Stand Well With Ourselves.

1t was school teacher who asked
class of boys: tWhy should we be
honest"
And there were as many answers
from bright faced lads as there were
boys.
Because it pays" said one.
because We will be sent to prison
if we are not" said a second.
Because it makes US sleep
better, volunteered a third, while the
fourth was certain that it was" be-
cause We want to stand we'll in the
eyes Of the world
And one lad with fine face, said:
ITO stand we'll with ourselves, sir. :"
And that last is a fine answer, for
it gets US close to the mainspring in
every breast that is the very fountain
head of good.
Before we talk about that more,
lets take little trip. We can travel
fast in these days of airships and
limiteds, and so the boys of Califor-
MIA and he boys Of Wisconsin and
Louisiana can easily join in pilgrim
age to stable located in Cincinnati,
O. Yes, sir, d trip to a stable, and
that just to shake hands with a fine
old man who is sponging off a wagon
and who is not too busy to give US a
hearty handshake.
So here we are introduced to Henry
Weidner, as old as your grandfather,
for he is 65, and only a few years ago
he was president of a great bank.
The cashier, Mr.. Brown, robbed it of
quarter of million and ran away to
South America, and behind, to bear
the burden, was left this old man.
The blow almost killed Henry Weld
mel. 1t would almost kill a much
younger man. But he stood up under
it. He took every dollar in money or
property that he had in the world, anc
every penny his wife had, and turned
it over to the depositors, and then,
stripped, and only few years from
the grave, started out to earn an hon
est living at any calling that was
honorable.
The world all but forgot the old
man until he was found the other day
working in the stable.
cit is different from sitting IN an
office and clipping coupons, he said
as he rubbed a dashboard till it shone.
ct will all come out right some day.
| wanted to die an honest man and SO
l went to work. I'm working hard
for promotion and I'll get it soon.
'To stand we'll with himself -
We are through with our visit and
back TO our text, boys.
What lot of good is born of the
thing that is in the human breast. 1t
is the starting point. If we are hon.
est it almost always to satisfy the
God in US. Some folks do not call it
God. They do not know what to call
it. They only know that in each
breast something vibrates and makes
tenderness, and tears, and smiles, and
desire to be clean and upright. 1t
is there when the first and the heart
beats and it lives till the final stroke,
and always is for good You can call
1t conscience, or early training, or
what you will, but it is really the
divine part of mankind.
So, let's remember our visit to
Henry Weidner, and in all we do and
all we say, and SO far as is possible
in all we think, be governed by the
something in our breasts that makes
US want to stand we'll with our
selves '-Milwaukee Journal.

Off for Europe.

Jos. Bernecich and j. Casanti have
worked the Amador Queen No. 9, in
Murphy's gulch on lease from the
owners, fol- the past two years. 1t is
pocket mine, or at least the discov-
cry of the rich pockets for which the
mine has been noted, was the object
kept in view by the workers. That
they we're not disappointed IN their
search Is proven by the fact that the
two men left for their native land,
Austria, this week, taking with them
the result of their mining, which it
is said, amounts to several thousands
of dollars. Estimates of their saw
ings vary considerably, from $500 to
$4,000 each. Bernecich has been in
this county % years. His partner,
Casantl, has been around here for a
much longer period. Their savings
will be looked upon as a snug little
fortune in the land of their birth. 1t
is reported that they expect to remain
IN the old country, but in the face OF
this, their neighbors and friends look
for them back here after the novelty
of their vacation has worn off.

Operated Upon.

Manuel Gonzales, the miner whose
back was broken by falling in one of
the ore chutes at the Kennedy mine,
a month ago, was operated upon by
DIR. Gall and Endicott, early this
week at the county hopsital. The
spinal column was fractured below
the shoulders, and from the point
injured downward the man has been
paralyzed ever since. The operation
was resorted to in the hope of giving
some reliet. An incision was made
near the wound, and a number of
pieces of broken bone were taken
out. 1t is doubtful if the victim ever
RECEIVERS the use of his limbs, but the
operation will serve to prolong his
life at least.
The patient died Wednesday after
noon. Had he survived, and his case
taken the most favorable turn poss-
lble under the circumstances. he
would have been helpless through life

Pioneer Gathering.

