Back from England.

William PeIlow. who is stone blind
from an explosion in tho mines which
happened II or ii years ago, returned
Sunday evening TO jackson, after an
eight months absence in his native
country. England. He has made
three trips to the old country since
he became blind, and the most re-
markable fact about it is that he
travels a great part OF the time alone.
This last venture he made alone,
except for his fellow passengers Ell
the wants OF one in his condition as
far as they we're able. He left Jack
son on this latest journey September
IL last. His Intention was to remain
in England permanently. But, like
most of those who have been in
America nearly all their days, as
PeIlow has, especially in the foothills
of California, he soon found that the
conditions in the old country were
the climate was uncongeniaL He was
in Cornwall, near the sea onast, and
the heavy air was SO very different
from that which he had breathed in
the foothills here, that his health was
affected. He was ailing all the time,
so he concluded that he couldn't live
there. He started on the home trip
the 11th of May for New York, and
thence by the first train thereafter
left for California, reaching jackson
on the 18th. consuming just 10 days
in the trip, lie is content to pass
the rest of his days IN AmadoI
county. He is looking we'll, has lost
no flesh, and is heartily glad to get
home. He Is making his home with
his son-in-law, W. Pascoe. He is
nearly 10 years Of age, and blind
traveller of such advanced years is
entitled to newspaper article.

Decoration Day.

Yesterday, the day set apart for the
decoration of the graves of the
nations dead, was observed with be-
lifting ceremonies in Jackson. The
knights of Pythias touk the initiative
in the movement, which was started
as far as jackson is concerned by
them several years ago. This year
other orders and citizens generally
aided III the work. A committee of
ladies was appointed to prepare the
public cemetery. for the occasion, as
far as possible. This was no easy
task as weeds and underbrush had to
be cleared away from paths and
graves. A nun ber of volunteer
workers assisted, and the grass was
cleared and burned, and the grave
yard was placed in shape so that the
decorating committee could move
around readily and perform their
work. The procession filed out of
Odd Fellows hall at O'Clock, headed
by the jackson band. The Knights
of Pythias, dressed IN uniform, came
next, followed by other orders in citi-
zens attire; the Native Sons and
Daughters; Odd Fellows, and other
benevolent society swelling the rar-
ade to imposing numbers.

ferred to the obligation citizens
owed to the flag of their common
country, and that they should allow
no other flag to interfere in any
manner with their duties as citizens
and residents of this great nation.
With more singing by the quartet.
and music by the band, this conoIud-
ed the literary exercises. There we're
at least 500 persons present. Most of
those present carried a bouquet OF
flowers with which to decorate the.
graves.
The members of the Knights of
PythIas we're then conducted through
the cemetery to decorate the graves.
Small flags had been placed to mark
The graves of the Pioneer dead; aud
larger flags to Indicate the resting
place of eX-soldiers of the civil wa,.
These were all visited, and bouquet
placed on each, also on the graves OF
the members of the Knights of

d. Mattley has sold his butcher
business to Alex Eudey, from whom
he bought it about four months ago.
Alex. has travelled over the state
some, and all in all he finds jackson
about as good place for business as
he could see. MattIey was anxious
to sell out, so Eudey concluded to
buy. The price paid is about the
same as he sold out for several
months ago, with the additional cost
of some fixtures that Mattley has
added since. Mr. Eudey will con-
duct the business alone. He will
take possession on the first instant

his family back to jackson. MI

With the mines closed, the power

say no alarm was sounded and that
the machine was travelling at a
speed dangerous to public safety.
Carrot stopped the machine and
did what he could to assist the vic

members of the city council 10 con-
firm Gordon G. Corbaley as COM
missioner in the place of Commits
sioner ONO, whose term expired
yesterday, has occasioned consider
able discussion among local politi-
clans. Moore supporters claim that
the council had no legal right to re-
fuse to confirm Mr.. Corbaley, as
the law covering the appointment of
members of the city commissioners
intended that the mayor should
have at least l member of the board
who was a supporter of the ticket
on which he was elected,
1t is believed that ONO, although
claiming to be republican, was
openly antagonistic to the election
of Mr.. Moore. and that under
