Board of Supervisors.

The board of supervisors met in
special session on Saturday, June 16,
all the members being present The
special business that called them to-
gether was the appointment of
justice of the peace, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Ii. Goldner.
Two petitions for appointment we're
presented to the board, each signed
by over thirty representatives citi-
zens. One requesting the appoint
ment of K. W. Ketchum, and the
other in favor of Alfred Goldner, son
of the deceased Justice. In accord
ance with precedent of long stand
ing, the matter of the appointment
was left in the hands OF supervisor
StIohm, the other members being
satisfied to stand by his selection.
On motion of John Strohm, seconded
by l.. Burke, Alfred Goldner was
appointed by the unanimous vote of
the board.
W. b. Downs was appointed as
experimenting engineer of the con-
struction of the bridge across Sutter
creek in the town of Sutter Creek,
without compensation.

ITALIAN PICNIC.
A Big Turnout at Fullen'S Grove
in Commemoration of Italian Inde-
pendenCe.

The annual picnic of the Italian
Benevolent Society, which was first
announced to take place on the Sd
Instant, but on account of the un-
favorable weather that day, was post
poned for two weeks, or until the
17th-came off last Sunday, according
to revised schedule. The day proved
an ideal one for such an event. The
rain of few days before had laid the
dust, and the sun came out bright
and strong on the day selected
exactly the thing for business as we'll
as pleasure. The picinc was we'll
attended. Perhaps the crowd was
not as large as on some former oc-
casions; but withal from every stand
point it was very satisfactory.
The society marched out to the
grounds from Sutter Creek about
O'Clock, accompanied by the Amador
City band, which furnished music
for the entire day. The literary
exercises we're held on the large plat
form. G. 2. Vicini was orator of the
day in the English language, and P.
Peccario delivered the oration in
Italian.
In the afternoon the amusements
furnished consisted of dancing on the
large platform, 100 7S feet-which
was kept going from the quitting OF
the literary exercises until 2 O'Clock
in the morning. In addition to this
pastime there was a base ball game
for prize of S75 between a picked
nine from jackson and team from
Lockford, San Joaquin county. Jack.
sou proved victorious with the follow.

Electric Plant DiSmantIed.

The electric plant built some ten or
twelve years ago by B. b. Letang, to
supply light and power i'll jackson is
being dismantled and torn down.
The power house was located on
Jackson creek about a mile below
town. with pole line running to the
Jackson brewery. 1t was intended to
run by water power from the natural
flow in the creek, under a pressure of
fifty feet. 1t was inadequate to
supply the requisite power for the ice
plant, and has been in disuse for a
number of years. Trespassers and
mlschievous boys have interfered
with and damaged the machinery.
Some person fired a shot into some of
the delicate mechanism. The owner
therefore concluded to take it all
down. Geo. Barker took the machin-
cry down last week, and this week
the wire was removed from the poles.
The poles are left, not being worth
taking down.

List of Grammar School Graduates

The examination of applicants for
graduation of grammar school pupils
was completed last week. Examina-
tions were held in each township in
the county, and almost every school
district had one or more candidates
81 examined. jackson came to the
front with class of 20, one-fourth
of the total in the county. The most
noteworthy fact is that every one
passed the examination, the average
percentage of credits being 90, out of
possible 100. In some districts over
so per cent of the applicants failed.
The pupils receiving the highest
number of credits in the county was
Blanche Nichols of Middle Fork dis

Poor Fishing.

A number of patrons of angling
have repaired to Tabeau reservoir,
armed with permits from the Stand
ard Electric Company, to fish tor
black bass in that sheet of water.
They all expected fine sport with
these gamey denizens of this artificial
lake. All we're doomed to disappoint-
ment. For some reason not thor
oughly understood, the fish refused
to bite. Either the lake is not we'll
stocked, or the fish are too small, or
some other cause. At any rate the
total catch up to the early part of
this week, was one lonely ashland
that very small one. The fishing
ground for jackson and vicinity is a
long way from being developed. 1t is
said that it takes many years to stock
body of water the size OF this
reservoir with black bass. Perhaps
the cleaning out of the reservoir some
months ago had a good deal to do
with the lack of sport in the fishing
line at this time.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases cut of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Barn Burned.

