Runaway Causes
Some Excitement.

Yesterday at noon time not a little
excitement was caused by the run
away of a team, harnessed to light
spring wagon, belonging to Joe Matt
ley, and which he had left standing
in front of McCutchen's shoe store.
They we're facing up the street and
were turning probably with the in
tention of going to the ranch. A
couple of men tried to stop them, but
the hoses became frightened and
broke into run, turning into the
alley at the National hotel, and cross
ing the creek. They were stopped by
a fence about hundred yards from
the creek. The only damage done
was that one of the springs was
snapped, though the wagon was heavi-
ly loaded with supplies. They were
driven back to the place from where
they started, and allowed to stand
without hitching, when almost the
same thing was repeated. the horses
turning and breaking to run; but
they we're caught by the briddle and
held until some one could get into
the rig. At the time julius Piccardo
and Ed. Kay were sitting in the din
ing room of the National hotel facing
the door which leads from the out
side. The former saw the team com
ing as fast as it could right for the
door Thinking that they might
plunge into the DINING room he let
out Cry Of warning and got out OF
the way, closely followed by Kay.

Serious Accident.

John Libby, timberman at the
Argonaut mine, was the victim of a
serious accident yesterday. lie was
working in the shaft, and was en-
gagged in conversation with w. j.
Nettle, the superintendent. lie had
just passed from the north TO the
south compartment of the. shaft, and
while standing talking the skip de-
seconded, striking him on the back,
and throwing him down; he fell
several sets, when the skip caught
him in the left leg, tearing the
muscles and flesh badly, although
fracturing no bones. The injuries
sustained are severe, and will lay him
up for months. lie was conveyed to
his boarding place at the Globe
hotel, where he is now staying. DIR.
Gall is attending to the case. The
injured man only returned to this
city about a month ago, after work
ing in the railroad shops of SAGA
mento for several months. This
lameutable occurrence will be deeply
regretted by his many acquaintance
and friends throughout the county.

The Sewerage Question.

The sewerage question is getting to
be very serious one in this city
under existing circumstances. 1t was
a vital topic of discussion long be-
tore the town was Incorporated; and
to improve the town in this regard
was considered the matter Of primary
Importance. The dumpage of sewers
into the several forks of Jackson
creek, all passing through the heart
of the town, was crying evil, I'M
sanitary and menace to the public
health. 10 provide a main sewer to
carry the sewerage a reasonable dis
lance below the city limits was deem
ed the most pressing need. But sc
far nothing in this direction has been
accomplished. But the sewerage flow
ing into the streams has been greatly
augmented within the past two years.
Recently it was proposed to connect
the schoolhouse lot with the sewers
running on Main street, with the
dumping ground within a stones
throw of the business street. This
was objected to by property owners,
who talked of an Injunction suit il
anything of this sort was attempted
The matter is thus at a standstilI
and it is not probable that the sewer
ed area will be materially extended
until main outlet is provided below
the city limits. No connections witt
any sewer at present laid down cal
be enforced.

An impre sslon is abroad that Mrs

ed that a general raise is contemplat
ed. Upon inquiry from Mr. Blair,

this impression is incorrect; that no
general increase will be made, but an
effort will be made to regulate or
equalize the rates; that is to say that
the prices charged will be COVER ned
by the amount of water used, the
larger consumers paying a higher
rate. The changes will effect but
few anyway.

After thus awarding the contract
for the Ledger the clerk, with the
knowledge and consent of the
trustees and attorney, sent an order
to San Francisco for election ballots,
instructions to voters, and other
printing supplies, which have always
been done here, and can be done as
we'll here as elsewhere. The work
will amount to half as much as all
other jon work required by the city
for the year. That is the way our
city government regards the obllga
tions of a contract, under the lowest
Did system. The Ledger upon finding
out the facts at once served notice
upon the clerk stating that any print
lug sent elsewhere than the Ledger
office would he deemed a violation Of
the express contract, and protesting
against the allowance or payment Of
any claims therefor, and that the
officials concerned would be held
responsible ON their official bonds
for such violations. The only ex-
ouse for this treacherous action
against home industry that we have
heard, is that charges in the law as to
the printing of such work have been
made, and that it was thought best to
send it where it had been made a
special study. Think OF that. What
do we keep salaried attorney for
any wayY

LAUGHTER AND DIGESTION.

That a normal mind is really a
basis of good digestion is shown by
the remarkable sensitiveness of the
digestive processes to mental condi
tions. Sudden sorrow, bad news,
disaster, great losses OF property or
friends, great dlsappointmeuts or
worry not only arrest all the diges-
tive processes, hut even suspend the
formation of the gastric juice.
2 1t has been shown that when the
gastric foIlicles are distended and
the gastric juices flowing freely from
them when one is hungry and eating
with great relish, the sudden receipt
of bad news completely reverses the
digestive processes. The gastric
glands immediately become parched,
dry, feverish, and food will remain
in the stomach for many hours with
the digestive processes absolutely
suspended.
The digestion seems to be depend
ent upon the condition of the mind.
Often our passing moods hasten OF
retard digestion.
We often hear people, especially
delicate women who have nervous
dyspepsia, say that they do not
understand how it is they can go out
to late suppers or banquets and eat
heartily all sorts of homogeneous
foods without feeling any inconveni-
ence afterwards.
They do not realize that it is due
to the change in the mental attitude
They have had good time; they have
enjoyed themselves. The lively con
versatlon, the jokes which caused
them to laugh heartily, the bright,
cheerful environment completely
changed the mental attitude, and, of
course, these conditions we're reflect.
ed in the digestion and every other
part OF the system. Laughter and
good cheer are enemies of dyspepsia
Anything which will divert the
dyspeptic's mind from his aiIment
, will improve his digestion. When
they we're at home worrying over
their health, swallowing little
dyspepsia with every mouthful OF
food, of course these women could
not assimllate their food But when
they were having a jolly good time,
they forgot their ailments and were
surprised afterwards to find that they
had enjoyed their food. The whole
process is mental.
People who go to health resorts
attribute their improvement &c
change of air or to the waters they
drink, when, as a matter of fact, it
has probably been wrought by change
of environment, change Of mental
suggestion, as much as by the change
of air or water.
Spring waters, mountain or sea air,
often get great deal of credit which
is due to recreation-good, whole
some fun. When people go away Oh
vacations or little outings they go fol-
the purpose of enjoying themselves
and, of course, they are benefited -
