Diphtheria Out of Town.

Diphtheria has disappeared from
Jackson. Not single case exists IN
town, at the present time. On the
south fork of Jackson creek, about
two miles from town, a case has
developed in the family of Mrs
F'regulia. The patient is boy of
thirteen years. The medical attend
ant pronounced it a case of this
terrible maIady the latter part of last
week. Constable Laverone, as health
officer, went out there, and gave
instructions to keep themselves in
doors and not allow visitors and so
forth, but decided not to quarantine
the premises. The action Of the
supervisors in rejecting bills for
supplies of drugs and disintectants
used in the town cases led to his
taking this stand. The bills he con-
tracted as county official for neces-
sary supplies, ordered at the instance
of the medical attendants as a safe
guard against the spread of the
disease, have not been paid. the board
holding that if financially able the
parties using the same should pay
the bills. So the health officer con-
cluded that he was not justified in
establishing quarantine and taking
any chances that obligations con-
tracted in his official capacity would
be turned down.

Convicted of Battery.

The trial of Robert Garth, charged
with battery in having struck district
attorney G. Il. Peters at the Wash
ington saloon on the 10th. was held
before Justice Spencer on Monday.
S. K. Hart of Sacramento prosecuted
the case and Garth was defended by
an attorney named Walker of Ala
media. -Four other men besides the
principals were in the saloon at the
time. 1t seems that tho district
attorney was on the sidewalk when he
was invited into the saloon to take a
drink. The testimony tor the pro-
secu tion was that Garth showed a
letter to Peters and asked him if he
knew the handwriting. He replied
that he did not, whereupon Garth
commenced torrent of abuse, drove
his back to the wall, and there they
struck at one another about the same
time. Garth was cut slightly under
one eye, and Peters was knocked
down, an eye being badly discoIored.
No weapons we're produced.
The jury evidently considered
Garth the aggressor as they brought
IN verdict of guilty. Some time ago
the district attorney received infor-
nation charging Garth with robbing
a drunken man. Garth was called
into the sherlff's Office and question
ed, but the case was dismissed, there
being no evidence. Garth has seemed
to suspect John E. Sexton of supply
ing this information and his resent
ment seems to have led to the assault
upon Peters and the more recent
alteration with Sexton at the LaRue
store.
The next morning at IL O'Clock
Justice Spencer sentenced Garth to
80 days in Jail with no alternative.
Notice of appeal was given and the
prosecution objected strenuously to
any bail being permitted, but Garth
was released under bonds of $500
pending appeal. .-Placervill Republ1-

Reforming the Revenue Laws.

We publish in another column the
circular issued by the state tax COM
mission appointed under law pass
ed by the last Legislature to simplify
if possible the revenue laws of this
state. The truth is staring the people
in the face that the expenses of the
state government are increasing at
such a rate, and are likely to con-
that now exist, that a materially
increased tax will be necessary to
meet them. Hence, the proposition
is raised to amend the constitution,
so that certain kinds of property may
be taxed for state purposes only, and
another class of property for local
purposes. The Ledger has thereto
fore expressed it's doubt as to any
advantages likely to flow from such a
revision. 1t looks to US, not like a
reform movement, but scheme to
lift the rapidly increasing cost of the
state system from the masses of the
people directly, and enable the sys-
tenn of extravaganza to be continued
indefinitely. 1t offers no relief.
Indeed. the double method of assess
ment and collection would doubtless
cost more than the present system.
There would be more state officers to
draw salaries, while the tendency tC
ask and secure enormous appro-
priations for the support of the
different state institutions would
remain unchecked, if not actually
intensified.
. 1t is not conclusive to say thai
similar system has been found tC
work satisfactorily in other and Older
states Perhaps SO; it does not follow
that it would prove equally salts
factory here. California has beer
nursed, like spoiled child, in ex
travagant notions, whereas the states
east, and middle west have from
necessity practiced economy. A mer'
charge III the mode of taxation, o.
the personnel of the tax collector
will leave the spirit and practice o
governmental extravaganza untouch
ed.
The suggestion to cut down tn
expense by assessing property ever.
four or five years, instead of annual
ly, as at present, should be enacte'
into law. 1t would effect materia
saving. Arrangement could easily b
made for the listing of new property
Also the idea of throwing the entir
cost of education upon the count.
government seems meritorious. In
deed, every change that shifts tn
burden from the state at large ont
the localities where the benefit i
received, seems to us a wise move
and in the interest of the people. AS
rule, people are more lavished wit
expenditures when the cost falls o.
the state than they would be if thei
own immediate community wer
called upon to foot the bills.

Death of Charles A. Stage.

ChareIs A. Stagg, we'll known as
hackman in Fresno for twelve years,
died at his rooms, 212l Kern street,
early on the morning of Novem ber
10th. Death came as a result of
cirrhosis of the liver. He had been
ailing for long time, but did not
take to his bed until about a week
ago.
Stagg was born in Santa Cruz,
about thirty nine years ago, his
father dying when he was an infant
and leaving his mother with two sons
and two daughters. The family re-
moved to Settle, Washington, where
Stagg went into the hack business.
He came to Fresno to follow the same
occupation in 1883. He was married
while here, and his wife died about
two years ago. His long residence
here and his place at the iske corner
made him one of the best known
figures in the center of stown. Last
summer runaway, in which he was
thrown to the ground from his hack,
caused him the breaking of two ribs
and other injuries. He was in busi-
ness with Louis Samuels.
The mother is living with a grand
daughter at Lodi, one sister is in
Jackson, and the other sister at
Settle. His brother, T. H. Stagg,
came from his home in Modesto
yesterday morning to make arrange
ments for the funeral, then returned
home, and will be back tonight.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
from the undertaking parloTs of
Shannon & Beall, at an hour to be
determined later.-t Fresno RepubIi-
