CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY .........APRIL 10, 1906
The City Government.

Now that the complexion of the
city government as far as the person
ality of the officials is concerned, has
been determined by the recent cleo
tion tor the next two years at least,
it is hoped that those in authority
will address themselves to the work
of improving the city of jackson as
far as it is possible to do so with the
means at their command. The danger
of small municipalities is that the
wheels of government will be run
into personal ruts, to favor this
one who may be fattering to the ad-
ministrations, or to hamper some one
else for personal reasons. All men
are more or less controlled by per-
sonal feelings. Few men can rise
above their pIeJudices to the extent
of keeping them entirely in the back
ground in the discharge of their
official duties. This is illustrated in
every branch of public affairs. 1t
1hANChOCo AhOh Ill OAOA1 OOAoOOO as
individuals, and such tendencies are
apt to come to the front in govern
mental affairs.
The path of progress lies in dis
couraging this tendency in every
possible way. Small-souled persons
will be found in every community
who will try to foster this spirit,
instead of frown upon it. And
particularly does it devolve upon
those in authority to strive to be
exemplars in this respect.
We believe the people of Jackson
are intelligent enough to appreciate
we'll directed and honest efforts IN
the way of improvement. No property
owner is so blind as not to favor
needed reforms. Differences of opln-
ion may and certainly will arise as to
methods and details, but scarcely any
one will dispute the main question OF
betterments. If the city authorities
will face the situation in broad and
patriotic spirit, there can be NO
doubt that substantial good will be
the outcome.

The Volcano of Vesuvius, after be-
ing mparatively quiescent for three
hundred years, is in eruption, over.
whelming cities and desolating the
county within radius of eight miles.
The loss of life is already computed
at 1000, equaling the number destroy
ed when Pompeii was buried by its
destructive force. Cities almost rival
ing the buried cities have been bIott-
ed out. And the end is not yet.
Even Naples, II miles from the crater,
is in dread of the volcanic power.
How puny all human agencies of
destruction appear in contrast with
the tremedous forces stored up by
nature. Only a few years ago st.
Pierre, popuIous city, was annhilat-
ed by the very breath of Mt. PeIee.
Not soul escaped from that awful
convulsion. And now Vesuvius is
pouring out death and destruction in
POISONOUS gases, lava and ashes suffi-
clent to entomb half dozen cities,
Transforming at a blast a fertile
region into desert. 1t is not to be
supposed that these visitations are
more frequent than in past history.
The fact is, we are now thoroughly
conversant with the earth's surface.
All volcanic outbursts are known;
whereas in early times knowledge OF
geography was SO limited that pro-
badly not half of such visitations
we're known and have been thereby
lost to history.

Chesebrough Cup.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Miss Florence Ives, native of ANA
dor county, won the second tourna
ment for the hesebrough cup yester-
day on the links of the San Francisco
Golf and Country Club. Play started
the previous day with four players in
the competition. In the opening

winners medal score was 101, and Mrs

The Ledger hopes that the republi-
cans of Amador county will meet the
present crisis in state politics judici-
ously, and for the best interests of
the state at large. Selfish consider
ations should be cast aside as much
as possible. The success of the party
locally depends largely upon the
manner in which the issues now be-
fore republicans is faced. Autocratic
methods should be discouraged as
inimical to the party's welfare.
fractional squabbles will not help us
to victory. We can and ought to
fight to the last ditch when vital
principles are at stake. In all other
matters, the path of wisdom lies IL
keeping the rank and file united, by
sinking as much as possible all per
sonal matters. United we may win
divided we shall lose To secure ;
united front in the approaching
campaign is of infinitely more i'm
portance than the personal candidac.
of this or that one for any stat
office, from the governor down.

Jack Chesbro is busy. While he held
his tongue and brooded alone, the man
who perfected what he often terms his
damp fling" was the most disappointed
man in New York last summer.
Coming out of season which had
placed his name ON the pinnacle of base
ball fame and expecting to reap wonders
for his team mates, he entered the most
disastrous period of his career. From
bad he went to worse and at the end of
the season he was ready to give up in
disgust He could not regain that rather
uncertain state called good shape"
Chesbro is now himself again. Deter
mined to come back into form, he is the
first man on the diamond two times a
day and one of the last to take the plunge
which winds up a day of work for the
Highlanders.
After going through the regulation dia-
mond practice yesterday morning, he
jumped out like a thoroughbred and jog

without a stop. AL Orth started after
him and was quickly followed by others

Secret of krugers Gold.

