Died From Cancer.

George q. Schneider, an uncle of
Chris Meiss, the stage driver of
jackson, died at the Suffer Creek
sanitarium on Monday afternoon.
He was for many years resident on
the Meiss place in the vicinity of
Forest Home. He had been sick tor
long time, and came to jackson
several weeks ago to stay with his
nephew, in the hope that the change
of air and scenery would prove beue-
fetal. But no improvement came.
Some three weeks ago he was removed
to Suffer Creek, to be treated at the
sanitarium of DR.. Goodman. His
case was diagnosed as internal cancer,
and little hope was held out. A
capital operation might afford tom
porary relief, but that was regarded
as a doubtful problem. However, the
patient grasped at this slender hope,
and insisted upon underg going surgical
operation. The cavity was opened on
Monday, when it was found that the
cancer involved the vital organs of
the stomach, including the liver, and
that it was impossible to attempt it's
removal with any chance of success.
Deceased was about 80 years of age,
brother at the late Mrs Q. Meiss.. The
funeral was held on Wednesday, under
the auspices of the Odd Fellows
order, deceased being member of
the lodge at Amador City, Inter
ment was in the cemetery at Dry
| town.

DIED SUDDENLY ON WAY HOME.
Miss Sarah Mexican Stricken in
Stockton after Finishing Her
First Term as School
Teacher.

In the death of Miss Sarah Nc
keau, daughter of Mr. and Mrs X. o.
Mexican, residents of above Volcano,
we have to chronicle peculiarly sad
and nntimely occurrence, which has
impaired shock to the eastern sec
ton of the county, where the young
lady was SO widely known and highly
esteemed.
Deceased had just completed her
first term at school teaching at Key
stone district in Tuolumne county.
She was on her way home to Amador
county, but remained over in Stock
ton with a sister and brother, who
we're attending the Western School of
Commerce in that city. 1t was the
intention, as soon as the business
college term expired that a reunion
of the members OF the family would
be held there, and all would return
home together. This gathering was
being looked forward to with fond
anticipations by all concerned. But,
alas, instead of time of joyousness,
it was turned into scene of mourn
ing by the intrusion of death. De-
ceased had complained OF not feeling
we'll for several days but little was
thought Of it, as she continued to be
around al usual. Wednesday, how
ever, the sickness assumed a serious
form and the parents we're notified
of the alarming symptoms. In a
short time after the receipt of this
message the news came to them that
she had passed from the land of the
living.
The father came down Saturday
from above Volcano to meet the re-
mains at Martells station, to convey
them home. The funeral took place
at Volcano the following day, and
was largely attended. The deepest
sympathy is felt by the whole COM
munity for the afflicted family lin the
loss that has so suddenly befallcn
them.
Besides the parents, deceased leaves
four sisters, namely, Mabel, ALDER
tine, Flora, Jessie, and one brother,
William, to mourn her untinely end,
on the threshold of womanhood.

pronounced it incurabe. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional

Fortune For Eoruers.

The last person to suffer death for
forgery in London was Thomas May
nard, who was executed on Dec 81,
1929. 1t was not however, until 1882
that the death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transported ton, though
even then an exception was made in
the case of forging or altering q
will. This exception was not removed
from the statute book until 1887. In
the days of good Queen Bess forger
of deeds was very severely dealt with.
He had to stand in the pillory; his ears
were cut off. his nose slit, and he was
branded with hot irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to i'm
prisonment for the rest Of his days,
and everything he possessed in the
world was forfeited to the crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.

Control Policies.
RADICALS IN SENATE
TO BE STRENGTHENED
If Conservatives in the Upper
House Retain Power, 1t
Will Only Be After a Hard
Fight.
BY Sheldon S. Cline.

