sold the same rails to American rail-
roads. He said the roads were tamil
lar with the state of affairs and we're
willing to see the export market lower
for the sake of bringing business to
this country. He said the same thing
was true of many of the other sup
plies purchased. For instance, loco
motives were bought for less than the
same companies sold them for in the
states. The American railroads knew
this too, but they were willing to
stand 1t.

contradiction that the terrific explo-
sion which wrecked the front part of
flats at 1l00-1104 Washington Street,
IN San Francisco on November II,
1904, and came near causing the
frightful death of Frederick W.
Bradley, was not caused by any
sudden ignitlng of escaped gas, as
has ever been the accepted explana-
tion of the mystery, but was the
work of murderous homb placed at
the door of the mine owner and
former superintendent by representa-
tives of the elmer circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners.
Murderer Harry Orchard, the slayer
of former governor Frank Steunen
berg, of Idaho, on December 30, 1905,
by placing a bomb at his gate, has
confessed to the authorities of Boise
that the so-called explosion of gas at
the home of Bradley was an attempt
on his life.

A Patient Scot.

Alexander Innes Shand in his "A
Medley Of Memories" writes of an old
Scotchman whom he knew On his boy
hood. "He used to drive cattle in a
flowing, dowered dressing gown, which
had been passed on to him, and he only
shaved his gray beard at long inter-
vals. One of my earliest recollections
is seeing him biting off the tails of a
hitter of terrier puppies in the court
yard. He was philosopher in his own
way, and with the free run of the serv-
ants hall and buffers pantry he took
life easily.
HE never complained. Once when
the landlord paid a morning visit that
parsonage splashed from the drainage
outside the door into puddle within,
where some ducklings were disporting
themselves, and the wet was dripping
over him from the blackened rafters.
"'Why, john was the exclamation,
you are in terrible state here! We
must have your roof overhauled.' Aye,
it's lettin' in some water was the re-
ply, but it's gey thick, and they are
but little drops, and 1 do weel eneuch

NeVillS Has Faith
In the Deep Mines.

When Captain Nevills took hold of
the Rawhide mine a dozen years ago
he was laughed at by mining men in
San Francisco, who declared it i'm
possible to handle the vast quantity
of water that had accumulated in the
shaft. However, he did handle it and
his success inspired others to efforts
in mining in Tuolumne county. Now
the captain is getting ready to sink
a three compartment shaft 2000 feet
deep at the north end of the Rawhide
property. At this depth drifts Will
be run and rich ore bodies uncovered
-licher than those encountered
above. lie will demonstrate that what
is true in Amador county, where
several mines are opened up below
1000 feet, is equally true here the
ore values are greater below this
depth than above it. Again, other
mine managements will emulate his
example and all of our leading mines
will be worked below a depth of 200O
feet. Magnet.

DELIBERATE ACT OF SUICIDE.
Judge GottSChalk Ends Life Friday.

This community was startled and
shocked shortly. before eleven o'clock
this, Friday, morning when the news
was flashed along that Judge Colts
chalk had committed suicide in his
office. The news became known just
as we we're going to press, and conse-
quently we have time for only brief
account of the tragedy. leaving a
more extended notice till next week.
Judge Gottschalk had an office in
the Whltlock building, and little
before IL O'Clock John Hancock,
whose office Is on the same floor, had
occasion to go to the judges Office on
some business. Entering the room he
was startled to see the Judge sitting
al his desk, covered with blood, and
apparently dead. He at once called
Will Dover and brief examination
showed that the aged lawyer was dead,
and that by his own hand. The pistol
with which the act was done lay on
the floor beside his chair, and the
wounds showed that he had deliber-
ately placed the muzzle to his right
ear and pulled the trigger, the bullet
coming out of the top OF his head
on the left side. Death had evidently
been without struggle, as the body
was sitting erect in the chair, as
though still endowed with life. He
had evidently been dead about an
hour, as some time between nine and
ten o'clock, j. F. Treat heard a
pistol shot, but paid little attention
to 1t at the time. Judge GottschaIk
had evidently carefully planned his
own death and carried it out with
perfect deliberation. He had been
quite respondent for some time as
was known to his intimate friends,
over his failing eyesight. This morn
ing he went over to the clerks office
and filed deed conveying all his
property to his wife. 1t was remarked
that he bid good bye to those in the
office as he left. On his desk he left
a sealed packet addressed to her. He
also left an open note saying that there
was no need of an inquest as it was
his own act. Judge Gottschalk was
native of Louisiana, aged 70 years,
and was one of the pioneers of the
state and county. The funeral will
take place in San Andreas, Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. -Calaveras

