SANTA MARIA IS LOOSE
The Guatemalan Volcano Fri htens
the Natives Badly-No
Damage Yet.

New York, Oct. 81. - Since Saturday
morning the volcaro of Santa Maria, in
the department of Quezaltenango, north
western part Of Guatemala. has been in
eruption, cables the eIIrald correspondent
at Managua, Nicaragua.
The eruption is attended with terri
flying roar and shocks are felt all over
Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica
No damage has been done. here, but
there is great alarm.
Santa Maria has not been considered
an active volcano. There are several
towns and villages near it. 1t Is only
about ten miles from the recently ruined
town Of Quezaltenango and fifteen miles
from Mezatenango which has about 5000
residents. The height of the volcano Is
49, 57 feet or about three times as high as
Mont Pelee in Martinique.
Guatemala suffered severely from earth
quakes several days last April when many
towns and villages along the Cordillera
were either totally partly reduced to
ruins. The towns Of Quezaltenango and
Ametitlan, capitals respectively Of the de-
partments bearing the same names, were
destroyed.

PARDEE AND THE PIcKHANDLes.

The editor of the Union Labor
Voice, the organ of the union labor
party of Alameda county, has made
a thorough investigation of the in
cidents of the strike of '94, and the
Coxey army movement in Alameda
county, during which trying
period DR.. Pardee was mayor of
Oakland. The editor disposes of the
ISLANDERS which have been circulated
by political malice against the re-
publican candidate in relation to
those troublous days of democratic
ascendancy,in in the following straight
forward manner:
'Pardee did not mix in the '94
strike. He was away. Mayor Par
dee was placed in very trying pos
ition with reference to the Coxey's
army incident. That was his hard
luck. If you or l had been in his
place, doubt if we could have done
l PShn hn"Po hOo DO WcH.
This army arrived in Oakland at
a time when the town was hard
pressed to take care of its own poor.
1t was made up of many earnest de-
cent workingmen, but there were
also in itdangerous, desperate char
acters-a menace to any commun-
ity. The problem was to take care
of these men while here and get rid
of them as soon as possible. Would
you want that job? The Mayor
tried persuasion, concilliation, every
thing. Then Kelley, the leader,
agreed to show of force. Now
comes the pick-handle. This is
the testimony of an eye witness:
The pick-handles We're in the hands
of men chosen by Kelley from the
army" itself
Now, what l say is, support
Pardee if you want to, but do it be-
cause you believe it better for the
state to be in the hands of the re-
publicans. Oakland Enquirer.

LEMON FOR SUPERVISOR.

The fight for supervisor in town
ship five is one of the warmest con-
tests in this campaigns 1t is a tri-
angular battle. R. M. Ford, a
former treasurer of Amador county,
has thrown himself into the arena as
an independent candidate. Fred B.
LEMON, present incumbent, is a
candidate for reelection on the re-
publican ticket. He has made one
of the best supervisors Amador
county has ever had. He has de-
voted his whole time to the duties of
his Office, and no one can dispute
that he has done his work con-
scientiously. 1t is common talk
that better results have been ac-
hieved on the public roads in town
ship five, considering the amount of
money expended, than in any other
part of the county, owing to the
close personal attention given by
supervisor LeMoin to this branch of
his duties. In every other way he
has proved a faithful officer. His
fidelity to his trust has created an
tagonism, as straightforward,
honest course always will. 1t is a
mistaken idea that only departures
from the path of duty awaken oppo-
sition. We have that faith in the
citizens of township five, irrespective
of party, that they will see to it that
supervisor LeMoin is kept in the po-
sition he has filed so we'll for an
other term. Any other outcome
would be unfortunate indeed. We
are saying nothing against the fit
ness of the other candidates. They
might or might not do equally as
well as LeMoin has done. But the
fact remains, F. B. LeMoin is tried
man; he has been in office one term;
he seeks reelection more as an
Endorsement by his constituents of
his official career, rather than the
remuneration attached to the super
visorship. To turn him down would
be like fixing the seal of condemna-
tion upon fidelity in public life. The
Ledger appeals to the people of
township five to show their appreci-
alton of honest service by re-electing
supervisor LeMoin by substantial
majority.

