The cotton market opened strong at an ad-
vance Of 10@17 points, in response to higher
cables. There was very heavy realizing, but
there was also an active and excited demand,
and after the market had reacted couple Of
points, prices again advanced to a net gain
of about 20@21 points, followed by both the
English and southern markets. Spot adyices
continued sensattonally firm and. while the
weather was considered favorable, bulls still
claim that prospects favor a small crop next
season.
Al midday the market continued feverish,
with prices little off from the best, but still
some 2b@27 points net higher. There was
very heavy realizing, but on every small drop
in prices there was renewal of bull sup

l had been suffering with kidney
trouble for year and about three
months ago it became complicated
with stomach aiIment to such an
extent that had to stop my work at
the Keystone mine, Amador City. l
treated with two doctors but grew
worse, until they stated l had at last
a bad case OF appendicitis. l then
went to San Francisco where four
prominent physicians stated L un-
questionabIy had appendicitis and
must be operated on. Then l thought
of DR.. T W. Hing, the noted Chinese
phys ician, and returned to Sacra-
mento August 9th. DR.. Hing told
me at once l not only had an attack
OF appendicitis, but my stomach and
kidneys were diseased. His treatment
gave me prompt relief, in less than
ten days [ was cured of the append
icitis entirely without any operation.
My stomach and kidneys improved
from the first until now l am per
fectly we'll in every way and will re-
turn to Amador City the end of this
week. This may seem like a miracle,
bu l am right here in Sacramento
ready to vouch for its truth. Those
suffering from i'll health in any form
ought to consult Dr. Hing He is a
remarkable physician, his treatment
is perfect and his fees uost reason
able. Appendicitis in his hands has
lost all its terrors. See him at No.
725 sreet, and ask him about my
case.

ton people and is situated about four
miles from Angels Camp in this
county. The victims we're P. Clecak
and Charles Vlautin both single men.
They had been engaged in opening up
a new level 700 feet under the sur
face, and had been blasting. They
returned to the level too soon after
one large blast had been exploded.
Time must be allowed tor the deadly
gas generated by the explosive to es-
cape, in order that fresh air may get
in, but in their hurry to continue the
work they descended to the level
before sufficient time had elapsed,
and were asphyXiated. CIecak, who
was about l9 years of age, was
relative of Supt. Voihich of the mine.
Vlautin was % years old. Chronicle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Dolling have

like store with its1stock of merchan-
disc. wherein person may take one
article or the entire stock, if he is
willing to pay tor it. Some commu-
mites require little, others desire
much. So tax rates vary from a nom
inal sum to an amount that some tax
payers may consider extravaganza.
The instant municipality corpora
tion Is organized the territory is
withdrawn from the jurisdiction of
the county authorities. The care of
the highways passes from the county
to the municipality, and likewise the
revenue for the care of roads goes to
the municipal treasury. No road tax
is levied on the property in incorpor-
ated towns. Also, under a recent de-
cision, the city has the right to I'M
pose licenses within its limits. With
the revenue from these two sources
some cities carry on the local govern
ment. 1t rests largely with the people
what the rate of taxes shall be. For
general purposes in sixth class cities
it cannot exceed seventy-hve cents on
the 800. This is certainly not an ex-
travagant rate. In many of the small
er cities rate of fifty cents is levied
in few smaller rate yet.
So in deciding upon the question of
incorporation the matter is not one of
increasing the tax rate, but it is of
determining whether or not all of the
advantages of municipal cooperation
will be on tap, whether we wish to
pay the price or not. In other words.
we are to lay in stock of sewers, fire
apparatus, water works, lighting
plants, parks, libraries, health and
police regulations, to be delivered to
us whenever we pay the cost thereof.
We may not wish many of these for
years, but they are handy to have at
hand.
The official salaries at first should
be small. Five hundred dollars per
annum ought to cover all official sal
aries in town of 5000 inhabitants.
l know of a town of nearly 1000, in
habitants where the clerk is paid but
500 per year, the attorney 500 per
year, the marshal and the tax collector
2 per cent of moneys collected, and
the treasurer a small commission.
In conclusion, l may state that the
city once incorporated rarely disin-
corporates. l do not know OF one in
the state where it is desired to aban-
don the local government at the pres
ent time. SO this may be considered
as proving the satisfactory character
of municipal corporations. New towns
are being incorporated at the rate of
three or four annually California
municipalities.
