THE JAPs IN KANSAS.

A force Of over fifty Japs has been

time there has been no sign of drunk

no immortality of any kind. The same
could never be said of any gang of an

SPEAKING OF WATER.

The Journal takes the position that
waterworks ought never to be owned
by private company. Water should
not have the element of commercial
ism in 1t. We may differ about NUM-
cipal ownership in many things but
there should be no difference on this
point. Water belongs to the people
and to make a business out of it is
wrong. A system of waterworks
should be run for results. not for div
idends.-Lawrence Journal.

Labor Day Celebration.

The celebration of labor day by the
jackson Miners Union will take place
in jackson next Monday, the End of
September. While the outward pre-
partitions in the way of gaudy show
are not so noticeable, the affair Is in
the hands of good financiers and
persons who are we'll versed in the art
of catering to the appetite for public
amusement. The aim of those in
charge is to give solid amusement for
those who attend, not to crafty the
whims and prejudices of individuals,
nor pander to political schemers.
The funds collected are to be spent
exclusively in furnishing entertain
ment in the way of pJrts. Floats
and gorgeous pageantry, that eat up
funds at a double quick gait, and
afford mere passing show, will be
conspicuous by their absence. In
stead, however, program of amuse-
ments has been arranged the equal of
which has never before been present
ed in this county. Over 500 in
prizes will be given for various
athletic contests, including drilling
contest, horse racing, foot races, pole
yaulting, donkey race, etc. There
Will be something entertaining to the
visitors during the entire day. More
over the money coIIectad for tha.
public will be distributed among
home people, without Discrimination.
The managers have adopted abroad
gauge plan in the arrangement for
sports. literary exercises, and ball in
the evening. They have created no
antagonisns by narrow-minded selfish
ness, and the patrons who come from
the outside may depend upon
cordial welcome, and a day of un-
mixed pleasure.

MINING NOTES.


Kennedy COLONIZATION tail

the dump for the past year, are to be
shipped to Selby's Reduction Works.
The work Of hauling them to the
railroad will commence in few
days. The big dump that had accum-

refuse, has all disappeared; the dump
being cleaned up last October. Since
then it Is estimated that the taiIings
accumulate at the rate of four or
five tons per day. so that there is
from 1900 to 1900 tons on hand at
present. The mine is looking we'll.

Welded in Oakland.

In the city of Oakland, August IA,
1907, at st. Mary's church at high
noon Miss Helen Stasal, formerly
of Suffer Creek, became the bride
of Oscar Agen of Oakland. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Father
Kennedy, assisted by Father Brooke
rich. Miss AIva Clorndis acted as
bridesmaid, and Mrs j. A. Deluechi
as matron of honor, Robert Simpson
acted as best man to the groom. TIE
church was beautifully decorated
with pink and white carnations. The
bride looked very sweet in her wedd-
ing gown of white net over white silk;
her veil was caught with a spray of
orange blossoms and she carried a
shower bouquet of BRIDES roses. Her
travelling dress champagne silk, with
a picture hat to match which looked
charming.
Miss Clorndis, the brides maid,
was attired in white dotted net over
pink silk. She carried Cecil Bruener
roses, and wore wreath of the same

white silk and carried pink carna-
tions. The BRIDES bouquet was
caught by Miss CIomey, who we hope
will be the next happy bride.
The bride was the recipient of
many beautiful presents. which were
too numerous to mention. After the
ceremony the bridal party repaired to
the home of the young couple where
an elaborate Wedding breakfast was
partaken OF, after which the happy

Jim, the Indian murderer, has but
little to say or do in this play, but
what he does and says is straight to
the point and causes two intensely
dramatic situations.
Adams work in the last act of the
play might be said to be beyond
criticisms. Phe audience watched him
with breathless interest from !. the
time Miss Gardner as, Molly Larkine
struggles with Jim to tell the true
story of the murder to the end Of
the scene when Jim hearing that his
shot proved fatal to Molly, confesses
that he is the murderer and then toe
late to Ietact his words, learns thai
Molly is not dead. 1t was real, il

stage, and hiring team from that
point from the livery stable to convey
them to their camping place, making
arrangements with the proprietor to
call for them at a specified time to
take them back to Volcano. In this
way the entire expense of keeping

Runaway Accident.

W. LasswelI, driver of Harvey
Clark's four-horse team engaged by
the city authorities in cleaning the
streets OF loose rock and rubbish,
was involved in runaway accident
Monday afternoon. He was at the
north end of EMain street, and had
accumulated two or three hundred
pounds of rocks. Near the bridge a
large granite rock had been placed,
preparatory to the drilling contest at
the labor day picnic on the I'd. This
rock scared the team, and they start
ed on the run. I'm trying to hold
them, the lines broke, and all control
was lost. They ran against the post
of the saloon porch of L. Lemin,
causing the porch to collapse against
the front of the building. They con-
tinued down street. Some distance
further down the street, the Sutter
Creek laundry wagon stood. Keallz-
ing that collision was inevitable,
the driver jumped out just before the
crash occurred. In doing so he
sprained both ankles. The team tilt
ed against the laundry wagon, and
became so mixed up that their flight
was.brought to an end. The pole OF
the Suffer Creek delivery wagon was
broken. This was the sum total OF
the damage to either wagon or horses.
Laswell was taken home, and it was
found that no bones were broke L
Both ankles became badly swollen
and painful. 1t is hoped in a few
days he will be able to resume his
work.
