The State Dental Board.

A statement was published in the
Call of Monday last that DIR. G. A.
Herrick of jackson, ex-president and
present secretary of the state board
of dental examiners, is in a combina-
tion, the object of which is to keep
down the number of dentists in the
state. This charge is made in con-
nection with the suit brought I. r.
Woodland against the board of dental
examiners for temporary permit
to practice dentistry. In CONVEX
sation with DR.. Herrick, he explain
ed that while temporary permits have
been issued, pending the regular
examination of the applicants, the
legal aspect of such permits was so
uncertain that it was determined to
discontinue their issuance Courts in
other states have determined that a
license once issued, certifying to the
proper qualifications in dentistry, can
not be recalled by the same body on
the ground that the holder is not a
fully qualified practitioner. In other
words, the examining board cannot
be committed to both sides of the
question, first alleging that man is
qualified and upon further examina-
tion that he is not. The law author
izing the temporary permits was re-
pealed by thes last legislature, so that
such permits can no longer be issued.
L. r. Woodland, graduate from an
eastern state, applied tor temporary
permit in December last. In accord
ance with the decision of the board
his request was denied; he must first
pass the required examination. He
started suit to compel the issuance
of such permit. 1t is contended by
the plaintiff that he is the victim
of conspiracy to limit the number
of dentistry practitioners in the state.
1t is held in behalf of the state ottic-
ials that the case of Woodland is not
an exceptional one; that he has been
treated the same as other applicants
in being required to pass the regular
examination before credentials are
issued. The rule now in vogue, and
which was in vogue at the time of
Woollard's application, has been ad-
hered to in every case, regardless of
the state from which the applicant
comes,

In Memoriam OF the Late Ruby Burns.

Enshrined art thou dearest, in mem
ory when sleeping,
By the ones that have known and
loved thee so we'll,
Thou wilt watch when thou wakest
Ger the ones that are weeping,
And return on white wings like a Wis
ion to dwell,
And drive back the tears with angelic
carressing;
Smooth out the burrows that sor-
row hath made,
And imprint on the soul and in sill
ence expressing,
That thou art flower that never will
fade,
Sleep whilst the grandeur of God in
his glory,
Stands out on the canvas in the reg
ions of time;
Wake in the bliss of eteInity's story,
AS an angel of light that is now
superfine. Nome.

not an atom of any harmful drug,
and it has been curing Coughs, Colds,

it. Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Mar

Methodist Convention.

The Methodist Convention announc-
ed last week in our columns met on
Wednesday evening, con tinued through
Thursday morning and afternoon, and
concluded last evening. The annouuc-
ed program was presented without a
break or substitution, and the attend
ance was good. Aside from the dele
gates from Pine Grove, lone, Sutter
and Amador, there was present DR..
JohnstOne, superintendent of the Jap
anese work on the Pacific coast, whose
residence in Japan for seventeen years
made him a most instructive and en-
tertaining speaker. DR.. G. w. Beatty,
of San Francisco, specialist in Sunday
school work as field worker of the
American Sunday School Union, gave
invaluable information concerning up
to-date methods in Sunday school work
DR.. W. W. Case, pastor Of the 9Th
street Methodist church of Sacramento,
who is if necessary a whole program
himself, by his genial nature and
nature scholarship made himself par
ticularly valuable. The convention
was presided over by DIR. E. D. Nc
Creary, presiding elder, and to him
much credit is due. The ladies of the
local church served bounteous lunch
to the delegates in the parlors Of the
church both noon and evening ol
Thursday, and this greatly contributed
to the enjoyableness of the occasion.
Jackson is better for every such gather
ing, for they tend to tone up the pub.
lie along lines too liable to be neglected.

THE STIMULUS OF A RAILROAD.

The influence of the railroad in
stimulating the industries of the
county can hardly be overestimated.
This fact was illustrated by an oc-
currence this week. The railroad is
not an actuality at present, still even
in prospective it is having its effect
in attracting attention to our re-
sources. 1t has been known for many
years that this section is strewn with
soapstone and tale deposits. They
have never been worked to any eX-
simply because the distance to Iail-
road was barrier to development of
this industry. This week Chas. I'll.
Congdon, who represents the tale in
dustry of the state, arrived in Jack
son, his business being to look into
the deposits hereabouts with a view
of building up an export trade of
this mineral. The demand is large
at present and steadily on the in
crease. He could easily dispose of
20 tons per day, if suitable material
we're available within easy distance
of shipping point. The approach
of the railroad, he frankly admits,
led him to come here. On Thursday
he visited several deposits couple of
miles east of jackson. He requires
tale of white color, or nearly so,
and large body of it, so situated
that it can be quarried out without
sinking. In the event of finding such
deposit, it means an important in
dustry, giving employment to num-
ber of men, and perhaps to the estab
lishment of mill in this neighbor-
hood, where the mineral can be
ground to an impalpable powder for
commercial use. Parties having such
a deposit, meeting the conditions
named, will do we'll to make the same
known, and leave samples of the
mineral at the Ledger office.

Our attention has been called to
a statement in the report of the re-
cent fatal accident at the Zeila, that
miners were in the habit of jumping
across the shaft in getting off the
skip, that is those riding on the side
of the skip next to the other shaft
compartment. While it is true that
the men do this sometimes, it is
strictly against the rules. The prac-
tice is to discharge an employe who
would needlessly jeopardize his life
in such way. The usual way is to
step on the centerbrace, and from
there on to terra firma, one short
step being necessary to that end. 1t
is in no case allowable to jump from
the centre brace across the shaft.
The management of the Zeila and
other mines are very particular in ad-
monishing the men not to take need
less risks in getting on and off the
skip.

AMERICANS ARE MISJUDCED
The Kind of Stories That Are in Circulation Among the
 Europeans.

It is not strange that Americans. should be. to some extent, misjudged Tn Europe. The following story was re- gently published in the Vienna Ncue Ftei Presse, under the head: "Curiosa- Amer ieana:
 A man from Boston was driving in little wagon through Texas. Sud denly bloodcurdling scene attracted his attention. A white man, revolver in hand. stood in a field over . negro who was digging trench
 The man from Boston, in whom the spirit of justice was strongly devel- oped stepped from the vehicle and asked:
 What are you doing to the negro?'
 That's none of your business You mad better get out.
 T must first know what is going on here"
 See here, young man; 1 am bad man. the worst in this neighborhood. have killed r white men without ever having been convicted, and as to negroes. shoot them In numbers to suit my pleasure before breakfast
 Yes. but what has this man done;"
 He owes me money and will not pay. shall kill him, but want him 10 dig his own grave
 ''If you do that, I shall see that you are hanged"
 .Nonsense How can you do that?"
 ''If there is any justice in the state of Texas, I shall not rest until see you hanged"
 Save yourself all trouble. The sheriff of the county is my uncle, the judge Is my brother-in-law. and as for the neighbors. no one would appear against me, because they all know that to do so would mean certain death
 In the meantime the poor negro had fallen at the feet of the white man, whom he abjeetly asked for mercy l he man from Boston considered few minutes and finally said; Tt seems to me there is no justice in the state of Texas How much does this man owe you?" Ten dollars"
 The man from Boston produced his purse. paid the amount and eontin- ued his journey In the next town he met a towns man to whom he related the adven- ture.
 My boy" said the second Boston man. we were both swindled. | also paid ten dollars to the same man torthe same purpose. The same game was probably played oaiiy. and the scoundrels reaped llch harvest
