OF walking sticks, match boxes, car

Just KICKED AT A CAT.
cure for rheumatism Discovered by a
Jersey Freight Clerk.

Jersey Freight Clerk.
A clerk in the Pennsylvania railroad
freight Office in Jersey City suffered
from. spasmodic twinges in his right
leg, which he attributed to rheuma-
tism. He consulted physician and
spent good deal for medicine, but
continued to grow worse.
One morning recently the Office tom
cat in a spirit of friendliness arched
his back and rubbed against the at
flicted calf. The clerk gave vicious
kick with his bad leg, and gray
streak shot through the air. He hob
bled to chair, and sat down with a
few stirring remarks about cats and
rheumatism.
A few minutes later he gritted his
teeth hard, and arose. He shook his
leg and feebly smiled Then he walk
ed like a drum major across the floor,
and boisterously shook hands with
himself. The sharp twinges had dis.
appeared, and there has been no re-
currence of pain.
The clerks doctor corrected his dag
nOsis when asked fer an exclamation Of
the sudden cure, and said that what he
mistook for rheumatism was probably
caused by twisted ligament. The
kick at the cat Strengthened out the
twist and removed the cause of the
trouble.

Jackson Defeats Electra.

Last Sunday the Electra baseball

the local diamond, and though they
played good game, the locals we're
too much for them. The score at the
end of the game stood TO 0 with the

first inning the Jacksons scored three
runs, but from then on until after
the game was half over they failed to
score. Then they came in bunch,
scoring five runs in a few minutes.
"Socky" Arditto, who twirled the
ball for Jackson, was at his best, and
certainly had the support of the rest
of the team as is shown by the score.
The visitors got dangerously near the
home plate more than once, hut each
time they we're headed off before a
score could be made. Special men

MINING NOTES.

Central Eureka. The prospects for
the rehabilitation of the Central
Eureka are very encouraging and our
people are jubilant over the fact.

greatest mines i'll the world and with
its resumption of operations the
wheels of industry will again hum in

Record.
The Gwin Mining Company has
levied an assessment of 20 cents per
share. There are 100, 600 shares, so
That the assessment will realize $50, =
700. The mine has been running be-
hind, and has accumulated an indebt-
edness of considerable amount.
Argonaut- Mr.. Mathews, the prin-
cipal stakeholder of this mine, is eX-
pected to arrive here any day from
New York, matters concerning the
mine. The rumor about changes to
be made in the management is merely
conjectural. Twenty stamps of the
mill are kept running, and it is hoped
to be able to keep this number run
ming during the continuance of sink
ing operations. 1t is the intention
to push the sinking several hundred
feet deeper, and this will take from
three to four months to complete.

Last Saturday an Austrian miner
arrived in this city from Arizona,
and put up at the Exchange lodging
house kept by John Chinn. 1t seems
that upon retiring for the night, he
took his wad of money, consisting of
Sl3O in greenb backs, and stuffed the
same under his pillow, as a safe de-
positary. Sunday morning he went
to work, forgetting to withdraw his
wealth from its hiding place. Mrs
Chinn on making up. the beds found
the roll of money in the place where
its owner had left it, and of course
took charge of it to restore it to the
roomer. On his return from his shift,
the ledger presumably went to his
room and took peep into his impro-
vised safe deposit box, and found his
wad missing. He Immediately hunt
ed up the landlord, and eXcitedly in
quired who made up the bed that
morning. Being informed that it
was Mrs Chinn, he hunted her up.
AS soon as he approached she sur

running until he reached the board
ing house, where he told. the rest of
the boarders his experience. They
Immediately armed themselves with
anything available and started out to
find the two fellows. When they

Burrows Applies For
Franchise in TurloCk,

Tom j. Burrows, Jackson manager
of the Amador County Electric Light
and Railway Co., has applied to the
trustees Of the city of Turlock,
Stanislaus county, for franchise to
operate an electric lighting and water
system for the entire town. The pro-
position has been advertised by the
city and the privilege will be sold to
the highest bidder. The matter will
be decided within the next couple Of
weeks. 1t is understood that there
are a number that would like to
obtain the privilege, so more than
one bid will probably be presented to
the board. 1t is his intention, if he
is successful in obtaining the fran
chise, to install a steam plant for the
generation of the electricity, and
install pumping plant and large
tank for the storage of the water
Mr. Burrows stated to a representative
of this paper that he has no intention
of leaving jackson, at least not at
