the stock you own. Therefore, it is easy
to see why bonds are safer than stocks
as an investment
Bonds safer than stocks.
When business troubles come it af-
fects the stock and bonds in exactly oppo-
site and different ways. The stock be-
comes practically worthless, which
shows that stock is not an investment in
the true sense.
The bonds then show their strong
points to the very best advantage, which
is their safety and security. The stock is
weak and the bond is strong. Why?
Because the trustee takes the property
Of the stock holder and sells it to pay
the bond holder.
Buying stock is business venture
buying bonds is an investment.
The next important point
is, How much interest do you
receive from your invest
ment?
Government bonds pay about 2 per
cent; railway bonds, which are consid-
cred next to government bonds in safety,
pay from to 5A per cent. 1t is on ae-
count of the absolute safety of railway
bond that the interest is not so high as
on speculative stock, which may pay
high rate OF interest today and no in
terest year from now.
Savings banks invest surplus funds in
railway bonds paying from 315a to 5 per
cent. The profit to the savings bank is
made on account of the difference be-
tween the amount of interest they re-
ceive from the bonds they hold and the
interest they pay to their depositors.
Ocean Shore bonds are issued in de-
nominations of $100 each. They are sold
at So2 for cash, or So below their face
value The bond which pays per cent
on its face value pays SAB per cent on
an investment Of $92, consequently those
.who purchase Ocean Shore bonds receive
5.43 per cent interest on their money.
To those who have not suf-
ficient cash to buy Ocean
Shore bonds outright, an in
stallment price Of 500 is
charged for each 500.
$1o is paid down and the bond buyer
receives pass book, and this $16 is
credited in the book. The buyer then
pays $40 per month for eight months, re-
ceivng credit for each payment as it is
paid in, and at the end of eight months
receives an interest coupon good for
$3.50, which practically reduces the cost
of his bond to $3.50, netting 5.2l per
cent interest on the investment.
The Ocean Shore Railway was the
first company to issue Sl00 bonds and
sell them on the installment plan. Most
railway bonds are issued in denomina-
tions of 81, ,OOO each.
This high denomination is generally
prohibitive to the man of moderate
means, and on account of the high price
most railway bonds have been sold to
the exclusive rich.
The Ocean Shore railway
desires that it's bonds be held
by the plain people, distri-
buted among a large number
of bond buyers.

Prospective investors have
every possible opportunity to
secure complete information
about Ocean Shore bonds,
which are a good, sound, safe
and profitable investment.
Any one who desires further informa-
ton on this subject is welcome to call at
the office of the president, to go over the
books of the company, to talk with the
railroad officials and to go over the road
and see for themselves the natural and
great advantages this road has already
acquired.
There is no better investment offered
to any one by any concern than Ocean
Shore bonds. The interest is high, the
security is safe and the enterprise merito-
rious.
We can supply you with the names of
several hundred buyers of Ocean Shore
bonds if you want them.
In the meantime ask us any questions
that enter your mind and we will be
very glad to give you full and complete
information.

Fatal Termination.

Mrs j. l.. Fontenrose passed away
at the home OF her parents, Mr. and
Mrs Seguin, in lone, early on Sunday
morning last. Her death at the early
age of twenty six years, has thrown a
gloom over the valley community,
where she had been known from in
fancy. For some days before the
end it was realized that she could
not recover. On the 10Th of March
last, she submitted to serious
surgical operation in San Jose. The
operation was not success and blood
poisoning INTERVIEWED, which medical
skill was powerless to combat In the
weakened. condition of the patient.
AS soon as she was able to be re.
moved, she was brought to the home
of her parents in lone, and every
thing possible was done for her relief,
but in vain. The funeral took place
in lone on Tuesday.

Narrowly Escape Accident

Last Saturday, after enjoying a
drive with his mother-in law, Mrs
Hosmer, Sheriff Gregory stopped in
front of Judge Rust's residence, at
which place Mrs Hosmer is staying,
and was assisting her to alight from
the carriage when the horses pro-
ceeded to walk away. He succeeded
in getting Mrs Hosmer out of the rig,
and started after the horses, but they
became frightened at something. The
wheels of the buggy struck a tele-
phone pole, the horses breaking away.
They ran on up Broadway and
across the bridge. Little Joe Dial
Porto, son of August Dial Porto, was
crossing the bridge, but seeing the
horses coming he became frightened
and got in the path of the team. The
boy was knocked down, but luckily
sustained no injuries other than a
few bruises. He was taken to his
home, while the sheriff sent for DR..
Endicott to see that everything was
alright. Little or no damage was
done to the buggy, or harness.