Etiquette of Cannibalism.

even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul Pucci, a young
Italian traveller "Some while ago,
when exploring in that country, 1 learn
ed a good bit about the ways of the
various tribes. In a majority of them
cannibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be gross violation Of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon men,
bers of the same tribe This delicacy
Of sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where l
noted the absence of any old persons,
1 learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the To-
cal food supply. This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy, for
at the first signs Of decrepitude the
boiling pot was called into requisi-
ton" Post.

Two of His Habits.

1.-TWO things the average man does at
every opportunity from mere force Of
habit" said the observing woman.
"One is to set his watch every time he
passes a standard timCpiece, and the
othcr-it isn't very delicate, but it's a
fact-to eXpectoratc every time he
passes a public cuspldor You watch a
man inadvertently pass timepiece.
He always catches himself in time,
goes back, compares his watch, and
ten minutes later you'll see him absent
ly doing the same thing farther down
the street To prove the other fact you
need only stand five minutes within
sight of cuspidor in one Of the big
railway stations and watch man after
man absentmindedly expectorate in
passing, merely in response to the sug-
gestion of the cuspidor.
These two masculine habits about
equalize a woman's inveterate habit of
glancing at every mirror she passes."-

News Clipped From
Our Exchanges

The law providing that legal notices
must be published IN a newspaper of
general circulation, and published at
I regular intervals for a period of at
least one year, has been held to be
constitutional by decision recently
rendered by Judge Ellsworth of the
superior court OF Alameda county.
The law was passed at the instance of
the Press Association in 1908, and
amended and amplified IN 1905. The
law is designed to protect established
papers against mushroom ventures in
tended to corral legal patronage at the
very outset of their career from the
district in the immediate vicinity of
their publication. The case decided
was in regard to the Berkeley Re-
porter. There was no question raised
as to its being a newspaper of general
established for many years. But lately
daily was started in connection with
the weekly, and the claim was made
that the old standing of the weekly
brought it at once within the pro-
vision of law as regards age. The
court ruled otherwise, and holds that
1t is not entitled to publish legal ad-
vertisements until as daily it
reaches the age limit.
A fellow with a dozen or less
aliases was wanted by Constable Dave
Gray last Tuesday for working good
thing in the insurance line among
the Slavonians at Amador City and
for failing to pay for room and board
at hostlery. The fellow had been
arrested on the latter charge and put
up the caslI bail to the tune of S35.
Then, considering the incident closed,
Constable Gray came down here and
notified the constable of this town
ship of the facts as above set forth
and then boarded the train for Gait,
and from there to Lodi, in search of
his man. Soon after constable Gray
had gone the fellow passed through
town and constable Kelly took him in
and sent word to Gait TO intercept the
Sutter Creek sleuth on his way to
Sacramento. Grav came up on the
train and took his prisoner to Sutter
Tuesday afternoon, lodging him IN
the branch bastile at that place. Thus
the matter stood until Thursday
night, when the man of numerous
nomenclature regained his liberty
and proceeded at once to give leg
bail, perambulate, scratch gravel,
absquatulate or skedaddle. When
heard from Friday the constable from
the hills and his. grey charger were
at the Slough House and the escape
nowhere in sight. Echo.
