More Scared Than Hur..

A curious state of affairs was dis
covered in Amador City the latter
part of last week, showing how small
pox, once dreaded as the scourge of
human ills, has dwindled to COM
paratively harmless complaint. The
name of this disease carries terror
nowadays, because of the memories
conjured up from the past. But as a
matter of fact, it is trifling malady.
highly contagious still, but robbed of
its terrors. For some weeks, If not
months, persons have been working
in the mines of Amador with notice
able eruptive pimples, Children
have attended the school with sim liar
symptoms. Little was thought Of
the sores., They did not bother very
seriously, and little or DO fever ac-
companied the outbreak. At length
inquiry was started In some way.
District Attorney Vicini accompanied
Friday to look into matters. The
doctor found two cases of smallpox
we'll developed, and had them quaran-
tined. 1t was found that others had
suffered from the same disease, but
were convalesoent-by that we mean
they had progressed beyond the
period of danger from infection.
There was no necessity to establish a
quarantine in their case. They had
passed through the whole seige of the
disease, and did not know it, and
attended to their daily affairs as
though nothing was amiss. Small
pox is therefore chiefly dangerous
from its very mildness. Persons con-
tract it, get over it, mingle with
their fellow men carrying the danger
of contagion with them, and don't
know it.

The Baseball Season

The jackson Social and Athletic
Club has lust closed the most sue
cessful baseball season ever held.
Contrary to the general opinion,
there was nothing in the games from
the standpoint of the clubs treasury.
They actually went behind on the
seasons business, Notwithstanding
the heavy receipts sometimes taken
in for admission at the gates. One
of the best days receipts was when
the team from Sacramento came here.
The receipts on that occasion amount
ed to S72. This, however, was more
than Offset by the expenses During
the season. the sum of S1014.5 so was re-
ceived from the gate and other
sources. With subscription of $50
collected from the business houses.
there was a balance of SG2, which
was divided up among the eight
players who had played throughout
the season, S4 being awarded to each
player. This constitutes the muniti- =
cent salary each one secured for his
services in catering to the public
amusement.

Montenegrlns Object.

In the item last week about the
stealing of the diamond pin from a
house OF i'll fame by Chetko Plstinak
we stated that the defendant was a
MontenegriD. There are so many
different nationalities in the Balkan
regions of Europe, and so much jeal-
ousy existing, that it is necessary to
be very precise in matters of this
character. The Austrians did not
want the offender to be classed as one
of them. And now come the Monte
negrins saying that the accused is not
of their race, and take it as retlec-
tion upon them that he should be so
rated. In such a dilemma the news
paper is in a pretty fix. According
to the protestants in this case the
offender is a native of Herzegovina.
which is a province adjoining Monte
negro, and under. the jurisdiction of
Austria. We trust this explanation of
the delicate question will be salts
factory to all parties.

Death of a Former Jackson Resident

Q. q. Heiser, an official of the
local lodge of Woodmen OF the World,
received a dispatch yesterday after
noon from Thermalito, Butte county,
announcing the death at that place
that morning of George Mcmillan, a
member of the Jackson lodge. No
previous notice of his sickness had
been given and it is thought that his
death was sudden and unexpected.
Deceased was for several years a
photographer in jackson, Shortly
after his gallery in the Kay building
was burned out about three years ago,
he sold his outfit aud business to j..
d. Palmer and thereafter he and his
wife moved to the vicinity of Oro-
vile, where they engaged in the fruit
business. The notification to local
lodge was to enable the relatives to
draw the funeral expenses. Deceased
was 81 years of age,

FATHER GLEASON RETURNS.

