imous in the desire to join the Greater City, which fact was evidenced a short time ago when an indignation meeting was held because the suburban City Council had taken the attitude of heading of an annexation election.
 At the regular meeting of the North Haven council Thursday night T. E. Street appeared before the body with a petition signed by more than enough citi- zens requesting that an election be held. This petition was, through the regular channel, referred to the judiciary commit tee. MT. Street stated Yesterday after noon that he has talked to the members of the judiciary committee and that they are willing to call the election.
 It is stated that the committee of the North Haven council will report favorably on the petition at the regular meeting next Thursday week, after which a special committee will be appointed to wait on Mayor Frank P OBrien of Birmingham, and it Is understood that in all probabll- lty the annexation election will be called within the next three weeks.

ACCIDENT ON
AMADOR CENTRAL
An Employe Severely Hurt

The down freight train on the Amador
Central rairload met with all accident
Wednesday afternoon that suspended all
traffic over the road for the balance of
the day. At a point about two miles
from lone, one OF the cars loaded with
sulphurets got off the track. 1t was a
straight portion of the track, with easy
grade, and why the car should leave the
track we are unable to explain. No one
of the train crew was hurt. but the track
was torn up for distance of 81 feet The
wreckage put quietuS on all traffic un
til the damage could be repaired. The
supplies and material and men neces-
sary to repair the damage were at the
Martell end of the line. A hand car was
started from Martell loaded with
material for the scene of the wreck, in
charge of Jack King. At point near
the Newton copper mine, King noticed
some obstruction on the track, and
realizing that he could not avoid col
lission with the object, he concluded to
Jump off the car. In doing so his rain
coat caught in the brake, and he was
thrown violently His right leg was
fractured, right ear cut off, and
severe cash was cut in tn back of his
head. The wounded man was brought
to Martell, and DR.. Endicott set the
limb and treated him otherwise, and he is
getting along as well as could be eX-
pected The accident to the freight car
prevented the up-passenger train from
coming through that night. A convey
ance was dispatch to bring the mail to
Jackson, and did not reach here until
about II O'Clock. The track was re-
paired during the night, and the pas
senger train made the trip Thursday
morning on time.

The unusually sad circumstances sur
rounding the death of this eStimable
young woman, and the esteem in which
she was held by all who knew her in
life, drew large concourse to the last

The choir rendered selections appro-

pressive discourse, the remains were
conveyed to the city cemetery. and laid
in their final resting place. The floral

Lodi Orchestra Explains.

For the masquerade ball given by Orc
Fno Circle last week the Lodi or
chestra was engaged. The Lodi or
chestra, however, did not play for this
ball, the music being furnished by an
orchestra from Stockton. This substi-
tuition has led to some criticism, in the
absence of explanation. 1t seems the
substitution was made by the Lodi
band, in conformity with an understand
ing of the Musicians Union of San
Joaquin county. The following COM
munication from the musicians con-
cerned will fully explain the matter, and
refutes all charges of unfairness:
Lodi, Nov. 20, 1909.
AS the Patton and Springer orchestra
has been allowed to take as many dances
on one date as they see fit to, and as
their customers were glad to trust to
them for music, if they could not come
in person, the Lodi Musicians Union
No. 523 and the Stockton Musi icans
Union No., l89 compelled us to play the
first Job we were engaged on, so there
fore the Patton and Springer orchestra
had to remain in Lodi on Wednesday
evening November "a, to play for the
dance OF the Native Sons and we had to
substitute music for the dance at Jack
son.
Signed Patton and Springer.
To confirm this story we will have
two OF the board of Directors of Local
523 sign this,

members OF board of Lodi Musicians

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an intlamed condition of The
mucous surfaces.
