Death of MRS phear.

Mrs Jane Phear. wife of Samuel
Phear. proprietor of the express
wagon of this city, died at the -esl-
dence on Broadway on Sunday morn
ing about three O'Clock. The end
came Unexpectedly. She had been
ailing for a long time from chronic
trou bles of the limbs, hut nothing
dangerous. On Friday last, she was
taken sick from stomach ailments,
and the doctor was summoned. On
the folio wing morning she was worse,
and before leaving for Sacramento
DIR. Gall again made professional
visit. Toward evening, seeing that
the patient appeared to be growing
worse, Or. Sprague was called, in the
absence of the family physician. The
patient WIS in an extremely weak
condition, and nothing could be done
to avert the fatal termination, which
was evidently only few hours away.
She died early Sunday morning from
some intestinal complaint The
funeral took place Wednesday after
noon, services at the residence, the
Rev. L. fl. Nicholas officiating.
Deceased was very estimable
woman, a native of England, 81 years
of age. She leaves husband and
one child. a daughter about ID years
of age.

Dwelling House Burned

The dwelling house of Domenico
Gianiui, situated on the Belluomini
ranch, two miles south OF jackson,
was utterly destroyed by fire, with
all its contents, on Friday afternoon.
The fire is supposed to have started
from a defective stove pipe. The
family had partaken of dinner about
noon, and thereafter, il is said, the
dire in the stove was allowed to die
out. 1t is surmised, however, that
the stiff fire kindled at this time,
ignIted the timbers in the upper
story, and after smolderlng for two
or three hours, burst into flames.
The fire was discovered about three
O'Clock. As soon as discovered an
attempt was made to enter and save
the contents, but the men were driven
back by the smoke. Practically
nothing of the furniture or other con-
tents was saved. The house contain
ed five rooms, was substantially built,
and the owner estimates the loss at
$1,000. There was a small insurance,
but just how much we have not
learned.

WANT AMADOR MAN APPOINTED.

State Senator Caminetti was in
the city yesterday from jackson, and
had a conference with private secre-
tary TO the Governor n. g. Cooper re-
lative to the appointment of super
Tor court judge for Amador county.
Judge Rust of that county died after
his reelection in Novemb Der, and
there are three applicants for the
Office William q. Snyder, IRE
publican), j. W. Caldwell (republi-
CAM, and d. b. Spagnoli (democrat).
Senator Caminetti said he WAS not
here in the interest OF any one of
these, but simply to- see what could
be- done to ill the vacancy, as the bar
association of Amador county had
Endorsed these applicants and wanted
an Amadur county man on the bench.
Sac. Union.
1t is safe to say that political con-
siderations, rather than desire for
the welfare of Amador county is the
underlying incentive to confine the
appointment of Judge to the limits OF
Amador county. 1t may be the senti-
ment of the local bar. and it certain
ly is the desire of the court house
clique. but we venture to say, beyond
these elements the sentiment is not
Endorsed by one tenth OF the people
of Amador county-those who want
the best talent to he had for this re-
sponsible office 10 seek to limit the
matter to local residents can not be
defended on the ground of home
loyalty under the circumstances.
The whole hue and cry has the ear
marks of political plot in the inter
est of the democratic party. If local
man secured the appointment they
believe they might stand chance to
capture the judgeslip two years
hence. Whereas, If a strong, capable
man from the outside, OF republican
antecedents, comes here, their hopes
IN this direction fall to zero. This
is the whole thing in nutshell

A STRANGE CASE.
w, Ross and Wife Arrested
for FrauduIently Obtain
ing Deed in Their
Favor.


