NEW USE FOR koDAks.
Non-Union Man Photographs a Crowd
of Assauters.

Chicago, Oct. 18.-F. E. Farnum,
while making repairs on telephone
wires under the guardianship of a spe-
cial policeman, was attacked by seven
men, whom he claims he recognized as
striking inemen. Farnum, like other
non-union man, carried a camera for
the purpose of taking snapshots of
anyone found injuring the telephone
company's property. He quickly got
a focus on the crowd and pressed the
button. This further angered the
seven men and they threatened the
amateur photographer, who thereupon
drew a revolver and fired a shot over
their heads. The men started to run,
followed by. two wagonloads of po.
licemen, the alarm having been turned
in. Four of them were captured.
Farnum said he believed he had Sc
cured a good picture of all the men
and the police say when the picture
is developed they will get the remain
der of the men.
The linemen, 250 in number, went
on strike Month ago. It has always
been difficult to identify strikers
charged with violence, and the expert
ment of equipping non-union employees
with cameras is novelty likely to
prove of practical use.

FEARED PRISONERS FRIENDS.
Strong Guard Placed Around an Iowa
Lookup.


La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 1S.-A special
from Lansing Ia, says:
In the Jail at this place is confined
Clarence Hastings, who is alleged to
have assaulted little Clara Dose of
Stoddard, Wis, some days ago and
who since has been a fugitive from
justice, awaiting the arrival of requi-
sition papers from the governor of
Wisconsin that he may be taken back
to answer for his alleged crime.
Around the Jail are stationed spe-
cial watchmen, the reason for all this
unusual vigilance on the part of the
officials is that word was carried them
that friends of the prisoner were pre-
pairing to advance On the Jail in force,
Hberate Hastings and set fire to the
village. The report caused great ex-
citement in Lansing, which has partly
subsided, but every precaution will be
taken to guard the Jail until the requi.

MEN ARE ELIGIBLE,
Admitted by Minnesota Federation Of
Women's Clubs,

Woman's Federation spent most of tn,
day discussing the constitution. In
addition to several amendments the
federation voted to admit and recog-
nize the so-called mixed clubs" COM
posed of men and women. Some years
ago, in the early history Of the state
organization, four mixed clubs were
admitted to the federation, but the
records fail to show any action taken
on the matter and since that time it
has been held in allegiance.
There was a lively discussion and
only after 4 defeat through a misun-
derstanding on the part Of the dele
gates and a reconsideration did the
question finally carry in favor of their
admittance. ~

An Abduction Case.

A warrant was sworn out Wednesday
in Judge Burce's court at Mokelumne
Hill for the arrest of S. E. Burt on a
charge of abduction. The complaining
witness is Frank Matson, and the alb.
Quoted one is his sixteen-yea
daughter. The complaint is under the
statute that makes it felony to will
fully and fraudulently entice girl away
from her parents. The case is similar
to the Hods0n affair that occupied the
attention of the officers a few weeks
ago. 1t appears that the couple left
Glencoe last Monday, going to Jackson,
from which place they secured tickets
for San Francisco. Mr.. Matson seems
to have considerable domestic trouble.
Some weeks ago his wife left him, and
is now it is said, living with her
paramour at lone. Matson was left
with six children on his hauds.-Cala-

Murderous Assault.

That AL Smith of Carbonate is not
now nursing serious wound or laid
out cold and stark is due to the failure
of revolver to perform it's function.
Mr.. Smith has had in his employ at
odd times since '96, a man named Rob-
ert Davis, an honest, faithful, work.
man, until he recently became mixed
up as he shouldn't.
For some time he has been using
Smiths team on job for the latter,
until there was $40 due him. He
wanted the money and called at the
store, but Smith would not settle until
the team was returned.
Davis called again Wednesday aud
demanded a settlement, Smith again
telling him that the money was ready
when the team was returned. This
angered Davis, who said he would kill
him anyway. Smith ran from behind
the counter, aud looked into the biggest
muzzle he ever saw, and heard the snap
of the hammer on foul cartridge.
Feeling that it was life or death,
Smith grabbed the gun with his left
hand and knocked him down with the
right, and after a hard struggle, Sc
cured the weapon.
Mr.. Smith came to lone Thursday,
and had warrant issued for assault
with deadly weapon, Constable Kelly
arrested him, Judge McCauley bound
him over to the superior court, and he
was yesterday taken to the county
jail.-Ione Echo.

