SUFFER- CREEK VOTES ON IN
CORPORATION
The Proposition Badly Beaten-A Heavy
Vote Polled.

The election to decide whether SUIT
ter Creek should incorporate as city
of the sixth class was held in that town
last Saturday. The day was anything
but an ideal one for campaigning. never
theless very heavy vote was polled,
showing that the contest awakened
lively interest on both sides. The
pros exerted all their strength to carry
the scheme; on the other hand, the
opponents were alert and active, and
in the few days preceding the election
made heavy gains. 1t was evident to
outsiders who happened to visit Sutter
Creek, that the proposition was
doomed to defeat; it was simply a
question of what size majority the
antis would score against it. Some
idea of the interest manifested may be
gathered from the fact that the total
number of votes cast was 279. In
Jackson last March the vote, with a
much larger population to draw from,
was only 316, including illegal ballots.
When the officers had finished the
count it was found that 106 were for
Incorporation, and 162 against, show
ing majority of Sc in favor of Sutter
Creek remaining in the list of unin-
corporated towns.
We congratulate the citizens of our
hn
have displayed in securing this result.
There is no doubt the leaders in the
movement were actuated by a sincere
desire to improve the town. They be-
lieved it would advance the interests of
Sutter Greek. On the other haud,
those who opposed it must also be
credited with praiseworthy motives.
They could not see where the benefit
would come. Notwithstanding all that
has been said in favor of incorporating,
the people failed to be convinced. The
promises of getting elective officers to
serve free of charge, when the law
contemplated that they should be
remunerated for their services; also
the pledge of no increase in the present
state and county tax rate; that is, that
the city government and any improve
ments that might be undertaken,
should be carried on out of taxes and
other sources of revenue diverted from
the county treasury to the city treas.
ury, were naturally looked upon as
signals of distress; desperate efforts to
bolster up weak cause. The Ledger
is the only paper in the county that
failed to give its moral support to the
movement. Every other paper urged
the people of Sutter Greek to incor.
porate, without giving any solid
reasons in support of their position.
The outcome serves to show that the
average citizen can do some thinking
on his own account, and cannot see
that movements depending upon graf.
uitous services are calculated to be re-
dound to the public veal. If the ad
vocates of Incorporation in Jackson
harbored any serious designs of bring
ing on another election in this town
this set back in Sutter Greek will prob
ably cause them to pause ere they try
conclusions again.

Welded IN GREEK-RUSSIAN
CHURCH.
The Marriage Ceremony According to
the Faith of that Church.

The following taken from the Call of
Monday last will be read with interest
by our readers:
With the quaint rites of the Servian
church, marriage was solemnized
yesterday afternoon at the Greek
Russian Cathedral, on Powell street,
the contracting parties being Miss
Draga Milisich and Achilles Doklestich,
both of whom are prominent in the
local Servian colony.
The wedding party arrived at the
Cathedral at 8 p. m, and was received
by Rev. Father Thomas Pashkovsky,
who celebrated the marriage service.
The bride was attended by Miss T.
Simrak, and the greomsman was SpirO
Vukosavlievich, while the relatives
and friends of the bridal couple filled
the church.
The wedding service was conducted
partly in the Servian and English Ian
guages and a choir was in attendance.
The groom and bride stood in front of
the altar with long lighted candles in
their hands during the first part of the
ceremony. Then the officiating priest
took two gold and ieweled crowns from
the altar and held them over the heads
of the bridal couple, announcing that
the groom and bride were crowned as
servants of God. The hands of the
young couple were then tied together
with a handkerchief, and the priest led
them three times around the altar, the
groomsman following behind, holding
the crowns over their heads.
Consecrated wine was given to the
contracting couple and the jeweled
crowns were replaced on the altar.
The priest delivered a short address to
the couple and placed gold ring on
the third finger of each ones right
hand and declared them husband and
wife.
After the ceremony the marriage
register was signed and the bridal pair
departed from the church amid
showers of rice and sweetmeats thrown
by their friends and relatives.
An elaborate wedding feast was given
in the evening at the residence of S.
Jankovich, and later on the newly
welded couple left on short honey
moon trip. On their return they will
reside at the residence prepared by the
groom, at Pacific and Larkin streets.
The bride, a pretty brunette, is the
daughter of Mr., and Mrs. S. N. Mill
sich of Sutter Greek, Amador county,
and the groom is connected with the
Somps Soda Water Company, on
Laguna street.
The bride and groom are very pop
ular in local Servian circles and they
received large number of handsome
gifts on the occasion of their nuptials.

