Carl Antoine schneiter Dead.

Carl Antoine Schneiter, ranchman
living on Cottonwood creek was drown
ed in that stream on the 23rd day oil
May, 1907, and as near as we could learn
under the following circumstances:
Mr.. Schneiter, who has an excellent
ranch on Cottonwood creek east of Buff
falo Gap, is largely engaged in garden
ing and for this purpose had put in a
dam on the creek and taken out bitches
to irrigats the land. The late heavy
rains had sweled the volume of water
in the creek and Mr.. Schneiter, fearing
that the dam might be damaged, arose
from his bed in the night and lighting
his lantern went out TO see if any dam
age was being done. His daughter was
awoke and took notice that he did not
return within a reasonable time, arose
and stepped to the door to ascertain the
reason of the delay. The dam was not
far from the house but she could not
see any light so she went to the dam to
see if there was anything the matter.
TO her great CONSERVATION her father
was not there, neither did he respond
to her call, and she knew then that he
must have fallen into the creek and was
drowned. She could do nothing but
arouse the neighboring farmers who i'm
mediately rushed to the scene but after
diligent search Mr.. Schneiter could not
be found. But they found the next day
his shovel just above the dam, and they
concluded that that was where be fell
in, and by dragging the creek they found
the body above the dam. This occurred
on the 23rd of May and the coroner was
notified, who with his jury Immediately
drove to the scene of the accident. The
names of the coroner's jury appear in
their verdict which we publish and is as
follows:

The Law Governing
Deposit of County Funds.

According to the last count of
money in the county treasury, the
amount on special deposit in the
Amador County Bank was S33, 200.
This draws interest at the rate of two
per cent per annum. The law on this
subject reads as follows:
1.-The tolal amount of public moneys
on deposit in any bank, shall not at
any one time exceed fifty per cent of
the paidup capital stock of such de-
positarV bank or banks. No officer
shall have on deposit at any one time
more than ten per cent of the public
moneys in any tank while there ar g
other qualified banks requesting such
deposits, provided, that no treasurer
of county, or municipality, shall
be required to deposit public moneys
in any bank outside OF the COUNTY
owning the money or in which the
municipality is situated.
Ehe capital stock of the Amador
Bank is $50, 200. 1t is the intention
of the directors to increase this
capitalization, but as it stands at
presentthe treasurer is limited under
the law to Sl5,O 900 as the maximum
amount OF county money that can be
placed therein on deposit; when, as a
matter of fact, there Is over double
that amount. Treasurer Gritton
stated that he was not aware of this
provision of the law until it was re-
Gently called to his attention. While
he teels perfectly safe as regards the
amount of security held by him to
protect this large deposit, nevertheless
he will obey the mandate of the law,
and see that not 10 exceed 80 per cent
of the amount of paid up capital
stock is hereafter on deposit. 1t Is
only right to state, however, that
while the capital stock of the Amador
Bank is $50, ,00O, with the surplus that
has been accumulated by the policy
so far followed by the bank in not
declaring dividends, the amount OF
capital invested in the local bank is
IN excess of $50, COO. Whether this
surplus would cut any figure IN
authorizing the enlargement of the
limit of so per cent We are net prepared
to say. The fact is that the amount
of county funds in the Amador Bank
is little if any In excess of 80 per
cent of the amount of capital invested
by the stockholders in that institu-
tion.

The. Appeal to Reason, the socialist
and anarchistic propaganda organ
pub blished at Girard, Kansas, comes
to us this week printed OH red paper,
the color indicative of its doctrines.
This is significant taken in connection
with the distribution of red dodgers
aruund jackson by the local adher-
ents of the same cause, urging the
miners to "get ready for the solemn
ity of May 1st.'' May first is the
original labor day-a day selected in
honor of labor. Perhaps the mention
of May lst has no other significance
than this. The miners are not in
formed as to how they should ''get
ready" That is left for the imagina-
ton to fill in. And in fact the gap is
being filled by all kinds of theories,
some of them of the widest and most
startling character. People don't
know where they are at when such
blind documents are thrown in their
face. Attempts to intiame the public
mind in this way should be suppress
ed by the strong arm of tie law as
soon as possible.

