We we're shocked to learn last week
of the misfortune that hefel John An
derson. of the California Democrat.
About 4 O'Clock on the morning of
the Sth his residence caught fire and,
together with its contents, was en-
tirely consumed. The family did
not save even their clothing. A fine
piano and other valuables went up in
smoke. The loss falls heavily upon
John, and we regret that we cannot
offer him more than II sympathy.
Since the above was put in type,
a private letter from John informs us
that the house was not insured. The
insurance agent by mistake wrote the
policy on the Democrat office instead
of the dwelling house.-Clarksville
Sentinel.
John Anderson has our sympathy.
He is a hard working, deserving young
man with a family. He is a brother
of Billie Anderson of this city.

Button. Button. Who's Got the Button ?
On the Jefferson City train yester-
day. q very well known joker from
Mexico was walking through a car
when he suddenly stopped down and
picked ap something.
"Who's lost a half lollar?'' said he.
At once a dozen persons in the car
were searching their pockets, and one
ill-favored man responded that half a
dollar was missing from his pocket
and held out bis hand.
"Was it dated 1902 said the
Mexico man.
YES, I'm pretty sure it WAS
"And nicked on one side"'
Eyes. that's mine.'
"You are sure!"
Certainly 1 am, so hand it over"
He handed it over, and when the
man looked at the button which had
been put into his hand, his face
heightened so suddenly it almost
drove his head through his hat.
Another Proof.
Another proof that Shakespeare was
level-headed when he asked, "What's
in a name?' was furnished a day OR
two ago when a lightning struck indi-
vidual entered u Office and asked:
sis Q. K. Jones in?"
mo, SIR was the reply.

That we have diligently enquired
into all infractions of the criminal
laws of the State that have been
brought to our notice, and are pleas

your Honor such an improved con-
dition in the moral status of the
country as is indicated by the few
indictments found or bills presented
by us, and they in the main of mi
nor Importance, and are confident
that the small catalogue of infrac-
tions of the law presented by us is
due in great measure to the prompt
and impartial manner in which your
Honor, aided as you have been by
ableand efficient subordinates, meet
ed out even-handed iustice-which
has proved a terror to evil doors.
We are bound to report the public
roads in a condition that leaves
room for much Improvement, but we
think their present condition is due
in a great measure to the want of
positive and enforced code of road
laws, and in this connection we
would call special attention to the
present condition of the bridge over

to Benton-one Of the most public
thoroughfares of our parish-which
we find in dilapidated condition,
and very unsafe.
