A REGENT PROBABLE.

Although very little has been said of
the increasing feebleness OF Queen Vic
torie. enough has crept into the recent
dispatches to indicate that the Prince
of Wales may soon become King of
England and Emperor of India. The
declining years of the good Queens life
have been embittered by private griefs
and public sorrows. which have admit
tedly shortened her life,
1t was an open secret that she was
strenuously opposed to the Rhodes
Chamberlain war in South Africa, to
the very last, and that she would have
prevented hostilities had not Mr.. Cham-
berlain bated the Beers into taking
steps that compelled the Queen to as
sent to the beginning of hostilities.
The terrible suffering and loss of life
resultant from the war have preyed
upon the Queens mind, and she seems
to have weakened rapidly under the
strain.
According to the London dispatches
of Sunday it is considered as probable
that Queen Victoria may be shortly
compelled to turn over the affairs of
''"'e W d regent. IL Is natural TO sup
pose that this would be the Prince Of
Wales, who would virtually come into
his Kingdom in such case. as there is
no hope that the Queen will ever be
able to take up the cares of State after
once being compelled to resign them
into other hands.
1t had been infinitely better for Eng
land had she Welded to .bo ,-o,,ro,,.
impulses OF her aged sovereign, instead
OF the sordid and. vicious jingoism of
Chamberlain and Rhodes, whose poll
cies have Inundated England. and
FASTENED the death of Queen Victoria.

that the powers have acted none too

plants for ivory is 100000 animals and
that if their bodies were placed in d
continuous line it would stretch n full

are rapidly stamping out the game

State Fair Proposition.

As has been stated the state fair COM
mission decided to hold fair next fall,
provided $500 was raised by the citizens
to be used as guarantee fund. The in
itiative was taken by the Commercial
club and committee composed of Messrs.
Diteman, Richards and Rand appointed
to canvass the matter among the bust
ness men. Mr.. Diteman secured $500 of
the amount by subscription on Monday.
The money is only to be used by the
Commission in case the expenses run
above the amount of money left over.
1t is stated that the state fair commits.
sion has $1,000 left over from the
biennial appropriation and receipts of
last fall's exhibition. The commission
has also about 81 900 due from horses en- .
tered here las, fall and held at Salem,
OREGON. This sum with the 81 800 to be
raised by the Commercial Club will
guarantee good fair this fall. it is be-
lieved.

About Grain Sacks. Etc.

Hon. H. j. Snively, member of the
state board of audit and control, returned
from meeting of the board at Tacoma
last Saturday. Mr.. Snively states that
the board has remedied certain defects
in the sale of grain sacks and hop cloth
at the penitentiary. Heretofore the sacks
were sold on the principle of first come
first served, and the large farmers were
enabled to gobble them up. The grain
sacks cost SIS 80 a hundred. jute having
increased 40 per cent The rule now is
that all orders now in are cancelled. APP
plication for the purchase of grain sacks
must be made to the warden between the
LIST of March and the lst Of April. The
warden then sends blanks to the county
auditor, Who gives under oath the num-
her of acres of wheat the applicant has
in cultivation. and the total number of
sacks. say 1000 900 are manufactured and
then distributed at cost, pro rata, to the
applicants. This does not supply the
demand, which is probably 100000
sacks, but it prevents speculation and
keeps down the price of jute sacks and
hop cloth in the market Mr.. Snively
stated that the state institutions were all
In very satisfactory condition, but some
needed Improvements were being made,
notably among which was the large in.
Urinary at Medical Lake, work upon
which will soon be star ted. The affairs
of the state government are moving along
nicely. Some of the salaries of the state
officers have been raised to the old rates
prevailing when the present administra-
ton assumed the reins. The board was
justified in this action from the fact that
rents and the price of commodities have
increased very materially, and employees
found it hard scratching to exist on the
old salaries.