w, Ross, the new tailor. who came
to this town from Angels about four
months ago, and started business in
the premises formerly occupied by
Max Ladar, was arrested Wednesday
evening, also bis wife, and landed in
jail, on complaint of Jos. ID. Mason,
who charges them with abstracting a
deed TO a couple of lots in the out
skirts of Stockton. aud having the
same placed on record in the re-
corder's office of San Joaquin county.
1t seems Ross and his wife have, since
their advent in this city, occupied a
house belonging to Mason. They
bad been negotiating about the pur-
chase Of the Stockton lots in question
for two or three weeks. A bargain
was made that the couple should have
the lots for S400. A check was made
out on the Amador Bank for that
amount in payment. and the deed to
the lUts pissed from Mason to Ross
or his vito. thereafter, and before
the check had been presented for
payment, tho buyers became dis
satisfied, and the upshot was that the
money in the bank was withdrawn.
Ihereupon 1t was arranged that Mason
should give up the check, and Ross
surrender the deed, and the deal de-
clared off. phis was done. Other
negotiations we're started. resulting
in trip to Stockton by Mason and
Mrs Ross, for the purpose of showing
the latter the lots, and have her
judge for herself as to their value.
They came back ;he middle of last
week. In the meantime, so it is said,
Mason had deposited the deed in a
trunk in his dwelling. After the re
turn from Stockton, Ross stated to
several that his wife had bought the
lots for 5000. On the other hand, it
is claimed that Mason refused to part
with them for that amount or any
thing less than S400. A few days
afterwards, as the report goes. Mason
looked into the trunk where he had
placed the deed, and found it miss
ing. Upon inquiry, he found that
the deed had been sent to San
Joaquin and put IN record. The
document had been given into the
hands of w. &. Snyder, as attorney.
for the purpose of getting it record
ed, on the theory that the purchase
price had been paid to Mason. Mason
says he received no money, and hence
the arrest of the pair on charge of
purloining the document.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can Go this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Why's and wherefores Of Slang.
(E'rom the Boston Transcript

(From the Boston TranScriptD
AS a matter of fact, little slang is
an excellent thing, but in the present
era of slang more than the smallest
quantity is great deal too much. The
English language may fairly be said
to be the most picturesque and most
expressive in the world, and it does
not need the verbiage of the slum. or
even the catch words and catch
phrases of the street, to add to its
vigor and variety. AS a rule, the use
of slang is indicative more of paucity
tibility to the humorous and the
graphic. Ii we tell our friend to "get
onto his job" Ito get onto himself
ito get busy" ito get a move on" OF
any one Of a hundred other things, we
certainly reveal our tendency to move
with the tide Of the hour, but at the
same time we clearly show that we are
more initiative than original. We speak
slang frequently thru sheer laziness.
1t was the last word in the mouth of
companion, and 1t becomes the next
word in ours. It is echoed by the
speaker, by the teacher, by the lectur-
err, by the writer, but with rare excep-
tons it never becomes anything but
slang. After ALL 1t is only the best Of
slang that survives, but even then we
need not excuse ourselves for becom-
ing proficient in It's use. We should
think Of the present as well as of the
future. Why use slang when we can
speak the speech Of our heritage equal
ly we'll? Why become the blind leaders
of the blind?

Hint to Lax Governors.
est. Louis Globe Democracy

ST. Louis S1lODe-DemOCraC.)
A year or two ago, in a meeting of
the Pennsylvania Society in New York
city, Secretary Root said that "the
people will have the control they need,
either from the states or from the ma
tional government; and if the states
fail to furnish 1t in due measure SOON
er or later constructions of the Con-
stitution will be found to vest the
power where it will be exercised-in
the national government" This was
warning that many of the states
were lax in doing their part toward
protecting the interests of their peo-
pie, and that il the laXness should
continue, the central government
might, for the peoples protection,
eventually have to step in. Cries Of
alarm went up from many democratic
governors and legislators at the time,
but the warning had an immediate eff
feet The governors and the legisla
lures of the last year and half have
been buster in looking after the inter-
ests, or imagined interests, of their
people than for many years previous.
~ Some of the activity was calcu-
lated to harm rather than to help, but
the activity was a sign that state law
makers and administrators, chiefly the
latter had neglected some of the du-
ties which they had been chosen to
perform.
