A Runaway Girl.

a young man visited Captain
Benefits office this morning and
stated that his mother had adopted
a young girl from a woman named
Dunbar; that his sister had given
the girl three new dresses and that
after she had been well fed for a
week, she skipped" He wanted
the officer to find her and compel

Patch Work for Royalty.

An amusing episode occurred the
other day in connection with the
royal wedding. The Duke of York
went with the Princess May to
open a new town hall which has
just been erected at Richmond
Just before the royal party drove
up very old woman, laden with
an enormous parcel, pushed her
way to the front, and refused to
pay any attention to the protests
of either crowd or police. When
threatened with superior force"
however, she admitted that heI
object was to present her wedding
gift to the royal couple. On in.
quiry, this proved to be gigantic
patch work quilt of worsted stock,
ing for the Duke of York. The old
lady had made them, and was de-
termined to present them herself
1t was, however, represented tC
her that this was an unsuitable
occasion, and she retired with the
intention of taking them to White
Lodge.

THEY WERE FOX HUNTING.
Two Couples Tear Through the
Streets and Enjoy Themselves.

Two Couples Tear Through the
Streets and Enjoy Themselves.
Thursday night two hacks with
two couples, one in each hack, raced
up avenue ID, down Eight street
and thence down Ninth street at a
break-neck speed. The names of
the couples could, of course, not be
learned; also was it an utter i'm
possibility to ascertain the names
Of the "cabbies" or the numbers of
the hacks.
a reporter for the LIGHT made
inquiry to number of local hack
men relative to the matter, and
was told that "they must have
been two pairs Of lovers out fox
hunting, as is generally custom
airy with young people who move
in society circles. They hire hacks
and go out at night and tear the
town open when no one sees them"
said the informant. "Oh, we hack
drivers know more of society
scrapes than people imagine"

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Mexican Well Digger Expires
While at Work.

VINE dI "OEh.
John ID. Supple, the we'll known
real estate agent, who is now re-
siding at his ranch, five miles
south Of this city, on the Corpus
Christi road, informed a LIGHT re-
porter this morning of a horrible
death, which occurred at his ranch
yesterday afternoon, the unfortu-
nate victim being Romano Diaz.
Mr.. Supple employed Diaz and
several other MeXicans to dig q well
ON his place. near his dwelling.
The men worked diligently until
the we'll had been dug sixty feet
in depth, when a good flow OF
water was struck. There were
several large rocks in the bottom
'Of The opening which had to be
Slasted. Yesterday afternoon ar
fangements were completed for
blasting, and the work was, as the
men supposed, completed. Diaz,
thinking the explosion had taken
place, waited a few minutes and
was then lowered to the bottom.
When called he did not an
.swer and when the smoke
from the explosion, has passed
away, the fellow workmen were
amazed at seeing Diaz lying APP
parently dead in the bottom of the
well. They lowered bucket, ex-
pecting him to grab it and be
raised to the top, but he did not.
Two men were lowered and Diaz
was found to be cold in death. The
men then went to the top and with
hooks drew the body to the surface.
Judge Cavanaugh was summoned
and held an inquest, after which
the body was removed to the home
of the deceased, where it was pre-
pared for burial.
Mr.. Supple states that Diaz was a
good, hard working man, and that
he stands high in the estimation OF
all who knew him. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn
his sad departure.

Nevada Appreciated.

aCallfornians, especially editors
OF her newspapers, should remember
the steady silver stream that scaled
heeastern and descended the western
slope of the Sierras from 1860 until
silver was seized by the Sherman
grip twenty years ago. They should
remember the monumental business
bl ocks, the palatial mansions, the
miles of railroads, which have been
built by the silver bricks sent hither
by our sister, Nevada, who. because
she cannot keep that silver stream
at fiood-tide is now maligned and
derided as unworthy of recognition
among the sisterhood of States. We
should not forget that during al the
years of prosperity consequent upon
the ruling par value and abundant
production of silver she was a boon
to California, giving singularly
remunerative employment to Golden
State capital and labor. And all
this continued almost without inter
mission, until characterization shut
down her mines and mills, barred
capital, and sent miners into other
and less remuncrative avenues of
industry-mostly out of the State
in which to earn their bread and
clothing, We must also reflect that
Nevadas silver mines are not dead,
but sleeping; that as soon as silver
shall be restored to its former and
well deserved place of honor. along
side gold, those mines will again
nobly respond to the drill, the blast,
the car and the mill, and California
will receive the millions from lack OF

A Finish At Last.

About sixteen years ago the few
settlers then at Big Pine began to
build a canal for irrigation purposes.
The people were poor and the work
went on slowly, nothing at all being
done sometimes during intervals of q
year or two. When the Croker Broth
ers bought the McMurray property
a few years ago and went to live at
Big Pine, they put new life into the
project. During the winter now
ended the work was pushed vigor-
ouslv, and now nothing but a few
finishing touches remains to complete
what for the originators was a great
undertaking. The canal will cover
at least twenty five thousand acres
of as fine land as any in the valley.
1t is intended by the people of Big
Pine to celebrate the formal opening
of the canal soon with a grand jolli-
fication to which all the people in the
county will be welcome, [Independ-

Pneumonia.

At no time in the history of the country
has pneumonia been so prevalent as during
the winter months of the last two years.
In times past common cold was not con-
sidered at all serious, but of late years the
great tendency of colds to result in pneu-
monia has made people apprehensive. The
trouble is that colds are not always prop
erly treated. No preparation containing
opium. wild cherry or chloroform should
be used, as they have a tendency to dry up
a cold. whereas it should be loosened and
the lungs relieved. 1t has been observed
that when Chamberlains Cough Remedy
is used the cold never results in pneu-
monia. The reason is that this remedy
| stimulates the mucous membrane which
| lines the throat and lungs, to healthy
action. causes a free eXpeetoration, throw
| ing off the poisonous matter and coun'
teracts any tendency toward pneumonia
