Nevada City society people who are yearning for something new in the party line, should try the ‘“conversational party,”’ which is quite popular -in Chicago and other Eastern cities, PERSONAL MENTION. — t Social and Other Notes About People Old and Youne, _— Dr. Biber and his nieces have gone to the Bay.

Programme: are distributed and filled in the same way as at dances, each gentleman, as # rnle, being restricted to a single nuimber with a lady. The subject of conversation is then announced by the master of ceremonies and the couples converse for three minutes on the given topic, when a change of partners takes place and a newsubject is served up. The subject should be of a light, humorous character, requiring little exertion of intellect to handle. As a pleasing diversion for breaking the restrained formality with which an evening of entertainment invariably opens, ‘‘conve:sationales’’ will certiinly be popular, At all events this plan has been tried with the greatest sue cess on sundry occasions, the company discussing such topics ag ‘“The weather,’’ ‘Tis better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at 11,” ST, myself,” ete. oo Young Men’s Republican Club. Abvuut fifty young Republicans met on half an hour's notice at Grass Valley Monday ovening for the purpose]: of organizing a campaign club. — Jas.t R. Smith was elected temporary chairman and C. 8. Downes tem porary secretary. They decided to rent Coleman & Glasson’s hall from now till after the election. They are having two banners painted, one of which will be hung across the.street and the other along the front of the building. These banners will read respectively, “Headquarters of the Young Men’s Republican Club” and ‘Protection for American Labor.” John Glasson contributes two electric lamps, one for each front corner of the building, and over these will be placed appropriate transparencies. A meeting has been called fer Thursday evening, when the organization will be perfected. It is expected the club will have 400 members, as nearly all the young men of Grass Valley are enthusiastic Republicans. Successful Elevator Minins. Superintendent Tully of the Omega experimenting:in working that property by the elevator process and his efforts have been thoroughly successful. The tailings are now raised a distance of fifteen feet and conveyed to a worked-out portion of theclaim, and it is believed they can be raised thirty-five feet with equal facility. The watér when it finally passes off into the river is as clear as when it leaves the storage reservoir. Mr. Tully thinks the elevator system affords a practical and complete solution of the slickens problem wherever the extra amount of water required for carrying it on can be obtained at a reasonable cost. The Penn Valley Ditoh. The Excelsior Company’s Penn Valley ditch has been completed to a point where the farms of Messrs. Rex, Morrill, McNeil and Gassaway can now be irrigated. Mr. Morrill was the first to distribute the water over his land, and the results are surprising. He had corn fifteen feet high with three big ears tothe stalk. He has cut the corn and is now putting in cabbages where it stood. He has table beets weighing from six to eight pounds, squash that weigh one hundred pounds, and mangle wurtzels weighing forty pounds each. A 2 ae The Returning Militiamen. Captain Niliell and his bluecoats are expected to arrive here tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning, They started from Tahoe Monday and at last accounts were coming along in good style, having reached Donner Lake.

Monday afternoon as a heavy freight wagon belonging to George Danforth was being repaired at Seaman’s factory, it got away from the workman and ran down the hill to the Gold Run bridge, a distance of about 150 feet.

