The Governor a Good Chooser.

Twelve years ago a drowsy little
town %languished near the confluence of
the Saluda and Broad rivers. 1t was
perhaps the %stillest village in America,
except Tallahassee, q State capital
which can be located by placing a 90
cent ad in the "Lost" column of g
Jacksonville paper. Iu 1891 something
was born alive In Columbia, q newspa-
per called The State. In q short time,
being exposed to life, Columbia caught
1T, although It had been for about a
century considered immune. The
dropping, nodding business community
OF Columbia was cheered, goaded,
preached, dashed and inspired to act
ivity by this newspaper, edited by o
gentleman of most distinguished tai
ents. Columbia began to increase and
today Is q city Of surprising and con-
tinuing commercial growth. The edi-
tor of the Columbia State had for his
chief scout and forager for facts en-
p!oyed In his industrial campaign e.
y. Watson, a young man OF quick per-
ceptions and readiness for all manner
OF useful work. What Mr.. Watson has
contributed to the prosperity of Co
lumbia, all may look for him to give on
q far larger scale in his capacity as i'm
migration commissioner for South
Carolina.
Mr.. Hayward of the Lowlands the
governor, has been lucky and happy
and wise In selecting Mr.. Watson and
we remark again that Mr.. Hayward is
perhaps a better governor than we de-
serve,

DEATH OF
MR.. LAFORGE
Another Veteran Has Answer
ed the Last Rolf Cali.

Peter LaForge died at the Oling-
house ranch, seven miles north OF
wadsworth, on Saturday, January 9th.
u. had taken a severe cold which was
followed by an attack Of pneumonia.
and death resulted after short illness
II about ten days. He had rallied to-
ward the last and his recovery seemed
almost certain, but. as Is often the
c.se with men Of advanced age, his
strength gave out at a timo when 1t
was needed to overcome the ravages
the pneumonia had made upon his
system.
He was buried at Wadsworth on
Monday in Fraternal Cemetery, in the
little plot where rest the remains of a
son and also a sis,er who had proceed
ed him some few years.
The funeral services were held at
Union Church, Rev. T. L. Bellam
officiating. The pail bearers were,
Messrs, E. Griswold, w. c. Givan. F.
Rogers, A. N. Babcock, M. Kaiser and
j.. Jackson. all members of the G..
A. r. Of which the deceased was al
so member. having belonged to
Placeville Post No. 1903. of Placer
vile, CAL
Mr.. LaForge was born at Port Rich
mond, Staten Island, New York. and
at the time Of his death was nearly "a
years Of age. When the War of the
Rebellion broke out he enlisted in the
army, entering the ranks of the 18th
Reg, Illinois Volunteers and serving
three years.
He had been in Wadsworth only a
few months, having come here from
C4lifornla in September last.
The deceased was we'll known in
Western Nevada, having come to this
State in 1871. He resided at Carson
City from 1871 to 1881. when he en-
tered the employ of the N. C. o. rail-
road which was then in course of con-
strIction, serving first in the corps of
surveyors and later as locomotive en-
aneer for the company.
Mr. LaForge was a man of genial
and kindly disposition and had a host
q friends in Nevada and California.

