DAWSON's COOKING CLUB.
Its Organization suggests Some InfeFestin
Thoughts to Editress Cook.

Its Organization suggeRts some Interesting
Thoughts to Editress Cook.
Mrs. Zula Cook, the charming editress
of the Miller County Liberal, in noting
the organization of cooking club by
the young ladies of Dawson, INDUCES in
these interesting reflections:
"The young ladies of Dawson recently
organized literary and cooking society.
This latter feature savors of tune spent
in practical way and we were about
to exclaim that if more women would
learn the art of cooking divorce pro-
ceedings would be as scarce IS tallow
candles. But wheh women become OK
perts in the culinary art they some
times have an aversion to going TO
the showroom, and then oftentimes
the husband has never been a
member of the society which taught
men the practical lesson of appreciation
and a dinner carefully cooked is de-
youred without once thinking OF OF
thanking her who has provided so con-
siderately for him whom she so gladly
esteems. Until duty and appreciation
unite there will be divorce cases."

TERRELL'S PENSIONERS.
There Are Fifty of Them, and They
Draw 1866 Annually.

From Ordinary Roberts The NEWS
has learned some interesting facts con.
corning the pensioners of Terrell county.
There are in the county fifty pensioners,
who draw the sum of $2,965. OF this
plumber % are widows, who receive ST.
$50; seven are on the invalid list and draw
1885, and twenty draw $1,000 as indi-
gents. This number has lately been in
creased by one, Judge Roberts having
received from the pension commissioner
information that the application of Mr..
Perry Kitchens for pension had been
approved. This claim, with others OF
like class. will be paid in 1900 If the APP
preparation made by the present general
assembly so warrants. Judge Roberts
has also received advIces from the COM
missioner that the applications of Messrs.
Ii. A. Mcfarland, Larken johnson, D.
N. Bush, N. Fl. Goodson, JAS. Virgins
and a. II. Bell have been disapproved
for the lack of sufficient proof on various
lines. If these applicants can furnish
the requisite proof their applications
will yet be approved.

JOHNSON WORKED HIS
CARTOON BILL THROUGH

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2S.-The Johnson-W Works
cartoon bill failed of reconsideration
this morning when 1t came up before
the Assembly pursuant to the notice
given yesterday by Cowan of Santa
Rosa. The vote stood Al to II against
It. and, as on yesterday, when it came
up on it's final passage, it was the
push" that Grove Johnson has gath
cred round him by threats of legisla-
tive retaliation that did the work.
From the day the bill first made its
appearance, Johnson has given all of
his time to this unique scheme he has
hatched to satisfy his own petty spite
He has assiduously worked every one
on the floor who is willing to be seen
talking to him, and by virtue of the
influence he swings as chairman of the
Judiciary Committee he has succeeded
in gathering enough of a following to
accomplish his personal ends. john
son, however, has not stopped at using
his influence as chairman of the Judi
cfary Committee. He has come openly
out on the floor and traded votes with
other members who have bills on the
file they want passed. When he has
not been able to trade he has threat
ened. He approached Cowan or Santa
Rosa and told him that If he did not
vote With him he need not hope to get
the bills passed that he now has be-
fore the House He told the same thing
to Mcdonald of Alameda and to Rad
cliff of Santa Cruz, and he, or his fol-
lowers, have made the same threat to
other members on the floor.
When the bill came uD this morning
it found no lack of opponents All it
lacked was votes. Melick, Cosper and
Burnett of the investigating commit
tee. who have been cartooned and carl
catured to the limit during the past
few days, all spoke openly and at length
against it. Cowan of Santa Rosa
opened the fight with one of his char

brain of his own. followed him. Owen

more generously than any other man

ing to form his judgment as to what
he would do.
If Wright does not resign, as he has
bv some people been advised to do, the
disposition the Assembly is to make of
the report of the investigating COM
mittee will certainly cause debate
that is liable to be bitter and long.
If Mr.. Wright passes over his resig-
nation and explanation before the
House acts or has a chance to act, then
the report of the committee will simply
be adopted and the committee dis
charged. But if Wright fails to retire
as Speaker, then Mr.. Melick of Los An
geles, a member of the investigating
committee, will, at the proper time in
the discussion of the report, offer a
resolution deposing Wright from the
Speakership. Mr.. Melick will not do
this if any other man of courage can
be found who is willing to perform the
duty. The members of the committee
propose to stand by their report to a
man and defend it on the floor. Cosper
is a fair talker and so is Sanford and
other members.
Should Wright wait for the resolution
of deposition to be offered before he
resigns it is understood that the Grant
men, unless they change their plans be-
tween now and Monday morning, will
ask to be excused from voting on the
resolution on the ground that Daniel
NJ Burns and his supporters made
Wright Speaker and that therefore
upon the coloneIs shoulders should rest
the responsibility of his either continu-
Eoo OrHp iUO
the chair.
But the Grant men cannot avoid this
responsibility. They can be compelled
to vote, unless consent is given for
them to take a neutral stand. The
Grant men will, so it is claimed, have
as their leaders on the floor during the
contest over the report of the commit
tee Radcliff of Santa Cruz, Mcdonald
of Alameda and Works of San Diego.
They expect to do some talking, and
it is quite evident that the Grant men
will stand together in whatever they
do.
The Bulla men are all now quite en-
thusiastic in favor of supporting the
committee. but the Burns men, under
the direction of their foxy leaders, are
adroitly working some scheme. If
they attempt to uphold Wright it will
interfere materially with plan which
they have on hand to break the dead
lock. That plan is to have Republican
committees throughout the various
counties of the State pass resolution
asking their representatives in the Leg
islature to consent to participate in and
be bound by a Republican legislative
caucus. That means, of course, Burns
election. But if by the vote of the
Burns contingent Wright is continued
In the Speakers chair after he has been
found guilty by the committee of in

held personally responsible by the in
dignant army of Republican voters
throughout the State, who look upon
Wright as having disgraced the honor
able position he holds. If Burns saves
Wright these voters will not, be willing
to further any scheme whereby the
said Dan will land in the Senate of the
United States as a representative of
California. If Burns sustains Wright
II will mean the positive defeat of the
caucus resolution in nearly every
county in the State except those that
have already indorsed Burns.

To Fix Plumas County Line.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2S.-Judge Clough. who

permanent fixture on the map. AS it is

country to it's objective point. AS a re-
suit, the ranchers along the line are pay

provisions. This being the case, the
State should pay all the charges and

decided to have the bill, with all
amendments, passed and proposed and

penSation for service rendered.
Senators Dickinson, Burnett and Smith
opposed the amendment and Senator Da-
Wis favored it.
Finally Senator Stratton withdrew his
motion to amend the joint rules and they
were adopted.
After they had been adopted Senator
Shortrdge said that it was all folly to
talk about paying attorneys 81 per day
just as sheepherders and prune growers.
The Senator added that he contemplated
entering the profession himself and he did
not propose to stand idly by and see its
members poorly paid.
The understanding is that the attor-
