The Company's team took run of its
own accord yesterday morning from the
machine shop, down Main St., and up
Meadow Valley to Joe. Cooks old stable,
where they were stopped. The only
damage was broken king-bolt.
The bills, as allowed by the County
Commissioners at their regular meeting
last Monday, have not been handed in
yet, so we are unable to publish them
this week.
The Clark Bros. of Desert Springs
have contract to furnish the graders on
the railroad extension with beef.
Miss Maggie Clinton left on Tuesday
with Jos. Conway for the Wash where
she will open school again.
Stockmen say that more snow has
fallen on the ranges this winter than any
year since 1884.
At Clover Valley the late rains washed
all the fences away and damaged the
land considerably.
The public schools opened last Mon.
day with good attendance in both de.
partments.
Further particulars of the murder in
Irish Mountain will be found on the
third page.
w. P. Clark, alias "Bear Trap" the
foot.racer, left last Monday for other
parts.
There are express packages at this Of
flee for E. Bailey and D. Togham.
Jos. Conway was up from the Wash
the early part of the week.
The P. G. and Yuba Mg. Co.'S paid off
their employees yesterday.
Phoebe will have its first genuine boom
in 1890.

RAILROAD News. -We learn from Mr..
James Woods of Glover Valley, that be.
tween Clover Valley and Dutch Flat 200
men are now at work grading, and that
l75 Italians are expected there in few
days to work on rock cut. The team.
sters that are camped there have no hay
or grain for ttheir teams. When they
left Milford they loaded their wagons
with as much grain and hay as. their
teams were able to haul, but on account
of the heavy storm and bad roads they
were SO long in getting to Clover Valley,
that when they arrived there they had fed
all the grain and hay they left Milford
with. Half of the teams had to return
to Milford for more hay and grain.
A contract has inlet for twenty-five miles
of road from Culverwell's ranch down
Meadow Valley Wash, work to com.
mence Immediately. This undoubtedly
settles the direction of the main line.
Sunday night the town tank run dry,
the immediate cause being the letting
open of small pipes during the cold nights
to keep them from freezing, the amount
OF water going to waste this way being
more than the flow into. the tank. The
water was shut off all Sunday night and
part OF Monday also Tuesday night, to
let the town tank get full. The shutting
OIL the water caused good many small
pipes to freeze up.
LIBRARY.-Mr. Franks is fixing up
the north portion of the Jacobs & Sui
tan building which is to be used as
library room. He will re- line and calci-
mine the room and will be through the
hrst OF the coming week. The ladies SO
far have done everything to get the Ii.
brary on some sort of footing. Isn't it
about time some of the men folks were
getting move ON themselves.
The "Tin Horn Band" are doing ev.
erything possible for the pleasure and
comfort OF the dancers Monday night.
They have stripped the hall of all the
old evergreens and are replacing them
with new, and otherwise improving the
appearance of the hall. Tickets for the

OuDOsed to False Teeth.

A singular runaway is reported from South Brooklyn, N. Y. A woman named Gildersleeve, who had lived with her husband for over thirty years and had borne him four sons. some of whom have attained manhood, has left her home because, as she states in letter. her husband had not furnished her means to properly clothe herself and had refused to give her the money to have her teeth attended to. She there. fore secured position at $14 month, and with her earnings for 8 year she said that she proposed to: have her teeth properly cared for, and with the balance to buy clothes to last her during life. Then, if her husband would receive her, she intended to return to him, as she loved him. Mir. Gildersleeve has searched in vain for his wife: says he provided literally for her and furnished her horse, but did not approve of her having false teeth.

