A ROMANTIC STORY.
Miner From Colorado May Wed an
Indian Girl.

The following romantic story comes
from Tacoma, Washington:
NJ. +. Gordon, an old-time miner Of
Colorado and Alaska, has gone to Cor
pus, Christi, Texas, to join an Indian
maiden who loves him, and whom his
friends feel certain he will marry. Cor
doris most thrilling experience during
a life of adventures happened a num-
Der of years ago when he became lost
in the mountain wilds of western Mex
leo, and wandered about eight months,
living on wild animals and berries,
without sight of human beings. He
was led from the wilderness by two In
dian maidens, one of whom fell in love
with him. When they got within sight
Of civilization this maiden refused to
leave him. Her companion, becoming
jealous, left them, but returned next
day with the tribe, who seized Gordon
and prepared TO burn him at the stake
While the ceremony was delayed
awaiting the chieftain's arrival, Cor
don broke the bands which bound him
and escaped.
After several years spent in Alaska
and other northern camps, Gordon this
week received a letter from the Indian
girl which reveals a remarkable story.
Refusing TO marry any one else, she de-
cided to become his equal by educating
herself. This she accomplished, finally
becoming a teacher in one of the Texas
Indian schools. Her father, an Indian
chief, died, leaving her a valuable es-
tate. She waited for Gordon vainly
until one day she saw the picture in
Denver paper. She wrote him in Alas
ka and finally at Tacoma. In re
sponse to her letter Gordon now joins
her.

The Letter R in Massachusetts.

One of the things a westerner misses
in Massachusetts is the letter r. A
teacher in one of the schools near Bos-
ton was conducting a class in spelling.
The exercise consisted in writing down
sentences read aloud by the teacher.
''Mistah Nose went to Bawston." said
the teacher. The little girl from the
West set 1t down, "NIr. Moss went to
Boston," and couldn't understand why
she was credited with an error in the
marking of her paper later in the day.
The little girl has been all but mobbed
by her schoolmates-in the cheerful
way of these young savages every
where-for using the short o, the final
G and the round r, and she doesn't
know whether to surrender for peace,
or to stand for her American right to
give correct utterance to the language
of the country. One of the teachers
did try to assimilate the r. She even
insisted that her pupils should use it
You must say mother" she urged
Mother" lisped the urchin addressed.

Fine Clothes His Hoodoo.

Among the possessions of Senator
Dietrich of Nebraska are a silk hat
and frock suit. The other day he
put the outfit away, he thinks, for
good. The senator. who usually dress
es much like farmer, first wore the
regalia named on the day he was in
augurated governor of Nebraska. 1t
rained and showed that day. He wore
them a second time when President
Mckinley was sworn in a second
time. 1t rained heavily On the day
the Rochambeau statue was unveiled
he once more tempted fate and got
the full benefit of a shower that inter-
rupted the exercises. The following
Sunday he again arrayed himself. only
to be caught in heavy thunderstorm.
Now he has laid away his suit and
hat, convinced that they act as a hoo
doc.

less-CUred by
Peruna.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, MINI.
as follows:
'I suffered for years with a pain In
the small of my back and right side.
III inferfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem 10 help me any.
Unfortunately a member of our Or
der advised me to try PerUna and gave
1T such high praise that decided to try
ii. Although 1 starred in with little
faith, felt so much better In a week
that / felt encouraged.
'I took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed TO be able TO say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more Is the best thing
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now, "---Minnfe e. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at
a uniform price, and no druggist can
get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
daV without a doubt.

HOW 1T WORKS.

The Ledger has heretofore called
attention to the fact that the iudici-
ary branch of the county govern
ment is now, and has been for years,
in the hands of one political party
condition of affairs that does not
exist in any other county in the
state, so far as we know. The su-
perior Judge, sheriff, district at
torney, and clerk are all of the same
political faith. The present district
attorney has been in office one term,
and is now a candidate for d second
term, but with regard to the other
officers they have held their respect
i've positions for periods ranging
from eight to ten years, and are now
asking the people to elect them for
from four to six years more. 1t will
be readily understood that such long
continued supremacy and monopoly
of any department of the govern
ment, by partisans of the same po-
litical faith, tends todevelop peculiar
characteristics. They assume office
united politically-that is to say,
they are members of an organiza-
tion having for its object the ad-
vancement of their partys interests.
With this unity of purpose as a
starting point, it is only natural
that the combination should extend
its ramifcations in other directions.
Now, there are several points in
connection with the criminal business
of Amador county within the past
decade that are deserving of serious
thought. On no subject are the
people more jealousy alert than the
manner of dealing with persons ac-
cused of crime. This alertness argues
no sympathy with the criminal ele-
ment. 1t means that, in public esti-
nation, the rights of defendants are
as sacred as the rights of free and
unoffending citizens, and any inter-
Amador ledger., 1902-09-19
Total. .S1.95

From this it will be seen that the
reduction of ten cents in the state
rate is neutralized by an increase of
two cents for current expenses, three
cents for hospital fund, and nearly
8 cents in the road funds. This in
increase the hospital fund is easily
explainable. Permanent improve
ments to the value of over $4,000
have been made by the building of
the annex to the main building.
The board was urged to raise both
the current expense and the road
funds still higher; on what grounds
we are at a loss to conceive. The
road fund levies, for instance, will
provide in round numbers about
$23, 600 to be spent upon the high
ways, to say nothing of the revenue
to be derived from road poll taxes.
By way OF contrast we reproduce
the tax rate in the piping old days
of democratic ascendancy twenty
years ago. In 1882 the levy for the
various funds was as follows:

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

j. W. Caldwell, nominee on the
republican ticket for district attor-
ney, was born in El Dorado county in
1868, -and is therefore "a years of
age. His father, Crawford Caldwell,
was a practicing physician, and
moved to Plymouth in this county
in 1875, and died there in 1877.
Thrown early on his own resources
the subject of this sketch has had to
earn his own living since he was
twelve years of age In 1885 he
moved to Amador City, and worked
in and around the quartz mills there,
at the same time pursuing his studies
with view to fit himself for school
teaching, and later on received a
teachers certificate in Ell Dorado
county. He never followed teaching
as a profession, always keeping in
view his chosen profesSion-the law.
Went to San Francisco in 1895, and
studied in the law office of MCGEE &
Cavagnaro, until he passed examina-
tion before the supreme court in May
1897. Being admitted to the bar
he came to Jackson, where he has
been actively engaged in the prac-
tice of law for over five years. He
was appoint ted referee in bankruptcy
for Amador county by Judge De
Haven, of the United States district
court, which position he filed for
two years with en- tire satisfaction to
the court aud credit to himself. He
was mentioned as a candidate for
district attorney four years ago, but
would not allow his name to 90 be-
fore the convention, believing that
more experience in the practice of
law would better qualify him for the
position. We believe the voters will
make no mistake in electing him to
the important Office of district at
torney