CONDEMNED IN MISsOuRI.AND CON-
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke OF ST. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment OF New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alur1 mixed with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
Introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
1t. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten 10
twenty cents for a pound can, or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der of established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades. the
alum danger will, it is hoped. finally
be driven from our homes.

SPEcuLATiNG IN SEATS.
It wilI Cost Money to See the Corona
ton Procession.

London. April 2s.-Permanent resi-
dents of London are suffering from the
efforts being made by the city for the
coronation. There is scarcely street
through which the procession will pass,
but has not been torn up.
The newspapers. both here and in
America, are full of Measurements
concerning the cost of seats to view
the coronation professions and as to
what the hotels will charge visitors.
Spectators and those having seats to
sell are giving the impression that
there Is Il tremendous demand on the
part of rich Americans and other for
egners, who are said to be paying any
price asked in order 30 see the show.
Ridiculous statements as to the prices
paid for certain windows or seats In
Piccadllly or elsewhere have been con-
stantly published. Seats in the best
positions in Piccadilly the most
sought-after positions, could yesterday
be had for from eighty to twenty gui-
meas. according to the row. This was
for the first days procession. For the
second day the prices asked were from
three to seven .guineas. In Pail Mall,
where the buildings are mostly clubs
and very few windows are to let, the
prices are slightly higher. For the sec
ond days procession along the Strand,
seats cost four to seven gulneas. At
St. Paul four huge stands will be erect
ed ana the prices are from three to sew
On guineas. On the south side of the
river the best seats cost five to seven
guineas.
The hotel question, however, Is less
encouraging for the intending visitors.
The managers of the Cecil. Carlton. Sa-
voy and Berkley, all said yesterday
that they did not have a single room
vacant for coronation week.

Not Guilty of Trying to Extort Money
From Prisoners.

Denver, April 2S.-The formal report
completely exonerating Secretary Clar-
ence L. Stonaker of the state board of
pardons from the charges preferred by
convicts and others, was submitted
yesterday. 1t follows:
Denver, Colo, April "a, 1902.
ITO His EXcellency, James B. Orman,
Governor of Colorado:
'Sir-Upon your personal request,
made to the president of the State
Board of Charities and Correction and
made subseqent to the filing of certain
charges against C. l.. Stonaker, which
charges We're accompanied by the atfi-
davits furnished by one Kenneth Nj.
Laurie, an inquiry was made by the
members of our board, in conjunction
with the state board of pardons.
Two sessions We're held at the state
penitentiary at Canon City, on Sunday
afternoon and evening, April Is, 1902,
at which twenty-five persons We're ex-
amined under oath.
Adjourned sessions of this inquiry
We're held in the Senate chamber at
the state capitol, ON Wednesday after
noon and evening, April 10th, and on
Saturday evening, April 10Th. In all
forty persons We're examined, under
oath, and every possible effort was
made to secure full and complete in
formation from all persons having
knowledge of any fact bearing upon
his investigation. \ full and complete
stenographic report was made, and 1t
is submitted, along with the papers in
this case.
Although every opportunity was
publicly given to any person or persons
to appear during the sessions of the
joint boards TO present further charges
Or statements rejecting upon the otfi-
cial conduct of c. l.. Stonaker, we find
that the charges preferred against him,
of receiving or attempting to eXtort
money from prisoners or others have
not in any respect been sustained, anu,
in our judgment, nothing adduced in
the evidence reflects upon his official
honesty.

view of the establishing of increased
packing facilities of Denver, to have
such n show; first, to stimulate effort
in the direction of producing fat stock
of all kinds in the western states, and
second. to exhibit to the feeders OF
corn the excellent varieties of feeding
stock produced in the western section
that they can secure for their eastern

benefit would result to the stockmen
residents of the intermountain country
to see the results of the efforts of 9TH

talk over various feeds, methods OF
feeding and see actual examples of