TULLocH ON THE STUMP.

The Placerville Nugget, inreport-
ing a democratic meeting held in
that town last week, which was ad-
dressed by L. R. Tulloch, candidate
for state senator, says:
'Mr. Tulloch devoted consider
able time to editor Webb, of Jack
son, whom he referred to in dis
paraging terms"
The editor of the Ledger ought to
feel highly complimented iu occupy
ing so much of the time of the SEN
atorial aspirant trotted out by
democracy in this district. He GER
tainly was not aware that he was
such an important issue in the cam
paign as 20 be thus entitled to spe-
cial prominence at the hands of
would-be Bourbon orators. We
hope the distinguished candidate will
continue to overlook the fact that
issues of state and national import
ance are involved in the contest for
senator. Some twelve years ago he
was also cavorting around endeavor-
ing to corrall votes for senator, and
in his wisdom he adopted similar
tactics, and discovered on the morn
ing following the election that he
was the extinguished candidate.
History repeats itself. Some peo-
pie cannot learn by experience. If
pitching into the editor of the Led
ger pleases L. R. Tulloch, we are
satisfied. He has opened his cam
paign very auspiciously; we venture
to predict that the outcome will be
in strict alignment with the OPEN
ing. That is in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things. The as
pirant for political favors who starts
out on the assumption that the peo-
pie are fools is only fooling himself.

Proposed New Road.

The Standard Electric Company
have subscribed $500 for the construc-
tlon OF wagon road from Markleville
to Blue Lakes, provided the residents
OF Markleville and Alpine county will
contribute like amount, or sufficient
to complete it. The road will run from
Markleville to Grover Hot Springs, and
strike the Thornburg Pass. Only
about five miles of new road will have
to be built. and will, when completed,
shorten the distance from Gard nerville
to Blue Lakes some or miles, besides
making a better highway than the
present one. 1t is expected that work
on the new road will soon commence.

Varied and wonderful are the
pleas which are being made to voters
by the combine for further con-
tinuance in power. Just one more
term" is standing joke. It has
been worn threadbare. The people
have been fooled too often by that
cry, to be caught sleeping this trip.
AS substitute, the poverty plea is
urged. Think of it-one who has
fed at the crib for over decade, and
drawn princely salary, wants votes
because he has made nothing out of
his office. Instead of being reason
for unemployment, it amounts to a
strong argument for his defeat.
Another candidate wants support be-
cause he has made a good officer.
OF course, the voters will take his
word as conclusive on that point.
Assuming the statement to be true,
for the sake of argument, citizens
will still think it is about time to
look around for other material out
of which to make equally good coun-
ty officials.

BIG ELECTRIC WIRE BREAKS.


A dispatch from San Jose dated
Sept. '26 says: The breaking of the
heavy aluminium wire of the Stand
ard Electric Company, between
Santa Clara and College Park, which
brings its big current from Blue
Lakes, caused havoc and destruction
along the lines from Mission San
Jose to Redwood City. In falling it
struck the Sunset Telephone leads,
and in San Jose many hundreds of
telephones were burned out. 1t is
believed the wire was severed bv a
rock or rifle ball from the hand of
some miscreant. A voltage of 40, 900
IS carried on the wire, and that
there was not serious loss of life is
almost miracle
All the trunk telephone lines here
were burned out, all long distance
business for San Francisco being
handled by way of Stockton and
Niles. The Standard Company's
transmission station here had to be
shut down and the engine of the
United Gas and Electric Company
brought into use. Switch houses
and emergency telephone booths
along the line are in ashes, aud at
Redwood City the switches, fuse
blocks and other apparatus, are a
mass of melted copper. From
Mountain View it is reported the
handsome summer residence of John
L. Sabin- president of the Sunset
Telephone Company, in tide foothills
near that place, was burned to the
ground from fire resulting from
the breaking wire. Loss will be
about $4,000.

