MAKE AGITATORS PAY FOR IT
Sensible Suggestion of a Mother Anent
Election Expenses

LOS ANGELES. May 25.-(Editor Her
aId): Allow me to ask a few questions
on the coming no-saloon election. Why
do taxpayers have to stand the expense
of same? Why don't the parties agi-
tating be made to pay all moneys
spent? Our children have not at pres
ent decent accommodations for schools.
Last summer the little children, whose
parents pay school tax, were crowded
in sheds and suffered very badly from
heat. The Chapmanites say they will
still keep the farce up If they lose this
election. Win we have to stand this
expense while our children are waiting
for new school rooms mt for our young
20 be taught in? The citizens of this
city should act in some manner. that
the taxes we contribute to our city
should be used for a better purpose.
The drain on us by outside so-called
minister agitators should be put to a
stop at once and forever by some new
made law, G. w.

In the club rooms. where the tables
had been arranged. there were flowers
galore and suspended from the ceiling
over the table at which Mrs. Greenleaf

bright colored butterflies. Each guest
wore something which represented 4
Shakespearean or other literary char
acter and a guessing contest was one

happy faculty of guessing the charac-
ters. and to her was given a beautiful

CHICAGo'S NCRIMINATED STRIKE LEADERS

It is difficult to comprehend how intelligent working
men follow such leaders the managers of the
teamsers' strike in Chicago. The workingman
is a loyal, orderly, lawabidng citizen The leaders in
Chicago strike are sefconfessed lawbreakers
lawbreaker is criminal. That statement is fully justi
by the judicial of Chicago in relation the
present strike.
Cornelius p. Shea, Indianapolis who is presi
of the Brotherhood Of Teamsters is the chief leader
of the strike in Chicago. Shea and of the other
leaders who summoned to court witnesses in
connection with the riot cases. positively refused
tify the ground that their testimony might incrmin
them Such claim does not necessarily imply
confession of crime, but it bears very strongly in that
direction. No whose skirts clear of wrong
doing stands in fear of discriminating himself If Shea
a worthy to be the leader of thousands of
honest worlIngmen he would not take refuge behind
the legal provision that man shall not be obliged to
give sef-ncriminating testimony
Here is additional evidence, still glaring of the
untness of such Shea to be the leader of hon
est workers One witness testified, Il told Mr.. Shea
that there exists contract between the and
the carriage and liverymen that all troubles
should first be arbrated. He said there
and that during all contracts became null and void
How any respectable workingman indorse such
brazen violation of a contract? The contract
broken, of course, before the war commemorative
breaking of the contract was the declaration Of war.
And yet Leader Shea speaks of that dishonorabe act
with as little evidence of concern as he shows in his
plea that he might ncrimnate himself by tesying in
the riot
And here is further evidence bearing the character
Of Leader Shea, well calculated disgust any decent
workingman. The president of the Livery Owners
sociation testified thus: when asked Shea If he
would allow to deliver passengers in cabs to the boy
cotted stores he said he could not possibly allow it, He
said he had more than the mayor of Chicago and
that he had the drive every niger out of Chi
cago and throw him in the lake"
And yet, intelligent and thoughtful workingmen in
Chicago and other American cities bindly follow the
lead of such dangerous dsmagogues this Shea.
is not strange that such leaders fomen strikes and
create disorder for their occupation drones in the
labor hive soon would be gone If there strikes

LOST EVERYTHING BY FIRE.

Saturday night between 9 and 10
O'Clock, the Dewitt dwelling house
on Murphy's ridge, two miles south
of Jackson, was entirely destroyed by
fire, with all its contents. Ihe house
was occupied by Matt Thomas and
wife. How the fire originated is a
mystery, but it Is supposed that de-
fective stovepipe was the cause of the
trouble. 1t was fully three hours
after the evening meal had been dis
posed of and the fire in the kitchen
had been allowed to die out. Still it
is possible that sparks may have been
smoldering all the time and finally
started the blaze. Matt Thomas was
in jackson at the time, Mrs. Thomas
had retired to bed, with younger
sister, who was there for company.
Fortunately she was awakened by
something falling and rising to inves-
tigate, as she passed into the hallway
the door fell and the flames burned
her face and hair. She had all she
could do to save herself and sister.
All the furniture and clothing, ex-
cept that which she escaped in was
destroyed. The heat was so intense
that it melted the money that was in
the house into bullion. The loss in
furniture and valuables is put at
$1,000, upon which was not one dollar
of insurance. Matt Thomas has been
working on shares on lease of the
|O'FarreIl mine at Middle Bar.

THE NEVILLS- FLEMING
CONF ROVERSY.

The law contest between W. A.
on the one side, and W. A. Fleming
of Chicago on the other, over the
Mammoth Tunnel and mine at Mid
die Bar, entered upon another stage
| this week. The suit for S150, 600
against Fleming, tor balance alleged
to be due Oh the purchase of a halt
interest in the property for $3.50, 900,
is developing much acrimony and
bitterness Last Monday an addition
al suit was started by Nevills and
Jones against A. Fleming and E. P.
Raum for $4,000, for wrecking with
dynamite an air compressor and ma
chinery that was placed al the mouth
of the big tunnel for running the
drills. Raum some years ago located
the ground at the mouth of the tun-
mel, blocking the dumping facilities.
He has worked at intervals, in pros
pecting. 1t Is claimed from the plain
tif's standpoint that Raum acted in
this matter with Fleming, and that
the two we're in conspiracy to injure
the Amador Tunnel property. The
blowing up of the compressor occur
red two years ago, and the per-
petratoIs of the mischief were never
discovered. The machinery, however
had been idle for years previous.
The work of surveying and samp-
ling at the Mammoth tunnel and mine
in the interest of the Nevills side of
the case now on trial in San Francis
co, was finished last Friday. A num-
ber of witnesses went to the city
again Sunday, among them W. S.
Coulter surveyor, j. l.. Sargent, N.
p. Villains, A. M. Hambric. Judge
Rust, also went below at the same
time.
