The editor of the Modesto Jour
nal has finally been compelled by
a stress of circumstances to leave
Modesto. He began a paper some
years ago and being novice in
journalism thought that the best
way to make his paper sought after
was to BLACKBOARD everybody right
and left. He heaped all manner of
abuse upon citizens Of every class
and rank and finally became such a
common scold that no one paid any
attention to him. His perpetual
bark attracted no attention. When
he first began his journalistic labor
he wrote with pair of six-shooters
lying on his table expecting some
one every hour of the day. Years
passed and still no one called for
retraction, no body got mad, and no
one read his paper. The citizens
probably thought him crazy.

Business colleges in the East are
teaching their pupils to write with
either hand. This is a most sensi-
BILE move. The left hand can be
trained to equal nicely with the
right for almost any purpose, and
the advantages of ambidexterity
are 80 great and obvious that they
need no illustration. It is strange
that man has for ages been using
the right hand only for many pur-
poses which can just as well be ac-
complished with the left. Ambi-
dexterity is within the reach Of
every one, It 10 only . matter Of
practice and perseverance. Any
one can learn, in comparatively
short time, to write well with the
left hand. President Garfield
could write well with either hand.
He had practiced two-handedness
from boyhood.

The Lyon County Times has al
ready scented the combination by
which Jewett Adams expects to 60
to the United States Senate. Speak
ing Of Hook Mason it says: \.
when Hook Mason's name was
mentioned at the Austin Conven-
ton as one of the alternate electors,
Major Garrard knew it was not safe
to take any chances on Mason
should the state by q scratch turn
Democratic. Major Garrard knew as
we'll IS does the Times that Hook
Masonis not resident of this state,
and the Democrats cannot afford
to take any such chances. Nor
was Mason eligible as a delegate to
the State Convention; but he was
there and for what? Keep track OF
the Major and you will see. He
said Mason would 60 from Lyon
county to the State Senate. They
are willing to chance the Senator
ship in the interest of Adams and
other things which will not be
now mentioned. Everybody knows
that Hook Mason has not claimed
to be q resident of this State, and
he will not deny this. His family
lives in San Francisco, he voted in
San Francisco last year, and has
not voted here for a dozen years
past: he was not in the State on the
4th IF May last, but was at his
home in San Francisco. In order
for him to acquire a residence in
this State-to entitle him to vote
and hold office-he must be in the
State six months prior to the day
of election. Mr.. Mason was not
here, and no one claims that he
was. in time to become a resident
by next election. He passed
through the county from California
en- route to his cattle ranch in Ma
son Valley, on the 18th day Of May.
The attempt of Major Garrard to
force Mr.. Mason, of San Fran
cisco or any other nonresident
upon the people of Lyon county
foa State Senator, will not ram;
it is too thin altogether. But the
Governor must be served, and no
one knows better how to do this
than his private Secretary. We
now hazard the opinion that Mr..
Mason will not 60 to Carson this
Winter, as Senator from this county
at any rate, as asserted by the willy
Major. At the proper time, should
the Governors Office interfere with
the affairs of Lyon county, to the
detriment of the peoples interests,
daylight will be let into the little
political scheme that is being con-
corfad

CAPTURED IN A CHURCH.
Tho Negro Kugg Taken Nearly Dead from
Exposure.

The negro Rugg, charged with the mur.
der of the Maybees and the assault on the
Spragues and Townsends, who escaped
from the Long Island CITY Jail ON Sunday,
was captured Wednesday morning. The
searching party spent the night about
Hyatt's woods, near which the fugitive was
seen in the night. The party about the
woods at night was increased, by one at
a time, until two score persons had ar
rived. Jailer Murphy, Sheriff Furman
and few of their helpers left the spot at
8 o'clock Wednesday morning, and just
about that,time two coaches drove up TO
tho spot and the policemen got out, siI
patrolmeu and four sergeants. After two
hours rest the sheriff and dozen dcpu'
tics went to Winfield again and recon.
menced their hunting.
The region about Winfield, as daylight
approached resembled place under state
OF siege. Men in uniform could be seen at
every corner, who sharply scrutinizsd
every passer-by, and groups of two and
three patrolled the roads. In the woods
the sheriff and his deputies adopted the
plan used in beating woods for game,
every square inch being examined. AS the
morning wore away the region round
about the woods became more thronged
and the roads leading to them were lined
with pedestrians for two miles distance.
In the woods could be heard the baying OF
hounds. After thoroughly going the
ground it was concluded that Rugg had
escaped. A woman's dress, thought to
have been worn by him, was found in a
corn field near by. The party separated
