Rubbing with lininents, blistering, the APP

will produce counter-irritation IS good for
external treatment OF Rheumatism, but
these simple remedies do notreach the seat
of the disease nor touch the real cause,
and relief is therefore onlv temporary
Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and
other irritant poisous In the blood, and
as it circuletes through the system, these

London, Dec. at is officially an
Eounced here that Great Britain and
Germany are taking naval measures to
secure satisfaction from Venezuela
and that for this purpose German
Warships have already assembled off
the coast of Venezuela and those of
Great Britain will shortly be there"
No attempt is made to reconcile
Great Britain's attitude with the news
from Berlin that President Castro is
willing to meet the demands made up
on Venezuela. The reason for the ag-
gressive measures is declared to be
the fact that no overtures have yet
been received from Venezuela toward
meeting that country's obligations by
ordinary methods.
The Associated Press is able to say
that the European governments are
still in ignorance of the suggested
scheme for a settlement which has been
submitted to the authorities at Wash
ingtOn.
The present intention of Great Brit
ain and Germany is to make a naval
demonstration against Venezuela with
the probable seizure of customs houses,
though this is dependent upon develop
ments. The British foreign Office is
still absolutely in the dark regarding
any statement made to the German
minister at Caracas and is somewhat
mystified on the subject of Germany's
intentions

CONTEST MAY
BE THE RESULT
Opinion of Attorney General Re-
garding School Tuition.
SOME OPPOSITION is SHOWN
CLAIMED THAT IT Is IN CON-
FLICF WITH THE LAW.

RARENTS who have children Of the
age eligible to the public schools
in this city and in other parts Of
the state may contest the decision of
the attorney. general relative to the dis
tricts in which the children must at
tend schools. The opinion of the at
tOrney general was in opposition TO the
estab lished practice which has been ac-
cepted by the schools of the city, and
a legal fight may ,ensue to determine
whether or not the decision will hold
good in view of the state school law
which gives parents permission to send
their children to schools in the districts
in which they are taxpayers
a case has been taken before State
tendent Ashton which may be used by
concerning the opinion of the attorney
general. A patron of the public schools
who lives in Union, owns property in
East Jordan on which he is taxpay-
er, and has accordingly sent his chill
dren to the East Jordan school. which
is nearest his home. The Union school
is a mile and a half from his home
while the other requires a walk fer his
children of only one-third that dis
lance.
When the opinion OF the attorney gen
eTal was made known, his children were
barred from the East Jordan school and
forced to attend the Union school He
at once sought the advice of the school
authorities, but was Informed that the
decision was final and that the matter
had passed beyond their control Ac-
cOrdingly he proposes to contest the at
tOrney generals decision.

Ground For Contest.

HIS ground for a contest, he claims,
IS the fourteenth section and ninth
chapter of the state school law. which
provides that: Every school district
shall be open for admission free of
charge to all children living in the dis
trlct over 6 years of age and under Is.
and to children within the required age
whose father, mother or guardian is a
taxpayer in the said district"
The decision of the attorney general
was rendered in a case which was
brought up in ogden, and which was
submitted to him for decision. Several
other cases similar have been reported
10 the school authorities, and threaten
to also contest the legality of the de-
clsion. Before the decision was rem
oered II was generally accepted by the
school authorities that any one who
paid taxes in a certain district was en-
titled TO free tuition in the schools, but
the practice has been abolished.
IN Ogden q man who desired to send
his children to a certain school Dur-
chased a small piece of property and.
according to the custom in vogue, de
manded the admission of his children to
the school in the district An investi-
cation revealed the fact that he was
paying in annual taxes the sum of s
cents, and on the strength of that out
lay demanded the admission Of his chill
dren to the school. They We're admit
ted, but have been excluded since the

Body Exhumed.

Last Tuesday the body of John
fullen, which has reposed in the Jack
son cemetery since October, 1895, was
exhumed by the undertaken, W. E.
Kent, at the request of Mrs. Fullen.
widow OF deceased, who is now living
with her daughter in Vallejo. With
the assistance of W. Schroeder the
coffin was redeemed from It's dark i'm
prisonment, and raised to the surface.
The remains were shipped to lone on
Wednesday morning, and from there
by railroad to San Francisco, to be
finally deposited in Cypress, Lawn
Cemetery in San Mateo county. Be-
fore leaving Jackson, however, the
cotfn lid was lifted, for the purpose of
inspecting the features to ascertain
what ravages the lapse of seven years
had wrought. This action was
prompted by scientific and laudable
motives. The undertaken was sur
prised at the state of preservation the
body was in. The eyes had fallen in,
and the nose also had partially disap-
peared, but Notwithstanding this the
lineaments were sufficiently marked to
enable one who had known the de-
ceased in life to identify the corpse.
The beard and whiskers remained in
tact. No Odor was emitted from the
coffin, which serves to show the bene-
fcial effect of the process OF en- balm
ing bodies before burial now almost
universally practiced by undertakers.
The blood-which in life is the vital
fluid, and in death the main source of
decomposition-is withdrawn from the
body, and embalming fluid injected
into the arteries and veins. In the
sleep OF seven years every vestige OF
moisture or fluid had been extracted
from the body and little remained save
the integument of skin covering the
bony structure. The coffin taken from
the grave was inclOsed in an ordinary
box and shipped, without the require
ment usually demanded by the railroad
authorities of being encased in
metallic coffin. The railroad COM
panies do not Insist upon this provision
in cases whore two years or over has
elapsed since the date of death. 1t is
assured that in that time, owing to
methods of interment now in vogue, all
offensive odor and danger to public
health have. disappeared.

