N EcAUsE farmer who had the H1 rheumatism was severely stung " by bees and when he recovered had rheumatism no longer science has jumped 10 the conclusion that bee stings have solved the problem of curing one of the greatest ills that flesh is heir to- Of course the decision ~as not reached quite so hurriedly as that. A series of experiments were made. but the farmer and his bumps started the whole move ment. Now 1t is proposed to collect bee stings by the thousands and a serum for injection through the skin will be made from the fluid which the stings contain. At first glance the business of collecting bee stings would appear hazadous but there is money in the business and of course those persons in position to command the bee sting market will respond How ever, 1t is to be expected that rheumatism will continue a good excuse for idleness, for imbibing whisky, for i'll temper and many other failings of frail humanity When one considers it is remarkable how many people shield their weaknesses un-

Death of Miss Hilda Newman.

Miss Hilda Newman, an estimable,
talented aud accomplished young lady,
well known in Jackson and lone, where
she formerly resided, died at the home
of her parents in Oakland, last Friday.
She was possessed of musical talent of
a high order, and devoted her life to
cultivate her natural ability in this
direction. A few years ago she went
to Germany, and studied under the
great masters of instrumental music of
Europe. AS pianist she had few
equals, and taught her chosen pro-
fession in New York and San Francisco.
Her untiring devotion to her profession
brought on her fatal illness, in the
shape Of nervous collapse, due to over
study Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

Trustee Election.

Notices are posted around Jackson
calling for the election on Friday next
OF two trustees for Jackson district.
The retiring trustees are W. E. Kent
and Wallace Kay. The term of T. K.
Norman, the other trustee, does not
expire until next year. 1t was at first
reported that he would resign, as his
duties as sheriff demand his undivided
attention. 1t may be that he will ad-
here to this course, thereby relegating to
the people all the issues involved in the
school situation in this district, which
are unquestionably of a momentous
character to parents and pupils. We
are told that both the outgoing trustees
will likely be candidates for reelection.
1t is also reported that E. H. Harring-
ton. J. r. Huberty and Chris Marelia
will likely be in the field.

Friday morning while unattended. At
about 11:30 O'Clock a. r., Miss Ben

no response to her request for admit

Not liking to be alone she called to a
lady friend who was passing by, and
together they ventured to the bedside
and found the lady apparently dead.
They Immediately went for the doctor,
who upon his arrival ascertained that
life had departed. Mr.. Simmons had
gone to work at $50 o'clock, leaving
his wife feeling as we'll as usual. He
was greatly shocked when he heard of
his wife's sudden demise, although he
had been warned by the doctor that
death might occur without moment S
notice. Their son, Geo. G. Simmons,
came up from Yolo county Saturday
evening, and the remains were inferred
in the Protestant cemetery in Sutter

A Lien Case.

The case OF A. FL. Kuhlman vs. Mrs.
M. Going, which was recently decided
in the superior court of this county, is
one of considerable public interest.
The amount involved was only SIS.
The plaintiff prepared plans at the in
stance of defendant for q dwelling
house, and put in bid for the con-
tract of building the same. Not being
the lowest bidder he failed to receive
the contract. Nevertheless, the COM
plaint alleges that the architectural de-
sign which he made was used in the
building. He therefore demanded S15
for the plans. Defendant refused to
pay for the same. Kuhlman did not
act as superintendent of the building.
He did nothing beyond drawing the
plans. He filed lien against the build
ing within the legal time, to secure the
payment OF his claim. The lien law
expressly provides that Architects"
performing labor upon any building are
entitled to a lien upon the property
upon which they bestow labor. A de-
murrer was filed, alleging that the facts
stated did not bring the case within
the lien law. The court sustained the
demurrer, without leave to plaintiff to
amend. II the case did not come under
the lien law the superior court had no
jurisdictions; it was merely Justice
court case. The decision hinged on
the architect work being confined to
drawing the plans. If the plans had
been. supplemented by experimenting
the construction of the building, there
was no question that lien would hold.
The supreme court has clearly so
stated. 1t does not appear that any
decision of the higher court has been
given for either sustaining or rejecting
a lien for mere architectural drawings,
The question is of much Importance to
architects. There is some talk that
the matter will be appealed.
