Applications for Schools.

1t often happens that teachers in
their hurry to secure positions, sit
down and write out applications for
from one to dozen schools. This is
perhaps all right, and often enables the
teacher to secure position, when If
she had applied for but one she might
have been left out for the season.
These numerous applications have
their good as we'll as their bad features.
1t gives board of trustees an oppor-
tunity to select one from many, and it
too often happens that it gives teachers
the same privilege, and thus causes
discord and dissatisfaction among
boards of trustees. Moreover it causes
trustees to believe that teachers are
more plentiful than they really are,
and the result is reduction in wages,
when in truth there are really more
schools than teachers. This is per-
haps the case in Amador county to-day.
Every teacher who applies will un-
doubtedly receive position, but no
teacher should apply for school that
she is not willing to accept Immediately
upon notification of her selection. She
should accept the first appointment
and withdraw all other applications.
By SO doing she is acting in justice to
herself and to those who have honored
her with an appointment. But when
any teacher receives notice of an ap.
pointment and holds it for any period
of time in the hope of receiving better
one, and thus disappoints an honest
board of trustees, that teacher is cer-
tainly guilty of unprofessional conduct,
and is deserving of censure by the
superintendent or board of education.

Plymouth improvements.

Again the little town of Plymouth is
infested with what appears to be con-
tagious fever. 1t differs somewhat
from malaria, being of a pleasing
rather than disagreeable nature,
and is fast spreading to all parts
of the town. The first serious
case was that of DR.. w. A. Norman.
Many Of his neighbors and friends were
greatly alarmed for a time as to the
outcome, and had DR.. Boyson visit him
on the sly to ascertain if possible the
nature OF the malady. After closely
questioning his patient and carefully
examining the premises, the physician
pronounced it a case of Substantial
home improvements. DR.. Norman is
now rusticating in the mountains, but
as result of his recent attack he has
one of the best fitted up offices and
most commodious dwellings to be found
in the village.
B. Levaggi is also erecting a large
will add materially to the appearance
of Main street. Joe Datson has put a
new S75 front in his saloon, which
gives it very attractive appearance.
Supervisor Burke is putting in cold
storage in his butcher shop that will
cost in the eighborhood of $1,000. He
proposes to sell his customers just as
good meat when the thermometer reg
listers ITO above as when it registers
80 degrees below zero. VIM. Scoble
has been repairing his undertaking
parlors, and using the paint brush
effectively on his other properties. All
along the line oarpentering, paint
ing, and paper hanging seems to be the
order of the day. 1t is hoped that the
fever will go on unabated until many
of the dwellings are re-roofed for the
winter season.

Home Again.

Chris Marelia, who has been rusti-
eating at Duncan Springs, Mendocino
county, for the past three weeks, re-
turned Sunday looking hale and hearty.
Mr.. Marelia thinks Duncan Springs
just the place for person who is
worked down mentally and physically
to go and build up his weakened con-
stitution. Certainly if one can consume
the enormous quantity of food that
Marelia tells about having eaten, the
place must be world beater as an ap-
petizer. A too close application to
business affairs has rather weakened
what was intended by nature to be a
rugged constitution, and Mr.. Marelia
intends hereafter to take his share of
the easy side of life.

Baseball.

The game on the Fleming grounds
Sunday was good one, both sides do
ing their utmost to win. At the end
OF the ninth inning the score stood
10 to 10. During the tenth inning the
visitors made one and the Jacksons
two runs, thus defeating their oppon-
ents by one tally. The large crowd
grew very enthusiastic at times, ap-
plauding alike the visitors and the
home team. The lone team was the
same as played last Sunday, with the
exception of three players. They had
filed up the weak places with better
men, and came with the intention of
lowering Jackson's colors. The home
team seemed to realize that the contest
was to be close one, and never relaxed
their energies for a moment. Manv
interesting incidents occurred during
the game, and the spectators went
away feeling that the game had been
one of the most interesting of the sea-
son.

AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.
Offer Compromise
Figures to Coal Miners.

indianapolis, March 5-The new
proposition of the operators for a COM
promise wage scale equivalent to 51z
per cent. reduction in wages was sub
mitted today to joint conference be-
tween the miners and operators. A re-
cess was asked for by the miners, who
then went into executive Session. T.
L. Robbins, a Pittsburg operator, was
the first speaker in the joint confer
ence. He said:
After long struggle in which there
seemed to be nothing in sight but a
disagreement, we have finally come to
the point where in the interests of this
movement. our country, people and our
agreement we make proposition that
when we first met did not appeal to US.
Present conditions justify a much
larger reduction. This proposition is
wholly inadequate, and it is only made
because of a two years agreement the
country's welfare and our long reIa-
lions.
we show by this that we are confident
that the depressed times are not going to
continue and we want to do our part in
bringing about a return of prosperity

UTERMAN GOES FREE.
Commissioners Amend Rule in
His Behalf.

