that morning, and returned to lone in
time to board the afternoon train. He
had frequently made the trip on the
engine, and had become so acquainted
with the work, as to be very handy as
a helper. When he jumped from the
tender, it is said that the oil car as it
went over, struck him, and inflicted
the fatal injuries, fracturing his collar
bone, and crushing several ribs. Drs.
Adams and Frary accompanied the
wounded man to Sacramento, and
remained with him till he died. They
then telephoned the news of his death
to his father, who was en- route to Sac

news at the Slough House, and there

attended, not only by residents of lone,
but also from Jackson and other towns
of the mining section.

A Chicken Raid. :

Tony Lubimar has lost a chicken
coop and dozen fat chickens. They
managed to jump his quarters some
time during Saturday night. Tony
and others were busy with rafting
turkeys and chickens, and shooting for
prizes in the Olympus hall. The coop
was standing in the.rear Of his restau-
rant. Some parties-for it was i'm
possible to pack off the load alone
must have noticed the live outfit there
SO temptingly. and managed to get
away with it without being noticed.
1t was a very clever performance, dar-
ingly conceived, and executed in up
to-date fashion. He has no clue to
the perpetrators, and is at a loss to
know whether his birds have disap-
peared as the result of a practical joke,
or genuine chicken raid for plumber.

Whitman Chief of Police.

Captain George Whitman has been
elected chief of police of San Francisco.
Jackson, the scene of his boyhood
days, congratulates him on his selec-
ton for this responsible position. Not
withstanding the rawlings of the Exam
iner, Mr.. Whitman has abundantly
proved by his long experience on the
city police force that he is the best
qualified man for the office. Under
his management the department will
be conducted honestly and efficiently.
While the new chief of police was not
born in Jackson, his parents settled
here when he was in his infancy. He
received his education here in the pub
lie schools, and when a young man,
went to San Francisco to learn the
plumbing trade, which he abandoned
to enter the police department. His
parents lived in Jackson until 1887, in
which year they sold their property in
this town and left for San Francisco.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
An Interesting and Instructive Gathering at
Amador City.

The Amador County Teachers In
stitute assembled at Amador City in
the NJ. E. church on Monday last, and
continued in session three DAYS, ad-
journing Wednesday afternoon. This
was the second gathering of the teach
ers this year In the spring conven-
ton was held in Berkeley, 1t became
moot question whether the meeting
complied with the requirements of law,
and so the second institute was con-
vened within the county limits.
We regret that we are unable this
week to publish the minutes in full.
By some oversight they failed to reach
us in time for this issue, but we shall
give them in our next.
The proceedings were of more than
usual interest. David S. Snedder of
Stanford University, Miss Alma M.
Patterson of San Francisco Normal
school, and Alexander Gordenker of
lone Academy, addressed the teachers
on educational topics, and were listen
ed to with much interest.
Monday evening reception was ten
dered the teachers in Taylor & Allen IS
new hall, and very entertaining pro-
gram was presented.
The sad news of the railroad disaster
on the lone road, naturally cast a
gloom over the institute, inasmuch as
two of the attending teachers were
vitality concerned in the accident. and
the sympathy of all was strongly
elected in their behalf.
Altogether the gathering was one of
the most successful-from an enter
tanning and profitable standpoint-ever
assembled in the county.

Silver Supsrabundant.

There is more silver in circulation
here than was ever before known.
Silver is the principal medium this
year in the payment of taxes. Hereto
fore, about one-third tax money has
been silver, but this year the percent
age is considerable more. AS result,
the county treasury is full of the white
metal. Even before the heavy settle-
ment of the tax collector, the treasurer
was so overloaded with silver that he
could find no room for it all in the safe
proper. If this predominance of silver
continues, the county will have to pro-
vide an additional safe or replace the
present one with a safe of larger di-
mansions. Business houses complain
of the same thing. The banks find
silver so plentiful that it is necessary to
make an extra charge for cashing
checks with gold. The superabund-
ance of the bulky coinage is caused in a
great measure by the government pay
ing the expressage from the sub-treas-
ury to any point in order to get silver
into circulation. The government
vaults are suffering from plethora of
silver in comparison with gold, and
adopt this method of abating the nuis-
ance. The result is the silver nuisance
is scattered over the country districts,
wherever large number of employees
are paid off monthly in coin. Much of
this surplus silver finds its way back to
the government vaults through the
postoffices. When person wants a
money order, he will naturally pay for
the same in silver rather than gold.
