Der of the Methodist Episcopal church
before she was ten years of age. At
| fifteen she was received into the Free
Methodist church on probation and in
all ways was faithful follower of the
Savior. Among her associates her
brightness and lovable disposition made
her great favorite, and her early
death will be keenly regretted by all
who knew her. Of unusual mental at
tainments, with bright future before
her, hard indeed it is to understand
why she should have been taken. But
out of the troubled waters, where her
| young life went out, her pure soul rose
unaffrighted to meet it's Maker. And
| though we must mourn our loss, yet
we can but know that all is well with
her. She leaves besides the hosts OF
| friends who loved her, her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderpool, two broth
ers, j. A. Vanderpool of Sutter Greek
and j. A. Vanderpool of Plymouth,
two sisters, Mrs. Corrinne V. Smith OF
Shenandoah Valley and Mrs. Louise
V. Zeigler of Bristol, Indiana. Ser
vices to her memory were held last
Sunday evening in the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, of Sacramento,
Rev. G. E. Vaughan pastor, she hav-
ing been member of that congrega-
tion during her life in that CITY,
Charles Edwin Phillips was born in
Knox county. Missouri, on March IL,
1878, being the youngest child of Rev.
and Mrs. S. H. Phillips. The family
came to this State in 1884, settling in
Shenandoah, where Charlie received
his early education. In 1895 he re-
moved to Sacramento with his parents,
but was still regarded as one of our
Shenandoah boys. In Sacramento he
completed his school course and. took
up the study of Pharmacy. He had
been for some time in the employ of
Ing & Alice as clerk and was intend
ing at the end of this vacation to enter
the State College of Pharmacy, where
d four months course would complete
his studies. He came to Plymouth on
Sunday, June Sd, for a visit to his
brothers. He was one of a merry
party that left town for a fishing ex-
cursiOn and in few short hours youth,
ambition and life were blotted out in
the cruel waters. He was member of
the Christian church, in which his
father was minister. He was very
popular both in Plymouth and Sacra-
mento and his loss will be deeply
mourned. He leaves his parents, Rev.
and Mrs. S. H. Phillips of Sacramento,
two brothers, w. B. and Jasper H.
Phillips of Plymouth, two sisters, Mrs.
Mollie S. Gillum of Missouri and Mrs.
Retta E. Brown of Shenandoah.
The funerals took place last Thurs
day afternoon; large concourse had
assembled to pay the last sad tribute of
respect to the dead, the M. E. church
where the services were held being
more than filed. The services were
conducted by Rev. G. h. Darling, as
sisted by Rev. Mr.. Haddox of the Free
Methodist church of Sacramento and
Rev. A. j. Case of Amador City. The
pulpit and organ were draped in white
and wreathed with green foliage; a
multitude of flowers covered the cas-
kets and the bodies were laid to rest
in graves made beautiful with white
and green. Peace to their dust and to
the aching hearts of the mourners the
consolation that cometh of God.

Scalded BY Steam.

Mrs. John Forbes who resides near
jackson, was quite severely scalded on
the face and hands last Monday. At
first it was feared the sight of both
eyes had been destroyed, but DR..
Endicott says the sight has not been
injured. Mrs. Forbes took the lid off a
pot of beans she had been cooking, and
received dash of outpouring steam
square in the face. Her eyes were
swollen shut in few moments there
after and she suffered excruciating
pain.

Supt. Truscott is very busy man,
but he finds time to look after every de-
tail of the important work being done at
the Oneida mine. The 60stamp mill
in process of construction is gradually
growing into what will be one of the
finest and most modern quartz mills in
the State. Other work at the old and
new shafts is progressing satisfactorily.

A Suspicious Case.

VIM. Street, a colored man, arrived
here about noon yesterday, having
been sem to this city from New Mar
tinsville. He is afflicted with a severe
case of the measles and asked for aid
from the city. Chief Clemans report
ed the matter to Health Officer Jep-
son, who issued a permit to have the
nan taken to the Infirmary. There
on the arrival of the Chief, who took
Street to the institution. he was in
formed by those in charge that the case
was one that had every symptom of a
case of smallpox. This report was
discredited, however, by DR.. Jepson,
who stated that the nan has the
measles and that on account of him
being broken out so badly leaves one
under the impression that it might be
a Ease of smallpox. The report at first
caused some little uneasiness around
police headquarters, but the scare was
soon V with.

The fourteen c~onstables of Ohio
county who are at present under bond
for the faithful performance OF their
duty, are to have an organization,
which is expected to be of much ben
eft to them. For a long time. it is,
alleged, these officers have been i'm
posed on to a large extent, and they
will try to remedy the trouble.
A meeting was held in Justice Phil
lips Office yesterday afternoon with
half of the fourteen present. The en-
tire list, however, are willing to Join
the movement, and on next Sunday an
other meeting will be held when it
is expected that the organization will
be completed.
The chief trouble, according to a
well-known constable, is on account
OF SO many special constables being
appointed, who make one or two ar
rests and do not furnish bond. These
cases invariably are ones that bring
in good fees and a regularly appointed
officer often gets knocked out of the
revenue. What the regular officers
want is to be recognized, that they may
secure all this work and put a stop
to so many men serving papers and
making arrests for justices, who are
not bonded. Men who are regularly
appointed constables earn their live
lihood in this manner and they are of
the opinion that they should be enti-
tied to serve all warrants.
The entire number are said to be
heartily in favor of effecting this Or
%ganization and in fact, a move of this
nature was talked of some time ago.
For some reason or other the scheme
fell through.

are fairly making things hum in the
race for Assessor, country district.
Strangely enough their friends are
using different applications OF the same
argument in support of the respective
candidates. Anderson solicits votes on
the ground that his experience is an
invaluable, if not an essential quail
fication for the work, while Smith is
turning Anderson's eight years service
to an apparent advantage in arguing
the principle of rotation in office. 1t
is conceded that the contest is to be
very close. and this fact is causing
friends of the two men to redouble
their efforts during the final week OF
the anvas There is a contest in the
city district also, but it is devoid OF
the bitterness which has developed IN
the race between Anderson and Smith.
In Republican magisterial districts
the contests over the Commissioner
ship have relegated the fights for other
offices to the background. In Madison
Ed Schenerlein and Councilman
Bradbury are fighting H. P. McGregor,
who wants another term. Mr.. McGreg-
or should be accustomed to political
battles by this time. His experience
has not been limited by any means. In
Clay DR.. L. N. Refer is making things
very interesting for Will Gutman. In
Richie Adolph Fritz, who seems to
possess the happy knack of getting
there" in the face of the most deter
mined opposition, again has a fight on
his hands. Even Andrew Hare, who
has been twice elected in Centre, a
Democratic district, will meet with
strong opposition next Saturday in the
candidacy of Charles o. Roemer. 1t
appears that the Commissionership is
a much coveted political plum, and it
is said that a statement of the actual
amount of money received by MEM
bers of the present Board for their dis
tinguished services to the county would
be a revelation to voters.
