Successful Applicants.

The board of education concluded
yesterday the work Of examining the
papers of the applicants for teachers
certificates. There we're "a applicants
before the board. Of these only .l3
we're awarded certificates. This is a
smaller percentage than has been
known for some years. and is parti-
cularly noticeable at this time, when
the demand for teachers is greater
than the supply. When there is q
superabundance of teachers, severe
test in the nature of questions pro-
pounded may be looked for, but when
the reverse is the case, the tendency,
if there is any difference at all, is
naturally the other way. The sue
cessful applicants are as follows:
Bertha Marchant, Drytown.

City Trustees.

The board of city trustees met Mon
day evening as board of equalization
to hear applications for increase or
decrease in assessment valuations.
The city assessor has copied the
assessment roll of the county without
any change whatever. One applica-
ton was received from the leila MIN
ing Company asking for a reduction
of $50. 00U from the figures returned
by the assessor. The application was
substantially the same as that made
before the county board. The matter
has not been decided. The board has
met nightly during the week, in q
critical examination of the roll. 1t
is not likely that any material change
will be made.
The last meeting for this purpose
will be held this evening.

Alarm of Fire.

A big commotion was created by
the alarm uf fire about seven O'Clock
Monday evening. As soon as the fire
bell sounded hundreds OF persons
rushed into the streets, and excitedly
inquired the whereabouts of the fire.
Some were led to believe at first, be-
cause the brewery was mentioned in
the replies, that that establishment was
the scene of the fire. Hundreds rush.
ed to that quarter of the city. 1t
proved false alarm. An Austrian
named John Petrusch, OCCUPYING a
dwelling house in the rear of the
brewery, had gathered quantity of
rubbish in his yard, and thoughtlessly
set fire to it, contrary to city ordin-
ance. Of course he was not aware of
the law prohibiting such action. He
raised a big scare for few seconds
by his thoughtless move. He was
hauled up promptly before city magis-
trate Thompson, and paid a fine of So.

BASEBALL.

3 Last Sunday the baseball team from
San AndIeas came over to jackson to
play return game on the local dia-
mond with the athletic club nine. At
the first game at San AndIeas three
weeks ago, the Calaveras boys were
defeated, after we'll contested game.
This last bout went the same way,
although the outside team made every
effort to strengthen their forces by
selecting the best ball tossers they
could find from different parts of the
county. The game was an interesting
one, and played with admirable
spirit, both sides doing their level
best to carry off the honors. The

Board of Pharmacy
Inspector Makes a Visit.

c. K. Smith, employed as an in
spector by the state hoard of pLar-
macy, to see that the law regulating
the sale of drugs are complied with,
was in Jackson the latter part OF last
week. He is required to visit all
drug stores to ascertain whether the
rules regarding the sale of poisons
are strictly observed. This was one
of the duties that brought him here.
In addition, he called at different
grocery stores, and in all places
where drugs were on the shelves for
sale. ordered that they be removed,
and their sale be discontinued, as the
same was contrary to law. The law
prohibits the sale of all drugs and
proprietary medicines by groceries
situated within two miles of a drug
store. OF course this would apply to
all general stores IN this city. The
law permits the sale of medicine by
other than drug stores located beyond
two miles of drug store, but such
business places ale required to pay a
license of So per year. The tend
ency of the law is to drive all bust
ness in the sale of drugs and medi-
clnes to the regular pharmacies. The
inspector visited other towns in this
county in the same behalf. A viola,
ton of this law SUBJECTS the violator
to heavy fines and peGalties.

specimens of ore taken therefrom.
From here he went to San Francisco,
to see parties there likely to become
interest ed IN the development of the
mining property.

In Memory of Mrs E. M. Malson.

This community was very much
shocked and panied last week, when
it was learned that Mrs MaIson, @
pioneer resident of this county, had
passed away. Who that has had the
pleasure of visiting the we'll known
Malson ranch, below Drytown, can
ever forget the hearty and cordial
reception that was extended to him
by that whole souled and noble
woman. Mrs Ellen Nj. MaIson, who al
the close of quiet Sabbath day, re-
tired to rest ana to sleep the sleep
that knows no waking.
Mrs P. W. Green, a very dear
friend, who was visiting and not
working for the deceased, las has
been stately was aroused during the
night by noise in the room occu-
pied by Mrs Malson. She went to the
door and spoke her name. The reply
was 81 am all right, return to your
rest.'' At the regular hour to arise
for the days duties, Mrs Green, not
hearing a sound from her companion,
again stepped into the room and
spoke. Receiving no reply, she gent
ly moved her head, discovering that
she had passed away. Her position
was one of peaceful rest, with both
hands folded over her breast, and o
calm sweet smile on her face, show
ing she had indeed gone to Sleep
Having known her and with the
greatest esteem from early boyhood
days, | cannot refrain from giving
some expression to my grief for the
passing of this noble hearted friend,
not only mine, but all who came
within circle OF her acquaintainship.
If sympathy were required, Mrs NAL
son sympathized, your grief was her
grief. Assistance from her tor the
poor and needy was ever ready. Be
he friend or stranger, no weary and
worn passer by, whether clad in
broadcloth, or an unfortunate seeker
for employment, ever passed this good
Samaritan without receiving an in
vitation to partake of rest and re-
freshment.
The scriptural injunction, cit is
more blessed to give than to receive"
was strictly adhered to, as was the
command, "Do unto others as you
wish them to do unto you.'
Mrs Malson was born in Vermont,
moving to Wisconsin in her early
childhood days. From that state she
came to California about 40 years
ago. She was laid by the side of her
husband, the late A. Malson, in the
Drytown cemetery, according to the
rites of the M. E. church, Rev. John
Appleton officiating. Those of her
family who remain to mourn her
departure are: MIS- d. A. Patterson
of jackson, Mrs 6. W. LeMoin of
Lodi, Mrs Hattie Dennis of San Luis
Obispo, Mrs W. II. BlakeIy of DIytown,
with several grand and great grand
children, as we'll as the people of the
community in which she lived.
Farewell! Thou art gone, but not
forgotten, sweet are the words of Mrs
Ii. 3. Stowe:
There is no death, the leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.

