The party given by the Knights Templar
at the Opera House Tuesday night was q
decidedly pleasant affair. There were
about 100 persons present, and there were
from so couple and upward on the floor in
all the dances. but the first two or three.
The programme was to start the music at
8 o'clock and stop it at IL o'clock sharp;
but the dancers were so slow in coming
that the first dance was not called until
$3.50 o'clock. "Home, Sweet Home" was
nevertheless played at midnight. The
hours named are the best, most wholesome
and altogether the most rational, and they
are generally adopted by the social dance
clubs in the cities. Four hours are
enough, and there is nothing but
affectation and a weakness for sensa-
ton, as a rule, that keep party.goers
from attending promptly as early as 5
o'clock. At II there has been enough
dancing, and those who dance till then
and quit to go to bed will be in condition
for the work OF the following day. The
knights Templar are to be commended
upon the valuable suggestion they have
made to our society people on good hours
for dancing. Their entertainment was as
pleasant as q party could be. 1t was init
mated that if this party proved q success
the Knights would probably repeat 1t nee
a month during the season. II they do so,
they will contribute largely to the social
pleasures of Eureka, which we are bound
to admit are not over numerous ct the
present time.

DEATH.
Old Man Charles Geary Found
Dead on n Pinto Road.

Old Man Charles Geary Found
Dead on the Pinto Road.
The news was brought to town yester-
day morning that a man was lying dead on
the road between the two bridges this side
of Pinto, but nothing further could be
ascertsined until last night, when the body
was brought in and identified as that Of
Charles Geary. The deceased has been
keeping the boarding house out at Secret
Canyon, and had spent New Years day in
Eureka. He came in horseback, and start
ed back about 8 O'Clock in the evening.
| He had been advised by several persons to
remain in town until morning, for it was
bitterly cold, and they told him if he went
out he would be liable to freeze. He as
sured his friends he must 60, and that as
his horse was perfectly gentle he had
no fear Of not getting through all
right. Some three miles out Of
| stage. He was afoot, and asked the way
to Secret. The driver told him he had
| taken the wrong road, and after directing
him how to find his way drove on. 1t
appears from this that Geary must have
| fallen or have been thrown from his horse
and have then taken to walking. That he
fell il indicated by bruises on the face and
wrist Of the corpse. The news OF the un-
| fortunate death will be a great shock to
| the many friends of the deceased in Eureka
and in other parts Of the State and coast.
He was o quiet, inoffensive, cheerful and
| worthy man, whom everybody liked and
| respected, and whose untimely end causes
deep regret in the entire community. He
was an old pioneer, having came to Cali
| fornia as early as 1853. He removed from
| Austin to White Pine. When he ar
rived in Hamilton he was compare
lively a rich man, having not less
than $50, 900 in cash; but as many others
like him, he sunk everything there and
continued pretty nearly "broke" ever
afterwards. He leaves some mining prop
erty in White Pine District, however,
which looks go well that the old man was
happy over the prospect, thinking he saw
his way up in the world again. The de-
ceased leaves five children. His elder
daughter is the wife Of Martin Marion Of
Eureka. Mrs. Geary and the other four
children, a daughter IS years old and
three sons, the eldest of whom is
about II years Of age, are living
in Oakland. The news will be a
terrible shock to them as it was to Mrs.
Marion last night. Mrs. Geary's father.
Philip Bell, is a very wealthy resident of
San Francisco, and her brother of Oakland,
Mr.. Metzger, is also a very wealthy man.
The brother Of the deceased, Lawrence
Geary, owns a valuable ranch about six
miles out of Martinez. Mr.. Marion will
telegraph this morning to Mrs. Geary to
inquire what disposition shall be made of
the corpse. 1t is likely that the relatives
Of the deceased will direct him to ship the
remains below for burial.

Miners Views.

J. Z. Stevens, formerly foreman of the
Chollar mine, writes as follows from the
new northern p~lacers: l have been in the
camp five days. We have now four feet
OF snow, and the weather is extremely
cold. Mining operations are suspended
for the Winter. | think this is going to
be o good camp. The placers are very
extensive, and there are some good quartz
claims. OF course there can be no further
prospecting done until the snow goes off,
when this will undoubtedly become one OF
the l~iyeliest camps in the country. 1t is
believed that 20, 900 people will come here
in the Spring. About $50 men will Winter
here. Provisions and all kinds of sup
plies are scarce and costly. 1t is difficult
to get in here now, but will be much more
80 in the Spring, when the rush begins.

Three Men Get E.ost in the Noun.
tafns.
Last Monday night about s O'Clock four
men, Mike Regan, G. Loofbourrow, Il.
Lawler and Jack Moran, left Palisade on
foot for Stafford, south Of which they pro-
posed to locate some abandoned mining
claims. They got lost in the mountains
beyond Stafford about midnight, to which
place they returned about $50 in the
morning, after wandering about lost for
five hours. They had started for Palisade
by q short cut, and becoming bewildered
they oonld not think where they
were. Before they knew it they were
back in Camp again at Stafford.
They then got into Shields cabin and
found that three of them had their feet
frozen, the three whose names are men
toned first. They staid In the cabin I'M
til moor when they came down to Ger
aid or q sled, reaching Palissde Tuesday
evening. The three men say if it had
not been for Moran they would have
persisted. While they were lost in
the mountains Loofbourrow lay down
to sleep, and dreaming that he was
at home in Palisade would have
died, frozen to death, had Moran not
made him get up and stir around. One of
the others w his life to Moran for SINH
lar service. The patients came up last
night on the train and were taken at once
to the hospital, where DR.. Williams
dressed their wounds. Loofbourrow will
probably lose the half of his right foot.
Lawler will probably lose some OF his
toes; and Regan, the doctor thinks, will be
able to get out in a week or ten days.
Dave Baum, son Of E. M. Baum, was also
one of the party. His feet were severely
frozen. He remains with his parents at
Palisade, to be cared for there.

Staxe Robbery.

The stage that runs between the town o.
Bishop Greek and the station on the

last Saturday evening. About half a mile
from the town two masked robbers, one
armed with q shotgun, halted the coach
and demanded and got Wells, Fargo q
Co.'s box, containing S640 or $3.50. Two
passengers who were in tho coach were not
disturbed. This ~forbearance on the part
of the robbers was so much appreciated by
the passengers that they refrained from
hostile demonstrations.

Why is it-You should be particularly care
full to clean up the system and purify the bloodin
the spring, before the approach of warm wealth
er. Because the hearty consumption Of food
and the indoor life of the winter months result
in q large amount of food being taken into the
stomach, q portion of which has not been di-
gested The accumulation of refuse matter
forms into decaying mass which poisons the
system and stagnates the blood.
Whatto do.-Remove this deposit, cleanse the
system, and purify the blood of all foul impreg-
nations. By doing SO you remove the cause of
nine tenths of spring complaints and diseases;
you avoid malaria, billiousness, boils, blotches,
yellow skin, etc Root out the lingering germs
of disease and prepare the system to success
fully repel the complaints peculiar to hot
weather.
When you want to accomplish this thorough
ly and with the least expense, Burdock Blood
Bitters is the medicine A purely vegetable
preparation. It searches ont and carries on all
impurities from the body, purifies the blood,
cures indigestion, dyspepsia, kidney and liver
complaints. 1t is not q violent purgative, nor
sickening decoction, but . medicine that IL
pleasant to take, will doyou good and demand
your indorsing Burdock Blood Bitters as the
greatest discovery in medicine. Sold by al