The Rev. j. j. Gleason, the Catholic
priest of jackson, returned from lhis
trip to his native land-Ireland-and
other countries, on Thursday of last
week, after an absence of six months.
He reports that he enjoyed his trip
thoroughly, and enjoyed the best of
health during the whole time. he
had not visited his native heath for
eighteen years, and during that
time many changes had taken place.
He travelled through the length and
breadth of Ireland, and noticed de-
cided change for the better in the
condition of the peasantry OF that
country. Under the liberal policy OF
the British government adopted with
IN the past few years the people are
gradually getting to own their hold
ings. The government advances
money for the purchase, which they
are required to pay back in annual
instalments. Their homes are taking
on more COmlUrIdulo dPPoaiohOo'
and the farmer class are becoming
contented. Father Gleason travelled
through Scotland and England. He
then passed over to the continent,
through Paris, and the country dis
tricts of France, also Switzerland,
Germany and Italy. lie left Queens
town for New ork on his return voy
age on the 4th of October. Reaching
America, he tarried at various points
on his way home, spending few
days at Chicago, Des Moines-where
he has brother in the priesthood
also at Denver, Salt Lake, Los
Angeles, Fresno and other places.

Mrs Margaret Holtz, another piO-
neer lady of California, and Tor many
years a resident of Amador county,
passed away from earthly scenes at
her residence ON the Hamilton tract
ia this city on Monday last. after
brief illness. She was taken sick
about a week before the end came,
and only few hours prior to life's
close she was seized with a congestive
chill which speedily terminated in
death. The funeral was held on We'd
nesday, services we're conducted at
the deceased's late residence by the
Rev. T. II. Nicholas, after which the
remains we're laid to rest in the pro.
testant cemetery by the side of her
husband, who preceded her to the
grave many years ago.
Deceased was born In Holstein,
Germany, November II, 1882, and was
76 years and days old at the date of
her demite. Her maiden name was
Wohlenherg. She came to California
by way of the lsthmus of Panama in

BEAT THE BAND

Some weeks ago George Krause was
secured as instructor of the band in
jackson. He came from Sacramento,
and was fairly we'll up in his pro-
fession. AS the sequel shows, he was
an expert in other ways besides
music. He took the precaution to
collect for his services in advance.
He took no chances with country
jakes, preferring that they should
take all the chances on him. And
they did so to their sorrow. If all re-
ports are true he was a pretty good
borrower. The middle of last week
he quietly shook the dust of Jackson
from his feet, walking to Martells,
there took the train for parts un-
known. A board bill at the Louvre
restaurant to the amount of So was
left unpaid, besides the band boys
loss of music lessons paid for. A
warrant was issued out of the re-
corder's court for his arrest. 1t is
reported that he was detained at Gait,
but somehow managed to give the
officers the slip.

Benefited by the Springs.

w. j. Nettle, foreman of the
Argonaut mine, accompanied by Mrs
Nettle, returned home Sunday even
ing. Mr. Nettle spent several weeks
at Byron Springs, taking the bath
treatment for rheumatism. During
the process of treatment-really the
process of recovery-he felt very
little improved. lie did not have a
very high opinion of the curative
properties of the md bath treatment
while he was there. The attendants
however told him that he would feel
the effects after he left. When the
treatment was completed they inform
ed him that nothing further could be
done in his case, and that it was
useless for him to remain longer.
Soon after leaving he commenced to
feel better. On Monday-the day
after reaching home-he went to the
mine to survey around, and the
following morning went to work,
feeling almost as we'll as ever. lie
has been attending to his duties
steadily ever since. lie has very
high opinion of the curative virtues
of Byron Springs in rheumatic affect
ions

Benevolent orders on the Boom.

The Cry of dull times seems to have
little effect upon the secret societies.
The last week has witnessed a boom
in membership the like of which has
perhaps never before been witnessed
in any town in the county. Last
Wednesday evening Excelsior Parlor
n. S. G. W. of jackson, and Orc
tino Circle Companions of the Forest
held initiation exercises, the first
named in Odd Fellows hall, and the
Circle in Masonic hall. The Native
Sons initiated 43 members, and the
circle 81 members. The latter lodge
has hit upon the plan of increasing
theymembership by offering a prize to
the one securing the largest number
of recruits. At the Native Sons
initiation the grand president, g. NJ.
Belshaw, was present, besides a
plumber of visiting members from San
Andreas, lone, SutCer Greek and
other points. A bountiful spread was
partaken of in each case after the
official exercises.