Saturday evening, June 16, the
barn of V. S. Garbarini, located at
South jackson, was totally destroyed
by fire, with all its contents. The
fire started shortly before six O'Clock.
How it started is not sbrouded in the
least mystery. Some of the neighbors
children had been IN the habit of
playing around the barn, and at the
time referred, resorted to playing
with matches in close proximity to
the hay stored in the barn. In this
way the fire got a start, and was
beyond control as soon as 1T was dis
covered. The dwelling of j. Gar
barini just across the road from
the barn was in danger at one time,
but by dint of hard work, was saved.
Hay to the amount of II tons was
stored in the barn, also new buggy,
valued at $3.50. Everything was des
troyed. A horse belonging to M.
PIasse was also in the barn. A neigh
bor at the critical moment united
the animal, and led him out to safety.
The loss is estimated at $500; with
not dollar of insurance. The barn
was very old one. 1t was built
over 80 thirty years ago, and in early
times was used by j. Belluomini on
his trips with freight teams between
jackson and Sacramento.

from friend in Sacramento. Last
week the worms we're busy weaving
their fine thread, at the home of Mrs
Garbarini on Water street, who has
taken up the experiment as pleasant
pastime and not as a business pro-
position. The worms thrive we'll in
this locality. The high price of
labor is against the industry becomes

For a High School Course

A interesting feature in connection
with the examination of applicants
for graduation from the grammar
grade, held last week, was a question
inserted in the papers, to ascertain
the feeling of the pupils in regard to
attending high school. The ques-
tlon was put in this way: els it your
present intention to attend a high
school?" The scholars we're scattered
through all the school districts in
the county and with the majority
high school course meant absence
from home for more or less pro
tracted period. Out of 81 pupils ex
amined, 70 answered IN the affirma
tive. This all one-sided resolve
sufhciently attests the deep-seated
desire on the part of graduates from
the common schools to attain a
higher standard of education than
that afforded by grammar grade. 1t
is safe to say that not one-third of
those who thus answered will pass
through the higher school course.
And probably not so per cent of
those who attain their wishes in
this direction would be correspond
ingly benefited by such tuition. All
the same, the expression of the disire
itself is significant. The idea has
taken root in the youthful mind, that
the high school is essential in round
ing out their education, and they are
In favor of getting all the benefits
going. Assuming that one-fourth of
the graduates will attend high school,
that implies that the majority will
seek such training beyond the limits
OF the county, because of the lack of
opportunity to attend such a school
along the populous center-the
mineral belt. And with On average of
II OF such pupils per year, it Is worth
while considering whether we have
not reached that point where it is
incumbent in justice to the popular
demand of the rising generation to
establish a county high school at
some central point where majority
at least of these seekers after know
ledge could be accommodated within
reasonable distance from their own
homes.

In the evening the crowd that at
tended the dance was lmmense-far
exceeding any previous year. The
platform had been enlarged, so that
several hundred could be accommod-

the proceedings were brought to a
abrupt standstill by the failure of
the electric lights. 1t was thought
for time that this mishap would
terminate the affair. But the dancers
were not to be dispersed for such a
trifie. An electrician, Jones from
Sutter Greek, was hunted up, and
after half an hours pause, succeeded
in getting lights on the subject

De mocratic Committee Meets.

The democratic county central com
mittee held regular meeting in Jack
son last Saturday, at which there was
a very good attendance every town
ship being we'll represented. PoIiti-
cal matters were discussed by that
august body. It is reported around
that the members approved of the
"slate'' fixed up by a previous in
formal gathering.
No decisive action was taken, other
than to issue call for another meet
ing cf the committee for next Satur-
day. at which it is expected the date
of the county convention will be
liked, and also the primaries to elect
delegates thereto. Our democratic
friends are somewhat at sea. They
want to reach a definite point, and
are not averse to taking a round
about course to attain the object.
Above all things they want to hold
on to the offices-all they now have,
and more if possible. The sailing
promises to be not of the smoothest
kind; and unless all indications fail,
the voters are apt to knock the schem
ing ones badly when the voice of the
ballot box is heard.

Badly" Vest Released.

Badly" (WilD Vest, who has been
in the county Jail since January 20,
awaiting trial on the charge of having
stabbed Vainor McGinnis with intent
to kill, was released yesterday by
Judge Adams. j. s. Gillian, Vests
attorney, demanded that he be given
a hearing. Judge Adams, after ques-
tioning Badly" rather closely as to
his past career and giving him n little
good advice as to his future conduct,
released him on his own recognizance,
to appear at the September term of
the district court. McGinnis, the pros
ecuting witness in the case, left town
shortly before the first session of the
present term of court and this was
taken as an indication that he did not
want to prosecute Vest.
