fortunate man was an old resident of
the Hill, and we'll known in Jackson
and other parts of this county.
The first snowfall of the season visit
ed Jackson Sunday afternoon. 1t was
barely sufficient to cover the ground,
aud not enough to afford the youngster
any sport in the pastime of snow balling.
To the east of us, however, there was
heavy fall. The entire country above
New York Ranch was wrapped in a
mantle of white. Six inches fell at
Pine Grove on Saturday, and as much

snowballing in Jackson.

The youngsters had quite a time on
Main street last Tuesday aftern oon
while the snowstorm was on. Every
passer-by, whether afoot or horseback,
received volley of snowballs. Wilford

the missiles, one of which cut a hole
about four inches long in his hard felt
hat. Captain Middlemiss also received

Foreclosure Sale.

On Saturday H. d. Emerson; as
commissioner, sold under a decree OF
foreclosure, the Vogt tract of 40 acres
near Electra. The mortgagee was Belle
Leslie, the amount due being some
thing over $500. The property was
sold to V. Podesta for the sum of
S612. 81. 1t is the impression that the
property was purchased for the Stand
ard Electric Company, as the land joins
the company's property. The pur-
chase price was paid over Monday
morning. The Judgment debtor has
one year within which to redeem.
he has some mining claims in the
vicinity, which, however, are not
affected by the suit, not being included

Hathaway Dies of His Injuries.

Benjamin Hathaway, the young
miner who was caved on in the Oneida
mine about two weeks ago, died at four
O'Clock Saturday morning at the resi-
dence of superintendent Hampton near
the mine. The attending physicians
entertained little hope of his survival
from the outset, as the spinal column
and other vital organs were seriously
injured. The remains were taken to
lone Sunday morning for transporta-
ton by rail to Nevada City, Cal. Tile
deceased's mother, brother, and sister
accompanied the body, and the funeral
took place at the Protestant cemetery,
Nevada City, Tuesday afternoon.

First Recruit for State Prison.


Sheriff Norman made his first trip
with prisoner sentenced to serve a
term in the state penitentiary last Sat-
urday. On that day he took down to
Folsom prison James H. Hoskins, to
serve term of IA years for burglary of
the Mint saloon in Sutter Creek on the
morning of January 2lst. He pleaded
guilty to the charge, and received the
above stated sentence. The penalty is
differently regarded-some being in
clined to look upon it as somewhat
severe. 1t was an exceptional case,
however. He had just been liberated
from the county jail, and had scarcely
got settled down to his recovered
liberty when he made this new break
in crime. Although young in years
being about 20-he showed clearly that
he was criminally inclined, robbing his
own home when he found that the
booty from the burglariZed saloon was
not equal to his Observation-Disclosures
The fact that he pleaded guilty to the
charge did not tell in mitigation of the
offense. All things considered, we
think it will have a salutary effect in
dealing out punishment without stint
to those who are disposed to adopt a
criminal career. The young man took
the sentence without showing much
feeling. He hardly realized the life he
had before him for the next decade.
With all credits for good behavior, he
will have to spend the next ten years
at hard labor for the state.

Standard Electric workmen Leave.

About thirty linemen belonging to
the Standard Electric construction
gang left jackson for San Francisco
this morning for rest of two weeks
Their work in this neigh borhood is not
yet completed, but owing to the recent
bad weather the material ordered from
the city with which to finish their
labors has not arrived, conseq uently the
to lay off for while. Two gangs of
fifteen men each have been working in
this neighborhood for the past two
months, stringing wires, etc., one
working between Electra and the old
plant, under William Hasley, and the
other under NJ. Finnigan on the old
Amador power line. Towards the end
of this month the stringing of wires
and erection of poles will be COM
menced on the Calaveras circuit, whic h
will run from Electra to Angels. This
work will occupy about eight weeks
time. 1t is intended to put thirty men
on as soon as material can be brought
from the city. a circuit between the
leila mine and the Sutter Creek power
line will be commenced in the near
future, and also one connecting the
Fremont mine with the Amador power
line. The work at the Sutter Greek
transformer is progressing favorably
under the directions of engineer Bosky,
who expects to have everything there
in thorough working order by the 1st
of March.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure bilousness, jaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sec
retions, moving the bowels gently, yet
etfecually, and giving such tone and
strength to the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble is
removed entirely. These famous little
pills exert decided tonic effect upon
the organs involved, and if their use is
counted for few days there will be NO
return of trouble. Kerr's Pharmacy,

While the rainfall is more than two
inches greater than last year for the
corresponding period, still it is hardly
probable that the precipitation of last
season win be exceeded in the outcome.
1t must be remembered that February
OF last year was the wettest month of
the season, over eight inches falling
that month, with fifteen days of rain.
1t was the longest spell of continuous
raips we have experienced for many
years. Over seven inches fell after the
Sth of the month. 1t is not at all
likely that such a record will be equaled
this year, especially after the heavy
rains of the past month.

VOICE OF AUTHORITY
Speaks in Praise of the Industrial
Work of the Minneapolis
Schools.
Views of DR.. Michael E. Sadler on
Ultimate Benefits of Such
Work.

Superintendent of Schools G. M. Jordan
has letter from DR.. Michael e. Sadler Of
the London school board, thanking him for
the rare specimens of drawing, painting
and industrial work from the Minneapolis
schools recently sent to London. What
DR.. Sadler says in praise of the collection
is of peculiar interest just now, when the
industrial phase Of school work is so
sharply criticized in certain quarters.
After commenting on the important part
Industrial work is now playing in popular
education and of the need of widening it's
scope to keep pace with modern ideas, DR..
Sadler predicts that America is to be, the
stage on which the new education is to
reach it's greatest development.
Il am personally much interested.'
writes DIR. Sadler Gin your methods of
teaching drawing and painting, Of which
the specimens you have sent are such eX-
cellent illustrations, and believe most
heartily in the educational value of these
means Of cultivating the power of self
expression. 1t has long been my belief
| that America may be the scene Of a great
artistic movement, the outcome Of a natu-
| raj form of democratic life under modern
| conditions, and during my journey
| through the United States I was much
| impressed by the steps which are being
taken in the public schools. especially OF
Minneapolis, to prepare the way for ma
tional appreciation of the value and beau
ty of artistic work.
! Dr. Sadler added that he was about tc
show the exhibit to the Marquis Of Lon
donderry. president Of the board of edu-
| cation, and that London teachers were
greatly interested in the collection.
