Mr.. EDITOR:
A few lines from this growing sec.
ton will not be out of place at this
time. Our little town is coming TO
the front as rapidly as any town in
the country. The bridge which is
now in process Of construction
across the two rivers here. when
completed, will add greatly to the
convenience of our people. We
are in the center Of great farming
section, which is demonstrated b.
the fact that our farmers have form
ed company. and have contracted
with the Elgin Creamery people, of
Chicago, TO build large creamery at
this point, the building and machin-
cry alone to cost thIrty-fve hundred
dollars.
There are other improvements be.
ing considered and discussed by our
energetic citizens, but no decided
action has been taken, so we will
moi mention them. We think.
however, thatgieat things will be
done at this place in the near future.

An Answering Silence.

Young ladies with a fondness

warned by an episode at sea-

about twenty years his senior.
One day the charmer asked the
swain to go bathing, and after
the bath, as they returned to
their lighthouses, the small man
suggested a race to see who
could dress first. They entered
the lighthouses. which adjoined

treble called. Miss Ethel, oh

A low contralto answered,

After a short pause the ire

Ethel, I've got my shoes on"
Again came the answer. Yes

Again a pause-then tri-

Learn HON to Rest.

"To understand how to rest is of
more Importance than to know how to
work" says writer in the American
Analyst. "The latter can be learned
easily; the former it takes years to
learn, and some people never learn
the art of resting. 1t is simply a
change of scenes and activities.
Loafing may not be resting. Sleeping
is not always resting. Sitting down
for days with nothing to do is not
restful. A change is needed to bring
into play a different set of faculties
and to turn the lite into new chan
mel. The man who works hard finds
his best rest in playing hard. The
man burdened with care finds reliet
in something that is active, yet free
from responsibility.
This goes to explain why the man
who works eight or ten hours a day
at desk or in office becomes so en-
thusiastic about and is so greatly
benefited by the game OF golf. 1t is
game that combines the needed out
door excerjse with an intense interest
that diverts the mind, giving it a
complete change of thought. 1t gives
the tired mind just what it needs.

TO CLEANSE VARIOUS
ARTICLES

Renovate rusty, limp black lace by
dipping it several time in water III
which black kid gloves have been
boiled for an hour, then left to soak
until the water is tepid. Squeeze the
gloves hard before removing them.
Use a quart of water for pair OF
gloves. There is coloring matter as
we'll as stiffening in the water thus
treated.
To clean straw hats, dissolve one
penny worth of salts lemon in a cup
of boiling water, thoroughly clean the
straw with this, and when dry brush
over with white of egg.
For washing lawns, organdies and
cambrics, boil two quarts OF clean
wheat bran in two gallons OF water
for half an bour after the boil begins.
Leave it until it is cold and strain
through a thick cloth, pressing hard.
Wash the muslin in this, using neither
soap nor starch. Iron while damp
over several thicknesses of flannel, or
clean old blanket.

Burned to Death i n Forest Fire.

A forest fire near Hodson last Sun
day was the cause of ending the life
of Ed. McCarty, we'll known res
ident of that section, and came near
causing the death of two other men.
The fire was an extensive one and the
whole community was out fighting it.
ED MoCarty, Jesse Mct'alI and Yanoy
Vlckery we're together in brushy
section of the country, and had a
horse and buggy along. Before they
we're aware of their danger they found
themselves surrounded by flames.
The three men got into the buggy
and endeavored to escape by forcing
the horse through the flames at a
point where the enoircling danger
seemed narrowest. When the horse
reached the ring of fire he whirled
suddenly, overturning the buggy,
and throwing all three men out, and
into the fire. McFall and Vickery
we're thrown on their feet, and making
a good run through the fire were soon
in a place of safety, though their
clothing was mostly burned from
their bodies.
McCarty appeared to be stunned by
the fall and did not rise, and was
quickly overcome by the smoke and
fi1e. The horse and buggy were also
burned by the fire, and the CHASTITY re-
mains were found near togther after
the fire had done its work.
Ed. McCarty was native of Cali
tornia about 80 years of age. He had
always resided at Copperopol1s, and
was a brother of j, d. and +. I. Nc

town.-Calaveras Prospect.

THE BARNEY INQUEST.

The Placerville Nugget gives the
following particulars of the Barney
tragedy.
The testimony at the inquest show
ed the facts of the shooting to be as
follows: About 8 O'Clock Monday
Mrs. Barney was preparing breakfast
in the one room log cabin in which the
family lived, when without warming
the aged husband and father fred at
his wife with shot gun. The charge
of buckshot, with which the gun was
loaded struck the woman in the
temple killing her Instantly. There
were no words between Barney and
his wife and no reason for the murder
has been discovered. Before the killing
Barney took his gun and went out of
the house to hunt squirrels. He kill
ed one in the brush nearby and re-
turned to the house keeping the gun
in his hands. Awaiting his opportun-
ity he fired at the unsuspecting woman
and she fell dead at the feet of her
married daughter Mrs. Mary Wright.
Barney then left the house followed
by Mrs. Ybright, and in reply to the
latter's lamentations said "No one is
more sorry for this than l ain, but it
had to be done. HE also told her
that Mrs. Barney had attempted to
poison him, showing her his tongue
us evidence of the fact, the tongue be-
ing slightly red and swollen but as
the result of slight illness and not
of poison. Barney than stated that he
was going to Amador county to give
himself up, and left the place telling
his daughter to send for the coroner.
A shot was heard shortly alter
Barney left and couple of hours af-
ter his body was found, by aid OF
dogs, in the thick brush quarter of a
mile away from The house.
He had put the muzzle of the gun in
his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The entire back part of his head was
blown oft and portions of the brain

CLARENCE MURPHY WAS
MARRIED IN STOCKTON.

