Local Reporter and Collector.
We are pleased to ANNOUNCE that

We are pleased to announce that we
have secured the services of F. H.
Duden as local reporter, collector, and
general outside man for the Ledger.
Mr.. Duden is well known not only to
the people of Jackson, but throughout
the county. He has lived among us
several years, and his reputation for
integrity and attention to business is
well eSta blished. We commend him
to our patrons, as worthy of their full
est confidence and support, and any
business entrusted to him will be
promptly attended to and duly appreci-
ated. The Ledger intends to make a
thorough canvass of every section of
the county during the next few months,
for all classes of work connected with
the newspaper and job printing busi-
ness. Mr.. Duden is the right man for
this mission. We want to see the Led
ger in every home in Amador county,
1t has already by far the largest eircu-
latiOn OF any paper in the county, but
we want to extend its circulation and
influence. Our arrangements with Mr..
Duden are such that he is just as much
interested financially in the success of
the Ledger as its proprietor. We be-
speak for him favorable considerations
and liberal share of patronage.

The Case Against Adams.

Jack Adams was arrested over a
month ago for burglarizing the store
of F. Cademartori, and stealing there
from over S5 in small coin. There was
a general indisposition to prosecute on
the grave charge of felony, this being
his first offense. Mr.. Cademartori de-
clined to swear out complaint on the
subordinate charge of petty larceny.
Sheriff Norman, If compelled to take
action, would only make complaint for
the graver charge. In this dilemma
the matter has dragged along, until
the sheriff notified parties interested
that action would have to be taken
inside of three days, otherwise he
would take up the matter. This
brought things to focus. On Tues
day A. Caminetti swore to complaint
for petty larceny. The defendant
pleaded guilty before Judge Goldner
the same day, and was fined 800 or
100 days in jail. He is still in Jail.

A Good Woman Gone.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Christine
Hoffman took place from the family
residence in jackson at 2 p. m. We'd
nesday, April s. The service at the
house was conducted by Rev. G. II.
Van Vliet OF the M. E. church. jack
son Rebekah Lodge No. So, l. o. o. F.,
OF which order the deceased was a
worthy member, attended in body,
and escorted the remains to the grave,
administering the last sad rites which
the living can render to the dead. The
esteem in which Mrs. Hoffman was
held by the people of jackson and
vicinity was manifested by the many
friends who came to pay tribute to
her true character known to all. The
horal offerings were many and beauJi-
full, and the grave was entirely covered
with these tokens OF love and respect.
The pallbearers were w. F. Detert,
j. 81. Langhorst, Jas. Meehan, Chas.
Meek, L. Poggi, and L. j. Fontenrose.
Mrs. Hoffman, whose maiden name
way Christine Klamn, was born in
Bavaria, Germany, March 2, 1886.
She came to California direct from the
country of her birth, in May, 1861, and
was married at Diamond Springs Sept.
18th of the same year to Frank Hoff-
man, who was well known liveryman
of Jackson at that time, and who now
mourns the death of good, true and
loving wife. Those who knew Mrs.
Hoffman during the many years which
she has lived in Jackson, can speak of
her in words of kindness only. Not
only was her home life an ideal one,
but her gentle influence caused all to
know her and to love her. The acts of
charity which she rendered to the poor
and needy will ever be remembered by
the many to whom she has given aid,
and yet her charity was so modest that
her acts of benevolence we're unknown
to many of her dearest friends.
Mrs. Hoffman had been membe of
jackson Rebekah Lodge No. So a good
many years, and had always been inter-
ested in the welfare of the lodge, but
attended their gatherings very little of
late. Mrs. Hoffman had been in feeble
health for several months. She has
not been out of her house since the 9th
of Septembe ber, when she came in town
to witness the Native Sons celebration.
Heart failure was the direct cause of
her death, and while it was known that
her sutferings were intense at times,
she was neyer known to utter one word
of complaint. While her death was
not unexpected it was shock to her
husband and relatives. She passed
away peacefully and quietly at her
home at 4:30 p. m. Sunday. April 5th.
Mrs. Hoffman leaves fond husband
to mourn her death, also sister and
brother in Germany, a brother in
Cleveland, Ohio, three nieces in Jack
son, Mrs. DR.. Schacht, Christina Klamn
and Christina Rickert, and three
nephews, Anton Rickert, Will Kesler,
and Jacob Griesbach.

A False Rumor.

A rumOr was circulated on the streets
OF jackson last Sunday evening that
Fred Lebhardt and Ed. Turner, both
Native Sons and well known through
out this county, were killed by natives
in Central America, where they were
employed in a mine. Senator E. c..
VOORHEES, of Sutter Creek is the pur-
chasing and forwarding representative
OF the mine in question, and has in
formed the Ledger that he has re-
ceived no such news, and cannot under
stand how such report started. For
ii there was any truth in the matter he
would be the first to hear it. The last
word that was received by him from
the mine was early in March, and
everything was peaceful and quiet.

The Visit of Mr. Hearst and His
 Quests.

The congressman who are coming 10 Arizona as the guests of their fellow member, MT. William R. Hearst of New York, are not coming in an official ca pacity and there cannot be. therefore, any criticism of them or of MT. Hearst for arranging their time table to suit themselves. But it is only fair to point out that if it was absurd to sup pose that Senator Beveridge and his official party were unable to gather in fouc days information that would en- able them to do justice to Arizona. It is equally foolish to expect that MT. Hearst and his unofficial party can do any better in two days. The Beveridge party came out with the determination of reporting against statehood, and they so repoted. The Hearst party comes with the intention of reporting port And that is about all there IS to it.
 A mere glance at the itinerary of Mir. Hearst and his guests makes it clear that they can get nothing more than q glimpse of Arizona Their first day in the territory will passed at the Grand Canyon. That night they pro- ceed to Prescott, arriving at the noun tain city Saturday morning at o'clock or little later. Immediately after breakfast, or at half past nine, they leave Prescott for Phoenix. They reach here at 2:3O in the afternoon, and leave for Tucson the same night. They get breakfast at Tucson, and immedi- ately thereafter-at half-past nine, again-they pull out for Fl Paso. They will see practically nothing of our ag- riculture and stock raising, and will get nothing more than a fieeting glimpse of a mine or two, if they get that much. When they return to their respective homes they will have leapn- ed no more about this territory than they might have ascertained in an hours reading of reliable literature on Arizona.
 But MT. Hearst and his party will be welcome, indeed. for they are our friends
