So matters stood for several weeks,

the day of the trial Farmer Stone was
very restless. He had boosted that
he had never sued a man or been sued.
Now the record was to be broken.
Tossing on his pillow not long after

The 4th in Plymouth.

The 4th in Plymouth was a decided
success. Every person who went from
Jackson speaks in praise of the salts
factory manner in which the program
was carried out TO the letter. The
amusements pleased old and young
alike, and the people of the town
showed by their every endeavor that
it was carried out on patriotic lines and
not as money making scheme
Although the crowd was larger than
expected the church ladies and hotel
proprietors had prepared for just such
a surprise, and found no difficulty in
feeding all. The oration by Hon. r. G.
Rust was full of patriotic sentiment and
evoked frequent applause from the at
tentive listeners. The singing was
greatly appreciated and the band kept
playing from early morn till late at
night. The horse-race was one of the
best ever seen in the county. A Plym-
outh horse won by scant margin from
Greenback, owned by Mr.. Reeves of
Amador. The fireworks, horribles
and balloon ascension made the early
evening an enjoyable one. The dance,
from financial standpoint, was the
greatest success of all, but the hall was
so crowded that it was almost impossi-
BILE to dance. We regret that the
scarcity of conveyances prevented
many of our patriotic citizens from
being present. We are unable to give
the names of winners of the principal
event. May Amador county have
many such celebrations that her peo'
pie may become better citizens thereby,

The Assessment for 1904.

The following figures show the as.
sessed valuation of property in Amador
county for the year 19034:
In township No. there is an appar.
ent decrease of $50, 316, while in all
the other townships there is substan-
tial gain. In township No. 8, there is
an apparent gain of S135, 610. This is
accounted for mainly from the fact
that Heretofore all the property belong.
to the Standard Electric Co. was as
sessed in township No. 1. The work is
now so nearly completed that the as
sessor has been able to seggregate the
property and give to township No. 8
what rightfully belongs to it. The
property in township No. l has in
creased in value just the same as in the
other townships, but the surrendering
to No. its portion of the Standard
Electric property makes the apparent
decrease. This will add materially to
the road fund of No. and will enable
Supervisor GrillO to do much more
work during the coming year. This is
the first time in the history of the
county that the assessment has reached
the S.. 600, 900 mark. There are 266,
800 acres of assessable lands in the
county

Eagle Ready to Fly.

The golden eagle which has beer
kept in cage some two months at the
Irish Tavern, corner of Seventh and
l streets, was to have been given flight
yesterday at p. m. A great crowd
assembled to see the bird of freedom
spread his wings and soar in the vastly
blue.
But the expectant onlookers were
sadly disappointed. The eagle, when
released. spread his pinions, but was
unable to rise more than a few feet
from the ground and then fluttered
helplessly to earth. Three times it es.
sayed fight and then gaspingly gave it
up and was restored to it's cage. Con.
fnement or injury at the time of its
capture incapacitated the eagle, but it
is believed that if given a run in the
open few days it would be able to fiy.

Death of 1. N. Neeley.

Mr. Isaac Newton Neeley, who for
merly conducted the Enterprise livery
stable in Jackson, but of late years a
resident of Milton, died at his home
Friday evening surrounded by friends
and relatives. The immediate cause of
death was rupture of a blood vessel
on the brain. Mr.. Neeley was born in
Pennsylvania 73 years ago, and came
to California and settled in Volcano,
AmadOr county, in 1850. During his
stay in Volcano he married and from
that union he leaves a son and three
daughters to mourn his loss, his wife
having died several years ago. Later
he married Mrs. M. F. Walker, mother
of Mrs. A. Caminetti, who survives
him. He was inferred in the Milton
cemetery by the local lodge 1. 90. F.,
of which he was an honored member,
Mr.. and Mrs. Caminetti and their son
Drew attended the burial services.

PROBATE.
A Sorry Spectacle.

