How TO Find Out

If there is any doubt in your mind as to
your ondition, take from your urine on rising
about four ounces, place it in a glass or
bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If
on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there
is a brick-dust settling. or is small particles
float about in it, your kidneys are in need of
immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used
in the leading hospitals, recommended by ply
sicians in their private practice, and is taken
by doctors themselves who have kidney all
ments, because they recognize in 1t the greatest
and most successful remedy for kidney, liver
and bladder troubles.

FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Ledger in this issue announces
a contest for two free scholarships
emitting the holders to six months
course in any department of the
Stockton Busines College. This
college in the thoroughness training
stands second to no institution of the
kind in the state. In addition to the
free tuition, the Ledger offers to one
receiving the highest number of votes
the sum of one hundred dollars in
cash for the support of the pupil
while attending school. The sum
may not be sufficient to pay the total
cost of board, room rent, and books
for the six months, but with reason
able economy, it will not fall far
short of doing So We do not believe
in taking tho entire burden off the
one seeking the educational training.
1t is better to stimulate ambition by
leaving something besides the matter
of acquiring knowlege to the student
himself. Let him or her. for the
contest is open to either sex, do a
little rustIing and he will be all the
better for it. Any worthy boy or girl
can receive business education by
doing little rustIing for new sub
scriptions to the Ledger. and for votes
from subcribers who pay their sub
scription between now and the 7th of
October next, when the contest
closes. The total amount offered in
this contest is over 5000. one half in
actual money. Nothing like this offer
has everbefore been made through the
columns of an Amador county paper,
Indeed the offer is as liberal as 1e-
wards now being offered for similar
contest in large cities by daily news
papers. We do not expect to make
anything out of the contest other
than adding to the subscription list,
and advertising the Ledger, and hav
ing the satisfaction of helping some
worthy boy or girl to secure a bust
ness education. 1t is the education
That helps one to fight the battle of
life to earn an honest living, that
counts. This is OF should be the goal
of all education. Now who will enter

THE lone RAILROAfA

The railroad from Martell's to lone
commenced operations for general
business, freight and passenger, last
Saturday, the first instant. Their pas
senger cars have not yet arrived from
the east, and may not be here for a
couple of weeks more. 70 tide over
the interval they have fixed up fiat
cars with seats, and made them COM
Portable and commodious to answer all
purposes. The opening business has
been very satisfactory. The first day
the passenger receipts am ounted to
S5S; really more than the company
anticipated. The fare from Martell s
Is 81. The stage fare from jackson to
Martell's is 25 cents; making ST.
for the whole trip. BY stage the single
fare was S15O. Through tickets from
jackson to San Francisco are issued
at the same rate as before, S5. The
trip is made in one hour over twelve
miles. This is slow travelling, but
the company prefer to take a careful
course; the road bed being new, and
the curves numerous and sharp, it is
deemed the better policy to run
slowly until the road bed is fully
tested. 1t is expected that the trip
will be made in not to exceed three
quarters OF an hour when the track
is settled and solid. AS tar as freight
rates are concerned the schedule
varies according to the character OF
the freight to be hauled. Some
articles are more than double the
rate of others. Explosives and mer-
chandise easily damaged bear high
rate, while such things as brick and
coal take the low rate. The charges
vary from 81. 40 to 81 per ton on car
load lots. Less than carload lots 81
is about the minimum rate.
The baggage wagon has continued
to haul the mail matter to and from
lone, owing to failure to secure the
consent of the Washington authorities
to the change of route to the railroad.
This was merely an oversight, and
will be remedied in a few days. at
most.
D. Mccall, the freight manager, was
in jackson Monday. He was called
here on account of the demand of
tesmsters of 81 per ton for hauling
from MaItells to Jackson. This is
regarded as too high by the railroad
company, and would bring them in
danger of competition from teaming
direct from lone. Unless saving in
freight is effected by shipping over
the railroad, the company realizes
that several merchants will continue
to employ teams from the depot at
lone. They think rs cents per ton is
enough from Martells to Jackson,
and stand ready to deliver freight at
that rate. On the other hand team
sters claim they cannot haul for any
such price.
Shippers must remember, that in
order to have their freight forwarded
by rail to Martells it is necessary to
send an oder to that effect to the agent
of the Southern Pacific at lone. The
mere marking the goods ''via lone
and Eastern R.R." is not sufficient.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Dora Angove Takes Her own
Life by Strychnine.

On Friday evening Mrs. Dora
Angove, wife of R. Angove, commit
ted suicide by taking dose of
strychnine. The rash act was taken
about five O'Clock in the afternoon.
Deceased was the daughter of Mrs. M.
Smith, and with her husband and
child has lived at the Smith home
near the hospital grounds. The
family did not live harmoniously, and
quarrels we're not infrequent. She had
threatened to kill herself several
times, but it was never dreamed that
she had any serious thoughts in that
direction. Mrs. Smith had made
arrangements day or two before to
dispose of the home. The daughter
had never been separated from her
mother, married or single. The idea
of separation was intolerable; and she
remarked that she "would die first. ~
About the time mentioned she got
quantity of strcyhnine in a teaspoon.
There was enough of the deadly drug
to kill number, and the possibility
is that if she had taken the quantity
she would have vomited, and lived.
A young girl, Pearl Pitois noticed her
with the spoon in her hand and sus-
pectiug the movement, attempted to
take it from her. Most of the con-
tents were spilled Oh the floor. The
little dog came and licked up enough
of the poison to kill him, but Mrs.
Angove did not know of this. 1t was
reported at first that she poisoned the
dog first to ascertain whether it was
strychnlne, and what quantity would
De sufficient to cause death. This was
not so. When the major part of the
drug was capsized, she seized the
spoon and swallowed what was left
therein. Those In the house we're
alarmed and called upon her to spit
the stuff out. But she firmly refused
to do so, and said she wanted to die,
and asked for water. DIR. Endcott was
sent for and reached the scene in less
than an hour after the poison was
taken. 1t had by that time a firm
hold upon the system. Already she
had had one spasm, and after the doc
tor came had several more, in one of
which she breathed her last. She lived
about one hour and half after swaI-
lowing the poison. Everything was
done to save her but without avail.
A coroner's jury was impaneled and
held an inquest on Saturday returning
a verdict of suicide. No doubt she
was beside herself, owing to poor
health and domestic trouble when she
committed the rash act.
Deceased was born in Livermore %
years ago, but nearly all her life
was spent in jackson. She was the
only survivor of large number of
children. The mother is heart broken
over the terrible affiictfon and has the |
sympathy of the entire community in |
her great sorrow. The funeral took
place Sunday the remains being in
tered beside those of her father, II.
M. Smith, who died several years ago.

GRASS FIRES.

A destructive grass fire swept over
the Pardoe lands along the Mokel-
umne river, near Lancha Plana, last
Saturday, destroying large quantity
of dry feed, on which the stockmen
largely depend for the support of
their stock during winter.
On Monday another fire ragged below
Drytown, doing much damage.
Yesterday fire broke out near
Mountain Springs, south of railroad
track, and swept south towards Stony
creek. A large force was sent out
from this neighborhood to fight the
flames. 1t was still burning this morn
ing, but fairly under control.