THE TAX LEVY.

AS we expected, Notwithstanding
the increase in assessable property
in Amador county during the past
year, and the fact that the levy for
state purposes shows a slight re-
duction, there has been no reduction
in the total tax levy for state and
county purposes for the current
year. The board of supervisors last
Monday fixed the total at $1.95 on
each one hundred dollars of valua-
ton. This is exactly the same rate
as last year. So that the levy fol-
county purposes has actually been
increased in the sum of 1.8 cents
the amount of reduction in the state
tax. When in addition to this raise,
we take into consideration that the
assessment roll is larger this year
by the sum of 1894, 148, the signif-
canoe of the levy will be appreci-
ated. The amount that will be
available for the expenses of the
local government under this levy will
exceed the revenue of last year by
more than S4100. To show what
funds are to be specially benefited
by this raise, we herewith give for
the purpose of comparison the levy
of 1900 aud 1901:

The Life Line In Ones Hand.

There are three prominent lines in
the palm-the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefnger,
If we imagine the left hand to be a
map. with the fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. 1t thus skirts the base OF
"uprise" of the thumb, known as the
uprise Of Venus. If it is deep, broad,
of good color and extends nearly Or
quite to the wrist and if the rest of the
hand indicates vitality and cheerful
ness. the subject may be expected to
live to green old age; he has good
disposition and the qualities which
good health and good temper usually
create.

AS there is more than one way Of
cooking goose, SO there Is more than
one method of teaching a dog to throw
somersaults. But the most practical
and thorough manner is to fasten a
cord around the body of the animal
close to the forelegs, and two people
should hold the ends Of the cord on
either side of the unfortunate dog.
A third party armed with a stout
rope takes a position Immediately in
front Of the canine acrobat and with a
measured and mastery stroke fiogs the
floor at close quarters to the dogs
nose.
At each stroke of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog spring backward the rope pass
ing under its body is jerked upward,
and, although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault is ac-
quired in course of time. An intelli-
gent dog soon sickens of this order Of
things and throws somersaults with
out the assistance of ropes.

THE COUNTY EXCLUDED.
License Taxes Cannot Be Collected With
in City Limits.


The supreme court has passed upon
the question as to the right of boards
OF supervisors to exact licenses from
persons doing business within the
corporate limits of municipalities. The
matter was determined on the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted by Henry
Pirrman of Los Angeles. Pfrrman
refused to pay SIS liquor license as
provided by the supervisors of Los
Angeles county for doing business in
the limits of Los Angeles city. He was
arrested and in ordering his release
the court holds the Act of 1901 con-
stitutional and says that the territory
OF city organized within county is
withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the
board OF supervisors, and that within
municipalities board of supervisors
has no power to impose license fee or
tax for the sale of liquors.
''The power of counties to license
business undertakings, pays the court,
carried on within municipalities for
the purpose OF receiving revenue ex-
listed prior to the Act of 1901; since
that Act the power exists only of re-
quiring licenses without the limits of
municipalities.
This decision defines the power of
supervisors, and henceforth they can
not collect license taxes within the
limits of any city.

The citizens have made affidavits in
the matter, but the accused officer
makes emphatic denial.
A special from Lordsburg, New
Mexico, tells of E. G. Siebenthal, a
teamster, mourning the enmity of local
residents by uttering the remark last
week that Mckinley was in the hands
of his enemies, while Czolgosz was in
the hands Of his friends" A Tar and
