A FisH here Dy the Nnuonl OounclIol and Reception.
 The national councillor of the Daugh- ters of Liberty, J. H. Focht, was pleasantly entertained Saturday even- ing by the members of the several. diff ferent councils of the city at the of- flee of the national secretary, w. o. Staples, 7S7 Chapel street.
 MT. Staples introduced the national councillor who responded in his usual charming manner.
 During the evening Rober R. Rus- sell, in behalf of the different lodges, presented Brother Focht with a very handsome souvenir spoon.

A Word for the Editor.

1 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER There's a pleasant old proterb that

 rectly wonder at the favor. But if

 Favorltism in editing is nonsense. If the story is a good one, whether it's bimetallism or cats, you may be sure
 the editor is as glad to get 1t as you are
 to give it to him, but he must be the judge If he pronounces it "unavail- able" quite the politest way of putting 1t, why, then it's comfort to reraem- Der that the editor after all is only a man. Try another editor; luckily for some of us, they don't all think alike.
 But it's just this way with him. Some one must decide. There must be one head. A newspaper can no more be edited by a committee than a ship can be steered by universal suffrage. If this head finds too many good stories

 There's only one story for you, one poem, but bless you, it's hundreds of stories and hundreds of poems. for the editors. Every time you are sending off your fat envelopes there are ninety nine others doing the same thing, and all but nine enclose little explanatory note.
 There are so many reasons why par ticular article should be accepted, So many reasons aside from it's possible merit, that 1t is perhaps as well the editor does not get them all first hand.
 The editor, as I have said is but a man, and if papa is laid up with lumba- go and brother Arthur obliged to work instead of study, if the COW must go for taxes or the piano for rent he might be let heart act for head. If it were not for the man in, between, the man who does the wedding, he might accept these articles, not because they were good, but because of the COW or the piano or papa's lumbago.

Mrs. Mitchell for perjury in swearing to
the complaint, but the matter was finally
allowed to rest.
Rupert on the other hand says that as
friend of Demarris, he was merely trying
to clear him. He says he was authorized
to see j. w. Dempsey, one of the principal
witnesses against Demarris. and was to
spend 5000 if necessary in getting him out
of the country. Rupert says Dempsey
would swear that he saw Demarris coming
out of Mrs. Mitchell's room with sack Of
coin. Demarris and his attorney finally
concluded that Dempsey was a myth.
The case against Demarris was heard be-
fore Justice of the Peace Austin, and after
the prosecution rested the matter was
continued to Monday.
The cross-examination of Mrs. Mitchell
was very severe, and was intended to show
that she had planned to blackmail Demar-

was allowed to go on his own recognizance,
and the examination was set for Monday.
Knott said this afternoon that he had
plenty of evidence to prove that both Ru-

jury and attempts to backmail. Rupert
is widely known here, where his family
has been prominent for many years. The
case has created intense interest.

FRESNO, CAL, July 21.-George Ru-
pert was arrested yesterday for alleged
threats to kill William B. Knott. Knott
makes sensational charges against Rupert,
and it is on this account the latter is said
to have made the threats.
The case is the outcome Of charge of
grand larceny brought week ago against
Thomas Demarris, widely known lumber
man, who owns mill in the mountains in
the eastern part of the county. Demarris
was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Kate
Mitchell, a lodging housekeeper, who
charged him with having entered her room
and stolen $221 so. The first complaint
was dismissed on motion of the District
Attorney, because of the insufficiency of
the evidence Soon after Mrs. Mitchell
swore to another complaint, and Demarris
was again arrested.
Demarris asserted that he had been ar
rested because he refused to paw a certain
sum of money demanded by Rupert, whom
he accused of being in league with Mrs.
Mitchell. He says that Rupert went to
him and offered to have the charge with
drawn upon the payment of $1,000 and the
transfer of ten horses, wagon and some
harness. Demarris says he refused to give
what was demanded and that Rupert fin
ally offered to take $500 cash. This also
was refused. Rupert was to have been

PORK PACKING AT FRESNO
A Proposed New Industry
Receiving Enthusiastic
Support.
Business Men Intend to Have
the Plant In Operation Before
the Season Ends.

FRESNO, CAL, July 21.-Within twenty
four hours. a plan to organize pork-pack-
ing company has been formed, and it is
now being enthusiastically followed up.
Leading business men have subscribed for
stock and the money will be ready when
needed. 1t is the intention of the pro-
jectors to raise the full amount required
for building packing-house and putting
in plant in time to begin work this year.
A large number of hogs are raised in this
county, where all the conditions are favor
able. Heretofore they have been shipped
several hundred miles, and the cured meat
has been shipped back. Eastern packers
have looked over the field here, and have
pronounced it good one. Alfalfa grows
abundantly,. and corn can be raised
cheaply. Raisin and fruit men are looking
around for new enterprises in which to
invest, and if market for hogs is opened
the farmers will raise a greater number of
them. This would relieve the raisin mar
ket, as many vineyards would be aban-

