W.. H.. BENNINGTON IN TROUBLE.
Accused OF Importing Japanese
Laboreys Into rhfs Country.

w. III. Remington, who for many years
was a prominent citizen Of Eureka, but
who now has the contract for supplying
the Northern Pacific and Oregon Short
Line Railway Companies with jap
anese laborers, with headquarters at
Tacoma, Wash, is accused of frsudu-
lently importing Japs into this country,
the penalty for which offense is a fine Of
81 1000 for each person thus imported. j. +.
Bishop. Mr.. Remington's former confiden-
tial clerk, who was serving a sentence in
the State Prison for having embezzled
g, 500 from his employer, has been released
by the Governor, and it is said his testimony
in the present case will send Remington to
the ~penitentiary.
Mr.. Remington refuses to state his posi-
ton, but the Seattle Times gives the result
of a brief interview with him as follows:
Mr.. Remington, when seen at his Office
last night, was visibly disturbed by the
report that Bishop had been pardoned be-
cause Of a confession he had made involv-
ing certain parties in the matter Of import
ing japanese contract labor. This is a
pretty mess, was his first greeting. Here
I am, one of the busiest men in The State,
working night and day on large contracts
and investing thousands of dollars in min
ing property, and to be accused Of a crime
by a man like Bishop is an insult"

EUREKA's CELEBRATION,
The Perfected Arrangements In
sure its sueeess

-
sure Its Success.
Yes; Eureka will celebrate the Fourth
OF July, and realizing that in the CLOSING
year Of the century something more thar
an ordinary observance Of the day i.
called for. the citizens Of this place have
contributed to the celebration fund more
literally than the most optomistic advo-
cate OF the enterprise had hoped for.
The result will be seen by referring to
the programme. which appears on the
second page Of this Issue Of the SENTINEL.
From early morning until late ct night
attraction will follow attraction, and so
varied and numerous will be the feat
ures that there will be no opportunity
Tor . dull moment, but all will be thor
oughly entertained, and that, too, in the
manner most suitable to their several
i~nclinations.
The different committees having the
celebration in charge are enthusiastic in
the preparations for the numerous attrac
tions, and they have the united support
Of the people Of the town. The entire
amount subscribed has been collected
and is now 10 the hands Of the treasurer.
b. L. Smith, which is an assurance that
ell premiums will be paid in full, and
that there will be no scaling down OF
attractions caused by q scarcity Of funds.
From the moment the sun peeps above
the mountain top until the last tired
dancer at the Rescue Hose Company
ball cries Enough" there will be pleas
ure and enjoyment for everybody. and
all should make it . point to be on the
ground early with . determination to
stay 10 the end. =.
1t may be thought by some that 8
o'clock is . rather early hour for the
parade. but the Programme Committee
found it absolutely necessary to begin
thus early in order to crowd oil the at.
fractions into one long day.
1t will be seen. by referring to the
programme. that some changes have
been made from the outline Of last week.
Owing to the fact that Judge Fitzgerald
has found he will be detained at Aus-
tin over the Fourth and that it will
be impossible for him TO be here, Peter
Breeb. Esq. was selected as the orator
OF the day. and TO fill the vacancy thus
created, Mrs. II. A. Knight kindly con-
sented to read the Declaration of indie.
p~endence.
The committee found, after carefully
considering the several attractions, that it
was impossible to find time for the ball
game, and that feature was reluctantly
omitted.
The display Of frework in the evening
will be q magnificent sight. The COM
mittee has made q careful selection OF
some OF the very latest productions in
this line, and il can be safely promised
that the result will be highly creditable
to their discernment. The exhibition will
occupy . full hour, and during that time
the sky will be sblaze with the dazzling
pyrotechnic display.
Eureka extends to the people Of neigh
boring towns 8 cordial invitation TO come
and partake Of her hospitality, and
promises each and all g genuine good
time.

Investigated by: u commission from
the University of Pennsylvania. this
smithy was found. Its owner piled
his trade at least 4,15O years before
Tubal Cain, who was the father OF ore
and forge work. according to the BIZ
BILE. and with more skill and knowi-
edge Of the arts than the. latter. Won
derfully preserved machines and tools
were found with the smithy; also a
collection Of clay tablets found In the
shops covered with cuneif0rm writ
ing, revealing information respecting
the age, development and scope Of the
business and other data:
The business was FOUNDED by Ham
jau. and was carried ON through
thirty-twO generations Of the family.
Each owner not only studied the prac-
tical part Of his business. but was
versed in mathematics. drawing and
physical phenomena and the laws OF
nature, which latter be studied to
bring the business to perfection. One
Of the slates bore the admonition not
Ito use zinc OF other metals in. the
manufacture Of cooking, utensils and
water vessels. because by law OF ma
ture not understood the stronger met
al. copper. has. a disturbing effect on
the weaker metals. We know now
that this phenomenon Is the galvanic
current produced at the points Of con-
tact between the copper and the zinc
or other electrically opposed metals.
and that 1t is this electrical current
that accelerates oxidation at the points
of contact. Hamjau exhorts his sue
cessors to perfect themselves In the
practical part Of the business rs well
rs in the theoretical part. One Of the
machines has a striking resemblance
to a machine used to-day for the bend
ing Of metal hoops and rings and no
doubt was used for a similar purpose.

severe training. that he could learn
