American Hill, six miles east of this
town, is rapidly becoming inhabited
and is the scene of an excitement
unique in Sierra county mining his
tory. Miners from Allegheny, Forest
and Sierra City are rushing to the
place in large numbers and are
searching the old tumbled down cab
ms and hills in their endeavor to To-
cate some of the vast treasure which
is believed to. be hidden there.
The rush to the hill is the result
OF the exaggerated reports which
have gotten abroad as to the extent
of the Wash and Chambers find.
These two men several days ago un-
earthed considerable coin in an In
dian cabin at the place and came to
this city to spend it. They rented
an entire saloon and gave free liquor
to every one who applied. 1t is
thought their find amounts to about
$4,000.

OUR LAND LAWS
need REVISION
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Dec 14-At a banquet
at the Commercial Club tonight,
Ethan Allan Hitchcock, former Sec
retary of the Interior, delivered an
address covering the legislation and
work of the Department of the In
terror. He narrated, in a general
way, all that has been accomplished
by the department since it's incep-
ton, covering his own administra-
ton. He detailed problems which
the department was compelled to
meet from time to time.
Before commencing his formal ad-
dress, he briefly discussed the public
land laws, declaring they are too
numerous, and imperatively need re-
vision. He particularly urged an
immediate repeal of the timber and
stone act, desert land act, and es-
pecially the eighth section of the
homestead law, through which he
said the greatest frauds have been
and are being perpetrated.

aged MAN IS
GUILTY OF ARSON

SAN JOSE, Dec. 14.-George w.
Eaverty, until May 25 of this year a
respected and widely known San
Jose business man, was today con-
victed by jury in Judge Welch's
department of the Superior Court of
arson in the first degree. Laverty
Is an aged man, almost entirely deaf.
A fire in his livery stable on May 25
destroyed a stock of buggies, harness
and other stable furnishings, together
with between eighteen and twenty
head of horses. The blaze was COM
municated to lodging house on the
upper floor and three men were
burned to DEATH The prosecution
proved with circumstantial evidence
entirely that Laverty was beyond a
doubt guilty of the crime as charged.
Judge Welch set Friday, December
20, as the date for sentence. The
minimum penalty for the offense is
two years in State prison. There is
no maximum. The case has attracted
much local attention owing to Law
erty's wide acquaintance and the
holocaust which the fire in his stable
brought on the Union lodging house
above it.

Princeton Card Players Cleared

The prosecution of thirty-two leading
society people of Princeton for the
playing of cards at parties where prizes
are given, resulted last Thursday night
in verdict of not guilty.
The jury was composed of farmers
and it required three hours for
them to reach a verdict. There were
five lawyers pitted against the prose
cutting attorney, Ben r. Kesterson, and
they convinced the six good men and
true, that the card players had in nc
way violated the statutes. The case is
thus stopped in the lower court, and
no opportunity will be afforded to test
the meaning Of the law in a court OF
last resort.
The testimony brought out some
amusing things, some of the 'booby'
winners having to confess the identity
Of the property they gained in their
pursuits. A physician testified that
he got toy box of pills. The defense
endeavored to establish the point that
when these people went to the parties
+, they did not know whether there was
to be prize or not, and that sometimes
prizes were not given.
| 1t was necessary to call twenty three
men before the lawyers could agree up
on jury.
Testimony was introduced to SHOW
that Kesterson had been persuaded tx
bring these proceedings through the
complaints of gamblers convicted o.
poker-playing, who insisted that the
society folks were lust as bad" 1t is
certain that the prosecutor has gained
no great popularity by his action.

WOMEN'S WOES.
Leon women are Finding Relief at
Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must keep
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep the kidneys we'll and
health is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys. Mrs. Sherman
Clayton, living two blocks from the
southeast corner of the square, Cory don,
Ia. says: 81 honestly believe there is
little need of anyone suffering the
tortures of backache when such an
effective remedy can be procured as
Doan's Kidney Pills have proved to be.
The prompt and thorough relief which
followed their use in my case has given
me abiding faith in the merits of the
remedy. know that the remedy can
be depended upon to. act to the repre-
sentation made for it and this knowl-
edge should be of untold value to peo-
| pie suffering from backache and kidney
complaint" Plenty more proof like this

REPORTS ON EXAMINATION.
States Out of 1,739 Writing, 1914
Received Certificates.