The Public Cemetery.

One of the greatest impI ovements
that has been done in this city is the
placing of the public graveyard under
some definite management and con-
troll with view of redeeming it from
the disgrsceful and delapldated con-
dition which has prevailed for so
many years. 1t was nobody's bust
ness to look after it, and consequent
ly it was neglected. The Ledger has
for years agitated the question of
placing it under some managing
body. with definite rules and regula-
tions governing interments and the
care of plots. When the city was
incorporated this was urged as a
matter of first importance. Recently
the trustees moved in this direction,
appointing a sexton, Il. S. Pitois.
He has only been in the position two
or three weeks, but already a decided
improvement is noticeable about the
cemetery. 1t has been cleaned up,
and Is fast displacing the wilderness
conditions that have heretofore pre-.
vailed. A charge of $40 will be made
for every grave dug. This we under
stand, will cover all the expenses of
interment. 1t will be exacted in all
cases. The county will be required
to pay the same for all hospital in
mates henceforth inferred therein.
Heretofore, the grave digging has
cost the county $3.50 each. The fees
Will be paid into the city treasury,
together with other sources of
revenue, such as the care of private
plots, and will constitute fund out
of which the salary of the sexton will
be paid-S50 per month. 1t will pro-
badly be sufficient to pay this salary
and all incidental expenses besides.
So that the cemetery maintained in
orderly and decent shape will cost no
more than it has hitherto done, with
neglect and delapIdation reigning in
every direction.

Contest Dismissed.

Judge John f. Davis was here for
several days on business concerning
the estate of f. M. Whitmore, and
other matters. The contest to the
codicil in the Whitmore estate. which
was started by eastern heirs, was dis
missed in the superior court last
Monday. The executors of the estate
w. Il. Webster and Alfonso Ginocchio
are collecting all bills owing to the
estate and will wind up the affairs as
speedily as possible, as there is moth
ing now in the way of settling up the

MINING NOTES.

Original Amador. Operations at
this mine, located at Amador City,
between the Keystone and Bunker
Hill, are being pushed ahead. All
indications point that those who are
In charge mean business. The shaft,
which is said to be 700 feet deep, has
been cleaned out to a considerable
depth A steel frame hoist with
engine and boiler are on the ground,
and will be erected as soon as posi-
BILE. The hoist is equal to developing
the property to the depth of 1000 feet.
The mine has been idle for more than
% years. Some good ore was taken
out. The present owners believe that
the development in the adjoining
mines-Keystone and Bunker Hill,
render it almost certain that this
claim will show paying values at
corresponding depths.

Fred Endey Appointed Receiver.

The superior court last Monday ap-
pointed Fred Eudey as receiver of the
broken Suffer Creek State Bank
His duties are to wind up the affairs
of the bank as speedily as possible,
with due regard to the interests of the
depositors. The appointment is a
good one; in fact the best that could
be made under the circumstances.
Mr. Eudey has Investigated the affairs
of the bank already, and is therefore
conversant with its business. lie has
moreover been in the banking BUSH
ness in jackson for many years, and
is thoroughly posted in all the details
of that business. His bonds have
been placed at sS5, 900, and as soon as
the bond is approved, which will be
in the course of few days, he will
enter upon his work. 1t is expected
that winding up the banks affairs
will take in the neighborhood of Etwo
years to complete, that is assuming
that no set backs in the shape of pro-
tracted litigation comes up to delay
matters.
The bond required is one of the
heaviest required of any official in
the county. The receiver has to
qualify in double the amount speciti-
ed by the court, which makes sl70,
900. The amount of the bonds is
determined by the amount due de-
positors, which is placed at SS5, 600.
The receiver will get nearly, if not
quite the full amount of suraties in
jackson and vicinity.
A .Caminetti has been appointed
attorney for the receiver.
There is said to be some soreness in
Suffer Greek over this, as the com
mittee wanted an attorney of San
Francisco for this place.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