On Sunday, Sept. 8, Charley Peters,
tine oldest pioneer of this section,
being 81 years, and resident since
the days of '49, held a reunion of old
timers at his home on the Good Hope
mine grounds. All pioneers we're
welcome to attend. and many SONS of
the early settlers were also expected.
1t has been a custom with this veneer
able 49er to have gathering of this
kind on Admission day, and this year
the custom was to be observed with
more than usual ceremony. Charley,
who Notwithstanding the flight of
years, is about the liveliest specimen
of humanity anyway near his age in
these parts, went to work and with
his own hands, prepared the royal
feast. lie lives alone, and the bill of
fare consisted of bacon and beans,
and other delicacies of ancient times.
To cook the beans he used an iron
vessel handed down from early times
This he treasures as an heirloom of
great value, and trots it out for
service only on important occasions.
He made preparations for 10 persons.
There we're one-thiId of that number
present, and. they had glorious time,
"reminiscences of the "days of gold"
were retold with all the vim and fire
of youth. Of course there was
large quantity of provisions left over,
these Charley took around to pioneer
families the following day. By the
way Peters ran a foot race at the
labor day celebration against two
other pioneers, James Meehan and
Charley Meek. There we're two heats.
Meek won the first event, as it is
claimed by scratch, Meehan, who
was ahead, making almost dead stop
before reaching the winning line,
thereby enabling Meek to pass him.
1t was run over again, and the second
time pioneer Meehan was declared
the winner. Peters says that he was
ahead, but Stacked up as he ap-
preached the winning line, and Nee
han was able to grab the string of
victory ahead of him. Peters thinks
he is entitled to the credit of being
the most sprighty pioneer of the
bunch. While he is 81, Meehan is y,
and Meek is 10 years.

Burglars at Work

The premises of l.. Perlanda saloon
we're burglarized some time between
II midnight and o'clock Monday
morning. Night Waterman F. W.
Parker in making his rounds, noticed
about 2 o'clock that the barber shop,
next to the saloon, being in fact a
room paItioned off from the saloon
proper, was open. A little investIga-
tion sutficed to convince him that
the premises had been burglarized.
He at once went to the room of l..
Perlanda, and notified him of the
discovery. A critical examination
of the place showed that the front
door of the barber shop had been
forced open by prying off the pad,
lock. The marks of chisel or other
instrument were plainly visible on
the woodwork. When this was done
access to the saloon was easy through
screen door in the rear. Entering
the saloon, the back of one of the
nickel in the slot machines had been
broken Oft. 1t was large 25c mach
inc. Its contents of money we're
taken. How much the burglar got is
uncertain, but it is estimated that the
booty was between $40 and SIS. Some
one familiar with the place is suppos-
ed to have done the work, although
there is no clew whatever to the
perpetrator.

FATAL FIRE AT VOLCANO.
T. j. Quinn Consumed in His Dwell.
ing.

Volcano was the scene of a shock
ing catastrophe last night about 1C
O'Clock. There was a ball in the
town that evening, given by the
Rebekah lodge, and the dance drew
a large number of pleasure seekers
from the surrounding country. In
the midst of the festivities the alarm
OF fire was raised, and a rush was
made toward the spot where the
flames had already obtained strong
foothold. 1t proved to De the dwell
ing house in the heart OF the town,
owned by Mrs About, and occupied
by Thomas j. Quinn, the village
blacksmith. Little could be done to
save anything in the house, and the
efforts of the fire fighters, aided by a
good supply OF water under pressure
were directed towards combining the
fire to the one building where it
originated. This they succeeded in
doing. After the first excitement
was over, and the fire was subdued,
inquiries we're made as to the where
abouts of Quinn. He was nowhere to
be found. 1t was known that he had
been on drunken spree, and that
his family, consisting of a wife and
two children, had gone temporarily
to the home of relatives in another
part of the town. About - O'Clock
when a search of the blackened ruins
was possible, the charred body of
Quinn was found among the debris.
How the fire started is a matter of
conjecture only. 1t is supposed that
lamp was overturned. He was As
years, and the proprietor of the old
blacksmith and wagon-making shop
of the town. He was a first-class
workman, and his only failing was
his appetite for drink, which at in
tervals was too much for him to
resist, and which resulted in his
tragic death.

MINING NOTES.

