ACKNOWLEDGMENT Wedding.

Chris Kristovich and Miss Annie
Perovlch were Joined in wedlock at
the Catholic church in the presence
of the family and few of the closest
friends, Father Kearney performing
the ceremony. Bias Mensich of San

Miss Wayne Troyan, lifelong friend
of the bride, was bridesmaid. The
bride was beautifully attIred in
cream crepe de chene over silk.
Immediately after the ceremonies a

Perovich home on Broadway. The
bridal couple left the same morning,
amid a shower of rice for Los Angeles
and other points in the southern part
of the state, where they will spend
three weeks honeymoon. Mr. and
Mrs Kristovich will make their home
in San Francisco, where the groom is
engaged in business. Miss Wayne
Troyan accompanied the couple as
far as San Jose, which is to be her
home in the future.
Miss Perovich was one of jackson s
most popular young ladies, having
spent the greater part of her life 10
this community, and her many
friends will regret that she has left
their midst. Mr. Kristovich is a pro-
missing young business man of San
Francisco, and was formerly employ

No Fireworks.

Let us hope the law against eX-
plosion of firecrackers, or explosives
of any kind will be strictly enforced
within the city limits. There are
state and federal laws, which under
heavy penalties forbid fireworks Yin
proximity to forest land or grass
lands. Such regulations are fully as
necessary to be enforced within cities
as protection to property. Indeed,
stringent laws are to be enforced the
coming fourth in all the big cities.
The menace of the reckless use of
explosives is fully understood. There
o1ght not to be any permission, or
color of permission given to violate
the law at any time, including the
Fourth of July. Should fire result
from such permission somebody
would he liable tor damages.

finishing touches upon the assess
ment roll for the present year, as the
roll complete has to be presented to
the board Of supervisors next week.
The complete figures of the several
townships Will be published in the

it is we'll known there has been a
shrinkage in values all through the

neighborhood sof $500, OO0, mainly
on the mining interests.

A CLOSE-CONTESTED
BASEBALL SAME
Two Jackson Teams Contes. for
Supremacy.

The best contested game of baseball
that has been witnessed in jackson
for "A long time was played on the
grounds Of the Athletic club, near
the Ieila mine, on Sunday last be-
tween rival teams selected from
among the business and professional
men OF this city. Prom the number
OF runs scored 1t will be readily
understood that the playing was not
remarkably good from an experts
point of view. But the tact that all
the way through the scores we're
running pretty even, sometimes one
side ahead and sometimes the other,
kept up the interest of the spectators
from beginning to end The rival
nlnes were distinguished under the
names OF the undeteated and unterror-
lied. The lineup was as follows:
Undofeated Unterrorized.
e. b. hndicott pitcher T.. Valvo
g. T. Vicini catcher Geo Poggi

The outcome was a victory for the

WIS in doubt up TO the very last inn

Inspection Proof.

The photos turned out by Logan s
studio at No. 10 s San Joaquin
street, Stockton, are certainly in
speotlon proof. Logan has long had
the reputation of turning out the
olassiest work of this kind, in the
San Joaquin Valley. lie is a born
photographer and has had oceans Of
experience. All these things count
when it comes down to actual work
menship. You remember that Solo
men said that in this world GAN was
vanity" But that was before Logan S
time. If he could have seen some of
Logan's work he would have changed
his ideas aud sat for a photo himself.

Would.Be Newspaper Regulators.

