Pensions Raised.

The following letter was received
from Congressman Englebright within
the past few days and will be of great
interest to many in this county:
Washington, d. g., April %, 1908.
My dear sir:-I take pleasure in
advising that the rate of pension to
all widows, minors, and helpless
children now on the pension rolls at
a less ratio will be increased to Sl2
per month under the act of April 10,
1908, from the date of the act.
No application IS required to obtain
the increased rate, but the same will
be paid by the United States pension
agent at the next quarterly payment
upon receipt of the voucher properly
executed which is now in possession
of the pensioner.
The present pension certificate
should he retained until it's return
shall have been requested by the
pension agent from whom the pension
is received.
Respectfully yours,
W. f. Nnglebright,
NJ. c., First California District

Snow In Nav.

Ihe hills few miles above Jackson
we're treated to coat of the white
mantle during Saturday night. 1t is
a rare event to have fall of snow in
this month at such an altitude.
Since early days there are but three
instances that snow has appeared in
this month-ouce in the SOS, again
in so and last week. At Pine
Grove the fall was few inches. Vol
cano had its share, while or 6 inches
fell at Antelope. OF course it could
not last long in a May sun, and
quickly Disappeared, being of
material help to the crops on ac.
count of the long drouth. The brisk
north wind moderated before the
following morning and no damage Of
consequence resulted to the fruit
blossoms and fruit just forming. The
foliage was we'll advanced and afford
ed ample protection. Early vege-
tables we're cut down in a few cold
Localities, but nothing was entirely
killed.

A Midnight Disturbance.

The town was treated to a row Sun
day night last, the result of which
promises TO bring about a number of
reforms as we'll as to keep the city
recorder busy in adjusting the four
cases now before him. The two boys
generally had been to Paloma to wit
ness the ball game in the afternoon of
that day, aud some of them had taken
on little too much refreshment.
Well, late that evening Dan Driscoll
and Virglio Boro had little trouble
with a drunken man and had followed
him into @. B. Arditto's saloon, in
tending to thrash him. .Arditto pull
ed off his coat and said that he would
take hand in it, The boys lett the
place at that, and at the door met i'm
CaIrira. Driscoll accused him of
making statement that was not
wholly true. They started in on
Carrira when Arditto stepped out and
hit Driscoll. The latter Immediately
swore out complaint of battery
against ArdiltO, who appeared before
Judge Thompson, plead guilty as
charged, and was fined SO, which he
paid. Driscoll also had Carrira
arrested for battery, but he plead not
guilty, and was released on bail.
Arditto then had Driscoll, Boro, and
Steve Anoove WIN took q small mart
in the affair. arrested OH misdemeanor
charges. They plead not guilty and
were released on bail. Later a
warrent was sought for the arrest of
Arditto on the charge OF selling
liquors to minors, but this was not
successful. The case against Car
riIa, complaint of Dan Driscoll is
set for Monday.

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 inAamed CON
dition of the mucons lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have IA rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when IL is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 80 It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an innamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

No BIDS For Wood.

AS will be seen by the supervisors
proceedings in another column there
wero no bids tendered for supplying
the county with wood for the current
year. That result was not expected
and such thing has not occurred for
some time, if at all, in the history of
the county. There is no 4-foot black
oak wood TO be had i'm quantities
around mere. Wood choppers are not
as plentiful ms they we're several years
ago, when the ditch construction and
other work were the cause of drawing
men to this section. There is plenty
of wood, but none cut. The county
has always demanded the best dry,
black oak. 10 postpone the re-
ADVERTISING for another month might
mean no change in the anxiety to
furnish the county with wood, and
even under the present arrangement
it is hard TO see how it is going to be
thoroughly dry. Even that of last
year was not fully seasoned, and a
mild winter left larger quantity on
hand than usual. The heating stoves
are all made for wood; burning coal
or coke in them is out of the ques-
tion. So the Supervisors, in order to
guarantee something that might pass
as wood, green or partly seasoned,
entered into contract with A.
Massa to furnish what might be need
ed at IS per cord. The county paid
81. 50 per cord for that delivered last
year.

Wanted for vaarancy.

A warrant for vagraucy was issued
out of Judge Thompson's court last
evening against Miss Eva Howard, {,
one of the demi monde, and placed in
the hands of Marshal Huberty. lie
started for Sacramento this morning
where the woman is supposed to be in
hiding. This charge is but legal
excuse - get her back IN order TO
place more serious one against her
that OF enticing u young girl of
this town. The name OF Miss Eva
Howard has been taken to conceal
her identity as far as possible. 1t is
we'll known that she has or had a
husband at Plymouth, whom she
abandoned as we'll as two or three
small children. After leaving Ply
mouth she went to Stockton for
awhile, and from there was traced to
jackson. One Of her relatives was
here some time ago and tried to in
duce her to return to her family, but
his visit was failure, and she was
left to follow her own evil ways.