From the London Globe
That Spanish speciality the buried treas
ure swindle, being played out, curious
variant upon it has been invented, with
the late Mr.. Krugers treasure as its
basis.
A good many Dutch inhabitants of the
Transvaal have received letters Offering
to reveal to them, upon money payment
and under pledge of secrecy, the spot
where Mr. Kruger has buried the huge
sums which he took with him when he fed
from the Transvaal to Europe. This spot
was, of course, in Spain, and seems to
come as near as anything can to the in
verified realization of those castles in the
air which the French term 'chateaux en-
Espagne."
For q long time the Spanish police were
unable to lay hands upon the devisers of
this swindle, but three days ago there
was arrested in Albaceta a man who
called at the postoffice for registered
letters from Pretoria and Capetown.
Documents have been seized which lead
the police to think they have secured
the leader of the gang.

WORDSWORTH REACHESClTY

The Coal Barons and the Highlanders
viii open the baseball season in Birming-
ham this afternoon with an exhibition
game at the ball park The contest is
timed to start a O'clock and there is
every reason that fine weather will pre-
vail and that the fans will have every
opportunity to watch and criticise the
work of the new men on the home team,
while at the same time they can get an
idea of how the fellows of a higher class
handle themselves on the diamond.
That carelessness is catching was
demonstrated yesterday, when one sport
ing editor announced that Newton and
LaPorte would pitch for the Highlanders,
and the other sporting editors followed
suit The names should have been New
ton and Leroy. the Indian. Nobody ap-
peared to know there was any error ex-
cept ball players themselves, and when
the matter was explained to them they
commented somewhat caustically upon
the peculiar shapes sometimes taken by
occurrences.
GLADYS" Wordsworth arrived in town
last night, and had hardly arrived before
he was engaged in a busy tanning bee
with several wild-eyed fiends He has not
handled ball since last season closed,
and owing to the fact that he has lost
much sleep recently because of the serious
Illness Of Mrs. Wordsworth he may not
take part in the game this afternoon.
Manager Vaughan will use Pitchers
Jones, Billiard and Utter in the game
this afternoon, and the new fellows will
be seen for the first time by local fans.
The work of Jones particularly will be
watched by the fans, because of the
fact that he created some little sensa-
ton last season in the northern part of
the state by defeating all sorts of crack
semi-professional teams
Hayes will cover second sack in the
game this afternoon, and his work also
will be watched by the fans Hayes is
said to be in pretty good shape now, and
it is expected he will get right into the
game from the start.
Manager Vaughan may borrow an out
fielder or two from the Highlanders ow-
ing to the fact that some of his men are
not here yet. This will serve to make the
teams more evenly matched, and will add
to the interest of the game, while at the
same time allowing more of the New
Workers to take part in the game.
The Barons who are not yet here are
expected to arrive today and tomorrow
excepting Oyler. who is hardly in a posi-
tion to reach Birmingham until later in
the week. BY Monday night it is believed
all the members of the club but Oyler
will be hard at work daily here.
1t is the intention of the Birmingham
and New York management to play only
two games next week, Wednesday and
Saturday. 1t is not desired that the men
be made to work too hard so early in the
season The following week there will be
three games Monday, Wednesday and
Saturday, and thereafter the fans will
see three games weekly until the season
, opens. and some weeks there will be more
than three games played.

HEARD OF RESULT OF TAMPA
MATCH.

The wrestling match to take place Mon
day night at the Birmingham Athletic
club between Charley Hackenschmidt and
Tom Griffin is attracting greater atten-
ton than any athletic bout in this city
for some time.
Hackenschmidt is hard at work, using
the morning hours for exercise in the
athletic club gymnasium and the after
noon and evening running to and over
Red mountain and return. He is hard
and strong as a bull now, and says he
is ready to go on the mat at once.
Nothing was heard last night from
Tampa, relative to the result of the wrest-

sor Dwyer, which was arranged to be
pulled off at the Casino there. 1t has
been Grifin's intention to start for Bir-
mingham as soon as the match was over
with, and in all probability he will reach
here tomorrow morning.
