The Boer W ar.

Captain Ollie Henry and his wife, a
grand niece of ex president Kruger of
the South African Republic, lectured
in Loves hall on Tuesday evening on
the Boer war. Henry is an American
by birth, but went to South Africa in
1895, and was there at the outbreak of
hostilities. He took up arms in the
Boer cause, and was known as the Boer
Scout. There was fair audience. He
told his hearers that when the war
broke out his home was in Pretoria.
When the British army was marching
on that city, and it was evident that it
must fall, he passed through the
British lines, to see after the safety of
his wife and child. Thereafter he
voluntarily surrendered to the military
governor, and was about to be court
martialed as a spy, when the United
States consul interviewed and secured
his release. Whatever notoriety the
doughty captain may have achieved as
soldier, he is not shining mark on
the platform. His wife is more inter-
esting speaker, and her address was
listened to with close attention. Much
bitterness and hatred toward the
British government characterized the
speakers throughout. After the lec-
lures, number of views of war scenes
and distinguished persons who took
part therein were exhibited, followed
by moving pictures of comical char
acter. The pictures were good, and
well worth the price of admission, each
scene being explained by the fair lee
turer. A second entertainment was
given Wednesday evening.

A Blow Out.

Wednesday morning one of the power
lines of the Standard Electric Com
pany fell on one of the lines of the Sun
set Telephone Company at some point
on the Calaveras circuit, and it was
only matter of luck that some one of
the operators at the different switch
boards was not seriously injured. The
wire that caused the damage was of
1000 voltage, and as soon as it came
in contact with the 'hello" wires it
put all of the offices in Calaveras coun-
ty out of business, and blew out several
fuses on the switch board of the jack
son Office, causing CONSERVATION among
the young ladies in charge. At the
time the accident happened no switches
were being made, and the force of the
shock was not felt. There is no telling
what might have happened had the
operators been answering calls at the
time. Men were sent out at once to
repair the damage, and the trouble has
now been adjusted.

leila and other mines have been ap-
preached by individual strikers. to pre-
vail upon them to quit work, but with
out success. No violence has been used
to this end. Superintendent Smith of
the Kennedy reported to the sheriff
the presence OF an armed man near the
Kennedy works on the highway, Thurs
day morning. The law was looked up
and it was found that there was no
state law against the carrying of con-
cealed weapons. A county ordinance
forbids the carrying of concealed
weapon within town limits, except
when travelling. So the authorities
concluded they could take no action.
Monday morning it was found that
the belt Of the Oneida saw mill was cut
in twain. The mill has not been used
since the strike was declared. The
mischief may have been done shortly
after the trouble started. One of the
employees says he noticed it cut several
days prior to Monday, but failed to re-
port it. The damage is trivial, and
the incident would have little signi6-
cance except as showing the spirit of
wanton destruction aroused. Superin-
tendent Hampton came in the same
afternoon in company with Judge
Eikotf, of the firm of Lindley & Eikoff
of San Francisco, to inform the sheriff's
office of the occurrence.
Everything remains peaceful on the
surface. Numbers of miners have left.
They are leaving by dozens every day.
1t is estimated that over 100 have left
during tho week. Business of all kinds
is stagnant. Jackson is the trading
center of most of the mines involved.
The strike means at least $500 per day
withdrawn from circulation among the
business houses here. Contractors for
tlmbers, laggings, charcoal, etc., are
also idle, awaiting the outcome.
Three months of this inactivity will
mean the suspension of the mining in
dustry for whole year, as these sup
plies cannot be obtained in winter
months.

Flush Times,

On Wednesday of this week the Blue
Lakes Water Company commenced to
hydraulic out the New York Ranch
reservoir. The accumulation OF years
has filled the reservoir with earth,
tules, willows, ETC., to a depth of at
least ten feet, and it is a big under
taking to remove all the debris as
everything will have to be loosened up
and washed out. 1t is estimated the
work will take about two months. and
while in progress the Middle fork of
Jackson creek will receive constant
fushings, perhaps daily, which will
add materially to the sanitary condi- =
tions of Jackson.

