DIED FROM TYPHOID FEVER.

Willis Fl. Boydston, proprietor OF
the City Pharmacy, died Tuesday
evening, after an illness of two weeks
from typhoid fever. When the fever
developed into serious character, he
was removed to the residence of Ii.
G. Shear, on Pitt street, where he was
given the assistance of two trained
nurses, and all that medical skill
could do to pull him through. He
was not of robust constitution, and
this initiated against his recovery.
The disease rapidly developed to a
fatal termination. Monday the at
tending physician informed his reIa-
tlves that the case was hopeless, and
he died about 10 O'Clock Tuesday
evening. Deceased was a native of
Amador county aged 30 years. The
remains were taken to Volcano We'd
nesday evening and the interment
took place yesterday, his body resting
in the family plot i'll the Volcano
cemetery we're his father was buried
several years ago. He leaves a mother
and sister in Volcano, also a brother
Elmer of jackson. Deceased was a
favorite with all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. He was a man
of strict integrity, affable and oblig-
ing at all times. His removal from
life's stage will be deeply regretted
by all who knew him.
Amador ledger., 1905-07-14
EXPRESS RATES.

1t is a we'll known fact that the ex-
press charges on all kinds of mer-
chandise coming to Jackson have been
extortionateIy high. Before the ad-
vent of the railroad the charges by
express from lone we're $50 per ton.
From San Francisco to jackson small
parcels we're scheduled at six cents
per pound. That is certainly high
protection tariff. 1t was following the
oft quoted rule OF charging all the
traffic will bear. 1t was thought that
with the near approach of the railroad
some relief would be afforded the
citizens in the matter of express
charges. But we are told the old time
rates are to be retained, $50 per ton
eXpressage between lone and jackson.
A petition is being circulated III Jack
son asking for a lower schedule of
rates. Every business man will sign
it, and very few residents, if any will
hesitate to place their names to so
reasonable a request. With ordinary
freight at So to 81 per ton between
the two towns we fail to see the sense
in changing 11a cents per pound for
twelve mile haul by rail, and two
miles by stage.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

July 13.
evening from heat prostration, this
being the only fatal case ever known
here. Although far advanced IN years
and sadly crippled from rheumatism,
Mr.. Harrel had retained almost the
sole care of his garden and an extern
sive patch of small fruits. On this
day he had been at work as usual but
came to the house in the afternoon
and sat down. Some members of the
family noticed that he looked ill and
asked if he wished anything. Not be-
ing answered, the family became
alarmed and sent for physician, but
life was extinct before help could
reach him. The funeral took place
Monday afternoon, the Rev. S. H.
Phillips OF Plymouth officiating. Mr..
Harrel was born in Decatur, illinois,
and lacked one month of being 78
years of age. lie was one of the
pioneers of the state having come
across the plains in 1850, but after
ward returned to the east where he
married. The spell of the west was
upon him however and in few years,
with his wife and two little sons he
came again to the Golden state, settl-
ing in the valley. He was the father
of nine children, of whom seven sur
vived, all grown to maturity. A sad
incident was the fact that his young
est daughter, Mrs. W. H. Crofton of
Sacramento had just left for Los
Angeles and none of the kilograms sent
to various points were able to reach
her in time. James Harrel of Sacra-
mento and Mrs. NJ. P. Harbin of
Diamond Springs, his son and
daughter, arrived in the valley on
Sunday, to attennd the funeral.
Miss Alma Lewis of San Francisco
visited her grandmother Mrs A. j.
Grain last week, and went to Indian
Diggings on Monday 10 spend few
days with relatives there.
Mrs f. A. Rouff of Sheep Ranch is
visiting her mother, Mrs Grain.
Misa Ollie Bari ber came up from
Sacramento, last Friday for short
vacation, at her home in the valley.
Miss Louise Mclaughlin has been
elected teacher of Williams school for
s second term.
Mr. and Mrs Ivan Grain we're down
from Indian Diggings laat Sunday,
returning Monday afternoon.
The refreshing drop in the tempera-
ture for the past few days is decided
ly welcome, after one of the longest
periods of excessive heat on the
records. Shan.

ASSESSMENT VALUATIONS.

The lone Echo gives the following
statistics from the assessment roll
of the present year:
Assessor Marchant has turned his
roll over to the supervisors and audi
tor, having completed his work There
is very healthy increase in the
amount of taxable property in the
county this year over last years as
sessment. 1t should be taken into
consideration, also, that there is
total of S121, ,707 of personal property
exempt under section 101a. This,
added to the net increase of S216, 965,
gives an increase of 1888, 735 over last
year in valuation of property of the
county.
The totals of the assessment roll are
as follows:
Value of real estate other than
city and town lots S2,8O9, 263
Value of city and town lots 277, ,235
Value of improvements there

road company, which will perhaps be
as much more.

