Temporarily Laid off.

About $50 men we're temporarily
laid off at the Kennedy this morning,
to enable needed repairs to the shaft.
The mill will be kept running on
rock accumulated in the ore bins.
Eleven or twelve men will be put to
work in the shaft, and it is expected
to have the repairs completed so as
to resume work Monday morning.
The lay-oft of the underground
miners therefore is only for two days,
as Sunday is a rest day in under

Gave New Bonds.

Peter Dabovich, the cashier of the
Sutter Greek bank, now in process of
liquidation, who is under arrest for
felony embezzlement, came over to
Jackson Tuesday and surrendered
himself to the officers. This was in
order to give new bonds, as the
parties that went on the bond at the
time of his arrest. f.. Soracco and f.
Werner, did so temporarily, so as TO
avoid the necessity of the accused
going to jail. W. Il. Snyder went
over to Sutter Greek Tuesday aud
made out and administered the oaths
to the new sureties. The bond is
SO, 600. with sureties qualifying in
double the amount, making $40, QUO.

Arrested for Adultery.

James Mortimer and Ellen Boney
we're arrested Friday of last week, on
complaint of U. s. Gregory, for liv
Ing in open adultery. Ihe facts are
that the woman came over from
Angels few days before the arrest,
and was taken to premises occupied
by Mortimer, which is separated from
the hall of records by an alleyway
about six feet wide, and which is also
adjoining the dwelling house of
sheriff Gregory. After several days
had elapsed, the complaint was sworn
to and defendants taken before city
recorder Thompson. Both pleaded
guilty, and we're fined $40 each or 20
days in jail. They are both taking it
out in Jail. Mortimer has been a
resident Of this town for d number Df
years, and a sign pain by profess
sion, and indeed quite an artist with
the brush. 1t is reported that he was
refused an opportunity to endesvor to
raise the amount of the fine. but
this is not SO. 1t seems the sheriff
said he had no time to go around
with him, but that he might use the
telephone for that purpose If he so

"HER ONE 6REAv SIN"

Miss Florence Stanley, who wears
the directoire gown in the play to be
seen here next Wednesday night at
Loves opera house, thinks the sheath
dress will never be adopted by the
American women as popular mode
of dress. While not vulgar, and quite
comfortable aud easy to wear, it Is
conspicuous, and Miss Stanley, being
an American woman, teels that, in
justice to the ladies, they are not
quick to take up fashions that in any
way border on immodesty.
The gown she will wear is a very
beautiful creation in black satin en-
broidered in gold, and as a work of
art 1t is supreme.

Freedom of thought means the pure re-

Emblazoned in letters of gold this grand
truth was reproclaimed by those in attend
ance upon the conventions held at Canal
Dover Ohio.
Success attended each and every move
ment of these conventions, and with joyful
acclaim new and greater impetus has
been given the cause of organized Free
thought in America. With joyous, glad
some heart, each and all combined to aid
in an extension of mental emancipation and
to renew the struggle for absolute intel
lectual liberty. Here were gathered to-
gether the present leaders of intellectual
thought in America. Here were men and
women of progress and improvement. The
laughing welcome, the handshake, the sweet
music of the happy smile, the warm i'm
pulses awakened, the joyous contract, the
warmth of association, the old and the new
in happy communion produced another
splendid triumph for liberty and truth.
Pen cannot do full justice in describing
the glories of this gathering. Tongue could
not evolve language fitting to its praise. From
many different States came forth queens