A Surprised superintendent.

10 show the state of unrest and sus-
picion attending strike, we mention
the experience Of a mining superin-
tendent last week. His property is
situated off the mother lode, and is not
involved in any way in the strike order.
Nevertheless the uneasy feeling ex-
tends in time like this far beyond the
area of the district directly concerned.
The superintendent writes as follows:
The employees up here are a pretty
hard crowd to interfere with ANYHOW,
and it is very dangerous for the super
intendent to visit the mine after dark
without first shouting he is coming. 1
had the pleasure night before last of
looking into gun, and l Immediately
told them to stop that game, and to
notify me instead if anyone interfered.
have worked pretty hard to get this
thing running, and everyone gets his
money when it is due. We pay 81 for
labor on top. 81. IS below ground, and

Suicide.

Arthur Scott was found dead near
the lone cemetery yesterday afternoon,
under circumstances which left no
room to doubt that death was self in

and pistol near by told the sad story.

the terrible affair. Deceased was a
young man, born and raised in the
vicinity of lone, aged q years What
led to the rash act is unk nown. He
was employed as section hand on the
lone railroad, whenever there was
work to be done. He was brother of
r. w. Scott of the Ledger Office, who
upon hearing of the sad occurrence left
at once for lone, to be with his parents
in the overwhelming sorrow that has
overtaken the family. Coroner Hub
erty will hold an inquest to-day.

A Sweet Breath

Is a never failing sign of healthy

stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure for curing indigestion,

Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of White Plains,
KY, writes: II have been a dyspeptic
for years-tried all kinds of remedies
but continued to grow worse. BY the
use of Kodol l began to improve at
once, and after taking few bottles am
fully restored in weight, health and
strength and can eat whatever 1 like.

New Pine Line.

The Blue Lakes Water Company
have about twenty-five men at work
putting in new pipe line across Jack
son creek, on the Jones ranch just
below town. The pipe is twenty-five
inches in diameter and made of quarter
inch iron, and is to take the place of
the eighteen inch pipe now in use.
About 1000 feet of this size is used in
crossing the gulch, and where it spans
the creek it is supported on four con-
crete pillars eight feet in height, which
elevates the pipe so it cannot be in
lured by teams or cattle. The work
is substantial and put in to stay, under
the supervision of Jos. Bird.

Rough on Rats.

The suspension of work at the vari-
Gus mines in this district has caused the
rats that live in the mines to strike"
for higher attitudes, as their living de-
pends on the 'full dinner pail" of the
miner. The rats are allowed to live in
the mines unmolested, as they act as
scavengers and pick up all scraps and
refuse thrown away by the men at
lunch time. And as their living has
been shut off they must emigrate or
starve. 1t is case of climb with them.

A Strike in Volcano.

The Marsino Bros. are working a
gravel claim at Volcano, and the rich
ness of their claim was emphasized by
the finding of two large nuggets last
Saturday. One of the boys was shovel
ing gravel, when his ever watchful eye
caught the glimmer of gold. which re-
suited in the picking up of two fine
specimens of pure gold. One of them
weighed nearly two ounces, and was
worth about thirty dollars, which
speaks well for the productiveness of
the claim and the surrounding country.

bekahs are good cooks, what else could
be expected. Results: The hall was
crowded, large delegation from the
lone Lodge was in attendance, and
those men, the hungriest lot of people
that ever came to Jackson. Well
every body enjoyed everything. The
initiation which is always pleasing and
beautiful because it is conducted en-
tirely by the sisters, mo men allowed, :"
should have been enough entertain
ment for one evening, but these folks
never do anything by halves. The
salads and coffee, ice cream and cake,
speeches. and a jolly good time lasted
way after midnight. No wonder the
Rebekahs are jolly crowd.