FORGER SUICIDES
VIII Short Accommodates
Stranger and is Loser
Sixty Dollars

San Francisco papers of recent date
contain an account of a man who com
mitted suicide in Sacramento, leaving
letter to the coroner in which he
stated ne had committed a crime in
Wadrworth and connecting a woman
with the affair. The suicide signed
his name as Gus Weiter.
AS the name was not familiar here
1t was thought the suicide was crank.
but 1t has since come to light that he
forged check for $685., making It in
favor of G. Gunther, signing the name
of D. Lubin and endorsing it with the
firm name of Weinstock & Lubin.
The check was drawn on the First Ma
tional Bank Of Los Angeles, Cal.
Gunther, or Weiter, had a bootblack
stand at the Elite saloon and when the
bartender was busy he would occasion
ally assist in waiting upon the custom
ers.
December 10Th, last, he took the
forged check to VIII Short at the
Wadsworth Bottling Works and asked
him to cash it. He said he would de-
posit it with Mr.. Short and take the
money as he needed 1t.
Mr.. Short had seen the fellow be-
hind the bar at the Elite and did not
doubt his word when he said he was
the night bartender at the place. Mr..
Short asked Weiter why he did not get
the check cashed at the Elite and he
replied that, being an employe of the
place, he did not consider it good policy
to let them know he was possessed of
any money, and he did not like to
leave his money on deposit in a
saloon.
When asked how the check came
into his possession Weiter replied that
it was given in payment for some
property he had sold to Mr.. Lubin.
Ths explanation satisfied Mr.. Short,
so he handed Weiter $50, the amount
requested on the check, and he was to
call for the balance whenever he need
ed it.
When leaving the office Weiter
shook hands with Mr.. Short, express
ing the hope that they would be-
come better acquainted. Mr.. Short,
to his sorrow, is much better acquaint-
ed with the fellow at this time.
Mr.. Short sent the check to the
Sierra Lager Beer Company of Reno
in payment for goods purchased, and
they in turn sent it to the Washoe
County Bank, so it was well plastered
with endorsements when 1t reached the
First National Bank of Los Angeles,
where the forgery was discovered and
payment protested,
When Mr.. Short was apprised of the
fact he made enquiries and discovered
that Weiter had left town the same day
he had received the $50 on the check.
He was later approached by partner
of Weiter, who asked him what he in
tended doing in the matter Mr.. Short
replied he would spare no expense to
bring the criminal to justice and that
he had already engaged detective to
work on the case.
This unpleasant information was
doubtless. transmitted to Weiter, and
his fear of arrest, combined with Ill
health, probably led to his act OF self
destruction.

BANQUET AND
INSTALLATION
A Night Of Frolic, Feasting
Fun and Laughter.

One of the grandest banquets ever
given In Wadsworth was Masonic BAN
quet given Friday night by the memb-
bers of the Masonic and Eastern Star
Orders to their families and many
friends.
Assembly Hall was beautifully deco
rated in the colors of the Star, blue
yellow, white, green and red, and at an
early hour the guests arrived to witness
the installation of officers for the en-
suing year.
The officers installed were:
Mrs. Cowles, Matron; l.. S. Bridges,
Patron; Mrs. Butler. Associate Patron;
T. L. Bellam, Sec't'y; Mrs. Davis,
Treasurer; Miss Tredway, Con-. Mrs.
Beemer. Associate Con-; Miss Som
mers, Adah; Mrs. Bridges, Ruth; Mrs.
Hampton, Esther; Mrs. Shepley, Mar
tina; Mrs. Beemer. Electa Mrs. Thorn
ton, Chaplain; C. A. Beemer, Warder;
Oscar Ambur, Sentinel.
Past Matron Mrs. G. A. Macpherson
acted es installing officer and delivered
the charges in an eloquent manner.
Mrs. Beemer acted as Marshall and
performed the work gracefully.
After installation ceremonies pro-
gram was rendered as follows:
instrumental music Misses York
and Donelin and Mr.. George Brady
Rec Ethel Macpherson
Vocal Solo lo.......... Elwood Beemer
Rec. Lethia Griffee
Song. 49,. ...... Little Nellie Cobb
Harmonica Solo. :. :. Harry Bridges
Rec. -. Cecil Allen
Duet. .Addie Washeim and
................ -. Dorothy Cowles
instrumental. Misses York and
Doneln and Mr.. George Brady
Every number on the program was
deserving of special mention, but time
and space forbids.
A game entitled Vegetable Out"
was next introduced and pretty little
souvenirs were given each guest,
there being tie among number for
the first prize. Miss Frances Bliven
came out victorious, however, receiv-
ing handsome picture. Mr.. Harry
Parker received he consolation in TIE
shape Of cabbage head"
Misses Sommers, Beemer, ATbur
and Tredway were the committee in
charge Of the program and entertain
ment and all present voted them royal
entertainers and especially adapted to
the work.
Then all adjourned to Music Hall
where four long tables beautifully deco
rated, delighted the eyes and appetites
as well. Over so people seated them
selves, and such a feastl "Oh, ye
Gods!" The tables we're laden with
every good thing imaginable. Itwould
be impossible to mention them all, as
It would take week-months.
1t is the opinion Of your humble SER
want, the reporter, that the Masons
must be the happiest men in the world
to possess such excellent cooks for
wives.
The refreshments committee were
Mesdames Butler, Cowles, Hampton,
Macpherson, Bridges. assisted by the
committee from the Masons, L. S.
Bridges, J. B. Woods and Scott Nc
Racken.
After supper all enjoyed dancing un-
til very late hour, when all departed
to their homes, saying they had spent
as pleasant a social evening as ever
was spent in Wadsworth.