Amador ledger., 1905-07-14

The articles appearing in the
Examiner dated from jackson plainly
indicates that a concerted effort is
being made to rob sheriff Norman of
his full mead of credit in the mn
earthing of these crimes. The last
report from jackson to that paper,
never mentioned the sheritf's name,
or the sherlffs' office. That this was
done designedly, and with the pre-
conceived intent to try to belittle his
services is patent to any reader.
That political motives are underlying
this contemplate proceeding is also
evident.
But the scheme will not succeed.
but rather react against the pIotters.
Norman has been from the beginning
the head and front of this unravel-
ment; and the people of Amador
county are fully aware of the fact.
Political animus will not succeed in
diverting from him one title of the
OAOoius OuuO1oC bDO los vi LIE
own county he has persistentIy fol-
lowed every clew until the whole mur-
derous plot is laid bare and the crimi-
nails are captured. Furthermore it
may be said, that i'll working alone be
has saved the state and county the
sums offered as reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderers.
Officers are not allowed to receive
such rewards. This provision is some
times neutralized by the officer tax
ing in some outside party into his
confidence as. an assistant in the de-
tective work for the purpose of claim
ing the reward. Sheriff Norman has
not stopped to this business. He
worked alone and candidly says SO,
thereby kept the reward money in
the respective public treasures.

IN APPRECIATION.

The graduating class of 1905, Jack
son Grammer School, sprung happy
surprise on their late teacher, Mr..
A. l.. Anthony on the occasion of
the recent commencement exercises.
inst before the class song was sung
Miss Susan Laughton stepped for
ward and IN neat speech presented
to their teacher, Oh behalf of the
class, beautiful self-filllng fountain
pen. The principal responded in a
few appIeciative words, feelingly ex-
pressed, and the happy incident was
closed. A day or two atterward,
however, something even more valu-
able, perhaps, was handed to Mr.. An
thony-the following testimonial,
signed by the members of the class
"We the unders igned, the gradual
Ing class of 1905 of the jackson gram
mer school, hereby take this method
of expressing our appreciation of the
earnest efforts of our teacher, Mr.. A.
l.. Anthony, in our behalf during the
past school year. This is the largest
class that has ever graduated from
this school, every member having
passed the examinations. We hereby
express our thanks to him for his
careful, patient, and untiring labors
for our success, and we unhesitating
ly recommend him as a thorough
gentleman and an efficient and pains
taking teacher.

THE lone SITUATION.

At the next meeting of the board
of supervisors there promises to be a
lively tilt between the saloonists and
anti-saloon league over the matter OF
granting liquor licenses to saloons
whose places of business are within
two miles of the Preston reform
school. All the saloons of lone come
within the prescribed limits. If the
laws is to be literally interpreted, all
the dram shops must close, or move
out into the wilderness. AS matter
of fact, however, all are running full
blast, as though no such tinkered law
stood upon the books. And further
more no complaint has been made
against those who are running counter
the officers to see that the law is en-
forced, 1t is a misdemeanor to keep
GROCERY within the two mile limit.
The township officers have full con-
troll and can make the arrests and try
the cases.
But it would seem the burden is
to be thrown in other directions if
possible. The questions involved
can only be definitely settled by test
ing the constitutionaIity of the law
by an appeal to the supreme court,
and the quicker this is done the better
it will be for the community. Are
those who want the law enforced
afraid of the outcome of court trial
and appeal. 1t really looks that way.
A delegation was before the super
visors Monday in regard to the mat
ter. The board refused to hear them,
as there we're no applications from
lone for licenses that would come up
for action. But the August meeting is
the time at which all applications for
the privilege of selling liqour have
to be presented and acted upon. The
anti-saIoonists want the board to de-
cline to grant licenses to saloons now
doing business within two miles of
the Preston school, because of the
jumbIed state law. In this way the
board Is asked to dispose of the whole
question so far as this county is con-
cerned. The onus of suing through
the courts would then be passed up
to the saloon men. They would have
TO take the initiative. Hence,
strong fight is likely to be made in
behalf of both sides before the super
visors next month. The supervisors
are faced with a suit no matter how
they act. If they grant licenses, the