State Superintendent Riggs has given
out the following statements concerning
the second examination of teachers un-
der the new certificate law:
The total number of persons writing
in the examination the last week in
January was 1739.
The answer papers were all read and
marked in one week. Another week

Of the 1,793 persons writing, S94 re-
ceived certificates and 2S7 near the
passing mark for the third grade certifi-
cate may upon request of county
superintendent, be granted provisional
certificates should their services be
required to fill the schools. The num-
Der of absolute failures therefore was
55S. OF these 16l were under Is years
of age. A majority of those writing
had never held certificates, most of
them being young and many of them
with no training above that received in
the country schools.
One hundred and sixty-one were
urder Is years of age; Col were IS at
last birthday and 800 were 10 at last
birthday; that is to say 1,179 were
under 20 years of age, while $50 were
20 years of age or over.

of the two sets of harness to the farmer
for an old buggy, getting $40 in cash to
boot. From this place they followed
his trail to the place where he stopped
at noon and fed his team, but from that
point no further trace of him could be
found. The thief had inquired the road
to st. Joe and after losing the trail the
sheriff and Carlson took the train and
went to that city, but their search there

Burlington Wins Mail Contract

Washington, D. c., Feb. IA -"It was
announced at the post Office depart
ment yesterday that the trans-contnen-
tai mail will continue to be forwarded
by the Burlington route"
In this brief official statement is made
known the decision OF Postmaster
General Cortelyou in railway mail
service case that has attracted at
tention throughout the country.
| A few months ago the Rock Island
road, desiring to obtain the contract
for carrying the trans-continental mail
to Omaha and other points west of Chi
cago, suggested to the postofli &c depart
| ment that the mails be turned over to
it from the Lake Shore road at Engle-
wood, a few miles outside of Chicago
Officials of the Rock Island argued
that by this arrangement the cost of
the transfer of the mails across Chi
cago could be saved and in addition the
cost of carrying the mails to Omaha
would be less by the Rock Island than
by the Burlington, because the former
is land grant line, and under the law
the cost Of carrying the mails on such
line is less than it is over other lines
About ten days ago it was announced
semi-ofiicially that the Burlington route
and Lake Shore officials, had formula
ted plan to transfer the mails across
Chicago in solid cars without expense
to the government. This proposition
was well received by the department
officials, as they did not care to make
a change in the system of handling the
trans-continental mails, unless it should
appear that the margin of expense was
too great in favor of the Burlington.
The representatives of the Rock
Island pressed their claims vigorously,
urging that even if the Burlington and
Lake Shore had met their rate by elm
mating the cost of transferring the
mails across Chicago, they yet were
able to carry the mails at less cost
than the Burlington, because their line
is a land grant road.
Finally the representative of the Burl-
ington, in order to eliminate the land
grant feature from the arguments,
agreed to meet absolutely the Rock
Islands rate from Chicago westward.
This was made the basis of the post
master generals decision.

Divorces Must wait Year to
Marry.

To prevent divorced people from get
ting married again before they have
hardly left the court room is the pur-
pose of the Jones divorce bill passed

vided in the Jones bill, both parties
must wait one year from the entry Of
any decree of divorce before again
marrying, although they may remarry
each other.

be put on it's passage recalled an occur
renee in Mahaska county during the
past year. when two couples made
arrangements to get divorces, after
which each of the husbands Immediately
married the others wife. Each of them
had children and the parties returned
to reside in the same neighborhood.
"What respect asked Senator Jones
"could their children have for marriage
vows?"

show that Iowa was behind surrounding
states with a divorce law of this sort