the usual imprint. The wording was
brief. consisting of the following in
three languages, English, Italian and
Austrian:
"Miners, get ready for the solemn
ity of May 1st. ="
We are told that early in the week
these crimson emblems of discredIt
ed political creed we're scattered
literally over the city, posted on
bulletin boards and on telephone
poles, and other conspicuous place.
To the credit of the citizens of Jack
son, be it said, they did not long re-
main on display. Early Wednesday
morning trip through Main street
revealed only one solitary placard in
sight; displayed in a show window of
business house.
1he reader is left to infer what is
meant by the 'solemnity of May lst. I"
1t Is very ambiguous and probably
Intentionally obscure. But the pro-
clamation, and Its sanguinary ground
work is not to be mistaken. 1t
emanates from the band of anarchists,
masquerading under the name OF
socialists. The prevailing interpreta-
tion of this movement taken in con
nection with expressed intentions to
parade on the 1st of May, is that it
is call addressed to miners TO
participate in a street procession
under the red flag on May day.
! Rumors have been afioat that the
record of last year is to be repeated
this year, with greater numbers. The
red banner was Haunted in the face OF
American citizenship on that occasion
without hindrance. much to the dis
gust and humiliation of those who
appreciate and respect the principles
of this government. If this be the
program, let US hope in the interest
of decency, that the voice of protest
on the part of all good citizens will
find expression in such emphatic
manner, coupled with the efforts OF
peace officers to prevent such a dis,
graceful display, that the leaders will
be led to forgo the anarchistic part
at least of their parade. If they want
to show their strength of mum hers
in public parade, that is their
privilege. This is free country; but
liberty must not degenerate into
license, and a defiance of our prin-
ciples of government. Any body OF
men can hold to their opinions nc
matter how erroneous or revolution
ary those opinions may be, but they
must not publicly insult native born
and naturalized citizens alike, by acts
which not only tend to but actually
invite disturbance of the peace.
The local miners union repudiates
all connection with these dodgers or
the movement which they are design
ed to aid. Although the appeal is
made direct to miners, the intlmation
thereby conveyed that the miners as
body are in sympathy with these
tactics Is entirely erroneous. On the
contrary, miners are as pronounced
in their opposition to such infiamma-
tory appeals as any other class of
citizens.

AUKUM.

Aukum, April 14.-This community
was shocked at the announcement
that VIM. Hynds, an old and respected
citizen, was found dead in his cabin
on Friday last about noon. i, Coroner
Potter held the Inquest, although Nj
Hynds died on the Aukum side of the
river. the division line that divides
Amador and Ell Dorado counties. 1t
appears that coroner Winchell of Ell
Dorado county had an inquest to
hold in his county, and as Mr. Hynds
died only just barely acr oss the river
an arrangement between the two
coIoners was made that Mr. Potter
might cross the line and hold the in.

banker of his surroundings tor several
miles in extent. lie was a brainy
mall, far above mediocre. He possess
ed good education, which coupled
with adroitness and integrity of pur
pose made him a marked man, who
invariably met respect wherever be
was known. In the little cabin where
he died he lived for 30 years, us a
ditch tender for Hayward and Hobart,
where he amassed his money by tend
ing ditch for a good salary, and by
loaning and specuiating with the
funds he held at his command. To
his friends he was always staunch
and faithful, and unlike most of
money loaneIs he was charitable in
all his actions. The community has

DRY FARMING EXPERTS.
Methods of Growing Crops on the
Plains Discussed at Manhattan.

Manhattan, Kan. June 28.-The two
days session of the second annual
meeting of the Cooperative Experiment
association of the great plains area was
President Nichols of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. He was followed
by Director E. a. Burnett of Lincoln,
Neb.. who emphasized the following
points:
Necessity of conservation of soil
moisture by a four-inch mulch of pull
verified soil.
Crops best suited for dry plains are
those which mature before the summer
drought, such winter wheat. early
cats. barley, sorghum and alfalfa.
Raising alfalfa on table lands, where
SO land will produce a $40 crop of al
falfa seed.
THE results of experimental stations
should be used to assist residents, not
stimulate immigration"
DR.. F. ]. Away, of Nebraska, gave
an instructive lecture on the soil studies
recently made at Indian Head, Canada.
DR.. Kearney. of the department of ag-
Africa, as a highly successful example
of dry land culture, adapted to this
country.
Prof. E. C. Montgomery spoke upon
comparative cost of crop production in
humid and dry climates. He said while
statistics available are not reliable, it
appears that the cost is about the same
for both. 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion that crops on dry plains should be
raised on alternative years only and
that the intervening years should be
given to conserving moisture. The
Campbell system of intensive dry
farming was criticised in that it does
not provide a method of returning or
ganic matter to the soil.
This meeting is primarily, for the pur-
pose of comparing experiments of the
government experts employed in the
eleven experiment stations located in
the plains area from Texas to Canada.

''CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an. obstinate case of eczema,
L resorted to the Cuticura Remedies.
and was SO well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cutlcura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed UP. So we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby. living as we do
