THURSDAY...March 8, 1900) acai Over Four Inches During ‘the Past Twenty-four Hours. The most severe storm of the season was that of last night. It rained steadily all night, and from 9 o’clock yesterday morning up to 9 o’clock this morning the gauge, at the office of the South Yuba Canal Company at this city,. _ showed that four inches and two onehundredths had fallen. This morning Deer Creek was booming and as high as at any time for many years. Hundreds-of people went to view the raging stream. For the past two days it has been quite warm, and the snow between here and the Summit has mostly disappeared. The ditches and _reservoirs are filled to their utmost capacity. A: few days ago many people were congratulating themselves upon the fact then that the heavy fall of snow in the mountains would keep up the water supply tilt next year’s storms were due. There is some consolation left, however. The weather prognosticators assert positively that. another big storm is coming which will give us plenty of snow, rain, hail, thunder, forked lightning, etc. So we better not get intoa sweat about the water supply for a few months yet. The following shows the rainfall for the season; the “Greater Americ”.

Up to this time Mr. Ryan has not drawn any salary for his services, Controller Colgan being governed by the Attorney-General’s opinion in the matter, It is,now-to be hoped matters will proceed more smoothly, and that the usefulness of the Commissioner and Auditing Board may not be farther impaired in their work of improving the condition of the rivers. Lost Money on the Goods. George Ellis, the Grass Valley pawnbroker, is very sorry that he ever had anything to do with Ralph White and Lee Shoecraft. He just wishes that they had never come into his store, for he is out and injured to the tune of over $16. He believed them when they said the gold he bought of them came from a gravel mine, instead of being melted jewelry gold. Honest men, who have gold to sell, always take it to a bank or assay office, and not to a pawnbroker’s shop. Ellis knowing that fact his eyes to imagine that a whole corps of players throng the stage, each trying to drown the sound of all the others’ playing: He is equally skillful with the xylophone, manipulating that instrument with a skill that he has not, been approached here before. ha Miss Bowen, the vocalist has a very pure and highly cultivated soprano voice and a charming stage presence.

The Willards in their world-famed musicul act were among the star attractions of the night. They have by far the most elaborate outfit of novel musical instruments yet brought here, and they play with indescribable skill and finish. In the first part of the program all of these people appeared in their various specialties, “and they were recalled again and again by the enthusiastic audience which seemed unable to hear enough of their superior playing and singing.

Lee Shoecraft, the self-confessed burglar, is in a dilemma, and evidently needs the advice of some other crook. Toa gentleman who called on him at the county jail.a few days since, he said: “There ie about $150 coming to me from a certain company and it will not be paid for some time. Now, what I want to know is this? Willthe money be saved for me till the end of my term in prison, so I will have it to spend in what I should do after my sentence expired and the money was gone?” The gentleman told him that he might come back to this county and be convicted on the other burglary charges, which he confessed, and he would then have a soft thing on the State Prison. “Attention, Ladies.» Mrs. D.