Clarence Murphy was married in
Stockton June l, 1901, by Justice
Parker. The justice was reminded of
the fact by one who remembered the
incident. Justice Parker remem bers
that he was called to the office of
Jacobs & Flack where the young
couple awaited him. The bride was
Eva AngeIene Zwinge, aged eighteen
of Mountain Ranch. Murphy was
only twenty and had to have the con-
sent of a parent or guardian. His
brother, Ernest performed that office
for him, signing himself "brother
and guardian. 1t is reported that
Clarence has been married again
since that event, but whether
widowed or divorced has not been dis
closed. The fact that he was married
in the office of Jacobs & FIack may
have led to the retaining of that firm
to defend him in the Lancha PIana
murder case. Stockton Independent.

Up in "green Alaska" as John Bur

blue with yellow center that grew to
the height Of about foot. A handful
Of 1t looked like something just caught
out Of the sky above" In another par
agraph he speaks Of the forgetmenot
growing round an Eskimo encampment
at Plover bay, within sight Of the Sibe-
rian coast, that was scarcely an inch
high, Of deep ultramarine blue, the
deepest, most intense blue I ever saw
In wild flower"

BOATING ON THE NILE.
The Best Pilots Run Aground Two OF
Three Times q Day.

Three Times a Day.
Navigation on the Nile is not so COM
plicated a matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son in Outing. To run at full speed
upon sand bar Is an occurrence Of
such frequency as hardly to elicit a
comment from the passengers. The
rev take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails a great
amount Of shouting and some work
The Nile below the first cataract is
fairly broad, muddy river, flowing be-
tween deposed banks varying from
5ix to eight to twenty to thirty feet In
height. Its surface is interrupted ev-
erywhere by sand spits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
Of birds. The channel, If such it can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev-
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times a day.
1t is, of course, impossible to proceed
at night, and each days voyage comes
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boats nose is
simply run plump on the bank, two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast, and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method, without any ostentation and
requiring very little knowledge Of
mathematics; it has also the advantage
Of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river,
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village in which case the
bank is lined with silent, curious fig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped In
their white cloth coverings. Once we
tied up beside lonely brick kiln. The
sight was a weird one. The red flare
Of the furnace, fed with sugar cane,
cast intermittent flashes of light int8

black half naked natives, while over
head was the cloudless, star lit sky Of
Egypt.

Owing to the fact that Mr.. Barney

ITEMS WORTHY
OF PERUSAL
essseee esesees

Norwegian has devised a tele-
phone which, when placed in the sea,
announces the presence of deep-water
fish. The instrument consists of a
microphone in steel box hermetioal-
ly sealed, which is lowered into the
water and connected with the fishing
vessel by electric wires. According
to the inventor, the presence of fish,
and approximately their number and
kind, may be distinguished. Herring
make whistling noise, and the sound
made by Goldfish is more like bowling.
A special car on the Indiana Union
traction company line made record
breaking run from Noblesville to
Indianapolis on June q, covering the
twenty-five miles IN twenty-seven
minutes. This including five miles in
the city, where the speed was slacken-
ed.
A dispatch from Roswell, N. M.
says: Roswell boasts of having the
first plant in the United States tor
the manufacture of cement shingles.
The shingle is Swedish product and
was brought directly here from his
native Sweden by A. L. w. Nilsson,
who established the plant here. He
has the exclusive patent for the
United States. Plants tor the manu-
tacture of the shingle will be es-
tablished in the near future in several
of the middle west and northwestern
states. The shingle is practically in
destructible and is also inexpensive.
In our postgraduate hospital, says
the Postgraduate, we have establish
ed fact which will finally obtain
general acceptance, namely, that it is
not necessary to seek a particular
culosis; that patient in the top story
of New York house in the middle
of winter, in bed, with the windows
wide open, with proper feeding, may
recover from tuberculosis; and in
our ambulance service, and in our
annex in Nineteenth street, we are
accommodating the proof of this every
day. At the national meeting of the
Amer ican congress for the study of
tuberculosis it was with great difficult
| ty that the now antiquated belief
that particular climate was necessary
for the cure of tuberculosis, as pre-
sented in report from Southern
physician, received the sanction of
the congress. This was done only by
small majority, large minority
apparently having the opinion that we
have just stated. We predict that at
the next annual meeting of the
tuberculosis congress the majority
will be on the other side, and it will
be firmly established that the opinion
of the medical profession is that
climate has very little to do with the
cure of tuberculosis.
The way the Singalese and Tartar
tribes have of popping the question
is singular. The man sends and pur
chases the lady's wearing apparel.
Of course If she does not like the
gentleman she need not part with the
contents vf her wardrobe, but if he is
the favored one she readily does so,
knowing that when the evening comes
they will be returned to her by the
suitor in person. He spends the
night beneath the same roof with
her, and the next day, after certain
amount of feastlng is gone Though.
the couples thumbs are tied together,
and henceforward they are man and
wife.