MEN APPEASEO
Obstacles in the Way OF the
Corral Hollow Franchise
Removed.
Satisfactory Adjustment Of Three
Features That Met With Deter
mined Opposition.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 21.-Representa-
tives of the Corral Hollow road and the
City Councilmen went to the water front
yesterday to listen to objections which some
of the owners of business property had to
offer against the locations desired for the
tracks near the flourmills. None of the
directors of the railway company were
present, but they were represented by A.
L. Levinsky, their local attorney; George
Anterior, the chief engineer of the road,
and Hiram Barber, the local agent. The
men who made the objections were j. M.
Welsh, George Gray, Frank Lane and
John T. Doyle. The latter two acted
seemingly in behalf of sperry & Co.
The Corral Hollow people wish to run a
line up Weber avenue, from Edison street
to Madison, the eastern terminus of the
Valley railways track on Weber avenue.
The Valley road viii run along the north
side of the Southern Pacific track and not
enough room will be left north of the latter
track for the Corral Hollow road, which
will have to be built on the south side of
the Southern Pacific's line. To reach the
steamboat shed, therefore, it will be neces-
sary for the Corral Hollow road to cross
the Southern Pacific and Valley roads
after passing the Union Flourmill.
Three objections were raised. The first
was against allowing the Corral Hollow
road to go as far up as Madison street
after crossing the two other tracks there,
for 1t would be interposed between the
Valley road and the wharf. This obiec-
tion was urged mainly by Messrs. Lane
and Gray.
1t was obviated by an agreement to stop
100 feet from Madison street, thus allow
ing the Valley road that much clear space
at its eastern terminus. The Corral Hol-
low road would still have twenty eight
feet along the steamboat shed, SO both par
ties were satisfied.
The second objection was against the
road crossing the Southern Pacific and
Valley tracks at the Union Mill, Mr.. Doyle
saying that it would interfere with team
ing at that point. His attention was
called to the fact that. it was absolutely
necessary to cross the tracks unless the
Valley road would allow the Corral Hollow
people to use its line on the avenue, or
build closer to the Southern Pacific road.
AS provided for in the Valley road S
franchise, the track is to be laid eighteen
feet north of the Southern Pacific track.
If it were moved five feet closer it would
give the Corral Hollow line room to come
in along the north side of the avenue. Di-

DANGER TO |DAHO'S JAIL.
Thrastened With Destru lotion
by the Work of Placer
Miners.
Difficulty In Establishing Title to
the Land on Which 1t
Stands.

BOISE. IDAHO, July N.-A novel case is
engaging the attention of the District
Court at Idaho City. The county Jail is
threatened with destruction by the work
of placer miners, who have mined away
the dirt on all sides, leaving the Jail on a
knob twenty feet high.
A year ago Joseph Branstetter was en-
Joined from doing mining on ground
claimed to belong to the county, and his
last cleanup, amounting to $1,000, was
seized by the Sheriff.
The county finds difficulty in establish
ing its title. 1t has deed, given in 1854,
describing piece of land 200 feet square,
but the operations of the placer miners
have destroyed all landmarks, and it is i'm
possible to tell where the plat is located.
The only light shed on the subject was the
testimony of former Commissioner, who
said the jail was built in the center of the
lot. The court has the matter under adj
visement.
The Jail is an interesting relic of early
days, being built of hewn logs. in which
PORTFOLIOS may still be seen, that made it
available for a fort if necessary in those
lawless times when Idaho City was the
principal town in the State and the jail
was used as the territorial prison.

Terrible Fate of Fitzgerald,
the WelI-KnoWn Pros
peCtor.
Fell Into a Pit and Despite Gallant
Fight Was CheWed and Clawed
to Death.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, July H.
News of the terrible fate of the well-known
Alaskan prospector named Fitzgerald was
brought down on the Topeka, arriving
this afternoon from Sitka.
He was out on prospecting tour, accom-
panied by two Indian boys, used as
packers, when he fell through deep wind
fall into bear cave, where two cubs were
sleeping.
Fftzgerald's fall scared the cubs, who set
up loud squealing, attracting the female
bear, who at once made vicious attack on
the unfortunate man. Despite his bruises
and bleeding wounds Fitzgerald made a
gallant fight, but without avail, as the
monster chewed and clawed him to death.
The natives who witnessed the terrible
battle made no attempt at rescue, but hur-
ried to Berners Bay with the news. A
party at once started out and found in the
pit only the mangled remains of Fitz-
gerald, upon which the cubs were feasting.

pany asking what inducements the city
can offer for factory. From 100 to $50
skilled men are to be employed, and the
company expects to turn out from 1000 to
5000 wheels during 1896. Business men are
ready to make handsome offer for the
works. With reduced freight rates, it is
believed that this city can offer great in
ducements, one of the greatest of which
will be cheap power from the new electric
company. The company was referred to

1T is MOVED BY GASOLINE.
YOU TOUCH A SMALL BUTTON

The latest and apparently most
practical self-propelling vehicle yet
produced in this country has just
been perfected at Springfield, Mass,
after three years of experimentation.
This improved motor carriage is
daily traversing tine roadways of
Western Massachusetts. The total
weight is 600 pounds. The wheels are
rubber-tir and run on ball bear
ings.
3 The front wheels turn on their own
pivot located in the hub, the axle
being firmly held by the side bars.
The lever in front wholly controls
the carriage. The lateral movement
turns the wheels, the vertical motion
starts and stops the vehicle, changes
its rate of speed and also reverses
its movement, driving it backward
when desired. The lever connections
all have ball joints, which can never
become loose and cause lost motion.
A brake. drum of peculiar construc-
ton is placed under the seat and con-
nected with a thumb button located
at the front corner of the seat. By
pressing the thumb upon this but
ton the carriage, if running at twelve
miles an hour, can be stopped with
in a distance of four feet
The variable speed ranges from
three to sixteen miles an hour, the
normal rate being three, six and ten
miles. To obtain these different rates
. the. motor does not change it's speed.
The increase is made in the gearing,
which is alternately rawhide and iron,
and runs quite still. To obtain a
greater speed than ten miles an hour