Imagine such distinguished men as
D. M. Delmas, W. J. McGee and M. F.
Tarpey, dressed in knee pants, stand :
ing in the corridor of one of the largest
botels in St. Louis singing at the top
of their voices, the following silly little
conglomeration of words, thinking that
by certain emphasis of particular
word candidate of meager ability
could be fostered upon the democratic
party as a fit parsonage to become
president OF the United States.
THE SONG.
Boom! Boom! Boom
First First! First
California, California,
Hearst Hearst Hearst!
At first it was considered great big
joke gotten up by some wag as take
off on the prominent men who COM
posed the State delegation, but the
next issue of the Hearst papers repro
duced it in glsring type on the first
page and heralded it as the battle cry
that would down all others. So often
was it reprinted that people began to
think that "Willie" wrote it himself
and many heralded it as the greatest
of his recent productions. 1t proved
no joke but reality A part of the
California delegation actually assem-
bled in one of the corridors of large
hotel, braced themselves firmly and let
OIL blast at the top Uf their voices.
No one shouted; another, and death
ly silence prevailed; a third, and the
dry bones of Willie's latest effusion
lay prostrate upon the floor. In a
short time Delmas was looking for a
vacant lot in which to nominate Hearst.
MCGEE was interviewing a native Ha-
waiian as to the probable eruption OF
the Island volcanoes, and Tarpey was
looking for Cuban representative tc
ascertain if possible whether Roosevelt
was actually at the battle of San Juan
and how he thought Hearst would run
in the Island Republic.
Such methods of creating enthusiasm
are things of the past. Such frosts
should never be placed upon the shoul
ders of delegates. Let candidates dc
as W. J. Bryan did in 1896, come be
fore the convention and by word and
action show to the convention thai
they are worthy and capable and they
will receive support. Hearst is a dead
issue, acknowledged to be so by al
save himself, and we will say in Justice
to our townsman, W. J. MCGEE, that we
will bet he was not in hearing distance
OF that hotel at the time of the song
fiasco.

Volcano Smallpox Case.

Quite a number of bills were present.
ed to the Board of Supervisors Monday
by parties who assisted in one way or
another in taking care of, or furnish.
suffering from smallpox in Volcano.
Most of the bills had been o. KID. by
the county health officer, and the
District Attorney passed them up to the
supervisors without his signature.
Some members OF the hoard first re.
fused to sign, not being able to under
stand how it was that it took two white
men and chinaman to care for the
patient County clerk Culbert finally
suggested that it took the chinaman to
watch the sick man and the two white
men to watch the chinaman. This
cleared matters little aud most of the
bills were signed. There were two bills
for similar articles one from Clute's and
one from L. Crssinelli & Bro. but SUD.
ervisor Grillo explained that one was
for the Chinaman, the other for the
patient and they were allowed. Mr..
Frank Clute of the St. George hotel
furnished the food the patient and at
tendant ate and his bill was also scru-
tinized. The sum total was between
S75 and 800 which at first glance SEEM
ed to be exorbitant, but as the disease
was kept from spreading it may be
very reasonable after all.

The 4th in jackson.

No attempt to publicly celebrate the
nations birthday was made by the
citizens of Jackson. Every person
who could secure any semi blance of a
rig, riding pony or jack, went either to
Plymouth or to Mokelumne Hill. Some
even walked to attend the dance. Those
who remained in town spent the day
socially. All places of business were
closed in the afternoon excepting those
that had fire works to sell and the
saloons. During the day the childre
kept the town noisy by the burning of
firecrackers. and in the evening many
of the older ones lent patriotic hand
and kept the bombs exploding until
quite late hour. We noticed that
the foreign population of the town spent
considerable sum in the purchase of
fireworks. By doing this they taught
their children lesson on patriotism
that will not soon be forgotten. In
terest in an historical question must be
created in some unsuspecting way.
The roar of cannon, the sound of the
bugle, the waving of thu flag and the
shouts of assem- bled multitudes create
in the minds of the younger generation
desire to know what it all means.
The history of the Revolution is taken
down and and the reader at once be-
comes filled with his Importance
as a successor to one of those who
sacrificed so much for US and at once
becomes true patriot, and a teacher
of patriotism to those who follow after
him. Jackson should celebrate July
4th 1905. The young people of the town
need the inspiration that it would give
them. The matter should be- taken
up in earnest early in the spring and
pressed to successful issue.

Gov. Pardee Praises Fair.

Gov. Geo. G. Pardee of California,
who has been spending some time at
the Worlds Fair, has become an ar
dent supporter of the great exposition.
Upon being asked as to what he
thought of the fair he said:
II find the World 8 Fair in all ways
beyond my expectations. It's immen-
sity at first appals one, but as the
homogeneity of the plan of arrange
ment unfolds itself, the visitor finds
that he can, in the space of few days,
review the products, the manufactor-
les, and the peoples of the world. Pass
ing through the various buildings one
is struck with the greatness of our
country; and personal and official mod
esty does not forbid me saying that
California need not be ashamed of her.
SELF" Even the Governor of the Golden
State, who has spent all his life within
her borders, finds that he knew only q
little about his state until he went and
saw all her varied products assembled
together.
