Bell Denies Allegation

Bell said tonight that while he had
written several letters to Norton
he had notified the Los Angeles man
subsequent TO the letter written on
February 90 that he would neither
seek nor accept an Endorsement from
the Los Angeles conference.
There was time" said Bell, when
it seemed that an Endorsement might be
advisable, but the developments of the
situation made such action unwise.
When 1 announced my candidacy in San
Francisco I wrote to Norton saying
that I would neither seek nor accept
conference Endorsement. He had am
pie time to call his friends together
and talk it over. Instead he wrote me
that if / did not accept that indorse-
ment it would be given to another. If
/ had been a child and he the greatest
boss in the world his language and at
titude could not have been stronger"
Bells friends came to Los Angeles
determined that democracy as repre-
sented by the conference should accept
the challenge issued by Mccarthy, who
secured the adoption of resolutions de-
nouncing Bell by the state building
trades convention at Monterey. Bells
friends and Bell himself believed it was
the duty of the conference to put de-
mocracy on record as favoring the fight
made against Mccarthy by Bell and the
democracy of San Francisco

AngeIenos Are Disguised

Norton and his followers We're in the
depths of disgust this morning over
their defeat and the adoption of resolu-
tions against Endorsement of any cam
didate.
1--WE have been misrepresented
shamefully," said Norton. Bell him
self was the originator of the indorse-
ment scheme, it was not mine. This
conference was planned for the purpose
of indorsing a ticket and for nothing
else. That was the plan accepted at the
San Francisco conference. Bell was not
only for Endorsement himself, but he
gave me a partial slate consisting of
himself for governor. Tim Spellacy for
lieutenant governor and Cartwright for
attorney general. His letter speaks for
itself. We kept two local candidates
out of the fight for him. He was for
Endorsement all right until he found
out that there was good chance that
he would be beaten. Then he shifted
the responsibility on to me- His actions
have cost him the support of all the
men who actually do the work in this

posits exist, and decide upon the most

Deafness Can not be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

Broadway has another home to it's
list of beautiful residences Geo.
Vela has recently moved into his new
cottage, which is situated on a terrace
just opposite the Broadway hotel.
The building is built on the lines of a
cottage, and has very impressive APP

rustic chimney are among the con-
spicuous features of the structure, as
well as large panel door constructed
of Hawaiian mahogany. At the side
of the door is an Egyptian lamp which
adds materially to the uniqueness of
the residence. The interior of the

Hopes to Settle

w. G. Snyder, attorney for the lien
holders of the Keystone mine, re-
turned from trip to San Francisco
on Wednesday evening. He hopes to
have the liens paid off without the de-
lay and expense of contest in the
courts. Mr. Morphy, who is largely
interested in the California Mines Co.
hopes to make settlement shortly.
1t is understood, if settlement of
these liens is made, the company will
likely be granted further time by the
owner to pay for this valuable mining
property, and at an extension of time
will aid the company in pulling out of
the financial tangle.

Infant Dies

The infant son of Mr. and Mrs John
Green died on Sunday afternoon at 9
p. m. at their home on Peek's hill.
The infants life from it's birth was
despaired of, but the tender and
watchful care given it by its mother,
enabled the baby to survive the fate
which the local physicians said must
surely overtake it, for the past six
weeks. The funeral was held on Mon
day last, and the child was taken to
Mokelumne Hill, and inferred in the

THE PEANUT.
It Starts Growing In the Open, but
Finishes Under Ground.

It Starts Growing In the Open, but
Finishes Under Ground.
Most people of the forth suppose
that peanuts grow, like potatoes, on the
roots of the vine. Others with equal
confidence state that they hang from
the branches like pea pods. Both are
right, and both are wrong. The peanut
starts in the air and sunlight above
ground i'll the shape of a flower grow
ing at the end of long tube. After
the fall of blossoms this tube, or pc
duncle, elougates and bends down
ward. pushing itself inches into the
ground. If for any reason it cannot
do this it dies in few hours. But
if it succeeds in burying itself to it's
own satisfaction the ovary at the base
of the peduncle slowly enlarges and
forms the familiar pod. which is there
fore dug out of the ground.
Scattered over the roots of the plant,
however. are numerous warts or tu-
bercles. in which, by the aid Of a good
microscope. can be seen myriads of
minute organisms. These bacteria-like
bodies, though they get their living
from the plant. contribute materially
to its supporting by collecting nitrogen
from the air and holding it in storage,
so to speak. supplying it to the plant
as need requires. These wonderful
little storehouses often contain, by
analysis, greater supply of this in
despensable fertilizer than the sur
rounding soil.
The native country of the peanut has
long been matter of dispute, but the
department of agriculture states that
the weight of evidence seems TO be in
favor of Brazil. Thus the peanut is
added to the four other plants of great
Importance that America has given to
the world-namely. cotton, Indian corn
tobacco and the potato.
