR. G. p.
Cunningham, as Trustee, in cou-
junctson with q. J. Cunningham,
also Trustee, engaged j. A. Martin
to teach the San Dimas school the
eth of June, 1879 A few days sub
sequently, while sad Martin was
teaching, w. p. Mcdonald, School
Superintendent, came to my resi-.
dence and tiled to induce me to
favor the employment of his
brother instead uf the said teacher,
Martin. G. p. CUNNINGHAM.

We here see one of the causes
perhaps the prime cause-of raising
the grade of the Duarte school.
Failing to impress DR.. Cunning
ham that it would be right to sup.
plant J. A. Martin in the the inter-
est of his brother, he took advan-
tage of the religious prejudice of a
minority of the school district and
raised tue grade of the school in the
interest of those who opposed Mrs.
Martin solely on the ground that
she was II Catholic, and at the same
time wreak his vengeance upon
myself for having the audacity to
teach q school which he had set
apart for his brother.
