NOTICE.

When you are about to buy suit
of clothes, it would be absurd to go
to a carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you. To reasonable people it will
appear that to buy a suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from a
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this l guarantee.
Remember mine is the only place in
Jackson where you can have this
done free of charge.
Have just received brand new
line of spring and summer goods all
ready made and to be made up to
order. Mems, Youths and child
ren's clothing of the latest styles.
Trusting to receive a call from
you, and thanking you for your past
favors, and soliciting the same in
the future,

OFFERING REWARD.

SL>ritf Gregory appeared before
the board of supervisors last Mon
day and urged that body to offer a
reward of $3.50 for the apprehension
of young Gates, who he positively
asserts committed the Piccardo rob
berry. The board, after carefully
considering the matter, refused to
comply with the request by unan-
imous vote. We believe they acted
wisely in so doing, While the crime
referred to stands out in boldness of
design and nerve of its execution
without a parallel in the criminal
annals of the county, it would be
stepping outside of the beaten track
of precedent for the county to offer
a reward for the apprehension of
the supposed perpetrator Rewards
have been offered by this county in
cases of capital crime, but as far as
our recollection serves US, for moth
ing less. To offer a reward for a
lesser offense would virtually throw
wide open the doors of the treasury
to appeals of the same import in all
felony cases, Every lover of good
government will rejoice to see the
bold offender in this particular case
within the grasp of the law; at the
same time, few would uphold the
supervisors for offering a big reward
in the matter. The reward system
in criminal cases is not without
grave objections. We have had ex-
perience of its pernicious influences
in connection with crimes committed
in this county; crimes the enormity
of which justified the offering of a
reward-if the system is juStifable
at all. The cause of Justice would
not be promoted by extending the
head money system, neither will it
be materially injured in this or any
other county by adhering to the
policy of refusing to apply it to
cases below the grade of murder.

GET REGISTERED.

The question of registration is a
serious one. Its Importance in the
coming campaign dwarfs all other
matters. The apathy in this regard
is pheuominal. Not only in ANA
dor county, but throughout the
state this Indifference is noticed, and
is the subject of discussion by politi.
cal bodies. The all-important con-
sideration in Amador for republi-
cans is to get the voters of that
party in the voting line. We have
no fear of the result at the polls pro-
viding republicans do not lose any
greater percentage of votes by
reason of non-registration than the
democrats. Republicans not only
have the numerical strength to
break up the ruling clique that has
held sway for these many years, but
there is the disposition to do so, and
this tendency is not confined to the
republican party. There ought to
be ample opportunity afforded by
the officers concerned to get citizens
registered with the least possible in
convenience. 1t does not look we'll
to show the partisan spirit too plain
ly in this matter. We observe that
the notice in regard to re-registration
is being published in one solitary
democratic paper, and in lone. In
that advertisement it is noticeable
that the deputies for registration
purposes are composed exclusively of
members of the democratic party.
1t is also noticeable that such i'm
portant towns as Amador City and
Plymouth have no resident deputy
authorized to register voters. This
is entirely out of joint with the
practice in other counties. In
Contra Costa county for instance,
towns like Crockett and Antioch are
given three and four deputies, and
it is not to be assumed that they are
all of the same political faith. This
is as it should be. The official that
performs his duty in this respect in
a broad and liberal spirit, with the
sole view of getting every qualified
voter on the great register is far
more likely to intrench himself in the
good opinion of citizens, regardless
of party, than the one who endeavors
to use mis- Office in the interest of the
democratic party, or any other
political organization. A broad
gauge policy in registration bust
ness is the only one that will COM
mend itself to American citizens.
The republican county central COM
mittee should take a hand in this
matter without delay. That COM
mittee, into whose hands the inter
ests of the party are confded, can
perform no greater service to their
party than by taking some steps to
see that republicans are registered.
If necessary, it should hire a suit
able man to go all over the county,
clothed with authority to register
voters, and call on them personally
for that purpose, paying all his
travelling expenses while on this
mission. The question of the small
registration fee should be allowed to
cut no figure in this arrangement.
Let the fee go to the clerk. All re.
publicans want is to have the same
opportunity, on a smaller scale per-
haps, to register their men that the
democrats have. If democratic of.
ficials are disposed to place a
stumbling block in the way of max
ing an amicable arrangement of that
kind, let them show their hand, an6
let the voters pass Judgment upon
their conduct at the polls.

Faust for the evening performance
OF this comp1nys production OF
Faust" in Richmond recently. The News
had this to say:
u. Saunders Gordon. who is 1T the head
of the Gordon Shay Grand Opera Com
pany, has only to busy himself paying
expenses this season, and then for sea-
sons to c)me rake IN he shekels. lie
has done the very thing that the people
of the South will yet rise up ana can
him blessed for-esta blished really nne
grand opera company for the road nne
voices, fine scenic effects, bright and
fresh costumes, and a chorus That VIII
soon settle down to work and make tne
thing perfect--fr om our point OF view.
ut Is not necessary to go into de-
tailed criticism or study of the voices
OF the principals, although the voices
could stand It, The main thing is that
the prospect Of the South having grand
opera every season as II did in the dear
old Abbott days. seems fine. People who
really love music hunger for 1t when 1t
is denied them, and whom a good man
ager comes along and furnishes them
good music they pay their money and
bless him.
THE performance OF Faust last night
was continually interrupted with ap-
plause. The gratitude of the fine audi
ence present was very evident.
The baritone oa this years company is
Albert Here IS a delicious treat for us.
May he stay with the company through
years to come, as Pruett did with Alb
bolt, and may he just keep singing to
the delight OF us until we get old and
he gets old. and when his voice thins
or cracks with age we will not mind,
but recall the delights of the past. His
Valentine last night was superb.
THE role of Marguerite must be Miss
Shays strong part l remember leaving
the Metropolitan opera house in New
York when CaIve sang Marguerite be-
cause Calve only sang it. Moreover the
great diva did not wear the blonde wig.
That was horrible.
Miss Shay played the sweet and the
sorrowful Marguerite of Goethe. She
felt what she was doing, she felt VIII At
she was singing Her voice in the lower
register reminds one of the magnificent
resonance of an old leloved cello under
the fingers of an inspired musician. 1t
was fine. very fine. The people applaud
ed her long and loud.
Miss Shay is going to be the Abbott
of this day and generation, and while
Abbott may have been dim light beside
the great ones OF the metropolitan SHe
was closer to the hearts of the people of
the South than ever woman was before
or since. We loved her not only because
she was so good and pure in her life
but because she sang straight into the
hearts of her hearers and soothed and
rested many a tired and restless spirit
There is no use picking out flaws
Why? Because here we have the best
grand opera tha. we have ever had in
a travelling company, and 1t is a time to
rejoice. l am sure from the reception
given Faust last night that the Gordon
Shay Company will go on its way with
the sincerest wishes for prosperity and
honors from its Richmond friends"