it is really amusing what profound
ideas some people, mostly of the
Office holding or office seeking class,
have Of the duties and responsibilities
of editorial work, and the conduct
OF newspaper generally. Usually
The men who howl the loudest are not
found upon the subscription list of
The paper they crticise. As far as
the newspaper Office Is concerned,
they are supposed to be as ignorant
OF the contents and policy of the
paper as though they lived thou
sands Of miles from the scene. They
have never contributed "A dollar to its
support, All the same, they are
deeply concerned in its contents, and
rush to find copy, and digest its
contents, before the subscriber has
had a chance to read it himself
These would be regulators of the
mons describing class are to be found
in every community. They usually
have some personal or political
grudge against tho paper or its
management; and are amazed to find
that the sheet against which they
storm and fume SO vigorously seems to
move along probably all the more
prosperously because of their rawlings.
An instance Of this occurred in
Sacramento this week. a body Of
men III wrought-up state entered the
Union office and by show of num-
bers imagined they could brighten the
editor out of his editorial boots.
1t is always the coward that resorts
to the protection Of crowd, or in
dulges in threats and bluster of per
sonal violence or boycott of business.
There are few editors who would not
correct any misstatement of facts
Willingly and voluntarily, when the
same is clearly pointed out in a
proper way. But they object to the
bulldozing methods, and are not
cowed By intimidation in any of its
ululIIpllClIy VI lOEus. LIZ uuudPeIS
OF Sacramento Union stood by their
guns The facts as stated we're true.
and they declined to yield i'll any
way. it is safe assertion that
mighty few, if any, of the invaders of
the editors sanction were either sub
scribers or advertisers. OF course
such proceeding helped instead oi
injured the Union. FAIR minded
people revolt at intimidation of the
press, especially when it is moving
in the path of public morality. They
will flock to its subscription list and
advertising columns all the stronger
on account of such attacks. The
Ledger has had lots of experience of
this kind in the course of % years
under the present management.
Every fresh assault has had the effect
of strengthening it's position with
the people, and adding to its patrons.
The threat and intimidation bust
ness has become a worn-out chestnut

On tuesday evening Herbert
Tucker, who is employed at the
Kennedy mill and boarding at the
Globe hotel, received a brief tele-
graphic message on reaching the
hotel, stating that his father had
been killed in San Francisco that
day. He in company with his

few votes. About a year ago he
moved with his family to San Fran
cisco, and for some time was en-
ployed as Waterman, afterwards tax
Ing to the building trade. lie was
a very handy man III any work
around building nr mine. He was
accustomed to elm bling ladders, but
there is a great difference IN doing
this in mine and on a tall build
Ing.
Deceased was a native of England,
53 years of age. lie was a member
of jackson lodge No. GO, f.. u A. NJ,
also of Excelsior lodge No. A. 0,

Oneida schooIhouse Completed.

A. Rial of San Jose, who took the
contract for building the. Oneida
schoolhouse at jackson Gate, has just
completed the job and reported such
to the trustees of that district His
bid for the job was $4,000, the plans
and specifications calling FOR a two
roomed stone building, with all CON
veniences. The building completed
is the most .pretentious school house
in the county, and being situated AS
it is on the top of a hill makes very
fine appearance. 1t has two large
rooms, one north and the other south.
On the east side there is very little
wall, it being displaced by large glass
windows, which will allow an abund-
ance of light, and keep the rooms
cool during the hot weather. 1t is
said that the contractor cleared only
$50 from the job after allowing him
self regular wages.

lions of United States bonds; by in
creasing deposits in national banks;
by stimulating additional issues of ma

importations from abroad of gold. Our
imperfect currency system has made
these proceedings necessary, and they
were effective until the monetary dis

increased the difficulty of ordinary
methods of relief. BY the middle of
November the available working bal

country had been obliged to resort to
the expedient of issuing clearing

$100,000,O00 three per cent certificates

Matters Concerning Hawaii
~. ssssssxsssssss

1 call particular attention to the
Territory of Hawaii The Importance
of those islands is apparent, and the
need of improving their condition and
developing their resources is urgent.
In recent years industrial conditions
upon the islands have radically
changed. The importation of coolie
labor has practically ceased, and
there Is now developing such diver
sity in agricultural products as to
make possible a change in the land
conditions of the Territory. so that
an opportunity may be given to the
small land owner similar to that on
the mainland. To aid these changes,
the National Government must pro-
vide the necessary harbor improve
ments on each island, so that the ag-
ricultural products can be carried to
the markets of the world. The coast
wise shipping laws should be amend
ed to meet the special needs of the
islands, and the alien contract labor
law should be so modified in its ap-
plication 10 Hawaii as to enable AM
erfcan and European labor to be
brought thither.