BOndSmen Withdraw.

Last Monday four of the sureties
Oh the official bond of Fred E. jack
son, city marshal and tax and license
collector, left with the clerk of the
board of city trustees a notice and
petition withdrawing from further
responsibility on account of said
bond. The petition states that the
marshal has been absent from the
city, and as the petitioners believe
from the state, for more than three
months past, that the bondsmen were
not notified of his intended absence,
and no arrangements we're made with
them for such absence, and that his
present whereabouts are to them un-
known.
Mr. jackson left here some FIVE
months ago, tor the purpose it was
reported of proceeding to one of the
mining districts of Nevada on a pro-
specting tour. The night before leav-
ing special meeting of the city
trustees was held, and the appoint
ment of q. M. Huberty as deputy
marshal IN his absence, was ratified
by the board. This it appears was all
that was done in the matter. Nh
Huberty has attended to the duties
of the marshaiship ever since. The
action of the hondsmep is not to be
taken as reflection in any way upon
the conduct of the office by the
deputy. They we're placed in the
awkward pIedicament of being made
responsible for the work of another,
and that without their consent.
They saw that the only way out of
the dilemma under the circumstances
was to withdraw from the bond.
There we're five persons on the
bond, namely, Geo. L. Thomas, V.
Podesta, Ii. S, Talon, Richard Webb,
and U. s. Gregory. The four first
named are on the petition to with
draw.
1t seems that the resignation of
jackson was received before the ad-
journed meeting of the board last
night. The bondsmen were waited
upon individually, and asked to con-
sent that the withdrawal notice should
not be placed on file. They we're
assured that there was nothing wrong
with the accounts, after an examina-
ton thereof. That the resignation
would no doubt be accepted, and no
liability would rest upon the bonds
men by such course. Naturally the
bondsmen expressed themselves as
satisfied, as far as they we're PERSONAL
ly concerned, if they were thus re-
Leased. So 1t seems the withdrawal
was not regularly filed. G. M. Hub
erty was elected to fill the vacancy.

Car Run Over His Leg.

Ewdard l'revaskis, who is employed
in looking after the COMMENTATORS at
the Kennedy mine, met with severe
accident last Monday. He was
assisting in moving car loaded with
sulphurets. His foot slipped on &C
count of any oily spot on the track,
causing him to fall in front of the
car, which passed over one leg, bruis-
ing it very badly, although breaking
no bones. He was moved to his
mothers residence at Newmanville,
where his injuries we're attended to
by surgeon. The accident is likely
to keep him from work for several
weeks.

Golden Wedding.

The fiftIeth anniversary of the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs James Meehan
was celebrated yesterday afternoon
and evening at the Meehan residence
on the Volcano road. 10 pass fifty
years of smatrImonial life is rare
occurrence anywhere, and more
especially when as in this case, the
years have travelled by with the pair
residing in the same county and it
might almost be said in the same
town. On the 18th of August, 1857,
James Meehan, one of the sturdy
pioneers of '49 days, vas married in
the town of Volcano, to Miss Mary A.
Rawle, the daughter of California
pioneers, whose parents we're at that
time engaged in business IN the most
bustling and prosperous town of ANA
dor county. Through all the years
they have claimed this foothill region
as their home. Nine children were
born to them, six of whom have gone
to the silent land before them; the
three remaining being George Nee
han, Mrs Nellie Fontenrose and Miss
Loretta Meehan.
So far as we know, there are but two
passed the semi-ceptennial uf married
IIfe-namely Mr. and Mrs Z. DIVER,
whose golden wedding occurred in
1905. Also Mr. and Mrs W. p. Peek,
who reached the same point in Iife's
journey two years ago.
During the whole of yesterday after
noon, stream of visitors focked to
the Meehan residence, all anxious to
extend them congratulations over the
notable event.
Numerous handsome presents we're
received among them being brooch
of gold presented to Mrs Meehan by
the Native Daughters of Ursula Par
Tor, and gold fob to Mr. Meehan,
with pick and shovel engraved there
on, emblematic of pioneer mining
days. Also a gold berry spoon and
set of silver spoons we're presented, as
a citizens gift on the suspicious
event. Many costly individual gifts
were also received, some from per-
sons living beyond the boundaries of
the country.
In the evening the grounds we're
brilliantly lighted with electric lights
and Chinese lanterns. Visitors flock
ed there in scores. The Native
Daughters went in body, and the
formal presentation of the presents
from that organization took place,
Mrs Hattie O'NeiI making the pre-
sentation speech. The jackson band
was in attendance and played during
the evening, also the small boys
gathered in numbers and Joined in
the enthusiasm of the unusual wedd-
ing festivities. 1t would be unbecom-
ing to particulariZe the presents and
donors. The individual presents in
cIuded a snug little sum in gold coin.
Among these. we understand, was
purse of $50. Representing a gold
dollar for every annual milestone
passed in that long voyage IN reach
Ing the year of jubilee in matrI-
monial life. The guests we're RECALLED
with ice-cream, cake and other re-
freshments galore. Each visitor was
presented with a souvenir of the
affair, in the shape of cardboard
folder, the outside bearing an ap
propriate inscription, and the inside
a photo engraving of the Meehan
residence and the portraits of Mr. and
Mrs Meehan.