At the mines of the Fremont Con
solidated Mining Company, near Dry
town, connection was recently made
between the Fremont and Cover
shafts on the 1900 #. level, thus
giving natural ventilation througout
the mine. The new blacksmith shop
at the shaft No. g., has been COM
pleted and new sulphuret house is
now being erected. The company has
under consideration the question of
installing chlorination plant of Is
tons daily capacity. Forty stamps
are operated continuously.
Valparaiso-At this mine last week
they ran across one of those rich ore
streaks, which are characteristic OF
the mines of that locality The
claim adjoins the famous Mammoth
mine, near Middle Bar. 1t is being
operated by the five owners, Messrs
Il. Garibaldi, S. Quilici, M. Barsi,
d. Boro and another They put down
H0" onohbs anu ran lHIO the r1C1
seam at the depth of 40 feet. How
much of the rock was taken out we
are not informed, but it-was consider
able. Some idea of its richness may
be gathered when we state that
samples sent for assay showed value
of over $4,000 per ton. This same
streak has been encountered at
lower depth. 1t is pleasing to be
able to state this encouraging out
look. and the owners, who ale all
working men, are quite jubilant over
the prospects.
Bunker Hill-This mine is moving
along smoothly and satisfactorily. A
large surplus has accumulated in
the treasury amounting to something
over $40, 900. Rumor Is current that
the era of dividends is near. No
dividend has been declared so far.
Ihe surface impI ovements to mill
and hoist have been postponed until
next year, and this has led to the
belief that the shareholders are to
have a surprise in the shape of
dividend ere long. 1t is the opinion
that such action will be taken only
when the prospect justifies the belief
that they can be continued monthly
thereafter.

WriggleSWOrth-HalI Wedding.

A very pretty wedding took place at
an early hour Sunday morning, at St.
Augustine's Episcopal church, when
Miss Mary Hall became the bride of
George Wrigglesworth, Rev. VIM.
Tuson officiating. The bride looked
very charming attlred in wedding
dress of white silk wolfe, made over
white silk. The family and intimate
friends left the bride s home on Stump
street, and were driven to the
church, which they entered to the
beautiful strains of wedding march,
played by Mrs H. +. Kay. Miss
Leona Kinney, of Lodi, a cousin If
the BRIDES, rendered a beautiful
solo, entitled, because. The
decorations of both home and church
were of red and white. Miss Cora
Wrigglesworth, a sister of the groom,
was bridesmaid, and Mr. Walsh at
tended the groom.
Immediately after the ceremony
they were driven to MarteII station,
where they took the train for Sacra-
mento and Point Richmond. The
presents were many and beautiful.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs David Hall of Jackson, and
a beautiful and accomplished girl,
one of the most attractive of this
city's tair daughters. The groom
is a son of Mr. and Mrs George
Wrigglesworth, his father being one
of the engineers of the leila mine.
Upon their return the newly married
couple will make their home in this
city.

Republican Primaries.

| Irludry eIectlonS on the republican
side of the house were held according
to call on Saturday evening last.
They elected more interest in several
precincts than has been known in
republican circles for many years. In
several towns there we're two tickets
in the field, in the interest of the two
candidates for sheriff. This was the
case in lone and Suffer Creek. In
lone the anti-saloon wing took hand.
and succeeded IN electing the anti
Norman, or Proctor ticket. This was
done, so it Is said, because of the non.
enforcement of the Preston school law.
In Sutter Creek, bigcontest was wag-
ed'in South Suffer precinct particular
ly. The Proctor ticket went through as
was expected. In Plymouth there was
also a bitter contest. Here, however,
the issue was not so much between the
rival candidates for sheriff, as between
the tussle for township officers-con-
stable and supervisor.
In jackson all was quiet. There
was no contest whatever, and every
thing went off harmoniously. The
list of delegates selected at the
causus went through without hitch.
1t was in measure a compromise
between the rival forces, and accept
ed without a murmur.
The outcome of the primaries
leaves the main fight for the sheriff's
Office as much in doubt as before.
Each candidate is claiming to have
the inside track, and it seems the
matter can only be settled by an
actual test of strength in the conven-
ton. The delegates elected as far as
heard from are as follows:

The Bank Proposition.

The Bank of Amador county, will
in all likelihood change hands in "a
short time. There was some talk of
starting new bank. Negotiations
we're opened with a view to the pur-
chase of the present bank. These
have been progressing satisfactorily,
and it is now confidently believed
that the arrangement will be made
satisfactorily. If so, the present
incorporation will be reorganized,
and the capital stock increased from
$50, 000-the present capitalization
to 800, 1000; thereby making the
strongest financial institution that
has ever operated in this county.
The proposition is still under way,
and nothing further will be known
in the matter for week or two yet.
