A Double Celebration on the Tapis.

jackson is threatened with a pIetho-
"a in the celebration line. The Native
Sons of Excelsior ParIor is taking
steps to celebrate admission dav.
September 8. At the same time the
local miners union is thinking of
celebrating labor day on the I'd of
September. 1t is admitted on all
sides that it would be suicidal To
have two demonstrations so close
together-the one would inevitably
Interfere with the success of the
other. Both sides have been canvass
Ing for inscriptions during the week.
For the admission day affair the sum
promised amounts to between $500
and S6OO. 1t Is claimed that thew
must have at least $500 before they
would be justified in going ahead;
some claim $1,000 is necessary. 1t is
doubtful if the list can be sweIIed to
the minimum amount.
The labor union folks have also
canvassed the field. They have
smaller amount on their list, but it
seems their ideas in the celebration
line are on more moderate scale.
1t is reported that they are resolved
to go ahead anyhow.
Why not both orders unite, and
nave joint celebration, sharing the
profits or losses as the case might be.

AN EXPLODED STORY.
Johnny Burke all right in Blair.

A foolish story was circulated here
to the effect that Johnny Burke, who
for some time was employed IN the
jackson Shoe Store, had gone insane
in Nevada, and was sent to the insane
asylum at Carson; that he made his
escape from that institution, and
wandered off into the desert and had
not been heard of since, the supposi
tion being that he persisted in the
sagebrush wastes. The story seems
to have started from letters sent from
Nevada, but without any authentic
data upon which to base the reports
of disaster. He left here several
months ago, and went to Blair, a
hew mining camp in the Tonopah
country, and found employment in a
mine over which A. Noce, formerly
of the Oneida, was superintendent.
The tales of his mental breakdown
came to the ears OF his relatives here
abouts. He is a nephew of Mrs Perry
Lepley, whose husband works at the
Kennedy. Mr. Lepley was worried
over the tidIngs of evil, and deter
mined to find out the truth. Last
week he teIegraphed to A. Noce,
requesting him to answer by telegram
what he knew about the matter
Last Saturday he received a dis
patch in reply, not from Noce, but
form burke himself, saying briefly
that he was alive and we'll, and that
letter would follow by the next mail.
The letter came to hand promptly,
and shows that there was not shred
of truth in the whole story of in
sanity. The young man explains that
after working in Blair for some time,
be left that camp, and proceeded to
Goldfield-supposed to be the Mecca
of the hosts of labor, where abund-
ance of work at top notch wages is
ready for all corners. He was sadly
disappointed, and found everything
overdone. with dozen men waiting
to grab every job IN sight. He next
went to Tonopah, and hoped to get
employment in some store. Places
of this kind we're scarce. So finally
he drifted back to Blair, and at the
time of writing was waiting on table,
enjoying good health, and earning
better wages than he formerly got at
the mine, and not nearly such hard
toll. His many friends through ANA
dor will be pleased to hear of the
absolute denial of the alarming re-
ports that were started concerning

grounds of the jackson Athletic club
last Sunday was a game between
picked nine of professional men
against team of the business men of

game in May last, which resulted in
draw. So this decisive contest was

A WEIRD TALE OF CRIME.

A terrible story of crime comes
floating back from Austria, involving
one who was we'll known throughout
this county, named George Gregovich.
He was known as 'ttalI George, )"
being one of the tallest men in the
county. he stood feet inches.
He had worked in the keystone,
leila and other mines of Amador for
the past twenty years, and might have
accumulated considerable money, but
for an inveterate habit of dabbling in
stocks. he had sister, so the story
goes, whu was married to a wealthy
Russian, and who was living in
Russia. During the revolutionary
troubles of that distracted country,
this rich Russian was KILLED. There
after the widow sent money to her
brother George, then IN jackson, for
him to return to his native land,
Bosnia, and visit his sister in
Russia.
With this financial incentive, he
left here about six months ago, not
intending to return. Whether he
visited his sister in Russia we cannot
say. At any rate he got back to his
old home in a town called Pastovich,
Bosnia. Here his aged mother lived.
She was between 10 and 80 years old.
His father died many years ago.
George fell in love with a young
woman there, and they were engaged
to be married. The prospective bride
did not command the approval of the ,
mother, so it is claimed.
Sam SavIch, who keeps a boarding
house on Broadway, was we'll ac-
quainted with Gregovich. A few days
ago he received a paper printed in
New York In the Slovenian language,
which contained IN account of the
tragic climax of this love affair. He
informs us that the paper stated that
on the 18th of June the mother, as
George afterward explained it, made
some remarks about the girl which
greatly incensed Gregovich. A quarrel
ensued, the upshot of which was that
Gregovich got an tx with which he
struck his mother three blows on the
head, killing her almost instantly.
The matricIde at once surrendered
himself to the officers, and told the
story of the homicide. He is in Jail
awaiting trial. 1t is not probable
that trial will be necessary, as he
admits the awful deed. The indigna-
tion of the people was such that the
matt iclde would have been torn to
pieces had they been able to lay
hands on him when they first learned
of the tragedy. 1t is believed he will
be given life Imprisonment, as the
death penalty is not favored in that
country.
Gregovich was not considered a
man of violent passion by those best
acquainted with him in this county.
He is between 80 and 60 years of age.
1t is said he has brother living in
this state.
We cannot say with certainty that
the slayer referred to In the paper is
the same man that left this county;
but the general belief among those
who we're we'll acquainted with him
here is that he is the man.
Use Pioneer flour, and You will
ca Ii for no other brand.