washington, Dec, 2S--The accept
ance by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania,
Of President Taft's tender of the
state department folio, is rather dis
concerting to the conservative leaders
of the senate. The retirement of
Knox adds to the probability that the
radicals will come into power in the
senate within a few years, overthrow
ing the rule of what is known as the
Aldrich- Hale faction.
Senator Knox was counted by the
conservatives as one of their own,
though he has failed on a number of
important issues to act with other and
older conservative leaders. AS a man
of legal attainments he had no supe-
rior in the senate, and his ability and
intellectual qualities were such that
he could compel support that might
be denied Messrs. Aldrich and Hale on
the mere ground that they were party
leaders. After the retirement of John
c. Spooner of Wisconsin, it was Knox
who in great emergencies, was put for
ward to combat the attacks of Bailey
of Texas and other eminent lawyers on
the Democratic side.
Knox a RooseveItian.
Senator Knox is in sympathy with
the general principal of federal control
of corporations as enunciated by Pres
ident Roosevelt, but he has not approx
ed of some of the rather drastic meas
ures through which the executive has
sought to attain that control. AS a
big corporation lawyer before he en-
tered the cabinet as attorneygeneral
Mr.. Knox knew what corporation law
was, and was competent to Judge what
would and what would not stand the
supreme court test. When he left
the department of justice, therefore,
and took his seat in the senate, he was
at once accepted as most important
addition to that body and at once took
rank as leader
In the senate Mr.. Knox has trained
with the conservatives. Whether Eli
hu Root will seek like senate affilia.
tions remains to be seen. Mr.. Root is
recognized as a great lawyer, and in
that respect at least, will fully COM
pensate the senate for the loss of Mr.
Knox. With Knox, who has been
in the senate, dealing with affairs of
state at one end of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and with Root in the senate after
long term as secretary of state, re-
publicans of both factions admit the
administration Of Mr. Taft will be i'm
measureably strengthened from the
outset in all matters pertaining to our
relations with other governments Mr.
Root is by nature conservative and
the Aldrich-Hale faction will be great

Pres. KeIly's Address.
President r. L. Kelly Of Earlham
college introduced DIR. Coulter. He
said in part: Ladies and gentlemen,
I am sure our hearts are set throbbing
this afternoon while We are dedicating
this temple to the use of the young
men. am sure that the management
had in view in it's selection of speak
er a passage from the Bible. I have
the pleasure of introducing to you a
distinguished scientist, great man,
DIR. Coulter of Purdue University"
Dedicatory Address.
After a short introduction in which
of the requisites attributed to him
by President Kelly, and that he had
but little time to prepare a dedicatory
address, having received the call but
last Tuesday, Dr. Coulter delved into
his address.
Il am interested in Richmond and
the young men OF this city. That is
why l accepted the invitation" He
said: "The service of the Young Men
Christian Association is not only to
serve self but others. On an occasion
as this there is not only dedication
of the material building but also Of
ourselves. We can say to the young
men. this is your building to enable
you to gain a better and truer out
look of life
DIR. Coulter declared that in this life
people were judged by what they ac-
complished. Such was true of an in
stitution of this character he said.
Self Dedication Not Easy.
Dr. Coulter said, 'It is very readily
realized that it is easy to dedicate a
building, but not always ourselves.
The strength of man in material and
intellectual work Is realized by all
and what has been desired has in
most cases been secured by the brain
and the hands. Men have realized
however that something was lacking
and now clubs are being formed for
the purpose Of attaining righteousness
the characteristic which is lacking.
He further stated that it was found a
bit awkward to gain this trait by
many. Men, however, are again be-
ginning to realize their strength and
are going back to custom of so
years ago when men took much part
in the visiting of the sick. doing mis-
sion work and the like, in the search
for this trait-righteousness Il call
to the people who intend to use the
building, to the contributors, and to
the citizens to come back to this old
standard" said the speaker.
Commends the Bible.
He spoke very highly of the Bible,
declaring it to be the great work
of literature and adaptable to all
classes and conditions; declaring that
men have lost vitality because of loss
of knowledge in the Bible. The presi-
dent of Cornell university, whom, he
stated. was not known as deeply re-
ligious man, had but recently deelar-
gu tue Dipie " pe the pooh VI power,
of pleasure and Of relaxation.
Young men if you want to come
into the splendor of manhood go to
the Bible. l care not on what plane it
may lie; whether for physical training
for intellectual development or the
like" stated Mr.. Coulter. How often
the quotation Who doest this thing
is not WISE is found in it" HERE