The Grass Valley Tidings of Monday evening says: Nevada City has a memory training class. The students in it are pursuing methods which will get their minds so that they will never forget anything. We regard a perfection of the memory faculty as not desirable; on the contrary, it will bea misfortune. A good forgetter is the best thing a man can have in his mental equipment. It will enable him to sleep well and it will cause him to have charity for his fellow man. A forgetter in his mind will make a man forgive the weaknesses of his fellow man. A forgetter in this sense is a special wheel in the mental machinery. We hold that no one can really forgive without in some degree forgetting. It will need no special mnemonical system to make the ordinary mind remember things that should be remembered. A mind stuffed full of mere facts is not « mind that can generalize and draw pleasant reflections or reach great conclusions. The mind trained to use all its faculties is what is heeded, and the mind cumbered with all kinds of facts can never do that. Memory should not be allowed to bar the way of thinking. Then again, if Nevada City gets so as to remember everything sume of the good aspirants for office up that way will find an awkwardness in explaining some factgof the past. Our friends at the county seat had better let up to some extent on that memory business. The Street Lighting Question, The talk about the city buying the electric light plant now in-use here seems to have subsided as suddenly as it sprang up. It is stated that private parties talk of buying out the Company: provided they can get reasonable terms, and that if they coimne into possession of the property their plan will be to light the streets of the city with about 25 incandescent lamps for the price ($70 per month) now paid for 12 arc lights. It is believed the incandescents would give a_ better distribution of light than the are system. The Trustees will probably at their next meeting decide to advertise for street illuminanting. Such a course would bring gus and electricity into direct and active competition, A Distressine Accident. A private letter received here yesterday says that last week Lincoln Hartman, a Nevada City young man who has been herding sheep atout four miles from Webber Lake, was seriously hurt at the Lake last week by being thrown from a horse which he was riding. He fell against a tree, and received very dangerous hurts. Up to the time the letter was written he had been in a stupor, speaking on one occasion only. A doctor from Sierraville is attending him. At firat the doctor thought he would surely dis. It is now believed he maj live, but that when he gets able to be around his reason will be impaired. The people at Webber Lake are taking good care of him. ‘Death of James Templer. James Templer of Omega, who was two weeks ago today stricken down with paralysis, died at 5:25 o’clock Monday evening. The remains were brought to this city yesterday and the fnneral will take place here at two o’clock this‘affernoon. The deceased was born in Virginia in 1807. He came to California in 1850. He had resided in Omega over thirty years and been engaged in mining till advancing age incapacitated him for work. He leaves a son—John Templer, of Omega,—and a aaughter who resides in Virginia. Mr. Templer was held in high esteem by all who knew him. 22 Gee Drunk and Noisy. A drunken hoodlum calling himself Rocky Mouniain Bill, and who was acquitted at Grass Valley Monday of stabbing a squaw, came tothe county seat that evening and proceeded to paint the town red. Heis an inveterate . lowhard, and told tall tales about his de-dson-the frontier. He mixed his drinks so much that he had a touch of tremens after going to bed. Strange to say, he kept of the clutchas of the peace officers, but they say they will make short work of him if he shows up here again. It is reported that he went to Washington yesterday. —~ +2 @oro— Red Men's Picnic.

The Notorious Thug Who Murdered Preller. Brooks, a'iaas Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer, whose execution draws near, is perhaps the most notorious criminal of the decade. His crin.e alone was revolting enough: to be chronicled the world the world_over, but his flight and sensational . capture invested the whole affair with a celeb~ rity thatfew cases have gained.

Bogue, the nurseryman, yesterday visited the ranch of John Oliver on Town Talk ridge between this city and Grass Valley, where the elevation i.bove the sea level, is 2,800 feet. He found there four ounce plums of the yellow egg, yellow and red egg, Bradshaw and Prince varieties, also extra large and bright Boston nectarines. He says he has never seen better fruit in the State. The trees are all four years old from the planting, and have from 80 to 90 pounds of fruit to the tree.

Coming to America he met Preller, also an Englishman, who had quite a sum of money upon his person. When the pair reached St. Louis the avarice of Brooks’ heightened by his need of money could no longer be restrained, and whi st Preller was lying down he quietly administered chloroform ; his victim fell into a comatose state, but Brooks not having enough of the drug went out and replenished his supply with. which he effected his purpose. . Severing the limbs from the body of the corpse he stuffed the whole disgusting mass intoa trunk. He fled to the Pacifice coast and took agsteamer for Aukland, New Zealand, presuming as there was no telegraph communication from here to that i land that escape would be sure. Upon his way to the coast he.affected a French intonation of voice in order to conceal his indentity.

Eprror Transcript :—I promised in a former letter to keep you posted in regards ‘to ‘this part of the country. This city is full to overflowing with — people_of all kinds and colors, and within another six weeks the festive Siwash will flock in to the tune of five or six thousand to pick hops. The railroads are pushing along and it is expected that the Canadian Pacific will within sixty days start out a branch from Wes! minister to join the West Coast road. There is plenty of, work here for all who want to work, but wages are not very large, being from $2 to $2.25 per day. : The weather is very warm. The thermometer stands at 85 degrees in the shade. VST Several Nevada City ‘people have been-here within the past month, among them tke Coleman brothers of Grass Valley. I don’t know whether they escaped the clutches of the real estate men or not. The Landsburg boys from Relief Hill have abcut finished the . Mill street contract. This is the heaviest piece of work of the kind ‘ever done here. They employ a numberof men and teams and are. doing -a splendid job. Being old miners they have an advantage over the average Mossback, The Southern Pacifie R.°R. commiles from here fer coal bunkers. It is booming things on that side. Lots out five miles are selling at from $50 to $150 each, and acre property within ten miles at from $200 to $250 per acre. Change of weather will . be liable to cool off the prices, House rent is exceedingly high. Up stair rooms rent unfurnished at $5 each per month, while furnished rooms rent at $5 per week. But I believe in Spite of all these, that the man who invests a few dollars in the Bartlett pear belt will come out better in one year than he who invests here. : Oup-Timer. Piles! Piles! Piles!