A Star who Is Fired On for His Acting,
 Is Forced to Explain.
 "We were playing in small town, back in the seventies said a theatrical man to Denver Republican reporter, ''when our leading heavy man had rather tough experience. All the miners were in the theater. We'll, the heavy man had been prosecuting a poor maiden through two acts. In the third act he came to the powerful scene of the play. At last, he said, I have you in my power, and nothing on earth can save you. l, who was the slave, am now the master So saying, he ad- vanced towards his trembling victim.
 'Mercyv she moaned.
 'Mercyr he retorted. You had no mercy for me and will have none for you
 'At this moment gruff voice was heard from the gallery: You blamed varmint, I'll settle with you.' There was crack of a pistol and a bullet whizzed near the heavy man. Plug the son of a gun, boys continued the voice, and a shower of bullets saluted the stage villain. He didn't stop long, but fled from the stage.
 ''ln the wing he met the stage man. ager, who was white with anger.
 You have broken up the scene,' he said.
 "sWell?
 "'Go back to the stage, sir, and wait for your exit
 t'I guess not
 ~'I tell you I won't have a man in my company who is so easily disconcerted Go on with the scene, or you leave the company tomorrow
 That was serious. To be stranded in that forsaken town vas calculated to make the heavy man appreciative. "'Pll go back he said.
 9"He tore of his wig just before going on, and, stepping down to the footlights with an injured expression of coun- tenance, he said:
 "'Ladies and gentlemen (there were no ladies there, but that didn't matter), with your kind permission will resume the scene. Before doing so, however, want to call your attention to the fact that the young lady and myself are merely acting parts. In reality we are the best of friends. bear you no ill will for your display of heroic chivalry. l trust, however, that you will curb your generous sentiments, for if you should hit me the play would be interrupted. If any of the gentlemen will meet me after the show at McCarty's they will find out am not bad fellow
 Loud cheers greeted this speech and the play was resumed"

NERVE DEVELOPMENT.
s3aby's Body Is a Machine Capable of Ad- vantageous Application.


 Only recently have we known any thing about what was going on under the baby's skin, writes correspondent of Nightingale. Only within the last few years has the science of p@diatrics arisen. Formerly the baby was dosed just like his elder, and if he lived well and good; if not, the will of the Lord be done! The fact that reactions to dis ease and to drugs in the young organism vary from those of the same disease in the adult had received no recognition. Even the sick baby was not understood and much less the well one. Science has now, however, awakened to the fact that the baby is not completely devel- oped when it is born. Dr. Brown calls our attention to the fact that the new born baby is blind, and not only blind but deaf. We know that the baby is born with aimless motions and that true intention is rather late development. Yet the baby has very perfect little muscles. The little hand is complete, i every muscle is there with it's glistening tendon. it's blood vessels and nerves, ready for use. The failure does not ap- parently lie in the hand itself. It is rather 70 be accounted for by the fact that many at least of these nerves have no continuation beyond the spinal cord. Hence,. while they can serve for reflex motions they lack any complete connection with the brain. What now happens is the shooting down from the part of the brain dele gated for the control of these muscles of transparent thread-like fiber, or bun dies of fibers, to join or at least to com municate with these nerves which have terminated in the cord. Even with the completion of the tract, however, the line is not open for communication. It is still in the condition of an uninsulated telegraph wire. Impulses will be de- fected all along the line. This is the condition of much of the nervous sys- tenn of the child at birth. It is almost but not quite, ready for use. Gradually the transparent nerve strands now be- come white by the addition of a fatty material called myeline, which forms a protecting sheath when the nerve is | steady for conduction.
 It is curious fact that this develop | ment waits for the stimulus of need. Not until the light strikes the retina of the eye do we have completion of the sight mechanism. The same is true of sound. touch and muscular control. It is probably true that as adults we have not the mechanism for actions which we have never tried. There is hence truth in the complaint ''l can't do this or that" There is also, however, truth in in the rejoinder You can if you try With the intention new tracts develop or the old mechanism becomes endowed with new powers

The nomination of Mr.. Crook for
high school trustee and Mr.. Zwanzig
for school director Thursday night will
create criticism. Neither nomination
was, perhaps, judlcious. Mr.. Crook
has served South Ottawa as supervisor
three years, and while his accounts
have been faultless, and he has made
a very fair record as member of the
board, he has not exhibited any special
talent for that kind Of responsibility.
And for high school trustee 1t would
seem that a man with children in the
school, or a man Of more mature
years, and very much more knowledge
of and experience in educational work
and the needs Of the high school
ought to have been selected, though no
one was named in opposition to him
In the convention. Mr.. Zwanzig is
abundantly qualified by education
and, perhaps, experience as a tutor,
to make an acceptable member of the
school board. The only fault to be
found with him is his well known
high temper and predisposition for ar
irving at hasty conclusions, which at
times render his Judgment unreliable.
His personal relations, also, with well
known members Of the Chicago body

