SUICIDE OR HOMICIDE?

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.---There Is
great excitement in jackson, Amador
county, over the death of Judge Moore,
Superior Judge OF that county. He was
found dead two days ago, when it was
thought to be case Of suicide. Fur
Their investigation, however, indicates |
that he was murdered. Medical experts |
say that he could not possibly have shot |
himself, as the ball entered just behind |
the left ear and made its exit on the
right side of the forehead. No powder
marks are visible where the ball entered
showing that he must have been shot at
distance of several feet. A black spot
! in the center of the forehead is believed
! to have been caused by blow from
club, which fractured the skull. Theory
| is that the victim was first stunned by
! the blow in the forehead and that after
ward. his own pistol was taken from his
! pocket, with which the assassin complet-
ed his work. When found his hands
were stretched out full length by his
side and the pistol was found under his
body, a position utterly inconsistent
with the theory of suicide.

Help.

The editor of the Larned Chrome
scope, (herself girl comes to the de,
Tense of the oppressed house help. The
editor says:
Good hired girls can hardly be secur-
ed for less than a dollar day now and
a good girl in the average family Of
five or six persons is worth that. Its
all nonsense, this thing of paying men
and half grown boys from one to three
dollars day for work from sun to sun,
and woman a paltry thirty or forty
cents day, for work that never is done.
From two and three hours after hired
man has finished his chores and is lolling
on the grass, or loafing on a store box,
or snoring in sleep, the faithful plod-
ding woman is washing dirty dishes,
planning for mornings breakfast, tend
ing to the milking, putting tired chill
dern to rest, and at last worn out with
her burden she goes to bed too tired to
sleep and rises in the morning heavy
eyed and languid to do half a days work
before the hired men can make start
at their work. This equalization of Ia
Dor pay is a vexed question which is
slowly and surely working out its own
solution. When women does man S
work as we'll as a man, and demand a
mans wages for it, they are tolerably
sure to be paid accordingly. Times
are changing.

Sheep InSpectOr.

At the meeting of the board of coin.
ty commissioners this week Mr.. Hor.
ance l. Benton was appointed sheep
inspector for this county. This Office
was created by an act of the Legislature
approved March 9th, 1883. The In
spectors duty is to compel owners of
scabby sheep to dip the animals. Should
the owner fail to do so in a certain
length of time, the inspector can have
it done and charge the cost to him.
This is move in the right direction
and will do much toward eradicating
this disease from the country. Parties
driving diseased sheep through the
country had better steer clear of Hodge
man county. -Jetmore Reveille.

The following letter is sent us from
Speareville and gives advice to young
girls and boarding house keepers.
In the first place you should be very
particular in keeping your house in a
perfect clean condition; your kitchen
should always be kept clear from all
rubbish, such as old boxes, buckets,
even chairs should not be allowed in the
room where the cooking is done. You
should remember that when you Keep
seats in where you are to work some
one is coming in more or less and if
they find chair or box they are apt
to sit down whether wanted or not. Now
I will say there is no woman or cook
that knows her business wants any man
lettering his time where she is cooking
over hot stove. No, not one. The
man of the house has no business sitting
in the kitchen when his wife is over a
hot stove cooking, have often seen ser
ious trouble with man and his wife by
his giving orders what to do. Keep
husband and boraders out from the room
where you do the cooking, if you don
want to burn up your bread aud pies
If your boarders hang around when
you are cooking they will find more OF
less fault, but look out they will not
find fault in your presence; your neigh,
bors will soon get to hear it: you wo-
men can't enjoy your supper after
standing over hot stove all day, it is
SO with your boarders when they stand
gaping at your cooking; they say that is
not good it smells bad. have been
cooking for 40 years and I always done
what 1 have said to you, the boarders
should not be allowd where you are
cooking. Some of them may get mad
when you tell them to get out OF your
way, but any gentleman won't get mad
You had better not have one board.

on. Young ladids, shun them and
take care of yourselves. Those dudes
will try to make love to you; but say tc
them go and make love with some 9th

to all; but try and keep your boarders
out from where you are preparing

From all accounts, the Bull fight nov
city at Dodge on the 4th was not much
of an affair. But lest this brutal and
barbarous amusement may again be at
tempted, it will be well for the next
legislature to pass a law forbidding
such things. At its best it is but poor
amusement and as presented at Dodge
there was just enough Of failure added
to vulgar brutality to render the scenes
odious to all civilized countries. Let
Kansas forbid any more such abomina-
tions.-Great Bend Tribune.