Herman Uterman has been released
from the county jail, where he was
serving a sentence for selling liquor at
Vinewood park last summer. The
county commissioners released Utter
man on his promise not to sell liquor
again Illegally, and to pay the costs
and fine in the case on the inStallment
plan at $25 per month. He was released
Friday.
Uternaan had not been out of Jail "a
hours until a warrant was issued IN the
city court on a complaint sworn to by
julius CCultis, summoning Uterman TO
appear and stand trial on the charge
that he should give a bond to keep the
reaoe. Coultis said that last night
Uterman hunted him up at the Mid
land hotel, which Coultis manages, and
threatened to kill him. Coultis was
scared. He said that Uterman was in
earnest. Uterman complained that
Coultis had insulted his wife while he
was in Jail.
Several weeks ago Uterman petitioned
tie board of county commissioners for
release. The commissioners informed
Cterman that under rule No. 10 of the
&C de followed bv the board he "ould-
have to secure the endorsement of
Judge Hazen and County Attorney
Hungate to his petition before he could
he released.
Judge Hazen refused to sign the petit
ton for Uterman's release and County
Attorney Hungate announced that 1t
was his business TO convict ana not 10
release, that he had prosecuted and con-
victed Uterman and that he would not
sign his petition. Uterman's case SEEM
ed to be hopeless.
Some of Uterman's friends worked
hard with the board to have rule No. 13
repealed, amended or to have the en-
acting clause stricken out. Uterman's
case seemed hopeless unless the code
under which the board of commissioners
operates should be changed.
The lobby, working in the interests of
JTterman, got in its work and the board
of county commissioners Friday after
noon proceeded to amend" rule No. ID
of the commissioners code. In amend
ing'' the rule it was done by leaving out
the proviso that the judge of the district
court and the county attorney should
sign the petition of prisoners asking for
release from Jail. The board passed the
amended" rule.
When that had been done and the
board of commissioners was operating
under a new rule No. 10 in the code it
was possible for the board to release
Uterrnan without such action being rec
commended by Judge Hazen and Coun-
ty Attorney Hungate.t
The board promptly voted to re-
lease Uterman- When Uterman was

could take him up and lodge him in Jail

Thus, under the amended rule No. IL
OF the code of the county commission
els, Uterman got out of jail and with
in a few hours Julius Coultis was in a
state Of terror for fear that he was
to lose his life.
Uterman claims that Deputy County
Attorney Jamison promised that a
warrant should be issued for the arrest
of Coultis, but that has nothing to do
with rule No. 10 of the code of the
county commissioners as amended.

you know nothing of? Vin-Seng Tonic
has never yet failed in case of Ia

failed to bring relief. The names of
the people who have taken it will be

call to mind any other grippe remedy
that has cured the disease? Isn't it
fact that people constantly say they
can get nothing that seems to do la
grippe any good?

HUGHES WAS THERE.
Attended Another Anti Meeting in
Sixth Ward.


Another "anti-Hughes'' meeting, at
tended by Col. Hughes and his friend,
j. B. Larirner, was held by the Swend-
on-Tincher-Myers crowd last night at
Lowman Hill school house. In addition
to Col. Hughes and Mr.. Larimer, there
were half dozen other Hughes men
from Auburndale and Potwin, and
about 40 residents of Lownlan Hill.
Councilman SwendSon, who is hight
ing Hughes and booming w. A. Myers
for the council, made the same speech
he made at the recent meeting in AL
lens store Mr.. Swendson has his re-
marks written out, and reads them to
his audience, which is somewhat OF an
innovation for political meetings. Coun-
Gilman Tincher, who is also fighting
Hughes( made a speech.
Then Hughes himself and j. B. Lari-
mer made speeches, defending them
selves.
Larimer and Swendson had little
tiff when the former was speaking.
Swendson kept interrupting Larimer
with questions, and the accusations
that he and his crowd were tax dodg-
ers." Finally Larimer got tired of 1t,
and told Swendson that he would not
speak until Swendson would keep STILL
Swendson did not keep still, but Lari-
mer went ahead and ignored his inter
ruptions.
How Hughes manages to get wind
Of all the "anti-HugheS" meetings is a
good deal of a mystery to the Myers
crowd Whenever there is Myers
meeting, Hughes is there, in spite of
the fact that Myers tries to keep his
meetings secret except from those
whom he specially invites to be pres
emf.
