LONE VS. SACRAMENTO.
lone Girls Win at Basket Ball.

The basketball game between the
lone and Sacramento High Schools
Saturday afternoon resulted in score
of Is to 7 in favor of the visiting
team.
All through the first half the play
was fast and exciting and the score
was kept even. Just after the begin
ming of the game, and after mo-
ment's quick play, Lorena Mccall
put the ball in the basket on a field
throw, thus giving lone the first two
points. For several minutes the play
was very exciting, as neither side
scored and neither side. fouIed. Then
lone fouled, giving Sacramento a
chance at the goal, which was missed.
Then Loretta Rogers made field goal
from rather a difficult position. Sac
ramento fouled, and Lorena Mccall
made another point for lone. A
moment afterward Loretta Rogers put
the ball in the basket on foul. Just
before time was called Mizpah Jack
son made field goal. This ended
the first half, the score being to 5.
The lone girls pride themselves on
the fact that they do their best work
during the last half. The game Sat
urday was 10 exception. Although
their score kept increasing, they by
no means had an easy time. During
this half Loretta Rogers made field
goal for Sacramento. For lone, dur
ing the second half, Lorena Mccall
made five points, as did Lydia
Winter.
The lone girls had a slight advant-
age as to weight, but it was their ex-
ceIlent team work that won the game
for them. The Sacramento girls are
steadily improving in their playing
and take their defeat cheerfulIy.
Sacramento's guards, Ethel Beal
and Bernice Smith, are both con.
sidered good players. but they had
rather a hard time of it in keeping
track of the girls they were guarding.
The forwards, Mizpah jackson and
Loretta Rogers, played we'll during
the game, but the lone girls are ex-
ceptionally good guards. The centers
for Sacramento, Mildred Lothhammel
and Helen Morse, worked together
we'll, and succeeded in getting the
ball to their forwards often. The
lineup was:
Ione-torwards, Lorena Mccall,
Lydia Winters; guards, Ida Williams,
Mildred Isaacs; centers, Olive Cor.
don, Amy Clark.

A DaStardly Act.

A correspondent at Amador City
sends us the following account of an
outrage perpetrated IN that town.
Zone night last week while Joseph
Penny, president of Amador Miners
Union, was performing his usual
vocation as miner at the Keystone
mine, and of course was absent from
home, his wife was preparing their
youngest child, babe of three years
for bed. She was in the kitchen
sitting near the window, bathing the
child, and 1t, childlike was playing
on the window with its little hands,
when a rock about the size of a
PERSONS two fists came crashing
through the window, hurled by some
one on the outside, just missing both
the baby and mother.
1t is a we'll known fact that a child
who is frightened badly at such a
tender age, is liable to carry the
effects through life. 1t is believed
the person who committed this deed,
took this underhanded way to vent
his personal spite.
Mr. Penny is at home now in the
evenings, and is anxious for the
assailant to pay him another visit

Typhoid Fever.

The appearance of a number of
typhoid fever cases has led to much
speculation as to the cause or causes
which have contributed to this out
break. The cases have been mostly
of mild character. No fatalities
have occurred from the disease; still
its must be confessed its appearance
has given birth to much discussion,
and some apprehension. BY some it
has been credited to impure milk,
by others to germ impregnated water.
70 try to locate the cause samples of
milk and water were sent to the
archaeological department of the
University of California for analysis.
The reports from the experts at that
institution is very unsatisfactory,
and settles nothing. All the fluids
examined we're found to contain i'm
purities, which might develop the
fever germs. Probably, the water

same condition. The truth is, it is
beyond human skill to point definite
.ly to the origin of such outbreaks.
Indeed, the origin of anything battles
human understanding.
For practical purposes the analytical
tests are worthless. We know no
more now than we did before. Specu-
Iation has just as wide field to play
in as heretofore. By far the most
rational theory to account for the
presence of this epidemic is, that the

Unprecedented Official Act.

= Our local cotemporary wakes .jubi-
liant in announcing that three out of
the. four candidates for city trustees
who were nominated by petition with
the present incumbents, have been
hauled off the ballots, at the request
of the candidates themselves. This
action may look very; simple and
something to rejoice over from the
standpoint of some officials, who have
peculiar ideas concerning the scope
-of their authority. Others, however,
will look at it in different and far
more serious light. Where is the
authority for the withdrawal of
candidate. who has been. regularly
nominated and whose certificate of
nomination has been duly fled by
+. the clerk. The clerk may, for sutti:
. cfent cause, refuse to file certificate
of nomination, but when that certif-
cate has been filed, it cannot be
legally Withdrawn. His duty is
pIain-to make up the printed ticket
from the certificates. filed with him,
without any additions thereto, or
deductions therefrom. Neither, the
clerk ner the candidate has any con-
troll over such matters. Any other
view involves an. absurdity. The
candidate and the clerk are not the
only ones concerned. The citizens
who signed the petition are interest
ed. How absurd to contend that a
candidate can petition for place on
the official ballot, and have his certifi-
cate regularly filed, and the day after.
by simple request on his part, have
the same certificate cancelled or
withdrawn. Such trifiing with public
business is not tolerated by any
legal provision. 1t reduces our cleo
tion law in this regard to farce.
The interests of voters are not to be
frittered away IN such otf-hand fash
ion. What would be though of the
secretary of state omitting the name
of a republican or democratic can
didate for governor from the official
ballot, thereby ignoring the records
on file in his office, merely on the
say-so or even written request of the
individual candidate to that end |!
Would such arbitrary, extra official
conduct pass muster at the court of
public opinion, or the test of the
courts. And we may say right here,
that 1t would not be one whit more
high-handed than the action Of the
city clerk in failing to place three
names of candidates for city trustees,
whose certificates were on file in his
Office as regularly as those of any
other candidates, on the official
ballot. 1t seems to us, that in so
doing the deputy has made both him
self and his principal liable for a
deliberate and wiltul departure from
the plain path of duty. This may be
smart politics-in the estimation of
a coterie. The most extraordinary
thing about it is the glorification of
this outcome in the columns of the
paper presumably edited by this very
deputy. The Ledger passes this
matter up to the citizens for their
judgment.

heavy rains have so saturated the
soil, that the surface water has
naturally drained into the wells and
streams, carrying with it much of the
Impurities contained in the ground,
thereby laying the basis for the

something that cannot be altogether
avoided. 1t is proper to use all
reasonable precautions to guard
against such things, but we can
hardly hope to reach the hidden