THE LANCHA PLANA HORROR

Editor LEDGER would like a small
space in your paper in regard to the
Lancha Plana murders. | notice that
someone in the Examiner is airing his
prejudice against our sheriff. and at
the same time exhibiting his ignor
ance OF the facts. Why these uncaIIed
for filings at sheriff Norman. IL is
because he is not democrat. nor
trains with the yellow journal. 1t saws
II some one of ability was working on
the case the guilty ones would have
been revealed. Our sheriff has NOT
worked alone. He has had the exper
lenoe and ability of the officers of our
nelghboring counties to assist in fret
ting out the crime. If this Examiner
writer with his aids in the back
grounds knows more than the concen
trated shrewdness of the officers
working on the case, why doesshe not
get out and win the big rewards of
Tered for the elucidation of the trad
gedy. The Nick Carters or Diamond
Dicks need not expend all of their
genius in the columns of the Ex-
amlner; in pointing out the path the
sheriff ough to take, and at the same
time praying that he will not succeed
in solving the mystery. The know
lt-all fellow can hunt OH his own ac-
count, and Dut his hand IN tho nra
petrators of these bloody deeds. OF
course this would be better recon-
mendation for support for the office of
sheriff than taking a back seat, and
wisely telling what ought to be done.
Let Norman alone. He is working
all right, much more to the point
than the Examiner wiseacre and his
claquers.

A BAD ACCIDENT.

A miner named j. b. Garbar ini was
the victim of terrible accident in
the Kennedy mine last Friday morn
ing. He and others were about to
come on top. They stopped at the
27OO station, and while Garbarini was
doing something with the pIanking,
the skip was started and Garbarini
was crushed in a shocking manner
In the lower part of his body. A ter
rible cash was cut in the under part
OF the thigh, and he was otherwise
badly crushed. He will likely re-
cover. but will feel the effects of the
accident through life.

THE FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.

In our article last week on the offer
of the Ledger to give two scholarships
emitting, each holders TO any course
in the Stockton Business College
not to exceed SIX months, we mad
vertently fell in ono lr two errors.
The offer is also de to give one
hundred dollars in connection with
the first prize to the candidate reoeiv-
ing the highest mum Der of votes, for
expenses of board and lodging while
taking this business course. In a
spirit of caution, and not wishing to
hold out hope that might not be
realized, we said that this might not
be sufficient to pay for the whole of
the expenses of the student for six
months. In this statement, we are
pleased to say, we fell into an error.
We have received a letter from the
president of the college, stating that
the sum appropriated will be sutfi-
cient to cover the cost of the six
months course; so that the successful
candidate need not be out one dollar
in securing thorough business train
ing in any course he may choose to
select. We produce the following ex-
tract from President Gardiner s
letter:
Your appropriation of one hundred
dollars is sufficient to pay for board
and lodging at our club house and
allow substantial margin for books.
In view of the fact that we charge S13
per m onth of four weeks for board
and lodging, the six months course
would figure up S84. so; this would
allow SIS. 80 for books. which is suffi-
cient for any course in this institu-
tion. We make this statement be-
cause your editorial speaks as though
the $4,000 would not be sufficient,
but you see by these figures that you
have appropriated enough to allow
the pupil to spend the SIX months
here without any expense over and
above what is given him.
Another mistake was made in the
value of the second prize of a free
six months scholarship. This was
given at S37. so. 1t should be S65.
This mistake was not ours, but a
clerical error in making out the
scholarship. Both scholarships ale in
the possession of the editor of the
Ledger, and may be seen at the Ledger
office. The total value of our offer is
therefore $3.50; S13O in two S65
scholarships, and 500 in cash for ex-
penses of the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes. The voting
is to be by Ledger subscribers, new
or old, paying in advance or arrearage,
as fully detailed in the offer pub
ilshed on the fourth page of this is
sue. Who will contest for this great
offer of free business education. Let
some boy or girl make start in
securing new subscribers to the
Ledger, OF inducing present subscrib-
ers to pay up and cast the vote which
such payments entitIe them to for
their favored candidate. Subscrip-
tions are coming in right along, but
no candidates have been voted for so
far. Unless a start is made in the
course of this present month by at
least two candidates appearing, the
offer will be withdrawn.

THE FIRE STORY WAS A BEAUTY

In the San Francisco Call of Satur.
day night was an account of the burn,
Ing of the Nevada House, the loss
being placed at $4,000, and further
described as being lone of the finest
buildings IN Angels Camp" It is
not known who the Call correspon-
dent is, but his fire story was GER
tainly beauty, and especially the
portion wherein he described the work
of the fire company to save the sur
rounding buildings; also the loss.
The proprietor of the lodging house
places his loss at $40. The correspon-
dent places Angels Camp property at
a very high valuation. Angels Rec