1t has been in the air for several
weeks that Congressman Payson, of
the Livingston district in this state,
is stirring up rebellion against GER
tain features Of the Mckinley tariff
bill in the house, but the impression
has been that his main objection was
to the continuance of the tax on sugar.
which, like tea and coffee, he wants to
come in free. 1t seems, however, that
his objection goes much further, and
that he is backed by some fifteen other
Republican members, who are pledged
to stand by him. What these "rebels"
want appears from report in the
Washington correspondence of Tues
days Chicago Herald, of an interview
between Payson and Boss Mckinley,
who went for the former with ham
mer and tongs. According to this
correspondent, "Payson condemned
McKinley's bill as an evasion Of the
Republican pledge to revise and reduce
the tariff, and said that for him revi
sion meant honest reduction and not
an attempt to hoOdwink thepeOple into
believing that an increase of taxation
and consequent diminutiOn Of impor-
tatons was tax reform. Payson filed
notice that he would not 60 into eau
Gus on the tariff bill and that unless
the committe saw fit to make substan-
tial concessions to the low tariff Re-
publicans he would move in the house
to put sugar and tin plate on the free
list and reduce the tax on lumber and
wool and several other articles. 1t is
said PaysOn denounced the proposed
tin plate duty as robbery, and pointed
out that in the Forty-sixth Congress
Judge Kelley had made an appeal for
tin plate protection and predicted that
the levying of such taritf would make
the heavens black with the smoke of
tin plate mills. The FOrty-seventh
Congress gave Kelley all he asked for,
and yet no tin plate has been manu-
featured in this country. Judge Pay
son added that doubling the cost of
the tin cans from which millions of
people eat oysters, vegetables, and
fruit might build up few Carnegies
at Pittsburg who would give million
dollars to found a library, but he
would prefer to have the millions dis
tributed among the people of the
whole country"
1t is added that Speaker Reed next
sent for Payson and tried to dragon
him into subsection, but with as little
success, and the only report he was
able to make to the ways and means
committee was that "Payson is rails
ing hi" With the consciousness
that back of Payson stand enough Re-
publicans to hold the balance of power
in the house the committee are seized
with something like a genuine panic.

for any prejudice against the Jews, SO
far as his observation extends. DIR.
Howard Crosby regards them as peO-
PIE of remarkable virtue and thinks
their domestic life is model TO
copy. The presidents Of four prom
inent colleges, who have had long
experience in educating young men,
speak In the highest terms OF the
Jewish students that have been un-
der their instruction. They are not
only attentive to their studies, but
moral, aud obedent to all require
ments.
1t is of course difficult to destroy
entirely a prejudice of such long
standing and wide extent as that
which has prevailed against the Jews:
but no country is SO well situated for its
total eradication a. the United States.
Perfect religious freedom and parity
Of al denominations before the law
at once dissipate every cause for pre-
judice against the Jew on the ground
of his religion, for, by common agree
ment, his religion must hold good as
any other. Then it becomes narrowed
down to the simple inquiry, is the
character Of the jew personally such
as to Justify prejudice against him as
a man, outside of his religion? Evi-
IDENTITY there is no ground for preju-
dice against him on that score. In
business, in education, in the arts and
sciences, in every department that
pertains to the culture and refine
ments of the highest civilization, the
Jew is found the equal Of the best
Caucasian, who, with all his Wanting,
can boast no superior to Disraeli,
Montefore, Spinoza or Mendelssohn.

their own particular side, the general
fact Is undisguisable that the current
rms largely In favor Of the Democrats.
This is conspicuously the case in In
diana, from which the returns have
been gathered with so much care and
completeness, thata reliable estimate
can be made Of the general outcome.
There are about 1000 townships in
the state and from full returns from
900 of these the following results are
obtained:
OF the 800 townships the Democrats
carried 5lS at Mondays election and
the Republicans, 3S2. Two years ago
the parties were nearly evenly divided
in the number of trustees elected, but
the returns so far in show gain of
1876 for the Democrats, and 1t Is be-
lieyed that 1t will reach $50. The
trustee yields considerable power in
the township, and the victory possesses
a significance far greater than the sim
pie gain in numbers indicates. The
aggregate vote will fall short Of a
state campaign year, but it is believed
that it will show that the Democrats
have carried the state by from $1,000
to 1900 majority.
The Indiana Republicans at Wash
ington are so worked up over the re-
suit that they are said to have tele-
graphed to Chairman Kitchener, of
the Republican State Committee, to
know whether the result is really due
to disgust with Harrison, but Niche
ner's reply is so evasive as to give
them no comfort; it is admitted, how
ever, that it has greatly weakened
confidence in Michner's management.
