ance to the community. People have
their own views as to the possibility OF

bers of the committee consider 1T the
duty of those who have the commun-
ity's interests at heart to be present
and see for themselves just what the
wells can do.
A great deal of time and some money
has been expended in preparing for
these tests, and it is desired that as
many persons as can do SO shall visit
the wells and witness the pumping.
The pumps are but a few minutes

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
A Little Boys Play Causes Serious
Results.

The three-year-old daughter of Will
lam Bryan, who lives about four miles
south of Hangtown Crossing, was shot
accidentally by her little brother, few
years older, yesterday afternoon at his
residence
The weapon was a 32-caliber revolver
belonging to Mr.. Bryan. which was
kept in an inner drawer of his desk,
and was supposed not to be loaded, but
proved to have one cartridge left in it.
In some way the little fellow got hold
of it. Just how it happened, no one
knows, as the children were in the room
alone. The parents heard the shot, and
the baby walked out of the room cry
ing. When it was found that she had
been shot Mr.. Bryan Immediately
brought her to town, where she was
attended by DR.. Dixon. He found that
the ball had entered near the middle Of
the breast, passing within half an inch
of the heart and through the right lung,
coming out of the side and lodging in
the arm. The child was resting easily
last night, and the physician thought
she would come out all right. 81

Welfare Of the State.

(From the Dixon Tribune)
If Governor Gage has been waiting
for Congress solution of the Quay in
cident he may as we'll call the extra
session, for it is now morally certain
that the would-be Senator from the
Keystone State will not sit in the Sen
ate. There are too many questions of
Importance to the State to allow this
session of Congress to go down in his
tory with California minus full repre-
sentation. The fact that the Republi-
cans in the last Legislature failed to
elect a United States Senator is more
of reflection on the party than would
be the extra session, provided a Sena-
tor is selected, and it is time that the
party's politicians step aside to the well
fare of the States interests at large.

charged with numbering John Hennes-

morning, and his preliminary examina-

Defendants attorney asked that bail
be fixed, arguing that according to the
evidence at the Coroner's inquest, the
charge at most could be no more than
manslaughter.
City Attorney De Ligne agreed that
the case was one which would warrant
the release of the defendant on a good
and sufficient bond. Justice Ander-

LAFAYETTE Hall.

There are several things for which
Lafayette Hall, conducted at 316 Is
street by Marsh & Horenlein, enjoys a
reputation. The place Is conducted on
lines of liberality and fairness, and sell
dom or never has complaint been
heard of unjust treatment. Then, it is
noted for the quality and rightness of
its steam and lager beers. Nowhere is
a better glass of beer to be found. The
beer at the Lafayette is not good to-
day, fair tonight and bad tomorrow,
but always just as it ought to be. The
convenience and accommodation of la
boring men and men of slender means
is considered in the institution of
white labor cigars, free pool and free

THE sTENBERG SHOOTING.
Justice Anderson Not Yet Deter
mined ON What He Will Do.

City Justice Anderson has not yet
decided whether or not he will hold Mrs.
Lizzie Stenberg to answer before the
Superior Court on the charge of as
saulting her husband, F. 0. Stenberg,
with intent to commit murder. The
preliminary examination was conducted
on Friday last, and Justice Anderson
took Judgment under advisement until
yesterday morning
When the case was called yesterday
morning Judge Anderson said his du-
ties as magistrate were circumscribed,
and that little or no discretion was al
lowed him. He had no right to indulge
in a speculation as towhat jury might
or might not do. AS the case stood
the injured party declines to prose-
cute, and the only positive evidence
of the shooting was from the mouth
of the defendant herself, made at a
time when she was hysterical and emo
tional-in a condition which would APP
peal to a jury. Such statements might
be excluded on proper objections before
a court He was satisfied that no jury
would convict on the evidence adduced.
While the prosecution was insistent, it
left the court little room in which to
exercise individual judgment. He de-
sired to hear from the District At
torney.
Assistant District Attorney Wach-
horst, who was present, said that if
the defendant were held to answer,
with no further evidence than that
given at the preliminary examination,
he would feel obliged to ask the court
for an order discharging her He had
read the newspaper reports of the case,
and while there was no question in his
mind respecting the guilt of defendant,
he felt that a conviction could not be
had. He did not, however, want to be
considered as asking for her discharge.
Justice Anderson said that he was not
satisfied what course to pursue, and
ended by further postponing judgment
until Tuesday next.

circuit last season. They are marvels,
however, for agility-'whirlwind the
program styles them, not inappropri-
ately. Considered from the standpoint
of a minstrel show, the company is far
above the average, and its brass band
is another feature. Selections from II

sic conception hasceased to be orthodox" 'For the
orthodox Judaism is national law. Whoever admits
that Judaism is not law is reformer." The def
milton is excellent far it goes, but where are
those Jews who admit legalsm but deny it's national
character? We wade into still deeper waters. Gu
dasm is religion, but it is more. fit be only re-

MUST PAY EMPLoYEs WHEN DISCHARGED SAYS CHIEF
 JUSTICE FULLER.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION
The Chief Justice sustains an Im- portant Arkansas Statute The
 Result of | Suit.

Washington; March 8.-Chief Jus tice Fuller rendered an opinion sus- taining tbe validity Of the State law of Arkansas requiring railroad com pauies operating in the State to pay employees when discharged and fix ing 8 penalty for failure. The law allows the amount of wages for six ty days as such penalty. In the present case Charles Paul, a dis charged latorer on the St. Louis. Iron Mountain x Southerl railway brought shit for $2l, part of winch was on account Of penalty earned under the law. The railrond com pany resisted the suit ia tEe state courts and in this court on the ground that the law provided for taking property without due pro- cess of law, and was therefore re- pu2nant to the constitution. The supreme court of the state declined to accept this view of the case and held the law to be valid. Chief Jus tiee Fuller sustained the court. He said lhe state law applied to all alike and that therefore the equal protection of the law was not de- nied.
