with chronic indigestion and nervous
debility, - writes F. J. Green, of Lam
caster. N. H., No remedy helped me
until L began using Electric Bitters,
which did me more good than all the
medicines I ever used. They have also
kept my wife in excellent health for
years. She says Electric Bitters are
just splendid for female troubles; that
they are grand tonic and invigorator
for weak, run down women. No other

Death of a Pioneer.

John G. Fisher, one of the pioneers
of Amador county, died at the home of
the Kings Daughters in Oakland on
March p. He was taken to that insti-
tuition the week before from his home
in Drytown, owing to the increasing
infrmities of old age. He was one of
the early settlers of Drytown, and not
withstanding all the vicissitudes Of the
miners life in early days, he made Dry
town his home continuously for the
long period OF 50 years. He was a
widower, SIS years of age, and native
of Germany. The remains were for
warded to DrytOwn, and the funeral
took place Tuesday, remains being de-
posted in the cemetery of that village.

Strangely Affected.

David Quierolo of Mokelumne Hill,
while handling a hammer and drill in
the Gwin mine one day last week,
suddenly and without apparent cause
lost all power of his right arm. He
had been at work several hours when
the spell came upon him, and he was
obliged to quit work and go home and
seek medical treatment. The arm also
swelled considerably and was quite
painful. At last accounts he was some
what improved, but had not fully re-
gained the use of his arm.-Calaveras

George Yager, the we'll known mer.
chant OF lone. was mending fences on
a place owned by him on the lone road
last week. He was working in tun-
mel or open cut by the roadside as the
four-horse stage came along. Without
noticing that guard Mcconnell was on
board with his shotgun, he thought he
would play joke on the driver. Hold
ing up hammer he held in his hand,
he laughingly called to the driver to
halt. He had scarcely uttered the
word, when he perceived that Nc.
COnnell had him covered with his
sawed-off gun. He says he trembled
from head to foot. Fortunately he was
recognized by those on the stage in
time to avert serious results. Yager al
once realized the foolishness of his act.
He will be careful not to run into that
kind of danger hereafter.

An effort is being made to convert
the lone academy into high schoo
under the provisions of state law, Sc
that it will share in the state tax of Il
cents on the 800 levied for higi
schools. In order to bring it under
the jurisdiction of the state, a high
school district will have to be formed.
The question must be submitted to the
voters for approval. Not less than two
teachers must be employed, a certain
number of students enrolled, and
certain proportion of the expense mus
be borne by special tax upon tn,
property of the district comprising tn,
school. The academy is now a private
company. The members subscribed
the necessary capital to start the
school in proportion to the number O.
shares subscribed by each. A schoo
building has been erected, estimated t.
be worth about $4,000. In the event O
high school district being voted, the
district would be expected to take the
building off the hands of the owners,
paying fair sum therefor. The money
could be raised either by special ia!
or by voting bonds to run number o
years. A meeting was held in tn,
academy building last Saturday to dis
cuss the proposition.
