Will Change Place of Business.

w. o. Green has rented the building
heretofore known as the Pioneer saloon,
next door to his present business place,
and will move therein shortly. The
Green saloon in the Koch building will
probably be rented by F. Valvo, who is
now conducting barber shop in the
basement of the National hotel. He will
turn the premises into a barber shop,
for which it was used in former years.
The upstairs apartments he intends to
utilize as residence. These rooms
were recently rented by the athletic
club, and the partitions taken out.
Now that Mr.. Green is surrendsring
the premises, these partitions will be
again put in place, and the upper story
restored to its former condition. These
changes will dispense with one saloon
on Main street, and avoid the anomaly
of three saloons in succession.

The house warming given at the new

Friday evening was attended by from

pleasantly passed in amusements, and
partaking of the good things provided
in the shape of coffee, chocolate, cake,

paying all expenses, amounted to S13. so.

Miss Nettie Van Buskirk, of Marys-

manager of the Sunset Telephone Com
pany, and family. On Monday even
ing party was organized in her honor,
consisting of 16 persons. who left jack
son and proceeded to the big plant at
Electra. The people of Electra were
prepared for the visitors, and gave
them royal welcome. Dancing and
singing were INDUCED in, and refresh
ments provided. The company re-
real enjoyment.
Registration closed Wednesday of
last week. There was something of a
rush to get registered during the last
two or three days. The aggregate
number of voters has not been figured
up as yet, but it is the general opinion
that the great register will be about
200 short of that of two years ago. OF
course most of the failures are owing to
Indifference and neglect. In a few
cases, however, the Indifference has
amounted to determination not to
register. Some old line democrats,
who have voted the party ticket
straight along, do not take kindly to
the situation this year, and as way
out of the dilemma have come to the
conclusion to keep off the register.
When you wish the finest favored
coffees and teas, rememb Der that w. J.

day he pleaded guilty before justice

managed to scrape up in the course oi

Died Under the Operation.

M. Scatena, a member of the firm of
Talente & Scatena, who has been a
sufferer for many months from necrosis
of the bone of the right leg, near the
hip, underwent the operation of ampu-
tation on Wednesday morning last, at
his residence on Broadway. For sew
eral weeks he was under treatment at
one of the hospitals in San Francisco.
Owing to his generally weakened con-
ditiOn, the doctors there were appre-
hensive of the outcome of an operation
for the removal of the leg. He return
ed home several weeks ago. Itappears
that the bone near the hip joint had
become deoayed. Everything had
been done to arrest the disease, but
without avail. Saturday last the
patient had a fall, and this greatly
aggravated the case. At anv rate an
examination disclosed the fact that the
bone near the hip joint was broken.
A consultation was held, and the heroic
measure of removing the leg close to
the hip joint was decided upon as the
only course of averting a fatal termina-
tion. In the patients enfeebled con-
dition it was fully realized that this
operation was of the gravest character
Scatena himself agreed cheerfully to
taking the risk that held out any hope
of relief from the torture he has en-
dured so long, Wednesday morning
DR.. Endicott, assisted by Drs. Gall and
Lonigo, performed the operation.
The operation lasted about one hour.
1t was not quite finished when the
patient, to the practiced eye of the
surgeons, gave unmistakable signs of
collapse The heart action failed, and
in spite of all that could be done he
died, while still under the influence OF
chloroform. The diseased leg was
found to be in an advanced stage of de-
cay. The bone was eaten through near
the hip, and moreover, above the point
of amputation the disease had seri-
ously affected the hip bone. Without
an operation the patient could have
lived but brief period, and had he
survived the operation it was improb-
able that his hold of life would have
exceeded one month.
Two cousins from San Francisco were
summoned prior to the ordeal, as the
surgeons held out but the faintest hope
of a successful operation. Deceased
was 48 years of age, He was native
of Italy, and leaves a wife and three
children, He holds half interest in
the saloon business of Talente &
Scatena, valued at about $1,000. The
funeral is announced for Saturday, at
10 o'clock, under the auspices OF the
FOresters of America, of which order
| he was member.

Train Wreck.

The mixed passenger and freight
train that left lone for Calf Saturday
morning was partially wrecked on the
trip. We understand that a coal car
broke in two, dumping its contents on
the track and damaging the line for a
short distance. The passenger cars
were behind the wrecked car, but no
one was injured. A wrecking crew
had to be sent for from Sacramento to
clear the debris and repair the damage,
before the up train could make the
trip. AS result the train did not
leave Gait until midnight, and the
stage did not reach Jackson until 5
O'Clock Sunday morning.

JUSTICES AND CONSTABLES'
SALARY SETTLEMENT.
The County is worsted Nearly $4,000.

At the meeting of the board of super
visors last Monday the matter of set
tlement with the justices and consta bles
of the various townships, under the
salary law passed at the last Legislature,
came up for final adjustment. w. J..
McGee, attorney for the township
officers, objected to the supervisors
having anything to do with the matter,
as it was simply computation, and
that rested with the auditor. There
upon the supervisors declined to pass
on the claims in any shape. After
deducting the amount each officer had
been paid as fees under the old law,
the amount found to be still due to
square the account was as follows

strohm Out For Supervisor.

The political card of John Strohm,
as an Independent candidate for super
visor in township one, will he found in
this issue. Mr.. Strohm says he has
been urged by so many citizens, demo-
Gratis aud republicans vieing in the re-
quest for him to become a candidate that
he could not turn deaf ear to the de-
mand. His petition, asking that his
name be placed on the ticket as an in
dependent candidate, was filed with the
county clerk last Saturday. 1t con-
tains 27 names-just the required num-
ber of three per cent of the total vote
cast in the township at the last general
election, the total vote being few
short of 900. StrOhm believes that he
stands good show to get away with
the plum. There can be no doubt that
be will draw considerable vote. Re-
publicaus, however, have a candidate
who is a sound, conservative, business
man; one who has announced his policy
TO let all road work by contract that
comes within the meaning of that law,
and to give residents of the neigh bor-
hood where work is needed, the prefer
ence in work, thereby bringing self in
terest into play in getting good work
done. Such policy is what is needed.
1t is the right course. and Mr.. Bright
is the kind of man to do just what he
says. He acts according to his prom
ises The republican vote is enough to
elect him, and if the people of township
one want wholesome change in county
affairs they can depend upon Mr..
Bright to do his utmost to that end.