Nevada City society people who are yearning for something new in the party line, should try the ‘“conversational party,”’ which is quite popular -in Chicago and other Eastern cities, PERSONAL MENTION. — t Social and Other Notes About People Old and Youne, _— Dr. Biber and his nieces have gone to the Bay.

Programme: are distributed and filled in the same way as at dances, each gentleman, as # rnle, being restricted to a single nuimber with a lady. The subject of conversation is then announced by the master of ceremonies and the couples converse for three minutes on the given topic, when a change of partners takes place and a newsubject is served up. The subject should be of a light, humorous character, requiring little exertion of intellect to handle. As a pleasing diversion for breaking the restrained formality with which an evening of entertainment invariably opens, ‘‘conve:sationales’’ will certiinly be popular, At all events this plan has been tried with the greatest sue cess on sundry occasions, the company discussing such topics ag ‘“The weather,’’ ‘Tis better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at 11,” ST, myself,” ete. oo Young Men’s Republican Club. Abvuut fifty young Republicans met on half an hour's notice at Grass Valley Monday ovening for the purpose]: of organizing a campaign club. — Jas.t R. Smith was elected temporary chairman and C. 8. Downes tem porary secretary. They decided to rent Coleman & Glasson’s hall from now till after the election. They are having two banners painted, one of which will be hung across the.street and the other along the front of the building. These banners will read respectively, “Headquarters of the Young Men’s Republican Club” and ‘Protection for American Labor.” John Glasson contributes two electric lamps, one for each front corner of the building, and over these will be placed appropriate transparencies. A meeting has been called fer Thursday evening, when the organization will be perfected. It is expected the club will have 400 members, as nearly all the young men of Grass Valley are enthusiastic Republicans. Successful Elevator Minins. Superintendent Tully of the Omega experimenting:in working that property by the elevator process and his efforts have been thoroughly successful. The tailings are now raised a distance of fifteen feet and conveyed to a worked-out portion of theclaim, and it is believed they can be raised thirty-five feet with equal facility. The watér when it finally passes off into the river is as clear as when it leaves the storage reservoir. Mr. Tully thinks the elevator system affords a practical and complete solution of the slickens problem wherever the extra amount of water required for carrying it on can be obtained at a reasonable cost. The Penn Valley Ditoh. The Excelsior Company’s Penn Valley ditch has been completed to a point where the farms of Messrs. Rex, Morrill, McNeil and Gassaway can now be irrigated. Mr. Morrill was the first to distribute the water over his land, and the results are surprising. He had corn fifteen feet high with three big ears tothe stalk. He has cut the corn and is now putting in cabbages where it stood. He has table beets weighing from six to eight pounds, squash that weigh one hundred pounds, and mangle wurtzels weighing forty pounds each. A 2 ae The Returning Militiamen. Captain Niliell and his bluecoats are expected to arrive here tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning, They started from Tahoe Monday and at last accounts were coming along in good style, having reached Donner Lake. They will find the thoroughfare over the summit a very hard road to travel, especially for the supply train and the Captain’s old gray horse and cart. A Runaway Wavon. Monday afternoon as a heavy freight wagon belonging to George Danforth was being repaired at Seaman’s factory, it got away from the workman and ran down the hill to the Gold Run bridge, a distance of about 150 feet. Reaching the bridge it struck the railing and fell down into the ravine. It was badly broken by the fall. City Taxes. City taxes will becoms delinquent at six o’clock next. Monday evening.

