From Our Exchanges.

Henry Cook, a brother of sheriff
Cook of this county, was found dead
In the mountains 70 miles east of
Georgetown last Friday. He went
into the mountains Saturday, the 5th,
to look after some ditch matters
above Uncle Toms, expecting to stay
at a little house about seven miles
from there. He did not return when
expected, so george Thomas. the
winter custodian of Uncle Tom g.. set
QUITO search for him. Thomas found
where Cook bad been at the cabin
and then discovered tracks, leading
away from IL. lie followed these for
about three miles when he came onto
Cooks body lying on the ground
near Cold Springs. lie had been
dead some time from exposure. The
deceased was entirely familiar with
the mountains and quite able, ordin-
arily, to take care of himself, but he
had been drinking very heavily be-
fore he left Georgetown and it is sup
posed that he became partially de-
mented. The cabin was shot full of
holes with bullets from his rifle. lie
was SO years of age and native of
this county and leaves no family.
His father, W. N. Cook, resides at
Bar Greek. Ell Dorado Republican,
Richard Rowe. who died at Oma
Ranch during the night of December
9th, was "a years of age and native
of Wisconsin. He came to California
in 1872 and settled in Amador City,
later on moving to Plymouth. but
for the past thirteen years made his
home at the Oma Ranch in this
county. Mr.. Rowe was a model
citizen temperate, frugal, yet genet
GUS IN gifts to worthy charities. He
leaves many warm friends to mourn
his loss. He had no relatives in this
state, but leaves two married sisters
in Cripple Greek, and brother, sup
posed to be in Colorado. --Repu blicap
Three of the water mains, of the
Utlca Mining Company leading ito
the Ross reservoir, which supply
Angels Camp with water, were
blown up with dynamite by unknown
persons at about IL O'Clock last
Saturday night. No water was to be
had until about noon the next day,
when repairs were made and water
again turned on. Our people were
greatly Inconvenience, and many
who did not know of the good quail
ties of water found it out for sure.
There is no clue assto who the
perpetrators of Dthe outrage were. -
Citizen.
Beginning with the new year our
local physician, DIR. Schacht, Will de-
liver every Friday at the West Point
school course of lectures demon
strating ''first aid to the injured"
and "antidotes for poisons. The
children will be required to go
through the same performance as that
shown them by the doctor. to show
that they thoroughly understand what
to do in emergency cases. DIR.
Schacht is a capable man and can
convey his ideas understandingly.
He was graduated from the California
Medical. College in 1856 and is also
graduate in pharmacy. He has had
much hospital experience. For a
nnm Der of years he was county
physician of Amador county. 1t is
laudable act on the part of the doctor,
as he receives no recompense what
ever for the lectures, and realizes
that life can often be saved if the
proper thing is done in time. This
innovation meets with the approval
of parents and certainly gives the
children of our school an advantage
over the Children of many other
schools. Citizen.

There are $500 almshouses IN this
country which cost more than $50,
600, 600 annually to maintain. They
house about W, 900 inmates. That is
little less than one pauper for every
thousand inhabitants, which is per-
haps too many for so rich country.
And even that list does not include
the numerous destitute persons who
depend upon charity through other
than official channels. The figures
are not menacing or startling, as one
in thousand offers fair chance
for escape, but they are sufficiently
large to emphasize the Importance OF
thrift, trait which many Americans
lack.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN
WILL BE HERE

We stand and stare as we see the
glazing headlines and our thoughts
quickly wander back to the days of
yore-days when the gifted author,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, first favored
us with her immortal work. The
young, the old, the gray, the careless,
all at different times have heard or
seen the beautiful play depicted on the
stage, or have perused the pages of
the book. The heart interest is SO in
tense that a magnetic influence seems
to assert itself at times and draw us
again within the portals of the play
house to witness those thrilling scenes
of ante-bellum days. A grand and stu
pendous production of this immortal
play will be given by Stetson's big
double company at the Opera House
on Monday next, March 2. Seats now
on sale. Prices rs and so cents.

SCENIC PRODUCTION AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT.

In e. J. Carpenters latest Offering,
Why Girls Leave Home" which will
be seen here for the first time tonight,
Thursday, February 27, at the Opera
House, is promised a play of excep-
tional merit. The story is a purely
wholesome one, consistent and coher-
ent, and in this alone has it won its
remarkable success. The story is of
a wilful girl, beguiled into question
able pleasures by a man of the world
A hot-headed elder brother, a sweet
teart, a sister and mother, who do not
understand the girl, take part and com
Ilicate the situation by misunderstood
ings. There is a great deal of emo
tional work as well as many exciting
scenes while the comedy interspersed
throughout the action is of the side
splitting sort. The play is mounted on
an elaborate scale and an admirable
cast has been selected to interpret the
several characters. Seats 10Y ON sale.

The local correspondent to the
Free Press says that an anti
treating law would be all bosh"
because Nebraska has had such
a law on her statute books for
twenty years and it is a dead
letter. " We opine that if things
were looked into there would not
be state in the Union but has
dozens Of these dead letter"
laws on their statutes. And
why? Because the laws are in
dead hands. They are not
repealed and are not enforced.
Sometimes one of these dead laws
is raked up for a special occasion
and creates all kinds of trouble
for the time being and is then
dropped back into its grave again.
But no law is dead" until it
is repealed unless the hands that
administer it are dead or palsied.
The laws against murder, theft
and arson would also be dead"
if left to the law breakers to
enforce. And an anti-treating
law in this state would be just as
effective as the Sunday closing
law or anti-gambling law in
every section where the people
demand it's enforcement.