COUNTY POLITICS.

In face of the early meeting of the
nominating conventions, more inter-
est is being taken in county politics.
1t might have been expected that
when the term of all county offices
was made four years instead of two,
as formerly, candidates would be-
come plentiful; inasmuch as the in
crease of official term was equal
to material increase of salary, by
dispensing with the biannual elec-
tion expenses. But this result has
not been brought about, and there
is dearth of aspirants for Office.
This must not be attributed to in
a5aq az -mpensation. The truth
is t7ers : a good fat salary attached
10 &! nest eTary Office, and many
ms % zach side of the political
are who are well qualified, would
be glad to fill the positions at the
remuneration fixed. The drawback
Is that under existing conditions de-
sirable men shrink from engaging in
political life. The expenses incident
to a canvass, the uncertainty of the
outcome, and above all the demora-
lizing influence of campaign as
ordinarily conducted, are the factors
which guard the gateway of county
politics. A reformation is urgently
needed, and it behooves all good
citizens to adopt measures to insure
change. The idea prevails that a
man cannot run for a county office
in Amador county without spending
small fortune. This is debasing
notion, a libel upon the voters, who
cannot render more important SER
vice to the cause of good govern
ment than by stamping it as false
by their verdict at the ballot-box in
November.

The Ledger is authorized to state
that I. K. Norman is not, and will
not be under any circumstances, a
candidate for sheriff. This decision
on his part will be regretted by the
masses of republican voters, but it
must now be accepted as a finality.
A suitable candidate to make this
run-a race in which the republicans
have brighter prospect of victory
than for the past decade-must now
be sought elsewhere Seek out your
man, gentlemen "a sure winner

ministration as we have been affiict-
ed with for the past ten years.

TRACTION ENGINES FOR HAUL.
ING FREIGHT.

H. Bradley, the shake-maker of
near Hams station, was in Jackson
Sunday. He reports that there is
much activity in the location of tim
Der land in El Dorado county, Just
across the county line near Hams.
The lumber company are running
traction engines to the timber belt,
and transporting the lumber, 40, 900
feet at load, to Placerville, to be
shipped from there by railroad to
Sacramento and other points. Quite
an industry is springing up from
this source. The traction engines
work to a charm. 1t seems to us
that the residents of Amador county
ought to wake up to the Importance
of introducing this method of trans
portation in Amador county. The
cars will easily hold 10 tons each,
and with four cars attached to an
engine load of forty tons can be
hauled at trip. We see no reason
why this msthod could not be sue
cessfully introduced not only in the
lumber business of the eastern sec
tion of Amador, but also in the haul
ing Of freight between Jackson and
lone. If We cannot get a railroad,
the organization of a company to in
troduce traction engines seems to be
the next best thing. 1t ought to
cut the price of freight between
Jackson and lone at least one third.
and then make fair profit for the
stockholders. We believe stock
company organized for this purpose
would have no difficulty in disposing
of stock. II would solve the road
problem, as the wheels of these cars
and engines are broad and would
make instead of cut up the roads.
Who will start scheme of this kind.

The political announcement of
John F. Clute as candidate for the
republican domination for supervisor
in township three appears in this
issue. Mr.. Clute is native of Vol
cano, graduate of Hastings Law
College, and has had considerable
business experience. With sound
judgment, excellent moral character,
and good business attributes, he
would no doubt make a good super
visor. 1t is not the province of the
Ledger to urge the claim of any man
aspiring for office on the republican
side. The republicans of district
three know the popular strength of
their aspirants better than we do,
and we confide in their Judgment.
We would merely say, however,

and Volcano for the honor of fur
pishing the nominee, that it is good

ATTEND THE CAUCUS.

Republican caucuses will be held
in all the precincts of Amador coun-
ty tomorrow night, to select dele
gates to be voted for at the primaries
to be held on Tuesday evening next.
The ticket SO selected will constitute
the regular republican ticket. 1t is
supposed to be a fair and full ex-
preston of the wishes of members of
the party in the respective precincts.
Any ticket gotten up against the
nominees of the caucus will be looked
upon as an opposition ticket. Re
publicans, therefore, must realize
the Importance of showing their
strength at the caucus gathering.
Much of the trouble that arises with
in party ranks is generally traceable
to neglect in attending the caucus.
There are a few active spirits in
political affairs to be found in every
precinct. These of course assemble
at the conclave. Whether few or
many assemble, definite action must
be taken in naming ticket. If
owing to the apathy of the masses
of the voters ticket is selected by
handful-often not more than
enough to constitute the primary
ticket-the cry is ap to he made if
the nominees do not meet the ex-
pectations of every voter, hat the
ticket is of th I'D stersotyped order.
In the coming campaign the repub-
licans want harmony. They must
have harmony 20 win. True repub-
licans will forgo anything-except
surrender vital principle-to in
sure harmony. With united front
and an acceptable ticket we ought
to win. The caucus is the initial
step in governmental affairs. Let
us see to it that no cause of offense
is given this year either on the
ground OF attendance or the full and
free expression of the wishes of the
party in the ticket selected.
