Arrested for Burglary.

Frank Trabucca, who lives on the
road between Jackson and Pine Grove,
was arrested last Monday and brought
to Jackson and lodged in Jail, to answer
to charge of burglary.
The day before his arrest, Trabucca,
who is a young man, entered the house
of Joe Oneto, with the intention, as he
afterwards told the sheriff, of helping
himself to any money that he might
find. He did not find any money, but
claims to have taken can OF sardines.
While rumaging in one bedroom he
heard some one coming and got into
another room. The sheriff was in
formed of the affair and Immediately
had the man arrested. He had in his
possession rifle, revolver and large
knife,

Wanted to Get In.

Several residents of this town were
bothered the first of the week by some
one prowling around their homes at
night. On Tuesday morning about
one o'clock this midnight visitor paid
his respects to a certain house on
Broadway. He tried doors and win
dows, calling to the inmates. The
gentleman of the house awoke and
asked what was wanted, and the usual
cry of tout of work, wife and children
somewhere, and no money to support
them, Twas the answer.
After parleying awhile the man said
he had lost his hat and wanted match,
but was refused. He then demanded
that the door be opened, and not until
threatened with dose of lead did he
leave the premises. The officers failed
to secure the man, and as nothing has
been heard of him for the past few
days, it is supposed that he left town.

This property is consolidation of the
Bunker Hill and May Flower. On it
is shaft in the May Flower $50 feet in
depth. The old shaft of the Bunker
Hill was sunk TO depth of 500 feet; it
had been closed for number of years
when it was re-opened in the latter
part of 1899. The upper portion of the
shaft was badly caved, which required
a great deal of work to recover. A
cross-cut tunnel was driven some years
since near the base of the hill to con-
meet with the old May Flower shaft at
a station, and branch driven beyond
in the direction of the Bunker Hill.
This latter has been continued to the
Bunker Hill vein, it being the intention
to drain the mine of surface water
through this tunnel. There is also a
shaft 400 feet deep on the south end of
the property. The hanging-wall of
the vein is a fine-grained grayish rock,
in places carrying considerable finely
disseminated iron sulphide; this rock
is diabase tuff, greatly altered. The
states found in the foot-wall are the re-
suit of alteration of tufaceous diabase,
and bear the characteristic pitted
marks which distinguish this class of
states in Amador.
In its early history, the Bunker Hill
is credited with production of about
81, 900, 600 down to the 700-foot level.
The shoots have southerly trend.
The mine is equipped with substantial
steam hoist, but as yet has no mill.

brother in Oakland called to the phone.
The gentleman was found, but the
brother at this end of the line, being
under the influence of liquor, could not
understand what the brother at Oak

for them about ten minutes, when the

Methods while very primitive in some
respects have been handed down from
generation to generation and are said
originally to have been the teachings
OF pious monks, who were learned men
and particularly fond of agriculture,
which they taught the young men

these pupils were kept ignorant of all
book learning, they profited by the les.
sons and experience of their learned

Two hundred and. twenty-five people
were killed and 667 injured by the rail-
roads of Iowa for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1900, according to the annual
report of the railroad commission
ers. More lives were lost and more
people injured than,in any other year
in the history of railroading in Iowa.
In spite Of all this the percentage of
passengers who lost their lives during
the year, according to the total number
of deaths was mulch smaller. Only nine
of the 222 killed we're passengers, while
less than one third of the total number
killed were railroad employees. One
hnndred and forty three of those killed
were not connected with the railroads
in any way, either as employees or pas
sengers They were either killed wlSle
walking on the track, crossings etc, ~,
else were buns, tramps or others steal
ing rides, and for whose deaths the
companies were in no way respon-
sible. OF the number injured nearly
two thirds were employees Of the roads
while persons who had no connection
with the road suffered much more than
passengers. OF the total number killed
and injured only about 10 per cent. were
passengers.

And her song Vt courage trills
When we close our eager fingers
On o little wad of bills.
When the breath ofwinter chills
And dismay our bosom fllls
At the thought Of zero weather
Sweeping down from icy hills,
We can laugh at hoary Janus
And his horde of brooding ills,

With little wad of bills.
Life Is full of ups and downs,
Fotne smiles and then she frowns,
II you wed the girl you cherish
You must settle. for her gowns.

When success our efforts crowns,
But a touch Of empty pockets
All our exultatIon browns.
Oh, a little wad Of bills!i
How 1t soothes our earthly ills,
How 1t clears the worlds complexion
Like a dose Of liver pills.
Oh, the soul forgets Its sorrow
And the heart with rapture thrills
When 1t feels the gentle pressure

Double Life.

Mrs Alonzo Smith, talented daughter
of New England Baptist minister,
state organizer of the Independent Order
of Good Templars, of Minnesota, sister
of Mrs. Alice Mclaughlin, one of San
Francisco's society leaders, leader of
the w. G. T, U. and an indefatigable
worker in the cause of temperance in
the Northwest, died like an outcast in a
low lodging house in St. Paul.
Mrs. Smith was the wife Of . wealthy
Minnesota farmer. Two weeks ago. says
a st. Paul Dispatch, she left tAer beau
tiful home at Excelsior, few miles
from this city, saying she was going to
train Sunday school children for q tenn
perance entertainment.
The inquiry into the cause of her
death revealed strange double life.
For years she had lsctured, written and
organized for the temperance cause in
the Northwest. A coroner's jury found
that her death was due to hard drink.
ing and excessive dissipation.
Mrs. Smith was found dead in foul
smelling room in the Senate Hotel, q
cheap lodging house of this city, last
Monday. Two days before her death
she had been arrested for drunkenness,
but was discharged when she privately
told the magistrate who she was. At
the time of her arrest she was hopeless
ly intoxicated.
A few days prior to her death, accord
ing to witnesses who testified at the in
quest, Mrs. Smith went on spree with
two cab drivers. She was driven around
the city for hours in an almost helpless
state of intoxicatlon.
This remarkable woman was giant
ess in size and of comely appearance.
She had been successful in temperance
work and over the pen name of "Laura
Bell'' her, scathing articles denouncing
strong drink appeared in the leading
temperance newspapers snd periodicals
in the United States and Canada. She
was also leading worker in the Cen
trail Baptist Church of Minneapolis.
/. After weeks spent in graphing witt
the temperance work of this State, sht
would, under her own name but un
known to all, plunge into the wildes
dissipation the low dives Of the TwiI
Cities provided. The city jailer testified
that when he kept hotel year ag,
he had been compelled to expel Mrs
Smith from his premises on account o
her intoxication.
Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Rev
David Jordan, of Boston, who came t
this state twenty years ago. Afte
graduating with honors from the Min
nesota state Normal School at ST. Cloud
she accepted professorship and re
tanned it until her marriage to Alonz
Smith, a wealthy farmer, of st. ClouG
AT the age of thirty-tive, talented, re
fined and respected she took up tn
temperance cause Only james Gra!
of 16l Acker street, this city, knew Q
her. double life. He kept the secret III
til her death.
Her relatives and friends now explai
her actions by stating that she was
hopeless dipsomaniac of the type grapf
ically portrayed by Walter Besant.
