Picnicking Party.

On Sunday last about twenty-five
members of the Uniform Rank K. of P.
took carriages and drove out to the
Tabeaud reservoir for a days outing.
Target shooting, boat riding, sliding
down hill, and other pastimes we're in
dulged in. The fatted lamb was killed
and barbecued on the grounds by A. G.
Barrett, and after devouring whole
hind quarter A. B. Caminetti pro-
nOunced it the best barbecued lamb
that he had ever tackled. DR.. Gall
acted as furnace builder Caminetti
gathered the wood, from a nearby
woodshed } William Tyack took along
eighteen pasties and surprised the
crowd by eating them all himself. Geo.
Brown acted as chief adviser for every
one, and was always in the way when
any one tried to do anything, and
''father Hoskins" volunteered to re-
turn thanks at the table, but went
back on part of it when the empty
pasty dish was passed to him. VIM.
Mora uncorked several bottles of
champagne, and after a brief but
pointed speech by DR.. A. M. Gall, all
drank freely to Mares liberality.
After luncheon Brown invited half
dozen or so of the party to enjoy a
boat ride with him, but after listening
to narrowing shipwreck story told
by "Father Hoskins," but three brave
hearts beat in the breasts of those
gathered around him. Ousby, Barrett
and Caminetti, the latter having fasten-
ed two horse collars on his feet for life
preservers, stepped aboard, and were
soon sailing DER the blue waters of the
beautiful lake. In a few moments
Brown shed his coat, then his vest,
next his sweater, and lastly his shirt.
His companions noticed that he was
growing pale, but he refused proffered
help. Presently he fell forward in the
boat, declaring that man had fallen
overheard. He was taken on shore,
and when draining the contents of
small phial furnished by DR.. Gall he
declared that it was the first time he
had ever taken water in his life.
Target shooting was next in order.
Five entries were recorded. The lake
was selected as the target. Gall finally
refused to shoot, as he had heard it
anai0ct tho 1aU tO Yca Euoo.
"Father Hoskins" had left his glasses
at home and could not see the target.
Brown shot and hit the bank 600 yards
away. Ousby and Barrett each made,
the water splash, and were awarded
first prize. Mora furnished the prize,
and handed it to Barrett. Ousby de-
clares that no one but Barrett will ever
know what that bottle contained
originally, for it was the very essence
of emptiness when he received it,
After giving three cheers and tiger
for themselves, the party started home.
ward. The farmers along the way de-
clare that there were many unculti-
waited voices in that crowd, judging
from the many attempts they made at
singing on their way home. Since con-
sulting his wife, Tony Caminetti has
positively refused to furnish the coffee
boiler at the next outing. K. P.

The Shasta Courier says that
Caminetti carried only one county
in his district, namely his home
county, Amador. Our cotemporary
is mistaken. He carried three
counties at the southern end of the
line, by the following majorities:
Amador SAG, Tuolumne 172, Mari
posa 146. With these small ex-
ceptions, the vote was fairly unani-
nous for Gillett.

NEW SUIT
Killed in the Gwin Mine.

A miner named Ed Dalston was killed
in the Gwin mine on Monday morning
last. He was working in the 100 level,
when a large rock fell, striking him
and killing him instantly. The unfor-
tunate man had been working in the
mine only nine or ten days. He was a
Swede, and it is reported leaves a wife
aud two children, whose whereabouts
are unknown. Justice Burce of Mokel-
umne Hill, held an inquest the same
day, and the body was thereafter taken
to Mokelumne Hill for interment.
Deceased was member of Paloma
Miners Union. G. E. Wood, pro-
prietor of the Paloma hotel, was in
Jackson Tuesday, making inquiries for
the purpose of locating, if possible, the
family of deceased.

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Ct every

can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting II up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

Brookhayen has water works
and electric lights, which are
maintaining themselves. She has
i population Of patriotic and pro
gressiye people, and It is RE-
preach that she has no side walks.
Some people ale ready to criticize
the Board of Aldermen for not
providing a side walk ordinance.
An effort was made To provide
brick side walks, but it failed in
toto. The argument was made
BIZ those who opposed it that It
would cost too much at once, and
that If il could be arranged SO chat
the cost could be divided III four
payments they would not object.
/ think this can be done, but it
cannot be done unless the people
assist the Board. a scheme, I'M
der section 1O11 and 1912 OF the
code, can be provided SO that a
contractor will be willing to do
the work and take the city's war
rants, based on the cost Of each
side walk, payable in /, 2, 3, and
4 installments, with 10 per cent.
interest, arranged ID such way
that the paper could be discount
ed and used by him. Are the peo-
pie of Brookhaven ready for such
improvement In order that the
matter can be finally determined
by next spring it is necessary to
begin now.
At the present time, under the
law, the Board is powerless to
make any Improvement on the side
walk situation. There is no
scheme to require a person to
make side walk or keep it in re-
pail except that provided by sec
ton 1911 and 1912 Of the Code,
and unless some scheme is provid-
ed by authority of these sections,
under the circumstances, we will
have no side walks. a majority
of the property owners along the
streets to be improved can defeat
any effort on the part of the Board
to provide side walks on that
street. The Board is restricted in
its power to raise funds to have
this work done by the city in the
first instance. IL the people along
the severaLstreets wiIlpetition the
Board to provide side walks, along
the several streets scheme will
be provided as first indicated, and
we will ask for bids for the work
so that the cost of the same may
be known in advance of the ordi-
nance. Other towns are making
these improvements, and why not

that 1t belonged to the United States

the hunters, a corps Of skinners and

January and collected a great many

month an ocean gale destroyed their
schooner, drowned some of the men,
and left the rest inarooned upon the