The Call of Oct. l contains the fol-
lowing account of the wedding of a
young lady we'll known in Amador and
Calaveras counties, who left Sutter
Creek few years back and went to
the city:
A most charming wedding took place
last night, when Fred P. Plagemann
was united in marriage to Miss Minnie
N. Nichols. The ceremony was per-
formed at the residence OF the groom g
father, 81 Larkiu street, and was wit
messed by large number of friends of
the young couple.
The house was profusely decorated
for the occasion. Beautiful flowers
were tastefully arranged in the halls
and parlor of the house, and the happy
couple stood under a bower of roses
while the words of union were spoken.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock theorchestra
struck up wedding march, and the
bridal party marched slowly forward.
Rev. j. 81. Schroeder united the pair.
Mr.. Plagemann is well-known busi-
ness man, and is widely known through
out the state. He is the son of H.
Plagemann, the prominent cigar mer-
chant, and holds an interest in the
Golden West hotel.
The bride was a reigning belle in
West Point, Calaveras county, and has
host of friends. After short honey.
moon in the northern part of the state,
Mr.. and Mrs. Plagemann will reside at

w. G. Ralston is making his po-
litical canvass through Mono and
Alpine counties, in company with
Jud G. Brusie. He is received
everywhere with the warmest greet
ing. The campaign policy adopted
by the two candidates for senatorial
honors is significant. Ralston start
ed from the southern end of the dis
trict, and is working northward-
upward. Tulloch, on the other hand,
made his bow at the north end, and
is working southward-downward
Republicans are not complaining at
the prophetic import of these tactics.
Amador ledger., 1902-10-03

Education, however, to be effective,
must be along practical lines. When
a boy reaches the age of fourteen or
fifteen years-when he graduates
from the common schools-it is time
his education took on a practical
character with a view to his life
occupation. If the youth is destined
to be stonemason, carpenter or
a blacksmith, or any occupation re-
lated to the mechanical arts, every
year spent in acquiring a general
smattering of knowledge such as is
usually taught in high schools and
colleges, is so much time thrown
away. 1t is a well-kuown fact, that
after young man passes the age of
say twenty, his chances of becoming
an expert in certain callings are
greatly reduced. There is deft-
ness belonging to boyhood days
which belongs to no other period of
life. If taken advantage of at the
proper time, it will stay with the
individual through life, but it can
not be acquired afterward. Itseems
to us radically wrong for a young
man to be educated up to his majori-
ty without the faintest idea as to his
particular life work. The notion
that the longer an individuals school
life is extended, the better he is
capable of making headway in the
world is fatal error. 1t will apply
to some extent to those destined for
professional life, but to no others.
Not one in ten is destined for the
professions. So that where one
might be benefited, nine would be
injuriously affected. All professions
are overloaded to-day. We see
everywhere, graduates of high schools
and colleges, crowding the ranks of
manual labor.
We are strongly of the opinion
that constitutional amendment No.
4 ought to be voted down. for the
reason that it would add immensely
to the cost of our school system, that
the cost would be unjustly and un-
equally distributed, and above all, if
adopted, it would not enhance, but
rather detract from the practical
efficiency of our educational system.
While on this subject we may say,
that Amador county ought to have
one high school, supported by pub
lie money, within her borders. There
is taxable wealth enough to support
one such institution literally. Per-
haps, Jackson and the close-by
school districts, such as Oneida,
Aetna, Middle Bar, Charity, Stony
Creek, Middle Fork, Clinton, Slab
town and New York Ranch, might
unite to form q high school district,
and the revenue would be ample to
support such a school fairly well.
The Ledger would earnestly support
a movement in either of these direc-
tions, but a general high school
fiasco, like that which the amend
ment proposes, we cannot advocate.

A London physician of large practice
asserts that owing to his extremely
sensitive sense OF smell he can foretell
the coming of death forty eight hours.
He says that when a patient comes
within two days of death n peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow I'm its
progress, the odor makes its appear
ance as much as three days before
hand, but when the disease is of the
galloping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning He at
tributes the smell to modification,
which begins within the body before
life is extinct.
Dogs are thought to have this sense,
for hunting hounds have been observed
TO begin a mournful baying a day or
two before their masters died.
