Mrs. DR., Mushett Dead.

Word has been received by a private
letter from Vallejo, that Mrs. DR.. Ida
E. Mushett died in Napa on the End of
February, and was buried at that place
on the 4th instant. She practiced
medicine and surgery for several years
in Amador county, having her resi-
dence at Jackson. Some years ago she
removed to Oregon, but after brief
stay there returned to California, prac-
ticing at Jackson, Vallejo and Los An
geles. Failing health compelled her to
relinquish in measure the arduous
work. and she removed with her hus-
band and family to Napa county. She
was victim of consum ption, although
we are informed that the direct cause
of death was an attack of typhoid
fever. She leaves a husband and two
children, the Oldest, Mark Andrews,
being employed at Vallejo.

Died in San Francisco.

On Friday, the 5th instant, at her
home in San Francisco, Mrs. Mary Nc
Grath, sister of James Meehan of Jack
son, passed over into the mysterious
unknown, at the ripe old age of rs
years. Mr.. Meehan received the news
of his sisters serious illness on Friday
morning, and drove by special convey
ance to Valley Springs, there to take
the train in an effort to reach the city
before the death angel had claimed its
victim. But in this he was doomed to
disappointment, as the spirit had
flown before his arrival. Besides Mr..
Meehan, her brother, Mrs. McGrath is
survived by three daughters and one
son. The funeral occurred Monday
from the deceased's home, and the
ceremony included solemn requiem
high mass at st. James church. The
interment was at Holy Cross cemetery,

THE LICENSE ORDINANCE
Editor Amador Ledger:

Editor Amador Ledger:
Dear Sir:-In your article Radical
ism in the Saddle" it seems to me that
you do not give the four gentlemen on
the board of supervisors who voted for
the'new saloon ordinance, the credit
for business carefulness which is their
due. Certainly they have been giving
the interest of the county their close
attention for some time. They have
also consulted with our district attor-
pey, aud, our local member of the board
tells me, have examined the ordinances
! from several other counties to see what
provisions are in use there for the regu-
lation and control of the different in-
terests considered in this ordinance. If
there is strength in a multitude of
counsel, certainly the board has taken
great care to have this new county law
strong in all its parts, and they should
not be treated as though their work
and that of the district attorney was
the result of sudden impulse.
The way to keep our county in the
front rank of counties is to stand by
our lawmakers and county officers in
every effort they make for advance
ment-even If it is not just what we, as
individual citizens, may think is the
very best. There is a large element of
our citizens that see the evil effects of
the saloon business SO plainly as to very
much desire its immediate and COM
plete discontinuance. Others think it
a business of very little harm. The
members of the board who supported
this new county law, can not justly be
charged with belonging to either of
these classes. They have done what
they deem to be the best, considering
all the circumstances, and, though l
am not personally acquainted with any
one Of the four, feel that they SHOULD
not be charged with ''Radicalism '-at
least not in the sense which the general
tone Of your criticism implies.
There are always some to find fault,
whatever is done. And it seems to me
that the more encouragement the
papers in the county give to those acts
OF our supervisors which show so plain
ly an effort to do right, the better for
every interest concerned. Why. my
dear sir, it has already been said in my
hearing, that these men will not stand
By their own ordinanae by the lrst Of
next May. What an insinuation! Do
you suppose our supervisors are chill

suggestions you and l ought to say to
them, go on. gentlemen, and give
your ideas fair test, and we will sup
port you"
Trusting you will give this word in
behalf of these men as fair a space in
your paper as was given their nom
endorsement, [ am,
Yours respectfully,
w. G. HOWARD.
lone, Cal, Feb. 9, 1904.
[The Ledger is perfectly willing to
allQw the ab0Fe to pass without COM
ment We find no argument therein
that calls for discussion. The amended
ordinance, we again assert, seems to be
in the interest of publishers, lawyers
and surety companies. We venture to
say such an enactment would not COM

Go to thy rest fair child
Go to thy dreamless bed
While yet so gentle unde6led
With blessings on thy head.
Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid,
Haste from this dark and fearful
land
Where flowers quickly fade.
Ere sin has scared the breast,
Or sorrow walked the tear,
Rise to thy throne of chungeless
In yon celestial sphere.
Because thy smile was fair,
Thy lips and eye so bright;
Because thy lovirg cradle care
Was such dear delight.
Shall love with weak embrace,
Thy upward wing detaln;
No ! Gentle angle seek thy place
Amid the cherub train.