The Grass Valley Tidings of Monday evening says: Nevada City has a memory training class. The students in it are pursuing methods which will get their minds so that they will never forget anything. We regard a perfection of the memory faculty as not desirable; on the contrary, it will bea misfortune. A good forgetter is the best thing a man can have in his mental equipment.. It will enable him to sleep well and it will cause him to have charity for his fellow man. A forgetter in his mind will make a man forgive the weaknesses of his fellow man. A forgetter in this sense is a special wheel in the mental machinery. We hold that no one can really forgive without in some degree forgetting. It will need no special mnemonical system to make the ordinary mind remember things that should be remembered. A mind stuffed full of mere facts is not « mind that can generalize and draw pleasant reflections or reach great conclusions. The mind trained to use all its faculties is what is heeded, and the mind cumbered with all kinds of facts can never do that. Memory should not be allowed to bar the way of thinking. Then again, if Nevada City gets so as to remember everything sume of the good aspirants for office up that way will find an awkwardness in explaining some factgof the past. Our friends at the county seat had better let up to some extent on that memory business. The Street Lighting Question, The talk about the city buying the electric light plant now in-use here seems to have subsided as suddenly as it sprang up. It is stated that private parties talk of buying out the Company: provided they can get reasonable terms, and that if they coimne into possession of the property their plan will be to light the streets of the city with about 25 incandescent lamps for the price ($70 per month) now paid for 12 arc lights. It is believed the incandescents would give a_ better distribution of light than the are system. The Trustees will probably at their next meeting decide to advertise for street illuminanting. Such a course would bring gus and electricity into direct and active competition, A Distressine Accident. A private letter received here yesterday says that last week Lincoln Hartman, a Nevada City young man who has been herding sheep atout four miles from Webber Lake, was seriously hurt at the Lake last week by being thrown from a horse which he was riding. He fell against a tree, and received very dangerous hurts. Up to the time the letter was written he had been in a stupor, speaking on one occasion only. A doctor from Sierraville is attending him. At firat the doctor thought he would surely dis. It is now believed he maj live, but that when he gets able to be around his reason will be impaired. The people at Webber Lake are taking good care of him. ‘Death of James Templer. James Templer of Omega, who was two weeks ago today stricken down with paralysis, died at 5:25 o’clock Monday evening. The remains were brought to this city yesterday and the fnneral will take place here at two o’clock this‘affernoon. The deceased was born in Virginia in 1807. He came to California in 1850. He had resided in Omega over thirty years and been engaged in mining till advancing age incapacitated him for work. He leaves a son—John Templer, of Omega,—and a aaughter who resides in Virginia. Mr. Templer was held in high esteem by all who knew him. 22 Gee Drunk and Noisy. A drunken hoodlum calling himself Rocky Mouniain Bill, and who was acquitted at Grass Valley Monday of stabbing a squaw, came tothe county seat that evening and proceeded to paint the town red. Heis an inveterate . lowhard, and told tall tales about his de-dson-the frontier. He mixed his drinks so much that he had a touch of tremens after going to bed. Strange to say, he kept of the clutchas of the peace officers, but they say they will make short work of him if he shows up here again. It is reported that he went to Washington yesterday. —~ +2 @oro— Red Men's Picnic.

He found there four ounce plums of the yellow egg, yellow and red egg, Bradshaw and Prince varieties, also extra large and bright Boston nectarines. He says he has never seen better fruit in the State. The trees are all four years old from the planting, and have from 80 to 90 pounds of fruit to the tree.

Severing the limbs from the body of the corpse he stuffed the whole disgusting mass intoa trunk. He fled to the Pacifice coast and took agsteamer for Aukland, New Zealand, presuming as there was no telegraph communication from here to that i land that escape would be sure.

Comfortable seats will be .provided for those ladies who attend the game. The Nationals propose to put into the diamond the s'rongest nine they have ever played.

So much has been said about the alleged political slate in this county that it may be of interest to relate a bit of private conversation, that was not heard, between knowing parties: “There is nothing in that,” said bone; “IT have examined into it and know.”’ oe “Ob! answered the other party, ‘you know everything, you do.” “No,” quietly retorted the first, “I don’t know everything, but you and I together do.” “What do you mean, siF?? _ “Why, you know everything—except-that you are a damphool; and.I know that.” — For Supervisor, fd.

Eprror Transcript :—I promised in a former letter to keep you posted in regards ‘to ‘this part of the country. This city is full to overflowing with — people_of all kinds and colors, and within another six weeks the festive Siwash will flock in to the tune of five or six thousand to pick hops. The railroads are pushing along and it is expected that the Canadian Pacific will within sixty days start out a branch from Wes! minister to join the West Coast road. There is plenty of, work here for all who want to work, but wages are not very large, being from $2 to $2.25 per day. : The weather is very warm. The thermometer stands at 85 degrees in the shade. VST Several Nevada City ‘people have been-here within the past month, among them tke Coleman brothers of Grass Valley. I don’t know whether they escaped the clutches of the real estate men or not. The Landsburg boys from Relief Hill have abcut finished the . Mill street contract. This is the heaviest piece of work of the kind ‘ever done here. They employ a numberof men and teams and are. doing -a splendid job. Being old miners they have an advantage over the average Mossback, The Southern Pacifie R.°R. commiles from here fer coal bunkers. It is booming things on that side. Lots out five miles are selling at from $50 to $150 each, and acre property within ten miles at from $200 to $250 per acre. Change of weather will . be liable to cool off the prices, House rent is exceedingly high. Up stair rooms rent unfurnished at $5 each per month, while furnished rooms rent at $5 per week. But I believe in Spite of all these, that the man who invests a few dollars in the Bartlett pear belt will come out better in one year than he who invests here. : Oup-Timer. Piles! Piles! Piles!
