PLACER NOT IN IT.
That County Not Pleased With the Citrus
Fair Premiums.

That County Not Pleased With the Citrus
Fair Premiums.
According to the Placer Herald, that
county is not likely to be extensively rep
resented at the Citrus Fair to be held at
Marysville. The editor of that paper has
talked several growers of citrus fruits
on the subject but has no. found any yet
who expressed an intention of making an
exhibit. The opinion seems to prevail that
the premium list is gotten up with a view
to give an advantage to the locality where
the fair is held. For instance, it is stated
that the first prize is for the best display of
1900 or more navel oranges. This neces-
sarily involves good deal of transporta-
ton, or as Mr.Wilson, an extensive grower,
says, they want a man to ship half his
crop over there
Mr.. Silva, another large grower, says: "If
they had made the premium for five or
twenty or even one hundred navels, or for
the best display of budded fruit there
would have been sense in it, but who
wants to pack and ship 1000 oranges there
of any variety, and go to the trouble and
expense of displaying them just for the
chance of getting premium It's too
much for penny"
Placer never had better fruit than it is
shipping. right now, and with the proper
incentive could make most magnificent
display of citrus fruits.

Fell Into an Old Well,

The Folsom Telegraph states that Charles
+. Lind, who lives near D. Blowers quar-
ries, came near losing his life on Thursday
night. 1t seems that he started home
about 10 o'clock, and as the night was very
dark and foggy be got off the street and
started to cross the vacant lots opposite the
New Western Hotel. He had gone but a
short distance when he walked into an old
well about twenty feet deep, and could not
get out again.
Lind remained there about two hours,
when his cries attracted the attention of
some parties who were passing, and who
went to his assistance and fished him out.
Lind was badly shaken up, but no bones
were broken. 1t was also fortunate for
him that the well was not as full as it was
last year at this time.

That Big Strike.

The strike in the Harmony gravel mine
is the mes. important mining discovery
that has been made in this section during
the last quarter of century, says the Ne.
vada City Transcript.
As work progresses in the mine its rich
ness continues to be brought to light, and
is proving far more extensive than the
most sanguine had any reason to believe.
The owners are somewhat reticent about
the matter, but it is reported that the clean
up from the gravel washed during the past
few days exceeded their expectations.

construct a telephone line to that place.
Mr.. Curran, a representative of the com.
pany. was there last week soliciting SUBJ

from San Francisco to Woodbridge, will
be extended to Gait
1t is the purpose of the company to con-
tinue the line to Sacramento, connecting at

be established from this point to New
Hope. Walnut Grove and all points on the
Sacramento river as far north as Sacra-
mento. Another line from Gait to lone

The Sulphur Remedy for the Dire ad Dis

The Sulphur Remedy for the Dread Dis
ease, Diphtheria.
One of the worst scourges to which
children are subject in all parts of the
world is diphtheria; and whenever it ap-
pears the services of physician should be
secured without delay. But it frequently
happens that child is attacked by diph-
liberia at time when it is not possible to
call in physician, or the disease may not
have been discovered in its earlier stage,
and in such case delay of several hours
may prove fatal.
Whatever remedy can be applied, there
fore, to check it pending the arrival of the
family doctor, should be resorted to. The
application of sulphur to the throat is
claimed to be very effective, and many 60
90 far as to insist that generally it accom-
plishes the desired result. At all events,

An Historical Cutter.

Dave Crosby has purchased the old sleigh
of the Bonanza Company. The cutter has
probably carried more wealth in its time
than any runnered vehicle in the world.
1t conveyed in the winter season all Of the
bullion in the palmy days from the mills
of the company TO the assay office, and
from thence to the place of shipment. 1t
has been in active service as bullion car
rier for upwards of twenty years. The
precious metal it has transported, if coined
into money, would carpet with currency a
ten acre lot, with residue sufficient to
purchase half dozen seats in the United

AN ACTORS ADVENTURE.

How the Doyen Of the C0medie Tral-
caise Saved His Lie.
NJ. Got, the doyen of the Comedie
Franchise, has given to the public some
interesting and amusing anecdotes of his
life as an actor. In, 1894 he will have
completed his fifty years of service in
the house of Moliere. At the expira-
tion of that period he intends to leave
the stage altogether and pass the re-
mainder of his days in the quiet village
of Boulainvilliers, where he has lived
for considerable time. M. Got has all
the appearance of rural cure-white
hair and clean-shaven face. This eccle-
siastical aspect nearly cost him his life
once. 1t was during the commune. He
was living in London, whittier the mem-
bers of the Comedie Franchise had fed
for safety, but found it necessary to so
to Paris for 9 day or two to arrange
some private affairs This done, he was
about to leave the French. capital
again, when he fell into the hands
OF the Communists. "Who are you?''
they demanded. II am Got, the doyen
Of the Comedie Franchise, and am
going to London" "Yo9 Got? 60 along
with you! We know you very we'll. You
are the cure Of Sainte Marie Of Batig-
nolles.'' Got denied the impeachment
energetically, and pointed out that he
had no tonsure, but all to: no purpose.
He was marched off with others to &
cellar to await the decision Of court

And He Thought Right.

There'is story told of Chinese Cor
don, one of the most striking which
centers in his romantic personality.
While rs was in China there was some
mutin3 in the army over bad rations or
stopped pay. It was Gordon's duty to
crush that mutiny and this is how he
did it. He had the men drawn up and
went and stood few PAGES in front of
them. At his elbow were half dozen
trusty fellows with loaded rifles. "Now,"
he said, ''you must have some leaders;
let them stand out and I'll speak to
them" There was moments pause.
"Come, fall outv' said Gordon again, in
q cool, everyday voice, as if he was
ordering dinner. The men looked at
one another, and stirred in their places
as his keen eye ran along the ranks
Then two men stepped forward. Cor
don quietly gave q signal to his half
doz en- men with loaded rifles, and the
next moment the two ringleaders were
shot dead. So ended the mutiny. "But
I always think" Gordon used to say,
meditatively, after telling the story, Il
always think murdered those men. -