MY VALENTINE.

written for The Herald
sunny, thawing winters day,
Softening the frozen, yellow clay,
As If the amorous breath of May
Were in the February sunshine.
As in the old school house came,
My cheeks flushed with sudden flame;
For on my desk saw my name
Written on my first valentine.
Secure behind my speller hid,
The careful sealing undid.
who for that moment would not bid
when spelled out the first sweet line?
! read it all with eager zest,
Nor knew nor cared why life seemed blessed
knew that some one loved me best,
Aud told it in that valentine.
| cannot end this simple tale
with signs that childhood's dreams must fail,
Nor DER hopes faded prospects wall,
For still joys trimming cup is mine;
And though the years may wax and wane,
Unto all lives must fall some rain),
Yet February brings again
Each year real love valentine.
And so. when good st Peter stands
With my account book in his hands
And from my hour glass dumps the sands,
think he'll say, with smile divine
you've always got one every year.
You shan't be disappointed here
And then hen give you to me, dear.
For my sweet valentine.

To Pay Of the Church Debt.


Rev. F. A. Morrow is a hustler, il
we may be permitted to use that .ex-
pressive word in connection with gen.
tlemen of his calling. He is, trying to
raise money enough to lift the church
debt, which has been dragging along
for some years, aud he will do it. He
has raised during the present, week
fully one-third of the sum required,
and it is reasonable to suppose that a
person of his determination and zeal
will keep at the good work until the
very last dime has been secured. We
are pleased to note that several of our
wealthy citizens have contributed to
the fund and that others have signified
willingness to do so We believe it
is the intention of Rev Morrow to
raise enough money, now that he is at
it and warmed to the work, to pay off
the debt and repaint the church. This
we trust will be done for if there is any
building in the county that needs a
coat OF paint, and that right speedily,
it is the Methodist church of Jackson.
Those who are able should promptly
respond to Rev. Morrow's invitation
to assist, and deem it a privilege to do

Funeral Of Hsrbsrt Ysla.

The funeral of the late Herbert Vela
took place on Tuesday afternoon, Msy
9th, Rev. F. A. Morrow officiating.
The procession left the house about 2
p. m. and went direct to the cemetery
where impressive commitment cere-
monies were had. The attendance was
large and the floral offerings numerous
and beautiful. Undertaken Roberts of
Sutter Creek was in charge. 0
The deceased was called in the
springtime of life, his age being about
22. He was an exemplary young man,
industrious and economical and had his
life been spared no doubt he would
have become substantial and promi-
nent citizen.
His brother, George, was sick almost
unto death when he died, but is now,
we believe, much improved and in a
fair way for recovery.
The sorely bereaved family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community.

The Health Office Question.

While 1t is fact that health officer
is seriously handicapped in the absence
of municipal government, and cannot
therefore enforce the law SO readily
and abate nuisances so promptly, vet
to be without such officer, especially in
time of epidemic when rigid quarantine
is necessary, would be poor kind Of
economy. So far as Amador county is
concerned, the combined salary of the
county physician and health officer is
but trihe more than other counties
pay for the service of physician. For
example, Calaveras county pays its
county physician 800 month and fur
nishes a nurse and medicine. Amador
county pays for similar service $50 a
month and furnishes neither nurse nor
medicine. Thus it is apparent that
what our health officer does accomplish
is, or would be if we paid the county
physician as much as physicians of
other counties get, simply donation.
1t is not claimed that the health officer
has accomplished all that ought to
have been accomplished, butt is fair to
believe that he has done all that could
be reasonably expected under existing
circumstances.

start For Alaska.

Next Saturday or Sunday number
of Amador county gentlemen will start
far Soloman River, Alaska bent on
accommodating that substance, the love
of which the good book says is the 'root
of all evil" Well, no one can blame
them for striving after little of the
''root, for it appears to have vast deal
OF influence on this mundane sphere.
Gentlemen, the LEDGER sincerely
wishes you comfortable fortune each.
The gentlemen referred to are from
Pine Grove, namely; Alec Adams,
James Hamilton, John Werly, John
Lowry, all hardy men capable of hold
ing their own in any camp in the frozen
north. At Stockton they will be join
ed by the Boggs brothers, which will

Our Loss; stockton's Gain.

In the departure of Mrs. E. B.
Robertson to her new and commodious
home in Stockton, Jackson loses an
old and most highly respected citizen.
Mrs. Robertson has just completed a
fine home in the most fashionable dis
trict of Stockton which in future is to
be her home and that of her son. Mrs.
Robertson leaves a beautiful home here
which is to be occupied by tenant
until such time as she decides to sell it,.
For the last three weeks before her de-
parture, Mrs. Robertson was quite ill
with the prevailing disease-la grippe,
but was mending rapidly when she left
on Tuesday morning. The best wishes
of the community go with her.
