Wives Want to Have Say.

Two women were talking over their
tea in a woman's club.
"This balloon fad is all right" said
the first. 81 see that George Bernard
Shaw. Pinero, the Goulds, Harry Lehr
and all sorts of celebrities make oc-
casional ascensions. But at the same
time"
She made gesture of reputation
and horror
"At the same time" said the other
woman. "it's a risky business, Ell?
We'll. that is the truth. My husband
went up in a balloon last week and l
haven't spoke to him since. What
right had he to risk his life like that?
He has nothing saved and we live at

hanpened to him, what would then be-

A friend of mine named Roberts
moved into the extreme western part
OF Kansas, in region where cyclones
are frequent. His nearest neighbor
was 20 miles away and his family was
composed of his wife and a little
three-year-old daughter.
When the baby was born he
bought bull puppy, which grew up
with her and as the child had no play
mates it made her both reliable
watchdog and very playful and faith
full companion. Sport" as they called
the dog, was very gentle and peaceful,
and perfectly kind to everyone, espe-
cially the baby, whom he adored.
I'm the summer of the year that my
obliged, one hot July day, to leave
home for trip to the nearest town.
The heat for some days had been most
oppressive and this day the atmos-
phere was like a brazen furnace. Rob-
erts had dug a cyclone cellar near the
house and told his wife to run to 1t
at once if a storm arose. He cautioned
her to keep the baby near the house,
where she was playing with the dog
LAS Mrs Roberts went about her
work in the morning she noticed that
the baby had run away with the dog,
and on going out of the door she
found the animal Juggling hard at her
skirt. The little one was crying and
protesting, but the dog was steadily
dragging her toward a dry creek bed
across the field, where he was fond
of scratching.
Mrs. Roberts told the dog to let go
of the baby, but he paid no attention

a manner that she could not move.
In an instant the bull leaped over
a row of seats and plunged at the lit
tie group of frightened humanity.
Miss Doern seized chair and flung 1t
with all her might at the animal. 1t
checked his onslaught and doubtless
saved several lives, for the bull ran
t1lump into a wall and fell backwards
on his launches daZed.
This gave the plucky teacher time
to shove the children out of the open
door while she herself slammed the
door shut, imprsoning the ugly beast.

A movement is on foot to change the
method of distributing the common

proposed change is to benefit the white

of the surplus funds being piled up in
county treasures. the surplus resulting
from the fact that negro children do
not attend school, yet the county gets
it's pro rata allowance based on the

Memorial.

A correspondent from -Oleta sends
US the following:
Once more the grim messenger OF
death has visited our little village
and removed from among US, one
who for many years has been an active
respected citizen, g. Wilds. He was
born in Missouri, Dec. 1, 1857, and
moved to this state with his parents
in 1864, and grew to manhood among
US.
In 1888 he married Miss Sadie Kelly
of New York, and to them we're born
seven children, six boys and one girl.
The eldest son Edward at the age OF
IS years met with a fatal accident
nearly four years ago, and from this
bereavement the family has not yet
recovered. The second son passed
away during his infancy.
Mr. Wilds was one of onr best and
most respected citizens, kind and
loving father, and a most devoted
husband, and will be sadly missed by
his family, friends and neighboIs.
He leaves to mourn his passing away
loving wife, one little daughter,
four sons, the youngest only seven
months old, and one brother, Jeffer-
son WiIds.

Died from His Injuries.

On last Wednesday afternoon of last
week Henry N. Dickerman, who was
employed as timber man at the Ere
mont mine, while making preparations
to get on the skip and ascend the
shaft, lost his footing, and realizing
his danger caught the cable which
was within his reach, and was hoisted
up the shaft something like one hun
dred feet. He kept out of reach of
the skip, but his body struck against
the walls of the shaft. Being familiar
with the shaft he knew a place where
he could let go his hold on the cable
and drop between the siIls and escape
being rnn over by the skip. He did
as his judgment prompted, and was
then obliged to climb down a ladder
to the station below before he could
report his condition. He proceeded
to do this but his strength failed, and
he lay on a timber and waited for
some one to come to his relief. The
engineer, who is a very competent
man of long experience, knew by the
signal given him that there was some
thing wrong when the skip came up
empty, Immediately reported the fact,
and party was sent in search. He
was found and taken to the surface,
where two physicians we're SUNNI oned,
who found several broken ribs and
internal injuries so serious as to be
beyond all medical aid. All that low
ing hands could do was tenderly
administered, and he bore his suffer
ing with patient, cheerful spirit,
never losing consciousness until
Thursday evening, May 31st, when he
died.
Deceased was born near Drytown,
April 15, 1861, and was the eldest
child of Grace and Henry Dickerman,
near whum he has always lived, and
has been comfort to them in their
declining years. He was married
September "a. 1887, to Margaret
Mooney. His remains we're laid to
rest in Sutter Greek cemetery June 2.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife,
four children, father, mother, three
sister and five brothers, all OF whom
were present to pay their last respects
to all that was mortal of a loving
husband, kind father, dutiful son
and an atfectionate brother.

Araia Family Heard From.

After the lapse of nearly two months
since the great disaster, it is now
definitely stated that Mrs Virginia
Araia and her family, are safe. She
left jackson with her children last
July. Notwithstanding persistent in
quiries after the earthquake and fire
as to their whereabouts nothing was
heard from them. Mrs BoXalI former
ly neighbor of Mrs Araia's in South
jackson, eXerted herself to find what
had become of them And her eft orts
in this direction have led to the
clearing up OF the mystery. The
family consisted of seven persons
including two grandchildren. 1t was
thought strange that so large family
should be blotted ont, without any
knowledge of their fate reaching
their friends. This week we received
a note from Mrs BoxaIl, dated at
Oakland, June Sd, stating that Mrs
Araia lost everything in the fire, that
she is safe in Seattle, Washington,
her youngest and Oldest daughters,
and two grandchildren, are with her.
A married daughter, Mrs John Ii.
Nichols, nee Miss Sudie Chavoyo, is
living in Humboldt county, Cal,
with her husband. Many friends il
Amador county, especially around
jackson will be pleased to hear OF
their safety.