IN THE HOMESTRETCH

Members of the Assembly at Carson
have. decided that no new measures
shall be introduced before that law
making body after next Wednesday.
This decision was reached because the
Assemblymen desire to clean up the
mass of legislative business now before
them. 1t is good idea. There are
already great number of bills requir-
ing attention, and for other matters to
keep piling up almost to the hour of
adjournment would clog the wheels of
legislation, as it would mean constant
mass of new matters to engross mem
bers individually and in committee so
as to hamper the work of wedding the
wheat from the chaff in the bills that
are now awaiting attention.
After Wednesday the work of the
Assembly will narrow down to ques-
tons requiring careful and judicious
attention and the fullest and freest
discussion, and the result should be to
the advantage of the entire State.

ROOT MISSES
WAITING BRIDE
Run Down Alarm Clock Makes an
Awful Mess Of Popular Young
Mans Wedding Plans

w. Is. Root, Jr., left for Salt Lake
today. He planned to leave yesterday
morning, but missed his train. This in
its self is trivial circumstance which
would be unworthy of record under
ordinary circumstances, but in this
particular case. the missing of the
train was an event in Root life.
Root had planned to go to Salt Lake
yesterday morning. He was to have
been met Cobre by Miss Lena Miller,
a California belle and they were
to have gone on to Salt Lake
and to have been married Immediately
upon their arrival there.
But Root forget to wind the alarm.
After packing his grip with his we'd
ding fnery, Root laid all his plans to
arise early yesterday morning, par
take of hearty breakfast and catch
the train without undue haste.
But Root forgot the necessary act of
winding the alarm clock, ard when he
awakened it was within ten minutes of
the departure of the train. Dressing
hastily, and putting his collar and era
vat in his coat pocket, he made dash
for the train which would have put him
in a class by himself, had a stop
watch been held on him.
AS Root dashed to the station, the
rear coach of the passenger train was
disappearing in the cold gray dawn of
of the morning, and Root was left in
the lurch.
At Cobre, there was a disappointed
bride-to-be. At Ely was bridegroom
elect who was frantic because of his
failure to catch the train.
Root wired to Miss Miller, at every
station between Cobre and Ogden, and
finally established communication with
her, endeavoring to square" himself.
At Salt Lake, the wedding bells will
ring, but they will be twenty-four
hours behind the schedule, and for
twenty-four hours, there will be a
pretty bride-elect, waiting at the

LF.CONDEMNATION

The duty of an employee to his en-
ployer is thus made plain in one of FL
bert Hubbard's latest epigrammatic
epistles, in which the "knocker is
knocked in the head:
If you work for a man, in heaven
name, work for him..
If he pays you wages that supply
your bread and butter, work for him,
speak we'll of him, stand by him, and
stand by the institution he represents.
% If | worke ed for man, lwould work

part of his time, but all of his time.
81 would give an undivided service
or none.
If put to the pinch, an ounce OF
loyalty is worth pound of cleverness.
eff you must vilify, condemn, ex.
ternally disparage, why resign your
position, and when you are outside,
damn to your hearts content. But,
pray you, so long as you are part
of an institution, do not condemn it.
Not that you will injure the institution
not that but when you disparage
the concern of which you are part,
you disparage yourself.
